we spent time in rexburg and idaho falls

going to the zoo. playing in water parks. riding the carousel.

and eating REALLY good food

we then went on to west yellowstone

we stayed there overnight and went to the wolf and grizzly parks

we also spent a lot of time just driving through yellowstone

lots of hotpots, waterfalls, geysers, and wildlife

we then headed onto jackson

we spent a lot of time relaxing and walking around to all the little shops.

went to a chuckwagon dinner and went swimmin

all in all we had a ton of fun together

i love my family more than anything on this earth

im pretty lucky to have them in my life

just a thought….

Love you

 

                        The ending of another chapter, how it went by sooo fast, :(  I will miss the memories

I can't imagine how life will be with out the friends i've just come so close to knowing. They each are so amazing. We cried, we laughed, and we held on. We were meant to be together even if it was for that small moment of time. 

I am sad as i say goodbye, to the following individuals who influenced my life in such a great way. 

Sarah Cunningham, my room roommate, she always made me smile. She had a heart that yearned for kindness, she brought out the cheesy childish side of me, :) She really made me feel like her sister, and we still have a bucket list to accomplish. 

Jaelyn Scott, a very amazing individual, she is a star in that she isn't afraid to be who she wants to be. She is brave and she is dedicated. Jaelyn is so sweet, she too makes you feel good about yourself. 

Heather Viland, haha, the cutest and most rad girl i know. She is Heather, she is the girl who likes watching documentaries for fun and colored bubbles. Heather has an open spirit constantly soaring to new heights. She may be the smallest girl, but her love and desire for the unique things in life make her influence one of the greatest. 

Kaprena Worth, One of the most spontaneous, beautifully talented individuals i have ever met. Her heart is sincere, and her smile real. She knows how to take a broken heart and give it wings to fly. She is one tough cookie, and though she is one of the most beautiful girls you'll ever see, she could whip your butt any day. Her gentleness is balanced with her spirit. 

Kylie Erickson...I am sad to leave you. How you have been such a good and true friend to me. You are so amazing, you are beautiful and so loving. I see you with your family and it's just beautiful. You made me feel good about myself, and through your nuttiness and spur of the moment ideas, i was able to have some of the most memorable experiences that mean the world to me. I really and truly will miss your presence when i go home. You have something about you that just makes me feel at home. You are real. I love you so much Kylie, thank you for being the best friend i could ever hope for. You are so amazing and so strong, i can't wait to see the works you will do in the future. Know you always have a friend in me. My heart just loves you so much. 

As for the boys, Brandon and Michael. You two were such nuts. A thought of you will always make me grin. I am so grateful even through me being a jerk, you guys were still my friends. You guys are one of a kind. 

I'll miss Phil, and Jacobs playing. Those nights were some of my most favorites, especially when you played with Kaprena, truly abstract art. :) 

And of course a shout out to a friend who has always been there for me, Jared. One of the best friends and guy in general. He really knows how to make everyone feel included and good about themselves. Thanks for all those times you helped me see the light. 

I love you all so much. I hate this part of every chapter. I hate finding a family, growing deeps roots with them, and then having to yank them out. It hurts, and i will miss you all so much. But i will always remember you. 

Thank you, and i love you. 

I don't want to say goodbye. 

:(

BEAUTIFUL GIRL

This is going to be kind of the like graduation speach people give at the graduation parties.. Well i can't make it to your graduation in two days so this is what i CAN do!

There are No words to describe exactly how i feel about my Kylie, so i'll just start from the beggining.

This is us last semester... Remember??

 This was honestly the Day that I think me and kylie were officially friends

(and it was almost the end of the semester)

but just for the record, i always thought Kylie was hilarious and fun.

When she wanted to be my roomie this semester too i was so happy. 

So, Kylie is good at aLOT of things, but one of the things she is BEST at is being a Good Friend.

No, i dont just mean your average good friend you meet in a foundations class.

I mean a loyal, caring, sensative, "can't-hide-it-from-me", "no-way-i'm-letting-you-cry-alone",

"I'm-just-telling-you-honestly-cause-i-love-you", kind of frined.

And i would like to tell EVERYONE, that Kylie Erickson, NEVER let me cry alone. 

When I was breaking off my engagement (hardest time of my life)

She captured me and took me home to her family.  They loved me and

laughed with me and took care of me.  Kylie took me for a "Mommy Thereap Session"

and her house cause my Mommy couldn't be there.  She made sure i had everything i needed.

If i needed to cry and i couldn't hold it in, she didn't try to say anything to make it

better, cause there was nothing that could be said. 

She was just there.  Thats what friends are for.

Thank you Kylie Erickson for loving me and telling me so.

Thanks for all the crazy times.

Dancing in line at the coacoa bean

Playing our bathroom games in the i-center

Stalking English men with hot accents

Doodling in the MC

Writing blogs togethers about why you are a wonderfully awkward person

OUR BOOT!!

hollering at the man on the side of the road (who then drove behind us for 30 minutes..)

And so many more adventures!!

(HAHAHAHAHAHA)

My fondest memories are our long chats in our room,

or walking the our room in the morning to my mermaid roommate hahaha

or randomly getting spanked harder then a skinny girl like you should be able to spank!

or our rides in the car (even when that stupid jerk broke your heart and i thought we were

going to die becuase of how you were driving!!)

Sorry for setting you up with douche bags on accident and for 

putting other things first that you saw were bad for me 

the whole time.  

BUT YOU ALWAYS GAVE ME TIME

when i came around and needed you.

Sorry for my *friends* that none of you guys actually liked

And thanks for helping me see that i was almost making a decision

i would probably regret.  YOU were my voice of reason when 

my hear just wanted to say "yes, it can work"

In the song I wrote you, when i said "can you see how you rescued me", its more true then i realized it would be.  Thank you.  You've ment everything to me.  I miss you.  I miss your funny jokes. about your bug-bites and yours and my sleep-talking.  Walking in the kitchen and seeing you jumping up and down on our couch like a 3 year old.  Or walking in our room and seeing you munching on one of two things or both: Chocolate pudding, or the cracker sticks with cheese. 

hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

i will never forget you! i wish we could just be life-roomies cause i'm really missing seeing you in the morning and knowing i have some one who cares about me one bed away from me at night.

YOU ARE BRIGHT

FUN

CARING

HONEST

BBBEEAAUUTTIIFFUULL

AND 

ONE OF A KIND.

you've been a huge part of my life for the last year and i will never forget you.  

We won't lose touch and i can't wait to recieve and invitation to your wedding when your

prince comes home to sweep you off your feet.  Hard to believe he could

deserve you, but someone's got to get you! He must be wonderful.

I love you so much ky

YOU ARE AMAZING

"LOVE ME!!!!"

-you know i do-

...................always...................

everyone is studying for finals.

4th of July Weekend.

seriously such a good weekend

i love being able to spend time with my family

they make me extremely happy.



one thing i should note

if you have a metal foot... as do i

then it's really not a good idea to travel on a holiday

my metal foot + wanting to get home = one very big ticket

:-/

but it was a very good weekend and i am happy i got to go home

in other news....

i got me a job for when school is over!

i will be working as an overnight front end manager at the new Walmart in Heber

not really the job that i would like....

to be honest i really dont like walmart

but it will be a good job until eric gets home

and it will hopefully keep me really busy and get me some money

:)

Last Weekend

(Saturday)

me, tawni, heather and brandon

headed down to good ol' wyo to raft the green river

we ended going down the river 2 times

we had a blast.

the rapids were awesome.

however getting pushed in the freezing cold river not so much...

we then went to red canyon lodge and had a really good dinner.

and we were able to see big horn sheep

which i was really happy about, cuz heather really wanted to see some

(Sunday)

we ended up going four wheeling

over at the old race track

we ended up having lots of fun

then we headed home after a veryyy long exhausting weekend

but it was extremely worth it.

in the mean time i have had a really good last couple of days

we broke into a guys car....

which sounds bad, but it was for a good cause :P

even though my arm is really bruised now....

played an awesome prank

and had a really good time being with tawni

i also had lunch with my really good friend jaime.

life is good

and im happy

in other news i graduate in 9 DAYS!!!!

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!

just a thought...

wear sunscreen when floating a river

and make sure you get it everywhere

else you will have a funny looking sunburn

like all of us do:)

lol

the horrors and crimes of rexburg

so as promised

i have the police log from the scroll

and even better i have TWO of them

because i have been so slow to get them up.

anyways i thought that it has been a pretty funny past 2 weeks

i hope you enjoy them as much as i did.

drum roll please.....

injury to a vehicle.

complaint of vehicle door being dinged by another vehicle door

noise complaints

3 buildings found with unlocked doors

3 false alarms

complaint of stolen vehicle

found vehicle where subject had parked it.

suspicious individuals. valley wide.

4 citations for shooting paint balls at vehicles

complaint of subjects throwing water balloons

complaint of unknown person who entered a girl's apartment

and left shaved hair in the bath tub/shower.

oh rexburg

how i love your innocence and low crime rate

you make me smile every time i read the funny complaints in the police log

i hope you enjoyed them this week

i know i did

just a thought....

maybe locking your doors are in order if you find someones shaved hair

in your apartment bathroom....

wellllll hi....

sooooo

it's been awhile... well technically not really

but i really feel that i haven't wrote FOREVER!!!!

so here is the thing imma gonna get ya all caught up...

on friday of last week we (me, heather, jaelyn, tawni and brandon)

went up to island park and stayed the night at brandon's grandparents cabin

ok holy crap let me just tell you about this...

this cabin is so stinking nice!

like practically just a second home with an outdoors theme so nice

on saturday we went up to yellowstone

we went and saw the hot pots and old faithful and fun things like that

we drove around and saw some wildlife and just enjoyed ourselves

on sunday we went up strictly just to find us a bear.

the short story we never saw one but we were so close a few times

can i just rant for a little bit???

park rangers= idiots.

the think every tourists are incapable of common sense,

they have terrible humor,

and i swear they have power trip problems.

another little rant???

just because we are a car full of teenagers

doesn't mean that we are going to get out of our car

go hiking and try to find the bear and her cubs that were just spotted then frightened away.

we aren't that desperate to find a bear.....

we do like being alive.... i dont think being mauled by a bear was on our agenda for the trip.

anyways....

all in all is was such a great trip.

ps shout out to heather viland for practically making our dinner

it was seriously so yummy!!!!

to conclue the yellowstone trip

we saw about 7ish elk

a few deer

a beaver

a wolf

a BUTT LOAD of buffalo

(i will forever hate buffalo now.... they really aren't that cool)

and about a million asians.

oh and a funny stump by a river that looked exactly like a moose...

yeah it was pretty sad when we realized it wasn't lol

then......

the week went on pretty lamish

nothing really new.

but i did something i thought was pretty cool

i cut my roomies hair.

and i realize that i didnt do anything really cool or fancy but i was proud of myself

i think it looks SO cute on her!

BEFORE

AFTER

i personally think she looks HAWT!

i love her with short hair.

ps this girl is pretty much amazing

 i have never met someone

so compassionate

loving

kind

hilarious

and as talented as her.

i cant wait to see how she is going to change the world someday

cuz lets face it we all know she will.

anyways im tired so that is enough for tonight

ill write about this weekend sometime soon....

OH and be excited because i have some amazing scroll police logs to write about

i know you cant wait

to be honest i cant wait to share them!!!!

just a thought.....

i think it is better to have a few extremely close friends

then a million just acquaintance friends

i sure do have the best of them:)

ps kaprena, chelsea and amy

i miss the crap out of you

where have you freaking been all my life.

please prove to me that you are alive sometime in the near future

i would really like that a lot
