We're going to Stadium of Fire!


Yesterday, I got a call from my mom and she told me that she won 6 tickets to go to Stadium of Fire! I've never been but I feel very fortunate due to all of the crazy parents that would chop off their right arm to have their child see Miley Cyrus. Honestly I could care less about seeing the teen diva, but I guess I'm excited because everyone is making such a big deal about it. Haha, well I'll have to give you updates about how it is!

Today on Doug Wright, FLDS Dresses

Teen Princess Dress


This is their underwear that young girls wear!
Today while traveling to my internship at Gardner Village I got stuck in traffic for 35 mins. Being almost a "fully educated" person I like to listen to intellectual things on the radio. I love listening to KSL in the morning to hear what is happening around the world and in Utah. Listening to the news I tend to listen to Doug Wright's talk radio at 9 am. Well this morning Doug's topic was on the FLDS women and how they started their own clothing line http://www.fldsdress.com/. It's online and he was making fun of how boring the website looked and how it needed some more "pizazz!" He was asking listeners to call in with some of their creative ideas for the FLDS clothing line.


I'm stuck in traffic and I started to think. I came up with this: Breed Them Young Outfitters. It would be complete with teen wedding gowns. I thought that I had a good idea, so I decided to call up Doug and give him a piece of Courtney Killpack's imagination. When I told him my idea he said that it was pretty brutal, but I did get a laugh out of him. Then all of a sudden I was cut off, I could hear myself on the radio and I guess he thought I lost my call. Anyway, it was something fun to do while your stuck in traffic. I recommend doing this because nobody will know it is you, so if you make a fool out of yourself, life will go on.

Fishing Weekend


This weekend McKay and I went fishing at Strawberry Reservoir. We went with my father in-law and my brother in-law Johnny. By the way Johnny was ordained an Elder today. He is getting ready to put in his papers. We are so proud of him!


Back to fishing. We woke up at 5:30 a.m. so we could get to lake in peak fishing conditions. I was smart and brought with me a book, magazine, nail polish, snacks, and my ipod. I caught a fish that was 18 inches long! I felt so bad about catching it that I released it into the water. I kept busy with my magazine and book. It wasn't that bad and it was good weather outside.

Cousin!






This week my best friend and dear cousin Erin came home from studying abroad and backpacking through Europe. I seriously missed her so much. She's been gone for two months and I can officially say that Summer has started. I love you cousin!

Our New Addition to our Family

This isn't our dishwasher, I just thought it was cool looking


This week McKay went onto KSL Classifieds and bought us our first portable dishwasher! For all of you that have lived without a dishwasher it is such a blessing to have one. It's hard when you go from a nice apartment that has one and when you get married you move into a crapier place with no dishwasher :( You have no idea how many times I've just wanted to cry because we have a week worth of dishes in the sink and don't have time to do them! This has lighten our burdens so much! Seriously this has changed our lives for the better because our apartment won't stick anymore!
