The greatest thing to happen to me!

I got Kenny G's Christmas Album!
I LOVE it!
I can't even describe to you how much I love Kenny G!
It is a new found obsession really.
I fell in love with the saxophone last year and listen to the jazz station on the radio quite frequently now days.
This album is just the icing on my holiday cake!
Yes I feel like I'm 60 years old listening to it, but its fine!
It doesn't affect the one way relationship of love Kenny and I have :)

Odd fear

So have you ever worn flip flops on a rainy day? What about in St. George?
If you have, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
I ALWAYS have flip flops on, and wet sidewalks/pavement and flips do NOT mix!
I have almost fallen who knows how many times.
I cant even begin to tell you how many times I have looked like an idiot in the Harmons parking lot when I almost fall and my eyes go the size of quarters.
So with that said.....
I have developed a serious fear of water on cement and pavement.
Kar and I run at night and there is ALWAYS water on the sidewalk in front of the South West building and I slow down every time without fail. I am in running shoes!! I know they have better traction and that I wont slip, but I cant help it.
Even on the bikes I slow down!
I never noticed how nervous I got till we started running and now I laugh every time!

and speaking of running, people say you will start to love it and crave it.....
I BEG TO DIFFER!!!
We have been running for almost three weeks now and I still dread going every night!
Will it ever get better? I sure hope so, because Kar has to force me every time!
I would rather speed walk ten miles that run 2, ridiculous I know but hey, what can ya do?!

Kar is gonna hate me for putting this up, but oh well!
This is us after running one night
we look so good! HAHA! Love you Kar!

I love you!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my dad!

There are quite a few days that I think about him and bring myself to tears thinking about all he does for me and how much I miss him being down at school.
Which is funny, because he has always been there to hold me while I do cry.
Even though I hate crying in front of people, I dunno how many times he found me sitting out by myself just sobbing because I was 100% sure my life was gonna end when Taylor left.
He was always right there telling me it would be ok and that time will go fast.
When Steph was in her accident, he held me quite a few times while I just cried.
This past summer on our last motorcycle ride, "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw came on and once again I was crying because I did not wanna move this year. I grew SO close to my parents over the summer and hated the thought of leaving them.
He is just so amazing!!
He has always had so much faith in me, he sees in me what I don't see in myself.
He supports me in everything I do!
He Can make me laugh all the time!
He calls me every Sunday to tell me he loves me!
He spoils me! Its true, and I love it!
He misses me just as much as I miss him!
I can never thank him enough for all he has done for me!
Dad I love you so much! I could never ask for a better dad!

Now mom I didn't for get you!
Me and my mom are like best friends!
I am sure if she would have known what she was getting into with me, she never would have had me! I am the biggest worrier you will ever meet! But being the amazing person she is, has never lost patience with me when I am calling her freaking out because I am not sure if the sun is gonna rise in the morning (exaggerating obviously, but sometimes I really was that ridiculous.) I would think of problems that could happen a year away, and she would listen to me have a melt down and just calm me down. But not without laughing first, which I will always respond by saying "it's not funny." and she just tells me "you're funny."
My mom has also always been there for me, cheering me on in everything I have ever done.
She always helps me convince my dad into doing things, I tell her she has to help me because he loves her more, which is true. So I am just smart by getting her on my side.
She will always go to lunch with me when I am home, and buy!
She will always tell me the truth!
She is just the best mom in the world for me! There is not another mother that could handle me! seriously!
Mom I love you! You are the best mom!

Then there is the three of us as a group :)
I will literally choose to hang out with my parents over friends, almost every time!
I dunno how many times I've been the third wheel!
Since I have been the only one home for awhile, it has kinda just been us three hangin out and livin life! and LOVING IT!
vacations, Motorcycle rides, sitting out on the deck just talking, and I can always seem to talk them into doing crazy things that they would not normally do.
Like I said this past summer I was SO close with my parents!
It was probably one of the best summers of my life!
I had a blast with them!
Luckily they love me enough to help me with gas so I can come see them often :)
Mom and dad I just want you to know that I love you!
You are the best parents in the world!
I love the relationship we have and the fun we have together!

** Remember how I said I get them to do crazy things they normally wouldn't do?
Well this picture is just one example, this is us in the stratosphere.
we went on the Big Shot!
Love you mom and dad!!
Sorry these pictures are not the most up to date!

5 random thoughts

So I have pretty much been the worst blogger to walk to face of the earth, so I will do a quick one with a few random thoughts I have bouncing around in this crazy head of mine

1) I LOVE work!! The ladies in my cubicle are great and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! I start calling all on my own tomorrow, which makes me a little nervous but it will be good!
2) Taylor only has around 7 months left and he will be home!! Someone PLEASE tell me where the time has gone!?! I can't believe how fast time has gone, but I am SUPER ready for him to be home!
3) This weather has got my heart just loving life!! I love fall and the attitude it brings! I love the smells, colorful leaves, and just everything about it.
4) Have you ever wondered how much of your life you spend confused? Because I am pretty sure I spend about 75% of mine wondering what in the thunder is going on?!
5) So I find it most funny to tease PJ about how much he reads and tell hime how lame he is for reading the hunger games. That however that was before I started reading them. K now keep in mind I am not a big reader, but I LOVE them!! It kills me to put them down! and I swear if they don't end good I will be SO mad and will most likely cry.

Not much of a post but it will do right?! Now I will throw in some pictures for good measure!

Kar and I going to church

Kar and I randomly went to egas, it was great and a much needed shopping spree!
However, we have to food and no money

Kar, myself, and Trumbull going muding. Later that night we pulled of the greatest prank EVER!

Lou and I in Ensanada with our bracelets, we loved them and bought way more than was absolutely necessary, but since they were like a dollar each it was definitely worth it!

I dunno how to turn this picture so you just turn your head!
But this is Kar and I at the Vegas temple doing baptisms.
it was a great experience as always!

Meet my friends and join us for dinner.

This past year has been the BEST year of my life!

I have made some friends that I will NEVER forget!
We have so many [memories]
and I honestly believe we will always be friends so there are MANY more to come!
First off, lets get a good look at my AMAZING friends.

We took these pictures yesterday at the old Opera house.
There were more people there but this is our little group.
So when the rest of them left we didn't think about the fact that some of us rode with them so we had Kar's tiny 5 person car, but 10 people left at the opera house. The math didn't add up for seats, so we did what any group of irresponsible college students would do. Two went in the trunk (Me being one of them) and piled the remaining 8 in the front of the car!
Tell me you don't just love these girls too! I want you all to meet them!

So these past few weeks we have started making Sunday dinner together.
It is so fun when all of us come together and try to cook.
mostly cuz we hardly ever have all the ingredients so we jsut use what we have.
(however Lou is sick this morning :/ )
Last night was pizza.
All we had was cheddar cheese, but it was still ok.
the chicken Alfredo didn't turn out the best, but we still ate it!
ShmEm and I
Taylor's Chinese companion wants Em to write him :) haha
All the cooks in the kitchen.
and yes it does get tricky with that many people trying to help.

I can't believe Yesterday was my last Sunday down here!
This year has gone by SO SO SO fast!
After dinner Nat and I took our bishop and his counselors some treats.
Here is their picture, I know I've put it up before but it won't burt to put it up again.
I seriously love these guys!
They are so fun and will just sit around and talk and laugh with us when we go visit.
I will miss them so much, but luckily I know where they live so I can go see them :)

Oh did I mention that
I MOVE TO HAWAII IN TWO WEEKS?!?!
I can't believe I am going.
I am getting so excited and trying to study for finals is no easy task when I know what is just around the corner.
Only two more finals to go though! Wish me luck!

what do I do with my life

hmmm lets see...So I didn't get into the Dental Hygiene program, which is not a huge surprise.
But not getting in leaves life totally up in the air right now!
I have not the slightest clue what I should do!
here are my options:
Numero uno-- Move home (uh...), learn to play the piano, work for my favorite dentist in the entire world which is Dr. Phillip Sutton! (he hates that I call him Phillip, I personally find it quite enjoyable), go to bridge and get my Dental Assisting certificate just to fill my time till I can apply for the Hygiene program next year, and go to the extension to get a better grade in good ol' english 2010. Have I ever mentioned That I HATE HATE HATE writing! with a passion! So that all sounds wonderful doesn't it? No rent, my parents can buy my groceries, and I wont have melt downs when I am homesick, But here are the draw backs of that little plan...I have met some of my favorite girls in the entire world down in in St. George! I can't Imagine not being with these crazies every weekend! They are the sweetest girls and I love them to death!
The next thing holding me back is my AMAZING ward! I love it! this is the only ward I have gone to that I actually stay for all of church and love it. Not to mention My bishop Brick is the best! (No offense to Bruce, who is also an amazing bishop) but seriously. Look at these men, do they not just look the worlds best!? Just trust me, they are!
Here is option number 2-- Stay here and take classes that most likely will do me no good in the future. I am thinking about running for Student activities chair, But am not set on that. That leaves me here with my lovely girls and and amazing ward, but I dunno how I feel about paying for classes that are not gonna do me any good. Is my life starting to seem as complicated to you as it is to me right now?

Finally I could go on a mission... A month ago I was totally gung-hoe for this. I would hear girls talk about going and was 100% set on going, but the more I think about it now I talk myself out of it. I dunno how I could handle not being with my mom and dad and a certain someone I plan on marrying will get home before I do. He would have plently of time to find someone much better than me so I gotta sucker him in as soon as he gets home ;) Ha!
So that is my life as of right now.. Totally up in the air! wish me luck! It will all work out right?

What happens when you throw a clock out the window?

Time Flies!

I cannot even believe that finals are practically here! This semester has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was stressed outta my mind about my first Anatomy test, now I'm stressed outta my mind about the final. Not only are finals in less than a week, I get to talk to Taylor so soon! I'm starting to get nervous! What am I going to say? He has already been gone 6 months! I hope the next 18 months go as fast as these first 6 have.
