1st Day of School!
Today I started class at my 3rd college today! I am now attending CSN the community college here in Vegas because it's a whole lot cheaper. I don't understand... it's the same knowledge that I will be learning so why does it have to be so darn expensive? Oh well... when I got to the campus I couldn't find the building I needed and as soon as I entered one of the buildings the rain was pooring soo hard that the power went out. Great... I have no idea where I am and I have no light! I finally found 2 girls just standing there and asked them if they knew where I was supposed to be going. They said since the power went out their teacher let them out early and they would walk me to my classroom. Great! I was already late and they were really good guides. So I finally made it just about 10 minutes late. It was so awkward! The teacher had already started and was taking roll and passing out the syllabus. Thank goodness I was able to quickly find a seat. Anyways... before I left for school I had Torri snap a few photos of me on my first day at a new school!

Who would have thought?? Twice in one month
So... since I had a great Christmas and got a laptop for Christmas I thought I would try and see if I could post pictures from this computer. So you're getting a bonus this month! Don't get used to it because we all know I most likely will not keep this record up! : ) Here are a few pictures from last year and a few from this year and my trip to Reno. I see a Dr. in Reno and it works out pretty well since that's where Rudy lives. So I got to go and party with Rudy on New Year's Eve and then have my blood drawn on Monday before I came home yesterday. Hopefully we'll be able to see what my genes say and then figure out what's wrong with me. Anyways... I hope you are able to enjoy some of these pictures.
This is me and Andrew making my cool pirate cupcakes that I got to take to work.
This was a learning experience for me. You're probably all a lot smarter then me and already knew this, but I was unaware that geese had tongues. I really had no idea that they looked as closely to ours as they do. But I was excited to have the goose stick his tongue out at me. Although... I probably won't be as thrilled if you decide to stick yours out at me.
This is Rudy and me at his parent's house on Sunday after church. His brother likes my camera so it wasn't hard to get him to take our picture.
I am the ward activities chairman in my ward and since I'm in a single's ward at times I get to plan valley wide activities. Luckily I have a great brother who will support me in my calling on occasion. November was my ward's month to plan the valley wide activity and we did a hoe down. This is us right before we started the cleanup process.
Rudy came to visit me over Halloween since it is also Nevada Day and the courts were closed so I got it off! We were going to go to a party so we dressed up and got to take the boys out trick-or-treating before the party. We were the only adults that were dressed up, with the exception of Lacey, so we got to take the kids to the doors. It was great fun!
While I was in Reno I went ice skating for my very first time! I was so excited and seemed to be doing great! I made it around the rink several times without falling so I decided to get fancy and try jumping. I did successfully several times, but then as I was trying to get a good jump for the camera I fell. : ( But it only happened once the whole time we were out! I was really proud of myself... but then again I did have someone holding my hand and my arms for the majority of the time so if I got tipsy he caught me! I highly recommend it!
We also went and saw the movie Avatar in 3-D while I was there and Rudy wanted us to keep our glasses so we could take a picture. I'm surprised we actually did.
This is Emerald Bay in South Tahoe... isn't it pretty?
I'm the marketing department for my lawfirm so I get to be incharge of all sorts of fun things. The partners decided that we should have firm pictures taken, so I used my hook-up (BJ) to come and take our pictures. I think he did a pretty good job.
Randi and I in Hyram on Memorial Day. It's always fun to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jones's graves. It's like a mini family reunion since Joe and Bonnie come from Nebraska, BJ from Vegas, My parents from Elko (and this year I came with mom since I was still bumming around in Elko), and of course the distant travelers... Randi and LaWayne. It's always a good time as we walk around the cemetary looking at all the family graves and then head over the hill to Chili's for a quick 3 hour lunch!
