Long over due!!

Holy cow it has been forever since I have actually blogged. Sorry in advance these pictures are wayyy out of order, but hopefully I can keep it in order somewhat. It goes back and forth because I had to take pictures from three different cameras (:

So Ive been in a crafty mood since I have been home, probably because I couldnt do much craftiness at school. Here is a bucket full of gift cards I made for Jay for graduation. Mom gave me the idea to make caps out of cardstock and add a brad with a tassel on top, they were so stinking cute!

Sorry this is sideways, Jay went to golf state a few weeks back so I made him a bag full of goodies. I must say that I am super glad I got all of my stuff before Roberts did close. I sure do miss that store, but my wallet has been thanking me (: guess there is a reason to take a little vacation to Utah.

After things started slowing down when Jess and I got moved back home, I was begging mom to take us out and take some pictures. Last time she took then was over Thanksgiving! Forever ago, well seems that every time we want to take them the weather does something, we got a few good pictures in before the wind picked up too much. This one Jess loves!

Mom got a few others that were good, they are just the other way, I didnt want you turning your head too much, looking all funny (:

Jess was in Boise last weekend for a Carrie Underwood concert. Aubrey got her a ticket for her birthday. She was super excited. So here are a few pictures from the billion that she took.

Sissy and Aubs.

Jess was amazed that she flew a car over the audience. This was one of twenty pictures she took, not even kidding either!

Aubs sister Karly, Aubs and Sissy

Sissy and Aubs right before the concert. Glad you had fun (:

I have been so busy this summer with work, but I am so thankful that I found a job for the summer with how everything is right now. I tried looking for a awesome picture, but no luck. Youll never guess where I work..... the Country Club!!!! I must say that the Struhs' golf life and Court's obsession must have got to me. I absolutely love my job! I wasnt sure if I would ever qualify, yes I have never actually been golfing on a course, its been forever since I have actually been to the range to hit a few balls, but I absolutely love it! I work in the golf shop scheduling tee times, answering phones, and helping out the members. I have been staying busy with that, working weekends and one night a week. I also have been busy in Pocatello as well, I'll explain more later in this post because I have pictures, But member forever ago when I said I got a position on the Student Activities Board for school next year, Well I have to put in so many hours in the office getting things planned for next year so I take a trip down there once a week. I love that job! I cant wait for school to start to see all of our activities work out. Andddd... to add on to my two jobs, I also was asked from my boss last semester if I could help me out a little bit over the summer. It is so nice to know you are wanted back (: We originally planned on me going back in the fall if it worked in my schedule, but that summer allowed me to help him out a little as well.

Sissy got a job as well... Can you guess where?

Yup at Gymboree! She loves it, and funny thing is her manager is the daughter of our friend from the INL. Small world huh (:
Sissy has been staying busy with work and her mini trip last week to Boise. I havent seen much of her with my busy with work. She was able to go to Poky with me last week, I really enjoyed her company in the car. She was visiting a friend while I was at work. It worked out perfectly!

Sissy and Nick.
Graduation was a little while ago, so crazy that these kids are all growing up!

Mary, me and Ives. I love these ladies! I was able to be in StuCo the same time they were. Good luck with your future (:
Oh my goodness I ABSOLUTELY love this picture! I cant remember what Sissy said, but hey it made them laugh. priceless picture (:

Sissy and Jay.

Wowwwww. Time sure flies. Four years ago I met this boy. Yup, we met his freshman year! So crazy watching him grow up, and be able to share this wonderful experience with him. I am super happy for you Jay! Congrats.

Earlier this summer just messing around with my camera. My eye looks funny cuz Jay is squishing it hahaa.

So as I mentioned in previous posts, that I am in loveeee with the DI. Well that still hasnt changed (: I have gotten even more things to make beautiful! I got this chair awhile ago, I started painting it a blue color for my room at school next year, with plans of putting black and white fabric on the seat. Well turns out I didnt sand it enough, so the original wood peaked through when I sanded it when I was finishing it up. So when I get the chance I'll sand it again, but paint it black instead and then put blue fabric on the seat. I got a wayyyy good deal and TJ for a table cloth that I am going to make a window treatment out of and use the same for this seat too. I cannot wait for it to come together in the end.

I'll take a picture when Im done I promise, but so you do have an insight, let me tell you the price of this chair... $4! YUP, Im not even pulling your leg, Im such a good shopper. Just you wait until the end result (:
More braggin, you ready for it! So I fell in love with this chair. Mom and Sissy thought it wasnt very cute, but they didnt have a vision for the end like I did (: hahah. I know this chair is the color green from the 70's as my mom claims, but it will look so cute with all my stuff for school next year. I decorate with this green color and tan and black zebra stuff so it will fit in perfectly!

The end result! Total price of my chair...... $15. Black paint was no more than a dollar. I had the pillows on my bed that needed some spicing up so thanks to Missy's post about her room, I just had to copy the dot pillow. Love at first sight (: So the final total for this project was less than $20! perfect for my living room next year, For sure I will be posing pictures when I move (:
This picture is in the process of beautify-ing (:

Took some old picture frames from the storage closet, some paint, ribbon, paper and just some pictures left. This will go on an empty wall in my bathroom for school next year. Im hoping Bree and I will be able to share a bathroom next year, so hence the "B". I gathered many pictures from my freshman year growing up with Bree. I cant wait to get them framed and put them in our bathroom (:

I must say the ONLY reason I would like for time to fly is just to see how cute my new crafts fit in my room for school (:
Sissy got a new bike for her birthday and Mom got one for mothers day, I dont fit in to well with my mountain bike (: So when the weather is NICE, we go for rides around the neighbor hood (:

So as I mentioned earlier about my SAB position. I cannot wait, I know I already said that but its the truth. The week after school got out I was in Poky for some training. To spice up and add some fun we spent a day at the ropes course. Oh my goodness this was so fun! But also soooo freaky. I hate heights, but I must say that I did fabulous and Im so proud of myself (:

This picture isnt of me, its of Tara, but anywho this is a huge swing. I hate heights, but I went! Aaron was the one that let the trigger go so he was the one who decided how long you stayed in the air with your feet dangling. I didnt want to stay up there too long and I even told him, right when I was in the middle of saying Aaron, I got to the Aarrrrrrr and then it turned into a scream! They said that I won the best scream award for the day. Haaa it was scary but super fun too.

We also climbed on the tower, I didnt get to the top. It was a little different feeling of safety for me. But I still climbed to a comfort height..

Best thing about being home for the summer, seeing my BFFFFFFF and taking our new tradition date night trip to Maverick for milkshakes (:
