Didn't want the day to end...

I was so excited for today!!! Last Monday, I heard that my cousin Jared would be in Lancaster (which is two hours away from me) for a tournament and since I didn't get to see him the last time and completely upset, I went for it!! I went with my friend Brittany. I was excited all week for Saturday to come--I could hardly work on Friday I was so excited. So, Brittany and I got up at 5:45 am to hit the road to be there by 9:00 am for the first game. After the game, we all drove around (jared, sarah, me, brittany and makenna) and enjoying ourselves. We then went back to the game and sat through two of them. I of course, am burnt like a tomato and I refused to put sunblock on. I look like a tomato and my legs hurt so bad I can't bend them. We all then went out to dinner and then the girls headed to the outlet mall!! After that, brittany and I took off.
I didn't want the day to end because I had been looking forward to it all week and it made me realize that I miss my famdamly very much--but I know they will always be there for me.

Changes/Excitement

I started my new job on Monday...and I was super uber nervous! I was really overwhelmed and stressed about the whole thing. I even forgot my waterbottle at home and couldn't get anything to drink all day! I came out dehydrated--ugh. So, at the end of the day, I got in the car and just started bawling and thinking "I hate my job" then I looked at my phone and saw that I had two new voicemails. I was listening to them and got a message that I really needed to hear and when I was in the middle of listening to it--my cousin called and it was just what I needed. Of course, I was acting like a blubbering idiot.
Its going to take time with everything. I'm going to be working on it.

Then, this weekend, my friend brittany and I are going to Lancaster to see my cousin play in a tournament. I haven't seen them since February so I'm pretty psyched. Pics. will come!!

GIRLS CAMP 2009!!!

This past week I had the opportunity to go to the stake Girls Camp. I had such a blast. Kris Eden was the stake camp director (REALLY good family friends of ours) and did an awesome job! The theme was "Light It Up" which was about how to be a light in peoples lives and how to be a good influence and that we all have lights within us. I think Camp was really what I needed this week. Honestly, I have never felt the spirit before and especially at camp. It was just an uplifting week. It wasn't until Wednesday night during the night hike that I had a comforting feeling come over me and had butterflys in my stomach because I knew I should go on a mission. I've regretted not doing things in my life and I know I would regret not going on one. Anyway, here are some pics. of camp....WAHOO!!!!




Abbie and I





My Mom and Aunt Jill








HAHA..Emilee and I




Emilee, Megan and I (best girls EVER)






I did a little slideshow of camp with a song that went with the theme. It wasn't the Camp song but its SO awesome and everytime I drove somewhere I listened to it...ITS AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone from my old ward and it was so nice to see that those friendships haven't changed one bit..yes, there were times where i was crazy but who isn't?? Lifes short so you gotta make the best of it. My goal for this week was to have fun and I achieved that goal. I do miss being in the YW program because it was such a great experience. I also am thankful for the "lights" in my life that have never left my side and who will continue to be there for me no matter what!!

PARTY!!! :)

Alright, so for the past 4 days I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. On Thursday, I started my job at PSU and helped organize my friends surprise graduation party. So, Friday I go help decorate for this party at 7:00 pm and don't get done until 10:00 pm. Her mom needed some help with getting the rest of the food so I told her I would help. At 10:00 we left the grounds, dropped off our friend, went to Walmart, the gas station..by the time we got to the house (my friends moms) it was quarter til midnight!! While at the gas station I was super uber hungry so I got a $5.00 footlong and a liter of Dr. Pepper. We made 2 salads, a cake, deviled eggs..etc. by the time we were done it was 2 am and we decided not to go to sleep because we had to get up in 2 1/2 hours to head back over to the party site and get things ready..so we stayed up and watched Michael Jackson videos on MTV, and chatted. The craziest thing that I did that night was shower at 3 am!! When I came back downstairs I knew I should try and get some sleep so I fell asleep for 45 minutes. We then went to the grounds, set stuff up, went to graduation, and oh yeah, her mom got her a LIMO!!! I was so excited I was invited to come in the Limo and ride around it was flippin SWEET!!! Then, we showed up at the party and ate some grub..I was so flippin' tired I didn't even enjoy myself so I left early. But, I explained to Ciara that I was tired and didn't want to ruin her party so I was just going to go. Like I'm going to now...TTYL

News

Yesterday I get a call from a dentist office that I applied at last week and had an interview scheduled for today. I go in with a smile on my face and am nervous like there is no tomorrow. The one dentist came in, interviewed me, and at the end said "I'm going to go get the other dentist but I like you and I want to hire you" the other dentist came in and asked me questions and then told me "your nice I'd like to hire you" BOOM.....KAITLYN FINALLY HAS A JOB!! NOW MY PARENTS CAN GET OFF MY BACK!!!! WAHOO!!!!

New Do

I FINALLY got a new haircut and I love it!!! I look like a twenty year old instead of a 19 year old with a 13 year old haircut!!

Home Videos

So, I was just watching some home videos (I could sit and watch them FOREVER--okay, not forever but I like to look back on the memories..i know, i'm cheesy). I was just watching ones from when me and my sister were little and having idaho famdamly get togethers and couldn't believe how everyone has changed and how amazing they still are and how mucho I miss them! It got to the point where I had to turn it off because it had my gpa moss in them and it just brought emotion...I miss him :(
Today in church someone in the branch was talking on family and she said (she is far away from her family) that she was looking at pictures of when her and her cousins were small and was thinking back on the memories and she stated that through the years you change your looks, style, where you live etc. but you never change who you are. Its true. All these years that I have lived away from my Idaho family they never changed who they are and each time I see each one of them, the appreciation for them and the love grow stronger. Love you and Miss you!
