Wedding Bliss

I've decided that one of the most thrilling, beautiful and perfect experiences that a girl can have is this:
Watching one of her best friends get sealed in the temple to her fiancé.
It is amazing.

The romantic and heartfelt moment when they walked out

She's beautiful.

Her face when she saw me for the first time!!

Chesney & I

Soooooo much kissing. Hah!

My little babies are growing up!

Ahhh. My other family. xoxo

Bridesmaids. How beautiful is Maika?! Ahh

Their faces! So much love.

You know that's right! Included in the slideshow!

This lady. My mom/grandma/friend and loving example.

The fantastic table decorations that Chesney made!

One of my favorite moments! Brother got to Skype from his mission in Mexico!

Dancing. To their beautiful wedding song.

Cheek exercise from hurting so much. Right before the Daddy-Daughter Dance. 

This is Aaron's sweet Papa. My favorite moment of the night was looking over at him during the Mother-Son Dance and he had tears in his eyes. 

Traditions....

Running through the bubbles! Their faces are priceless.

Goodbye Mr. & Mrs. Virgin! 

Amen.

Daily Truths

I love this blog.

I feel like each "compliment" speaks directly to my heart.

These are just a few that have connected with my lately.

Poetry?

"an attempt":

through years of memories
we jump through the hoops
constantly wondering if we're on the same track
the road divides
we walk alone
this time, only thoughts are on our sides

"come. back. to. me."
that is all I ask.
fly home to my home once more
lets pick up where the pieces fell
and forget the dark and sleepless nights
lets rewrite what was written
so that midnight can roam free
again.

i wash my face with the coldest ice.
wishing i had warmth
tears start to fall
but i slap them away, not tonight
not at all

this is an attempt to convey
to express with deep regret
that if i had to do it all over again,

nothing would be changed.

Future Me

Dear Future Me,

Well, we did it.

Here I am at college and about to start classes in a week.

At this very second, I'm sooo grateful for many things in my life.

-bright room

-K&B helping me get down here

-parentals helping with literally everything

-my sisters

-ice cream

-disney channel (for the laughs)

-this free time to reflect & ponder

-music

-memories & relationships

Also, I keep seeing this photo everywhere. 

And I relate.

Two Cats Walk Around The Block...

"We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence."

-Joseph Roux

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand."

-Henri Nouwen

"Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend."

-Plautus 

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."

-Albert Schweitzer

Being A Grown-Up

Some days are harder than others.

Some days are good.

My Favorite Things About Being an Adult:

1) Can do whatever

2) You feel a tad more mature

3) Dont have to ask permission

4) Everything is up to you

5) Eat whatever, whenever

Dislikes of Being an Adult:

1) Bills.

2) Work.

3) You don't have summer off

4) You spend a lot of time alone.

So what do you think? Ready to be an adult and have the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Goal Keeping

"A goal properly set is halfway reached."

My two big new years resolutions (among many more)

included these things:

1) Keeping my nails nice and long. 

Also known as.. no biting.

2) Less distracting and negative media

Also known as.. no PG-13 movies.

And guess what. 

For exactly 60 days, I have been keeping these goals!!!

Congrats for me!!! Whoot!

Life Is Short

29,445 More days until I am 100 years old.
Most likely, I will be dead before then.
That's it.
That's all the time I have.

Treat every moment as if it's your last.
Tell those you love how you feel.
Stand up for yourself.
Hug your family.
Forgive and forget.

You never know when it's your time to go.
I have less than 29,445 days to become who I am.
Today,
I'm going to start living.

My Bucket is Full

Inspired by a dear friend.

I've always loved the idea of having a bucket list.

Something that is attainable and believable. 

On August 2, 2010... KayKay and I made our BL's.

And this is/was mine:

-Go to all the LDS temples in the world

-Get kissed in the rain

-Marry my soulmate for eternity

-Meet the Pope

-Swim with dolphins

-See a duckbill platypus

-Get a puppy as a present (with a big red bow)

-Adopt children.

-Ride a giraffe

-Raise a chicken egg

-Catch a fish with my bare hands

-Donate my blood (DID it! Nov 2010)

-Have a child be named after me

-Ride on a train

-See the white house in Washington D.C.

-Touch a corpse

Isn't it interesting the things that are important to us at certain times in our lives?! I love thinking about it.

What kind of things are on your bucket list?!

Discourage.ment.

You are beautiful, no matter what they say.
Yes, words...can't bring you down.
Don't you bring me down today.

Yucky weekend.
Highlight = seeing Obnette.
Downside = getting sick.

I talked to my parents a lot today.
That always helps.
Except one little thing...
My Dad warned me that I'm showing signs of depression.

Is it just because of this time of year?
Last year around this time... I was a wreck.
Crying constantly.
Emotional rollar-coaster.

It's not like my life is hard.
Physically,
Spritually,
Mentally... I can handle it.

But then comes the BiG "E"...
emotionally.

pfffft.
I wanna figure this out!
And quickly.
Because I hate feeling this way.

And I don't hate a lot of things..

Off to see the world...

Sometimes, you grow up.

But just a little bit.

Right now in my life, I think I'm going to have to grow up...

But just a little bit.

ADVENTURE

is just around the corner....

Only 8 more days!!!

Word Barf.

There is so much on my mind that i seriously don't know where to start.

;aldsfjkasldkfjasldkfbnabsdf

In case you didn't see my previous post, I'm moving to Boston.

I need to pack/clean out everything/pack some more.

I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out.

I need to buy my airline ticket.

I need to bribe my Dad to buy it for me.

I need to say good-bye to everyone.

I need to cry about leaving.

Cause I haven't yet, and it feels like it's stuck inside me.

Weird, I know.

I'm such an addictive personality. 

I seriously wonder what is wrong with me at times...

The Bachelorette, Psych, Monk, Lie to me, Quantum Leap.. 

You name it, I've been addicted.

Levi left this morning/afternoon for the MTC.

I'm SUPER proud of him, but sad that he'll be gone.

BUT! Before he left, we got to go to the temple and he confirm/baptized me!

I have always loved going to the temple with him.

I LOVE TO LAUGH.

Everytime I can make someone laugh, or visa versa, my WHOLE day is 100x better.

I made my grandma do the "snort" laugh (you know what i'm talking about?)

and I loved it! I miss her a TON.

Even if she doesn't want me to marry a Mexican or black man.

My friends are amazing.

Every single one.

I am overly blessed.

Sometimes I wonder, "Would I be MY friend if I wasn't me?"

Does that make sense?

Every part of my personality can come to life with different individuals!

My Psych Buddy.

My Teacher of Greatness.

My All-Day-Everyday-and-Still-Loving-it Sister.

My Secret Lover. (you know who you are..Mykaka)

I am just SOOOOOOO grateful for my friends.

uencka;sdfiuyqnm;ldskfjuienjkal;sdfasdfasdfiouamasdnfasdkfhasdjklfahsdjklfhasdjklfh

Thanks everyone.

Advancing...

So much change.

differences.

revolutions and transformations.

1st off.

I'M MOVING TO BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

Or just west of it, in a little town called Natick.

I will be a Nanny Part-Time, and need to find another job out there!

I'm soooooo excited for this missionary/worldy/romantic experience!

I'm so oober blessed!

2nd thing on my mind.

BEST FRIEND GOING ON MISSION.

What do most people do when their best friend leaves them for two years?!

3rd thing.

MY ENTIRE WORLD IS CHANGING.

When Elder.Pants leaves,

Then goes Kay Kay to the far off unknown.

Then Netty to school!!

I don't know if I can handle all this.. CHANGE

But I'm trying.

Anything is possible as long as God's on your side.

An Invite for Bug Bites

 Idaho is beautiful.

Usually, when I think of Idaho, I think Napeloen Dynamite.

Dirt. Llamas and Pedro.

But 3 hours north of Idaho Falls, is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!

I didn't get to go inside, but I saw the Idaho Falls temple...

STUNNING!

Where we camped was very close to a small town called Hailey.

1/2 of it is owned by Bruce Willis!

Tons of famous people have cabins and summer homes up near that area!

One of them = Tom Hanks.

Below: Picture of a drive by shooting of his home:

It took 6 hours from Springville to get to where we were going.

So of course, I kept myself busy by doodling.

Here is an example of the doodles that I doodled:

When we got there, at the cabin.

I think a radar went out to all the bugs:

"Fresh Meat!!!"

(also known as... ME.)

You may think the below image is of my elbow.

NOPE. It's my very first bug bite/s

As most of you know, I am planning on being a Nanny this coming fall

(which I am VERY excited for!)

So throughout this entire week, I was with the children for most of the time.

My heart felt so... FULL.

Below are some photos of the precious angels.

(who weren't always precious!)

They were very ... cute.

One thing that I did with the older kids, was draw pictures on their fingers!

(genius right!!?)

They loved doing that! 

All in all,

Learning Experience.

But good, I just continued in reading my scriptures DAY & NIGHT 

I didn't want to chance anything :)

If you have never gone to Idaho.

Do it.

It's worth it.
