My Buddy, My Buddy, My Buddy & Me!!

I have had soo much fun this summer with my friend Jamie, I decided to dedicate a post to her. :) From Kanab to Toby Keith, we know how to live it up and laugh our way to an amazing time together!! We met when i lived in Timpanogos Gateway, (the apt. i just moved from), she lived below me and we suddenly, without me remembering all the details, just started hanging out. It's funny because we had mutual friends in the same social circles, but for whatever reason hadn't met any sooner. We share the same love of sports and same way of living, simple and enjoying every minute. In June I made the TREK, haha but seriously it's about 4 almost 5 hrs. away from Provo, down to Kanab to visit her and her family. She's a teacher and since she had the summer off most of her time was spent home with her family and for me a summer was too long to go without seeing her. :) We had such a blast. We went to Zion's National Park and hiked different trails, it's soo BEAUTIFUL, it's breathtaking!! While we were driving down into the park this gorgeous Hawk kept following us...we got it on camera, it was soo cool!! We saw the Sand Dunes after, I of course loved it and wished i had a four wheeler to ride. :( Pops, Jamie's Dad, made me saddle up on a Horse, which is something i NEVER thought i would EVER do AGAIN in my life--my family knows why...one word LIGHTNING!! It was VERY scary, but as i look at the pictures, i can see why Jamie and her Dad could NOT stop laughing. Jamie took me to their Ranch, and it was just as beautiful as Zion's Park. I loved being in the country and just feeling so calm and relaxed. We had a barbecue, watched the Celtics tear it up and laughed our heads off...It definately was long trip worth taking. :) Anyway, since then we've both moved...but truns out we're only a couple blocks away from each other. Not something we planned but i've loved seeing her more and more. Last weekend we went to Toby Keith together. I must admit...I didn't have the best attitude about going, Toby Keith is NOT my favorite county star, but i knew if Jamie and I were going together we would have a BLAST as usual. And quite the blast it was. :) It wasn't the best weather, it would rain a little, then stop and then rain a little and then stop. But luckily, it never really poured...so we just wore hoodies and sang our hearts out!! When we first got there we had some time to kill. I told her we should take a picture and at the same time noticed the guy in front of us had a Serious Billy Ray Cyrus mullet!! HAha...I Loved it!! I know it's probably really rude, but i moved down a couple seats and we took a couple pictures showing off his sweet hairdo. (The way i see it, he's gotta know, with hair like that of couse people are gonna want to take pictues of it...come on now!!) It was great. Loved every minute and of course LOVE JAMIE!! :)

Miss Tina.
Am I correct to assume that you are mocking that man with the fabulous hair? Looks like you had a GREAT summer! Thanks for sharing with us (finally!)
We also LOVED Zion's National Park this summer. Too bad we couldn't be there at the same time!

Hi Tina--loved the pictures of Zion. Uncle David and I were there in 1999--seems like yesterday. Loved the horse pictures--but you should have shoes on and not flip flops!! Glad you had such a great time.
Love, Aunt Shirley

Jamie said...

You are too kind. I love the picture of you on the horse, but what you failed to mention is the deer head incident. My family still talks about that. :) Love ya!
