If only we would have known.

Last night, I came home from work and Mike and I were watching the news. They were doing a story on how all the FLDS people were protesting in front of the Matheson court house about some land dispute. There were hundreds of them....everywhere. We started discussing the possibilities of us heading down to hang out with that crowd. I can already see it. The big poof, no makeup, the homely dress, I think I would probably fit right in. Can you imagine us hob-nobbin' with all the peeps? Conversations would be classic. My only concern is that they all seemed to know each other. Mike just said we could say we were new. If this little debate continues, you better believe we will be down there creepin around.

Oops!

So last night, I went to get a shake with my parents at Hires. I may or may not have said this to the waitress when she took our order.

"Can you please shit that for us?"

Shit, split. Same thing.

J to the ackson

So this picture pretty much sums up our vaca to Jackson last weekend. It was full of good friends, good laughs and good times. We stayed in Colter Bay in what they call "tent cabins". This is basically high-end camping for those who are too high maintenance to seriously rough it. My response to this was "yes, please." I would camp all the time if my tent was already set up, access to hot water is plentiful, and I can turn a light on in my tent.

Mike was our host and we totally doubled his work load by being there. I'm pretty sure on about hour 2, he was questioning the invitation.

Not only did he heat our tent at night but he was consistently bringing over left over scraps from his family's meals. All we brought was crap so it was nice to get something healthy every once in a while.

On Friday night, he was nice enough to take us skiing. Once again, taking five girls on the boat when you are the only one who knows how to operate it is a task. He gave me a quick lesson in driving so that he was able to ski on the glassy glass too.




On Saturday, we decided to rent one of those motor boats that has a top speed of about 7mph. We thought we would take it out, catch some rays, and do a little swimming. What we didn't realize was how difficult it would be to get back in the boat. She may kill me but this was too funny not to post.





No, we didn't bring our parapalegic friend, Jess was just desperate to tan the back of her legs.

After our two hours of fun, we took the boat back. As we pulled up, this old man approached us and asked why we weren't wearing our life jackets. I didn't know that we had to wear them the whole time so he proceeded to yell at us, asked if we thought it was funny, and told us next time he was calling the cops. I would like to see what a cop what have done....please.

That night, after an awesome rain storm, we had a fire and roasted things.



It was a blast, as it always is with these fun gals! I'm so glad that my friends are as random as I am and are always up for a good road trip!


Until next weekend...

What??

So, I broke up with this guy about nine months ago. It sucked and I had a really hard time getting over it. I am not kidding when I say that pretty much every weekend since we broke up, his brother has asked me out. Not only do I think that is shady and weird but does he honestly think we are going to date?? In the beginning, I kept telling him that I thought it was weird and that it would be too hard.

Now, nine months later, my excuses are running out. He called me earlier this week and said he was going to be in SL and wanted to get together. I decided that I would go to dinner so that he might stop calling me. Not that I don't think he's great, cause I do but it just seemed pretty pointless to me. He's a funny guy but definitely beats to his own drum. It was good to see him and we had some good laughs but the best part of dinner was when he said, and I quote,

"You're weird, but in a good way".

What? I'm not even sure what that means.
I think I fake laughed and said that I had to bounce.

Good thing I don't take offense easily. It's safe to assume that we won't be going out again anytime soon.

Palm Springs continued....

We took a ton of pictures while we were there so I'll just post the best ones. Elissa was nice enough to let us stay at her place in Palm Springs and it was such a fun girls trip! It doesn't get much better than lounging at the pool everyday all day. Here are some of the highlights.




We found this creepy sleeping bag and Jessie tried to come in our room one night while we were dead asleep. It didn't phase Kelli and I, and Elissa is so out of it when she sleeps that she had no idea what was going on.


Have you ever seen those funny stores that sell all kinds of animals on t-shirts? They are totally creepy but we couldn't pass up the "wuff" tshirts. And I'm pretty sure we convinced the old guy that sold them to us that wolves is actually pronounced as wuffs. Poor guy wasn't sure if we were serious or not!



Every night we would go for a walk to try and walk off all the crap we ate and one night we decided to have a speed walking competition. I had no idea that the gals with short legs would kill me. We had to take a winner and loser picture.


We decided before we got there that we would all bring pictures of our ex-boyfriends and play this funny game. We covered ourselves and everyone had to guess who dated who. It was such great entertainment and very insightful too!

It was such a fun trip with such fun girls! Can't wait for the next one!

It's all about the networking.

We decided a few weeks ago to throw a bbq. We figured that between the 9 of us, we all had to know differemnt people that we don't normally hang out with. Even though there were way more guys than girls, it ended up being a blast. There is nothing better than spending a summer night up the canyon.

this was a good night..

I am completely aware that I haven't blogged in a coon's age but in my defense, I never have my camera and I just got all the pics from the gals...

A few weeks back, Kelli, Missy and I headed to Bear Lake for the weekend. There was a party that we heard about on the way up so we decided to stop by. We were pretty sure that this was the kind of party where we weren't going to meet any potentials so we made a stop at the Flying J in Logan and found some little monkies. We decided that if any one of us threw our monkies in the bushes, it meant we were talking to someone worth talking to. Let's just say, these little guys stayed on our backs the whole night. I'm sure people thought we were so weird but I will say that these little guys were great conversation starters...




Our friend Nate swore that he talked to way more girls with this bad boy on his back..

On to Bear Lake!

Kelli's cabin is famous for the Bear Lake monster. This is a relay that we create out of stuff around the house. This one did not disappoint. Between the crab walks, speedwalking, and filling that #@*! bucket with sand, this timed event was a hit.




And last but not least, what would Bear Lake be without some lottery tickets from the gas station and some poker. It's a good thing that we don't live closer to Vegas because we pretty much blew a ton a cash on those little lottery games. And all because Missy won $40 bucks. Lucky gal!






Thanks the the Dunkleys for letting Missy and I crash your family vacation!

Can't wait

So for a few months, Kelli and I have wanted to get some beach cruisers. Yes, we are aware that we don't live by the beach, but we do live by several convenient stores and it happens to be slurpee season. We just want to ride to "Sev" for a refreshing treat a few times a week. We've been looking for a good month and haven't been able to find what we like. We decided to turn to the internet. What better place to find them than in Cali, the home of the beach cruiser. Since we don't have husbands, we recruited our dads to assemble these bad boys once they arrive. Kelli got baby blue and I ordered mine in orange. Much to my dismay, I received an email yesterday telling me that they were out of orange! What?? Orange is the greatest summer color of all time, possibly the reason why they are out. It would have matched perfectly with the baby blue, which is crucial cause we will ALWAYS be riding them together. They sent me some new color choices but nothing tickled my fancy like the orange one did. I frantically responded asking them how long it would be til they got more in. This little email arrived this morning!

Hi Allison,

We will get the orange in stock tomorrow. I will process your order accordingly and ship it tomorrow. If you have further question, please feel free to let me know.
