Nothing Better to Do

Hello long lost family and friends... I know I said I was going to be better about updating my blog, well I sort of have failed since I'm going to do it now. And its mostly because I am sitting here at work with nothing better to do. So let the updates begin... Well Ryan graduated at the end of April and has been looking for a new job. He was working at a party supply store that was good for him while he was in school due to the flexible hours. But since he doesn't need that he wanted to find something so he can get out of that. The job hunt across the country hasn't been working out so well for him. So he decided to look for something a little closer around here just so he can make better money and want to be at his job. Well this past Wednesday he found a job. Its at Myler Disabilty in American Fork. Its a law firm that works with disabled people to help push for social security checks and some other things that doesn't make complete sense to me. They say if you stay at the first position there for like 3 months, you are doing something wrong. So he gets to move up quite a bit. We are super excited for this new development in our life. So it looks like we will be sticking around here for a little bit. Our next thing we are looking for is a new place to live. We both live about 20 mins from our jobs right now and as much as we love being in Orem/Provo we are ready to get out! You would think this would be pretty easy but it isn't. Since we have Buster we can't seem to find something that isn't soooo expensive and will allow pets. So the hunt is on for that. One week from today I will be on a plane heading for Georgia (unfortunately without my husband) to be there for my sister's wedding. I'm excited to be home with my family and share in my sister's special day! I'm also nervous yet excited to be the one that makes her cake! Its gonna b great! Speaking of cakes they haven't been really there since we didn't really know what our situation was gonna be as far as if we were going to move or what... But now that we know I will be putting myself out there again and start making some cakes! Lets see what else is new.... Ah I went to Zion National Park a couple of weeks ago. It was fun... sort of. We get all our stuff set up at our campsite and we head out for our first hike. We were going to the Emerald Pools. It has three different levels, upper, middle, high. I'm not sure if we were heading up to the middle or the high because the were going the same direction at first and then branches off. But I wouldn't know because we didn't get there. Why you ask? Well we were heading up a ways and it was pretty steep, and may I also mention, it was 100 some odd degrees there. Since I have put on some weight it was a little difficult and Ryan totally fine with going my pace. We take a break on some flater land and shade. Once we stop I'm seriously huffing and puffing. I lean against a rock and suck on some water. The next thing I know everything goes dark and I somewhat feel lighter then all the sudden pain. Then I hear Ryan saying Allyson are you ok? And I reply. Yeah it just hurts get me up.. All with my eyes close. There was an Asian group right behind us and some help pick me up and my sunglasses and whatever else had fallen off of me. I sit completly on the ground and finally realize what the heck just happened. I started to cry for a number of reasons. 1- I'm embarressed. 2- Besides some body parts that hurt, my pride was hurt. 3- I seriously didn't think it was real. 4- I'm upset that there are heavier and older people that aren't having as hard as a time I was. 5- I felt bad that I was slowing Ryan down. So I regain some strength and we head back down the way we came. I went to wash the dirt off of some of my scrapes and we took it easy the rest of the day. We will try that again once I am in better shape that is for sure and also when it isn't so dang hot. Good story huh?!?! This is about the most recent fun stuff that is happening in the Litterer's life these days. But I will seriously try to keep up with this much better!
