Hot Springs

Amanda and I were able to meet Katie, Danika, and Jenny, along with some others at the Hot Springs about two or so hours away from us. It is about half way between us so we thought it would be a good place to meet up.

After we were there for a while, we decided we were hungry and drove to get something to eat. It was a lot of fun being able to hang out with them. I miss those guys a lot!

It's Here!

College football season is here and I am super excited! I have been waiting for this since last season. And I am especially excited because I get to watch it this year and I don't have to get the play by play from my mom over the phone. I bet she is excited about that too! :-) Living in Rexburg I did not have the channels available to me to watch so that was the saddest thing ever for me. I definitely went through withdrawals and now I don't have too.

The Best Kind of Post - An Update!

So it appears I have a lot to catch up on. I apologize in advance because this will most likely be an incredibly long post... so here it goes.

In July, my friend and former roommate Kate got married in the Colombia, South Carolina temple. I was able to travel, along with another friend, Whitney, to North Carolina to be there for the wedding and participate in wedding stuff and the reception. I was so glad to be a bridesmaid and be able to fly across the country and spend this time with her and her family.

Apparently Whitney and I had a little too much fun on the plane! :-)

We had a last girls night by going to Taco Bell.

Wedding Day...!

I went to Rexburg for Amanda's graduation and it was so much fun hanging out with the girls one last time before we were not all in the same spot again.

It was so much fun watching her graduate. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments!

I have been hanging around Provo just waiting for school to start on August 29th. I am nervous and excited. I started out nervous, but now I think I am getting excited. I think it is partly because I am tired of not having structure.

On August 19th, my cousin Jordan got married to a great girl named Amy. My parents came to town and stayed for a week. It was great to have them here. I miss them a lot. We got some things ready for my classes and did some shopping. We were also able to visit some people that my mom wanted to see. It was great to meet some of her friends and our family that I haven't had a chance to meet yet. It was also awesome to hang out with friends and family while getting ready for the wedding and at the wedding and reception. It was a beautiful day!

It was a fun day. I also got to go out to dinner with two of my old roommates who are doing their student teaching here in Utah. It was so great to see them! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of that, but trust me it happened.

I am hoping to do better at this blogging thing but we will see how that goes. :-)

P.S. A lot of these pictures don't belong to me, I just borrowed them.

It's Your Birthday...

So tomorrow (August 3rd) is my birthday and I am going to be 21. I can hardly believe that I am that old already. It seems like time is flying by.

Me and My Gang

This is our theme song...

This is a picture of three of my roommates and I. We got our nickname of "The Gang" from my mom because we were always together, hanging out, and doing things. We thought it was cool so we kept it.

We love to do things together and now that I am living in Provo and they are still living in Rexburg it is hard, but we still make time to see each other.

When I was up in Rexburg, we went shooting and to Levi's baseball game.

So we only took two pictures at Levi's game... whoops...

Lucky for all of us, they came to Utah twice! :-)

The first time they came, we went to The Cheesecake Factory and to Pirates 4 at IMAX. We also walked around Gateway Mall in Salt Lake. It was so much fun to see them, since we hadn't seen each other in a long while.

The second time they came to visit, we went to the Salt Lake Bees game, which was a lot of fun!

(P.S. The pictures might be a little out of order.)
