It's Summertime

For those of you who actually pay attention to things such as what time someone posts a blog, you may notice how late (or early) it is. Why in the world am I up at this time, no less blogging? Well it's a little thing called I HATE FINALS IN THE SUMMERTIME. I'm trying my best to study, but it's just not happening, so I thought I'd take a little break and blog again. It's way more fun than studying.

So I guess I'll just give a little update on my life.

I currently love my jobs. I work full time in Utah State's new student orientation office and I love it! The people are so great and there is never a day that I dread going to work. My other job is amazing too. I get to travel around the state and check out service projects that 4 FFA chapters have done through a grant called "Living 2 Serve". Last weekend took me to parts of Utah that I've never been before and I sure wasn't disappointed. I put a ton of miles on that university vehicle but had such a good time.

I stayed in a little town called Alton with my friend who's working down in that area for the summer. Alton is about as picture perfect as it gets. With just over 100 people in the town, they are all so friendly and welcoming. I was on a run one night and ended up stopping and talking to this older man for about a half hour. He said that I was welcome back any ol' time I wanted...I think I might take him up on that offer :).



This picture really doesn't do a justice, it's just too hard to see. But this town was so cute. It's located about a half an hour south of Panquitch and an hour East of Cedar City.


One of the cutest parts about this town were the "Stop" signs.


It was so much fun to visit the Enterprise, Long Valley and Delta FFA Chapters and check out their awesome projects. I couldn't believe that I was getting paid to do it!

And while I'm thinking about it, here's a little picture of Kole and I, (especially for you, Angela) who I am hoping stays awake tonight while driving home. He's baling hay right now and not only has an hour drive home, but is leaving for a family camping trip this weekend that he'll have to drive to tomorrow. So thanks, Kole, for keeping me up worried all night!! :) (just another excuse to not study hehe)


I hope you all have a great 4th of July Weekend! Watch lots of fireworks, eat lots of watermelon, and enjoy the warm weather :)

Hey, my cousin and her family (at least SOME of them--she had 14 kids) live in Alton!! They make up almost 1/5 of the town!! If you met any "Heatons" that's them! They LOVE it!

BTW: Who is this Kole?? ;o}

Robin that's so cool! Haha yes, the Heatons are everywhere! My friend is actually a Heaton from Emery county and their family has a ranch in that area. And Kole is the guy that I've been dating for a while :)
