Ain't Gonna Wait.... to Live My Life No More

Procrastination: The act of delaying or putting off something until a later time

I've been meaning to do this for months now :)

A lot of things have happened since my last blog, much of which I am sure I will not remember. Of all the things that I do remember, the most important have been those times I have spent with loved ones, whether it be my family, friends, or life partner. Life is such a special gift, and it is amazing how often I find myself wishing time away (work). I am not so sure why work can feel like a such a burden, especially when I take a look on my life. I am fully capable of doing all of the things that I want to. There is no one stopping me, but myself. I have started to do some of the things I told myself I would do someday, and will continue to venture out in life's world to accomplish these things I've been wanting to for so long... Why wait?

Call it a mid-life crisis, call it what you will, but whatever it is that is pushing me to achieve my goals, thank you!

I've gotta start appreciating all that I have and am. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life! I don't know how I got so lucky, but I have the best family, seriously, the BEST family! I would do anything for them; their happiness means so much to me. There are so so so many people that mean so much to me! I would not be me without the amazing people I am surrounded by. In fact, I wouldn't be much of anything without them! If only I could show people just how much they really mean to me, and how far I'd really go for them. There's so many types of emotions, all felt by sharing these memorable experiences with those I love most.

I definitely don't have the words to express the passion that rests within me. I feel as though I am so much more... that there is something so much larger in me. I've always felt that there is really something so much bigger for me.. something.. somewhere.. I have a desire to make a change, a hunger.... to make something out of myself.. to make something better of this world..

Annual Zoo Trip with Hooch, Brooke, and Naners

So, for the past 4 (maybe 5) years, Hooch and I have taken our little friends to the zoo. Here are some pictures from this year's visit. Each year we take them for some breakfast, go to the zoo to ride the carousel and the train, look at the animals, and then spend like an hour in the gift shop for the girls to find a suitable present. It's always a fun experience. This year we didn't go until August 25, and it was actually a lot less crowded and not as hot as usual. Brooke was even big enough to ride the carousel by herself this year so I didn't have to ride it.. woot!
After the zoo, we went and had some kid's meals and then took the kids home. It's always fun to spend some time with the little monkeys.

What...... A Bunch of Animals

Meal Time
The Little Baby Giraffe was so cute..
There were lots of other baby cats, but I didn't get pictures..
Love the BIG Cats the best! Mwah :P

The End

Utah State Fair

Every year, Hooch, Taunica, Kortni and I attend the Utah State Fair. This year Trish and Ryan joined us as well. It was a great time, full of many adventures such as, posing as firemen and mountain goats, eating lots of treats, enjoying the "wild" rides they had, winning prizes, as well as drinkin' some brews.

Posing as Firemen and Mountain GoatsTrish and Ryan's Romantic Ride.. from hell.. Lets just say, I'm not to confident in the rides at the fair.. I skipped out on this one.. Including the Big Yellow Slide, Trish went on 3 rides.. She's much more adventurous (or stupid jk)!

Lets see, some of the treats we ate were: Pickles, Cotton Candy, Pizza, Corn on the Cob, Pretzel and Cheese, Elephant Ears, and so many others.. and yes, I was very sick at the end of the night :P I think other people had some snacks as well... lol

Ryan wanted to see the World's Smallest Horse, and he was the only one.. lol
He coughed up the buck to see it..
Taunica's "Cool" Prize
We went on the Big Yellow Slide, a family tradition that Trish and I can not forget...
Incredibly, it happens to be a tradition for many people... even the sign says so.. lol..
The Walk Up to the SlideAt the top of the slide

It was a fun night! I love spending time with these guys! It was a great night, even though we had to rush after our softball game and change in the car, we made it in enough time to get around to everything we had planned for... well almost.. I didn't get to see the art this year or the bunnies.. so sad :( But still, it was a blast!
