Lava

Yesterday I did one of my favorite things ever, I floated the river in Lava.
My good friend Jenelle came and got me and we drove up to Lava Hot Springs where we went to our usual stand (I always rent from the bottom so I don't have to walk the tub up and then walk down alone... I prefer to just ride down and turn it in).
Jenelle was feeling a little nervous so we didn't go over the first big water fall as we usually do because that is the one you most often flip on. However we found other adventures trying to figure out where you get in after that water fall seeing as neither of us had ever done it before. Finally we figured out where to get in and we got to do three trips down the river.
I loved it it was so much fun! Then again I enjoy almost everything that involves water. I haven't been outside as much this summer as I had hoped and I'm going to try to enjoy this last month of summer before I have to struggle through another cold Idaho winter.
So, hopefully here soon I will have some more fun tales to tell... but until then I highly suggest to anyone who gets the chance to go float the river for a fun relaxing time! : )

Closing, Lagoon, and Warped

Well, it has been a good long while since I've blogged, not really because I haven't been busy but more because I've just forgotten to blog.
We found out a few weeks ago that Borders Bookstores is officially closing! All 400 Borders and Waldenbooks will be gone before October. As far as losing my job I'm not super concerned about being out of work, many other companies have been sympathetic... I've been doing interviews... and all in all I think that everything is going to work out, I can assure everyone that the bills will be paid and everything will be okay. Being in the closing store hasn't been as easy for me. It is so depressing to walk in there and see all the signs throughout the store... "Everything Must Go" and even our fixtures are up for sale. I've been selling books for 3 years now and it's hard for me to watch it all fall apart.
Tuesday the 2nd of August Tyson and I went with some of his family, Jeff, Kati, and Ashley to Lagoon. Tyson and I always try to go down a few times a year and I love it! I'm a big rides girl! Bring on the roller coasters and High rides for me! My very favorite ride though is the Re-Entry. It takes you up just over 200 feet holds you for 10 seconds and then gives you a bit of a free-fall back to earth and even though I'm always scared and antsy while waiting for it to drop as soon as it does I just start laughing.
Yesterday Tyson and I went to Warped Tour. It was my second time and both times were extremely amazing and made memories I could have gotten no where else. I honestly right now am feeling better than I have in a long time. If you are the type who can handle concerts I highly encourage you to go if you ever have the chance! I hopefully will go again.... it is well worth the money that you pay for anything there!!!
So, yeah that's what has been going on with me... I was going to put up some pictures but they all show up weird so if you want to see pictures I will get them up on facebook soon.
