excitement.

I have more of a social life because school's out and I like that; I will say that I wish I was working right now. I do miss that. I am looking forward to laser tag/bowling/arcade (I love arcade games :) ) with some people tomorrow night. Wednesday, I get to see a friend that I haven't seen since around March...it's been way too long! I have so much to catch up with her on. I think we're going to hang out downtown and do a bunch of stuff. It should be fun. Plus, she's a cell phone guru and when I told her I got a smartphone for Christmas, she freaked out! She's going to help me find a case for it :) She's one of my old roommates and I miss her a lot. We had a lot of good times and we were really close. We talk/text quite a bit, but it's always fun to get together. I'm way excited for that. Then on Thursday, I'll probably hang out with my other friend when she gets back from St. George. Friday, I think I am going down to Price to visit my grandparents, which I always love. My grandpa will probably take me to see an ice fishing tournament in Scofield. I love Scofield and when I'm older, after my stint away from here and when I am actually in my career and making money, I hope to own a cabin there :) It's funny, when they were up here the other day, I told them we were going to it, and my gami was like, "That'll be like watching the ice melt. Super fun!" We laughed after that comment; I love that she can be sarcastic sometimes. I sure do love my family. If nothing else, it will just be a fun drive with my gramps. He loves going on drives--I think that might be where I get MY love of going on drives from :) If I'm not back for New Years, that's fine, if so--well then, I don't know what I'll do. My friends seem to always want to be with family, so I usually feel lame on that holiday. Every year I tell myself it will be different, but I don't know when it will be haha.

Today I rode one of our new horses and it was kinda trippy! I've only ridden once or twice since my horseback riding accident in 2004. I wasn't scared from that, but I definitely had to get used to the idea, and it was bareback--I haven't ridden that way since a while before my accident! She was super calm and I loved it once I got the feel of it again :) I wanted to ride Red, but my mom said that my dad needed to be here (Red hasn't been ridden for 6 or so years) He'd probably be fine, but his feet are foundering and that's never a good thing, but I have the go-ahead from the vet to ride him. He's getting to be an old man! I felt bad because I could tell that he felt left out when we were riding the other horses. Hopefully I get to ride him soon!

ps. I need to say this--I hate when people post things that get a little too personal on facebook and other sites, like pictures of pregnancy tests--really, people? That's kinda gross. I don't know, maybe it's just weird to me because it's something I would never do. You can share the news, but do it in a different way. Put what you would write as the caption for said photo or something like that. I also hate it when people say (or generally type) "Just saying" after almost everything. It's just a pet peeve, but it drives me crazy!
