The Hamburger...seven plus years.

So, one sad day a little over seven years ago I ate a hamburger and it was so gross. From then on I stopped eating them. I was completely disgusted by them. The look the taste and the smell. I knew it was all in my head but I couldn't force myself to eat one. I even had dreams about them. All bar b ques lost the appeal they once had. Well I have an announcement..I again like the hamburger. I had only ate one in over seven years up until last week. Since then I have ate three. This is a huge step for me. You might laugh but it is. Here is a picture to capture the deliciousness of it.




Okay this one is huge. The three that I ate have been really thin meat patties. I think I will stick to the thin ones until I am fully ready. Baby steps!! Maybe next I will try a hot dog.

Memories

This is for you Tanya!

Here is a fun little game... Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark...get set...blog your memories!!

Cedar Fort...the greatest small town.

So most people don't know much about the town I grew up in. I love my little town. I just got home from a week of celebrating Pioneer Day and most of it was spent in Cedar Fort. First a few facts about Cedar Fort....

It is located west of Lehi. It takes about forty five minutes to get to Provo or to Salt Lake.


Population (year 2000): 341 That wont change much anytime soon either. They only allow like four houses to be built a year.










They have an Elementary for grades K-5. The higher grades are bused into Lehi for school. They also have a church, post office and small a country store.


Growing up we were always entertained. Being so far from Lehi we all became really good friends. We had the greatest group to hang out with.


We did so many random things...(top ten)

Four wheeling
Horseback Riding
Rabbit hunting in the fields
Rappelling on water towers
Car tag
Bonfires
Camping
Night games
Switching street signs (shh)
Mud wrestling


My favorite thing about Cedar Fort is its celebration of Pioneer Day. It is a five day event. First three days include a concert in the park, town clean up and softball game, town pageant and a big dinner. Then the real fun begins. On the 23rd it is an all out town water fight. No one is safe. Everyone comes out with truck and hoses including all ages. Here are some pictures.















The 24th is celebrated with a breakfast, parade, carnival and a rodeo. It is always such a fun and exhausting day. Here are more pictures.
















Here are some other random pictures from my trip home.










I had such a great time seeing friends and family. Cedar Fort is the greatest small town ever!!
