I Got Bronchitis. Aint Nobody Got Time for That!


I was delighted to hear that I have bronchitis. Instead of ranting on about how inconvenient and obnoxious this is, I cant help but feel that the gal from the Sweet Brown Apt's sums up the way I am feeling to a perfection. 




As soon as the doc told me what it was, I immediately thought of this video that my best friend sent me after seeing it on the news. !

Also, just because someone is wearing a doctor's face mask doesn't mean that they are ill. And even if they do have some rare virus like say....bronchitis....that does not mean you have to treat them like a mutant and flee from their existence (old man from the lobby)! 

literally, moved across the whole lobby to get away from me.

Unfortunately my list of "Can't Do's" is magnified by 4547884x right now, but there is something that I CAN DO! And even though the yellow jackets outside made this process so much longer than necessary, I still cleaned the porch and planted flowers :)

Happy Mamas Day

To the most amazing woman I have ever come to know in the whole wide world. She lifts, encourages, loves, supports, strengthens, and completes my life. I have no doubt in my mind that before we came to this earth my mother and I chose to be together as a family here on earth. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM! Happy Mothers Day!!



Loan Training

I wish I could describe to you how exhilerating sitting in a classroom for a week with one other person while training for loan procedures is! Maybe a picture will do justice...

 Oh and on top of that, I am sicker than a dog. 

My boss thought it would be best to buy me Halls and a Red Bull. Obviously.

All week I have been walking next door to a gas station with Gandolpho's connected to it and I saw something while I was eating my sandwich that made all of this loan training worth it. 
... ... ... ... ...


The 2001 ESPN magazine featuring my boys!! If you laugh and say the Mariners suck, so be it. But this is in 2001 when we tied for the record with the most wins in a season with 116 wins! Oh how I love my M's! I have had three dreams in the last month that I have either been at a game or tried out for the team. I am a loyal fan, but I also think it would be so amazing if Utah had a MLB team. It would officially make my summers complete.
On my way back I was also so excited to see one of the longest jet streams I have ever seen. This picture does not even remotely do its justice, but it started behind the mountain and went across the entire sky. I absolutely LOVE watching airplanes and the jet streams that they make. Why? I know not. But it is one of the simple things in life that truly bring me joy.

Moab

Stephanie and I FINALLY were able to enjoy an amazing weekend in Moab! From camping to hiking, exploring to skydiving, this girl and I lived it up. We stayed two nights and three days and were able to explore all of the wonderful things Arches National Park had to offer, and part of Dead Horse Point as well. I wouldn't want to spend this weekend with anyone else besides my best friend, her and I had such an amazing time...I can't even begin to describe.
We took lots of photos and I brought my GoPro, but it was having technical difficulties so the videos are rather peculiar. Enjoy!
