First Day of School

Oh ya know, gotta have that cute first day of school photo.

The picture on the right was my mom's idea.
"Now do something random, like running!"
Hahahaha, oh I love her.

My first day went well. I started off the semester right with Psychology! It's a class I've procrastinated taking, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I just have this erie feeling that I'm going to be writing papers all semester. YUCK! I had math tonight and that wasn't too bad, just keep your fingers crossed that I pass this time! I have history on Monday, so hopefully that'll go over well :) Work has been super stressful with lots of coverage hours so hopefully I won't be too burnt out. Wish me luck!

Nursery

Yup! This cute little guy is old enough to be in nursery now!! :(

And he just walked right in and sat down.

My heart broke a little.

I can't believe how big he's getting!!

He was fine through RS and then I went to check on him, and boy, he was not happy! Poor thing was crying so hard! So, we joined my mom in primary for singing time and everything turned out okay! Hahahaha guess he didn't like being in there as much as I didn't want him in there!!

Love you little guy.

So very, very much.

REAL SALT LAKE!

So I work for this company who threw their summer social at the RSL game today! So fun!! All their games, and food, etc. started at about 4:00 and I brought Abby with me! It was so fun! They gave us AFCU scarf's when we got their as our "gift" and it was just awesome! RSL Scarfs are SO expensive! AND they were having a discount at the Team Store for AFCU so I got a jersey replica for a really great price! :) I felt so official and I'm definitely going to more games in the future!!!!

It ended up being a really lame game, and the ref was just flat out ridiculous. We lost, which is a total bummer but I sure do love my REAL!!! :)

L to R: Justin, Matt, Morgan, Me and Abby.

I had SO much fun! Thanks for coming Abby! :) I'm so glad I got to see my friends/co-workers and some old co-workers as well! :) Such a fun night!!

My 66th Letter

"Your last birthday without me.."

"Happy Birthday Babe!"

"I'm almost done with the Old Testament now! It's been great, I've learned so much! I'll just have to study the Pearl of Great Price, and then I'll have read the whole entire quad as a missionary! I would like to finish the Book of Mormon once more as well, but I'm only in Mosiah! Hopefully I can do it!"

"My pen is going to run out of ink... i'll have to switch to my other pink one!" (oh Brady and his "pink" pens!)

"Can you believe we've been dating for more than two years now? It's so crazy! I can't wait to see you again Babe..."

Oh just so cute as always.

Tia's Wedding

My cute cousin Tia got married this morning :) She looked beautiful and happy! It was a beautiful day! Definitely hot but so pretty! I loved being down at Temple Square. I got to sit and wait for everyone to come out while watching other couples come out :) It was so fun. It's so fun to see the smile on their faces, knowing they're together forever. Ahh, just makes my heart smile :) Her reception was fun as well! Lots of family and friends and yummy brownies :) Ty even held Sawyer for the first time! My cousins Skye and Ty found out they're having a baby girl next January!! :) SO excited for them!!!! :)

After the reception I went to dinner with my beh friend and sister. Then Jess and I went and saw Step Up: Revolution. The first one will always be the best of the four! It was so fun! My best friend Jenna even called me!!:) I loved it!! So excited to see her Thursday! I had such a great birthday! :) Thanks to everyone who made it special! I'm so lucky to have the family & friends that I do!

My Last Birthday Package

So I've got a pretty amazing boyfriend.

My day started out perfect. Spent the morning at my favorite place on earth! But before heading downtown, my phone buzzed. I had an email sent from...... Brady Ziegler!! :O Right? So exciting. Remember this? Well, this little cutie patootie, sent me my last email RIGHT at 8:00 the same time I got his P-day email! :) Just a morning full of Brady - perfect way to start my day. He was so sweet, wished me a happy birthday, told me I was old and wrinkly, joked and then said he loves me to death and that he'll be home in a few months to marry me and that he just loves me :) Ah. I'm seriously spoiled. He's the greatest gift I've ever received.

I was waiting for the mail alllllllll day long. I usually don't but today, I knew I was getting a birthday package and the anticipation was killing me. We finally left for my cousin's reception and I called my sister to have her check the mailbox, and after a little joking around she told me I got a package. So being the sweet sister that she is, she brought it to me! :) I was soooo excited! I knew it was going to be a small gift, but I didn't care. I just wanted the letter that I knew was inside. He got me the most HILARIOUS birthday card EVER (see photos below). Hahahahaha I wonder what he was thinking when he bought it! Lol He ended up sending me chocolate! Yum! :) Left a cute message/letter in my card and sent two matching ties. For my brother-in-law Mitch and my cousin-in-law (?) Ty! Haha Brady just loves them. He's always telling me how excited he is to come home and hangout with them. So he sent them skinny ties from England and they wore them all night! Hahahahaha such family love :)

It was such a cute package. I adored it. I can't believe I have 3.5 months left. EEEEEK.

Brady's aunt & uncle also sent me a song and a sweet message. His family is so sweet, I'm so lucky to know them :) Anyway, it was a wonderful package/letter.

Ahhh. I can't stop smelling the card.

Mmmm :)

I just want to hug him already.

Almost there!

20 Years

Blowing out the candles, on another birthday cake.

Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes.

Young enough to look at the future, and like what I see.

My Best Days Are Ahead of Me.

Life hasn't always been a party, but mostly its been good.

There's only one or two things, that I'd change if I could.

I don't get lost in the past, or get stuck in some sad memory.

My Best days are ahead of me. 

Age ain't nothing but a number,

sometimes I have to wonder,

what does it really mean?

Hey, I'm still putting it together,

I keep getting better, if I keep getting better,

I can be whatever I wanna be!

My best days are ahead of me.

I've got sunsets to witness, dreams to dance with.

Beaches to walk on, and a lover to kiss.

There's a whole lot of world out there,

That I can't wait to see :)

My Best Days Are Ahead of Me.

Today has been great! My mom decorated the kitchen as usual and I had my birthday cereal. My sweet cousin Tia was sealed to her sweetheart this morning, so I was lucky enough to spend the morning with my moms side of the family and my FAVORITE place on earth, the Salt Lake Temple. It's my absolute favorite! There were a lot of weddings which means I got a lot of good ideas ;) Anyway, I'm so grateful for all the birthday wishes :) It means a lot! I can't believe I'm growing up!! Hahaha I'll never be a teenager again!! BUT I'm finally 20... all my friends from high school are 20. Hahahahaha anyway, school starts in a week and then Brady will be home soon :) YAY! :) Loving life.
