lil this, lil that

I thought I better update so I don't get deleted off the family site again, lol. Still in St George, working and living life I guess. Lets see the most exciting thing that has happened to me lately is I had my wisdom teeth removed, all four were impacted. Took almost 3 weeks to heal and they still bleed from time to time. I think the dentist did a hack job on me. It was a great diet though, so I guess thats one postive thing from it :) Shooter my 6 month old puppy is Ginormous and leaves me lil room in my 700sq condo. He is glued to my hip if I get up to get a drink of water he follows, if I take a step to the left, he takes a step to left...lol i think you get the point. I think this is called seperation anxiety so everytime I go somewhere I have to take him by his collar and sit him back down and make him stay...sometimes it not worth all the trouble to get a drink! I've been mountain biking alot in the evening. It really cools down here around 7:30 now and its perfect to ride right out of my front door to red hills behind my complex. Sometimes Im joined by friends and other times its just Shooter and I. Today is friday and I have 14 friends flying in from, Idaho, Montana and Oregon to Las Vegas, so just thought I would say my goodbyes! lol jk. Im excited to see some old good friends from college and familiar faces. Although I enjoy my new life here in St. George its always good to have a blast from the past. I have some pictures to post but I dont have the time before I leave, so check back in a few weeks and I will have some updated photos. Hope everyone is doing well!, Love you all! xoxo

4th of July

I had a great time seeing everyone up at the reunion! I have tons of pictures...around 350 to be exact. I might have been excited to use my new camera (thanks mom and dad) :) If you want a disk of them, let me know. I tried to get pictures of everyone, so there are some good ones of all of you and your kids. Love you all and thanks for a great birthday and 4th of July!

I'm really enjoying living back in southern Utah, the weather, and outdoor activities that come with being here. I moved into the Sports Village complex that sits on top of a hill next to the Green Valley Resort. I rent a one bedroom condo and its the first time I've lived all alone. It was quite scary to get used to I'm not going to lie. The first week I jumped up every hour thinking someone was in my house, but I've slowly got used to it. I have recently picked up a new hobby, mountain biking. I absolutely love it and the rush that comes with it. It turns out my back yard is mountain bikers haven. My first ride, that a group of friends took me on, was called "Stukki." It was alot of fun and I quickly learned that slamming on front breaks in the middle of steep, dusty, drop isn't the best idea. As I my body begin to sprawl out over the handle bars, I some how managed to pull myself back down and gracefully land on my middle bar. I had escaped my first wreck. My legs were shaking so bad from the rush of adrenalin. I was hooked and have gone every weekend since. Early that week a friend of mine had gone out on the same trails and wiped out so bad that she popped her breast implant. The new name of that trail (please forgive my language) is now "Popped Boobie Drop"

I've really enjoyed my time down here and being so close to Ty and his family. I also completed my first half marathon, which was huge for me because I sincerely hate running. I knew I would like here and I'm glad I made the decision to come here. It has been a good choice thus far. One more piece of news for ya'll is I got a new puppy. His name is Shooter and he has been the best puppy I've had. No accidents and no whining at night. I'm actually quite amazed. After four days Shooter can: sit, fetch, lay down, shake, walk on a leash, be left alone, and sleep through the night. He's only 8 weeks old. I'm waiting for something bad to happen because this has just been to good to be true.

Hopefully I will be seeing you all soon for the Larsen Family Reunion. Here are some pictures of camping with the boys up in Pine Valley, a trip to Zions, and a few randoms.
