Chasing Chance

All I have to say is my good friend Ashley predicted this post, and will be happy to see it ;)

Anyway, I had a very fun-filled weekend in Orem! I came up to visit Ashley and to go to a birthday bash for the lead singer of Chasing Chance! He's so sweet, and I'm so glad I got to meet him in person! :) All of her friends are so lovely, even though I was the weird girl that nobody knew there, I became acquainted with a few people! It was so fun! I actually lived across the hall from Nick (guitarist) down at Snow College, so it was good to see him again! They made a music video and we all got to be apart of it! Hahahaha, but then it got rather hot inside and everyone moved outside. We brought out a cake that Ash made for Chance, and he blew out candles and made a wish, and then sweet Erin shoved the cake in his face.. it was quite epic! After which we were terribly hungry, so we ran to the store for cereal and chocolate milk, and beat the clock for fast Sunday! Hahahaha then I went to church with Ash and it was really neat! I've never sang so many hymns in my whole life, but it was very spiritual! Thanks for the invite Ash, I had a blast! I'll be back to visit, and maybe permanently stay.... (oops! I've said too much ;)...)

Noel's Wedding

One of my childhood best friends got married today. I can't believe I'm saying that. I've known Noel for what seems like.... FOREVER! She's been such a good friend and a wonderful example to me.. I'm so proud of her for all that she's been through and the kind of person that she is. She's kind, and loving, and crazy all at the same time. She's such a good friend to confide in and has helped me through a lot in my life. I'm so happy for her, and I can't imagine how much happier she is now that she's with her friend forever!! I look up to her so much! :) It was a sunny but windy day!! Her reception was in her backyard and it was set up just beautifully. It was also good to see everyone from the ward there too! :) Sometimes I don't like going to receptions and not knowing a single person there except the bride and/or groom. Hahahahaha :) Anyway, congrats bubbles!! Love you so much!!

Vern's Wedding

My cute friend Veronica got married today!! It was a beautiful day :) So sunny outside and she looked stunning!! Her reception was beautiful..... it looked straight out of pinterest. It was beautiful! I loved everything! She even had a cute video playing that her videographer made. She had him record their engagement session, and then of both of them telling the story of how they met from their perspectives... CUTEST thing EVER!! AND they had the wedding video playing.... ugh.... it was so darling I could cry. They looked so happy!!! And just so cute together... I'm so happy for her!! All the wejo peeps showed up, and we all just hungout... It was so good to see them!! I miss them all so much!! Anyway, I also couldn't help but think of Brady... which is a given, but I miss him so much and being at weddings does that to an MG. Hahahahahaha well, I have one more tomorrow! Until then...

My 61st Letter

Brady sent me this postcard.
He went there on Monday.

Are you jealous?

Because I know I am.

City Creek

Last Thursday I went to City Creek for my first time with my mom! We visited my dad and had some lunch! It was really neat to be able to look around and finally see what everyone loves so much! I just had to go to the Tiffany's store.... so I did.... and of course, we looked at engagement rings and a lady came by and we told her we were just looking, so she let us pick out a few to see outside the glass box..... and then she said, "You can try it on if you want!" And I just thought.... oh how awesome!! And might I add, I've never seen so much jewelry sparkle in my WHOLE life... Tiffany's out-does any jewelry store in the world!! Hahahahahaha so she gives me one to try on and says, "This one is $54,000 dollars!!" :O Oh my gosh!!!! I can't believe it!!! And then she pulled one out that was $75,000 dollars!!! It was CRAZY!

Anyway, so my mom and I went again today, and we took Evan with us! SO much fun! We had lunch again, and then went to the stores, and then enjoyed the fountains... well Evan did! He loves it!! He loves water. Sprinklers, bath time, fountains... you name it, it gets him giggling! So he had so much fun getting soaking wet, and then he started to shiver and cry cause he was cold, but we didn't have a change of clothes OR a towel!! So luckily, Macy's came to our rescue and had both!! Hahahahaha poor guy! We got some funny stuff on video too!! I just love this little guy so much!!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to wish a Happy Father's Day to these men in my life :)

Dad: I love you so very much. You are amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better father! I know Heavenly Father purposely sent you here to earth to lead, guide and protect me and for that I'm extremely grateful! You do so much for me and my family. You've always been my rock during surgeries, and that is something I will never forget. Thank you for always holding my hand! I love that we share similar interests, and that you go on walks with me :) Thanks dad, keep doing what you're doing. I love you always and forever!!

Jake: You are the best brother EVER. I'm so grateful for you and your constant love for me. You've never been negative towards me and have always encouraged me to be who I truly am every single day. I'm so blessed to have you in my life! I love that you live so close, and that you allow me to see my wonderful nephew :) He really is such a cutie, and a wonderful blessing in my life! You are such a good dad, and I love that you two have each other.

Mitch: You're prolly the best brother-in-law ever... and so far, the only one! Ha! ;) But I'm so grateful for you and all that you do for Linsey and my family as well. I'm glad I've known you pretty much my whole life, but you make my sister so happy and that makes me happy! I know when this little one of yours makes his big debut that you'll be ready to take on the challenge of being a father! You are such a good, loving and happy person, and I know Sawyer will be blessed tremendously because of your faith, willingness and desire to support, love and care for your family.

And of course, to my Father in Heaven. I'm so grateful for your ultimate sacrifice. That you sent me here to earth to learn, grow, love and serve others and build up Your Kingdom! This journey of life has been insanely crazy, but I'm glad I got the one I have, because I wouldn't want this journey any other way. There is so much that I'm thankful for.. that sometimes words cannot express! I love you more than anything else in my life and somedays I just wish I could see your face, but I know one day I will... and it will be familiar to me.. I live for that familiar face... so thank you.. ♥

"Elder Roberts and I will be going places on some P-days,
so I might have difficulty writing you sometimes."

Bless these short but long, and dreaded 5 months left.
