Lots of Updates!

First on updates...
Lindsey, Parker, Holly and I went to the Warped Tour at the fairgrounds! OH MY GOSH! Sooo much fun! But I'm stealing Lindsey's words on this one... I've had enough smokers, F-words and condoms to last me a life time now. haha! But it was a blast! The best show was by Hey Monday! And I found two new favorite bands... The Rocket Summer and The Cab. Loved it!

Hot Mike from Hey Monday (his name is really just Mike but I call him Hot Mike... haha!)

Hey Monday

(Alex, Jersey... who was barefoot the whole time, Cassadee Pope and Hot Mike)

The Rocket Summer

Update #2 -

Parker got his mission call on August 4th! Oh my goodness... you'll never guess where he's going....

AUSTRAILIA BRISBANE MISSION

:D

He reports to the Provo MTC on December 15, 2010. So he'll be gone before Christmas but at least he'll still be here for Thanksgiving and be back before Christmas in two years.

Calling Whitney and Chris with the proud Momma standing by :D

Update #3 -

2 Saturday's ago... Parker, Dad and I went off roading with my brother in law, Chris, his two brothers Mike and Nick, and Clint from Dad and Chris' work. It was so much fun! We went up American Fork Canyon on a trail called Mary Ellen Gulch. SOOO pretty! The Lord sure knew what he was doing when he made that place. Everything had a place. It looked like it had been landscaped. It was perfect! There was some old mining stuff up there that was sooo cool too!

Nick touching stuff in the old house up at the top of the mines in Mary Ellen Gulch. Ugh. What a brave kid haha!

Just one of the pretty moutainside pictures :D

Dad, Parker and Mike at a mine shaft opening.

I had a blast this past week! I love all my friends and family who keep me on top of things and continue to make me love life! Love ya'll!

Nash - Jamaica or Colorado (she said Uruguay at first in honor of Cody haha but then she changed it to Colorado because that's what her Dad guessed :D)

Lindsey - Peru
Tyson - Russia
Jace - Philippines or Boston
Chris - Switzerland or Russia
Grandma Stringfellow - Austria

Debbie Hadden - Des Moines, IA (cause that's close to where she lives)

Anyways, if you guys have any guesses, leave a comment! Then when we find out I'll let everyone know!

Short and Sweet... kinda

Nothing to report really. I had 2 wedding receptions this week, one was for Parker's dance partner, Chelsey and the other one was for my friend Emily Ojuka. Kinda crazy! Anyways... I just updated Cody's mission blog so go read it :D Loves!

Lindsey's Purse Party

Lindsey had a purse party on the 15th! (I realize this is a FEW days late but hey... at least I'm getting around to it.) :D Here are just some fun pictures that I took:

Nash looks like she's about to fall asleep...

Just ONE of the tables full of purses... there were many more on the floor, kitchen table and like one other table. They're so much fun to dig through!

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh Dad! Mom wondered if he ran out of feed... :D

Funny story! So Dalene and Nash drove Grandma's car with Grandma up to Lindsey's house for the party. Well, we past them on the freeway and Parker goes... "Oh! I wonder where they're going!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not even thinking that they're going to the purse party too! Oh man! I will never let him live that one down. :D

I'm thinking about selling purses with this lady that does this! She asked if I was interested and I just might be... it'll be a good flexible job to have while going to hygiene when I start that.

Cody Update and Swimming with Nash

Today, Nash and I went swimming because I had the day off! It was such a blast! I felt so bad because I have been promising her all summer that we were gonna go swimming A LOT since I quit Sam's Club and actually had the time. That was back when I only worked Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at the clinic. Now that I work Mondays and then every other Friday as well, it's been harder to find the time. But, when she found out that I didn't have to work so asked if I could take her, and of course my answer was YES!

It was such a blast! I love Nash! I consider her my little sister and I love her to bits and pieces. We always have so much fun when we hang out. Here are a few pictures... haha the only 2 I took while we were out.

(PLEASE excuse the no make up... but I seriously don't go swimming with make up on haha! Thank you!)

Well I got a short but very sweet email from Cody today :D He's kinda in the dumps because him and Elder Gormus got split up. Elder Gormus is spending his last transfer before he goes home in Florida, Uruguay. Cody is still in Canelones and has a new companion by the name of Elder Hutchinson, who is from Canada. Cody was having a hard time today, he really misses Elder Gormus. But I know that he will be just fine with this new companion and that he will be able to continue the great work that they started together. I'm really glad he's still in Canelones. He's worked too hard to get the members to start going back to church and to continue working with the non-members to have to leave it right now. And the Lord knows that. He says that more about this companion and this transfer will be coming in the letter he's sending.

Aw, I love Cody. He is doing such a great and marvelous work and he will be blessed and so will his parents and sister as well as his future family for this self-less choice he has made to serve the Lord.

Anyways, back to work tomorrow so it's off to bed for me! Talk to ya'll later!

Loves! From your amiga bonita! :D

Girls Night Out

So, as some of you may know, I haven't really been having the greatest time of my life in my singles ward Relief Society. None of the girls are really nice to me and talk to me, except for two, Michele and Autumn. They invited me to go see a movie with them tonight. And I did! And I had a blast! Both are so sweet and such jabber boxes and I loved hanging out with them!

We went to Zupas for dinner and then we went and saw a movie called "Just Wright" with Queen Latifah and Common. (I love Queen Latifah movies... they're always good!) Here are some movie stills... such a good movie! I would recommend it to anyone!

Sorry this is kind of a lame post... but I will get a more exciting one tomorrow hopefully!

Cody had transfers today, and I think that him and Elder Gormus got split up because he didn't email me today and if they were still together then he would've emailed me today. Hopefully I get one tomorrow and so then I can update you on him!

Lindsey and Curses

Lindsey, Parker, Holly and I went to Fox Field to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks, and Holly brought the game Curses! It is my all time favorite game... if you haven't played it you really need to because it is hilarious! Anyways, Lindsey's curses this particular round were to start every word with the letter R like Scooby Doo, sneeze everytime she talked and whenever someone tried to touch her she had to cover her curse cards and say, "You're trying to steal my lucky charms!" Oh my gooness. Anyways this is the video of her with all of her curses and doing her challenge, which was to explain how to make a peanut butter samwich. Enjoy!
