I can't really always write on here, because hearing this everyday:

I baked today. It was long, and not very fun. Then I hung out with Troy.

I baked today. It was long, and not very fun. Then I hung out with Troy.

I baked today...blah....blah....blah.... because, that literally has become my entire life. Not that I am complaining, because I'm A)very grateful for the job and money B)glad I'm not doing school stuff right now and C)really happy for the time at home, and with Troy. So, no, I am not complaining. I have just been simply saving you all boring post after boring post of my very routine life.

There was a little adventure this past weekend however. It was the Yager Family Reunion. Because my grandparents were celebrating their 50th (wedding anniversary for those that were confused) we made a big reunion out of it. All of the family stayed at Carol's (except the select few who couldn't handle the chaos. :] ) and we had a weekend of fun. Troy came along, and it all went surprisingly well. The family seemed to like him, and he wasn't too awkward. :] Haha just kidding, it went well and I think we both had fun. Even if it was CHAOS it was fun. By Sunday, night we were exhausted, and glad for the break.

Over the weekend, on the twelfth to be exact, two things happened.

1-It was mine and Troy's 6 month mark. Not 50 years, but hey, 1/100 of that is worth celebrating. :]

2- It was the Brazilian Valentine's day. (Dia dos Namorados actually......and I really hope that's right.) It roughly means day of the girlfriend/boyfriend.

So, in honor of these two lovely celebrations, Troy got me a really pretty picture of a tree and a fence with a scripture on the bottom. It doesn't sound so pretty when I describe it on here, but it is and I love it. :]

That was our weekend of fun. I was glad to be off work, and I'm sure Troy was as well. This weekend, he gets a couple of days off so that will be good. We are going to try to cram what we can in, while we have the time. :] It's funny that we are happy to have days of doing errands, and mundane things like laundry. But when you have the time, it's really nice. :]

I actually have something new I did to post here. :]

This weekend we went to Vegas with Troy's family.

It was actually very fun. :] We drove down with Kyle (his brother) and Courtney (Kyle's girlfriend) late Saturday after we got off work. We made really good time, and had fun driving with them. Kyle taught us this game, Who am I?, where everyone knows who you are but you do not. So the whole object of the game is to ask yes/no questions to find out who you are. The first one to figure out who they are, wins. I got to be Queen Victoria, Al Capone, Niel Armstrong, and Mia Hamm. It was really fun. We also played a word game. But that one is a little difficult to explain, but it was fun as well. :] We got to Chad and Lindsay's house and just hung out for a little while, chatted with everyone there. Becky, Craig, Courtney and me all were staying at a hotel down the road, so then Kyle and Troy drove us there. It was fun being able to just hang out and not really have to worry about doing anything. Me and Courtney were up until like two in the morning, just chatting away. It was good. :] The next morning we got up bright and early, got ready and went back over to Chad's. Again, we just hung out and let everyone spend time together.

Becky brought some Tollhouse frozen cookie dough, and while she was occupied with the baby, Courtney decided to cook them for her. It turned into a team effort between the two of us, and we were laughing pretty hard. I was afraid I was going to mess them up, and everyone would question my occupation, and that I actually get paid to make cookies. It was funny. Jay and Rex (Troy's nephews) warmed up to me quicker and better this trip. They are both so different, but so funny. It was fun to watch them hang out with the family they never get to see, and see everyone laugh and play with them. We went to Eli's blessing which was very good, and then ate at Chad's after. Also, very good. :] It was fast Sunday, and I was dying by the time we ate. But it was all very good and worth the wait. It was so hot there though! Walking to the car after Church was like a Sauna. It was awful. And, it's only June! I will definitely never live in Vegas. That is for sure. It was fun to be able to hang out with Troy's family, and meet siblings that I had not yet. I only have one more to go, so we will see. :] This next weekend is the Reunion for my side, and Troy is bravely coming along. We will see how this all goes....pray for him. :]

Apparently Mother Nature was waiting until June to grace us with warm-ish weather.

Hopefully it decides to stick around for a while.

The last few weeks have been uneventful, but full of stuff.

I have begun baking at the Fort Union store Full-Time, and I hate it. Haha okay, so it's getting better, but I'm not very good at frosting those stupid flowers so it has become a very large frustration in my life. Hopefully, I'll figure it out quickly. :]

Mine and Troy's works schedules are not very fun. He works until seven, I work long days, and we both are too tired to do anything fun. It kind of sucks. But we're working on it.

Ready for the best news ever? I'm going to Logan this weekend!! :] I'm going to stay with Parker. It's going to be really great, I'm very excited for it. It is VERY NEEDED. Troy is going to Vegas with his family, so I jumped at the opportunity to go up there. I leave tomorrow night after work. :] Yay. I'm going to be bringing Parker lot's of food. She needs it. :]

We got to hang out with Logan last weekend, which is always a pleasure. We went bowling with Melissa on Saturday night, and then played croquet (which I totally suck at) on Sunday. It was a pretty good time. Even though Logan relentlessly mocks me, I still appreciate his visits.

Pony Express Days are in town, and on Memorial Day my family invited me and Troy to the rodeo. Melissa came along too, because she loves rodeos, and I just couldn't let her miss out. It was really fun. I got to wear my boots, and get all cowboy again. :] I love it. It was really fun, and after we went to my house and ate burgers and hung out. We tried to have a fire, but it was way too windy so we sat in my front room and played games. Being at my house is so much crazier than playing games at Butterfield's. That is for sure! But it was good.

Melissa leaves for Africa in less than a week! She is going for 3 weeks to do service in an Orphanage. She is super excited/nervous. I'm excited for her! I could never do something like that, so I admire that she is!

Tori Creighton (from Smart Cookie) left for BYU Hawaii yesterday, and I won't see her until December! It's weird not being able to work with her, or call her to go country dancing. I'm going to miss her a lot.

I'm so jealous of all these people doing all this cool stuff. I'm stuck here, in the same cookie job, doing nothing. Oh well. I'm earning a lot of money which is good. But it's boring. I'll just have to make the rest of my life very interesting. :]

May 25 2010

Real quick update. :]
There really isn't very much to update on though.
I have officially started as a baker at Smart Cookie. Which is nice, because now my hours match Troy's, and I get paid a lot more. We are both big fans of both of those things. He started working for my dad last week, and has been doing really well. I think. :] He's learning some new words that's for sure, and got a nice tan going. He works thirteen hour days, which is long and not fun, but it's only for the summer and it's going to pay off. Literally.

We spent this Sunday in St. George, because Troy's cousin Eric came home from his mission and was speaking in Church. Although it was a lot of car time, and I almost lost it, it was a really good weekend. I got to meet a lot of his family, including his older brother Chad and his wife Lindsay and three little boys. They were not a fan of me at first, but they warmed up to me as the day went on. Mostly, they were my friends when I showed them Troy's weak tickle spots, and helped them get him good. :]

I'm having a rough time with Parker being in Logan. I don't really like it at all. I wish that she were down here with me still, and we could hang out whenever we wanted. But it is good for her to be up there. I just miss her a lot. :/ She really is my best friend. When we get old, we are going to still be best friends. Despite what Kris says. :]

Happy TWO YEARS at Smart Cookie. Wow. We have had some good times.......

The Bridal Show me and Kayla worked. Good time.

Baking in our Country-Dancing get up. That's how the BakingDuo does it. :]

This was our last days. I made us awesome aprons. :]

The Nasty Spider Micah and me caught and froze. Then it survived.

May 16 2010

While begin home is nice, and I'm loving it, it is slightly uneventful.

My days consist of work, Troy, and being home sometimes.

I have had some pretty interesting things happen, and I'll let you know about those. :]

Super stressed about my grades when school ended, being home didn't help at all. It was all I could think about. I knew there was nothing more I could do, but just wait for them to be posted. I checked every day, multiple times. Finally, the results are in.

I totally made the cut, and I'm keeping my scholarship! It was a little close, but I managed to pull of an A in every other class except Biology. (Human Development I got an A-, but it's still an A in my book. :] )

Troy got a job working with my dad, so he finished the week up at the farm and starts at Hadco on Tuesday. It's going to be rough work, but oh well I guess.

I'm doing full time at Smart Cookie. Boring. He wants me to bake full time, so we will see. I don't know about this plan.

I hate that Parker is in Logan and I'm not. I miss having her around. :/ We will be together soon enough though I guess. It's just lonely with only Troy to keep me company. Haha. :]

We went and saw Robin Hood last night, and despite hearing that it got horrible reviews, I loved it! I thought it was way good. I would watch it again no problem, and I don't even really like Robin Hood.

The missionaries got a hold of Maddison, and they said that she accepted the DVD. She called me the other day while I was working, and I have yet to call her back. I'm such a slacker at catching back up with people! It's horrible!

I'm glad that the weather is good now, hopefully it stays this way! I want to get the boat out on the lake, and a tan going. :]

May 10 2010

I'm doing alright at writing here, so that's good enough for me.

This past weekend we did some pretty fun things.

Sunday was Mother's Day, and that was good. We went to Church, and all of us wore our flowers my dad bought. After church I hung out at home, until dinner. We had steak and crab legs. It was so funny. Everyone was laughing like the whole time, and it was very fun. The food was good too. After dinner I went over to the Butterfield's and we watched Amazing Race. The brothers won. Which I was okay with, I just really wanted the Cowboys to win. Oh well. Then we watched the second Apple Dumpling Gang movie. It was funny. :] It was another one of those good nights.

Me and Troy and Parker met up with some people from Logan at the SLC Temple Saturday night. We walked around the Visitor's Center for a while, because the boys were doing a session. It was really good. We met some sister missionaries, and they asked me to fill out a card with someone I knew who wasn't a member, and they would send them something. I thought of Maddison, and even though she would probably not like it very much, I did it anyway. I got a call from the missionary today, and she said she spoke to Maddison, and she is accepting the DVD I choose to send her. That's good at least. I miss that girl.

Following our adventures at the Temple, me, Troy, Kris, and Parker went and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. It was late, but it was good.

Saturday during the day, we cleaned up at the Page's side. We were helping Grandma and Grandpa de-clutter their house, even though I don't think Grandma really enjoyed it that much. :] But it worked out, and it was a lot of fun. They have so much cool stuff, especially from Grandpa Jones and Grandma Annie. I loved it. :]

Saturday morning was the Nerdtacular, and I went with Parker. It was great! I loved Iron Man 2. :] Big fan! We didn't stay very long, because we were headed straight up to Bountiful after, but it was way cool to see the movie and the Johnson's.

Today, Monday, me and Troy took a little adventure. We had to go to Tooele to get the meat from the Lambert's for my dad. It was quite the task. We had to pack all the coolers in my mom's car, pick up a whole bunch of money (I had never had that much cash in my hand before. :] ) and drive out to Tooele. We missed our exit. And let me tell you, when you miss that exit, it's not exactly as easy as just taking the next one and getting back on the freeway. We had to go like ten miles in the middle of nowhere to the Grantsville exit or something. It was a pain, but I wasn't paying attention so I take all the blame. There was a lot of meat. But we got it all, and then headed back home.

I worked tonight and that was lame. But I actually enjoy working the counter in Fort Union more than AF, because it's slower. :] Less customers.
