guys...

i feel like my little blog has been a bit neglected lately. i also feel like maybe i haven't been doing anything exciting enough to write about. which means...i need to get my butt in gear and start doing something! 

as you know, i've been taking guitar lessons for a couple of months now. up until this week, i had been renting my guitar. on tuesday i finally bought one. she is a gem. she cost a little more than i wanted to spend, but is totally worth it. i'm trying to come up with a name for her, so if you have any suggestions, please chime in. i kind of like fiona, but am open to other options as well.

my favorite feature

my company (the best company ever) registered for the ragnar relay in colorado. it's september 7 & 8, and i'm signed up to be one of the runners...which means i have 17 weeks to condition myself to run 13 miles. i'm kind of excited to have a goal to train for. i think this is going to be an awesome experience. it will be so much fun with my co-workers, who all pretty much rock. so far this week i've been running twice, and haven't died of a heart attack, so i'd say i'm off to a pretty good start. 

in other news...i'm debating whether or not to renew my lease in august. part of me wants to stay in provo, but a bigger part of me wants to move to salt lake. i feel like i spend most of my time there, so it makes sense. but i love being close to my family in provo...and i really like my ward. really, i can't lose either way...but i'm having a hard time deciding which is the best choice. opinions? 

in other other news...i've had "lazy hair" 2 days so far this week. you know, you get out of the shower, put a little scrunch spray in your hair and call it good. i think i need to start trying harder :)

also, i got my retainer adjusted yesterday. i want to pull my teeth out they hurt so bad. and by they way...if you're ever look for an orthodontist, mine is awesome. all of my appointments so far have been smooth sailing. seriously, yesterday i was in and out in 6 minutes flat. no lie. and he's super funny as well. yesterday our conversation went something like this:

dr. goldsberry: so have you been wearing your retainer 24-7?

me: yes, except when i'm trying to impress people

dr. goldsberry: by people you mean guys?

me: yes, but i don't go on many dates....so i wear my retainer pretty much all the time

dr. goldsberry: hahahahahahahahahahahaha

man, i'm so hilarious. if only everyone appreciated my humor as much as he does. i need to go to the orthodontist more often. he makes me feel good about myself.
