Family Fun... It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

So for the past 10 days i have had to joyous pleasure of having my mom and Cameron in Utah! They came up for their spring break and it was tons of fun just being able to hang out with them.  We went shopping and ate more food than i thought was humanly possible! Have you ever wondered why on earth people eat a million times more food when a large number of people are present!?!? it makes no sense to me!!

one night i thought i would be good idea to eat 7 rice krispie treats and a half carton of ice cream.... now i am regretting that decision!!

I am so glad i got to see Cambo and my mom!!! I love them to pieces and cannot wait to go home for the summer to spend more time with them!!

 

I think this sums up most of the trip!

 

The Story of my mothers life! =D

"Spring" Break

Well for some odd reason Utah State decided to have the earliest spring break ever! Instead of normally being like the middle of march we had ours the first week of march! crazy!

I decided not to do anything too exciting because my mom and cameron were coming the week after for their break. I worked every day from 9-3 and then stayed up all night with blake and aubrei playing yahtzee and skip-bo!!! Doesnt sound to eventful but it actually was tons and tons of fun!! I would have liked for some of my friends to be here but it was nice to just hang with some of the fam! 

The only major downer of the break was on the first day!!! We got 2 feet of snoW!!! it was absolutely ridiculous and i did not enjoy it one bit!! I mean who likes to take 30 minutes to get out of a driveway!! Not I!! haha

I wish i could put pictures of it on here but my camera is dead! =( sad.  I left my charger at home over christmas so i havent been able to take pictures for 2 months.  but it shall soon be in my possession today!!! My mom is cambo will head to the good ole UT tonight! 

Im way excited for them to come!!! It will be interesting to see if they like our "warm" weather!! the past week it has been sooo nice!! and i never thought i would be one of those people to say that 45 degrees was warm!!! But boy howdy i tell ya it is!! 

Much Love!! 

Snow, Snow, Go Away

I have become quite used to this thing that folks call winter...until yesterday.

:Let me set the scene for you:

I am supposed to open for work.

-Arrive at 7:45

I set my alarm for 6:15 am on tuesday morning... only one thing... i forgot to turn it on... So i by chance wake up at 7:35.

10 Minutes and I do not work for getting ready!

I throw on a dress, brush my teeth and sprint out the door.  

I get to work (on time) looking like a bum and get everything up an running.  Well at about 8:59 EVERYTHINg goes off.  All the beds, lights, computers, and spa... just turn off.  My fabulous luck.  But never fear all was fixed by the pirate.  (well i wouldnt quite say fixed)

I am surprised i am still living at the current moment.  I mean after all, I was in the store.. by myself... in the dark... with a man who literally thinks he is a pirate.  He had an Indiana Jonesish hat, a red curly mustache that is twisted to the ends (like captain hook) a black and pink polka dot scarf that is so perfectly fluffed it is sick, a black leather vest, jeans, and pirate boots. OH WAIT.. i forgot the best part... His suede eye patch that has a gold skull and cross bones on it. Special huh?

Well i leave work and head to school.. in the blizzard.  It snowed all day long and i had to trounce through it on campus.  I think it snowed like a foot.  Then my friends asked me to go tubing so i thought what the heck! WRONG.... again.  The snow was up to our knees and the wind and snow wear so hard that you couldnt even open your eyes.  Needless to say, it was not as enjoyable as i thought it would be

I am not living by Murphy's Law.

Just a little update

To love is to risk not being loved in return.  To hope is to risk pain.  To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.   -Unknown

So I have been on a little bit of a quote fetish lately! I love this! and it is so dang true! <3

Well this week has just kinda been one of those that you wanna get through.  Been working a lot makin that dough! aha and going to school.  Trying to study lots and also throw in some ME time! (but that doesnt happen too often!) 

I learned how to knit which is very exciting! I am a crochet guru and love it but needed a little bit of a change! Lindsey and I are going to make some way to things out of a knitting magazine! HA!! So we shall see how that turns out! 

Much Love!

It's A Crazy Life We Live

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”  Tom Bodett

I love this quote!! It was on our nutrition test yesterday and i loved it!!  Well since i havent made a log post in ump-teen years i decided i it was probably time.  

Well christmas came to an end and i flew home to logan. Besides from the heinous woman at the Fort Smith airport it was an alright trip.  Although i didnt enjoy going from 80 degrees in dallas to 15 in utah!! It sucked!! I was home for a week and then received the devastating news of the passing away of my grandfather. He was very dear to my heart and the greatest man role model in my life.  I will never forget him and i know he will always be with me! 

After going home for a week, we returned to logan and started back into the swing of things! I got a real job....yes.. i know.  Strange! But i absolutely love it! It is a tanning salon and spa. We have tons of awesome spa products and it is so fun to work there!!! 

School is great and the cold is getting a little more bearable.. but not quite! <3

How quickly time passes!

The semester is coming to and end and it seems like it only started yesterday!  Finals are almost over and i will shortly be heading back to the Fort (Arkansas that is.)  And although i am excited to see my family and some old friends, i am terribly sad to leave my new home. I have grown so much while i have been in Utah and met so many amazing friends! I know 3 weeks will pass somewhat quickly but i dont know what i will do without them! 

Natalie will return to Arizona, Whitney and Ginger will stay here, and Melissa is going to Mexico.  And im not sure that i love the idea of Lis being gone for 6 months! AHH!   (They decided to take a little nap!)

At the beginning of this college journey, i was not the most thrilled about Utah.  Most of all because it would be stinkin cold, but also because i didnt want to leave my only home.  But this has been the most amazing experience and i would not change anything about it! I have learned so much about myself and others and that no matter what comes my way and how hard it is i can make it through! I like Utah a whole heck of a lot more than i thought i would! =D 

This past sunday  Whitney, Ian, Creighton, and I went to Salt Lake to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional and it was really good! We went to look at the lights at Temple Square and it was a little on the chilly side! but no as cold as logan! When we left SLC it was 44 degrees and when we rolled into logan it was 29!!

   

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break! 

Loves!
