Yesterday I was lucky enough to take the day off and go 4 wheeling with my niece and dad. It was her first time and she did great (more pics to come)...
On our way we passed the fire that was in Corner Canyon in Draper. I had to take a picture because from this angle it looks like the whole city is on fire...
Sorry, I went a little out of control with the posting, but there has been so much that has happened lately. This week has been non-stop, I am finally starting to feel like I can breathe... I just wanted to share a couple of upcoming things that I am excited about...
Tonight I have a good friend of mine's reception and then I am going out to party with a bunch of friends. Tomorrow is another party night. Sunday my neice will be in town so we are going to have a family get together. Monday I am taking off of work to go 4 wheeling. Wednesday I leave for Cali. Then we'll skip ahead to my birthday where I will be attending the Deron Williams fundraiser (can't wait to see him golf) and then the next weekend is Vegas!!!
Wow! And to think there are actually a couple of "little" things that compare to all of that... You will hear about it soon enough... :-)
I am going Elephant hunting!!! (It's not how you think...)
Tara and Kyle look so cute, why did I have to make a goofy face? Oh wait, I am drunk!!!
Contrary to how it looks, I really have a shirt on... This is my impression of a duck!
Tara and Kyle doing their best imitation of the Captain Morgan pose... 
Again, what is up with the goofy face making? I should not be allowed anywhere near a camera when drinking...So has anyone been watching our amazing men's olympic team? One away from gold baby!!! But when the roster is made up of Kobe, LeBron, Carmello, D-Wade, CP3, Kidd, Bosh, Prince, Redd, Dwight, and our very own Boozer and D-Will, we shouldn't think anything less. These men are all amazing as single players but putting them together as a team, is unstoppable!!!
I know there are 11 other guys on the team, but everyone knows who my favorite is. Deron is definitely one of the best point guards in the NBA, he has amazing cross-over skills, and I love his undying will to win...
So, on Saturday I had my MRI... I am guessing that everything is fine since they didn't tell me to get to a hospital right away. It was definitely a different experience, but I think I could have stayed in there all day. Except for the injection part... Didn't really care for that...
Sunday I went 4 wheeling with my dad and had a BLAST!!! I have a new favorite toy!!!
Lastly, I know many people out there like to donate to wonderful causes... Deron Williams' Point of Hope Foundation provides support and hope to those who have cancer and to other people in need (http://www.deronwilliams.net/pointofhope/foundation/). Next month he will be holding his 2nd annual celebrity golf classic. I am extremely happy to say that I will be attending this event. 
So yesterday (8/7/08) was my friend Monika's bridal shower... The beautiful bride and her fiance, Kurt, are getting married on 8/22/08. They have been together for 3 years and are such a cute couple... Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness and love!!!
Me, Monika (the beautiful bride-to-be), and Natty
Me and Monika... 
Monika and Natty, these two could be sisters!!!So guess what was announced today!>!>!> The 2008-2009 season schedule for the Jazz!!! Yay!
Pre-season starts on Tue 10/7 in LA (vs the Lakers...)
Then the first game that I will attend in my new seats will be against my 2nd favorite team in the NBA (let's go Raja!!!)
The official season opener for the Jazz is against the Nuggets 10/29/08 here in SLC!!!
If you can't tell, I am pretty excited! After watching the exhibition games for the summer olympics the last few days I forgot how much I actually miss watching...
Let's go Jazz!!!
So, I am really getting sick of defending my "name" but once again I am needing to.
First, I just want to make it clear that I am a die hard Jazz fan. It did start with the ex but it has continued without him. I can't imagine life without basketball. Even when the games are on TV, I will sit by myself in the room and watch, correcting the commentators on the play by play. I don't pretend to watch, quiz me, I actually know and fully understand what is going on. Ronnie Price and Paul Millsap are the nicest guys you will ever meet and that just makes being a Jazz fan even better!
Second, for all of you that were thinking it took forever for my divorce to be finalized, it did not. It was filed right after separation, and finalized in February (thanks to a delay from the court, stupid Utah county). I keep getting word that I was the hold up on the divorce, that it wasn't finalized until May... Well, I wouldn't have been able to remove the ex from my insurance as of March 1st if it wasn't final until May (wonderful rules of Regence BCBS of Utah). So there's the truth, divorce final in February. I could get you the exact date and a copy of the decree if you want...
Third, along with the above information that a little birdie shared with me, it looks like the ex is getting remarried. I would love to call him and congratulate him but of course it would cause a downward spiral of commotion... OMG, she is calling him, she must want to get back with him!!! Ugh, that couldn't be any farther from the truth. I am truly happy for him. He must have found a wonderful girl... Congrats to you both!
So now that I have vented... Let's hit the road jack, it's time for a road trip, before Vegas in September!!!!
