rexburg...

the past two days have been AMAZING! i went up to rexburg for an overdue visit. it was so much fun visiting with old friends and reconnecting. finding out what is new in their lives and experiencing the changes with them. pretty much everyone and everything has changed but for the better and it was so cool to see how much we've all grown. unfortunately i wasnt able to see everyone i was planning on seeing but since this last visit was so much fun, i'll probably head up there again soon. i havent felt this happy in a very very long time. yay for friends!


oh and 22 days till i leave for the caribbean!!!

fickle heart

life throws you unexpected changes. change is good and often brings its own rewards for the hardship which it brings. i dont know if i would say ive "turned a new leaf" but i definately have changed. in my mind and heart. but the consequence of change is the unknowing. when you do the same thing and dont change, you know your result. and so far, change hasnt been much of a part of my life. i mean, i try and do new things, but i always resort back to the same unchanging world. ever since my birthday ive been reflecting. things on the inside are changing. the way i think, act, feel are changing. i am changing inside and out. ive started the baby steps. i know what i want in baby steps, but my ultimate goal is still unknown to me. i know the direction of who i want to be and where i want to go, but the girl who once was is slowly revolving into the woman i want to be. the past is gone and nothing will change that. i have few regrets and love the trials ive gone through for they were perfect and a gift. im not sure if everyone gets to this point in their life where they hit a crossroads of sorts and their life completely changes. ive made some very difficult decisions in the past couple of months. the things in my life that i just went with are no longer able to be in my life and the choices and the person i once was is no longer a part of who i am. the learning, growth and opportunities that have occured in my life have changed me forever. every individual has affected me in some way. and every sincere action has changed who i am and how i view the world. with the help of my savior and father in heaven my dreams are coming true, even though, at times, i am unaware of what those dreams, or my capability truly is. no matter who i was, i am changing for the better.

bridal shower...

hey everyone! so i need opinions on invitations for Hillary's bridal shower. i just made 2, i have a couple more lodged in my brain but I want to get your guys' opinion. i havent confirmed the date or anything i just wanted to get something made up so i dont have to worry about it after my cruise. (i know, im actually NOT procrastinating!!) any input would be great!

I really like this one because its a little more artsy... i changed the color on the background so you can read it a bit better it almost killed me to do it and save it, its a really pretty picture. Although, I dont know how it would look on a 4 x 6...

I also really like this one because of the simplicity. Also, I like white writing. I think it'd look cool on a 4 x 6 because of the angle I put it on.

...farewell to my teenage years...

well, today was my 20th birthday! i really should have been more excited for it and made it a bigger deal earlier. no one really knew it was my birthday other than my close family and friends and the hundreds of facebook buds. but i didnt really make a big deal about it at any jobs or at home. i dont know, ive been severely melo about the whole situation. so today started with my mom coming in and telling me happy birthday at 740 (or something, i was out cold) then when i got up my dad wished me a happy birthday. it was nice to sleep in. then i got a text from a friend from school and read a couple of wishes on facebook. my friend kristy treated me to olive garden for lunch which was super nice. our other friend stacey and two of her kids came with us which made it pretty entertaining. then i came home took a shower and went to work. daddy brought me balloons and donut holes, i almost cried totally made my day. ive received a lot of birthday wishes from my friends and a few from family. i cant decide whats got me slightly devastated about the festivities. i mean, i got a lot more than expected today. maybe its just the fact that its the start of another decade and what ive got to show for the past two. we're celebrating my birtday and partial mothers day this weekend. pat & jess, adam, and spencer & hilary are coming; it'll be nice for us all to get together.

iy yi yi!

so i've been pretty busy the last week with work. but that doesnt stop the world from turning. on sunday morning around 12:30 i received a text but i was already passed out on my bed so i ignored it till the morning. one of my most favorite people got engaged!! so i was planning on flying there for the wedding (and hoping it was after the cruise so i could actually afford it!) so after playing phone tag all sunday, that night we were finally able to talk. she updated me on every detail of the relationship and all the good details. then when she found out i was planning on coming to the wedding (which will be in seattle) she asked me to be a bridesmaid, which of course i agreed too. which works out perfectly because my cousin rochelle and her husband and bryce and his wife will or are living there so now i dont have to worry about hotel expenses!! the wedding is planned for august which is perfect for washington weather. im thinking about going early or staying later so i can hit the sites and maybe schedule a trip to oregon! but everything is in the works still.
spencer is now officially engaged. as far as i know (which isnt much cause he neglects to call me back) the date isnt solid yet. hillary really is great and will be an awesome addition to our family. shes from rigby and is attending BYUI.
its my birthday in less than a week, and as a present to myself im cutting and dying my hair today! its pretty much going to be amazing and i cant wait. ill try to get pics up tonight.
so as of now i have an extremely busy couple of months starting at the end of june. hopefully everything works out.

love you guys!
