The Count Down Begins...


I just barely finished one of my classes!!!! I turned in my final assignment and paper for my online coaching course and I only have three more classes to go until I am finally done! AAHH!! My school days are coming to an end. There is two more weeks left of class and three more weeks until I graduate! I can hardly believe it! It is almost here.
Also, I only have two more weeks left until I am done teaching my exercise class. There are bitter sweet feelings with that. With that being done I get to watch Biggest Loser while it is on TV. Not after it has happened on a recorded VHS. I also get to spend my pent up energy exercising with activities that I want to do. Like I can run, lift my own weights, or attend SOMEBODY else's class! Amazing. However, without teaching an exercise class I will miss all of the workouts that I had to go to, I will miss my class, I will miss being in some seriously good shape, I will miss coming up with some sweet exercise routines, and I will miss that extra little bit of income. But, hey, I do need a break. :) Again. :)
Well off to writing more papers. As soon as I finish my portfolio for my internships then I will only have two more classes left to finish. AH I can't move fast enough!!!!

High School Musical


So a couple of weeks ago High School Musical Three came out!! Yeah!! And guess who bought it? Me! I was so excited I watched it that night. I also have High School Musical One and Two! I have the whole collection. If any of you want to watch any of them, please let me know and I will let you borrow them. They are a little cheesy but the music is great! (I do have all of the Cd's.) Here is a picture we took on our honey moon is Disney World. The had a High School Musical parade that came around every hour and did a little show. They also teach you how to dance to one of the songs and Brighton learned it! You should ask him to show you! He has also seen all of the movies. :) (He loves them and he sings to them.) I have been meaning to post this picture for a while now but I just barely found the file to where we had saved it to! Ya for High School Musical!!! :)
p.s. this is for my niece Kennedy "Humuhumunukunukuapua'aMaka heekee mala heenee who" and for Vic "The Boys Are Back! Hey! The Boys Are Back!" And for everybody else who has a love for High School Musical... (I know you are out there)

It Makes My Apartment Smell Mossy

So people have been asking lately (cough - :) Ellen) why I haven't been updating my blog lately. Well I haven't updated it in a while because the only things I have had on my mind were things like school, up coming test, my internships and trying to keep up on those, and not having enough time to get anything done. So I didn't want to get on my blog and whine about those things. Even while I was I was trying to think of a title to start my blog off with I couldn't think of anything great to say!! So what popped into my head was mine and Brighton's new favorite movie, You've Got Mail. That movies has been on TV a couple of times and we love it. Well it is more like Brighton loves that movie and I love watching him quote it and laugh really hard at it. I wish everybody had a chance to watch Brighton laugh really hard. It is the funniest thing out there. And the move You've Got Mail makes him laugh really hard. He doesn't laugh hard at the movie he laughs really hard with the movie. It is so fun to watch movies like that with him. I would like to say that I have a video of him doing it but it is really hard to plan something like that out. But maybe one day. When he laughs really hard it is a loud (no surprise there) and really high pitched laugh. It is the cutest thing EVER and I don't think he even knows that he is doing it which makes it even funnier.

Here is to the cutest husband EVER who can help me laugh and forget all of the things I stress about!

Canada part B (finally)

So I have finally finished all of my projects for the semester and just about to start studying for my finals. But I thought I could at least up date my blog. For my own sake. :) Here are the rest of the pictures from Canada.


Just a pretty picture of Canada and a sailing boat.

We went to a small river where the salmon were laying their eggs. There were huge fish there and a lot of people fishing. Here is a picture of one of the fishes that was caught. And all of the fishes were this big. They were in groups of 8 and the river was tiny! I could have walked across and barley get my knees wet.
We went to a marker that had grass on the roof and goats living up there. We didn't see any goats because it was raining but still.... Goats, on a roof?
Honestly, no jumping.
For those of you who know me well, I LOVE cheese. So we went to a cheese factory. It was a small place but really cool. We bought some curds and they were delicious!
This was a suspension bridge we went to. The whole time you walked across it, it swayed! It was awesome. And it was a huge drop. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world.
After you cross the huge suspension bridge, there were a bunch of little suspension bridges hanging from tree to tree. It was in a rain forest so it was beautiful and I have never seen anything like it in my life. The trees there were amazing, huge, and mossy. I think we should have trees like that in Utah.
Even though it was cold outside, we had to get some ice cream. We sat at a park, which overlooked the bay, and ate our ice cream. People were looking at us funny but, hey we got to eat our ice cream. As you can tell though, it was a fairly sunny day.
This was our first time ever seeing a light house in person. They are pretty cool.
This was our fairy ride. It was sunny but a little bit cold. I have never been on a fairy before but they are very entertaining. It is fascinating to think that they fit all of ours cars on there. I might just be naive but I didn't know that fairies carried our cars to the main land until the day we got on the fairy. Wow I am really naive.
Here was one of the many pictures of water falls that we took. Since there are a lot of rain forests there are a lot of water falls.
Here is Brighton and I holding up a tree. We let everybody pass and then we let it go. When those things fall they are deadly. We saw a tree that was older then Columbus. It was crazy huge. Utah has nothing in trees compared to Canada.
Ya! Kind of scary! I think the last one they had was in '94? I can't remember.
Here is another picture of water and the rain forest.
Here is an Eagle feeding Brighton. We went to a wild animal refuge and saw some amazing animals. We saw some cubs, bald eagles, doves, swans, and more. But my favorite was one of the bald eagles. It had been shot in the wing so they could not let it out in the wild anymore. So the feeder lady was feeding it raw meat and we got to watch her. We were maybe about a foot away from her and the bald eagle was AMAZINGLY beautiful. I am actually really glad that we have it as out country's bird. It is a fascinating bird.



This was our last night there and we were pretty tired. As you can tell there is only one other group of people in the restaurant. Brighton decided that he would do a little dance for our last night there. This is one of my favorite videos because this is Brighton to a T. This is why I love him. You can here me in the background laughing a tired laugh. Even though I may be tired he always has the energy to do something crazy.

This is 1/10th of the reasons why I have not updated my blog in a while. The other reasons consist of working 40hrs a week, taking 16 semester credit hours, working an additional 10 hours a week at my internship site, and I use to have a 1st Aid lab Friday nights from 6pm to 9pm. I am now officially certified in 1st Aid. So if anybody ever needs 1st Aid help, please....feel free to call. That is if I am home. :)


P.S. I will update more about Canada.........................Soon.
