Who you may ask?

Allison and I have been best friends since for almost sixteen years now!

Allison is fabulous. She has always been there for me no matter what. We've been through so much together. I miss you like crazy girl. I hope you have an amazing birthday! I love you!

Wednesday!

Everytime I've gone to the gym the past week every cardio machine has been in use! So most days I was like oh I guess that means I can't work out... and then I didn't. So bad! Again when I went the tiny gym was packed! So I finally decided I would run outside. It really amazes me how quickly you can get out of shape. I only ran two miles this morning, but I was so tired when I finished. It doesn't help that the heat index was 108. But that's besides the point. I'm make a new commitment to run at least five days a week. I am currently registered to run a half marathon in August and a full in September, so I need to get back into the swing of things.

I had yesterday off which was a great break. I didn't do anything super big, but it was nice to relax. I went to Walmart, which was totally needed. I had like a potato and some carrots left. Pretty much nothing. Since I hadn't been in so long I had to buy so much! I spent over $180. But I'm hoping that will hold me over until my parents come visit :] It's such a pain here to go shopping because you have to take a bus! But I bought so much that I couldn't take the bus home, luckily my roommate with a car came and picked me up! We hung out most of the day and I cleaned our apartment (it needed it...)

I have today off too! It's great! I'm going to go to the pool soon and read the book I'm reading right now.

I'm not really far enough into it to totally recommend it, but I really like it so far. One of the authors, Greg Mortenson, came to BYU this past semester and spoke. He was a great speaker. I love summertime when you can read books for fun!

Laura was transferred to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique because stock was hurting her knee. I'm quite jealous of her job! She gets to the do the cute girls hair and talk about how Cinderella asked her to come work for her! So cute! She's actually been sick for the past week but she's feeling better. She's leaving town tomorrow for five days! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself! Haha kidding.

I've just been working and going to the parks. It's really fun to have unlimited fun at the fun! I'm starting to get to know where things are.

Me, Bekka, and Clint in front of the Sorcerer's Hat at Hollywood Studios!


haha so fun to see characters! Pooh and Tigger!

Me and Bekka in front of the tree at Animal Kingdom!

Jessi, Me and Mike in front of Mount Everest at Animal Kingdom. Expedition Everest is great. Just great. haha.
In the very front row is Eric, Laura and Me on Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom. On really busy nights they will squeeze three people to a row. It was tight...
Star Wars weekends in Hollywood Studios!
Sarah, Laura and I at the Indiana Jones show in Hollywood Studios! It's been a fun month. I still miss Texas though... My parent are coming to visit July 6th though! They'll be here for my mom's birthday! I'm trying to decide what we should do to celebrate!

why i am so bad at blogging.

Umm. I'm not sure if there is even a real answer to that question. haha.

Seriously. I cannot believe my time here in Florida is already half-way over. It is seriously insane! It's already June 21st. So crazy! But it's good. The first month that I was here in Orlando I was having trouble adjusting. I thought that everything was just going to be super fun, but it was harder than I expected. I was working all the time and had trouble finding friends that had the same standards as I did. I was really homesick and wanted to come home really bad, but I am so glad that I didn't. This past month has been what I came here for. I have made some awesome friends and am liking work for the most part. It's so fun to just go to the parks whenever you want. It's nice to be able to go and not feel obligated to stay the whole day, just a couple of hours here and there. It is really hot here. Like really hot. My body is going through whiplash, Houston, Provo, Orlando, Provo. Haha. We also have thunderstorms like all the time here. It's so great being a lifeguard.... we close pretty much everyday; But I have to act like it is the most horrible thing ever.. haha.

It's been a filled weekend, Saturday was my sister, Kelli's Birthday! So exciting! I'm so sad that I wasn't in Utah to celebrate with her! I decided that when I get back in August we are going to go to a Birthday dinner :]

Saturday was also my cousin, David's Birthday. He turned nineteen! On Saturday he went through the temple and was set apart as a missionary for our church. On Wednesday he will enter the Missionary Training Center and be gone for 2 years serving the people of Sacramento, California. I am so excited for him. It's going to be a great experience!

Yesterday was Father's Day as most people know... and I just wanted to send a shout out to my awesome Dad even though I don't think he reads this... But anyways! I have an awesome Dad. He is one of the nicest people I know. I honestly can't remember a time where he ever got angry with me or raised his voice at me. He does so much for our family and I love him so much! Happy Father's Day!

Expect updates with some awesome pictures coming soon! I miss everyone!
