crapity crap crap

yesterday i was pulled over for speeding for the first time ever and got my first ticket. i was out in maricopa working on some observation hours and i was following the therapist in my car, so i assumed that she would be going the speed limit. nope. i was ticketed for going 46 in a 35 zone. let's just say i was more upset than any normal person should be, cut my day short, and headed home for some coconut crunch ice cream and a few episodes of king of the hill and the office to cheer me up. i also got cited for not having current insurance since the toyota's insurance accidentally ended up in my glove box instead of the mitsubishi insurance. luckily i can just fax a copy of that in, but i'm still pretty blue about getting the speeding ticket. look out defensive driving school...here i come.

Jolley Family Reunion

This past weekend we had our yearly Jolley Family Reunion up in Pinetop Lakeside. Cory and I headed up there Friday and came home Sunday. All in all it was a good time. It was nice to get out of the valley's heat and spend some time with the family. Good times.

Weekday Trip

Cory and I decided to head up to Pinetop Tuesday night, since he didn't have work on Wednesday. We had to come back Wednesday but we're going back up tomorrow to spend the weekend up there for our Jolley Family Reunion. On the way up we got to stop at my parent's place by Hagler Creek and check it out. They've been remodeling it all summer so I was anxious to see how it's coming along. We brought Kenna and Kai with us and our little pups too. There's a creek right down from the house so Cory thought he'd try to get some fishin squeezed in. No such luck since the dogs kept playing in the water and chasing the fish away. Bummer. It was still a good trip though. Kenna and Kai even got to shoot a BB gun for the first time. Kenna actually hit the can on one of her first shots...it took me more shots than I could count.

Called To Serve

Jake opened his call this past Saturday. He'll be serving in the Copenhagen Denmark mission and reports November 18th. I'm so proud of him! I know he'll be a great missionary! (Linds put the video of him opening his call on their blog, so check it out there)

Yum Yum

Last night I made Cory a yummy dinner. We had pasta with peppered alfredo, grilled lemon herb chicken, veggie salad, and chocolate cherry cannolis for dessert. I'm such a good house wife:)

Wicked

On Friday my mom took Cami, Lindsay, Kelly Huntington, and I to see Wicked at Gamage. It was fun to have a girls night out. Wicked was ok...honestly, I'm not a musical person. I have to say it was better than I expected. The music was good and the actors were good...I just am not into musicals at all. Oh well. It was still really fun to get out and do something with the ladies. The only bummer was I had to get up early the next day for my AEPA exam. I'm hoping that went well because I do not want to have to take it again. Let's keep our fingers crossed that I passed:)
