I am feeling one with what is today.
I have a goal of being 125 pounds by the end of this year. I am kind of scared to put that out there and say it out loud but I am gonna do it.
I have been riding my bike lots and I need to get a helmet so I can ride it to work.
We had a fun Father's day at our house. Kelton is the official "orange juice maker" when we make breakfast.
I just won my bid on ebay and snagged a pair off puma sneakers for just 12$.
Yeah this is what is on my mind right now :)

Obama-tastic
Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates.
The tally put Obama over the top Tuesday, ahead of the results from the day's final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The Illinois senator becomes the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.
Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic contest and now faces Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona for the presidency.

And may I just be the first to say: w00t!!

Whitney reunion 2008
We are on the road right now headed back from Panaca Nevada. Luckly I have a super-sweet phone that let's me get on the internet in mid-utah. Dad just blew a tire on the pop-up camper which doesn't surprise me because he was going 90mph and those tires are kinda old. It is a good thing John and Eddie were there to help him get the new tire on.
The reunion itself was really fun. It is nice to see Kelton run around with cousins and get muddy. I can't wait till him and Maya are having a ball at Moon Lake. In Panaca, we stayed at this place called Cathedral Gorge. It is the bottom of a prehistoric lake so the rock structures were AWESOME.(I will post pictures later) Kelton is part spider monkey it think because he was climbing everything he could. He scales mountains faster then me :) He is so tall that sometimes I forget he is only three when he is playing with the other kids. I feel so blessed to have a family that is so close knit and sincerely love each other. Even now we are caravanning with Brenda, Laurie, Mason, Eddie, Erin, mom, dad and my family. I am not gonna lie when I say I missed my brothers and sisters. You all missed out on sweet t-shirt tie-dye and yummy banana boats. Also, I talked Uncle Clark into letting me drive his giant horn-wielding yellow truck named Big Bird. It took me a day but after him testing me in his off-roading '76 jeep (manual) I was approved to drive the big truck. Little cousins piled in the back and Dad, John, Laurie and Clark were in the cab. I learned all about the air brakes and the chair suspension and there was a sweet camera to help me back it out. Once we got out onto the desert road and there was a straight away Clark told me to floor it. Talk about power! I had kinda forgotten about the children in the back until I heard squealing, it got me to slow down. On the way back to camp I wore Clark's hat, it was awesome. It just gets me pumped to see my family next :)

A little bit about a lot o bit
So this last little while with my family is:
Kelton got to go to the Dr. and get his ear checked and it is healing nicely. He had a ruptured ear drum and it was really sad. The Dr. said if he get sick at all we should go take him in since he has such narrow ear canals, poor kid.
John went to the Dr. this week for his back. He has been having intense upper back pain and the knot is slowly working it's way out. Today he feels better then he has in a week and a half. Since our mattress was kinda crappy we decided to buy a new one and I added a new frame in there too :) I have never bought a bed before and it was lots of fun.
Having John out of commission was really awful, especially trying to move a bed without him. I am really grateful he is getting better.
Kelton is growing and learning so much. Lately, at night I lay out his clothes for him so he can dress himself in the mornings. It is so cute to see him cry and whine about every piece of clothing he has to put on in the morning but it is worth it when he has that satisfied grin on his face after. After playing late in grandma's sprinklers this week I didn't have time to layout clothes, it was just straight to bed. In the morning after I got out of the shower Kelton was awake running around the house with his sword in his muddy shirt and pants from the day before and it really was sad to make him take them off and put on new ones.
I got promoted at work this month. I have been making a lot of changes in my company to create order and clarity for everyone. I guess the CEO noticed and after months of me working hard and showing up with lists of things to do to improve my department and employee task tracking. It is nice to be a Manager now but also a little stressful. Before I got promoted it was like I was doing extra, now it seems like, am I doing enough? Another strange thing is I seem to want to be in dress up clothes all the time because I always have some board meeting at the GL Foundation or what if I am introduced as a manager to a client, or what if I have to meet with my personal clients? I miss not caring if I am just in a hoodie or if my pink hair is touched up.
Last night John asked me what my most favorite 3 things were that I did in 2007. I would have to say my number one was Going to Alaska with John And hanging out with Jessie, Sarah, Maya, Sophie and Mom. Seeing Sophie get born was crazy awesome. Second would have to be going up to Portland and seeing Preston and Holly and going to an Alias concert and meeting him (I walked down the isle to an Alias song). Third is last summer when John and I went to Fish lake with his socially challenged dad and ended up getting ditched so I just hung with John in the lake jumping off little cliffs and floating on tubes till it was almost dark.
I am pretty excited about this year so far. Especial the rally we are gonna have at Moon Lake!

Spring fever
I am getting itchy feet and I wanna leave UT. Not move away or anything but I have found myself looking up flights over and over the last 5 days. Jake, Reagan, Peet, and Kristen are coming into town next month and I am pretty sure I can hold out till then. Maybe I should just hit the mountains and enjoy the beauty of UT instead of wanting to get away. Or plan a weekend to visit Moab... that feels like a different state sometimes. It is funny because Sam moved back to UT and Allison came with him and I haven't even visited their house. The only reason I haven't is because it seems like a lot of driving to do since they don't have a car.... HOW LAZY AM I? I wanna drive out of the state but I can't find the time to drive to Sandy and back? Maybe that is my first step to traveling this summer, going to Sandy. GO me.
