Here's a picture of the purse I made yesterday. It's definitely not perfect but you can't tell that from the picture! Actually it turned out pretty good for a first attempt. Sorry the picture isn't great. My camera isn't the best.

Here's a couple of projects I've been working on this summer.

One more thing

One more thing before I get to write about it. My youngest sister Abby graduated from Skyline High School on June 1st. I can't believe that she is that old! She is planning on going to school at BYU-I in the fall. I'm not sure what my parents are going to do with everyone out of the house...probably rejoice! I just wanted to tell Abby Congratulations!

Also Joe's brother Allen graduated on May 27th from Kimberly High School. Congratulations Al! I Think that he is going to be going to CSI for a year and then serve an LDS mission.

Both of the graduations turned out good. Neither one of them tripped or anything! :-)

Katie Marie Johnson

If any of you would like to see pictures of my little sister Katie's wedding, I am going to post some links. Alisha Siddoway did her wedding pictures and did an amazing job. This is the link to the first post. And this one is for the rest of the pictures. Enjoy!

Blythe

I was cruzing the internet the other day and I found these really cool dolls called Blythe. The have changeable eyes and hair and lots of cool clothes. Too bad they're so expensive. If I had the money though I would be collecting these.

Finally Something New

I keep putting off posting anything because I wanted to put pictures in with it. All my pictures are on my home computer and really the only time I have to blog is at work. I know, it seems kind of backwards. So here I am at work again and I just decided I better post something anyway. Hopefully I can get pics up later.

School is out! Yay! This last semester went really well for me, thankfully. I finished the semester with really good grades and an A in clinic! I only have a year left now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This next year is going to be crazy. I think it will go by fast. I just keep thinking about how strange it will be to not be going to school anymore in a year. I will have to enter the real world. My life will be completely different. I don't think that we will be in Pocatello, I'm not sure where we'll be. It's exciting that we will be able to move on with our lives.

Joe and I went camping over memorial day weekend. We were going to go to Yellowstone with my sister and brother-in-law, but the weather report said it would be really cold there. Instead we went to Wolverine Canyon, near Firth. It was really pretty there and we got a pretty good spot. My Aunt Deanna came, Katie, Adam, and my cousin Morgan. It was a nice way to kick off the summer. There was a little rain, but nothing too bad. All in all it turned out to be a good time!

When we got home from the camping trip we found out that Joe's sister Rachel had her baby. My new nephew's name is Jonas. He is so sweet and cute. We got to go visit him a couple of days after he was born. I think I get to see him again tonight. I'm a little sad though because they are moving to New York City this weekend. Too bad we can't go visit them there. That would be a blast.

We decided to move from a University ward to a family ward. I am liking it pretty well. I just got a calling. I'm going to be helping out with girl's camp in July. I really hated girl's camp when I was that age, but I think that I'm really going to enjoy it now. I'm excited! It's nice to be in a ward that you have the opportunity to do things like this. There are people of all ages here- its great! Also sacrament meeting is a lot quiter, not as many screaming babies.

I have a bunch of projects that I'm working on right now. I started a quilt a couple of summers ago and I finally have time to work on it again. I am hoping that I can finish it this summer. I also got a bunch of cute patterns that I am going to be trying out. I already made a pair of pajama shorts that turned out pretty good, after I unpicked the whole thing and decided not to follow the instructions that were included in the pattern. They were really confusing. I am also going to be working on a purse, some scrubs, an apron and maybe some pincushinons with the leftover fabric I have. Who knows how much of this I'll actually get done. Its pretty ambitious.

I have a lot of free time at work. I have been trying to make good use of my time. One thing I do is Family Search Indexing. Its actually pretty cool. There are images of all different kinds of records like census, marriages, births, and deaths and you basically transcribe them. My dad has done extensive geneological work on both sides of my family so I have never known what I could do to contribute to this work. This is something that I can do that will help other people looking for their ancestors. If you are interested in doing this you can go to this site: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/indexing/frameset_indexing.asp

One of my friends started a club called the lil' baker's club. What we do is make goodies and other things and then donate them to different places around town. It is a lot of fun. Anyone who is interested should go to this blog : http://lilbakerclub.blogspot.com/

Anyway, I'm just trying to stay busy this summer, since it's the last "real" summer that I get. No more of that after school is over. Don't worry though because I'm also doing quite a bit of sleeping in! :-)
