Out of the Office

Dearest readers,


So sorry, I've been out of the office and in a new office. I got a full time job through a temp agency that all I can say is really hard but rocks! I'm so grateful to have gotten it. I can't wait to get out of all debt with this monay. (yes, I'm in debt-sad day. But I won't be soon! Wahoo!) It's seven weeks long. I am the Senior Planner for a company called HES Innovations. It's weird to have a big girl job. They offered for me to stay and work for them at a different job in the company- which is really tempting because I absolutely LOVE the friends I've made here (I really don't want to leave them) and I love being by my arizona family...but i'm going back to Utah in seven weeks. (Which I am happy to do because it's the right decision for me and my life right now.)


Guess who came to visit me here in the 117 degree heat?

Yep! The one and only Kumiko Rachel! It was SO fabulous having her here!

Did I tell you I love living in Arizona? I've been so blessed with so many awesome opportunities here and I am forever grateful for it.


Here are some pics from a little trip some of my friends and I went on to Sedona, Arizona. It was BEAUTIFUL! I could live there forever.


So this place we went to is a natural water slide. How cool is that?! There was also cliff jumping and lots of laying out of course.

independence day weekend

I hope you had all had a wonderful Independence Day and weekend. First I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who is in military or has a loved one who is serving our country. I have so much respect for you guys and am forever grateful for your service. I am so thankful to live in this country and have the freedom I do. The 4th of July celebratin started on Thursday for me and my friends and fam and oh what a party it was. From parties to movies to games to hiking to fireworks and watermelon this holiday was great. I should have taken more pictures but here's the ones I got.

My mom, Paige and sweet Rowan came to visit us here in AZ. All of the girls (from the immediate fam) were together and it was a glorious thing. I'm obsessed with my newest niece Ro Ro.


Here are some gorgeous pictures my talented sister in law Paige took while here.. (check out Paige's blog here)

I have the most beautiful nieces..

humpty dumpty had a great fall

After being rejected for too low of iron and such before, today I finally donated plasma for the first time. It was a party let me tell ya! The lady put the needle in wrong so it hurt the whole time I was donating. After I was done I went up to get my money they owed me for the donation (yes, I sell my body for money). I told the guy at the money desk I felt like I was going to pass out, he told me to sit down and that's all I remember until I woke up on the ground with about ten medical workers around me asking my name and if I could move. I guess this little mexican man caught me as I was going down so I didn't hit my head (thank you little mexican man!). My elbow and wrist are sore from the fall. Embarassing. It gets better though.. One of the workers had asked me out (as he was taking my needle out of my arm-good thing I didn't say no..I don't know how to say no to cute guys even when I don't know them-bad) and he texted me later and told me that everyone was like "oh you made her pass out out of excitement" greeeaat. Oh and when I wasn't feeling good before I passed out I thought I just needed to eat something (I'm hypoglycemic and thought it was just from that) so I had a chocolate in my mouth when I fell and went unconscious and when I woke up I still had it in my mouth (thank goodness I didn't choke) I didn't know what to do with it so I just ate it when I came to and one of the workers thought it was soooooo funny. She couldn't get over it "oh that must've been a good chocolate. Can I have one?" (in a black lady's voice. ((I love black people)) So I will forever be known for that I am sure. But hey, I'm $30 richer, holler!
I can't wait to see God's home video of this in heaven.


P.S. holler to my passing out buddy Kumiko!
