Park City Fire Department

My cute (single) cousin is a fire fighter for Park City, UT. What a cool profession! For UEA weekend we went up to Midway and spent the weekend there. On the last day of the trip we drove over to Park City and spent the afternoon at the fire station. It was very fun and we got to do some pretty cool stuff. But sorry my lips are sealed- I was lucky enough to do some pretty cool things at the station. Last thing on my list- I really want to ride in a fire truck... One day it will happen. Below are just a few of the pictures out of hundreds (literally) that we took that weekend. Of course all of the wonderful photos were taken by my cousin Katie.

All of us in the fire truck... wearing legit headsets (is that what there called?)

Cousin Eric- did I mention he's single!

The whole gang! Thanks for the tour Eric...

portland

Portland, Oregon.

It's beautiful here.

I L O V E it!

My sister's apartment is so unique and full of personality and charm. Portland- definitely different then Utah. Very different people (where do they get their inspiration on fashion... eek!!!). When I was at the grocery store earlier today- everyone was staring at me! Do I really stand out? Do I not look like I could fit in to the "Portland" crowd. It was very odd.

My sister lives right above a very happening area. It's called the North District I believe?? There is a Starbucks right across from her apartment complex and a Pottery Barn just a block away. It's heaven here and such a sweet location.

I am anxiously awaiting our adventures coming up this week!

I LOVE her new Album Battlefield.

Check it out... Believe me it's good.

Confession: I listen to it a lot.

My favorite songs off the album:

#1 Walking on Snow (which might be my theme song for winter!)

#4 S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)

just started up again

I just started up again at Utah Valley University! I am so EXCITED to be going to school this fall semester. Thank you to everyone who has helped me in preparing for this (Chris and Katie, Grammy, Bevan, Wendy). Classes started last week and I am so pumped for the classes I will be taking. To be honest just walking around the campus makes me feel cool. It really is cool to go to school! Let this be a lesson...

WISH ME LUCK!! :)
