Highlights of my week...
Well to start the week off I got the common cold that was going around my job, but besides that my week was very different...
Monday- I didn't have to work! So I stayed home with my mom! I love her so much! Also I went to FHE to an farm equipment museum... it was very interesting to see all the old tractors that they fixed up.
Tuesday- I went to work even though I was sick, so I got sicker... I was at work from 8am to 7pm. The sad part was that I was suppose to volunteer at the festival of trees with mom, but I worked too late, and was too sick to serve food to others :P. I guess I have to wait another year so I can work it again!
Wednesday- I stayed home from work, and stayed in my PJs all day watching movies... oh and I watched my mom play wii! lol But the worst part was that I had to stay home from country dancing.
Thursday- I went back to work :P. But the weather was really nice, and it was a day full of laughs. Besides being on cold drugs all day, I was wearing a backpack to carry my water bottle. I started to feel wet down to my knees, but little did i know that my water bottle didn't have the lid on tight and I walked a whole mile with it leaking down my legs. I looked like I had wet my pants. the funny part was that it missed my bottom and only got the insides of my legs! :P But that wasn't the only that happened. We dug our whole field all 150 something bags, and 10 miles later, took our lunch break only to find that we had to dump all our samples and leave the dirt in the field. Talk about getting paid for nothing. Turns up that one of the owners of the field didn't want us to have their dirt. So c'est la vie I guess! But while we dumped all the dirt back, we just laughed and made jokes about how silly we felt. After that I had institute that night, which made my day even better!
Friday- Was a pretty blustery day, but we worked in it anyway. The best part was that we kept joking about how we left the country, because we were in Fort Hall, which is of course a reservation! So that was funny. The worst part was that we came across a fetal calf, or how over you would say it. Apparently somebody had come along and skinned the momma cow, and took everything but the baby and the cowhide. It was so sad, the calf was even still in its sack and underdeveloped. We could see the eyes and ears though. It was interesting and disgusting at the same time!
Anyway on a lighter note, I went the whole day with my zipper down. :P
Oh BTW make sure you go and see The Blind side its one of the best movies I've seen in a while!
Well hope you had a great week! Oh and have a great thanksgiving! I can't wait for Melissa Lincoln and the kids to come!!
I also should have a new nephew in the next few days! Can't wait for that either!! Here is for hoping Sean and Brittany!

Best Picture program thus far!!
So I just discovered how cool Picasa is!! I'd heard of it before, but I decided to try it out when I wanted an easier way to blog a mass amount of pictures... So here are a bunch of pictures of Lauren and I from the summer when they were visiting. We used Photo Booth on my Mac and it was a real blast!!
One of the best parts of Picasa is that after you make really easy Collage, you just push the button that says "blog it" and it just puts it on your blog. Oh google... you are just so great!! The other great part is that is works so well with my baby... aka my mac, oh and it does the face recognition thing where it finds all the faces that look alike and tags them together! Plan on seeing many more pictures like this... because its so easy!!
Well I'm still new at this program... but I still recommend it!! What a time saver!!
Playing with Grandpa and Aunt Katie at the Cabin!

Just an update
So I'm trying to be more up to date on this thing!
To start out, I am apologizing up front for what may appear to be rambling. Everything may sound odd or strange or random that I write, but with my ADD brain this is all your getting!! If you don't like it, go read someone else's blog!
Anyway I'm still dirt digging at the USDA. We have actually been so bored that some of us have come up with a song while digging. It goes to the tune of Ghost busters,
"When theres something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call... dirt scoopers" (usually when saying dirt scoopers I "wix my mords up" and everyone teases me, so thats pretty fun :P)
then the song continues on with that general theme. I don't really remember all the words, because we must have been tired or something when we wrote it. Every verse was followed by hysteric laughing and references to a dragon with little tiny purple wings (only sandy and jordan will ever understand), and it was a good time for all... well most likely not for the other people (not so crazy) around us. That is not the only occurrence of this happening, as the holidays draw nearer we have also been known to put dirt digging lyrics to Christmas songs.
Also at work, there must be some people kissing piggies, because my crew has been pretty small. We usually have a crew of 6 and therefore I have to seat in the front middle of our truck, but I haven't had to sit there for like a whole week. Anyway the swine flu shouldn't be such a big deal, but I sure as heck do not want it!! There is too much going on.
So in case you haven't noticed USDA has become my life. This is only because with the season drawing to a close, we have been working extremely long hours. Last Friday I worked 7am to 6pm. I practically have my 40 by Thursday. Then I get home and have barely enough time to shower and run out the door to whatever I have going on. So if your wondering why I spend so much time talking about it, it is only because that is all I do, not because I am obsessed!! The other week I only had Sunday off!! Talk about a long tiring week!!
So speaking of being busy, it is also Halloween, so I thought I would share a normal week in the life of... well... me silly. It is the Katie Jean update, not the Velma sue update or the whatever to the whatever update.
So this last week we will start with Monday: which of course was FHE with the singles branch, where we went to Leo's place and played laser tag (I was way good at it BTW for the first time in my life) Then Tuesday: I went to a bridal shower for a girl I work with. She is getting married in the Palmyra temple, I am so excited for her!! Then on Wednesday: I usually go Country dancing, but I felt like I was coming down with something so i decided it would be best to stay home! Thursday: There is usually institute but my branch had baptisms instead, and I probably could have gone to both, but we had dinner at the temple at the same time as institute... who would want to miss that. One of the coolest things about the temple, is that the girl that went before me was baptized for a princess... I real live Princess!! It was so cool, it was part of her title. Princess [some name I can't pronounce] of [some place I can't pronounce or remember]!!!! Friday: was so great, me and 9 friends went to the haunted mill to be scared and then to applebees for their half off appetizers!! I wasn't that scared of the mill, but my friend clinging to my arm made the whole night worth it!! She screamed bloody murder at anything that came her way. I'm sure she made the spooks day!
Oh the other great part was the girls behind us, we would go through one particularly scary part and not really scream or anything; but the girls behind us screamed and jumped so much, I actually started clapping for them, and asked for an encore! Then Saturday: was way nice because they told us the day before we would have to work, and then ended up calling us and telling us that it was too wet! Then Sunday(today): I got to church and the power was out in the seminary building, so we all crowded in one classroom that had the most sunlight! Talk about a very cozy and relaxed Sacrament meeting! All in all it was a pretty great week. I wish I had a picture of the week, but sadly I do not, so I will share a blurry picture from September's get connected that showcases one of the lovely Hawaiian shirts we had in a prop box!! Don't worry shoulder pads are included!
Well that is all, if you don't think I'm funny... to bad because I think I am! Have a great day!

its been a while...
So its been a while since I posted anything... so I just thought that I would say whats been going on with me. Its not been an extremely exciting while, but I can at least try.
Well recently I have been obsessed with Zebra patterns, and I get way excited every time I see a zebra object that is cute (Cute being the prime word). So this being said, I bought a new wallet!
Then at Kohls I almost brought a pink zebra shirt that was cute!! But it was just a little too small, therefore it would probably shrink in the wash. So my goal is now to find another pink zebra shirt, so if you see one... let me know!!
Well next topic: Work! I have been working for the USDA for 2 seasons now, and I am working on my 3rd. I claimed that I would never go back... but here I am again digging dirt. So here are some pictures of what goes on!!
Tyvek pants malfunction!! Who knew 2X could be so large!!
Pretty water/canyon/gorge of some sort, near the "garden of eden"... the gas station
Oh so just a work story for you! It was pretty late in the day and we probably should have been done digging for the day, but the bosses decided that we needed dig one more field. So as we were walking out to the field... there was about 11 boys and me going to dig, and a couple of crew leads (watching). I thought I would be funny and run alittle, but while I was running I kicked one guys digger (spade with long rod for handle) out of his hand and stuck into the ground just perfectly that I stepped over it with one foot, but caught it with the other foot. Then before you knew it I was down and all I remember was that I kept falling, I didn't just hit my knees... I made it all the way to almost my head on the ground in a little heap(I might remind you that I was the only girl around many guys watching) but I wasn't on the ground for long, I was up in lighting speed. Everyone was laughing...HARD, and to make even better, when I got up I just kept running. I guess I trying to pretend like it never happened(too bad it really did happen). My friend Adam literally laughed the entire time we were in the field, and part of the way home!! It was pretty bad, but I thought that is was more funny than anything, I didn't get hurt at all... except maybe my pride! >:-)

So...
I made a pie!! In my cooking class we make all sorts of things, and the other week she decided that we would make apple pies. So here is my finished product!! It wasn't as easy as it looks but it turned out pretty good I think... and tasted even better!! I'm pretty proud!

Favorite photo ever!!
So I was looking through some pictures and I really just had to share this fantastic picture I took at the double birthday party!! ENJOY!!
project 4
This is the 4th project I did last week! My projects are usually very girly or very silly, but I found the picture of barbed wire, and decided I better do something with it! Its a bit serious, but I think it turned out really nice!
Its the famous picture of the Dust Bowl/Great Depression, overlapped with a fence of barbed wire!
The project had to have text on it, so I picked some random quote... :)

Drum roll please... just kidding
So this semester I am taking a design class, and I'm really enjoying it! Here is my first project! The first one is my rough draft, but then I decided to make a new one, and change it completely!!
Final one I turned in!
The only problem with the brown one, was that the words came from a poorly written document, and I thought I fixed all the errors, but on the one I printed and turned in spelt college wrong (collage). Also I must have made my text boxes a little small, because the one I turned in was missing the word choice from the first yellow circle, and programs from the orange bubble! Oh well... C'est la vie!
Well I'll try to post my projects as they come! Have a great day!!

brace-less!
So I'm the worst blogger ever, but anyways I got my braces off like a week and a half ago for the second time! They were only on the bottom, but I think they were plenty noticeable! I was always getting the empathy card from other people, they'd be like: i've had those before and I'd say so have I. Which throws them off. The truth is that I had them in Junior High, and I was really bad about wearing my retainer so my teeth were over-lapping on the bottom middle! So here are some picture: Before, During, and After!

Keeping promises!
So pretty much I promised you guys many things, so... Today I w
ill post some pictures from island park...sorry they are a little out of order :(
Look they actually let me drive!
This is at Big Juds we all split the giant burgers, I ate about a 1/3 of one!!
This is us playing out in the snow the night we got there. It was a full on fight, I never knew my roommates were so aggressive! They took those boys down!
This is just before we went out on the snowmobiles. Natalie's mom tried to give me one of the little girl's helmets, but little did she know that just because I'm little does not mean that I have a little head!! lol! So we had to trade helmets around.
This is us again the night before: Natalie's mom even joined in she really has some great wrestling moves!
Getting our snow stuff on to go out for our snow fight!
Well yep these are the pictures! It was way fun!

Sad times! :(
So as hopeful as I was I didn't win the wrist band competition :(... but I didn't lose either! There was 4 of us in the running and the 2 boys took theirs off at the same time... although it was because they were going to the temple! So i'm not really sure if its a good thing that I won against them, or if that makes me sinful for not doing baptisms in a while. But anyway there was another girl involved, and i am pretty sure hers is still on to this day! Mine was on for a totally of 6 weeks... that is pretty nasty, not gonna lie! But I made it to midterms! I'll post pictures if you want! I'm pretty sure the winning prize was Craigo's... but we will see! :)

silly bets
So the beginning of every semester we get these bracelets that let us in to I-night, the on campus party. Well one my friends named ryan started this competition with a group people(me included) of who could keep theirs on the longest. So far I am pretty much beating ryan because his is falling off, guess he isn't as gentle as me! Although I am not sure if it is something to be proud of... oh well. Anyway we are to 4 weeks and counting, i'll let you know when I win!!
So another fun thing... I am part of the Devotional Board this semester for SSE and for our training/ get to know you retreat, we went to Big Judds to have the hunger heifer ice cream! Craziness 15 scoops of every ice cream you could want and 5 toppings! They also serve it to you in a Dog bowl... sick!! So we had a competition between our board and the Showcase board to see who could eat it first! We lost... but its all good cause it was so fun!! at least it means we aren't pigs haha!!
things to keep looking for...
>Me and my roommates are going to island park this weekend, so I will be sure to post pictures I am positive that Natalie's cabin is going to be amazing!
>I am in a ski class this semester and I am pretty much amazing, so just wait!
>I am also the enrichment leader in my Relief Society so I will try to keep you updated on how that is going. Our first activity is Wednesday... I'm slightly nervous!!
>The before and after shots of an amazing braces removal... but its up to Dr Strobel!
