Parent's Weekend

Last weekend my parents were in town. I was finally able to take a couple of days of, something I haven't done since Christmas, to spend some time with them. We spent most of it working on my condo. My mom and I got my kitchen all squared away, now if I can just get the rest of my place in order I'd be great! It's so sad that I still have boxes after almost 3 months, but oh well.

I also went shooting with my dad at a gun range near my condo. We had a lot of fun. The 40 caliber gun was a challange to shoot. It had quite a kick! My poor hands were all torn up after we were done, I guess I'll have to get some gloves or something. I already know what I'm getting for Christmas, a 380 and a 22 handgun. I may have to get a membership at that gun range, but I think it will be worth it (a little stress relief after work!).

My mom and I went with Candy and Tom to the Desert Star Theater. We saw Scary Poppins and it was hilarious! If you want to have a good night out, go see this!! So all and all it was a great weekend.

More Pics!

More detailed pictures of my condo!

Ok, I have found a condo that I really like! After a couple of let downs and outbids, I have finally found my condo! I just accepted their counter offer, so hopefully (fingers crossed) nothing goes wrong this time! It is a two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath condo approximately 920 sq feet with a HUGE walk-in closet. It is in Murray and an end unit on the top floor, which I hope equals less noise! Wish me luck that this all goes as planned and nothing gets screwed up in the end!

Mormon Miracle Pageant

Yesterday I went with some of the branch members to Manti to watch the Mormon Miracle Pageant. First, we went up to Maple Canyon (near Fountain Green, UT) to have a dutch oven dinner. We went hiking a little bit and hung around til it was time to go watch the pageant. There were sooooo many people there to watch the pageant, it was crazy! And of course there were the ever present protestors outside the gates. They like to show up everywhere and try to ruin the spirit of things. The pageant was ok, it was kind of funny to watch the actor's hand gestures because they didn't match the recording of what they were supposed to be saying. I thought the actors would be speaking the dialogue, but it was just a recording blasted from the speakers. In one scene, they actually had a guy dressed up like the Angel Moroni standing on top of the temple! Talk about scary! He sure was up pretty high! The pageant lasted two hours, and boy were those seats hard! I had a hard time paying attention because I was so uncomfortable! Plus, we didn't get home until about 2 a.m. since Manti is two hours away! I was pretty tired by the time we got home, but it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I went.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

Tonight I went with some friends to watch the Salt Lake Bees. We had a lot of fun, except the Bees lost 17-4...yikes! It wasn't a very entertaining game to watch, especially when they let the other team score 9 runs in one inning. Sheesh! We were also sitting next to a really obnoxious fan, I really wished they could've thrown him out of the game. But we still had fun and the fireworks after the game were awesome. There was a little kid sitting in front of us and his dad told him if he finished his HUGE bag of popcorn he would get $10. So what did the kid do? He kept feeding us his popcorn, of course! We took tons of pictures, so when they are emailed to me I will post them.

And the search is on....

So I have decided to buy myself a condo! I figure it is finally time to buy my own place instead of throwing away money every month on rent. It is such an exciting and scary thing to go through. I have been looking at condos all over the place during the past week and let me tell you that there are some ugly ones out there!! It's a good thing I have plently of time to search for my perfect place. I'll keep you all updated on my hunt and you guys are all invited over once I find a place!
