Thanks For Your Patience

Wow! How is it possibly that I could get so behind on my blogging? Sorry to leave ya hangin' guys! That's what I mean by thanks for your patience...you waited so long! :) You haven't missed much LOL. Where to start? Monday is my birthday...YEAH!!! I can't believe I am going to be 25! I remember thinking in high school that I couldn't believe I was in high school and now I am graduating college for the second time! I think this one is kinda hard for me because that means I am only 5 years away from 30. I don't even want to think about turning 30. Well, on my birthday I am going to go see Fall Out Boy with Sandee!!! I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!! I love FOB! The only time I saw them was in the E Center and now they are going to be performing at Saltair. I love the smaller venues better because the band gets into performing more. I think it's because they can see the crowd and perform to the whole crowd and not just those in GA. I will post about how much fun I had and the amazing pictures I take :)

Speaking of pictures...I bought a new camera! Early bday present to myself :) It is a Canon Coolpix and it's red :) I love it! I am so glad I bought that one. I wonder how good the video is on it...hmmm we shall find out soon! My last camera took crappy videos. You didn't get the sound, just static. So my bday is going to be eventful! I have work, then school, then the concert, and I get to use my camera at the concert. Eventful!

In a few weeks I will be graduating and going through the temple. May 1 I graduate and May 2 I get my endowments out. I am going to the Bountiful temple at 8:30AM. Early I know. I have to be there at 7AM! It's my own fault though. I wanted to schedule it early enough so I didn't have to deal with all the brides and their families. I wanted to be able to take pictures without waiting around. Plus I don't want to see all the brides and remind myself that I am not married LOL....one day :) And no dad I still don't want to try one of those internet dating websites! Wait until I am least graduated and into my career :)

I guess I could tell ya that I was one of those crazy people who waited outside til midnight to buy Twilight. I wasn't going to, but I started thinking about it and thought it would be fun. I called Sandee and she was thinking the same thing, so we both thought we would be dorks (not like we aren't already LOL). Anyway, so we started walking to Walmart, considering we live right behind it, and I saw Lindsey, the girl who cuts my hair. She was there by herself! So, I knew then that there was a reason I needed to go :) She said that she actually had been praying that I would show up since she knew I lived right behind Walmart. It's funny because we actually never had talked about Twilight before, so we didn't know each other read the books and liked the movie. I'm glad I went because it was fun...even though Walmart did jack! The Clinton Walmart did a bunch of stuff, but Layton did nothing! My sister went to the Clinton one and that's how I knew. Oh well :)

So, I am not a big reader, but Sandee got me Twilight for Christmas and I started reading it to see what all the hype was about. Plus I would feel bad if I didn't read it. It took me a few months to read it because I was so busy with school, reading books on the temple, reading my scriptures, and just life in general. Well, I finally finished it and thought I would get started on the second one that would take me awhile to read...yeah right! I finished it in 2 days! I think it took me awhile with the first one because I saw the movie so I knew what happened, but with the second one I didn't know. I wanted to know when Edward would come back so I kept reading! Then of course I had to find out what happened in the other books so I started reading those. Those took me a bit longer. I think it took a week to read one and a week to read the other. So, now I have finished the Twilight series! I started reading Midnight Sun on Stephenie's website, but I haven't gotten far. Maybe I should find another book to read. But it has to be something that will grab my attention like Twilight did. I'm just not a big reader....for the moment :)

I think there is one more thing I need to blog about. I started at the beginning of February going to Weight Watchers with my mom. I lost 6lbs in the first week, but that's the most I lost in one week. I have now lost a total of 16lbs. It seems like the last couple of weeks I have only lost like .2lbs here, .6lbs there. I don't know what the problem is. I do everything I am suppose to do. All I need to do is look 3 more lbs and I will have lost 20lbs. I guess I just need to try harder. It really isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I can eat anything, I just have to count the points. I get 27 points a day, plus an extra 35 that I could use throughout the week (I hardly ever use those points, only when I want a treat) and then I get extra points for exercising. I usually earn 2 extra points for each time I workout. I try to do 3 days a week, so I get 6 extra point, which I hardly ever use. I will try to post pictures. I didn't take one when I started, so you won't see a beginning picture, but each time I loose 5 or 10lbs I will post pictures :)

Well I think that is about it. I will try my hardest not to wait so long to post. Especially now that school has calmed down and I will be done in a few weeks. ADIOS! :)

Wow Heather! Sounds like you have been really busy. I hope you have a happy birthday and fun at FOB. It's crazy how addicting The Twilight Series is. It's wonderful that This generation of girls are reading more :)!

Happy Birthday on Manday. My 25 b-day was really hard for me too. I am so excited for you to get to go through the Teample it is such an amazing experience. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to try to enjoy it and not worry about trying to remember everything.
