So, this august the Foell side of our family had a family reunion in Yellowstone. we had sooo much fun seeing each other after being apart for the last FOUR YEARS! It was great to see everyone and we had a blast hiking, visiting geysers, hiking, swimming, hiking, eating, hiking.... and did i mention hiking? :) well, here are the pictures.

So for those of you who dont' know, i stayed in provo this summer.. it was SO MUCH FUN!! Here are some random pictures from all my adventures and fun times with friends.. I don't have the energy to post about each individual one.. soo..... this is what you get, take it or leave it.. the funny/sarcastic posts will come back soon. i promise. Until then... here are millions of pictures to tie you over for another little while... ENJOY!!

p.s. all these pictures are in a backwards order... so you might want to start at the bottom and work up.. :)

Me at the natural waterslides.. so fun, but the cold water up the nose was lame.. as you can see, i'm trying to prevent that in this picture..
Holly came to visit for some reason.. not really sure why, but she came to the natural waterslides with us... it was awesome!Emma, Mom, and Ethan came to visit in june i think... so of course we had to have a sleep over! Emma and i had some real bonding moments this week, and to top it off, mom caught it on film... precious aye?
we straightened emma's hair as part of this precious weekend. (this is obviously the before picture)
We went and saw hannah montana the movie to complete our bonding experience..

And last but not least.......
Basically any waking moment that i was home from playing and adventuring was spent like this: Facebook and skyping.. Ben is the lucky sucker who had to talk to me in this picture, victims also included: Aubrey Goold, and John Tucker (friend who just spend the last year in ITALY!)

k-town, USA

So... after 3 months, i'm finally updating... Kinda. so what have you all missed in my life?? hmm... Well, july treated me well. I had an unexpected visitor around the 10th and had so much fun seeing him. then i went to visit some of my friends from winter semester down in Kanab, UT for pioneer day.. We did fireworks, the typical tourist things as you will see in the pictures, and got my hair done by ben's mom. oh yeah, and we rode horses.. and watched the parade.. and did a lot of things.. so... all in all, i'm swallowing my pride and saying OUT LOUD... I actually really like kanab. That's about all i will allow myself to say right now, but if you'd like details on why, just ask. :) here are some fun pictures from that weekend.. My friend Jessica came with me and we had so much FUN! thanks for coming with me jess. i look forward to our next road trip. :)

Thanks everyone for a great time!

the VITAL things in life..

hey everyone.. it's me. duh. (guess i don't have to say that since it is MY blog..) Oh well, ANYWAY.
just in the last 2 seconds, i have realized how VITAL some things are in my life... this is a blog that talks about those things..

first, pictures for my blog. I don't understand who would post a blog without pictures.. It is basically against my religion to have a post without some, but sometimes you can't help it.. I'm at work right now, and we are closed for devotional, so while we are closed i decided to blog.. but guess what..? i don't have MY computer, so i can't post any fun pictures from my life recently..

Second, GREAT MUSIC. so we all know that Michael Jackson died last week, and while we're here at work, his public memorial is on EVERY major News Station EVER. :] so we're watching that.. and it's so entertaining that i can barely blog because i can't take my eyes off of it... [Good thing i learned to type without looking freshman year of high school.. (Thanks Mr. Ousley)] ANYWAY, so yeah, GREAT MUSIC is a vital thing in my life because it kinda fills in those empty moments where you think nothing can make life better.. and then an MJ song comes on, and life is good again.. ;) (same goes for Rascal Flatts, but MJ DID DIE, so we have to show a little love for his music..)

Third, Hair products. I cannot stress this enough. I tried a new one today, i'll let you know how it goes.. It smells DIVINE, but it was a gift from a girlfriend of mine and I'm too cheap to buy it so we'll see if i get hooked. but overall, Hair gel/spray/mouse/clips/bands/etc... are VITAL to the beast that is my hair..

fourth, work. As lazy as i can be sometimes, WORKING (in any way) is vital to my life.. there are times where i feel sooo satisfied with my life because I am either helping people at work, or working to make my house clean or even yardwork for the parents... although i may whine and complain, I still think that work is vital to my life.. whether i like it or not.

Well, that's all for now. oh wait.. and FOOD. FOOD is SOOOO VITAL to my life, not just for survival, but for happiness.. :]

alright, bye for now..Like i said, I'm not on MY computer, (oh yeah, AND POPSICLES!-they're the BOMB!)
