Once upon a time....

We went on a walk!

Yes, this was back in May-ish.

It's fine.

Time Confusion

The other day I woke up and looked at my clock.

7:38

I leave for work at 7:40

I thought my clock was off, but then I heard Carlie getting ready in the bathroom.
Carlie doesn't get out of bed until I'm walking out the door, so I knew I had slept in.

Why didn't my alarm go off??

I specifically remember setting it the night before.

I immediately went into panic mode.

The first thing I did was text Dr Stevens and Brie to tell them I was running late, but would be there as soon as I could.
I put on my scrubs and was throwing my hair in a quick messy bun when my phone alarm went off.

I looked at the time on my phone.

6:50

I looked at my alarm clock again.

7:50

I was so confused.

I proceeded to check every clock in my apartment, wondering if it was daylight savings and I had missed the memo. 

I decided to go with the time on my phone, reasoning that if I had, in fact, missed daylight savings, my phone would automatically adjust to it. Right? But then, why was Carlie already gone for the day?

Still bewildered by the events of the morning, I sheepishly texted Dr Stevens and Brie again to tell them nevermind to the last text I sent. 

At this point I was ready for the day, so I enjoyed a leisurely morning waiting for the actual time I would leave for work.

It turns out that it is not daylight savings and Carlie had chosen that day of all days to get up early to go running. What are the odds?

The only thing I can figure is that I actually changed the time on my alarm instead of my alarm time.

But the story doesn't stop there!

I got to work right on time, but Brie, who is usually the first person there, was about 15 minutes late.
It turns out that she really did over sleep and my text had woken her up! We were both off for the rest of the day. 

But wait, there's more!

Carlie ended up going to work 2.5 hours early! 

I guess time is not our strong point.

Labor Day Weekend

Climbing

This year I have gotten really in rock climbing.
As it has gotten warmer we have been going outside, but I am not the biggest fan of the limestone that is in Logan.
I have been craving granite!

I went to Rexburg this weekend (sorry if I didn't get to see you!) and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to climb on granite. 

I rounded up Porter and Whitney (who had stayed most of the weekend with me and we had so much fun!) and we were off!

Long story short:

- Whitney and I almost got lost twice on our way there

- We almost died once (although Whitney would say it was more)

- Porters car sounded like it was going to fall apart and we were all a little nervous.

- We forgot an ATC so we "made due" with a cool knot (Porter has way too much trust in me)

- I'm not sure who got the better work out: Whitney jumping up the rock, or Porter pulling her up.

- Whitney got blisters / huge boils from the heat of the rock on every finger

- I got heat exhaustion about four moves into my first climb and almost passed out / couldn't see anything on several occasions.

- None of us brought water

- For some reason, we thought it would be a good idea for the girl who was about to pass out (aka me) to belay Porter as he took the climb down.

Yeah, NOT a good idea! (I had Whitney holding the rope just in case, and it was a close call.)

- On the way home I was blinded by the sun, so Whitney stuck her head out the window and literally guided me as I drove.

- I had a headache for the next 24 hours

And we all survived to tell the tale!

Between Porter taking care of my heat exhaustion (ready at any moment to catch me if I fainted and dipping his coat in the river to put on my head)
and bandaging Whitney's blistered hands, I'm pretty sure he never wants to take us climbing again. Ha!

Thanks Porter!

It will be better next time  :)

(We have pictures and even a movie, but there have been some technical difficulties in getting them. So sad.
Hopefully I'll get them up soon, so check back)

Bishop & Sister Forbush

Whitney and I visited Bishop and Sister Forbush. They are seriously the best! I loved just hanging out with them and catching up on life.
It was just like the good old times. It seems like only yesterday we were there going hot tubbing, singing karaoke, cutting our fingers with sharp knives that poor college students aren't accustomed to, playing in their amazing back yard, and just hanging out.

 

Family

Fun times with mom and dad just hanging out, talking, playing speed scrabble and taking walks.
It's good to go home.

Moving Day!

Labor Day was spent moving into my new apartment! I cannot say thank you enough to my parents and sister for all their help.
I am so grateful for them! It made the day so much fun to have them with me in Logan. They are the best! 

I will miss Chelsey, but I am moving in with some amazing friends and am excited for the change!

The bad part is that I hurt my back somehow in the move. I feel like an 80 year old woman.
Good thing I work at a chiropractic office! I might actually have to get adjusted  :)
