Surprise, Surprise

As some of you know, I love to surprise people. I usually surprise them with myself (I don't know if that is egocentric or not...hmmm). Anyway, I've been staying close to home and sending out my resume to every government agency and any job that I can qualify for. It was nice the first week, but know I'm starving for outside interaction. Anyway, My brother has a concert at theY this weekend and I have decided to go. I needed a place to stay naturally and so I thought Aimee would be so kind. And since we have tickets next week for conference, why not volunteer in her class room for a week. It is human interaction (little human interaction). Anyway, I am excited and I think Aimz is to. I love surprises.

Simple moments

I love simplicity in my life. Just reading posts about the exciting lives of my friends brings incredible happiness. Another thing that brought joy while I have been posting was the glorious fragrance of rain and I thought, life is really good. It seems like it is the simple moments that I love the most. I am looking for jobs right now and that can be frustrating and complicated at times. It's nice to be reminded the life really is made up of beautiful instances that make all the frustration worth it. Hopefully, my single adventure will move on to a little more productive times, but I hope that I will always have simple moments.

John's First Date

John would kill me if he knew I was going to post pictures of his first date. Lucky for me, he'll never know (evil Ha Ha Ha). He didn't really want to have any pictures taken, but I think McKenzie talked him into it (lucky for mom). He had a great time and went with a really fun and pretty girl. He even told me after ward that I would be proud of him, because he opened the doors and told her she was pretty multiple times. And Yes I am very proud. My "little" brothers turning into a little gentleman, who would have thought.

Homemade Peach Ice Cream!!!

One of my favorite things about summer and family is the homemade ice cream that usually accompanies the occasions (oh and ice cream on pancakes). Unfortunately, this summer I was never around at the times that it was made. Well, Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came down to help with the shed and bring us ... da da da DA ... Peaches!!! Lots of them, which made me very, VERY Happy. And Mom said that we were going to make Peach Ice Cream. I love it when family comes, there are so many perks. Anyway, I loved eating it and ate too much.

Macgyver and Lace

This past weekend mom and I went up to Provo in search of some interview clothing. It was sooo much fun. Aimee came on our shopping spree, which added to the great company. As some maybe wondering what MacGyver (or the picture) has to with any of the events of this weekend, I have a story for you.

Well before Aimee arrived at the University Mall, Mom and I rolled down our windows ( this is important to the story) to cool off and wait (I neglected to remember that my window doesn't come up all the way when it is rolled down). Anyway, Aimee drives up and parks and we start to get our stuff out of the car. While mom is getting her stuff together, Aimee and I attempt to get the window back up and get it most of the way and close the door. Mom opens the trunk and she sets her purse on the back seat. Well, the doors were locked and the back door swung shut, leaving us, yes, locked out of our car. After a brief moment of anger, we set out to be our own version of Macgyver. I, unfortunately left my Swiss army knife and duct tape at home, but luckily Aimee brought Burt (her car). And so, a slightly down window, medical tape, a plastic knife, fork, and spoon, two pens, a metal spoon, a rope, and fifteen minutes later the door came open. It wasn't as smoothly done as MacGyver but we took what we could get. After that the day went on in the normal shopping day would go. We went to Kohl's and got some really nice stuff. I'll have to share pictures sometime.

Football, Cowgirls, and Indians

Hello Everyone,
It's been a great couple of weeks. Labor day weekend was great (and considering that it was almost two weeks ago) I should let you in on the fun. Aimee came down to visit that weekend and brought most of the fun with her. We started off the weekend at Johns football game (which he won 34 to 0). Just a side note, it was really fun to be in a place where yelling was acceptable and even encouraged. We kept with the American traditions going with a horse ride on Saturday. Aimee looked like a real pro with her city cowgirl hat, she even got Chester to gallop. (she has the video, so you all will have to get her to put it on her blog). On Monday, we went to the Fremont Indian Museum. It was really neat, my grandpa even took us on a tour telling us all the history (or "lies" as my grandma calls it) of the place. Here's some pics, enjoy them.

Relaxing after the game, Aimee and mom are enjoying the quiet moment.
