July 14 - July 20th
So you know those times when you think you are right and you are not? That happened today. First, we have to back up. Ron decided for his birthday, he wanted to go drive Nascars. Real nascars. To my astonishment, I found out that you need to know how to drive stick, and well, my last experience using a manual car was... not pleasant. Bryan tried to teach me before his mission, and I didn't even make it out of the church parking lot. SO. Needless to say, I may have had a slight freak out on the inside when I found out that they had already paid for me to go with them, and I did not have the heart to admit that I didn't know how. Instead, I told Bryan and made him promise to teach me. So we never seemed to get around to it, and finally had one lesson. I did finally make it to neighborhoods, main roads and finally Bangerter Highway. However, I stalled the car quite a bit. So, it gets to the week of, and I'm like thinkin "okay... I have until Thursday to go out and practice once or twice more'. So I show up to work, and Brandon takes one look at me and says, "Where are your shoes? You can't wear sandals in those race-cars" Yup. Heart attack moment. We were going two days earlier than I had realized..... So Ron made fun of me big time, and we had to stop by my house on the way to get my shoes. The whole time all I can think about is how I'm going to stall the car, look like an idiot, or crash. They give us the orientation/instructions and I thought I was going to puke, until they told me that these cars only had 2nd and 3rd gear. I would only have to shift once. Hallelujah. They put us in sweet suits, took our picture, stuffed us in, and let us go! We drove around a half mile track so we couldn't go too fast before we had to slow down for the corners, but dang! It was still way fun. They showed us our sweet pics when we got done, but they were expensive. Ron just picked up all four of them and paid!!! I was so happy. What a good boss I have :) So here race car model/driver Chelsea. 
Wednesday I got up and went to work as usual. After work I met up with a bunch of our friends at a park and we played baseball! I wasn't any good, but we all had fun together! We had quite a few of us show up, and a few other random people we didn't know. We played until it started to rain, and then we drove to Carl Prince's house. He had a bon fire out back, hot dogs and s'mores. We didn't stay too long because we only showed up to pick up a present that Mark has picked up for Bryan for Erikas birthday. That night was one of the first nights we actually talked about marriage. Good times. I admitted that I did not want to get married in December. I think he was kind of surprised. But anyway, when we got back to his house we watched the Espies till pretty late. I felt bad when we realized what time it was since we both had work early in the morning. But, it was a night well spent.
Friday, I worked in the morning and then left with Bryan, Colton, Jake and Same to Seven Peaks. Odd numbers are pretty awkward at things like this. We had lots of fun, but I told Bryan and colton to go have some fun together, and Jake had to leave early - so it was just me and Sam. Love the kid, but he's 15, so we didn't really have much to talk about ha. When we got back I had to rush home to shower and get ready as quick as I could because we were going to go on a double date with Tautkus and Brooke. I am amazed at how fast I got ready. Thankfully I was ready when they picked me up. We went to the Bee's game for The Sandlot Anniversary. We stood in line to meet the cast, watched the game and when the game ended - we got to watch the movie on the field! I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty sweet. Also, there was a grand slam during the game, so we could use our ticket at a Denny's for a free Grand Slam breakfast!
Saturday morning, Bryan realized he left Jakes pass at Seven Peaks, so the two of us drove down to pick up the card. On our way back, we stopped for our free breakfast at Dennys. During the afternoon I hung out with Heater. Later, I got ready for Kelsie's wedding reception and made Bryan go with ne. Poor boy is going to be so sick of wedding receptions. When we got done, we drove to Coltons house to watch the Dark Knight Rises. I think I'm good not watching that movie for awhile now. Well, thats all folks! Another wonderful summer week!
