Mountain Biking

So...I recently went mountain biking in Moab. It was basically the first time I have REALLY been mountain biking and the first time I had been to Moab. I will get to my biking experience in a minute...but first off let me just say that Moab is beautiful. It is was so fun, other than the weather. (It was mostly cloudy and cold, and the second day was pouring rain, but you make the best of it right?) The picture below is just one I found online (I will post some later, I need to get some from my friend), but you can see the redrock and get an idea of what it looks like. There are tons of trails to hike on or bike, there are caves to explore, you can go rock climbing/repelling, etc. The weekend we went was "Jeep Safari" Weekend, so we went and watched all the crazy people with their huge jeeps and crawlers, and watched them do their rock crawling. My friend, Chad, also took us up in his Jeep and did a little bit ourselves. It was pretty fun and totally scary! Haha.

So onto my mountain biking story...We all decided to rent bikes and go for a ride. At first they all wanted to go out to "Slick Rock" which is really hard and I was like ummm I might die...and the fact that I haven't ever really gone before combined with the lady at the bike store telling me that they commonly call that trail the "Breakup Trail" because guys try to take their girlfriends or wives on it and it's way too hard, and telling me about all of the elements of the trail that I would have no idea how to handle was pretty much making me want to pee my pants...SO finally we decided not to do that one. Thank Goodness! We went to another one, which actually wasn't too bad and I thought was really fun. We all went on the first trail and then split off so the guys could do a harder trail. Chad was a sweetheart and took Brit, Kami, and I on an easier one so that we wouldn't seriously injure ourselves, but I still ate it about 3 pretty good times. Needless to say I have a huge scrape on my thigh, with a matching bruise, pedal marks on each leg, a gouge from a cactus needle in my leg, a bruise and scrape down my arm, a couple of bruises on my knees, etc etc. You get it. Also, I don't think any of us could move the next day. So sore! Haha, we had about a ten mile ride back in, which wouldn't be too bad (since I'm used to road biking), but I wish I had the padded butt pants!

I could have given up after the first trail and headed back with one of the guys who decided to go back on the main road, but I decided to stick with it and go on the second trail. I had a lot of fun, and I'm really glad that I tried something new. I think from now on whenever I have a new experience present itself to me, I will do my best to take the opportunity and try something new. Even though I found out that mountain biking is not exactly something I'm super good at and maybe not my very favorite thing to do at least I tried and I got out and did something new. I had a ton of fun with my friends, and I would have been so mad if I had just headed back or sat in the motorhome because it was not very good weather. Also, I love Moab. I really hope I get to go back when it's better weather so that I can try more new things there!

Long-lasting Sandals

I'm one of those kind of girls that likes to buy items that will last me a good amount of time, this includes sandals. I know we all hate buying $20 to $40 sandals that only last you about a month and a half. Why not invest in sandals that will last you longer? What I mean is if you pay more for a pair you know will last you a VERY GOOD amount of time, it will be so much more pleasing and easier to let go of some extra cash (plus, their extremely comfortable once you slip your feet into them). 

Three top favorite brands you should check out our:

Mini Shopping Spree

Hey guys! Friday night I went out on a MINI shopping spree for work, look at what I got! 

(All of this was bought at Target)

    So now that I have to take my laptop with me to work, I bought this bag that fits it perfectly! (My computer is a 15.5in - I think! lol) The brand is a Merona. Originally the one I really wanted was dark blue and brown, but they no longer had it so I got this black and brown one, which I love just the same! I tried to take a picture of the inside, but it came out to dark. I will just explain it, theirs 2 medium pockets that can hold phones or anything that size, and then theirs 2 pencil/pen pockets. Price was $24.99.

     If you read my Friday intern post, you know I have to attend a wedding rehearsal Friday April 29th and the wedding is obviously April 30th. Amber told us that if we had a watch, to make sure we wear it. I have NEVER owned a watch before, so i decided to get one, nothing fancy, just one that tells time (lol). So I bought this Merona women's watch (I just noticed that it's the same brand as my purse this morning -slow moment). Price was only $9.99 (DEAL!)
Finally I bought this Kraft Padfolio that I'm IN LOVE with! As you see the top/front of it is a clipboard, which I think will be great to have at a wedding with the schedule in my hands! Then in the inside theirs a little folder on the left and a writing pad on the right (it comes with a regular black pad, but I changes it to the prettier one I bought a while ago at Office Max -it was 2 for $3) Price of the Padfolio was $4.99.

SO EXCITED!

Today went GREAT! I got their a little early, so after waiting a couple minutes Maleena (the other intern) also arrived. Then right after so did Amber (the lead planner). So once we came in, she told us that she was about to go into a meeting downstairs, but right after we will talk about our upcoming event. While she was at the meeting she had us read over the Timeline of Events, Vendor and Arrival Time sheet, the Ceremony Outline, and the overall Arrangement of the Floor Plan. Just going over this by ourselves already had me getting a little overwhelmed/excited. So then 15mins after all that the assistant planner, Jennifer, arrived. She told us that shes been working on a calendar that we can all share, put our availability on, add events, and also meetings. Jennifer had found a couple pretty good ones and she wanted us as a group to decide on one, and we did (its called Cozi, have you heard about it?). We worked on that for a while, then Amber came back. She went through the WHOLE WEDDING from start to finish! Explaining everything were in charge with, everything that will be going on, and making sure we understand everything! So that was pretty much it. The wedding rehearsal that were all attending is April 29th and the actual wedding is April 30th! I'm so excited! You guys have no idea! :D
