Vacation!

My one get-away this summer was going to Kah-Nee-Ta. For those who have no idea what that is, which im guessing is most of you, it is a high desert resort on an indian reservation. It is out by Madras, Oregon. It was over 100 degrees everyday and i definatly got some sun!! My family went with another family that we go to church with. It was really fun! There was a huge pool with water slides. The pool was mostly heated by the natural warm springs in the area, so the pool wasnt quite as refreshingly-cold as i was hoping for it to be. Because the resort is an indian reservation, we camped in Teepees!! It was basically glorified camping. We had running water,and real toilets (thank goodness)near by. We also went horseback riding.
The trial went right up through the mountains and overlooked the entire desert.It was absolutley gorgeous. As you will see from the many pictures i took, i really enjoyed the view. Another thing that was really cool was that there were wild horses that would roam free in the mountains surrounding the resort. It was so pretty and i swear right out of the movie Spirit .



After we returned home from the trip i went right back to working 2 jobs the next day. WELCOME HOME! haha. Since then i also have some pictures from going to see a Volcanoes baseball game with a group from church. That was really fun, although i wasnt really paying any attention to the game. And my first "baseball game" hotdog will be my last because it was sick! I did get a free Volcanoes baseball, haha but ended up just having some friends sign it. It was great.





Well im sure ill add more later, but that's all for now!

Graduation

Hey Everyone! I just created this blog, as you can see. I thought it would be a good way to let everyone know what's going on in my life and keep you posted on everything i will be starting in the next few months!! For those who don't know, I just graduated from highschool! Its crazy to think that i will no longer be walking those halls laughing at all the tiny freshman with their backpacks sinched up wayy to high. oh shoooot. Im a freshman now!! Or will be this fall anyway! In case you are out of the loop, Im heading off to BYU Idaho this fall to study Nursing! Im really excited and can't wait for the new beginning, and all the exciting changes!!

As as far as my summer goes, its pretty boring thus far. Im working 2 jobs right now, so im really sorry if im not doing as good of a job of keeping in touch with everyone!! Ive come to realize that since graduation, a lot of things have changed and will continue to change!! For example, ive realized that summer doesn't exsist anymore and i HATE that part. Just add on some bills and we can go so far as to call ourselves boring 'ol adults.(and we thought turning 18 would be cool. shooooot...) Tomorrow I am going to Kah-Nee-Ta, my one vacation and break from the maddness before school. So that should be fun, and help me re-gain some of my sanity. Kah-Nee-Ta is a resport on an Indian Reservation. It has fun waterslides, horseback riding, mini golf, and other stuff. I better get some sun, I need to prove to those (what do you call someone who is from Idaho?) Idahoans? haha that us Oregonians DO get sun, or I do anyway (sorry to all you pale folks out there..) I will be sure to add pictures when i get back!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the good memories I have of high school and home. You will be missed.

That's it for now.
