Chelsea's Moving Away Dinner

My friend Chels move to Rexburg, ID with her husband so he could attend BYU Idaho. Although I will miss her (and having snoopy fights at work), I'm really excited for her new adventure. Before she left we took a little trip to the Cheesecake Factory. I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of their food, but the cheesecake was AMAZING....I highly recommend it for those with a little sweet tooth!

Kati's 26th Birthday

For Kati Lynn Didders Johnson soon to be Heath's birthday, I thought it might be fun to go to a concert of a band we both really like, Secondhand Serenade. If you haven't heard of them, Itunes them right now, you will LOVE them! The concert was great, it was at Thanksgiving Point in a big grassy park. We spend the majority of the night chilling on the blankets (and at points freezing on the blankets, beginning of June was COLD!) and the the rest of the evening getting a little crazy in the front. And can I just tell you I love Kati to death! We have had such a blast the last three and half years and I am so grateful for her and am so excited for her new adventure.

Oh random picture of a boy....don't worry there is a story. Kati and I were looking for a boy for a little hook up for me(which I have discovered I can't do in my old age, maybe I will blog that story....it's a good one) and we both saw this "kid". And after we acknowledged he was cute, we were both like yay in 5 years he will be really cute, right now he is in high school....awkward! :)

The JoYs of being an Aunt

I think after my little blogger post blow up, my sister Shauna thought it would be good for me to get out. She said her and Tim wanted to go shopping alone but I smelled alterior motives. I ended up taking the best cheer up crew, the Watson kids, to Chuckee Cheese. I haven't been there for probably 15 years and I don't think much has changed but the kids had a blast and would be over joyed when these magic tickets started popping out. They were even more excited when they discovered they could buy stuff with them.....picking out prizes and trying the leave without the last slice of pizza because we were way past bedtime was an adventure in itsef. Thanks Shaun and Tim for knowing how to cheer me up! Your little family is the best!

DATING!

Okay this blog is to vent a little bit! So if you have sensitive eyes or don't want to hear my rants and ravs, turn your little eyes away. :) I HATE being single. Not because the benefits of doing whatever you want and not worrying about another person suck, those are nice. But because people are constantly trying to set up with anything with a penis (see I told you, sensitive eyes, look away). It doesn't matter if they are completely unattractive, or boring or really old or really young or a sweet spirit, people don't care. You are their new project. (like in the church, I am the freakin project) Don't get me wrong I have no problem being set up with guys my friends truly think I would like. But I am finding that they are setting me up for the benefit of the guy, and they are wanting me to do a service project! I am not a spring chicken anymore, therefore I have done my pentance with pity dates and courtsey dates...I have put in my service and time already.....I would rather be an old spinster then do those again! And I very well might be! I figure why waste my time, his time, his money (and no I won't go for the free meal) and then have to let the poor guy down if does ask for a second date. And usually the networking factor (maybe he has a hot roommate) is very rare. As you can probably tell I am little bent about the situation. And no I haven't been on a date since Jon and I broke up, and it probably would be good to get out, but I am not going to go on a date, be uncomfortable and be even more discouraged than before. Yes it is hard to see everyone in my life move forward but me and wonder what's wrong with me. But then I have to remind myself that there is wisdom is the Lord's timeline for me and I am trying to do everything I can to live right. So I beg you, if you are going to set me up (which I think no one will now, after my rant and rav :)) please consider who you are setting them up with. :)
