Hey all, just wanted to let you guys know that I have added some new things to my portfolio and invite you to all check it out. I decided to add my graphic design stuff to it so I could keep my favorites together and easily accessible (for job interviews etc.) I would love any suggestions from anyone in ways you think I could do it better.
Yesterday I mowed the lawn again, I think I made the mistake of doing it once and now it will be a common occurance. Oh well, I guess I can mow the lawn, I do feel a little retarded when the neighbors drive by and wave while I heave the beast into the next position.
Next week Andrew and I get to go to St. Maries where he is from and go camping with his family I am really looking forward to the break and can't wait to head up to that beautiful part of the country...it really is like a retreat when you go up there, it is a completely different world. THEN after that all of my family is coming up here to Logan and going camping with us the next week at Tony's Grove!! I hope they are excited, because I have fun stuff planned.
P.S. To my Sisters...don't forget that Breaking Dawn comes out this weekend (like I need to remind you) and that we hope you all have it read by the reunion so we can "discuss/swoon" over it at the reunion.

Update
So I realized that I have had no time to really blog anymore and when I do, I don't really say much about what is going on, so tonight I thought I would do so, especially because this is my only form of journaling lately.
We had a great weekend for the 4th of July in Provo with the family. Mom and Dad were in Seattle with Jenny and Todd, which meant we got to sleep on their memory foam which, FYI, is now what I want for Christmas. It was a good break.
I have also recently gotten a new calling. I am now the Laurel's advisor! I think I will feel much more at ease there than as the Enrichment leader. I was struggling with that one a little bit. My first activity with the girls was on Wednesday and I had to drive a bunch of them to the temple...apparently I am a scary driver because they were all reaching for the handles and freaking about how quickly I made my stops. In my defense, I am used to driving alone, but I admit, I am probably not as "smooth" of a driver as I would be if I had a baby in the back.
I also have some pretty cool news. I am officially a graphic designer for OUTDOORSMAN.com. I have done stuff for Andrew before just so I could expand my portfolio, but they have offered to hire me and I do it part-time after work. This makes me feel a lot better about going to all the effort to learning the programs and investing in all of the computer stuff.
This is a sample of my first project that I emailed in. They had me re-create their logo and then make 2 similar ones to match their other two websites. It isn't really all that impressive, but I am having fun with it!
I also got promoted (kinda by default) at work. I am now typing policies and doing recordings. Essentially I am busy all day long, whereas before I was bored all day long. Hence the lack in blogging time. And yes, I have my 1 year interview in September, and I will be asking for a raise. I do like my new position, but I admit it has triggered my Anxiety a little bit lately and I have to spend a little time trying to calm myself down. I think it will mellow out, but I hate being tense all the time while I wait.
The only other news that we think is really cool is our garden, we have actually had multiple salads with our lettuce and a cucumber. No tomatoes yet, which I think we must be doing something wrong, but we have promise of other vegetables coming soon! Oh, and if anyone wants a pumpkin this fall, I am pretty sure we are going to be swimming in them.

To any of my Spanish Fork class of 2002 friends (I think there are only like 2 of you..and one already knows) There is a Spanish Fork blog now and they will add you to the list if you would like, but I think they will only add you if you request to be added, so if you go to that link, just post your blog on their thing and you can enjoy having contact with a lot of old friends

Kenny's Birthday
to turn off the music on my previous post, run your cursor over the SLIDE box in the upper left corner and it will pop out a volume button and you can just click it off.
Happy Birthday Kenny
We threw Kenny a surprise party and he had no idea, Richie and Jon took him on a quick bike ride while we had a few friends come over and blew up balloons (thanks to Gavin, Allison, Beaner, Andrew and Lu) Put up some decor made some cake and cleaned up dinner. We did pretty good work for the limited time we had, it was all worth it.
PS Kenny at the beginning says "double time" which is why we sped up the song.
