Up Up and Away






Monday night I received a call from Corbett inviting me on a night flight in the Great Park balloon. I jumped at the opportunity to see the first unveiling of the park and take a ride in the balloon. The balloon can reach up to 500 feet but Monday night we had some heavy winds and the balloon was stopped at 330 feet up. I was wishing I had a better camera to capture the spectrum and the park below. If anyone need information on how to take a ride I am happy to give direction and pass information along on the hours the balloon flies. My week is off to a great start!

New Glasses

I finally received my rebate check from the IRS and decided I was due for some new classes. The funny thing about glasses is I almost don't look like my self especially with bangs. I turned to a friend tonight at institute and asked if I looked different and her reply was that I really did look like a new person. It will be nice to finally have an option in the morning when my contacts just don't want to go in or I am running late.

31 Years Ago

My parents were sealed for time and all eternity June 28th, 1977 in the Utah Ogden Temple. I am extremely grateful and so blessed to have them as my parents. I honor and love them so dearly for raising me and being my example to turn to!

Three Years Ago


My dear friend took some photos of me three years ago that I have come to really appreciate. Every time they come across my screen saver I start to miss my long hair. That is all I really wanted to blog about tonight.

Making Changes

After my New York trip I decided that my clothes were fitting a little tight and wanted to get ready for that summer body. I decided on April 1st to lose weight and was working towards the date of June 21st. I told my future sister in law to order me a size 2 bridesmaid dress. I knew that I would have to squeeze into that dress unless I could drop a few pounds. I started small by trying to cut back on my diet coke drinking and was somewhat successful. I was given some great advice and am still working and drinking less. I must admit this has not been an easy battle but is worth the weight I can lose from cutting back. The good news is that from April 1st I am down 4 pounds. I am off to Portland for the wedding and am really excited to be a part of the bridal party.
