springtime :)

Okay so things have been crazy lately! I had spring break, end of semester, then moving apartments and starting to work 2 jobs. SOO finally now I have a few days off so I figured I'd hurry and just throw a few things up for a quick catch up and try to do some more later. :)
Dad was put into bishop again! We already did this once for 6 years when we were all younger, but apparently it's time for round 2 now! I know that he'll do a great job though and it makes me "excited" for him. Last time when he got put in my mom was pregnant with Taylor and now Ashlee is pregnant with her first baby.

The girls at Macoroni Grill. This has to be one of my favorite parts of going home! We go everytime and it's just a given that we go to Mac Grill. GREAT talks have gone on at these tables. :)

This was our last bonfire and dinner before Hillary and Andy moved and we switched up apartments and stuff for summer. Definetly fun and I am so happy I've met these people!

Elder Jon Hammond. Saying goodbye to him was one of the harder ones. I think he is SUCH a great guy and I definetly miss him! People in Florida are lucky though and he is going to do such a great job!

At his house the night before his farewell

Last FHE with our Ward. We had pudding olympics that turned out to be pretty interesting. It was really fun and I LOVE the ward I've had all year. I've learned a lot from people in there.

Crimson Night in Salt Lake at the U. First time in a long time that I got to hang out with Roni and Lindsay and it was SOO much fun! I love those girls and miss them so much!

Ron-me-Linds. This is the first time in a year that I've really gotten to hang out and talk to Lindsay. I LOVE her! She's gone through so much in her life, but she's extremly strong and always puts others before her selt. One of the best people I know!

Some quick updates...

WOW! SOOOO much has happened since I last wrote anything on here! I know it seems like there are a ton of pictures on here but I figured the easiest way to do a 1 month update was just to do some random pictures from some of the bigger things that have been going on and just do little descriptions underneath. ENJOY!





This is when Kaylee and Ericka died my hair red. I decied I was sick of being blonde. Just kidding it was a kool-aid washout. We did a "Dare Night" of D2 (us) versus E2 (neighbors.) It was soooo much fun! We had kissing strangers, licking floors, pole dancing the boulevard and many others that we will just leave to the imagination. Such a blast and tons of memories!

This would be me and Ericka about to take over the invitation to E2. We found these masks at All a Dollar and fell in love...they're still hanging on the wall of our room now.

This was my first time going shooting and WHAT an experience! My very first shot was hand pistol with a lot bigger of a kick than I imagined. Such a kick in fact that it almost took my own head off accidently. I quickly learned to hold on tight!

Me and Dave. We were FREEZING! I was so excited that right before we left, I finally hit not one, but TWO of the clays! :) Which is good because they threatened that if me and Ericka didn't hit at least 1 we would be walking back.

Me and Dave again. I had a hard time not leaning back so he basically held me. Danny was spotlighting in the back and Ericka was photographer.

This was my first time playing fugitive in a LONG time but it was such a blast! The girl next to me (Andrea) gets major props because even though she was having an asthma attack and literally hyperventilating and dieing, she kept on army crawling through the bushes and refused to let us stop for her. Her efforts were in vain though as this picture is in the back of the truck...only 3 houses away from our "destination."

Last time I went home, my friends text me saying they wanted to go tour the Draper Temple. I was going to go hang out with CJ but at last minute went with the girls instead. I am so glad that I did! It is so beautiful and was such an amazing experience to get to see everything and be with friends besides. The couple speaking in the sealing room had me and Jessica in tears. :) Me-Nicole-Gabrielle-Jessica just coming outside after.

Friday night after the last basketball game we did Girls Night at Ericka's parents house since they were gone. This was at our apartment before leaving. We danced and sang our lungs out to Disney songs before our Harmons/Maverick hang out and then off to Winchester. Also a very fun night all around!

Going hot tubbing at "The Rapist Inn." Car ride was fun, but it was the most awkward hot-tubbing experience I've ever had.

Andy has a mini cooper that me, Ericka and Hillary get to drive. SUUUCH a fun car! We drove around Bluff and Blvd. blasting our music and singing and making some new friends ;)

Back seat crew showing just how windy it was. It was a lot worse than this at one point and I was afraid my camera was really going to blow right out of my hand!

After playing sand volleyball. Me-Andy-Hillary-Adazia-Ericka

Preparing to jump. I love playing down at these courts and I'm so glad it's getting warm enough that we can start going again!

Top of the temple at Sunset. B-E-A-UTIFUL!

We had such a nice day last week that we got a group together and went to fly kites and have a picnic. This is us on our "huge" blanket eating our amazing (and freaking expensive) KFC! Notice the shorts and green grass :)

Dixie vs. BYU-Hawaii. This was before a dance and one of our last basketball games so it was a lot of fun. The best though was that Penny's dad and brother came down to watch so I got to see them for a little while. I love that family! They're always super nice, make me feel good and I can't wait for her to get home this summer!

This was my second time going to Rascal Flatts and I LOVE them! They always are so much fun to watch and sound just as amazing live as what they do on their CD's. Brittany won backstage passes and got to go meet them. We also all ended up with the same matching shirts.

Outside the trailors a couple of hours before the concert started. It was us and then Brittany's friend Brooke.

Elder Perry

Today is Wednesday which means that yet another missionary is heading off to the MTC. This week is Elder Tanner Perry called to serve in Peru. He entered the Provo MTC today where he'll be for 3 weeks before heading off to the MTC in Peru for 6 more weeks. Where to even begin? He's been my best friend for the last year and I don't know where I'd be without him. He's been a better friend to me than what I ever deserved. I have never once heard him swear and I can't remember ever seeing him mad. Frustrated but never mad. He has a brand new, super nice jeep that he would let me drive. He makes me laugh hysterically and is the most respectful guy I know. He treats me better than anybody else! It's going to be SO weird to have him gone, but I'm so proud of him and know that he'll do amazing and have a great time. GOOD LUCK ELDER PERRY!

In the hall after his farewell talk

We went miniature golfing on a date during the summer. While there, we broke part of the picket fence and 2 of these little things came off of it. We took them as a joke and said that we would both keep them. I have mine in St. George on my dresser by a picture of us and when I went to the dorms I saw that he had really kept his as well.

Clayton-Me-Tanner: They got they're call the same day and this was after they both had opened them.

Shout-outs!

I know I already posted for today but there's 3 people that are on my mind today so I want to give them quick "shout-outs".

Elder Clayton Conley: reporting to the MTC today to serve in Korea. Such an amazing guy and going to be a great missionary!

Ashlee and Jake: going to be adding a baby to their little family! She's due in August and all of us are already pumped and ready for "it" be here. So proud of them especially for just getting sealed the start of December.

Elder Michael Alisa: also reported to the MTC today to serve in Puerto Rico. Also a great guy! We aren't as close as what we used to be but I love this guy and he is going to do a great job. (Little worked in the picture but it was taken on the plane headed back from Washington D.C.)

Joining the craze...

I've heard a lot of people say how fun it is to blog and that it's really catching on. Sitting here procrastinating my homework, I decided I would set one up. Here's some of the pictures of recent things:

Hiking the crack of St. George. I honestly didn't think I would fit!

Anna-Sarah-Me just about to head in

Tialei, Le'o, Dom and me. We were going ice skating and were very surprised to find monsterous snowflakes waiting for us outside

Ericka and me with the "David Archeleta" of our ward. I had to do a triple take one week to make sure it wasn't really him.

Our holiday kick of martineli's. We managed about a bottle a day for a while.

This is the second week of spring semester down here in the Sunny South. I'm loving it down here! It took me a while but now I can call it home. I love my roommates and so glad we all get along. I share a room with Ericka and you could definetly say she's my favorite. We love to laugh and both have a huge sense of humor so we get along really well. We're also the cleaners of our apartment. I love that it's been fairly warm down here lately but that makes it even harder for me to want to go to class.
