Not my thing...

Apparently I suck at updating my blog... but really, what do I have to blog about? Husband? Kids? Nope. 

Random thoughts...

Today was a roll your window down and blast Taylor Swift kinda day. 

I miss this little boy. 

Cannot wait for this summer filled with random trips, sun bleached hair and tan skin... pure bliss <3

I really want to learn.

Cannot wait to see this guy on Saturday!!!

Hopefully seeing a few of my favorite people in a couple weeks. 

Thankful...

This week during one of my daily facebook creeps... I stumbled on a status that said "what if you woke up today and all you had left were the things you thanked God for yesterday." Such a good thing to keep in mind everyday. I know that I don't thank God enough for all the great things/people I have in my everyday life. We really do begin to take certain things for granted and just always expect them to be there, so be mindful everyday of all that you have and all that you have been given... especially around this holiday season. 


Things I am thankful for...
*Amazing family*Gospel*Atonement*Great Friends*Temples*Housing*A warm bed*Food*Clothes*My Puppy*Cell Phone (don't Judge)*Chocolate*Love*Happiness*Moab*strawberries* *Car*Computer*Fall,Summer,Winter,Spring*Baths... Seriously the list is endless... So before you go to bed make sure you are thankful for all the things you are blessed with everyday.

                    

                   Much Love <3 

Why buy a camera???

I recently became a member of the iPhone cult. I always knew that it was an "amazing" phone but I didn't realize how amazing it really was until I finally purchased one. I keep everything on it... from pictures to music to e-mail. Literally I have no use for my ipod or camera anymore... which is nice to know all you need is your handy phone and you're good to go for the night. 

No filter necessary

It's funny how much you can take a place for granted until you see this...

The other day Meags and I were doing a little girls date. We went out to eat at P.F. Changs then decided we wanted to head up by Sundance to drive the Alpine Loop. By the time we finished with dinner it was too dark so we saved it for the next day and brought Ben Halverson with us... It took over an hour to drive but was worth every minute. During the drive Ben said "alright guys I don't mean to get all spiritual but how awesome is Heavenly Father for creating this?!" Seriously it was awesome to hear him say that and really think about how amazing all of God's creations are. What a great day with great people! 

One big happy family...

Words cannot describe how much I miss my family when I am away at school... but it helps when you are blessed with amazing friends who eventually turn into your family. I feel so blessed right now that I would feel guilty not to write about how thankful I am for all of them and how great it is to have them in my life. I am seriously obsessed with all of them... and it is the best feeling to know when you come home from work or when you go out of town for a few days that as soon as you walk through that door you get the best greeting you could ask for. We also came up with a little tradition to have family dinners every sunday...(even the boys step up and cook). It's amazing... they are amazing and I love them all! 

Meags- Long lost sister and my best friend. Happy. Fun Loving. Amazing heart

Whitney-Gorgeous, Flawless, Spiritual and will be the best missionary come December 14th. 

Emily-Great style. Fun. Unique

Ben-Great friend. Great heart. 

Matt and Scott- Punks. Love "finance." Wouldn't be the same without our 2 for 1

Austin- Rockstar. Adorable. Entertaining.

Richard-Life of the party

Stephen-Nicest person I know

Jason- Eye candy. Caring. Fun

 

Family...

Throughout high school I would say I can't wait til i'm in college and no longer under my parents radar. Being the youngest in the family isn't easy... especially when you're the only one at home and your parents have nothing better to do than to keep very close tabs on you (I understand why they did this now). I spent most of my high school days trying to avoid my parents and wish everyday that I could take that back. A little over 2 years ago I made the big move to Utah for college and to well... Grow up. It wasn't long after moving out that I realized how much I missed waking up to a warm breakfast with loving parents there to ask me if I got my homework done or have my mom tell me my outfit was too immodest and to go upstairs and change.  Don't get me wrong... I LOVE the college life and can't get enough but this last week I have been thinking and reflecting on how much I really love and care for my family. I honestly have the best parents anyone could ask for. They spoil me TOO much with their love and money. I have the best siblings and love how different and unique they all are. I'm also lucky enough to have great IN LAWS. I think of them as my own family now and hope they all know I love and care for them greatly! I have also been blessed enough to be an aunt of 4 beautiful nieces and 2 studly nephews... with another one on the way. There is nothing I love more right now than being an aunt and getting to watch them all grow and learn every time I see them. I have such an amazing family and just really feel blessed and want them to all know how much I love them. I took family for granted when I had them so close, so words of advice... enjoy your family while you can!!

My mom is currently on her way to Utah to just come hang out with me for the week... well because she's awesome and is going to help me get my life organized and she knew i'd be getting homesick soon. (sucha mommas girl). 

Can't get enough...

As you all may already know I recently started working at a little store called cupcake chic. I love it so far-minus one thing... for advertising purposes they decided to open a little kiosk in the mall, so since I have nothing better to do for the next 5 hours I figured I should take some time to update my blog. 

Have you all seen Crazy, Stupid Love?? If not grab a date and get to the theaters...NOW. I'm simply obsessed. Steve Carell, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling... Great combination of funny, sexy, cute and quite the twist in the end. Remember Ryan Gosling as the cute, poor boy in the Notebook??... Well goodbye cute boy hello sexy, gorgeous man. He is reason enough to go to the movie. You can thank me later. If you don't have time to make it to the movies....(cause some of you have real lives with kids and stuff) well REDBOX it as soon as it's released but in the mean time enjoy my tribute to Mr. Gosling.
