Girls Trip to Park City

On Friday me and and a bunch of my friends, friends from Omega, decided to take an over night trip to Park City. Here is how O-Gals play!


Our lot after a morning filled with shopping. (PS the pictures are in reverse order, so this would be Saturday morning)



Brittney and I, with our carrier bags.

The cutest boutique like store ever. If I had all the money in the world I would buy shoes and purses here!

Where we ate dinner! Yummy yummy pizza.

The cutest bookstore ever! I could live there.

Rub-adob-dob three in a tub. The hotel room had the biggest tub ever. All six of us could fit.

All six of us in the tub!

Outside the cutest bookstore. We bought a Madlibs book and had a blast that night.

My new boyfriend, Franz the bear.

Just dancing.


So this would be how O-Gals spend a weekend.

What Have I Done for All of April and Part of May

Yep! I know I have been MIA the last little while. WHY? Simple....his name would be Jared. Opps my bad, even when dating I should blog. Silly me.

To say the least I decided to give the dating and love thing another try.

I meet Jared in my singles ward back in October. For awhile we just talked at ward activities. Then at one infamous ward activity at the Grizzlies hockey game we started truly flirting. I lost the bet of who would win the game and owed him 10 dates (might I add I only paid up 2 of them, his loss there.) From that Friday night one we spent a lot, almost every night together and hanging out. When we were not together we texted all day long. Good thing I have unlimited texts.

While we dated I had fun experiencing total not Kendra events:

-Like a triple date with a bunch of law students. Me being the only one who has a lot of idealistic views on society

- I learned how to shot a handgun

- I learned a lot about the not so fun world of MMA, still dont get why guys like

- Learned a lot about fashion. Not my thing to be way all into designer labels

- Starting watching reality TV, again not my thing

- Went out to eat at several fun resturants.

- Best lesson, I realized that to date we have to flirt. Go figure. I forgot that one over the past couple of years.

But alas the two of us just didnt click enough to make a serious relationship. Well sort of true. We both were on the same page of exclusive dating and wanting to see where things would go. As he put it he could see us getting serious. But we both realized we would have to change to much about our selves to be together.

So once again Im single! But not bitter this time through. Im ready for more from the dating world. Im not as afraid as I was. Thanks for helping me out there Jared.

PS. I debated posting much about our relationship sense it did not last. I didnt want grief about why it didnt work out, or if we could worked things out. But I decided I would rather risk that grief then have the grief being asked why I am not dating.

The funniest thing about everything is I told my self that my next relationship, after dating Jonny, would be the one to stick. I had a funny idea in my head that I could hold out and the next guy I kissed would be the one I married. What was I thinking there. So to say the least maybe that will be true the next time through. Or maybe I can get a large number before I get married. Not sure I would like that.

Final leason learned...no more J names. Jason, Jonny, Jared. It gets a little confusing.

All About Soul, Billy Joel

She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain

It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things gettin' out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul

She turns to me sometimes and she asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me at that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say

It's all about soul
It's all about knowin' what someone is feelin'
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healin'
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You gotta get tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul

There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive
As she comes to me at night and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive

It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now, who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
As hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul

Beautiful World Lyrics- Song by Dierks Bentley

I love this song by Dierks Bentley

All the noise and the voices are screamin'
What they have to say
And the headlines and sound bytes are givin' me Demons to hate
And the man on TV He tells me it's ugly
But if you ask me
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
There's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses to bear
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayerAnd press on because
There's so much to live for and so much to love
In this beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believeIt's a beautiful worldIt's a beautiful world
And I know (I know)I'm not dreamin'I just choose (choose) to believe it
So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes, oh
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wantin' more time
Just another sunset
One more kiss from my baby
A smile from a friend
In this beatiful worldIt's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Say what you will, but I still believeIt's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Oh, it's a beautiful world

Where Have I Been

So I know I have not updated my blog in well a really long time. So here are some highlights of what I have been up to:

- This will sound funny. I have cut back on running to help my running. I hurt my knee while skiin in Jackson. And now that I dont have a coming race I have decided to give it a chance to get all the way better. Now it has and I am adding in all my runs again.

- Tending Bairds. Yep I did it again. This was a really relaxed time tending. The kids and I just hung out and played at home for most of the time.

- And well as my life goes social stuff. I am loving FHE, been hanging out with good friends and been dating. Cant complain.

- Best of all its spring time!
