So really..

My life has not been that interesting lately, which is why I haven't had a post for a little while. But this weekend I had such a blast. To start things off, one of my best friends ever, Trenna, came back into town. She's been at Weber State, and I've missed her dearly.. 

So this is what happened. We go to the football game: Weiser vs. Payette. It was Weiser's homecoming and I also knew almost all the girls on the court. Needless to say, it was a fun night spending time with all of them.. but the craziest thing happened.. After 32 years...

PAYETTE BEAT WEISER!!!!! The Payette fans went crazy, and the Weiser fans seriously acted like someone has died.. and I just happened to be sitting on Weiser's side, so I couldn't cheer too loud. 

I called my mom to tell her the big news. I was whispering so that no one would hear me, and my mom would NOT believe me.. I thought I was going to be on the phone for hours trying to convince her.. but she finally believed me.. thank goodness!! :)  

check out the story here..

It was awesome.. 

then the rest of the time was spent with me and Trenna and a few other friends having a good time and catching up! 

She left on Sunday and I miss her already! Love you Trenna!!

We tend to take weird faced pictures!

Amanda, Queen Anna, Trenna, and Me!

And the verdict is........

I'm going to the "Burg" in January!!!!! :)  So last you heard, I was still waiting around to hear what track I was going to be on for BYU-I, and so this past week I found out that I'll be going there the Winter/Summer track.. It's going to be freezing!!! But I guess it's a good thing that I'm a big fan of coats, sweaters, and scarves!

I thought I'd include a picture of some of the kids up there during winter so you get an idea of what it's like there!

Ok, so I just found those images on the internet.. but I'm pretty sure they're not as unrealistic as they may seem.. haha.. :)

Trip to the Zoo!!

I absolutely love the Zoo. I always have, and I'm pretty sure I always will! I've been to a few different zoos: San Diego, Milwaukee, and the only one really within driving distance, the Boise Zoo!! 

So, about a week ago, Tyson and I were having the hardest time figuring out what to do. Both of us are pretty indecisive which makes for a hard time planning different activities. (Neither one of us cares what we do, so it's almost like pulling teeth for us to make decisions.) Anyways, so I was spending hours trying to think of something fun we could do. So I chose the zoo, inexpensive, yet strangely exhilarating!

We had the funnest time there, (yes.. I know, funnest isn't a word), except for the fact that the animals that I wanted to see the most weren't there. The big ones: Hippos, elephants, lions, the African animals. Well we found out that they were actually redoing the habitat for all those animals, so they wouldn't be there until October. So we were left looking at smaller ones, and yet, I still had a blast.. 

I think the funnest part was seeing the tigers pretty up close and personal, and then of course the photo shoot!! 

(Here's a sneak peak of our day at the zoo!)

Lions..

and elephants..

and gorillas...

OH MY! ;)

On the way home.. 

Once again...

Yes, I know. Once again I’ve totally gotten behind in the whole “blogging” scene. So once again, I’ll have to update you on everything that’s been happening.

1.    You’ll laugh, but I finally gave up my title as “Miss West River Valley.” I also gave my last clogging performance and blew people out of the water!!! (That’s my opinion of course!) But it really was a bitter-sweet moment. I enjoyed all the events and opportunities that I had, but it’s definitely a different world. I will miss all of the people that I’ve met throughout this whole thing, but I hope that it won’t be the end of the friendships that I’ve made.

2.    Our whole family came to visit. I had such a blast. I love when my family comes into town because after a while, I really do start to miss them, even if they drive me absolutely crazy while they’re here!

3.   We had our Oxnam family reunion, which was quite the shindig.. I got to see family that I haven’t seen in over two years, and it was awesome to catch up! One of the highlights through this whole time was when I beat everyone in horse and was the reigning champion over EVERYONE! Yep that’s right, I beat all the guys in the competition. It was grand!

4.   I started my new job at a chiropractors office, which I absolutely LOVE! I feel so at home there. I enjoy going to work everyday there, and enjoy all the people that come in.. :)  And for those of you who would like to know how I answer the phone.. here it is. "It's a fantastic day at Alpine Family Chiropractic, this is Kaytlin.."  I know right? hah.. 

5.   Something else that’s new is my new guy Tyson Roberts. (Yes, like the chicken, my mom thinks that’s funny for some reason) but anywho, we actually met through his sister that I was pretty good friends with. He came back from BYU-I, we went on a date to the rodeo, and things just clicked and we’ve been dating a little over a month now!

6.   And for the BIGGEST news.. I got my acceptance letter to BYU-I!!!! So contrary to what my last post said, things in my life are coming together and I couldn’t be happier! I don’t know what track I’ll be on yet, but should be finding that out in a week or so!! And I'll hopefully be staying at Autumn Winds, (following in my sisters shoes). :)

Seriously, how cool is it going to be for me to see this EVERYDAY! 

So that’s just a little wrap up of what’s happened in the past few months that I’ve been away! But like I said, things are started to fall into place and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me!!!

(And excuse the pictures, they're not the best, but they're all I got!)

It's been a while..

So I haven't been the best of keeping my blog up to date.. so I have a few things that I have to cover.. 

First off, this past weekend I was able to spend some time with my Derrick, Kim and the girls.. and that was a good time.. My mom, myself and Kim all tried belly dancing and realized that it's harder than it looks.. Especially the snake arms. :)  

After a night with them we went and celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday! It was a lot of fun, and I met family I had never met before, and saw other's that I've haven't seen since I was little. I was able to play some guitar with my cousin Tim, and caught up with family members. 

Since I've been back, I actually had a job interview at a physical therapy office in this area, that I'm really hoping I get. That's what I want to go into, and this would give me a great opportunity to get my foot in the door. 

And as for the rest of the week, it's been filled with pageant stuff.. Today (since I'm writing this past midnight) is our local pageant where I will wear my crown for the last time. But I'll more about that with a different post and pictures. 

But lately for some reason, I just can't seem to get my ducks in a row. I don't know what's going on with me. I'm hoping that it's just kind of a short term problem and that it will all go right after a while. But for those of you who are wondering what I plan on doing, I'm going to go to TVCC for my first year and then I will be transferring (most likely) to the University of Utah. They have a great physical therapy program there, and that would be my reason for going.. I've always wanted to go to BYU-I but we'll see what happens.. if U of U doesn't work out, then that's where I will most likely be attending. 

Hopefully I've covered most of the bases, and I'll be back with pictures of the pageant!

Cleaning..

So for about the past three days, I have spent my precious time doing something that desperately need to be done. I cleaned my room. Now, the reason why I decided to clean my room was because for about the past 4 months I've been sleeping in the living room on the couch. I've realized that I needed to start getting to bed earlier which wasn't working because I was up all night on the computer or I was watching T.V. So I knuckled down and got it done. But like I've told my mom, I'm not the type of person who can just pick up the clothes off the floor. I have to do all the laundry, clean out all the stuff that's piled up, reorganize the closet, clean out my drawers, vacuum, dust, etc. So I finally got it done.. and I've put up some pictures of the finished project. Let's just say that I'm definitely proud of this accomplishment, and I always forget how dang comfy my bed is!

And the picture that I took of the block saying, I made sure was the focal point on my window seal because it's something that I think will help me get through the day!  :)

Contemplating

I don't know about you, but have you ever had that feeling that you don't know what to do in life. That so many things come at you at once and you feel like you're catching a hundred softballs with just one mitt? Well, that's kind of how I feel right now. For the most part I have a pretty relaxed lifestyle, but in all reality I should be figuring out what I'm going to do with my life. I'm out of high school now and I'm supposed to be having a real life now. I found out that my counselor at the high school was wrong the whole time about a math class I had to take, which put me behind in applying for the colleges I actually wanted to go to. This might not be making sense.. but it does in my mind. I guess the whole procrastination thing has finally caught up with me and is totally biting me. I'll get it figured out.. but until then I'll, like Dory (from Finding Nemo) says.. "Just Keep Swimming" :)
