Backstreet's Back.

This was a weird experience for me. To be perfectly honest, I'm more of an *NSYNC type of girl myself... But Cyndi just about died. We went to sound check, shook hands, yada yada yada. But, yeah. old guys doin the boy band thing. that was weird. I think they could've had a few less dance breaks, or gotten a few more good backup dancers. But, it was a fun concert. Thanks Kels.

I know it seems like I have a life...

But really I just haven't posted in a super long time. So brace yourself, it may be a bumpy ride.

Okay let's work our way up to most recent events.

I went to dinner with Shelby Ho and Whitney Hansen to plan... SHELBY'S BRIDAL SHOWER! Life is getting weird. People are gettin married, I'm plannin showers. It's crazy. Straight up and down. ;) But, I'm excited. I'm doing everything via email and facebook, I'm proud.

Next. I feel like every time I have a day off I spend it at my work... because the only time I can get people in free is when I can go with them! So, of course, we've taken Easton (pictures to be posted much later, or watch Mom's blog for them) I also took Will and Max. I used to babysit them and now Cassidy does, so it was fun to play with them again, they make me feel old.

Next! Of course, Daddy got some tickets to the Miss Utah pageant. I actually know the girl who won Miss Draper a month or so ago so I thought it'd be nice to go support her... But NO! She'll be in the pageant NEXT SUMMER! haha So, I got to watch a three hour pageant. and didn't know anyone. But! I do LOVE Meg. Oh yeah, this is Meg. She's like my best friend at work. She's actually kind of my "supervisor" now. (more details to follow) But, she's done pageants and what not, so she enjoyed it.

Last, but certainly not least, because there's even another post after this. We got to go to Lagoon for Daddy's work party. Man this week has just been full of hook ups from the Papanwah. Oh yeah, shout out to him for being the bomb diggity. Happy Father's day Dad. Anyway, Lagoon was fun. You can just look at pictures. It honestly freaks me out how alike Leslie Dixon and I are.

Congrats to Kenn for goin on Jet Star. Big accomplishment there.

They... let my boss go... at work. And we all got big fat raises. and I got a desk! So, getting three dollars more and a desk, more hours, more responsibility. I'm loving life. Meg got an even bigger desk and even bigger raise. But, she's older and more experienced, I am NOT complaining. We're having fun making it a team effort instead of having a boss.

Trace comes home in nine days. But who's counting? I can't wait to have someone to just hang out with. I need him, Mythbusters isn't the same without him. Neither is listening to awesome music.

I miss my best friend!!!

I know I know! If I miss him now what am I gonna do for two years. But, I think it's worse because we have constant communication. When he leaves on his mission he'll be gone! He won't be texting me every day! haha. Anyway. I thought now would be a good time for some Trace and Katelin pictures. We've been through a whole crap load together. ha. Well, he's my best friend and I'm so proud of him and his choices.

Let me tell you about Trace, if you don't know him. Trace is the kind of kid that is so laid back it almost stresses you out. He hates plans, he hates big groups, I really don't know how we like each other so much. We are ABSOLUTE opposites.

He won battle of the bands twice in high school, I was homecoming queen... He hated dance company, I was vice president (but he did come to my concert all three years)

But here is what I love about him. Trace is the hardest worker I've ever met. Whether it's school, work, or church, he gets it done. He's worked so hard to prepare for his mission and it's so exciting to see the pile of books next to his bed, all marked up and such.

He loves his family, and has such incredible relationships with his parents and siblings. He never tells secrets. Believe me, I can never get them out of him ;) and he always keeps mine too. He always gives me advice when I ask for it, and even though it's usually "say a prayer", it helps.

And last but certainly not least, he puts up with me. with my loud, perfectionist, planning, stressed out ways. I've calmed down a lot because of him, but hey, who do you think I am? haha there will always be that little Roger in me that's gotta stay on the go.

Anyway, there's my ode to Trace.

Oh did I mention he's freakin hilarious and makes me laught 24/7?

I should win a prize for this.

So I figured out the trick to videoing Easton. Don't use a camera!! I took this on my computer and he had no idea what was going on. But he loved watching himself as it was recording. Then when we watched it after he would say the exact same things he says in the video. I think that if he gets any cuter I'm going to have to start using my inhaler more often.

Also, I love how distracted he gets after I ask him to say mom all he can say is ball. Atta boy.
