UP

So my life has been so good lately. I am truly blessed with the best of the best people in my life and I am loving it! Thanks! :) Yesterday I was given the opportunity to go to the movie UP with my friends Cyri, Erika, and Katheryn. It was sold out for the showing that we wanted to get to but we decided to grab tickets to the next showing and chill for a little bit. Erika and Kathryn had things to do but Cyri and I went to a park and got to just relax and catch up! I loved it and the people across the stream from us were also an amusing sight to watch. After the movie we went and got ice cream and my friend Will ended up stopping and visiting Logan so it was nice.
Back to the movie though! I was not disappointed at all. I think if you don't tear up at least once you should probably get some help to be more emotional . . . if you haven't heard about it look up the trailer (all youtube's ones have been disabled from being posted elsewhere) and ENJOY! The story is one of an old man who lost his wife and wants to fulfill the adventure that he promised her he would take her on when they were kids and it's thwarted a little by a Wildness Explorer, "snipe", talking dogs, and the old mans lifelong hero - hope I didn't give too much away! :)

I truly love it!

Also I came upon this song the other day and really like it. I think that it truly captures life as we all have people who would help us through anything and we need to turn to them sometimes! :)

Memorial Day Life

It's SUMMER and the weather decided to act like it too! :) This past weekend (Memorial Day) I got to go to North Ogden and spend time with Tiffany who has been my roommate for the past two school years and who I am so blessed to have in my life! She has been a HUGE example and help to me! While I was there I did all sorts of stuff (volleyball, glow in the dark ultimate frisbee, went for a "walk" {I was told we were going on a walk and fifteen steps out the door it was a RUN}, went swimming, got to play with her family . . . next best thing to mine) and although she was sick it was so good to just BE there! Monday we decided to go and do something out and about fun so Tiffany, Kyle, and I went to Salt Lake and Hogle Zoo (My first time ever). It was super fun! :) Here are some photos!
We got our pictures with this gorilla trying to fit in with it. Love it!


One of the funniest moments at the zoo was when we were looking at a gorilla like animal (I don't think it was an actual gorilla but I don't know what it was) and some lady said something like - if it's big and ugly it's a boy. Kyle was not impressed, he thinks guys always get the bad rep. We laughed for a really long time and it came into play with some of the other monkeys too . . . but don't worry we made sure he knew it didn't apply to him or really any of the guys we know.

Giraffes and Elephants! :) AND some of my favorite people ever!

Kyle and Tiff with the elephant . . . I think I heard a zoo keeper tell someone that she was pregnant - the elephant not the zoo keeper I mean.

Pot of Gold or Something Better?

So the other day my mom, Shayna, and Amberly came and helped me transfer from one apartment to another one. :) We spent some down time at Grandma and Grandpa's too! Saturday evening heading back into Logan we saw this beautiful sight. I wish the camera had been able to capture it better but I LOVE these pictures nonetheless! (Also I vote the second part to my title question)
