Past Weekend's

The past two weekends I have had lots of adventures! I have been SOO busy lately I have not been able to blog about them.. so here I go!

Friday the 12th I had a movie party with two of my good friends, we watched "Rent" and "boiler room" both very good!

Then Saturday the 13th was my birthday! I had a very fun afternoon with my family! My dad came down and we all met at Rachel & Bryan's and had lunch, which consisted of sandwiches, which are one of my favorites! Then we played my favorite game "Phase 10" and Rachel made me a homemade Chocolate cake, which is also my favorite! Then I got to open some awesome presents, I got some new books! chocolate bars, a new shirt, an orange (From Brayden), $21, and a Awesome new shirt!

Then on Sunday I opened by presents from my Mom and brother and they gave me more of my favorite things!

After that little party I went home and got ready for my night adventure! Katie and Tanya from work took me to Mesquite to go play Bingo, ya that sounds ghetto, but it was fun!
None of us won anything, but it was still so fun, my first Real bingo experience! Plus, I was SO close to winning, we are definitely going back again! After that did a little gambling, I was doing pretty good for a while, but in the end I came home empty handed.

Here are a few pictures from the night.


(the car was my present from Tanya.. I just didn't get to take it home :(








Last Friday was SO exciting, my friend Megan and I went to Las Vegas to go to a Janet Jackson concert, we left town at four and went straight to the Mandalay Bay to get our tickets, then we took a taxi to the mall and went shopping for a bit and ate! Vegas has the BEST stores!

Around 7:30 we rushed out of the mall and find a tax, we asked around on where to find one and was directed to the casino next too us, where we found a line full of about 30 people, we were freaking out a bit at this point because the concert started at 8:00, but the line went down in like ten minutes and we were on our way.
We arrived at our destination and got in our seats SO excited for the concert to start, in the end we waited a hour for it to actually begin (DANG, we could of shopped more!)

Janet Jackson is seriously amazing in her live performances, she song about half of the songs on her new album and a lot of her older, amazing songs, the concert was a little over two hours long, and SO worth it.

We got home around 3:00am and I went straight to bed! It was a Very fun night!




Saturday my search went on to look for a place too live, I called over twenty people and ended up only look at 2 places and left so many messages..I am still searching right now! So hopefully something comes ups.
Saturday night I went over to my friend Mike's house and hung out with a bunch of friends! It was very fun!





Here is a picture I took the other day with my brother!




And a cute picture of Brayden!




So recently I have been Crazy busy with school, I just took a test yesterday and one today, then I have to take one Sunday and Monday, plus do homework on top of that. So my week has been full of me going to school, going to work, going to school again then coming home and doing homework, going to bed, then ... repeat. I am so happy that is it pretty much the weekend.. even though I have homework and a test. Still no work or school!

After I find a new place I will put some pictures up of it!
Thats all for now!

A funny Mistake.

So the other day I was at work and I wanted my Co-worker Marshall to look at something on my blog, so I instant messaged him the address of it.. or so i thought i did. I made a small mistake with the spelling of "blogspot" instead i wrote " blogpsot" so this is the url that I gave him:


carieml.blogpsot.com



Check it out..

I promise its not porn or anything bad ...HAHAHA

Question of the day!

Question of the day is:



Whats the weirdest thing that airport security has asked you to do?



....

Mine would probably have to be when I took my last airport trip at the San Francisco airport, this worker asked to take my hat off.. so i did.. then he took it and examined it like I had a bomb inside of it or something, i swear he check every inch of it to make sure it was safe..

Anything crazy happen to you?

(Okay, mine isn't really crazy)

California Trip!

Last week on Wednesday the 6th I flew off to go see my sister Jessica who lives in California! I had the most fabulous time visiting her and experiencing her life style. My trip started off at 7.30pm at a hotel in St. George to take the St. George Shuttle to the Las Vegas airport. I fell asleep during part of the ride so it went by rather quickly. After I got to the airport I checked in for my flight then I sat by the gate and read my book for about 45 minutes until the plane boarded.

In the plane I sat near the back of the air and in front of me there were two little boys that were about 6 and 8. I do admit they were a bit annoying at times, while we were waiting for the plane to take off the kids were looking at the safety card that tells us what to do if the plane crashes in the water. So the older kid says very loudly, "mom, when the plane crashes I'll show you what to do cause I read the instruction card so just ask me what to do" the mom just looks around with a scared look on her face, I admit I was laughing because he said that. About ten minutes after the plane went off the ground the "Get your seat belt on" sign came on and made a "beep" noise, the younger boy said "Mom that sound means we are now flying. Haha, that was my entertainment of the night! I got to the Santa Rosa airport around 12:30 or 1 and Jessica came and picked me up, she lived about ten minutes away.

The next day we got up and went to the Red Wood forest national park with one of her good friends, it was incredible to be out in the fresh air and to see all the enormous trees growing all over the place. Near by in the park there is a small lake where Jessica picked some wild berries that we ate as a snack. Later that night we went to a farmers Market and then went to one of her favorite restaurants called Sol Food. It was very delicious! Then we went and met up with one of her friends.








Friday we were a bit lazy and stayed at her house for a while and watched some TV shows and we went on a quick shopping trip to by me a new outfit! We also got invited to a Renaissance party, which was weird interesting and fun. It was a 25 year anniversary party for this couple, they had the whole Renaissance/middle ages theme down very well. There were knights, jostling, turkey legs, and much more. Everyone was dressed up in costume and having such a great time. So we ate some big turkey legs and watched some knights jostle.








Saturday we woke up around 8 because we had to head to San Fransisco for a business meeting that Jessica had. First we ate breakfast and a little cafe called "Cafe Gratitude" where all the food is made from raw food. First we got a fruit/veggie juice with a shot of wheat grass on the side, it was very delicious! Then we got some spicy coconut Thia soup and a big pepper (filled with something I forgot what) and rice and salad. Then we went to her meeting at her friends club and we got to have a tour of the place. Every room had its own theme.



Then we went shopping with one of her friends and a San Fran. mall, which is like seven of the St. George malls, so it was heavenly! There were so many stores to chose from. We spent a few hours looking around and buying new stuff!

After we went to the Mall we went to a Tea shop/restaurant, it was very delicious and we ate some interesting food. After that we walked around the park and took some pictures, then we went off to see another friend and just hung out then went back to Jess's house and went to bed.

(I took both these pictures at about 10am and I could not believe how foggy it was!)
Sunday we woke up and went to the Apple festival which was really fun to walk around and see all the vendors and all the tasty food options. Then we headed off to Jessica's friends baby shower, then headed back to San Fran. to drop me off to the air port. We left around 4:45 and my plane's departure time was 7.15. The drive is usually 1 hour and 30 minutes, but for some reason it took over 2 hours and thirty minutes, we arrived at the air port at 6:55 and we were told that we were too late and had missed the flight. So we had to book a flight for the next morning at 7:45. We then decided to go eat at a tasty local pizza place with her friend and drove back to her house. We then woke up at 3:50am to leave to drop me off at a Shuttle to take me to the air port, I got to the air port with 45 minutes to spare so I tried to nap but ended up just listening to music. After we got boarded I was able to fall asleep for about half the flight. After it landed I went and retrieved my suit case and sat for 50 minutes to wait for my ride with the St. George shuttle. I slept off and on the ride home but couldn't get comfortable. So I finally arrived home at 1:30pm and my momma picked me up!

Overall I had a wonderful time visiting my sister and experiencing her life style!





I'll add more pictures when I upload them!

Its time to move on!

So the the past two months I have been doing a lot of moving.

At the end of June I helped my sister Rachel and my bro-in-law move, then about 3 weeks ago I helped a family friend move. Then two weeks ago I help my work move for about 7 hours from one building to another...I was SO sore the next day.
Then the day after helping them I helped my dad move from Cedar city to Leeds.

I just feel like I have been going on a moving frenzy!

In about two weeks I get the great opportunity to join the moving party.. whoo hoo! I am currently looking for a place to live, well i have been looking online but this Saturday I am actually going to go and look at a few places!

So by September 1st I hope to be out of my current place of residence!



I will be adding my blog about my California trip shortly.. after I upload my pictures from my camera :)

Just the Right Size!

I recently found this nice little treat. It is a mini sized ice cream that is just the right size!
It usually takes me like a week to finish and it prevents me from eating too much at a time!






So as a update, I have been without internet for almost two weeks, its been hard. School is now out until August 26! So it will be really nice to have a break! I also got my job back, it was nice to have a month off, but I definitely needed to get a job! I am just glad I got my old job back!

I am also going to be taking a mini "vacay" to California to see my sister August 7th for a few days! I am excited to see how she lives her life!

Can you name them all!?!?!
