driving is a pain

This ^ is a sunset in New Mexico. my family and I went on a long drive to Utah. On our first night we stopped and stayed with some friends in New Mexico. It's gorgeous there. You can tell just from the sunset :)

Next we went drove to St. George. It's pretty there too. I got to see my Nana and visit my old friend "Mr. Froggie" (: Mr. Froggie is this huge indoor pool that i remember being super duper fun. I remembered wrong.... it wasn't quite as fun as I was hoping it would be. Carson had a lot of fun though, he loves the pool, he just doesn't like swimming so this pool was perfect for him :)


After St. George we drove to Provo. We went on a tour of BYU and went out to dinner and all sorts of fun stuff. :) I'm going to college there someday and now after seeing the school, I'm even more excited for college than I was before.

Our next stop was Sandy and Salt Lake City. My parents lived in Sandy, Utah about 17 years ago. That's where my older brother was born. We saw the old house and stayed at a hotel. We also went to temple square which was beautiful. The temple looks like a castle :) We went on a tour of the conference center. ITS HUGE!! We also went to the Lion House restaurant and the Joseph Smith Memorial building. That building is so fancy schmancy its really cool :)


Next we went to either Perry or Brigham City, Utah, I'm still confused as to which place my cousins live in at the moment. I was at my cousins for a week :) That was my favorite part of the trip. I got to hold one of their pet chickens, Fluffy and I stayed up late every night(or morning i guess you could say (: ) I went tubing and I shot a gun and rode in the trunk of some kind of little car in pitch blackness :) my hands and feet were taped together and I made white trash smores (which by the way are so delicious) I also went to Crystal Hot Springs and rode down a very fun water slide :)


All in all this trip was a lot of fun :) .....except the driving part. 63 hours of driving in two weeks is a little too much for me. Especially when someone is throwing up for five hours of that. Which is just gross. :P

Oh! On our way home we dropped my older brother off at college...I forgot to mention that part :) oopsie.

White Trash Smores
-Heat oven to 350 F
-Spread a thin layer of peanut butter onto Saltine crackers
-Place a marshmallow on top of each peanut buttery cracker
-Put pan into the oven for 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are a golden brown :)
-VOILA! :D

make a wishhh

Recently, I have become a bit obsessed with making wishes. Maybe obsessed isn't the right word, but i do make a lot of wishes. I've even made a list of when you can make a wish. It's strange I know, but, you know, I'm a strange person. Would you like to see the list? Of course you would, here it is:
-11:11 (this is the most important wish times)
-12:12
-12:34 (this one is semi-important too, the other ones I'm not even sure if they count)
-1:11
-1:23
-2:22
-3:33
-4:44
-5:55
-10:10
-when you blow on a dandelion
-blow out birthday candles
-first star of the night (I've never actually seen only one star in a night but there is a poem about it so I guess it has happened before)
-shooting stars
-and of course if you rub a lamp and find that it is magic and holds a genie (you can make three wishes if that happens)
There you go. That's my list. There may be more, and some of those may not count, but I wish on them anyways. Sometimes I get in a mood that says, "what's the point in making wishes if they never come true?" but then I think to myself, there is no harm in making wishes. It keeps you hoping and dreaming and whats not good about hoping and dreaming?
well this is a very short post. I realize that but I've got to go and collect toothpaste for a toothpaste drive. Maybe afterward I will get ice cream :D I wouldn't want to miss that....

oh and i changed the title again :) if you hadn't noticed....
