Okay. Let's just get this straight, once and for all.
They are called The Beatles.
Not the Beatles.
Not Beatles
And DEFINITELY not The Beetles.
If you get confused, it's written right on Ringo's drums.
Real updates in the near-ish future. Don't pass out from holding your breath.
Good luck to all of us. All fingers crossed.

They All Come Out Of The Woodwork As Soon As You Enter International Water.
Hiya Kitties!
Welcome to my international post. Greeting from the Gateway to the West, Utah! I know that my trip went unannounced, so sorry if you have been looking for me in all of my regular stomping grounds and have not been able to find me.
Even though my life at home isn't overly stressful, it has been nice to get away, visit with my family that I don't see too often, spend loads of time with my super cute niece and enjoy all the fun that Utah has to offer us.
But, sadly there is one thing that I am still not loving. The bugs. I love my grandparents very much and their house has a lot of sentimental memories for me, but it also has a lot of bugs. Living in the country, it really is only a matter of time before these creepy things made their way inside.
In fact as I am writing this, two...no wait three giant spiders are dangling overhead. Oh wait, I just spotted another one. Four spiders. And last night as I went to put on my pajamas, a beetle (not the singing kind) fell out. If everyone hadn't been sleeping I would have for sure screamed. I always think the problem is going to get better, but sadly it never does. I'll just have to suck it up and put the fear out of my head. I just won't look up at the ceiling for a while. Besides, think how grateful I am for the small spiders we have at home.
Moving on. My cousins and I were able to the attend the Salt Lake Temple on Monday to do baptism for the dead. I strangely, even with all of my time down here, have never been to another temple besides the Alberta Temple. I appreciated the significant differences and styles between the two temples and was in awe and some bit jealous over the extra large change room and showers! Hopefully we might be able to attednd a couple other temples during my time here.
I sadly am not much of a traveller. I miss my home in the trees, my 'no kids allowed' ward and my funny roommate. But I have been enjoying all the extra time with my family, and delicious, delicious Mexican food.
That's about it for now. I will update again soonish. But in the meantime and in between time, best of luck to all of you.

So I Play The Numbers Game To Find A Way To Say That Life Has Just Begun
Oh my. I do have a lot to discuss, sorry it has just taken me so long to actually write it on here.
I realize I am posting some of these stories out of chronological order, but I will write about the going ons at the 25+ Conference in due time. Patience, my dear, patience.
So Tuesday, along with Natalie Portman, Johnny Depp and Donald Duck, my birthday came around for another year.
Even though I was hopping to slip into 28 unnoticed, I knew with party throwing friends like mine, it was nearly impossible to not celebrate.
Last Sunday we had a jam packed beverage/karaoke party where we belted out horrifically cheesy pop songs, with mocktails in hand. Just like those old tyme Weekday Eves of yore, it was the perfect ending to an already bizzare week.
Monday, Jenny and I headed to my parents' house for a quieter celebration and a wonderful feast of my favourite foods, including hot dogs, which I don't understand excatly why, but I can't seem to get enough of these days.
So with my secret wish of a quiet birthday already gone, I have spent the rest of the week celebrating this funny milestone with dinners, lunches, ice cream and funny presents. It has been a blast, and I am grateful for all the love I have from friends and family.
It really is strange to be 28. Not that my life has change one bit from being 27, or that I even feel anything closer to 20 inside, but more the odd idea that 30 is in the not to distant future, or that even 18, feels like more than a lifetime ago. Where did time go? How did we get so old so quickly?
In any regard, I really am thankful for all that I have, and all of the countless people who really do love me. Thanks for making another birthday so successful.
Lots of new posts in the works. Keep your fingers crossed that they will be published soon.
Good luck to us all.

And I'm Not Quite Down With The Way They Roll
Sorry I haven't talked to you all in a while. It is hard to believe that it is June. How did we get this far into the year already?
This past Saturday the ladies and I went to Calgary to see Sarah Slean in concert again. The show was simple, the theatre beautiful and Sarah's energy and passion infectious. I think this is why I love Peter Katz so much as well. Both Sarah and Peter put their all into their music and listening to them preform live is like receiving part of their heart. (I know, cheesy) It almost made me wish I was passionate about something more than just apples.
We got home much too late, and shopped in the big city a little too much, but we really did have a good time, and the concert was a perfect ending to a perfect day.
I often forget the good time that the three of us had living together. Some days it seems like more than a lifetime ago that we fell asleep on our front lawn or invented naan pizzas. Sunday night, if we hadn't had enough of each other already, Ashley came over to partake in our ever delicious Mexican food, and enjoy the craziness that is 'Saturday's Warrior.'
If you can believe it, I had never had the privilege of viewing this iconic Mormon movie. And just as I suspected, it was cheesier than I could have ever imagined. We spent the night on the floor, laughing at this over-the-top monstrosity.
The ease of summer is really upon us all, and I have enjoyed the warm evenings and carefree attitudes. It is funny what bit of sunshine can do to a person.
Keep your eyes open for new posts about the mixed emotion weekend that is the 25+ Conference (Seriously, am I that old?) Maybe keep a couple of fingers crossed on my behalf.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Good Luck, and by all means, God Speed.
