Life Happens...

Just an update on me...i have really enjoyed being so close to home again! It makes things a whole lot easier when i don't have to drive 4 hours just to see them! 4 weeks ago my best friend got married so i officially have one single friend left, so i am making new friends...which is a lot harder for me than it used to be!!


my friend Kali, her husband, Shawn, and i on their wedding day.

I was also made an aunt again on the 17th of October! I still have yet to see him though.


My super cute nephew, Zachary.


Well that is just an update on my life as of late!

sister!!

it has been 5 months and 2 weeks since i last saw my sister! that is depressing!! anyways i miss you sister and i found this super cute poem just for you!! love you and can't wait to see you!!

GOD GAVE ME "YOU" SISTER
God brought us together as sisters
So we can share all our hopes and dreams
To share our laughter and our tears
Sometimes to get mad and even fight
To hold each other up when we are down
Together the bond we have will remain strong.
There were so many times I hated you
But now it is only you I can trust
I’ll be here for you no matter what
You’ll always be in my heart
Am glad that you are of my blood
Don’t know what I’d do without you in my life.
If you need a shoulder to cry on I’ll be here
I am here when you are sad and lonely
Or when you’re in pain
Glad I can help you when you’re feeling gray
I’m thankful to you that you’re my sister
I can honestly say I’m grateful to God for giving me a sister like YOU!

Always Changing!

awhile back i decided to change my hair color so i went blonde!

of course this was fun while i had it and it was nice to be back to my natural color but i tend to get sick of the same thing pretty quickly so i decided to change my hair again!
tada!!!


i think this suits me better!!

Crazy days!!

life has been very crazy for the past few months. i haven't had much time to breathe!

i have been doing a lot and have enjoyed every minute of it...well mostly every minute of it!
i guess i'll start in march...spring break was the second week of march and it was so much fun. i didn't go anywhere spectacular this time but i hung out with great friends and had an awesome time. first kel and i went to vegas just so we could say that we did something other than go home!
vegas was fun. i love going places with me kel because the two of us together is a disater and a definate great time! we went shopping at one of the factory outlets. while there we decided to go on the merry-go-round. i felt like i was six years old but so glad that i did it!



then we headed to the m&m factory and just messed around pretty much! took pictures and then hit up the fountains!






then we headed up north and spent the rest of the week at kels house and just hung out with our friends that lived in utah county!
all in all spring break was fabulous!

about three weeks ago i was in a car accident and i have been dealing with that ever since. very frustrating! i'm okay and my car is okay and the other people were okay too thankfully! but now i get to go to traffic school!!

then about a week and a half ago my mom and her friend tammy came down and took me and kel to vegas so that they could see gary allen! so kel and i just played around again while they were at the concert! oh and we got tattoos as well!!!

















even though my life has gotten to be crazy busy with school, work, and boys(of course) it's helping the time go by much faster! only three more months and i'll be out of st george and starting the next chapter in my life! i can't wait!!

Not sure what else to post!

playing catch up!

it's been awhile! i'm still alive don't worry!
this year has been fantastic already but to catch you up for christmas i put up a tree in my apartment to make it seem more christmasy. the first tree i put up was a little to small as you can see:


so then i decided to put up 6.5 ft tall tree. it looked a little better in my living room. it took forever for me to figure out how to put it up! so many pieces!




the tree looked good and so did the lights in the window! christmas was great. it was nice to go home and see my family and some friends. while i was home i was able to go with my sister, niece, and mom to see the lights at the hogle zoo. it was fun but very very cold!





for new years we had a few friends over to our apartment just to play games and mess around! it was fun! i'm glad i got to see "the weeping willow", it was fabulous!
while i was home i also made a big change to my person! i dyed my hair back to blonde. it didn't turn out as blonde as i was hoping. it had a funny and yet ugly shade of red to it but then i got it done again and now it is a very nice light strawberry blonde. one more time and i think i will be done!


last night a group of my friends and i decided to go to karaoke last night at the honolulu grill. it is so funny to watch people sing and dance and make fools of themselves! it makes me laugh! somehow my friends kelsey and jailyn talked me into singing wannabe by the spice girls! it was way fun but way embarrassing. i am so glad that i didn't get it on video!
another thing that was a first for me happened yesterday as well....i tried sushi! it was actually pretty good! i was very surprised. i think it is safe to say i might even be willing to try it again but that might be stretching it!
all in all the new year has been good to me. school has started which is keeping me very busy! but life is good and i'm sad my sister is moving in two weeks but i guess it's okay! love you sister!!
