So i really don't get sick too often, but when i do i'm just miserable and am out of commision for days. So yesturday i think i caught a 24 hour bug (I blame Micah) that competely caught me off guard. Lucklyi didn't have to work yesterday but was looking forward to a much needed day off and i spent the day on the couch i my parents trying not to be too much in the way. It was a really long day and i was not in the best of spirits! I'm feeling better today and ate something which is always good. i hate not being able to eat!!
Haley and i are starting to look for new places to live we are on a house hunt Tuesday, and i'm totally looking forward to it! I hope we find something pretty soon so my stress level will start to go down at least for a day or so. She is starting Law School in the fall and i will be going down to California for training at the end of June. I'm super excited!! So we have big things going on in our world. Other than that nothing too much is going on. We are still meeting with the missionaries every week and it's great! I still get asked when i'm getting married and go back to my default answer of "you have to date in order to get married", but i have been dating so that helps. But i may say that it is very difficult to date some one consistantly when i am hardly ever in one place for more than 3 months...
Oh we did have an addition to our little Hugo Ave. family, a fish. His name is Goober, and he is so cute, he is a Beta and is aquamarine/dark blue in color. So far I am still doing well on attempting this whole blog thing, so i shall continue it. It's pretty fun!

Continuing with the trend...
So as my good friend and roommate suggested that i update my blog when i really have nothing to do. i am at work as i will be for the next few Saturdays quite early in the morning, so what a better thing to do than write. i have been reflecting recently on numerous things that seem so little at the time, but going back on it has greatly influenced me today. I have made some of the greatest friend that i will ever have and will truly be there for me if i ever needed anything from them. I Love each and everyone of them, and if you read this thank you! i believe that we grow into who we are and that we are ever changing in order to find order in our lives. i look at back at my self 4 years ago a senior in high school, and have some of the same characteristics but am truly a different person on how i react and perceive things. In my travels i have learned so much and am very grateful for everything i have in my life. Now some random stuff that just comes in to my head, and sometimes they are very scary!!
1. Why do we yawn if we are only? Yawning is a social thing so why do we do it when we are alone...huh
2. Thought i had the other day... if the sky is blue from the water in the air and the oceans why is the desert sky so very blue?
3. When planning day to day things why do we say we need to be at 2 places at once, we just need to make a choice and everyone will eventually get over it!
4. When people say "oh i wish i had time for that..." for any activity. Anyone can just find the time :)
5. Why people beat around the bush? I like to tell it like it is people appreciate it in the long run.
6. I love that my sister will always continue sending me chain emails and i will always read them because most of them are hilarious!! Thanks C
7. That Haley and I for some reason always know what the other is thinking and really wants to say but shoulnd't... and I LOVE IT!
8. My dad! He is so odd sometimes, but i'm still his little girl. ( And i will always have a room in the basement waitinf for me just in case...
9. Why there is so much energy spent on this will kill you this week and something new will kill you next week. We start dying from the time we are born, just relax and have some fun!
10. The earth in and of itself just an amazing place with a great story! Kind of over whelming at times!
11. Sports: all so random and yet we are still drawn to them; lets take mine slide down an ice shoot at speed upwards of 80 mph, American football: hitting people to try and steel the ball back, and so many more that are so very odd.
12. Hair: it is dead and yet we obsess about it. I don't even really know what my natural color is anymore HAHAJust some things that i often think about.
Random but i love to think about odd things. Well i'm keeping up with my goal 2 posts in a week already. Wow i'm getting good :)

Update :S
So i know that most of you that read this (ok i'll be for real the 3 of my family) have been waiting for this day for quite some time now. I'M GETTING MARRIED!! ........ ok not really just updating my blog for the first time ever. i am terrible with this. It's like a journal and i'm no good at that either, but am going to try and be better at it.
Well i guess i should start with wraping up the events from the skeleton season. This year i can say with out a doubt has been the best that i have ever had. i raced well all season and even surprised my self many times along with the people around me. It has given me the motivation that i needed to do even more training during this off season than last. i will leave out of the details but to give a sumary i was in Europe for the first part of the season and back in North America for the second half. I went to a new track and survived it which is always nice! I was on the podium for 3 of my 6 races on the America's Cup Tour. ( my first medals with racing on a competative tour). I was even able to keep my goal of having a top 3rd place for the overall points for that tour. Funny story behind that at first i thought that i didn't have enough points and then my mom did them and the officials made a mistake and gave it to the wrong person...so they fixed the problem and i was awarded the trophy. It was very exciting and called home to tell everyone and even cried a little with such an emotional weekend of racing. So now going into next season i am ranked USA 6. i still can;t some days even believe that i was able to accomplish what i did this season.
So for now i am home until July and then head to San Diego to live at the training center for a few months to train with some of the team. i really wanted this last year and it didn't happen. So i didn't get my hopes up to high (like last year) and when Orvie called to tell me at first i didn't believe him. So fo rnow it's going to go by so fast as it is already May. i'm still having the time of my life with my roommate Haley, actually we are sisters we think so much alike that it scares us a lot, but really funny!! We are starting to look for a new place to live as we are not having such good luck with our ceiling (it likes to leak). i love your little family we have! We have our tivo that we come home to almost everynight like an old married couple...haha it has been such a great year as i reflect on it, but very excited for what is to come!!
i hope that you are all proud that i finally updated!!!!
