State Fair

This last weekend Billy and I went to the Arizona State Fair with our friends Heidi, Jeff and of course Maylee. We had a great time and watched the Crazy 8 Car Race (which is not as good as a demolition derby). Billy and I saw some people from our old single's ward so it was fun to have a small reunion.
The fair is really expensive, so Billy and I bought 20 tickets to play games and to go on rides. The 20 tickets got me one ride and Billy 2 shots at a basketball game. That was a quick $10 down the drain. I am interested to see how all the people spend so much money there. I had fun on the ride, and unfortunately, Billy's shots didn't go in (although the second one was close).

That was the ride that Jeff and I went on. We were spun in circles and the arm swung us high up in the air. For all of you who know me well, I love thrill rides...even at the Fair!

Here we are as we are about ready to leave. It was a good time and will last a few years I am sure! :)

California Fun

About a week and a half ago, I had the opportunity to go to my brother's house in California for my niece Rosemarie's baptism. Unfortunately, Billy was not able to come because he was hanging out with his sister Jana who was in Phoenix that same weekend (bad timing...I know!). I had a lot of fun with my family and am so proud of Rosemarie of making the decision to be baptized. She really is a very smart girl in the gospel.

While I was there, we went to the Rosemarie and Fenton's soccer games, celebrated Rosemarie's Birthday and had a baptism. It really was a very busy day.

I had a great time with my family. We are always so busy when we are together. I was sad that Billy couldn't make it...but luckily it was only for a couple days! I was ready to come home to warm Arizona because it was freezing at my brothers!

Super Hero Day...

This past week was Academic Counselor appreciation week at work. We had fun activities throughout the week to show us that we are appreciated. On Wednesday, it was Super Hero Day. I decided to dress up as a teenage mutant ninja turtle, since I didn't have anything else to dress up as. People definitely thought mine was the most original...and I actually had fun.

Here is my team...

What Does Kati Mean???

So I saw this on my friend Sarah's blog. I was interested to see what my name meant. I agree with some of the qualities, but let's all agree that I am not a Type A personality...

What Kati Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
