Bitter-Sweet!

Today Michael left for home (Northern California) for about two and a half weeks, it was a bitter-sweet day. I am SO excited for him to be able to be with his parents and not have to worry about school, but I already miss him like CRAZY!!!
I am very excited to be going to Susanville and getting to meet his family. I think getting to meet/know someones family can tell you a lot about a person, just being able to see where he grew up and how he treats and interacts with his family!
Only 12 more days.. I can hardly wait :)

XOXO

LOVE

LOVE is a strong word, but a word with lots of meaning. It's an emotion that we lose ourselves in, something we all wish for one day.. my Mom found this quote on pinterest and sent it to me.. I thought it was perfect! :)

Something that is and WILL always be on my list is being married in the Temple! I want someone who has served a mission, and who loves the lord and will always put the Lord first in all things!

And I am enjoying being on this journey to LOVE!!

XOXO

VERY much in LIKE..

Well everyone.. this is Michael, we have been dating for about a month now, and things are going great! Michael's sister and her husband, Melissa & Rodney Jay were in our family ward back in California. Melissa had been trying to get me to go up to her house in Salt lake to cut her hair and she suggested that her brother and I drive up there together. Michael texted me a week before and suggested that we go out sometime during the week so that drive up to his sisters wouldn't be awkward.. we hit it off and things were going good.. I went to Texas 2 weeks later for thanksgiving, and decided to see how I felt when I was gone.. long story short I missed him like CRAZY and couldn't wait to get back to Utah to see him!

Here are some pictures, we went up to see the lights at temple square and then yesterday we got tickets to go to the first presidency's Christmas devotional!!

19. A picture and a letter.

I am a sucker for fairy tails and happy endings! I have always LOVED Disney, but lately I have been in such a Disney mood. Can I just say I love my job and the people I work with, in the stand we are always singing and having a good time, and lately when I start singing I've been singing Disney songs, lots of people join in, and some don't want us to sing cause it's to catchy and will get stuck in there head.. but I do it anyways. (haha) I think if your going to have a song stuck in your head shouldn't it be something good like Disney?

Day 18: A picture of your biggest insecurity

I am very comfortable in my own skin.. I defiantly have things that bother me, but who doesn't? one thing that does bug me a little is my teeth, I never had braces but always wanted them! my teeth aren't that bad, it's just something that I notice and would like to fix.. maybe one day i'll actually fix them! haha

ps. going to the BYU game tonight and going to freeze my bum off! it might even snow :( I totally forgot how cold it gets here in the winter!!

Day 17: A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life.

The Gospel is such a huge part of my life! I truly gained my testimony when I was going to EFY, EFY is/was one of the greatest blessings in my life! I still listen to all the EFY cd's when I am getting ready for church on Sunday's. It was such a fun/spiritual time, to be surrounded with SO many other members my age with the same beliefs and standards! EFY is what made me want nothing less than a TEMPLE marriage and I am still working hard to reach that goal, and I will NEVER settle for anything less!!

Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you

My Sisters are some of the most amazing people I know, I call them all the time! It makes me sad that we all live SO far from each other, but it makes seeing each other that much better and more exciting!
Letti: Letti is such a good mom, she is SO organized, she would drop anything to help someone, loves sports, and very involved in the community.
Lynda: Lynda is a great mom, very creative, such a good cook and baker, she is not afraid to try new things (crafts/recipes), book worm, great with advise.
These two inspire me SO much, I want to be a good mom like them, crafty and creative like Lynda, and organized and giving like Letti!!
Love you both SO SO much thanks for being the GREATEST sisters ever!

Day 15: A picture of something you want to do before you die

Something I would LOVE to do before I die is learn how to play the piano! There is a piano at my parents house, and I LOVE to just sit and try to read the music and play! Maybe someday I will take piano lessons get really good! haha

Day 14. A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

Emily is Someone I could never imagine my life without! We met in cosmetology school and we instantly became friends, we are SO similar and when we are together there is never a dull moment! Emily is someone I really look up to, she got married a little over a year ago to the most amazing man.. Carl is so great to her and I hope one day I will be able to find a man like him. Emily is the type of friend that no matter where in the world we are we will always be close and talk often!!
Thanks for being my BEST FRIEND!
Love you Em!!

Em is also an amazing writer check out her blog carlandemily.blogspot.com

Day 13: A picture of your favorite band(s) or artist(s)

I don't know that I have a favorite band or artist, but I LOVE country music! I love that all of the songs are stories and I feel like I can relate to a lot of them, I also love the fact that you can actually understand what their singing! haha

Day 12: A picture of something you love

I LOVE the anticipation of big events! Whether it is for birthdays, Christmas, thanksgiving..etc. but right now there is something I am anticipating more than anything.. it definitly is a BIG deal thing!
Remember when you were little and you used to make the count down rings.. well I still do that for events that I can hardly WAIT for!!

Day 11: A picture of something you hate

I absolutely HATE fighting, it literally makes me sick! There has been times when my Mom had to come pick me up from school because of a fight on campus and how sick them make me feel!
Any sort of contention is not something I like, and will NOT allow it in my future home!!

Day 10: A picture of the person you do the craziest things with

This picture is one that always makes me laugh! My Mom and Letti had come up to visit me and I decided to stay the night with them in there hotel. MoM and I love to stay up late talking about everything, and Cole decided to join.. he just propped himself up and made himself comfortable needless to say.. Mom and I were laughing pretty hard! haha

Day 7: A picture of your most treasured item

Most of my family would probably have to agree that I could NOT live without my phone!! My phone is always right next to me, or I at least know where it is. haha. I don't know what I would do without my phone.. probably die!! But I LOVE being able to talk to my family and friends, and I woudn't be able to do that without my phone! :)

Day 6: A picture of one of your favorite memories

One of my all time favorite memories is the day I was able to be sealed to my parents in the TEMPLE!! It is SO nice knowing that no matter what happens I will be able to be with my family forever!! Love you all!

Senior Prom was one of my favorite nights, and a night that I will always remember! Josh was my high school boyfriend and best friend, we always had SO much fun together and my nieces and nephews LOVED him! I hope that one day I will find another guy that has many of the same quality's as Josh!!

I would LOVE to trade places with Taylor Swift for a day, I would love to be able to write music like her! Her music is always about real life situations.. I have been able to relate to SO many of her songs, and I always want to be the kind of person that people can look up to and relate to.
