Today I am at a thinking point in my life-- where I am trying to figure out if what I am doing is really what I am supposed to doing in my life or if its time to further my education and go back to school... I love my job and the people I work with but with just coming back from El Paso I really have been think if this is really where I should be in my life.... Maybe this was just a great jumping off position for me and now its time to venture to something else... OR maybe this is really what I am supposed to be doing my whole life.... Ahhhh, I don't even know if this is making sense I am just rambling-- but anyone have some advice?? Do I continue to work my heart out and stay here where I am comfortable but NOT incredibly happy or try going back to school or a new path but something that will make me feel at home?!?!?!?!
Just a frustrated thinker... :)

El Paso, El Paso, El Paso.....
Well Delaney and I are coming to a close of our trip, and I have to say I am WAY sad to go...... Where else can we get fresh flour tortillas, swim in a bucket of queso and listen to some sweet music other than the Taco Cabana.... or basically be in Mexico without even crossing the border and be able to buy everything at our leisure.... where else can we drive out to my moms school to give Mr Ammato is double nickel, or put together teacher kits..where else is there a Cattlemans Steakhouse....where else can you go to Cielo Vista Mall for tax free weekend and meet Latoya at the Layne Bryant...Wal Mart-- enough said... where else can you drive for over an hour and be almost in Mexico,in New Mexico, and Texas and never stop laughing.... where else can we get a Fushia Kiss and Pedicure of Tina, or a kiss on the lips from Nana?? Where ELSE can we eat my dads taco, go to church with Sister Billings, go to Tommy's reception and SET up 10 minutes before it starts, eat 3 FULL meals of tacos in one day.... None other than the great, amazing El Paso, TEXAS....

KENNY BABY!!!
So let me just tell you that Kenny Rogers... STILL has it going on, and pretty much rocks!!!!! I would go see him again and again!!!
Here is just the run down of the weekend:
FRIDAY we left for Salt Lake and went to the Hilton, where we stayed for the night... ( I am still convinced that Paris was somewhere in the hotel!!!) We went and saw Kim at her house... then went shopping and got our SWEET outfits that we were sure that Kenny would notice us!!!! After that we went to dinner at the Macaroni Grill, and desert at the Cheesecake Factory.... We did make an apperance at the pool and tried to get Susan in but she was too fast!!! After that it was in bed and good night!
SATURDAY it was back to the mall for some shopping and lunch then out to the Whites to change into our outfits before the BIG show.... Thanks Weston and Olivia for letting us come in on your day to change!!! It didn't take us long to drive there and so on the way we had many a talks and took some quizes from the Cosmo mag!!! It was great.... Once we got there it was on to gamble before dinner and KENNY!
6:00pm-- Dinner at the Rainbow Casino Buffet!
7:15pm-- Get to the Peppermill Concert Hall-- counting down the minutes till he comes on stage!!
7:55pm-- A very drunk man and his wife sit next to us-- and he asked us where we are from.... we tell him Logan and he continues through out the show to yell at us that we were from DELTA.... he was pretty hilarious!!!
8:00pm-- The big moment arrives and we sing our little hearts out!!!!! and closes the night with our best song we know!!! Island in the Stream!
It was such a good concert, and we were sad to see it end....
As we are getting back on the freeway to head home... Laney says lets stay another night... so after talking for a few minutes we agree and drive around to see which is the best deal... so we stayed at the RED GARTER for the night.... Hey maybe not the Hilton but perfect for what we needed!!! After gambling till about 1:00am-- ( I lost $10, and Trina and Laney both won about $80) we went back to the room and Susan got a burst of energy and was running and trying to hit the sprinkler on the ceiling...then was throwing ice at us and trying to hit the lamp shade!!! It was a great night FULL of laughs!!! DELLLTA!
Sunday it was get up and drive home... I think I speak for all of us when I say I was sad to see the weekend come to an end!!! BUT we did make a pack to do it every couple of months!!!! Thanks girls!!! Love ya!
Now this slide show is..... Pictures of our room at the Hilton... AND also what happens with Trina and I go check in and Susan and Laney are left in the car and get a hold of my camera.... SOME pictures... could not be posted on here due to the nature of them!!!

Family Reunion/Vacation/Get together
Well I just returned from my family vaction in Durango, CO.. It was a blast and we ALL had such a great time... here is how it went down...
Wednesday- Kristin, Brandon, Zach and I wanted to suprise my parents and everyone else and go down there first.... and so that was great we left about 9 or so in the morning and started what is supposed to be the 6 or 7 hour drive down... Well after 5 stop of road construction.... getting gas.... some more road construction, an accident that closed both sides of the highway... we finally made it 9 hours later.... Needless to say we were VERY happy to get there!!!! So we got the trailor set up and about that time, My parents, brother and Kennedy showed up.... so we helped them set up their trailor and just hung out!!!
Thursday- Both my sisters families showed up and we had yummy breakfast and then took the kids swimming, and just hung out, especially because we told ourselves there were going to be NO trips into the Wal-Mart!!!
Friday- ALL the boys went fishing, so that left us girls and the kids back at the camp... we played and got dirty and swam, went for walks.... Then that night we ALL went to the Bar D for dinner and to watch the Bar D wranglers... They did some new songs and it was hilarious.... Jack probably enjoyed it the most!!!!
Saturday- It was time for girls day out.. And let me tell you it was an adventure.... Who would of thought that 5 ladies dressed in the same shirt would of caused such a riot on the streets of Durango... We let me tell you, we got every comment from "Oh did they have a sale on those shirts", to " Do you guys sing and dance?", to "Oh look triplets" (keep in mind that there were 5 of us"... Anyways-- we went to the Farmers Market, went into some fun shops and then had lunch at Tequilas.... After that we went back to the camp and it was boys against girls in Jungle Ball at the pool.... Needless to say the boys won, but I do have to say that we did give up a good fight.... We did try everything though from putting the shoe in our swimsuits to trying to cheat... but nothing worked... those boys are just to strong!!! but we will get you NEXT time boys!!! You are going down!!!
Sunday- It was pack up, get some free pancakes at the cafe... and say goodbye to my parents, and drive home... this time it only took us 6 hours and it was great... on the way home we did pass by some polygamist houses... it was creapy!!!! but I really wanted to see some of them!!!
Anyways- I love my family... I can't see to get enough of them and I had a great time!! And to let everyone know... we still are famous and the picture is still in the Mild to Wild Brochure of us rafting!!! Woohooo!!!

After going home to shower and relax Kimber, Kenney and I headed to the Bee's game to see the CHICKEN!!! He was hilarious and it was sooo much fun!!!
Then at about 1:30AM or so I got a call from my mom but missed her call... so she called the house... and to our suprise.... MY PARENTS WERE IN TOWN!!!! Woohoooo!!! So we talked for a few minutes and then got to bed very very late....
Sunday we got up to go to church and my mom,Kennedy and I decieded to go listen to Jennise give her lesson... after a mishab with a very nice picture that I got my dad for Fathers Day (it fell off my roof and is not nowhere to be found... there goes $50 down the drain...) We made it back to the Sorenson's church in time to take the sacrament and then watch Kennedy do her part in Primary.... After that it was home for naps, relaxing and dinner and a drive back up to Logan!!!!
Thanks for the fun weekend!!!!
