GO UTES!!!

Utah 31 Oregon State 28

The game came down to the last 2 seconds, i lost my voice, i had to pee but couldn't leave cuz it was too exciting. But the Utes pulled out a W, and i made it to the bathroom in time.....HOORAY!!

help!!!

so arron and i are going to NEW YORK in December for my birthday/Christmas....HOORAY, i'm pretty excited because i have never been to New York and plan on being the ultimate tourist, you know: foam statue of liberty hat, camera around my neck, the whole bit...but hotels are OUTRAGEOUS, and i was wonder if any of you; friends or blog stalkers, have been to new york and know any tricks that might help in finding reasonably priced lodging? :) thanks, love you all.

GoOd bYe SumMeR!!

Its been an amazing summer at the echols house, and i'm so sad to see it come to an end, but... I LOVE THE FALL, so its bitter sweet. its a little harder to go boating when its 60 degrees outside and the water temperatures lower then that, but how do complain about the smell of fall, snow skiing and all the holidays to come? You dont!!! you just embrace every season while it lasts.....thats why i live in UTAH!!!

So what better way to send summer out with a bang then to go to one of my favorite places on earth with some of my favorite people. Arron and i took a bunch of our friends up to our cabin and even though the weather was a little less then perfect, we still got in plenty of boating, tubing, water skiing and wake boarding to hold us over until next summer, along with a sufficient amount of eating, playing games and relaxing. We had such a blast!!!!! So i'm saying good bye to summer and hello to fall. Thanks for the great memories!

CONGRATULATIONS BABE!!!

Arron passed the final section of the CPA exam, we found out today, and i'm freaking out. i'm so proud of him, he has worked so hard over the past 18 months studying his little butt off. He is officially a certified public accountant. So for everyone who has supported him and been pulling for him, its finally over. HE DID IT.
~Great job babe, i love your guts!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I got bored, what can i say? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

so i was just sitting at my computer listening to the radio one morning and i thought to myself, i want to go see how they produce this show (the Z morning zoo)....so i emailed them and just said, I have friday off can i come in and do the show with you? and about 3 hours later Frankie emailed me back and said, "sure, see you friday" so thats what happens when i get bored, i come up with some crazy idea, and end up at a radio station. I had a lot of fun. its pretty cool how everything works, and Frankie, DB and Jessica were super cool and way funny. i might just do it again. :)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Breaking Dawn at Midnight * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tiffany, Megan, Shanna and myself went to deseret book at midnight to get "breaking dawn". I think it got a little late for us "old ladies" cuz bye the time they let us in to get the book we were all losing our minds. Megan couldn't stop screaming, Tiffany who hasent even read eclipse yet, was there just for the ride, and didn't even get a book. However started reading eclipse on the way home (note the book is upside down). shanna couldn't wait to get home to read it, so started and finished the book on the drive home... she was driving, that was a problem. On the way home we drove past the line at Barnes and Noble which was about 1000 sorry losers deep and taunted them with our screams, waving our books in their faces. hahaha. we didn't get a very warm reception. Hmmm i wonder why. to sum it all up, we are hip and cool. ha ha love you girls.

**************** Flash back 10 years, what were you up to? ***************
