First trip to the dog park

In late news... I adopted a new puppy. His name is Cache. He is great and I love him. He is almost ten weeks old. A red Heeler mutt if you will.Today we had the great idea to go to the dog park. Kat brought Peter, her great dane pup. Tina brought Alice, her boxer pup. I put Bryan in charge of Zoro, Logan's mini pin pup. And I brought Cache... my pup.
Even though they're puppies still, Alice and Peter are on their way to being very large dogs, so the smaller pups had a hard time keeping up with them.
Cache fell asleep on the way home he was so worn out. It was cute.

One day older and wiser too.

It is official. I am the age of 24. If I were still in school this would be a great age to celebrate. Other than that it's rather anticlimactic. But still. It was a good birthday. The zoo with my nephews. (pictures to come later). Dinner with good friends. Backyard movie. Free desert at chiliis and cake and ice cream bash to finish it all off.

The three amigos even made me a bunt cake that was very tasty.

I also got some absolutely adorable shoes that I can't wait to wear. thanks roomies!

I am in love with this song.

Dogs...

After I'm settled in Salt Lake I'm going to be looking into getting a new dog and trying again. I'm going to avoid dogs with histories, and consequently will be going with a puppy. If this one turns out bad it's all on me.

Addie is missed daily though. The other day I wanted to go for a hike by myself. Regularly I would have just taken Addie with me and felt completely comfortable. But when I realized I had to go completely by myself, it didn't sound as appealing.

These are my two favorite loves....

etsy?

I am in love with Etsy...

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

So they are in the process of trying to replace me at the shop.... we've had 53 applicants in the last two weeks. Most females seem to jump at the chance of 'working' with flowers. And every one of them sees themselves as a talented florist at heart....

consequently we have lots of amusing resume's to look over... and cover letters.

Top two...

#2 Cover letter excerpt: "I have the gift of the gab"

#1 Special Skills section: "O.C.D."

not sure when being ocd became a skill, but apparently I missed that. I may start listing things like a.d.d or chronic depression and see if it makes my resume get more noticed.

The Twinskies (Alex & Chris)

(sneaking out to get some peace and quiet)
My roomies decided to go ahead and have a birthday. Consequently this is obviously cause for a celebration. We had elaborate dj-ing plans but decided to settle for a cake and ice cream party to save Boyd (our 80 year old ornery neighbor) the phone call to the police. (Someone later took care of that because randoms were blocking the sidewalk by standing on it and that is apparently illegal. I hadn’t had much sleep the night prior and spent the day making t’s wedding flowers so I jetted out of the party to a cooler more quiet atmosphere until the cops kindly made everyone vacate our home so we could sleep. While out I bought a hammock. It now resides between our two trees in our front yard.


T & C are married….

(warning: sparkler dance party can cause burns....)

(cade may frequently make strange faces.)

(Don't worry she didn't fully eat the sparkler.)

Our dear friends Tosha and Cade wed on July 1st. It was a chaotic but fun day. I did the flowers for them and that was a handful. Due to a lack of servers at the luncheon a few of us bridesmaids became servers. Not my most favorite moment of the wedding, but memorable still. Their flowers turned out great, and we all had a good time with the sparklers at the end of the reception.


Fourth of July!!!

(Fireworks make people happy :)

(Cache Valley Cruise IN!!! We staked out some sweet spots - Steve (my little bro) me, Mckay, Heather, Makell)

(Lewiston Fireworks... funny faces?- Steve, Me, Mckay, Heather)

(lewiston... Chris, Makell, me, Alex, Ellen)

(Me, Brett, Makell - Hyrum fireworks)

I love the 4th, mostly because I love fireworks. Not so much setting them off myself, and almost blowing off my hand like Russell, but more just setting out a blanket laying down and watching them explode high up in the sky. This holiday we saw three fireworks shows. Thanks to Cache County’s scheduling they are all spread out. Hyrum has their show on Thursday night. It’s pretty good. Logan takes their turn on Friday night… This one is a big deal and causes far too big of traffic issues. Then Saturday Lewiston has theirs. This was my first year attending Lewiston’s, and it reminded me of Fillmore. You just lay in a random baseball field by the rodeo grounds and they are set off right above you. Despite its short and sweetness, it was my favorite.

Excercise.

No not the regular excercise like getting on a treadmill at the gym. I hate those.

But good excercise involving sports.

Sunday night I only got a minor workout winning four games of ping pong. strenous in some cases.

today I got a a golden sunburn and got dominated in two games of volleyball. don't worry they only won because of Mckay who will obviously be on my own team next time.

tonight. more volleyball and a bike ride.

the sun is out. finally. and it is officially summer. (until friday when it rains again.)
