It finally feels like summer!! :) I'm loving this weather and the sunshine! It really just brightens my day! I haven't been able to be out in the sun too much so I'm still pretty pasty white but I'm still loving it! I love being able to go outside at night in shorts and a t-shirt and not even have to worry about getting cold. Last night on the way home from my late indoor soccer game (the game started at 11:25 and got over about 12:15...I hate those games!! It's too late to function enough to play a soccer game.) with Bryan we had the windows down the whole time and it was beautiful! I finally got my first smell (yes, smell not taste) of summer. There was a camp fire going somewhere and I could smell it...I told Bry that the smell of campfire is what makes it summer for me. I can't wait to have a campfire and hopefully even go camping this summer. I didn't get to go camping last summer because everytime there was a campout with friends I was either gone or working. And to add to my excitement over summer I'm going to CALIFORNIA on thursday!! AHHHH!! I haven't been to cali since I was 16! I'm soooo excited! I'm going out there with Bryan's brother jason and my favorite future sister-in-law Melinda and their adorable boys and meeting Bryan and his parents out there. I get to meet Bryan's grandparents and some of the people from his mission! I can't wait to get to meet them and to be able to soak up some sun on the beach! We're going to Sacramento and Oakland and possibly San Fransico. YAY!! :)
Oh and other exciting news...I'm going to get my own car! I have been looking at cars on KSL and I need to talk to my bank about a loan but this is really gonna happen! I am so ready to have my own car! It's time for me to get serious about this! I think it kinda hit me that I really need a car when my little sister Jess got the car that I was thinking about getting from my uncle...yeah I need a car! I'm hoping to have a car by the time that Jess get's down here...I guess we'll see how that goes depending on when she ends up coming down here to Orem.
I'm also getting more excited for Jess to come to school here! I have really missed having her around to talk to about things and giving me opinions on my outfits and little things like that! I'm so glad I have such an amazing little sister! It's gonna be lots of fun having her down here with me! I can't believe my little sister is all graduated and and coming to college! It seriously seems like it was just yesterday that I graduated from high school. I remember feeling like life was changing too quickly and I wanted things to go back to the way they were so much just like she is feeling right now. I am so glad that things have turned out the way they have so far though and I know she will be looking back 2 years from now saying the same thing. I have an amazing boyfriend, the best friends in the whole wide world and the greatest family anyone could ask for. I have a good job and I really like working with the people I work with. Life is great! I'm really excited for the adventures that life is about to bring to me in the next few years. I'm pretty darn nervous too but that's what life is about...overcoming the challenges and trials that are thrown your way!
Well I guess that's all for this time friends! Much love!

hello!!! :)
Hey everyone! So I've had this blog for about 4-ish months and I haven't written anything because I had no idea where to start... so I'm just gonna go for and write whatever comes to my mind!
This past weekend I went home for mother's day and one of my best friend's weddings! Kennie got married!!! I am so happy for her! :) She looked absolutely gorgeous! I went to her reception kind of knowing I was going to end up crying by the time it was over (my "special friend" that comes around once every month was visiting me and let's face it... I'm just an emotional wreck when it comes to that time of month). I was doing great, other than being a tiny bit jealous of Kennie because I was wishing that I was getting married, until the daddy-daughter dance. It was a really sweet moment. I was sitting there thinking how cute that was and then it hit me that I won't get to do a daddy-daughter dance at my wedding and the flood gates were opened. I have always known that my dad wouldn't be there physically when I get married but it had never hit me as hard as it did then. There are so many things that my dad won't get to be there for in person that are all coming up quickly in my life like he won't get to be there in person when my boyfriend asks for my hand in marriage or for my wedding in the temple, he won't be there to do a daddy-daughter dance with me, he won't be there in person when I have my first child.... and the this list goes on. I know he will be there in spirit and I'm truly grateful to know that but it's just not going be the same... I had a small break down on Sunday about this (Yup i was crying about my dad on mother's day. I'm that ridiculous. Sorry mom!) but then I realized it is because of temple marriage like the one Kennie just had that my family will be together forever.
The trials I have been through were hard and always will be hard for me but I honestly don't know what I would do without the knowledge that I will be able to see my dad again someday. I am so grateful that I am a member of the LDS church and that I know that my family is forever and my future family will be a forever family too. I am so grateful for my Savior's atonement and resurrection that made it possible for me to have an eternal family. I can't wait for that day when I can go through the temple to be married and seal to my future husband and make those sacred covenants with him...hopefully it will be sometime soon!!! :D
