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)

Easter!

So I was so excited because I got to go home for Easter! (Here in Logan I don't think that is the norm - more people go home for conference. . . ?) I spent a bunch of my time studying for my anatomy test because I am really good at waiting until the last minute to do that but I still had an amazing time with my family! Shayna wanted to make the delicious treats above and I love how they turned out! I love just enjoying time and that's what I do when I am HoMe! :)
The here is some of the pictures that we took! :) There is the family minus mom - I wish we had gotten one with her in it but oh well - Then there is the girls! :) And then there is me with our ducklings - my dad wanted them I guess - So he got them (so there is a picture of him playing with them too)! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Get Validated

My friend found this and shared it with me and I felt like sharing it with all of you! It is long but I think it is worth it!

Remember how beautiful and amazing and great you are! I love all of you! Don't forget to help others and let them know how great and wonderful they are too!



Attitude is Everything!

The spot where the sagebrush grows!

This is a picture that my friend Millie took on Tuesday night. I remember looking at that sunset from my apartment window when it was still snowing and the snow looked like sparkles it was so beautiful!

Teeth and Old Sweethearts

So last week was Spring Break and I loved every second of it . . . even when I broke a tooth . . .oops! I will tell the whole Spring Break story later but for now I will just let you all know that when you are eating Sweethearts in March make sure you don't bite them at the wrong angle because I can figure that happened in my mouth is I did (Hope that makes sense). But anyway I broke a tooth and had to schedule the dentist into my life. It didn't hurt really except it was sharp and didn't get along with my tongue. BUT once at the dentist there was 15 minutes from walking into the office to walking out and NO numbing (I hear it is worse than the pain . . . which I didn't have any of) :) And in honor of this great dentist story, here is a great after the dentist video.

Bubbles, Kites, and Rain

This is kind of random but then again when am I not? I just wanted to write about these three things today! Bubbles! I LOVE blowing bubbles so much! Now this may be a hobby that only keeps me occupied for 3 minutes before I get bored or I can go for hours, but I just love watching them float around in the air or even popping them! I just enjoy it! Oh and bubble gum bubbles are fun to play with too. Especially if you have someone with you who LOVES to pop them. . . it's so much fun to see a face light up when you let them smack and pop something coming out of your face. ;)
Next is kites! I love kites too. Once again it is something that really only keeps me entertained for a little while and I don't do it a whole lot but it's just fun! My roommate Ashley and I were talking about it the other day and we decided that we need to go and fly some! I love them and I think it is just because of small tidbits of memories that I have.
RAIN! Oh my gosh I love the rain! I got to walk home in it yesterday and just smiled the whole way home! It's such a gorgeous, fun thing! My pant leg bottoms did get wet and that's never fun but I love rain period. That is all that really needs to be said. Oh! Here is a great song about rain . . . don't be fooled she is saying stay rain!
