i'm in love..

with being happy!
this week ended just as good as it had begun. There was an awesomely funny and highly awkward double blind date with Carni to see the Restoration on Wednesday. Thursday there was a dance party up on campus that i went to with carni and the boys and honestly had the funnest time time dancing in i don't know how long! i completely let loose i even threw out my neck at one point haha. Friday i came down to sandy to go to jake's cabin with everyone and though my neck hurt the entire time which was a bummer but it was a blast! Relaxing, movies, sting pong, lots and lots of food, uno, food challenges, belting music.. FUN!
i absolutely love my friends! being up in logan fits me so well but i love coming home and being with my girls. Sadly though all of this fun i did fail at the taking more pictures hope which is a real bummer but it was still a fun weekend regardless if it was caught on an SD card.
There have been lots of smiles this week and i am thinking they will only continue to come this year!

and another semester..

school has officially started again!
Monday was an interesting day.. starting off with waffles, ditzy moments, and a car ride to class with my roommates made the 8:30 first class completely worth while. My classes seem that they will be interesting and fairly easy. I came home and went to the gym which made me happy because i am actually accomplishing my goals for this year! I got to see amber again finally at the game and then had a little kid moment with kade making our own play dough. It was one of the funnest things, i miss being a little kid sometimes. After our play dough fun we had this amazing discussion about our religion. I realized things i never knew i believed in! So to say the least it was a pretty great day!
Today has gone well also, tuesdays and thursdays are officially my two hard classes days and for the first time i feel i will be doing a lot of homework this semester. Which is a bummer but weirdly i am excited to feel like a real college student. :) Later tonight i get to go to my institute class with michelle and start on all of that homework.. we will see how long this nerdy enthusiasm lasts!

This year has definitely started out right!

a long time coming..

i finally scrapbooked my graduation!
as a gift my dad had gotten me a large scrapbook, cute jordan papers, and a smaller photo album. With the creative desire i had last night i was going through my old art and stuff and stumbled upon all of my pictures and this album that hadn't been touched. So i filled the small photo album last night and this morning after making waffle wednesdays for my dad and sis i scrapbooked all the rest of my pictures.


It turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.
I think this new more creative me is going to work out very well!

happy day!

another day smiling!
today was simple but actually a lot of fun
i feel as though i got a bunch accomplished and had fun doing it all..
i truly and utterly love my family!

but on a different note..
today i realized the world is full of SO much creativity
i am highly jealous of how some people's minds create such great things
i would love to be considered one of those people..
one of those that someone looks at and considers what they make beautiful
and someone that has artistic talent
i do think i am talented but i dont show it
this thought bums me out.. MAJOR
so.. i have decided once i go back up to school this juli is no more
i need to be creative!
more pictures.. more fun outfits.. more art
that is my goal and i hope i can accomplish it!

yesterday's adventure..



this store makes my heart beat faster..
i love it. everything about it. if i could own everything in it i would be the happiest girl on earth!

sunday musings..

i love sundays for the simple fact of being able to sit back and think..
on my mind today has been:
#1
i had a great new years eve down in St. George with my friends barely making it, we all had fun on the dixie football field with the fireworks, hugging, and cartwheels. the trip also allowed me to get to know jess and sam a lot better and those girls are so very fun! i love making new friends!
#2
I am so excited for this upcoming year!! This break i have realized things are very very different, i don't fully fit in down here in Sandy but i know i have some amazing friends down here I am ready to be back up in logan and ready to put all of my new years resolutions into practice! I am unsure why this year feels so different but i am sure some very fun adventures are in my future.
#3
The past three sundays i have helped my mom in primary with the sunbeams class, sitting with them in primary and going to their classes these little kids are so very cute and they now recognize me! I am a little bummed to go back to my singles ward and miss out helping with them and watching them in primary but i do love my singles ward and i know i will get to help out whenever i come home. I can't wait to work with kids for a living!!
#4
This gospel is truly amazing
i am so very grateful for it today and i am excited for my new years resolution to get to know it better! i am going to actually go to institute this year and i am excited to go through the new gospel doctrines book for relief society.

It's such a good day!
i just love the little things!!
