Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day Weekend and my dads birthday and to start birthday week for me we went camping at Rucker Lake. Here is a pic of me, Lauren, and Skyler! I missed them all summer.

old photos...

college GRAD

I graduated from college the other day. Got my Bachelors of Science in Health. It was a normal day, woke up, went to my last class, took a test, went to say bye to those at work, did my clean check, packed my room, had dinner with two of the best roomies anyone could ask for, and left Idaho. I stopped in Utah before heading home to California, and had a fabulous time. I came home to tons of signs saying, CONGRATS, ADIOS IDAHO, etc.

Now I just need to unpack.

The Proposal...

I just want to take a minute and blog about what I want my proposal to be like! Not that it is going to happen anytime soon, I think. I have the go big or go home idea. Go big- propose to me at a sporting event, or concert, on the jumbotron or light banners (see photo!), a blump, through Sports Center, by doing this I am more likely to say yes. Go home- propose to me the car, at the gas station, the grocery store- something simple like it comes up in conversation. I do not want flowers, I do not need a garden or beautiful scenery, or candles, and he doesnt even need to be in a tux. If its something too cheesy and the way that everyone gets engaged at BYU I am most likely going to say No, and try again. Just a future warning.

I also remember that when I started college my parents said that if I made it through without getting married, I can have Steak at my wedding. Well, heres to the last month of my undergrad! I dont forget anything, especially when steak is involved.

LAKERS WON!

This wont be an extensive post. But I just want to point out that the LAKERS WON. I have watched every game, every team, since round one- faithfully. (And to be 100% honest- I wanted the Trail Blazers to take it- but that didnt go far.) And regular season games, for certain teams. I have read all online articles, and have always given my full attention to Sportscenter. I was disowned from my family. I got threating text messages. I feel in love with the Kobe/ Lebron commercials. I lost sleep, and maybe some friends. And I sure as heck, shared all my problems with my dad on that game, when Orlando got their one win. But look who gets the last laugh now----- ME!

LAKERS WON. LAKERS WON.

Grandpa Dolman

So this afternoon I met for the first time my Grandpa Dick Dolman (my dad's dad.). He is so charming and wonderful. He was on a long roadtrip from Alaska and took a detour to come see me in Idaho. We went out to lunch and spent a long time talking. He and I have so many things in common. And I see pieces of me, Abbie, Rheba, and my dad in him. It was a fabulous way to spend my afternoon.

Wheres Rheba?

Finding Rheba this summer might be harder than finding Waldo. She is leaving for her Mandrains Drum Corps tour, tomorrow I think. She will be missed. And maybe a party will be thrown. (j/k Rheb!) Course, I wont realize that she is gone, till I go back home at the end of July. I am very proud of her, and her ability to like band, and play so many instruments. I just dont know why she was to be a band geek, ALL SUMMER LONG. Have fun on your tour!!!!!

This photo was strategically picked: Wheres Rheba?

I think that this was at a pre- tour camp.
