Wish List...

Here are some things that I would love to purchase...but my bank account causes me to think otherwise

For now I spend my hard earned moola on this stuff

I love being so "grown-up"

Ashes to ashes.

I know that I have been lacking with a post...and here would be the place where I would write out a big long excuse...but there isn't one.

On a totally different note, I was looking through pictures from Chris/ty's wedding on John Keatley's website and I found this picture with Grandma.

I must say it caught me off guard. My eyes welled up with tears and I thought of a song by Jason Harwell called "A Nice Day for a Blue Suit"

It's a tribute to his Grandmother. I found it comforting.

Brandma...

We miss you.

It shakes your brain!

On the 20th of July my dad took Jac and I to the drag races at Pacific Raceways. Talk about INCREDIBLE. It was probably to most fun I have had in a long time. We had great seats and some awesome orange ear plugs. It was most likely the BEST place to people watch ever. There are some characters out there.

Here are some sweet pictures of the cars and such.


Here is a picture of the Young Life pro stock car. With the new logo that I don't like.


Here is a shot of the pro stock cars racing.



Here is a snapshot of John Force racing. Any girl that races like Ashley Force is totally legit and deserves a shout out on the blog.


Here is a picture of how close we were to the action.


Here is a shot of the coolest car there. I have wanted a car like this for as long as I can remember. It's pretty much boss.


Before you watch this video make sure that you have your volume up and get ready to experience drag racing at it's best...at least a nikon camera best.



This is a video of the pro stock racing. I am amazed at how fast they change gears. Hello...

I'm such a bad blogger...

Hey there...

I know I keep promising that I will post and blah blah blah...but I still don't have internet at my house and it is way too busy at work to try to post anything from my laptop.

So I apologize for not keeping everyone updated on my life.

What have I been doing lately:

* Had 3 or so events at work (only one had a bad turnout but I won't let that get me down!)
* Went to Hawaii for a family vacation
* Dreaming up a backpack trip through Australia (in about a year and a half)
* Learned that my favorite drink is a tie between a strawberry margarita from El Sombrero's and Piña Colada's
* Found a new and refreshed love for my family
* Got a sweet tan
* Joined the Todd Beamer Young Life team (I am SUPER excited to jump back in this year!)
* Decided it's time to give in and buy a Mac...

I will try and buckle down and post something soon...
