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.
