LumberJack B-day Party

2011-08-25T10:21:00.000-07:00

So last year on my birthday I decided for my next b-day party I wanted to do a lumberjack pancake b-day party. So after a year of planning, that's what I did for this birthday! The rules were everyone had to be in lumberjack attire. Wearing plaid, facial hair, boot, axes, logs, chest hair, you name it. For food, we had pancakes pie and a wonderful lumberjack cake. It was a successful lumberjack birthday party.

Antigravity Yoga

So now that I have a new job and not taking any classes I should have time to blog. The only thing is finding things exciting enough to blog about...So I will do my best haha

I've been wanting to try Antigravity Yoga for a long time and finally my mom and I tried it out. IT WAS AMAZING! I loved it. It felt so good on my back. I will definitely be going back and bringing Dan with me

This one is for you Mama J

2011-04-10T20:44:00.000-07:00

I'm BLOGGING!

Today Dan and I made homemade ravioli with chicken pesto filling and a parma rosa sauce. It was delicious! When Dan and I cook together we make masterpieces.

So I was in a crafty mood yesterday and reupholstered 4 dining chairs and a desk chair. Haha I'm sorry if you don't like my fabric, I wanted something different.

Summer

2010-07-22T11:11:00.000-07:00

So every summer I do the same thing. I always worry that I'm not doing enough or getting enough done. I always make a summer list of all the things I want to do. I may not get to all of them by the end of each summer but I always look back thinking it was the best summer ever. I have this problem that I have to do something active and outdoors everyday. I always have to watch the sunset and then enjoy the summer night. I think what I'm trying to say is I just need to apperciate the moment I'm living in now and not worry about what I should be doing because it all works out.

This quote has been on my mind latley and I love it so much that I want to share it.
"Life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain"

Life as of now

2010-07-08T00:04:00.000-07:00

Life has been so fun! We have been busy moving into the house and getting settled. Moving is a love/hate relationship. I love putting everything in its spot and decorating everything but I hate moving boxes and cleaning up my mess. Our house is still messy with boxes everywhere but it's getting there. We really do feel so grateful to have the opportunity to live here. The neighborhood and location is amazing. I will have pictures up soon of everything once it's all done. We put lights up that we had left over from the wedding in the backyard and also planted squash, tomatoes and corn. Dan is in charge of putting up our Banff slideshow so you will be able to see that soon. As of summer, it's been pretty fun. Pictures are on the way!

Hello Hello hello!

2010-06-22T12:34:00.000-07:00

So it has been a while! As most of you know, I am a Clayton! Kenzie Clayton is my name. I've been so busy with planning the wedding, work and school that I havent had anytime to update on here. Now that the wedding is over I feel like I have nothing to do, but that's not true. I have lots of stuff to do. We havent even opened gifts yet, and we are pretty excited for that. So planning the wedding wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to take over and consume my life and I would have a billion break downs but that didn't happen. It was pretty smooth and everything worked out how i needed it too. Of course with everyones help, so I just want to thank everyone who helped on making that day amazing! You guys are the best! The wedding day was perfect, It was everything I wanted. The whole day was so fun. The wedding breakfast was perfect, it was great starting off the day surrounded by close friends and family. The Temple was an amazing experience and it was so nice because it felt like everything slowed down so we could just enjoy the moment. It rained a little bit but when Dan and I were taking pictures the rain stopped for about an hour and a half so we were able to do that. The funny thing is I have always wanted an outdoor wedding somewhere in the mountains but about 6 months ago when we were figuring out where to have the reception I just new it was going to rain on that day. So I'm happy it did. The reception was the best ever. I had so much fun dancing and being around the people I love with the person I love. The day went by way too fast so I can't wait to see pictures. For our honeymoon we went to Banff, Canada. It was the prettiest mountain town ever. There was so much to do there and all of it was just gorgeous. We have a ton of pictures but Dan is going to put together a slide show so I'm only going to give you a sneak peak. I'll be better about updating my blog so you guys know whats going on in our lives. This summer is going to be so much fun so I will keep it updated.
Excited for the first 10 hour drive

Did you know

2010-02-16T18:29:00.000-08:00

that this week is national pancake week? We taught it to the kids at our school and ate pancakes, best activity ever! I'll tell you why; it's when the catholics would have to give stuff up for Lent for 40 days. So they would use up all their eggs, flower, sugar and milk so it wouldn't go bad because they didn't have refrigerators. So there you have it, eat pancakes this week even though french toast is better.
So I love the Olympics, I always have. I think it's so cool that the world comes together and competes for something that they are so dedicated too. It's been fun watching them but I'll have to say that I think I like watching the Summer Olympics better. Summer just has more exciting events.
I had a great weekend, it was nice having Monday and Tuesday off. Dan and I have been dating for 4 years now haha time flies when your having fun! It doesn't even feel like 4 years, but I am very excited to marry him and I feel really lucky to have met him those 4 years ago. He's my best friend and I'm always happy when I'm around him. ohhh awwwzzerrrzz haha!
Skiing was fun today, I didn't get hurt. I didn't really push myself but just had fun doing my own thing. I looked at my legs today and I have huge bruises all over, I don't even know how I get some of them.
As for wedding plans, this is what I kinda want to go for:
I love it haha I think it looks neat especially in a barn.

amazing

2010-01-26T19:06:00.000-08:00

this is that same little girl that I showed a clip of a while go. She is 7 years old! She is my idol. Just ignore the horrible music in the background. I just need to ski..haha

life updated

2010-01-19T19:42:00.000-08:00

So life is treating me well right now. I ski in the morning, go to work in the afternoon and then do school and homework at night. Skiing has been a lot of fun. The Canyons is a fun resort. I got my 3's down but I still need to clean them up. Haha I'm pretty proud of myself because it took me forever, and I had a lot of hard falls. I don't know why it was so hard for me but now it's time to learn the next trick.

Work is so fun, best job I've had so far. I've never been bummed that I have to go to work. Everyday something funny happens. Today we were doing an art project and I look over my shoulder and I see Garrett, a little Kindergartner, cutting his bangs. Right then his mom walks in and he has a huge chunk of hair in one hand and scissors in the other. Luckily she just laughed and told him she liked his new hair haha.

School is okay, I'm still not in the swing of things. I'm only taking two classes because that's all they offered this semester for me. I'm taking Construction Principles and Commercial Space Planning. I think they will be pretty easy because they are just like Drafting which I took in the summer.

Wedding Plans have been going great also. We are doing our reception at Wheeler Farm. Haha and I know what you are thinking, Wheeler Farm? But we are doing it in the barn which I think looks really cool inside and out. I originally wanted an outdoor wedding reception in the mountains but I'm nervous about weather. Last June it rained the whole month, so just in case we are just doing an indoor. I actually think it would be fun if it rained, I would just wear rain boots. I'm just excited to dance all night. Another thing, I got my dress! I love it because it's me. I can't explain it too much because Dan doesn't want to know anything about it. But I went to a billion stores before this one and wasn't having any luck. When I would tell the ladies I just want simple, no beads, no sparkles, no train, no tiara, no veil, and not poofy they would just laugh at me and tell me i was boring. haha and I'm not saying that looks bad, a lot of people can pull that off but I can't and I just want to keep it simple. But I love my dress.

So it happened!

2009-12-20T14:04:00.000-08:00

Last night my best friend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him haha and of course I said yes! Jessica said to document this moment so we never forget it so I will tell you the story of how it happened.
First off, I had no idea. No hints or clues or anything. So every year Dan and I go on a Christmas date and it is our favorite date out of the whole year. We usually go out to dinner and then see the lights. We went to dinner up at Log Haven which is a way pretty restaurant tucked away in the mountains. Dinner was amazing. All of the sudden Dan realized what time it was and we had to hurry out of there to go see the lights at Temple Square before they turned off. We then finally got downtown and there is this one spot that's back in the corner that is our favorite. And me still not knowing anything said "oh hey do you want start off at our favorite spot first" we then started walking towards there and when we turned the corner, amazingly no one was around and then he started walking really slow. (which never happens) He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Whoo hoo! We have been dating for four years and I really don't know what I would do with out him.

I designed a chair

2009-12-03T11:30:00.001-08:00

It was for my class and I am done! I'm proud of it even though it doesn't look perfect. In real life it will be made completely out of books. I got an awesome score on this too so I feel good about it.

I can't wait for finals to be over with. I feel like a prisoner in my own house. This month is going to be fun. Elise's and Ben's wedding, egg nog, Skiing a lot, NO school, no work, Christmas, new years and all that fun stuff. I am pumped. Anyway, just an update, I feel like I've been really busy with school, work, my calling and procrastinating. Work has been awesome though, I love it.

sick of being sick

2009-11-17T10:09:00.000-08:00

My throat hurts. and my ear. I think working at an elementary school is a way to get all the sicknesses in the world. Those kids are germ magnets. Then they just cough all over you. haha I love working there though. I went up to snowbird today to grab my pass. Woo hoo, Canyons and Snowbird this year. It will be good. I just need school to be over with. I'm excited for the holidays, I like seeing all the lights and the snow and the family. It's a fun time of year. It's the most wonderful time of the year haha... I'm just excited to get my Sufjan Stevens Christmas album out.

I want to live in a tree house

2009-11-12T12:15:00.000-08:00

I think this would be a fun house to live in. It's this company called Whole Trees Architecture.

quote of my life

2009-11-03T10:16:00.000-08:00

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

I need to think of that more often. So far I've had some pretty fun adventures in my life but there is so much more out there that I need to experience. Life is way to awesome to just be sitting around. I made this list called "My Adventure List" and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger so I need to get started!

I'll design a kitchen for you

2009-10-26T12:45:00.001-07:00

This was my final project and I'm just happy to be done with it.

Wooden Sunglasses. I'm not the type of person that cares about sunglasses or likes to spend a lot of money on them but these are amazing. Anyway, life has been good to me. I've been busy but i've been having fun. School is great, midterms are almost here which means it's easy breezy after that. Work has been fun. You never have a boring day working with kids. Haha I always have a funny story at the end of each day. I need to go on a long hike before it gets too cold. I want to see all the fall colors.

Tis the Season

2009-09-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

It's ski premier season which means winter is just around the corner! I don't know what else to say other than I'm really excited for Pretty Good tonight. ummm yeah and school is going very well and I love my job. I'm actually teaching the kids about winter today hahah. Dan got me a helmet so now I can be more daring. I think my mom is happy about that.

summer of kenzi

2009-08-30T09:43:00.000-07:00

sorry I haven't updated in a while. This summer was amazing. Even though I didn't have a job and I was a bum, I was never bored and I was always doing something. I tried to do something outside and active everyday. There was still a lot of stuff I didn't do, but summer isn't over yet. I did a lot of new things that I've been wanting to do. I got into rock climbing with Elise and I love it. I want to go more before it gets too cold. I went kayaking down a river which was fun. Went camping and hiking a lot. Got lost in the mountains like old times. went cliff jumping up at echo and so much other stuff that I can't think of, but it was a fun summer.

So I did get a job as a group leader at an after school program at an elementary school and I have been loving it. It has been so much fun. We have about 50 or 60 kids that we hang out and do arts and crafts with and science experiments and cool stuff like that. It's been a lot of fun. Does your job get recess and snack time? I don't think so. I also started school up again which is why I'm on here right now because I'm waiting for my online class to start working. I'm going to try and keep my blog updated because now I have a more organized schedule so I will have time to write it. sorry if this post is all jumbled and confusing haha

2009-07-13T09:54:00.000-07:00

I should be doing my homework but I get distracted. I'm creating the floor plans to a commercial and residential space. My commercial space can be whatever I want so I decided to do a ski shop or something along the lines of that, and had to do some research so I've just been watching ski trailers... Get excited for winter! hahah

Happy 4th!

2009-07-04T14:12:00.001-07:00

Will you see this with me?

2009-06-19T14:40:00.000-07:00

This is my dream. I just want to get out there and explore the world.

Avocado Smoothie

2009-06-11T09:30:00.000-07:00

= Delicious

1 large ripe avocado
2 cups milk OR Vanilla Soy Milk
2 tsp honey OR agave nectar

1. Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a blender. Add 1/2 cup milk and honey. Blend until mixture is creamy and smooth.
2. Add remaining milk and mix until blended.

A girl that lived in Brazil for a while made this for me and it was really good, and that's what I've been craving for a while.

Real Game

2009-06-08T11:21:00.000-07:00

On Saturday Dan and I went to the Real game! It was a lot of fun, I'd go again. We had pretty good seats, and it wasn't that cold. Davey Archy sang for us at the end so the majority of the crowd was 13 year-old girls, so it was fun. haha Salt Lake played Colorado and the goalie from Colorado looked like Richie Tenenbaum from far away.

i'll bring you a picnic

2009-06-08T07:27:00.000-07:00

It's Saturday

2009-06-06T12:25:00.001-07:00

So I know a couple days ago I said I wasn't going to do anything with my hair, but that was a lie. I decided I am going to cut it by the end of this month. I wanted to do it sooner but my aunt cuts my hair and she is leaving to Mexico for a while. It's nice having my aunt cut my hair because she knows me and knows what my hair does. The problem is she does what she wants and it really doesn't matter what I say. So we will see what she does.
Life has been pretty fun lately. I like summer but I like winter more. I already miss skiing a lot. I haven't been sleeping well the last week so I've been staying up late watching ski videos which is just making it worse. I feel like I didn't try my best this season. I didn't push myself enough. It was kind of hard though, working up there. It really drained me so on my days off I didn't want to ski, I wanted to stay as far away from work as possible. It was a really long season, about 7 months. It didn't seem like it. Anyway, this summer I need to find another way to get some adrenaline in me. Got any ideas?

Banjo

2009-05-31T19:38:00.000-07:00

I want to learn how to play the banjo and just sit out on my porch and play it when the sun is setting. For some reason that sounds like the best idea right now. Or becoming a street performer and have someone else playing the tambourine while dancing and get money for college, but I get shy in front of huge crowds so maybe I'll just stick with my porch. I was thinking when I get old I would play the banjo and Dan would play the harmonica, or the accordion. Elise has one so I don't know why we don't dust that off and play with it. eh eh?

Today

2009-05-28T13:46:00.000-07:00

Today I was at the store buying stuff and all of the sudden I saw this bird flying around inside the store. For a minute I didn't think anything of it, I just thought it was normal until I realized I was inside. Haha Oh well, I hope it got out. Anyway life is good. It's been a fun mellow summer so far. School has been good. Joe gets home tomorrow. That's going to be crazy! It's weird when RM's get home, but it will be fun. So i think this summer I'm just going to let my hair run wild, let it do what it wants. I'll look like Tarzan most of the time, but then in the fall cut it, shape it up and maybe even brush it haha. well, have a good day!

Good Ideas

2009-05-27T10:50:00.000-07:00

Disposable Trash Can
Taco Holder
Holds the page in your book and your water
Kind of gross, but good idea
Cup/Cookie Holder

squirrel

2009-05-24T18:38:00.000-07:00

We found a baby squirrel a couple days ago on this trail we were hiking. It just sat there and let us pick it up. I thought it was domestic at first because it wasn't afraid of us but I think it just fell out of the tree and was hurt.
So we took it home and nursed it back to health. We figured out that it was actually a flying squirrel. I'm not sure if they are native to Utah and if someone was just releasing it. But I'm pretty sure it was wild, I hope so. It was so cute but we set it free back into the wild.

Summa Tiiime

2009-05-22T12:09:00.000-07:00

Let's go swimming! Our pool is open, and it's getting hot out there. Or we should go float down a river. I'd be down for whatever. Camping tonight? Skiing tomorrow? BBQ's on Monday? maybe some illegal fireworks thrown in there somewhere?

Good news

2009-05-13T13:13:00.000-07:00

I got a 4.0 this semester, can I get a what what, haha.
I ran for an hour today and it felt really good to be able to do that.
We should do this, or at least go to it. I kind of want to do it so I can make some money, I think we should do our one idea where we all just make whatever. This and That remember? If you are down let me know!

So

2009-05-11T15:35:00.000-07:00

this weekend was pretty fun. School is over and now it's summer, which is a relief, except classes start up again next Tuesday for me. Samantha and Blake are engaged! Whooo hooo! haha I'm excited about that, I love weddings, especially when they are your good friends. Friday we saw Star Trek haha, which I thought was really good. It brought back memories of when I would watch it with my Dad all the time. Saturday morning I did Race For the Cure and it was amazing! I loved it, I think I want to do it every year. There were around 17,000 people there, but surprisingly traffic wasn't that bad. I think we should all do it next year. There was also a bridal shower for Jessica which was fun getting together with everyone. We also BBQ'd at the boys, I like BBQ's.
We also decided to walk to Draper from my house. It was about 15 miles and it took 7 1/2 hours, (haha we stopped a lot)
we started around 6 a.m and just took wasatch blvd. I'd do it again haha, but it was nothing like what Carter did, Provo to Farmington, I don't think I would ever do that.

Happy Mustache May

2009-04-30T23:15:00.000-07:00

Backyard neighbor

2009-04-29T17:35:00.000-07:00

So with this long winter we just had everyone has been cooped up inside their houses. Now since the weather is getting nice everyone starts hanging outside more, and I have this backyard neighbor that will work outside on his yard all day everyday and will whistle the whole time he is out there and I love it. I guess I'm jealous of how well he whistles because every time I try to whistle I just get laughed at because it's horrible haha.
So when I grow up I want a place in my house where I can just sit and work on crafty creations. Sometimes that is the funnest thing to do. I like being productive and doing things. Haha One time I made the mistake of watching the Lizzie McGuire Movie with my little sister and then cried after because I was so bummed on watching that movie, but I will agree with you if you think I was overreacting...

Awkward

2009-04-27T11:18:00.000-07:00

So today in my Theory & Psychology of Color class we were talking about what colors we hate the most and why. Turns out the majorty of the class hates seafoam green, and everyone was talking about how ugly of a color it is, and were almost getting mad talking about it. Well, I was wearing a seafoam green shirt, and this girl next to me was the one you could tell hated the color the most because she would make disgusted faces and sounds whenever my teacher would pull up the color swatch. haha I just sat there hoping no one would notice what color of shirt I was wearing.

haha this always makes me laugh

2009-04-24T17:37:00.000-07:00

2009-04-19T12:55:00.000-07:00

Some amazing bowls that I would love to use everyday. Too bad they're probably not dishwasher safe.
Some cool tape that would be fun to use
Who wouldn't want these? Because I know I'd love them.

These I found on a cool website where they make cool wooden things. It's called Live Wire Farm and you should check it out. Have a good Sunday

Mission:Wolf

2009-04-13T15:52:00.000-07:00

I want to go live with wolves! This weekend was pretty cool, we went up to Snowbird where they had these two huge wolves that we got to "meet". I think it would be pretty cool to go hang out in the wilderness and volunteer to take care of wolves in Colorado.
School has been pretty fun, I've been loving it this semester. It's crazy how fast it went, it's almost over. I'm actually excited for summer classes, it will be fun.
I went running for 45 minutes today which was surprising because I've been kinda lazy so that's good, I'm still down to do Race For the Cure If anyone else wants to come!

Happy Easter!

Finals are coming up so I am just working on my final projects. I am finishing my floor plans for my cabin and doing my client profile. It's pretty fun, but I'm hungry and in the mood for soup. I hope it rains today, I'm excited for summer rain. The best was being in Florida when it rained because it was really warm. I need to go running.

This is what I need

2009-04-01T08:57:00.001-07:00

just a little reminder not to spend money on dumb things, like Mexican food late at night. I've actually been pretty good with money lately. Just in case you guys were wondering it was my exit interview yesterday up at Snowbird and I am done! I turned in my uniform and everything. The season started slowing down so they let a bunch of people go. I'm happy that I'm done, it was way fun though, the best job ever. As for know I got a little job being a lacrosse coach for little kids, thanks Ben! I think that will be fun, I miss lacrosse.

Break

2009-03-25T14:36:00.001-07:00

I thought I would take a break on my homework. The canyon was closed today for avalanche control they said they would open at 2 but they still haven't, good thing I didn't got up today!

This was my day yesterday! It was so fun, I'm so happy it snowed again.

and this is a dress I saw the other day, haha I thought it was pretty cool.

You know what I think a theft of service is? Me working for 2 weeks at a dumb little bakery and having my Russian boss runaway to LA and not pay me. Not sneaking into hotel swimming pools. Please cops, there is worse going on in the world so stop wasting your time.

Everyone in my class was mad that it snowed but I'm happy. I didn't want the season to be over with yet. I'm done working at Snowbird, which is weird, it went by super fast. I'm going to miss it, it was an awesome job. Now I'm looking for another job, if you know of any let me know! Spring break was fun, I went skiing with Dan up at The Canyons on Saturday and it was way fun, I loved it, I want to get a season pass there next year. The snow was way sticky so we just rode the park and it was so fun because it reminded me of old times when Snowbird had a park and we would just hang out in Baby Thunder. well now that I'm back on schedule I have a list of things that I slacked off on that I need to do today. I got a good score on my floor plans which means I can start on my final project woot woot, and I think I did pretty good on my midterm today without studying. Welp, time for me to cross of things on my To-Do list.

some cool people

2009-03-18T10:29:00.000-07:00

I liked them haha

graffiti

2009-03-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

So lately I've been seeing some really horribly done graffiti. I mean If you're going to go through all this trouble at least be creative about it.

I found this website called Mosstika where they do Moss graffiti and art. I thought it was pretty cool.

Sorry my blog is like a picture book. Happy weekend everybody

people are so clever

this reminds me of summer

2009-03-11T18:01:00.001-07:00

anyway, things have been really good, I like the sunny weather and the longer days, it's nice. I don't want a TV in my house when I move out. It's a waste of time. Spring Break is next week! It will be nice to get caught up on everything and skiiiiiiii. I have a midterm tomorrow that I should be studying for. I'm going to miss working at Snowbird, I need to find a new job fast! Got any ideas? Is anyone actually hiring other then Wendy's? Well have a good day!

What do you do

2009-03-04T09:26:00.000-08:00

when you see something you really like but you don't need it yet. For example...

I like it, but don't need it until I have a house. What do I do? Probably wait.

I feel boring.

2009-03-03T22:15:00.000-08:00

I feel like I need to do something exciting in my life so I'll be more interesting. I want to go somewhere out of the country, anywhere, and not have a set time of when I'm coming back, it will just be whenever. And while I'm there I want to meet people and help them out with whatever, do a little service and get to know them. I want to learn a different language and live a different lifestyle for a little bit. But where should I go?

2009-02-23T20:25:00.000-08:00

Someone's got a case of the Mondays

2009-02-22T21:24:00.000-08:00

Personally I like Mondays. I like starting over with a clean slate. It feels like a fresh start, where as during the weekend I feel like I have this build up of stuff I need to get done but I shouldn't be doing it because it's the weekend and should value hang out time. But don't get me wrong, I love the weekend I just get more stuff done during the weekdays. I'm more productive on the weekdays, I go to bed early, Go to school, Do my homework, go running and clean my house.
I forgot who told me this but I think its a good rule to go by. There is 24 hours in a day which means, 8 hours of rest, 8 hours of work and 8 hours of play.
This weekend was pretty fun, I went night skiing with Sharon and Dan and Dan and it was a lot of fun! Freezing, but they were fun to ski with, I would love to go again! Then on Saturday we went to The Submarines and they were fun to see live, they're music makes me happy. Anyway I hope you all have a fun week!

My life is gooood, My life is REAL gooood.

2009-02-19T11:07:00.000-08:00

Things have been really fun lately. Work has been fun, I was with two girls the other day and we pretended we were unicorns and then the next day I had a little boy and we pretended we were in WWII blowing things up, so working with kids can be fun. School has been a lot of fun, I'm going to take classes in the summer so I can get done faster.

This is usually what the bus ride home looks like, nice and snug. It can be fun though, I usually meet some cool people and talk to them about life, and skiing.

Valentines Day was fun, I went on a fun date with Dan and he got me flowers.

I love Sunflowers, I'm not much of a rose person so I was happy to get Sunflowers, they are my favorite.
So I'm thinking about doing Race For the Cure if anyone else wants to. It's for a good cause and it would be fun to run with all of you! haha

2009-01-28T09:19:00.000-08:00

that laundry is my favorite chore to do. If you wait long enough like I do to get it done, and then you do it all at once it's like Christmas all over again! You forget about your clothes and then while you're putting them away you get excited to wear them again because you forgot you had them. Its amazing.

I should be doing homework

2009-01-26T17:34:00.000-08:00

but I found this cool website where it has all these different designs of wallpaper and if I were a kid again this would be mine.

so...

2009-01-19T15:06:00.000-08:00

Not much is going on, I just feel like writing. It feels good when you get all your to-do's done and you can cross everything off that's on your list. Lately my list is always full and it feels like there is always something that needs to get done. It's usually a bunch of little things running around in the back of my head. I'm happy I didn't have to go up to work today and I was able to get a bunch of it done. I still have to..

- Go to the Bank

- Buy Art/Design Supplies

- Go to the car dealership

- Talk to my Supervisor

- Call Alicea ( a fellow employee about carpooling)

- Call Karen

- Talk to a school Counselor

- Buy a wedding gift

- Write Erika

- FLM 1070 reading

- Figure out If I'm missing anything on this list

2009-01-07T06:54:00.000-08:00

So last night I was driving home and this happened...

Icy roads and huge trucks are no good. I was in the car with Tash and Samantha, luckily no one is hurt just a little sore.

Story Time

2009-01-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

It has been a while because i've just been busy doing my own thing and relaxing over the break. It has been so nice to not have anything going on. I've just been skiing and working and hanging out with the friends and family. The end of the semester was awesome, I have pretty good grades which is always a plus. Christmas was really fun, a lot of Clayton and Norton family parties which are always fun! New Years was pretty fun too I worked that day and then stayed up at Snowbird to watch the Torchlight Parade which was pretty cool and then went to a friends wedding at midnight which was crazy haha I loved it.

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287888223879660546" />

I love my job! It has had it's ups and downs like every job but for the most part its been awesome. Sometimes it does get exhausting working with kids that are cold and tired but I love skiing and getting paid for it, it is awesome.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2008-11-27T11:29:00.000-08:00

A Thanksgiving memory that I have is every year my dad makes orange rolls. Well one year I ate a bunch of the dough which made me really sick because of all the yeast in it. I went ahead and ate Thanksgiving dinner at my Grandma's house and just felt so sick the whole time. While we were heading home it just got worse and worse and with a combination of the yeast and the food and my dad's bad driving I ended throwing up in my front yard in front of all my neighbors and their families because for some reason they were all outside. I am forever scarred and will never eat an orange roll again. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm Making my own Shoes!

2008-11-24T11:49:00.000-08:00

and it's harder then I thought.

Right now

2008-11-11T18:52:00.000-08:00

Life is really good. Usually at this point in my life with finals coming up, I would be really stressed out trying to get all my homework and studying in. Unfortunately I do not have a job right now because of certain Russians who decided not pay their employees and leave the state. It’s a very long and complicated story about things I probably shouldn’t talk about, but the important part is I have had a lot of free time to be stress free!

We're getting there!

2008-11-05T08:59:00.000-08:00

THANKS DAN!

2008-11-03T21:10:00.000-08:00

Description: Introducing one of the world’s fattest women’s specific powder skis. Its wide platform, deep sidecut and light and lively feel makes it one of the most fun and functional skis you’ll ever ride in the powder, and everywhere else on the hill. The Pandora is a true work of art from the beautifully painted graphics, to the first of its kind, real embroidered logo, threaded right into the top of the ski. The only thing that will look better is the fresh tracks you’ll be laying down on your next powder day.

Who could ask for anything more? This ski is amazing and I'm so excited to ride these this winter and many more winters to come! Thanks Dan You are the Best! I'll have to agree with Blake we need snow now, I just can't wait any longer.

Halloween!

2008-11-02T11:16:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween because I had a lot of fun! I thought it was a good turn out, everyone's costumes were really good and I had fun dancing with all of you. I can't wait till next year!

I'm looking forward to do this...

2008-10-12T20:35:00.000-07:00

Everything has been going really well, life has been fun and it finally snowed! The semester has been going by really fast, we are half way there. I'm just excited for next semester when I can get started on my major and have generals be over with. Thanks to my math teacher I don't have math for a week and a half because he is leaving the country. SO, that will be a nice break and to be able to sleep in. And thanks to Christopher Columbus I don't work tomorrow!

Haha this makes me happy...

I went running up Millcreek canyon today and found this dog wondering around with no owner and a bloody foot. I kept calling the number on the tag and finally got an answer from the owner. As fun as it was having it pee all over everything in my house I will miss her.

GOODBYE SISTER NORTON!

2008-10-02T10:38:00.000-07:00

So Erika left yesterday to the MTC and it was really cool seeing one of my siblings leave to go on a mission. She really is an amazing example and I know the people in the Philippines will love her.

Snowbird Orientation

2008-09-16T11:59:00.000-07:00

So I went to Snowbird's Orientation today and it was pretty fun. It was four hours long about a bunch of stuff that I already new but they had food and herbal tea which was goo because my throat hurt. Which by the way I think is going around in the group.. so beware.

I got my pass today and I look like a GOON. haha too bad there are no retakes. This is worse than my drivers licence, the lady didn't even say 1,2,3. We were actually having a conversation, i guess she thought it would be rude to interrupt.

So I am excited to work with Snowbird again, I met a bunch of cool people that I will be working with and I met three more of my bosses and they seem like great people and will be really fun to work with.

huh?

2008-09-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

How do I follow people?

update

2008-09-14T11:47:00.000-07:00

OK, well since this is getting more popular I think I will try and keep this updated a little better.

I was thinking about this trip today and I think that it was my highlight of the summer. Best trip ever! Sorry you weren't there Trevor but you will be next year. For sure we are going again, it was an ideal vacation.

I'm freaking out

2008-06-10T09:41:00.000-07:00

It feels like my best friend has died
I need to do something instead of sit around and looking for things that reminds me of it. I need to go skiing to bad. If i wanted to i could cry myself to sleep. haha i just need to ski, i feel really homesick

2008-05-26T11:16:00.000-07:00

i don't believe you

thought

2008-04-13T13:29:00.000-07:00

Let's all try a little harder to be humandoings instead of humanbeings

sleeping in

2008-04-09T11:01:00.000-07:00

I slept through my alarm this morning because my dream was way better then school.

blabbing

2008-04-06T17:26:00.000-07:00

I wish I were better at writing these. I feel like I don’t have any time to, but I do, it’s just an excuse. I have a headache and I think I get headaches when I stay in my pajamas for too long and don’t leave the house. I want to be outside right now. I need to finish my paper. It’s only a three page paper and I have two pages. I need to clean my room. I like work right now. I’m excited to go tomorrow. I want it to be Monday, I like the beginning of the week because it’s like a fresh start, but on Sundays it feels like the whole past week is weighing down on you. I’m pumped for summer and the freedom that comes with it. I miss our Sundays back in the day.

work

2008-03-03T10:59:00.000-08:00

I never want to go to work, but when I get to work it's really fun and goes by way fast. I hardly ever have bad days at work so why am I complaining. Plus today is payday so why wouldn’t I want to go.
