Birthday in Prison
My birthday yesterday was great! Jeff made dinner for some friends and I, Jill made me a cake, and Eliz gave me a new Stapler ( sweet!!!)! It was a great day all around with phone calls from home and sweet poem from mom.
However...
The most unique part of my birthday was today when someone found out that my birthday was yesterday and got a big group of inmates to sing me Happy Birthday. Wow, i think I'll always remember the year when I was sung to in Prison. Oh, how I am blessed! And to think that i didn't feel like getting up and coming to prison this morning. What was i thinking!?

The Valley of the Sun- Arizona 2009
This last week I went down to Arizona to play with Jeff and his family. We had a blast!
(disclaimer... Jeff wrote the captions)
Look dad! I'm now a real cowgirl.Horseback riding in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona at Jeff's grandpa's cabin.
Watch out ya'll. I now know how to use a shotgun.(I already knew how but I wanted to pretend I didn't so Jeff would put his arms around me)
Major League baseball game in Phoenix.
I am now a true Arizona sports fan. Go D-Backs and for all you all in Portland, GO SUNS!!!
Kayaking the Salt River in the Phoenix valley. Arizona has the most beautiful desert landscape. (You'll have to ask about my cactus story)
Picture speaks for itself. Yeah, Jeff is the luckiest guy in the world!
Off-roading in Jeff's uncle's Bronco.(Sorry, no cute caption. And no, don't worry, I did not drive)
AND THE BIGGEST NEWS...
WE'RE NOW ENGAGED!!!
This last Monday night, after we had already gotten back to Provo, Jeff took me hiking on top of the mountain in Provo Canyon and Jeff got to one knee and asked me marry him.
Yeah, The best week ever!

changes
so, lately I've been feeling really overbooked, but didn't really know how to simplify things in my life as I've really loved the different things I've been involved in. Anyway, the economy seems to out of control lately and yesterday a bunch of positions at my work were eliminated, including mine. They let me know that as soon as the number of kids at the treatment center raises again, I'm the first that they'll hire back, so that was nice to hear, but for now i think I'm going to take this as a much needed break and and try and play... i mean study... a little more. Luckily, I had two jobs. yep.

25 random things... i give in...
25 Random things
1. I have traveled to more countries than states.
2. I get really frustrated with fashion, and don’t like things that are too trendy… and tend to wear way too many monotone colors.
3. I don’t like having too many articles of clothes, whenever I get something new I try to get rid of something.
4. I am the extreme of middle children; there are 6 older and 6 younger.
5. I struggle to be myself around people who I don’t think are sincere.
6. I sleep with LOTS of blankets and seem to never be able to really warm up.
7. My favorite things to do are to Ski (water and snow), and be active doing whatever with family or close friends.
8. As I get older I like big groups less and less. Unless it’s family of course.
9. I tend to overbook myself a lot, and am trying to figure out how to change this about myself.
10. I am pretty oblivious when it comes to most media, especially music, TV, and who actors are.
11. I love to take walks and just think, especially in the mountains. Only I finally decided that I probably shouldn’t do it alone anymore.
12. I tend to go in 2-3 month cycles of eating the same foods over and over because I don’t like having to think about what I should eat.
13. I really don’t like painting my nails because I never get around to taking it off before it starts chipping and looking tacky.
14. I can’t stand uncomfortable shoes, no matter how cute or inexpensive they are.
15. I get really frustrated when things are not organized or don’t have a place where they belong… although that doesn’t mean they are always in the correct place.
16. Although I used to be able to stay up late a lot and didn’t need a lot of sleep, this is not longer the case… and I’ve rarely been able to nap.
17. I’m embarrassed how much I have to rely on a planner…I never wanted my life to be this complicated. But it is, and my memory is terrible… so the planner is necessary.
18. I am an awful speller. If I didn’t live in the world of spell check, I don’t know how I would get through school.
19. I sometimes think that I should be Brazilian.
20. My favorite color is green.
21. I once took a sailing class, it was one of my favorite classes ever, I managed to flip the boat over, and back over again right side up without getting wet. I was avoiding cold water .
22. I have managed to go a semester without eating sugar, twice.
23. I have been skydiving
24. I don’t eat fast food… I have never really liked it and the smell makes me feel ill.
25. I collect jewelry and maps from around the world.

updates
Update: My cast is green. I had a blue one. yep.
Also, i found out about my spring/summer and fall/ winter internships..... in will be interning with the State Prison (doing therapy on the mental health unit.. i think.) during the summer, and at the Family Support and treatment center during the school year (doing family therapy). It'll be interesting and I imagine that I'll learn a lot. so, yea! I'm excited. So, when the kids at work complain that they fell like they are in Prison I'll be able to confirm or deny the reality of their statements.
hmm.. i think the rest of my life is the same.

Oh, and yes, I stold the pics of Zions from Andrea, give her credit for the pics....but these ones are mine.
