Happy 29th Birthday!

WOW! I can't believe how fast time flies! This is my last year in my 20s. Last Thursday, March 19th, I turned 29 years old. I know most of you don't realize I'm that old, even some of my family, but it's true. Thanks to my family for celebrating with me!

Here's a hat mom and dad sent from Korea. Got to love those Koreans and their crazy party stuff!

George posted a sign for me! Did you know that Wonder Woman's real name was Diana?! I knew mom and dad named me that for a special reason. :) :)

Here's the cake Amanda made for me. I love argyle!!

California Dreamin'

Just a little while back I took a trip to Sacramento, CA. Actually I was in Roseville, just outside of Sacramento. I went to go see to friends from my mission, Jamie and Adam. Adam was my zone leader for about 4 months of my mission. Jamie and I never served together, but have become good friends since being home. As there are few sisters in the mission, we'd see each other at zone conferences and firesides. She came to Utah for a mutual companion's wedding and also for the reunion. These two are some of my best friends from the mission!

Trying to get a good pose for reunion memories..

Eating at PF Changs where Sam, Jamie's boyfriend, works...hook ups!!

The night that I flew in, Jamie took me to a multi-stake YSA dance. Gotta love getting down with my bad self!

What?! Work?!

Most of you know that I work at Zions Bank, well the branch I work at just closed and moved up to another branch. In preperation for the move, we had to throw a lot of things out. One night while cleaning out paper, Preston and I desided to have a paper war. We threw cash out tickets everywhere. This picture is after we gathered them all up.

The next day Caryn found tickets in random boxes...good times!

Tough Girls of Zions...watch out!

Here's the bank that I used to work at, it's an in-store branch. But starting Tuesday I'll be at a normal branch with a drive-up and everything. My new boss is cool, she's pretty chill. I was a bit nervous at first, but things'll be good!

As Sisters in Zions...couldn't resist!

Get out the way! Get out the way! Move!

Well a couple of weeks ago I experienced something for the first time, I hit a deer while driving. Luckily I was driving on a street with a slow speed limit, so I was only going about 25 to 30 mph. I was going down hill so I had my foot on the break to keep myself from going too fast. Although I wasn't going too fast, I'm sad to say that the deer didn't make it. After hitting it, it stood up and just stood there looking at me. As if to say, "what did you just do? did you really just hit me with that car?" After just standing there, making cars go around him, he walked to the side of the road and laid down. I must have done some internal damage, cause by the time I drove off he wasn't moving. I called the police to report it, and it looked dead when the cop was over there prodding at it. Too bad Curtis wasn't there with his bow.

Here are some of the pictures for the damage, you can see it's pretty minimal. The grill looks cracked, because of the bubbling of the crome finish.

This was the worst of the damage to the car, too bad I can't say the same for the deer.

Friends From the Far East!

When I lived over in Korea, I was able to meet some great friends there. Although we've all moved on with life, I've been able to keep in contact with some of them still. Just recently, my friend AJ came to town to visit. So an APB was put out for all Yongson Branch youth to get together. Unfortunately with everyone moving on with life comes crazy schedules. Some could only meet up during the day, and some at night. Daniela and I were able to meet AJ in the evening. It's always great to see old friends, and after 11 yrs I'd say we look as exactly the same.

Christmas!

Most of you saw Nancy's and Gina's blogs, they have all the Christmas pictures. I didn't get any pictures on my camera. I'm going to have to get copies from them both. Nancy Gina and I celebrated Christmas a little early, the Sunday before. That way we could celebrate together. I then spent Christmas with my friends Amanda, Heidi and thier entire family. I'll have to get Christmas pictures up later.

What is up!

So I realized that I hadn't anything new for a long time, so I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to.

For most of you, you know that my parents are on a mission, well that means that I haven't seen them for quite some time. It also means that this last Christmas and Thanksgiving was my 3rd holiday season without them, seeing as how I was on my mission the last 2 holidays. Well with having 2 sisters close, one being married and the other working hard to finish her nursing degree, I was still without family on the actual holiday. There was a real nice girl at work, Amanda(not to be confused with my sister Amanda), that invited me to her family's house for Thanksgiving.

Me and Heidi, Amanda's sister, one of my new best friends!

Me and Amanda! I like to say that we're Sisters in Zion. (fyi...we work at Zions Bank)
