Never Again will i rent anything from U-haul! They are way over priced & i met one of their rudest workers today!! The 2 of those things together can really ruin your day!!
So about 8:30 this morning i got a call from Sky saying "Hey whit, your car broke down on us in payson, can you please drive my truck up here & tow us home. So while driving up Sky called the U-haul in provo & reserved a tow trailer (the one with only 2 wheels) When we got to provo u-haul the guy working said "we DONT have one here! Around 4 or 5 we'll have one which is a 2 car one & would cost 119 if we returned it to their store w/in 24 hours, so Sky asked why they didnt have it when clearly 4 hours sooner they told us they did! The worker checked online & said "oh it looks like you called here & the lady you talked to didn't know what she was doing. We have one reserved for you 40 miles away in West Valley so you'll have to go there!" (might i add he was a complete jerk about it) So we had no choice but to head up & get it. We got one of those 2 wheeled tow trailers connected together with a bar & i was thinking this should be at least half the cost cuz the 2 car one cost 119 to rent but NOPE!! It cost us $190 freakin dollars for this stupid trailer!! A complete rip off if you ask me! So not only was i in a super pissy mood all day because my car broke down &wont start but we had to drive 1 1/2 hours longer than we expected because of screw up at the freakin u-haul! I officially hate any & all U-Haul Rentals & will NEVER use one again!!!!

21 Things To Do Before I Turn 21
So i like to make list, all sorts just like one of my friend lauren (who gave me this great idea) I hope i can finish all or most of these before my birthday next year!! Keep your fingers crossed that i finish them all!!!
- Trade my car for a Toyota 4 Runner! Not that i dont love my little Chevy Aveo i have just always wanted a a toyota 4 runner, so why not get it this year!
- Sleep out South under the stars one time last summer me, shay & brady slept out south but it was way to cold for me & shay to sleep under the stars so this summer i'll have to take my dads truck & be tougher & sleep in the back!
- Eat at the Cheese Cake Factory i almost ate there in March but didn't cuz the boys chose Sonic instead! What weirdo's!!
- Buy a new swim suit I haven't purchased one in about 1 1/2- 2 years so i figured so it's about time!!
- Run a 5K, 10K or Half Marathon I wanted to do the marathon, but there is no chance of that this year, i can barely run a mile! haha
- Learn to play the guitar hopefully next year i will have learned to play the guitar so i can add on my list to play it & sing at the same time!!
- Road trip to California only been there once & it was cloudy, so the beach sucked! Gotta go back on a Sunny day!!
- Stay up all night to see the sunrise & this doesn't include New Years Eve!
- Read the B.O.M. cover to cover...again i have successfully completed cover to cover once & attempted to a few times, this time i'm gonna try to finish it in 60 days or around that!
- Go to an amusement park either Seven Peaks, Six Flags, Disney Land ... any park really!
- Find a job & a place to live up north i've always want to live up in the Orem/Provo area, hopefully i'll be up there soon!!
- Do yoga i have done P90X & pilates but never yoga! Better try it too!!
- Go Skydiving This has always been a want of mine, most would say i'm nuts or stupid but hey i wanna fly!! :)
- Be able to do the splits! (stretch stretch stretch!!) once upon a time, way back when i could do the splits both ways, but i now i'm very old & am about 3 1/2- 4 inches from touching the ground!
- Hike the Narrows up in Zion hiked most of the trails up in Zion, but this one, angels landing & the subway!
- Kiss someone in the rain! i have always dreamed about doing this, hopefully it'll happen soon!! haha maybe it'll have to be one of those n.c.m.o's (only some people may get this! Shay you are one of them!!)
- Read ALL the Nicholas Sparks books i absolutely LOVE his movies, so i am hoping the book be as good or even better, if that is possible!!)
- Learn to wake board tried a million times a few summers ago & face planted it too many times!! hopefully 2010 will bring me luck & i'll be able to get up!
- Learn to drive stick shift i successfully did it once but then our car broke down so i could never master it & now i dont know exactly how to do it without killing it every time i shift!!
- Lose 10-15lbs. I basically just get into shape & tone up my body & get the size where i'll feel comfortable with my body!
- Have a FRIENDS marathon with Marie In 2009 i was one of the unlucky people who got the H1N1 flu, i was out of work & quarantined to my house, so i started with season 1 episode 1 & watched the complete Friends series! (watched them & slept! a very lazy week, but enjoyable!!) Marie has a few seasons & loves Friends as much as i do!

Pictures From The Past
So i was going through old pictures & i came across a few that made me cry, laugh, & smile so i just had to share & tell a little something to go along with each picture...
This was probably the hardest moment of my life, saying goodbye to not only my big brother & best friend for 2 years.
(i know, doesn't look like me now... for those who don't know or dont really remember i had blonde hair back then!)
PHOTO 2:
This is a picture of a real Cow Tongue. For a YW/YM activity we did Fear Factor. One member of each team had to eat a piece of this, i was a member of an all guys team & was the one who ended up eating some. (The guys on my team were seriously the biggest wimps!) There were a number of gross things i ate this night including chocolate covered crickets, sardines & the tongue. The only gross thing i didnt eat that night was pickled pigs feet, & the reason behind that is pretty obvious. I HATE FEET & will NEVER eat them. Although it wasn't super horrible tasting i will probably never eat cow tongue or roast beef (tasted similar) ever again!
PHOTO 3:
One of the scariest, coldest rides of my life, yet funnest!
Four-wheeling with Sky & Axton has always been a favorite of mine, but this time in particular was by far the scariest. There is a very very steep scary hill way out in the dunes, numerous of times i have observed from up top as they have tried to ride up it only to make it half-way & almost flip over sideways on the way down. I vowed many years ago to never go up or down it! Well this day we were driving above it & i remember Axton telling me that "we" were going down it. As my grip around his waist got tighter & tighter, I began to say (my words exactly) "How about i watch you, sky & marie from up here, i'm scared to go down it." He stopped & looked back with this sad puppy dog face & said Dont you trust me?! I began to stand up & say i do but i'd feel safer up here watching... He then pushed on the gas & said Hold on Whit! As i tried to forcefully shove myself off he back of the fast moving four-wheeler, i felt Axton grab ahold of my arm to make sure i wasn't going off the back of it, but instead down the hill on the with him!! Not only did my life flash before my eyes but I thought i was literally gonna die. Once we made it to the bottom, Axton turned to me & said, See that wasn't even a scary. I do believe i was about 90% of the way off the 4-wheeler at that time. Considering it happened against my own will, i guess i can say, Ya i've been down that hill & once is more than enough for me!! :)
Last pic i promise.... PHOTO 4:
Sorry i know this is really gross! This is the after picture of my wart i had frozen. (side view of my ring finger on my right hand, middle knuckle) The original wart was very small, smaller than a half a skittle. I was very self conscious of my hand so i decided that i wanted it gone. When the doctor began to freeze it i told him to do it til i said stop. He froze it for about 2 minutes, when i finally couldnt stand the pain any longer I told him to stop. This is what it looked like later that night & about 3 weeks following. (sorry i'm getting a little graphic now) It was about the size of a grape, some days even bigger. It was stretching the skin so much that at times i thought my skin would rip, it was so shiny around the edges. Every night i would drain the blood out of it & this is what it would look like by morning. Life was pretty hard for the month or so following this procedure! But today all that is left on my finger is a small scar that i am ok with!
