please meet my friends..

Today I was thinking about what a lucky girl I am.

I have, without a doubt the bestest friends EVER.

I don't know how I got so lucky, but I am thankful.

Of course-there is my Toddy.

My love. My sweet.

Very best friend. My lovey-dovey. My sweetheart.

This boy puts a smile on my face no matter what. I haven't seen him for 103 days and I'm still head over heels in-love.

He makes me feel the happiest I've ever been. I still get butterflies just thinking of him.

I can't imagine life without him.

He is my happiness.

I LOVE TODD.

My Katie Lynn.

We just click, the 2 of us.

Its super handy to have your bestie live across the street.

I adore her. We know everything about each other. We understand each other.

She is too good for words.

We've already decided to grow old together.

We can just look at each other and know what the other is thinking--then bust out laughing.

I have ab muscles cause of her.

Kelsie Ann.

We haven't been friends for super long.. But we got close quick, and I love her for that.

After Todd left, I felt a bit lonely. Kels filled that lonesome part of me so fast.

She is the happiest girl I've met and a super good example to me.

I think I talk to her 24/7. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love.

Cassie {left} & Chelsea {right}

LOVE them. These two are the most positive, happy, sweet girls on this earth.

Chels is waiting for a missionary, too.. Cassie is about to.

We're lucky to have each other. These are the girls I turn to when I need a pick-me-up.

Cute Cameron! :)

I love this boy. I've known him for a really long time and we've just bonded perfectly.

He is my closest guy friend, no doubt about it.

He is a gentlemen.. His momma raised him right. He opens the doors for me, compliments me, pays for me {even when I tell him NOT to..} He is incredible.

I'd be sad without this wonderful boy in my life.

Sarah Kay {Miss Springville!:)}

I adore Sarah. She's been my life saver. She has helped me through sooo many things.

She is an incredible example. She is genuinely caring for everyone. Seriously, everyone.

She always has something nice to say, she is full of energy.

She's a beauty.

Amy {left} & Steph {right}

These girls are RAD. Both are waiting for missionaries, like me!

They tell it how it is, they comfort you when you're sad.

They are always there to crack a joke and make something hilarious.

Jenna Goose.

Life long friend, here. I've known her since..umm..forever.

She has always been my dear. I love her.

We've always lived very close to each other. We help each other out.

She is such a honey and a strong, strong girl, despite her trials.

Love her.

Rachelle!

This girl has kept me sane.

She helped me through my first break up. The one I thought I'd never live through! {baha}

She is tiny and sweet. I adore her.

She is goofy and such a joy to be around.

epic.

In case you were wondering..My last few days have been goooood.

Here is why:

3 days ago:

My mommy, sissy's and I went to Dear Lizzie. A cute boutique and bistro.

Girliest place ever. Love it.

And we're cute..

Then we went shopping. At Kohls..

I found the coolest shirt on earth.

Mom didn't let me buy it. :(

Peace, Love, & Puppies

I got me some shoes.

Cute shoes.

{And yes, my toes are freakishly long and I'm scarily white..}

Yesterday:

Then we went bowling. All of us. Mom, Dad, Savannah, Adi. Also.. My aunt and uncle and 2 cousins..

Side note: I got my all-time best score yesterday. 114. Bamm.

This photograph was before bowling..

{I had a crisis. VERY dry face. No close up picture, cause it was sad.}

Today:

Even better day. Why?

I GOT A LETTER FROM MY ELDER OAKEY!!!

It was almost a month, and I didn't get Dear Jane'd or anything! Am I lucky or what?! :)

Mail takes a while though.. The letter was written March 22, sent March 29.. I didn't get it til today.. April 9. Oye. But hey, no complaining. I'll take what I can get and freakin' LOVE it.

{notice my face? yeah..no longer dry. boo-yeah!}

Check out them creepy stamps. They're cyclops "manicures"... I think that means mechanic?

Later Today:

I have a job interview today. Yep, you thought it'd never happen but boy did I prove you wrong. I'm trying to get a job. Finally.

Where?: Deseret Book.

Why?: Because I need to be busier so time moves faster.

So there.

Here is me.. Preparing.

Todd & I after he gave me an awesome pep-talk.

No worries, now.

He calmed me down.. {Even though really, I wasn't nervous to begin with.}

Oh Toddy.. Such a reflecty boy.

Thanks, Todd. You helped.

Those were my epic days.

I am off to interview, now.

Wish me luck! :)

PLEASE wear your seat belts..

Today I had the unfortunate experience to witness a horrible car accident with a fatality. It was the most traumatic thing I've ever watched take place. I was driving to University Mall to pick up a few things for my Early Childhood Education class presentation and I was almost to the 4-way stop by Jared's when it happened. It was our lanes turn to drive, so a boy my age, in a little car drove out into the intersection as a large van came cruising out of a parking lot, completely smooshing the little car and throwing the driver out onto the road. Another SUV was hit, and spun, luckily both the passengers {a mother and little baby} were buckled in and no harm came upon them. The rest all happened in slow motion, I think.

The man who drove the van jumped out, holding his arm and ran to the boy on the road's side. Now, this poor boy on the road was clearly not doing well. At all. He was incredibly bloody and looked pretty lifeless. A few people in the cars around me jumped out and ran to help. I think one man was a doctor or something, because he took charge pretty quickly until the paramedics got there. I think I saw him check for breathing and shook his head.. I can't remember, its sort of a blur.

Next thing I know there were 3 fire trucks, 2 ambulances and several police cars. Obviously, they went straight to the boys aid. From what I could see of his poor, injured face, he looked as if he was my age or a little older. They did CPR for a while.. Next thing I know, they covered him in a sheet and loaded him into the ambulance. Then we were told to go about our days.. Kind of hard to have a normal day after witnessing that.

It was such a surreal moment. One I hope I never have to see, again. My heart goes out to that poor boy's family and friends. It is such a sad thing when things such as this happen.

It made me even more thankful for the Plan of Salvation, though. I didn't even know the victim, but I was emotional about it, but there was a comfort, there, too. Knowing families can be together forever is such a peaceful thing to be reminded of.

Savannah the Sweety

It is pretty impossible to have a bad day when your adorable little sister gives you this precious note.

Seriously, how sweet is she? I get notes like this on a weekly basis.

I love that Savannah Klaire.

a pretty night

Drive+Ice Cream+Kelsie+Chelsea-all your worries=BEST NIGHT EVER

as you can see..we decided 'normal' pictures are overrated

i don't know if i can explain this in words..but if you do that thing where you blow out but let your lips flap around like a horse, you can get some hysterical photographs

i promise at NO time during this night {or any night, for that matter} were we on drugs, even if we looked like we were

Here is our proof we're normal, cute lookin' girls..

I love you Kelsie Ann

two i'm proud of..

more to come..

i wonder..

Lately I've been thinking: I want to have a job.. I want to have a scrapbooking/card making business, sort thing..

Would any of you be interested in me doing some of your scrapbook pages, etc?

I will do a post soon of examples of the way I scrapbook & such so you could get a feel for how it'd look.. I'd just like to know if anyone would even be interested..

Thank you.

the price of beauty

If you are ever in a self-hating mood & also want smooth legs, boy do I have the gadget for you!

The epilator. AKA.. Evil. I'm serious. Painfully serious.

You plug it in, turn it on and run it up and down your legs as it yanks the hair out by the roots. It is freakin' painful, guys. BUT it works. Like..It works really well.

It tests how long you can stand excruciating pain. It also tests how long you can hold your breath, flex your muscles in terror and keep your tears in.

Sounds awesome, right?

Guys.. I am proud to say, I made it! BOTH my legs are smooth, smooth, smooth. My mom and I tried this baby out a while ago, last summer I think? Well.. We didn't make it far. It hurts.

But this year must be my year.

Boo-yah!!

Really though, smoooooth legs. And they stay this way a long time. Maybe you want to try it? But.. Maybe you shouldn't.

Mostly.. I just needed to brag and say I DID IT!

My Little Sarah..

Know what is pretty cool?

When one of your very best friends is crowned Miss Springville/Mapleton 2010

Yeah thats right, my Sarah Kay is now that girl.

I'm proud of her. She deserved it. She did amazing.

Her talent was piano--that girl can play. She nailed her interview and of course, she looked lovely in the the evening wear and swim suit.

Its pretty exciting!!

GO SARAH!

lucky ducky

I am thankful, very, very thankful for the amazing friends that I have.

Last night we had a sleepover. A St. Patricks day sleepover. It was great.

Chelsea and I, we're both waiting for missionaries.. There is a boy Kourt is quite close with who left yesterday & Miss Cassie's boyfriend shall be leaving on his mission soon.

I'm sure it isn't hard to guess what we did.. We talked about our men.

It couldn't have been more fun. We laughed, we cried, we slept, we danced, we sang, we had too much fun.

It is nice to know that I've got such great friends who help the time pass.

I love them.
