I work my self silly to pay the bills. If anyone deserves to be wrapped in seaweed and buried in mud, it's me.

I'm back from Arizona and I'm ready to go back in two weeks!
Before I flew home I had to take a psy test.
To prepare I had to stay up until 3 am the night before to study.
I took my test Friday morning at 8 and then drove the almost 3 hour drive to the airport.
The only thing that kept me alive was a tall, cool, crisp Monster.

Oh and this guy

Why would anyone need a trailer THAT BIG for that little thing?
I finally decided to pass him so I could take this picture:

Then I had the most amazing TWO hour flight with this guy:

He thought he was so cool with his hand JUST LIKE THAT the whole flight!
I felt like I had a three year old sitting behind me.


I didn't actually take many pictures while I was in Arizona.
I snapped this one just before going to Adam and Kelsie's for phase 10.

Don't worry, I lost.

While I was home I got to see Deanna's new house (which I LOVE)
Got to meet Deanna's new puppy, Teddy. He is adorable!
Ate at Tom's BBQ. And hated it. Never again.
Tried Ocean Blue ice cream on Val Vista and Baseline.
(I'm going to have to try it again, mine had too much sugar)
I got to meet little baby girl Alexandra.
Vince and I ate at our favorite restaurant the Thai House. So yummy!
Got to see Lindsey and spent an hour too long in her hot car.
And we had ice cream from Mesa Frozen, always yummy!
Then we picked this up:

This is the most uh.may.zing. thing ever!
It's shampoo in a can.
For those days you uhh don't have time to shower,
it's perfect.

So pretty much food was the highlight of my visit.

When I got back to Oregon, Rachel and I decided to float down the River.

I took more pictures but they are on another camera which I left at her house :(

We decided that floating the river reminded us of when we went white water rafting in Maupin.
When we almost died!

We were just floating along

When our tour guide told us to make a hard turn and to slide to the opposite side

Who knew this was going to happen?

Oh and who is stuck under the raft? That's right, Rachel and I.

We're smart.

And then I found this picture
I love how everyone is so focused on rafting, n stuff.
Oh, I'm working on my sitting skills



Rachel is three months preggers and I couldn't be more excited for her!
It's like one of my sisters having a baby. It's. That. Exciting.

I gave baby girl her very first present!
I found the cutest pacifier clip from here


Rachel and Brett, LOVING it!

Rachel and I have been best friends since the first time we talked to each other over 4 years ago.


You're gorgeous!



And today I had an interview for an on campus position.



Wish me luck! I find out if I get it next week.
If I do, I start in October!

your "unwashed" hair looks fab. And it was fun to have you here. next time hopefully i can play more and paint/slave away less. I agree, toms was sick. what do you order at thai house? I got yellow curry chicken w/noodles last night (but they forgot noodles, dum dums)
and that stuff does bad things to me. I always just want to order sticky rice w/mango and sticky rice with custard. I dont need nutrition.
love ya!

I didn't realize you already had your interview. Did you find some clip-on braids and lipstick in time?

I hated the hot car as much as you did. Just be glad you didn't have to hang out with us ALL weekend.

I hate Arizona.

What's shampoo in a can? I'm not hip on these cool thingy's. cute pictures. What was that guy hauling on his trailer, I couldn't tell. I'm glad you had fun in AZ in the hot car! It will be nice for you to move back for the summer.

Awwwww!!! I haven't seen Rachel in ages! She is so darn cute (as are you, but she's pregnant and needs extra reassurance...don't worry, I will get you next time).

Love you Ash! I will be up there June 19---????

Will you?
