A quick jab at Utah + an update

For those of you who are avid readers of my blog that I update oh-so-much, you will remember a past post I wrote, what, back in June 08? entitled "Cupcake Nation." For new readers, a brief overview: I talked of cupcakes taking over the universe, basically. It was outdated then. SURPRISE! Utah is just now catching on. For a state that replaces alcohol, drugs and other such addictions with ice cream, jello and ultimate Frisbee, you would think Utah would be the inventor of this infectious trend. Nope. For some reason I find that a little disappointing.

Recently I've received a good number of complaints claiming that my blog is craving an "update"; however, I sat for a good 3 minutes and realized I have nothing to update anyone on. Still school, still work, still happy, still a little bit pathetic. At least I'm consistent.

Here's a few pictures of the past two months to satisfy any unsatisfied readers.


I went home and surprised my mom in February for her birthday. Thanks to my awesome Aunt Jenny and a few innocent white lies, the surprise was a success. It was a great weekend. Isn't she beautiful?


I took my brother and sister to Castlewood (my fourth favorite place on earth as of now) and hiked. It was perfect, as always.


I love this little girl SO much. I got to see her dance when I went home and she is quite a talented three-year-old.


Jake is a hard little worker. He talks so much now and we have recently discovered his natural talent of performing in front of a live audience. He also gets embarrassed easily which we learned when I started dancing and he screamed "Caity!!!" repeatedly until I stopped. No one blamed him and everyone was grateful.


Evidence that I have no talent in all things "Wii." Add it to the list.


Apparently I only take pictures when I'm home, but I found this one and it's a keeper. Amber, Nicole, Brooke and I all recently learned that we love the Throwdown. Ultimate fighting? Oh yes please.

Since according to my blog February 09 didn't exist, here's a list of things I would have/should have/could have blogged about.

Good Things February:
1. I got to go home and see my family. The last time I was home in February was 06.
2. I got a 95% on a test at the testing center which means it was highlighted with a note like "Great Job!" next to it. The last time I got a 95% on a test was probably also in 06.
3. Baseball started, which only means good things.
4. I saw my friend, Kate, for the first time in six months before she went into the MTC. She's beautiful in and out.
5. I had a lot of really good days.

Good Things March (so far):
1. We set up a want-to-be ping pong table at work. Who knew a hexagon shaped table and dollar store paddles could be so fun?
2. I went hiking with Brooke. It turned into snow shoeing. FYI: just because the weather is beautiful does not mean the snow in the mountains is melted.
3. I finally finished season 2 of 24. Bring on season 3.



Happy now?
