im a good apple.

 I don't think this says it any better:

I sure hope some brave boy climbs up to the top real soon....

sucked in yet again.

So.... considering my LOVING for the Bachelor last season, I cant help but already be sucked into this season of the Bachelorette. Tonight was the premiere. All I can say is... it's gonna be a GOOD season.

Basically, I already adore William: (Um HELLO.....)

 I also really liked J.P.: (He is really chill)

And last... and maybe least (but maybe not)... Bentley.. (even though he looks like he is gonna be the source of drama... he is a little bit charming)

This season is going to be great!!! I can't wait to see the drama!

J Dawgs

So for the past few days, I have been craving a hot dog. So what do I do? I go to J Dawgs. SO yummy.

Mike and I at J Dawgs. It is fun to have friends from home up here at school. It is nice to see a familiar face every once in awhile.

intense.

My roommate and I ran what we like to call the "staircase of death." It got its name from walking up it... just once. She is training for a race, and we thought it would be a great idea to run this. The result? We were both tired and worn, but felt good afterwards. Definitely going to run this again... even if it is a little tough.

change.

 I always wanted to go to BYU. I had the grades. Its what I wanted.

However... its not where I ended up.

I was blessed with the opportunity to go to BYU-Idaho.

I know that is where I was suppose to be. 

There, I learned many great lessons. 

Sure I recieved an education, but it was more than that I gained in my time there.

I am grateful to have been able to go there while I did.

I would not trade any of my experiences for any thing.

 However.... I am at BYU now.

Words cannot describe how much I love it here.

I immediately felt at home once I got moved into my apartment.

I don't get homesick the way I use to. 

I love my classes.

I love the atmosphere.

I am happy. 

I am now where I once longed to be.

I am in the place that once devastated me when I thought I wouldn't be here.

But in life, we always experience change.

I like this change.

And now all I can say is that...

Its funny how things change.

 

 

i want.

A new camera.

A nice one to be exact.

Its not asking too much.... is it?

I forgot one little detail though.....

They kinda cost a lot.

 But lets be honest.

I am going to get one someday.

Hopefully that someday is soon.

I really think I could potentially take good pictures.

  

happy mothers day mom.

Today is Mothers Day. Although we should always show our appreciation and love for our mothers, I would like to brag and boast on this day about how wonderful my mother is. My mom is my best friend. We can laugh. We can joke. We can be silly. She still lets me call her mommy. She still lets me sit on her lap when I am sad. She still holds my hand in public. My mom is such an amazing example to me. Someday, I want to be a mom just like her. She is so patient and loving. She is truly empathetic and understanding of others. She will do anything to make others happy. She truly exemplifies a strong woman, and has the light of Christ in her. I am so grateful for my mom, and all she does for me. I appreciate her continuous support in all my endeavors (even though they sometimes change on a daily basis) She pushes me to do my very best in all that I do. She has taught me in every way to shape the woman I am today. So on this day, what I want to say to her is....Happy Mothers Day.... I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!

Another amazing person who deserves attention today is my other best friend... my seeeeeeester Anna. Growing up, she and I had our differences. I was the annoying little sister. I would throw her barbies down the stairs. I would clear her bed of her stuffed animals, and throw them everywhere. I even flushed one of her crayons down the toilet. We would fight. We would make each other cry. But as we grew and matured, we drew close to each other. My sister is truly one of my best friends. I remember the night she got married... and I woke up the next morning and I remember being so sad because she no longer was in the room next to mine... and she was not coming back. It devastated me. I am so grateful that my sister and I have become so close.

People always talk about "cute" mommmies. When people say this, I immediately think of my sister. She is such a cute mommy. More than that though, she is an AMAZING mommy to my nephew. She teaches him so much. She devotes her time to raising and spending quality time with him. She has so many qualities that resemble our mom. She is so willing to give anything up to please other people. She is empathetic, kind, and loving.

I LOVE YOU SEEEEEEESTER!
