It has been a long time since I have written on my blog. :) I want to share a quick story with you. It was Halloween night and we all went with the children to take them trick-or-treating. It was raining really hard and so half of us went inside and the other half kept going. After it stopped raining I took Megan, Kayla, Tyler, and Malia (Megan's friend) out again by myself. We were going from door to door and Malia kept saying she was thristy. Megan told her, "You can get a drink when we get home, we can't stop by or else daddy will not let us leave again. " This was so funny to me especially cause I thought it would have been true if we did go back to get a drink. So we got to the door of a neighbor we knew and Megan asked Sister Packer this, "Instead of candy can I get a drink of water for my friend she is really thirsty!" It was so cute when that happened and we had so much fun together. I enjoyed my time with nieces and nephews.

Summer Reflection :)

What a great Summer!!! The summer is coming to an end and this is a very sad story of my life. I have been having such a great time and now I must move on to my last year at BYU. School can be tough and rough but I will make it through :) I think this year will be the best yet!! I am taking some really good classes I can't wait for and I only have two more GE's!!! I have had a chance to spend time with my family this summer and I have met an awesome guy :) I went on a lot of adventures and spent a ton of time with friends and family! I worked a ton this summer and have saved up money to finish school and now all I have to do is finish! ha ha I must move all of my stuff to my apartment this week which does not sound fun at all at this point but I am sure I will love it when I get there especially since Aubs is going to be there :) My life is always changing whether I take the time to realize or not but the changes have been good for me! My life is so different from before but I am still the same persons! I still have one more week left of summer. What should I do? this is an excellent question! There are so many things that I want to do I can't do them all but I am going to make sure this week is worth while.
Random fact: today Megs painted my toe nails each foot a different color :) haha it is pretty funny, funny looking too.
One of the biggest things to me that happened this summer was the fact that I now have a car!!! WAHOO!! I have been loving every minute of it!! I can go where ever I want to when I want to :)

I love Megs, TY, and Kayla! We had a fun afternoon this only shows the climax! haha I don't remember I couldn't breathe or see anything :D haha it was wonderful! They all decided to dog pile me.

A Good Summer Weekend :D

:) This last weekend was very fun! I did a lot of stuff and still worked a lot! I watched Chronicles of Narnia with Ryan and Brenda which was an adventure in of itself. The movie was very good I enjoyed it which is funny cause I generally don't like movies of that genre but I am starting to enjoy them more! Especially when I have someone as awesome as Ryan to watch them with :D We also went tunnel singing on Sunday which I have only done one other time but it was way fun and I enjoyed it! I sure do love singing not to mention I got to see Clarke which hasn't happened for a long time. Ryan and I ran through the sprinklers afterwards and I chased him around it was a great amounts of fun!! This is only part of why my weekend was so great :D It was nice to have fun and relax.

Trip to Manti!

Yesterday I went on my first road trip in my new car. It was very fun. My friends Brenda and Ryan came along with me and made the trip worth it! We headed out and met up with some of my friends from BYU. We wanted to go on a hike but they did not so we ended up leaving them anyway. Ryan, Brenda, and I noticed there was a M on the mountain and so we wanted to climb to it. It took us a while to figure out how to get to the trail but then we finally found it and did a little bit of hiking around. This was a fun part of the trip. I didn't make it all the way to the M cause we didn't want to loose our seats for the pagaent (which btw were very good!) We had a wonderful picnic we put together before hand that had pico de gallo, crackers, and delicous sub sandwiches with the works of avacado, tomato, lettuce, cheese, pastrami, and ham!
The play itself was amazing. I have not seen it before and either did my friends and so we enjoyed the chance we had to see this wonderful production. We brought glow sticks, had funnel cake, lots of candy and snacks, played card games, and best of all had some awesome conversations together. Brenda and I didn't know Ryan very well he is new in our ward (I was new the same week too) but we were glad to spend time with him and be friends now! We had a long time to talk and have fun in the car after the pagaent was over. This trip was fun and I want to do something else like it this summer. My favorite part was I didn't feel sick or have a migraine, be tired, or onry the whole time! It was wonderful!!

My new CAR!!!

I have been waiting all my life for a car. I have rode the bus and begged people for rides and now my favorite thing is to give people rides cause I know what it is like.



Ailli and I had a blast washing my car. Anything that I do with Ailli is always fun. She is a great friend and I will love her forever and ever! Here are some fun pics that we took documenting my new car.





I I am very happy with my new car and feel very blessed to have it. If you ever need a ride somewhere let me know and I will give you one! I have reached a long time goal!

Right now I am sitting at the kitchen table where I have been sitting for six days straight basically expect while at work or taking a test...finals are killing me...they are so intense and I only have one more that I don't really care about but I need to so I can pass the class...I think I need some ice cream or something to make me happy. The only reason why I keep going is knowing I will be able to go swimming with Milly when I am done and go on a date on Thursday night! I won't have to worry about school for a whole summer and than I will be starting my last year of college!!
I must keep pushing through till the end...I can do hard things....

Adam's Mission Call

My brother is going on a Mission to Ukraine!! He leaves on May 5 and his farewell talk is April 18!! He will be speaking Russian!!

Family!!

My family got all together today for my aunt's birthday and it was just wonderful! We haven't all been together for a long time and won't be for years since my little bros are getting ready to leave for missions! Today was great!!

Spontaneous 4 Hr Bus Ride = Priceless

Today I got an exciting email saying I now have a new nephew!! I am so excited!! My mom and dad took the bus up to SLC to see Steve, Laurel, and baby Joshua. I really wanted to go but I had to work. I ended up getting myself off work a half hour early and decided I was still going to go to see Joshua! It took a long time to get back and forth but it was for sure worth it. I loved holding Joshua. He was only about 9 hours hold when I got there and it was wonderful. I felt so happy to hold such a precious baby! It was a great visit with some of my family members. It was time well spent! Congrats Steve and Laurel!!
