Living in the world of numbers...permanently.

So we all know that I seem to have had some pretty crappy luck as of late and I was feeling as though I just couldn't catch a break...with anything. This I will not plunge into too deeply, I will focus more on what has given me some sort of light in my life :)

I was sitting in a somewhat lengthy Accounting team meeting, listening to Mike explain his extensive week, thinking about how unexciting mine my plan was compared to all the important things he had listed, when he turned to me and said "Kati, are you still interested in working for Accounting full time." My heart started to speed up as my eyes got wide and I stutter "Y-y-yes." After I regrouped alittle I found out that I will be switching to the accounting department full time within the next few weeks. No details have really been figured out, but I assume this is my boost in some confidence that has been needed over the last few weeks.

Not as exciting as the "crappy" weekend my sisters had, but at least its an update, and a positive one at that!

Who do I look like?

Utah Football and Beta Alpha Psi

So it has started, the thing I have waited about 10 months for...Utah football. Granted we have already lost 3 players to injuries and have had our egos destroyed in the first two games, but ya know what? It is all okay because Ben and I are residing on the 2nd row for the entire season and don't worry I have a picture to show you how cute we look rockin' the 2nd row.

(aren't we all excited that the stache is gone? Oh don't worry, now we have a mohawk...I'm sure I'll get a picture of that as well)

Anyways, hopefully this week the team can at least not look like complete idiots against UCLA, but we can make no guarantees.

This semester I decided to join the Accounting club Beta Alpha Psi to get exposure to many of the firms and do some schmoozing with the big wigs at other firms...just to keep options open. I truly have no intention of leaving Wasatch if they will keep me around, but you can never be too sure and thus I am ready for whatever comes my way. Beta Alpha Psi has already taught me a lot about what my degree can offer me with the sort of jobs that are available, so if not for anything else, I know what is possible for me.

Weddings...and Fall Semester

It seems as though when you turn 21 all of your friends start to get married, or drop like flies (reference made in last blog's title). Sometimes I just look at the pictures and keep thinking that they are playing house or something because we are all too young to get married, which I'm sure many would agree. Regardless of what people think, these girls still got married and her are some pictures from Brianna and Chelsey's wedding even though the pictures from Chelsey's wedding don't even include her, but they are cute of Ben and I. You can see them all on my picture page, but here are some.

This is at Brianna's reception at Aspen Landing (I think thats what it is called) on March 16, 2007. (left to right, Marie, Amber, Brianna, Me)

This picture to the left is Ben and I at Chelsey Giles' wedding on Friday. It was fun to see some people from high school, but mostly people that used to be in the ward. Ben was so good, he just sat there and let me chat for like an hour and a half....probably because he was pre-occupied with the food.

Fall Semester seems to have meshed with summer semester because I don't feel that I got any sort of a break inbetween the two of them. Fall is going to be a lot more scheduled and rigid than summer was, which will get old quick, but I am excited for my classes. This semester I start my classes for my major and even fit in a class with Ben.

Dropping like flies...

Last week I had the pleasure of throwing a bridal shower for Chelsey Giles, whom I have known for like 15 years (okay so Mom really did everything and I can only take credit for buying part of the gift and some of the food). Anyway, I have a few pictures from it that I thought I would share.

This one, to the left, is obviously Emma and me, but I put this up partly to show that her and I don't really look that much alike and simply because I think it is a good picture of the two of us.

The next one is a picture of Angela Jones, Chelsey, Mary Lynn and I. We all grew up together and this was basically our young womens (Tabitha is missing from the picture) and so it was fun to get together again.

Also last week I went to the Fray concert with Stacey Grow and saw pretty much half of my graduating class and various others from my life...few of which had any idea who the heck I was. It was quite entertaining because I could avoid them and not feel bad because they would have no idea. I saw some people that I hungout with in middle school, namely Chase Jardine who lost a whole person on his mission. The only reason I even recognized him was the fiery red hair. I couldn't get over all night.

Wrapping up July...

I've decided that I need to be a little better at posting some blogs on my page. Even though my sisters basically cover the family portion of my life I figure I can still have my input and then add a few points of interest along the way.

Well, as of last night I am officially finished with Stats for the rest of my college career and could not be happier about it. I took my final in about 25 minutes and in this case it was a good thing. Then I had a relaxing night seeing the movie Transformers. If you walk into it thinking it will be ridiculous, you'll like it.

Last weekend I took my first trip to Lava Hot Springs and didn't even go to the hot pots, but I did manage to accompany Ben and his siblings down the river in tubes. Don't worry I was warned that I should lean back and stay to the left on a certain waterfall so that I didn't fall out of my tube and land myself on the rocks and of course the second time around I managed to completely submerge myself only to surface and find Ben laughing along with his parents who watched from afar. I'm pretty sure I made quite the impression on the Heiner family...they now know that I am an odd duck.











So one of my life goals was to be able to run the Deseret News 10k...and run the whole thing. I finally accomplished this goal and thanks to Rach, I even have a few pictures to show for it. My time was 48:12, which I was fairly happy with even though I had to stop and tie my shoe AND I got a little too friendly with a parking cone.

Reb thinks I look like I'm going to die in these pictures...but by this point I was so happy to see the finish line, I didn't care what I looked like :)















This is Vic, Beck and I after the race...Beck made sure that no one was touching her...thus why we all look like we don't want to be close to one another.

Those were some the exciting events that happened in July and now entering August I will be ending a school semester and beginning another one...never a dull moment around here.

Business School

Today I got a letter from the David Eccles School of Business accepting me into the Accounting program! Woohoo for that! So, now I just have to go to a meet and greet so I can be coded into my major. That's a load off my back...
