Life

10 years ago I was...
Moving into a new house
Playing with the next door neighbors and finding salamanders
Writing stories in my spare time
Getting excited about school starting! (I'm a nerd!)

5 years ago I was...
At youth conference in Kirtland, Ohio flirting with all the boys
Wishing I was 5 years older
At EFY with Em Meppen (flirting with all the boys) ;)
Coming home from GIRLS CAMP! That was my 4th year hike. So fun.

3 years ago I was...
Visiting friends and family all over the country
At BYU volleyball camp with a 6'4" woman coach!
Harvesting alfalfa at the farm
Water skiing at Bear Lake (or trying anyways...)

This year I...
Climbed Mt. Timpanogas (14 mile round trip, over 1 vertical mile!!!)
Had the best roommates ever!
Started dating Morgan :)
Visited family and had fun at home!

Yesterday I...
Went to my early morning history class
Ate a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
Drove a four-wheeler through the mountains
Skipped rocks on a lake in the mountains after canoeing to the far side

Tomorrow I will...
Go to church
Teach a lesson in Relief Society (ahhh!)
Call family :)
Finish homework.

Thanks for everyone who has made my life so great! :) Mary tagged me to do this...so I tag MOM! (That means you copy and paste this onto your blog and fill in your answers.)

Feeling under the weather?

This picture pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

Here are a few tips if you find yourself feeling "under-the-weather":

1. Drink tons and tons and tons of water.

2. Sleep. Lots of sleep.

3. Take a shower. Always makes you feel better.

4. Don't wear make-up. Let yourself go a little. ;)

5. Watch a good movie while you cuddle with a poofy blanket in bed.

6. Eat comfort foods (If you are feeling up to it). Soup is so cliche, but soooo good.

7. Watch a rerun of "I Love Lucy." I recommend the Vitameatavegimin episode.

Just Because

I really am the luckiest girl in the world. When Morgan stopped by my apartment after he got home from work today, he had in his hand a beautiful bouquet of a dozen white and red roses. When I asked him why he was giving me flowers, he said, "Just because." (Okay, that's the part when everyone goes 'awwwww') They were wrapped in pretty red paper with a bow...and there were even flower petals inside the cellophane. It was the nicest bouquet of flowers I've ever recieved...and not just because they were gorgeous. It was becasue he gave them to me for no reason. It's the little things in life that make you smile...and let me tell you! I'm smiling big today!

My Girls

Where would we be without friends? I'll tell you where. We'd be stuck in a meaningless pit of a life with no chance of random dance parties at 2am or quote boards with phrases such as, "You blazin' hussie!" There would be no Sunday roomie dinners, no gruesome hikes to ridiculously tall mountain summits (ex: Mt. Timp), no late night chats about boys, no chick-flick nights, no dressing up in crazy clothes and taking pictures that will later be used as blackmail, none of the above. Like I said; a meaningless pit of an existence.

I am grateful for my friends. They are the coolest, funniest, and most beautiful girls in the ENTIRE world. Don't even try and debate this fact with me because I will win. Ashley, Alyssa, and Katherine are thebomb.com, hands down. They will kick your butts in any sport, climb higher on any rock-face surface, and know exactly what to say when you need to hear something. I'm so glad they are there for me. I'd do anything for them. (Katherine...I'll have that body moved for you sometime this week. Oh, and the bag of money is in unmarked bags in the alley by the Malt Shoppe.)

So here's to good times! A shout out to my girls! Love you guys!

Note to self: Less Tequila

Roomie Dinners (Disclaimer: Morgan is not a roomie)

Candid shot of us looking happy :D

Beautiful World, Beautiful Day

Morgan and I hiked the Y last weekend and had an absolute blast! Unfortunately, we forgot how hard of a hike it is. You wouldn't think it would be that bad...it's just a little more than a mile! But it's so incredibly steep. Or maybe I'm just out of shape. Either way, I took my fair share of breaks! The trip was worth it though, because we saw the most amazing sunset and beautiful mountain scenery. I hope we can all pause for a few minutes today and enjoy the beauty around us. Seriously, this world is incredible.
