Silent Weekend Report

Silent Weekend was a blast we were at Camp Tuttle which is a Catholic camp it was just weird having a facial expressions workshop in a Catholic chapel. The other think was that all the cabins were named after Catholic Saints I was in St. Margaret cabin.
These were my cabin mates the on the far left really didn't do much with us and she left before we ate breakfast on Saturday. Next to her is my friend Brandee she has been in three classes with me, next is Heather, and then it's Crystal both of them have been in all my ASL classes from the start, and them me, and then Amberlee who I met there and she is a lot of fun.
Crystal didn't like this picture and asked me to take another so here is the other one but I don't like this one.
I had the camera with me all weekend trying to get a picture of a little critter but they run so fast that it's hard but I finally found one so here it is.

Grandpa Ted!!! In our hearts forever!

Grandpa Ted Passed away this morning. It is with love that we celebrate your life. Grandpa's passing was not a surprise I am thankful for the peaceful passing and the breath of relief that his passing brings to Grandma and my Mom.

Grandpa we will miss you but we are happy that you are finally reunited with your family once again.

A Summer Goal Complete!!!!!!!

This Summer I set out a goal to go hiking with Ry Ry as much as possible. However I set another goal to hike Grandeur Peak, So at 6:30 am I woke up filled my Camelbak with ice and water made two sandwiches grabbed my Hiking shoes and left with Ryan at 6:50 am. We got to church fork at 7 am and the gate was still closed so we put our sun screen on and just as we finnished that they opend the gate which I was glad for. Ryan was trying to show me why we wanted to wait for the gate to open by whistle from the gate to the parking lot, That got annoying quick. It was a 3 mile hike up so 6 round trip. we got up to the top at 10 is it took us(Me) 2hr and 40min to hike up, but it was well worth it because I accomplished a summer goal.

So I saw this waterfall and I had to have a picture. I love waterfalls I think they are one of the most beautiful things on the planet.

During the hike Ryan found blue belly lizards and he caught on so I could see the blue belly because I love blue!!! ;D
Cute and little I like em like that.
We finally made it to the top had snack time and loved it. Look at that view isn't it beautiful lovely lovely lovely.
Just in case you don't believe it was Grandeur peak here's your Proof.

I am so proud you have no Idea

Hiking Dog Lake

So on July 1st the rest of millcreek canyon opened up so Ry Ry went on a Hike / Nature Walk up to Dog Lake it is a 2.5 mile hike up so round trip it's 5 miles it is by far one of my favorite hikes because their are so many colors and waterfalls and it ends at a lake so that makes me happy. so here's a cute picture of Ry Ry and me as we finished our hike.

Hiking Salt Lake Overlook

This Summer I had a goal to go hiking as much as possible and since I have Big Brother who likes Hiking we try to go every week. Thursday June 25th I had off work and so Ry Ry and I went up Millcreek Canyon to the Salt Lake Overlook and it was beautiful. I Forgot to bring a snack and so Ry gave me one of his sandwiches. Because it was an odd day we were able to bring the dogs and they had a great time. This Hike is 2.5 miles up but it was totally worth it there are I think 13 switchbacks to the top and it's switchbacks all the way.
Ry Ry and Me loving the fruits of our labor.
I did it Wahoo!!! and I made it in one piece that's More improtant and I didn't fall some times I fall on hikes and the person I'm with has to help me a lot.

Anna and Mark just bought their first house It's really beautiful. We went to lunch at this restaurant or Diner called One Man Band Diner which is kind of a cross between Denny's and the training table they have the same kind of food that Training Table and they have the phone thing but they have the breakfast thing being served all day. then for dinner Mark cooked stake and corn on the grill Anna made red lobster rolls and I cut the Watermelon and cut my finger. This was a great mini vacation.

Pleas take a moment and read this because she is truly a special woman and I think everyone should know her!!!
This made my day I was so happy to find it yes it made me cry but that's my Grandma and I love her and always will she is my Darlin always

Personal Ethics Made Funny

So today in my ethics class we started our discussion on same sex marriage and my teacher started the discussion saying and I quote "Lets Talk about sex." Now I don't know how many of you know the music group "Salt-N-Pepa" but when he said that I herd the song in my head. for those of you not familiar with it here are the lyrics.

"(Punch it, Hurb

Yo, I don't think we should talk about this
Come on, why not?
People might misunderstand what we're tryin' to say, you know?
No, but that's a part of life)

Come on

[CHORUS]

Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex

Let's talk about sex for now to the people at home or in the crowd
It keeps coming up anyhow
Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows
Many will know anything goes
Let's tell it how it is, and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think it's dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause, or turn the radio off
Will that stop us, Pep? I doubt it
All right then, come on, Spin

[CHORUS]

Hot to trot, make any man's eyes pop
She use what she got to get whatever she don't got
Fellas drool like fools, but then again they're only human
The chick was a hit because her body was boomin'
Gold, pearls, rubies, crazy diamonds
Nothin' she ever wore was ever common
Her dates heads of state, men of taste
Lawyers, doctors, no one was too great for her to get with
Or even mess with, the Prez she says was next on her list
And believe me, you, it's as good as true
There ain't a man alive that she couldn't get next to
She had it all in the bag so she should have been glad
But she was mad and sad and feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the things that she never had
No love, just sex, followed next with a check and a note
That last night was dope

Let's talk about sex, baby (sing it)
Let's talk about you and me (sing it, sing it)
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex (come on)
Let's talk about sex (do it)
Let's talk about sex (uh-huh)
Let's talk about sex

Ladies, all the ladies, louder now, help me out
Come on, all the ladies - let's talk about sex, all right
[repeat]

(Yo, Pep, I don't think they're gonna play this on the radio
And why not? Everybody has sex
I mean, everybody should be makin' love
Come on, how many guys you know make love?)

[CHORUS]"

Anyway after we got started we talked about the reasons you have sex, and as always we get off on tangents and we got talking about forced sex, rape, and some one in class said a very quotable quote and I felt the need to share it.

Warning this might offend you and it is not meant to I just thought it was funny.

"Rape ... is forced expressions of Love."

I don't actually agree with this but I thought it was funny any way.
