Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Just saw the movie. Enjoyed it for what it was. Love this poem.

July 14th...

...is the perfect day to wash your car.

yesterday i spent two hours scrubbing the outside of my cute little bmw. the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, the scrubs were scrubbing, the vacuum was sucking, and my car is now nice and clean :)

this week made my life. here are some photos to show you the events which have recently transpired in the lovely city of west yellowsone:

MONDAY: bike ride through yellowsone national park

TUESDAY: horseback riding

THURSDAY: boating with lovely family i served

service

yesterday i had two experiences that i probably wont soon forget.

1) i was serving a table consisting of a young boy, a middle aged father, and an elderly grandfather. the elderly individual took me aside and pointed to a woman sitting two booths over. she had a young girl and boy with her, both under the age of about 6 i would say. the woman herself was probably in her 30s. the old man told me he would like to anonymously pay for the woman's meal. i told brooke and we both thought it was just the sweetest thing. after paying for her food he asked us to slip her an additional $20 bill and tell her to have a good day.

2) two stranger boys from provo (ahem) came into wild west later on in the evening. i walked passed one and he gave me a high five, acting like he knew me (he didnt).

they left without eating, and later came back with a lemon bar. they told me i couldnt have it unless i came and hung out with them after i got off work, however i explained to them my rigorous schedule, informing them that i had to work at 7 the next morning and would not be home until about 1 am. due to these demanding hours i probably wouldnt be able to play that night. they gave me the lemon bar anyway.

basically what i took from these experiences is that it seems to be my turn to perform an act of service. i will be making treats for the cooks and bartenders tonight :)

i love my best friend Tiana. im SOOOOOOO happy for her!!!!

Her wedding this week was beautiful. she looked GORGEOUS and SO HAPPY. im SO GLAD i was able to be there for her wedding!! Congrats T i LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
