Some thoughts

Things I hate:

Cold showers
Being Late
Getting seconds then realizing you're not even hungry but you eat it anyway because it's already on your plate

Things I love:

Ice Cream...seriously how can anything be that good??
Getting the mail and getting mail (there's a difference)
Social Experiments at Walmart ;)
New clothes, especially when they're on sale, thank you memorial weekend!

Oh and by the way.......I'm graduating this week....say whaaat??? I thought the new blog look was appropriate :)

Also, I found my bro takin a nap today and couldn't resist snapping some pics...haha




Hope your having a spectacular sunday!!

FIXED!!!

YAY!! I just got on the computer and was checking some of my blogs when I clicked on one to make a comment out of habit. For the 6 weeks or so it hasn't let me because blogger doesn't work on my computer, but by some miracle it worked!! So I quickly clicked to my blog and tried to log in and IT WORKED!!! so folks....I"M BACK!!

Well there is just so much to catch up on I think the best way would to just do a picture post! Enjoy!!

Remember that fort from spring break? Well here it is!

PROM!!!! :) :)





Spending a day in Provo with Amy! Just eating some J-dawgs...seriously sooo good!

STOMP!!! Like a dance, but better!

Senior Pics.





Seminary Graduation with the wardies!

Spring Festivities

Spring is a great time of the year. Everything seems new and fresh. It also goes by in a blink of an eye especially in Utah. Seriously it goes from blizzards and icicles to scorching heat and sunshine in a few short weeks and Spring just flies on by. Today was one of those rare, beautiful spring days. Sunny with a slight breeze and about 60 degrees, but of course that can't last and tomorrow its supposed to snow...surprise!

With spring come some super fun things like spring break and prom. Spring break was a little over 3 weeks ago and keeping with tradition I went to Las Vegas. It was so relaxing and just plain fun. I went down with my little brother and my cousins Travis and Denali. We spent the week with our grandparents and it was nice not having to share them with all the other cousins :) While we were down in LV it was my cousin who lives there, Claire's, 20th birthday. What did we decide to do for her? Well after a nice dinner we made this epic fort. I mean what 20 year old doesn't want a fort?? It was super comfy and quite large. We fit 5 people in it to watch movies and eat goodies. It was definitely a unique present!

Next up we have prom. The dance that everyone looks forward to all year, especially the seniors. My last high school dance ever. Girls started dress shopping and tanning weeks before. I'm definitely not that type of girl but to be honest, I really wanted to go. I mean this was my one and only senior prom. As prom approached I still hadn't been asked. And to make it even better my little sister was going with my ex-boyfriend (weird that I have one of those :P). But wishing and feeling sorry for yourself does no good. Would I really care about this in a year or even a month? Not really, so I just figured that I wasn't going to go and was okay with it. My self esteem did not ride enough on getting asked to have my cousin take me despite my aunt's offer. I would definitely rather just sit home with ice cream :) Then a week before prom I got asked!! Twice in one night! Really? That would happen to me...

Anyway, I decided to with Mitch. I've known him since we were four and he was my first real crush back in junior high. So I bought the perfect dress and even better shoes. Prom was fantastic and to top it all off Jessica was in my group! The day activity, dinner, the dance, and after activity were all perfect! It was an eventful night and I had so much fun. Jessica even got named Prom Queen!

Pictures to come!!! (as soon as I can get blogger working on my account!)

Oh and Jessica and I won tickets to Brad Paisley and David Archuleta this summer at Stadium of Fire!!

And also Braveman was tonight and was absolutely hilarious!! Seriously these boys had me laughing so hard my stomach hard. Best event ever!! Who wouldn't want to go watch the best guys in the school battle it for the title of Mr. Braveman?? It was awesome :) thanks Lisa for putting it all together!!

So I do have an explanation for my absence of recent blog posts, but I warn you its not very good. A while back my parent's e-mail account got hacked and sent our a bunch of spam. So in retaliation they added blocks to our computer, lots and lots of blocks. And some of those blocks won't let me log on to blogger. So that's my excuse. I guess I could have just used the laptop or another computer but that would take the extra effort I just don't have at the moment.

I guess you might be wondering how I'm posting right now with my block dilemma. Well, I'm actually an office aid at school right now with absolutely nothing to do. I thought it might be a good time to take advantage of a computer without a blogger block.

I have many exciting I need to share:
Spring Break
Prom
The Healthy Change
D.C Friends Last Hurrah
Easter

So as I leave (the bells about to ring) I will make two promises. 1)I promise to try and find a loop-hole or a way to log on; I did finally unlock YouTube! 2)I will blog from the laptop which has escaped the blocking, but it might not be so exciting since all my pictures are in the mac. sorry.

I hope everyone had an amazing Easter Sunday because I sure did!!

Spring Please!!

Well I guess lambs are white and fluffy, but not really what I had in mind

Today has just been the best day!
1)Its nice and sunny outside and actually looks like spring.
2)I got an amazing letter from Elder Young (Wade) today in the mail.
3)BYU sent me a nice little email today... :)Maybe now I wont have live off of Ramen in college
4)I've been listening to this all day and can't help but smile :)
5)I'm in kinda a Les Miserable phase at the moment and listening to the music gives me goosebumps everytime. Glee has an incredible version of I Dreamed a Dream. Amazing.
Hope your day has been as good as mine!!!

Catch-up

Third term, most stressful term this year, is finally over! I can resume my normal life again!! Here's what happened while I was MIA.

1) Amy and Garrett tied the knot. It has been 1 month and 3 days since they got married. Time flies!! It was beautiful day filled with lots of family, smiles and laughter. Amy looked beautiful and was absolutely glowing. Garrett didn't look that bad either :) I couldn't be happier for them although it's still weird to me sometimes to think that Amy is MARRIED!! AHH!! Here's some pictures taken by my uncle (we haven't got the official ones yet)

above: ninja turtle smiles :)





2) Our family went on a CRUISE!! Well when I say family, I mean my mom, dad, Katie, Emily, and I. Amy and Garrett can't take off any more time from work and Thomas chose to stay behind for a school play he had a lead it (crazy right??) Here's all 5 of us on the formal night.


We were gone 8 days on the cruise, plus 2 spent in Las Vegas with the grandparents, for a 10 day vacation. It was heaven! It was warm and sunny everyday. The sun starting setting as we were leaving the port of Los Angeles was picture perfect.


We got to stop in Cabo San Lucas for two days and Puerto Vallarta for one. In Cabo we went snorkeling, enjoyed the beach, went shopping, rode in a glass bottom boat, and ate at an authentic taco stand (only my dad and I were brave enough to actually eat the tacos).






Then in Puerto Vallarta we went hiking up to a waterfall, rode the crazy busses, and visited El Eden. El Eden is where the Predator was filmed. The site was then turned into a restaurant built right into the side of a water hole. There was natural rock water slides, a rope swing, and a zip line. It was super fun!






The days we spent on the cruise ship were filled with sun bathing, swimming, going to the amazing/ hilarious shows, trivia challenges, eating a lot, playing games, and just relaxing.






It was an amazing vacation and cruising is definitely the way to travel if you like to sit back and relaxing and let everyone take care of you. It was wonderful :) Here is one last picture of our ship, the Star. She was huge!

3) Wade, my cousin, left on his mission! He is the cousin closest to my age and one of my best friends. It was hard to say goodbye but I am so excited for him. He has so much ahead of him and he's going to be a great missionary. Hopefully the two years will go by quickly.


Its been a fun and very full past month :) Just the way I like it!

Dear Neglected Blog

I promise I haven't forgotten you...I just got a bit busy. I promise to be more attentive after this term ends. My brain might explode if I try to fit you in my schedule right now. I promise to tell you all about Amy and Garrett's wedding. And the amazing cruise :) I also might have to do a little of explaining on my 30 day challenge fail. Updates are coming on my family, school, and friends. I'll be back ASAP.

Love, Me :)

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day
