Wow! Do I need to catch up

So I realize that it has been awhile since I last blogged. I'm sorry to say that I will have to stop the "do something new everyday" entries as a lot of things are going on in my life. I will though continue to look to do new things continually though. I must say though, those who thought I couldn't last a month... I made it for 6 months!!! But here are some things that I have been doing the past 3 weeks (presented in bullet point form and sporadic pictures):

• Took work off just for a "mental day"
• Taught my supervisor how to do something on her computer e-mail without really knowing how to do it myself. (luckily it was successful)
  
• Decided the morning of to travel with my friend, Krystal, to Arizona for the weekend (plus a few more days) ... sorry no pictures of the trip, I forgot to take pictures... again!
• Stayed in Snowflake, Arizona for a few days... that is a beautiful and peaceful place, I've only been there once before and that was about 7 years ago for the Temple open house. That trip was just a quick trip as well.
• Bought a Universal Television Remote (mine has decided to choose when it wants to work and not work... became really annoying)
• Had 8 additional people (the amazing Sharp family) stay in my 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment for a couple days (did I mention 1 bathroom). It was fun and everyone had enough space to sleep. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the sleeping arrangement.
• Went on a hike with the Sharps to Stewart Falls (here come the pictures... aren't you excited!)

There were some beautiful flowers, trees and bugs that we were able to see on the hike

The views on the hike were amazingSo was the group going on the hikeWe all felt like super heroes when we made it to the top

• Went and saw Kung Fu Panda with 6 kids! (I recommend this movie... it is hilarious!)
• Performed my version of opera for the kids as I drove the Suburban home from the movies
• Celebrated with my family my Grandma's 80th Birthday!!!! She looks amazing for only being 80. I'm glad we have the young gene's in our family :) - here come the pictures
  

I was able to see my newest nephew, Calvin, again after he's been away for 2 months!!! He's REALLY cute and talented :)

I think I may be retitling my blog "why my nephew, Calvin, is one of the cutest and smartest guys around" Here he is with his tigger. This kid is only 3 months old!!! yet another reason....Here he is again with is mom, my cool dad, and beautiful Grandma

• Went to my sister's ward to see my really cute nephew, Calvin, be blessed. He didn't cry at all, and in fact he laughed and smiled at his dad. After we had a family luncheon.

• Made some sporadic yet INCREDIBLE nachos for a luncheon... by the way my brother-in -law, Trevor, makes some killer guacamole!
• Ran 10 MILES!!! - unfortunately it was only on the treadmill.... but I did it!
  
• Managed to go to work after spending the holiday break with family (aka: receiving very little sleep, in addition to the adventurous embarked upon during the past several weeks of little sleep).
• Bought an external hard drive
• Gave my 2 week notice at work
• Made a decision to move to Arizona in 2 weeks
• Accepted two job offers.. yes 2!
  
• Am slowly starting to pack my apartment and am wondering why I have so much stuff!
• Rented a moving truck... and was able to develop my bartering skills
• Am realizing that I am embarking on a new phase in my life as I am closing this chapter in my life and will begin a new one.
