scuba

2009-06-02T02:36:00.000-07:00

the best graduation gift i could ever get... scuba certification! me, karl, and teryn all got certified and i wish i had more pictures to show everyone how amazing it was, but these are the few i have. after the pool certification i wasnt quite sure if i would really like it, but i sure was wrong. i even got a little seasick (ok really seasick) the first day of diving, but still loved it. we saw everything... eels, turtles, a spotted eagle ray (which apparently is different than a manta ray but they look the same to me), and tons of fish. awesome... just awesome.

first day in the pool. we loooooove wetsuits.

before the first real dive. do i look like im about to start puking in about 20 minutes?

this was our instructor mel. she gave us handshakes underwater whenever we did good things. we loved her.

thanks richard & angie!

i'm way behind

2009-06-02T01:58:00.000-07:00

alright... im way behind on posts so i think im just gonna do a few posts these next few days because if i tried to slam everything ive been doing into one it would be WAY too long and i know none of you have the attention span for that, not to mention that just seems too overwhelming for me. So, first up... graduation night and the best show of my life... Jenny Lewis

As anybody that knows me can attest, her voice is what I'm listening to 90% of the time (in fact as i'm writing this i'm thinking i want to listen to her right now), so if you don't know who she is, I recommend finding out. Seriously the best show of my life, and my last day of school ever. PERFECT day.

my life for the next two days

2009-04-08T13:46:00.001-07:00

So this is pretty much what my life is going to look like today and tomorrow. Since the wonderful president of our school decided to do away with finals week, tomorrow I have two huge projects due, two presentations, and two finals. The good news is after that I am officially done with college. The bad news is I might have a heart attack from drinking enough sugar free redbull to kill a person from staying up for two days straight.

sick

2009-03-24T23:38:00.001-07:00

so what do i get for hanging out with a sick person all weekend??? i'm sick. and it sucks. big time. its nearing the end of the semester and i really need all my energy, especially since me and karl just started our new workout routine... is it alright to work out when you're sick?? the general consensus on the internet is that if your symptoms are above the neck (which mine seem to be so far) that its ok to exercise at a reduced rate, and it may even help you get better quicker. however if they are below the neck to stay away from exercise and just rest. but there are people who disagree with both of these statements... does anybody have any advice??? because i really would like to look like one of these girls in the coming months and i dont want this sickness to get me off track! blah!

april 10th will be the best day of my life

2009-03-21T13:16:00.001-07:00

last day of college + jenny lewis = best day of my life

couldn't stop smiling when i found out about this one

Happy St. Patties Day!

Thanks to Karl for reminding me to wear my green today.

its not my fault!

2009-03-03T21:40:00.000-08:00

I've often wondered why I just can't seem to ever say no to sweet yummy scrumptious desserts... just can't do it. Even when I'm not hungry I can manage to shove a few cookies or cupcakes or a few bites of ice cream in my face... well today i read an article that explained why to me.

IT'S BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN!

Thanks for giving me an excuse hormones...

It is all explained here...

I 'stumbled' across this picture today and for some reason I just wanted to post it for you. It reminds me of you and all you stand for.

catchup

2008-11-02T23:59:00.000-08:00

so the last time i updated my blog was the last time erin jane was here and now shes coming again in a few days so i thought i'd post a few pictures up of the things ive been doing since the last time she was here...

I celebrated my birthday in two different ways, on two different days... with a cowboy/indian themed dance party and a fantastic dinner party with some of my favorite people.

ive been spending a lot of time with this guy up here

we've gone on some really good bike rides.

we've made A LOT of baked goods... including these lemon filled, marshmallow and coconut topped cupcakes. death by cupcakes.

went to a pumpkin patch to handpick a couple pumpkins, had a carving party, and voila... mine is the skull... i know i know... its impressive.

halloween. in case you are wondering i am rob masterson.

Life is Good.

and im promising to be a better blogger.

the end.

I'm addicted to her

I think that a sign of true friendship is that you can live 3,000 miles away from each other and not see each other for months, but then once you do it's like you were never apart.

Erin Jane Johnson I'm so glad you came to visit. We miss you already!

if there is one thing i could tell you to experience in life it would be this...

2008-09-15T17:16:00.000-07:00

by far probably the coolest thing i've ever done

Its that time again... PROJECT RUNWAY!

2008-07-17T17:40:00.000-07:00

So, guess what has started again?? It totally snuck up on me too but LUCKILY... I didn't miss anything (oh and Karly don't worry I Ti-Vo'd it for you). Even though I was kinda hoping for some more creative ideas for materials instead of tablecloths galore, I still think its gonna be a good season. Too early to declare any favorites... but i LOVED seeing an appearance by one of my all time faves, Austin Scarlett... haha! Oh I love this show.

Belated 4th of July

2008-07-13T12:37:00.000-07:00

So I know 4th of July was a little over a week ago but I just wanted to post a few pictures from my little vacation down to San Diego with Damien, Carlos, and Allison.

Pinball Mania

2008-06-24T18:12:00.001-07:00

So who would have known that Las Vegas is home of the PinBall Hall of Fame? I sure didn't. But I went there last week and it was quite the experience. There are like 200 different pinball machines... old ones, new ones, broken ones... It was REALLY fun and 5 bucks goes quite a long ways there. Oh, and not to mention...

Thats right... An Elton John pinball machine... Just one more reason to love the Pinball Hall of Fame.

Nature-al Woman

2008-06-23T16:52:00.000-07:00

So, this past weekend I got the opportunity to escape the heat and head up to Duck Creek, Utah with Beca and her family. It made me remember how pretty Utah is. Anyways, this little getaway was exactly what I needed after a few stressful weeks so here's a few pictures of our little day trip to Bryce Canyon (which is amazing by the way). I need to visit more natural parks.

A Real Live Professional

2008-05-05T18:09:00.001-07:00

So, it's true. I became a real life professional woman today. I started my internship. And it actually went ok for a first day. I was real nervous this morning (to the point I was pretty much sick), but I got over it, and made it to the offices of Piercy, Bowler, Taylor, and Kern. This morning was just all orientation stuff. Filling out paperwork, getting a computer, all that kind of fun stuff. Then I actually did an hour of real live accounting/auditing work. Since they haven't really assigned me to a team yet, I don't think I'm going to have much to do for the next little while. Today after lunch I pretty much had nothing to do so they gave me this HUGE binder (seriously, like four inches thick), and told me to read it since I didn't have anything to do! Haha! And I think that might be what I'm doing for the next little while. But everyone tells me its kind of slow when you first start working and to cherish it because it doesn't last long. But anyways, I can already tell that I'm going to learn A TON. I think I should pretty much be able to ace my auditing class that I have yet to take (isn't that funny considering I'm an audit intern?). Oh yes, and don't I look so happy/photogenic in this picture??

Summer Resolutions

2008-05-01T22:23:00.000-07:00

So I have a lot of time this summer. FOUR months at home. And while I'll probably be busy with my internship, I've decided that I'm going to take all the other time I have to improve myself. As my wise friend Kaitlyn said, "Make this summer all about you." Now I know that sounds kind of selfish, but really, I want to go back to Hawaii the end of August as the 'NEW AND IMPROVED' Ashley. So anyways, here are a few of the things I'm going to work on:

1. I'm going to the gym. and often.
2. I'm going to improve my sewing skills. New dresses anyone?
3. I'm going to learn how to play the piano again. (I started today and I have a LONG way to go)
4. I'd just like to become generally crafty. You know, make a lot of crafts.
5. I'm going to learn how to budget and save my money. This will be hard.
6. And of course, I plan to become a master scriptorian.

So yes, that's all for now. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on my summer resolutions.

Giving in...

2008-04-30T22:57:00.000-07:00

So yes. I did it. I created a blog.
