Whiting Reunion

On the 29th of July I left my apartment in the afternoon to begin a great adventure with the ones I love most! We left Aunt Pam's that afternoon to head to Orderville. We got there to meat up with about 20 more of our family. We had a BBQ at the town pool and just hung out. The next morning we started our 10 hour trip to Arizona. We made a lot of stops on the way so it felt like it was taking forever to get there. We were about 5 miles to camp when I woke up to a huge pop and the car started shaking. Yep we had a blow out in our tire 5 miles before we arrived. So luckily our cousins (The Pattersons) were not to far behind us so Eric tought us all how to change a tire. Then we finally got to camp. The first night was just the Bodell Family. There was probably 50 of us there. Then next day was when everyone arrived at the Whitting Homestead. It is always fun to see all the people there even thought I don't even know most of them. For those of you reading this that are not in my famiy the Whiting Reunion is my Grandmas Grandparents so all of the desendents of my great great grandparents have the Whiting reunion every 2 years. I have not been to it alot but I am so glad I went this time. We had alot of fun. On Friday Aug. 1st and Saturday the 2nd they did a sort of Poineer Village thing it was way cool. Everyone Dressed up and there were different things you could go see like the cash store, milking cows, spinning yarn, quilting, ice cream parlot, barbor shop, bull wipp, sling shot, chair making, grandma kitchen and much more. It is always very cool to learn about your heritage. Our Family was in charge of the dances in the nights so I got to lead them. There were lots of people who came so it was lots of fun to be up there on the stage again teaching line dances, it took me back to ranch days and Oh do I miss those days! So Saturday night we started our trip home. We made it to Flagstaff AZ where we got a hotel room at the Americana in. It was deffinatly not Marriott! OK I am not going to lie it was pretty scary haha but a fun adventure! Then Sunday we finlly got home. I had a great time and I am so glad I went I always love spending time with my Family!

Rocky Mountain Revue!

The Rocky Mountain Revue, for those of you who don't already know, is a basketball tounament for the the summer nba league. It is pretty much all the scrubs and rookies of the teams come and play eachother. I get 4 tickets every year for being a season ticket holder so last Wednesday Brandy, Matt and I went to check things out. We got pretty bad seats cuz we didn't get there till after the game started but it was still fun to see them play. The best part was that I got to take a picture with Paul Milsap and Ronnie Price! Ok yea I had to fight off an old usher lady to do it but it was way worth it! haha

The Dark Knight! 12:01 showing!

Thursday night or Friday morning whatever you prefer I went with some friends to see the first showing of Batman. We went at 9 and hung out in the theater for 3 hours till the movie started with the excieption of people taking shifts to go get food. The movie was very good! I still can't decide if I like the first or second one better but it was way good! And Heath Ledger was way creapy but played the part like no one else could have!

Seven Peaks

Noah and Camden got to come play in Provo this week while my mom and Grandpa were in Washington. Here are some pictures of the day that we went to Seven Peaks.

After Midnight

I have some friends that play in a band here in Provo called "After Midnight". They are very good and I love their music. My sister and I were so excited to hear that they were playing this week so on the night of the 16th we went to their concert at Muse music and took along some friends! Their concerts are always fun so we had a blast and I converted my friends over to After Mdnight fans.

The Band

Me with Greg and Matt (Band Members)

Park City Weekend

On Saturday July 12th some on my friends and I decided to take a mini vacation to Park City. We left in the afternoon and arrived in Park City about 2pm. Our first stop was the Outlets because smart me forgot my swimsuit haha. After that we went to the Marriott Mountain Side Vacation Club to check into our Villa. We had a few problems at check in. The first two rooms they checked us into were dirty and then the third room the keys didn't work three different times that we went back on forth. I were a little annoyed, but did not get too upset because I know sometimes things go wrong. They handled it very well by bringing us a big gift basket after we finally got into the room and they also told us there would be a surprise waiting for us at the front when we check out the next morning. So after we all got settled we headed straight for the pool. The pool was way nice and we had some fun there. That evening after the pool we went and got all ready and dressed up to hit the town. Haha it was very fun we walked main street and went to a fancy dinner. That night we went back to the hotel for cards, hot tubing, movies and snacks. The next morning we got up and got ready for church. I went to check out of the room to find out the hotel took care of the room for all of our inconveniences, So our little get away turned out to be very cheap! We went to Breakfast and then to a singles ward in Park City and then it was time to head back to Provo. It was a really fun weekend that I defiantly needed!

Quick Trip

I had Monday and Tuesday off this week, so Sunday after work I got in my car and headed for home. I got to Orderville and got to hang out with my Brothers. I played trouble with Noah and then Camden and I watched some home videos from back in the day. Monday I just chilled around home and went to the Ponderosa for Lunch. Monday evening I went to Cedar City to hang out with Owen, April and Cassidy. We had alot of fun! We went to dinner at this Mexican place that was pretty good. After dinner we went to Wal Mart and got some Nerf guns. We went to the Park, there was this big wooden playground there that we would take turns hiding, finding and shooting eachother! It was so much fun! I love seeing and hanging out with old friends and also new ones ;) I stayed with Owen and April Monday night then back to Provo on Tuesday. It was a good couple days though.
