Road Trip 2010

So most of you all know that Cash and I took a road trip to Moab, UT. Well I pretty much wanted to sum it up with a cool nifty slideshow with music, but I'm still a bit new and I have NO IDEA how create one. So if anyone wants to help me figure out how to make one it'd be deeply appreciated. It's a bit long, sorry.



Day One: We left Kanarraville and drove to Torrey, UT. passing through Panguitch, Boulder (which is beautiful by the way), made a pit stop and hiked the Lower Calf Creek, and reached Torrey just in time to set up camp and make dinner.



Funny story, we went to the KOA that Libby had recommended for us to stay at but when we arrived the KOA was full. We couldn't back up so we had to drive around the whole lot just to leave. Cash wasn't paying attention on how fast we were going so as we were leaving the owner started running towards us motioning for Cash to slow down with the dirtiest look I have ever seen on anyone's face. Thank goodness they were full because I'm sure they didn't want us there anyways. But the next KOA we found was smaller and very clean, it was really nice and I'm pretty sure we'll go back again sometime soon.

Day Two: We woke up early and made our way to Capitol Reef National Park and hiked to the Hickman's Bridge. After we drove to Hanksville and stopped by the gas station in the rock. Then we drove up to I-70 stopped by Green River and almost got lost because the map says that our next exit was 173 but we passed an exit saying 175 and we thought we both missed it. But luckily we decided to get off the next exit and turn around and by the time that was decided the next exit was the one we wanted originally which was changed to 182. But I guess they still haven't contacted to map company to change it all. After we got on the right road we drove down to Arches National Park right before Moab. Sadly, we didn't have enough time to do the hikes we wanted to do, but that's what the future is for right?

Day Three: After staying in Moab we drove south heading towards Monument Valley. We passed by Monticello, Blanding, and Mexican Hat. We finally reached Monument Valley I wanted to get a picture running on the road just like Forest Gump did. But sadly we didn't know which road we needed to be on and didn't realize until after that we left Monument. Next time in like a couple of years I'll do it again. After Monument we left and ended up at Page, AZ. and stayed on the Utah side of Lake Powell by Lone Rock.

Day Four: We woke up and drove on to Kanarraville to sit and relax after long hours of driving. Overall, the trip was really awesome and so much fun! If you want to see more pictures go check out my Facebook, they'll be plenty on there.

So Ready for School.

"Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing. "





So school has already started for all the "kids" from K-12. But honestly, I wish college started at the same time. I know, I should be like everybody else and not want to go back to school. But I am SO READY for school to start I think I might start counting down the days until it gets here. I'm ready to show up to class, meet new friends, and do homework like it's going out of style. I guess that's why I want to become a teacher. But anyways, for all those who enjoy going to school like me only 8 more days. (minus weekends)

I Broke the Barrier!!

So the reason I'm super excited is that I BROKE THE 170 BARRIER!!! WAHOO!!


So lately I was a little down and not really to happy about all this dieting and working out because almost every morning I would weigh myself and for some stupid reason I just couldn't get past 170 lbs.

I'm not THAT skinny. But one day... hopefully.

WELL, after trying harder and eating smarter and the fun hike Cash and I did yesterday. I weighed myself and I broke the barrier and now I weigh 168 lbs. WAHOO!!! I'm super excited and can't wait to lose more. The really cool thing is that two weeks ago I tried on my dress that I'm wearing to my friends wedding and embarrisng enough it didn't fit. Well I tried it on again and it actually zipped up!! Another big WAHOO!!

Houston, We Have A Problem. . .

Alright, so WE don't have a problem, but I do. All of you should know that my lovely best friend since 7th grade is getting married (WAHOO!). WELL, her first plan was to be married October 2nd, which was awesome because then it gave me time to lose the weight I need in order to fit back into my favorite beautiful red dress.

NOT ANYMORE! Jordan decided that she could not wait that long to get married so she moved the wedding date to August 28th.

Yeah, that was basically what my face looked like once I heard the news that she changed the date.

So now, I have 25 days to work my big booty off to fit into my dress. Well, hopefully my booty stays and the mattress on my stomach will disappear and reveal my six pack (if I can get one haha) So as of today I will stick very close to my diet. Which basically means ALOT more cardio, drink ALOT more water than I do now, and eating the right things at the right time. I am really excited to start it off right and to work all my lovely extra cushion off.

So here it goes, 25 days to lose as much weight and inches as I possibly can. Think I can do it? I know I can. I'll keep you guys updated at least every couple of days. (Hopefully)

Bad Service

Ok, so this might seem like I am ranting and venting about my recent trip to Pizza Hut. But that's because I am. I was not impressed at all when Cash and I went to Pizza Hut for dinner last night since we both were kind of craving their food. Well, let's just say we wont be going there for a long time. (Sorry Cash)



As we pulled in the parking lot it didn't seem like there were many people there so I figured the wait wouldn't be so bad. I was wrong.





We went inside the building and saw a sign that said "Please Wait To Be Seated" so we just stood there looking like idiots for a good 5 to 10 minutes waiting for someone to seat us. Which wouldn't be bad at all. But every employee that passed by us didn't even say a word, they just looked at us and walked away. The manager even glanced at us a couple of times and didn't even do anything. STRIKE ONE! I would have been fine if one of them said "We'll be with you in just one moment" but not even that was said to us. I should have just made Cash turn around walk out and find somewhere else to eat but I decided to give them another chance.


While we were waiting for somebody to talk to us we looked around the place a noticed that every table that was open were either still covered with plates and food from previous eaters or had the dishes cleared but still had cups and crumbs from others still on it. STRIKE TWO!! There was a table that we were standing next to that still had plates, cups, and half eaten pizzas that were left there and still hadn't been touched by the staff. FINALLY, someone from the back of the kitchen who looked like a cook or even the dishwasher finally came up to us and asked if we needed a seat. Uh, DUH! He looked around the room a noticed like we did that every table was dirty with something on it. He even sat us down at a dirty table which was not cool but at that point I was ready to rip them a new hole for being so lazy and dirty.


We got our drinks and ordered our food after a good 20 minutes passed by since we entered the building. And while we were waiting for our food I noticed that family of big boys ordered a lot of food and were getting ready to leave. They took their food in boxes and left a pretty nice tip for the waiter. Well that was nice of them, but then the waitor walked by it many times without cleaning the table. He did actually stop to grab the tip and then go into the back where I saw him get a drink and then just stand around. I was not impressed at all by it.
Oh and then Cash had to use the restroom so he left. But no longer than 5 minutes later he comes walking back and says "If you have to go to the bathroom, hold it. If the girls bathroom looks as bad as the guys bathroom looks like, then they haven't cleaned it for a very long time." That just topped it off for me, I was so ready to leave. When we finally got our bill, I wasn't going to leave a tip but I felt bad. So I tipped our waitress just because she seemed like she was new and nice. But besides her the whole place was disgusting gross and I can't believe we stayed for as long as we did. But I did learn one thing, I'm not eating at Pizza Hut again. (Sorry again Cash)
