This past week I have really been missing my bestie, Maddison Alta Frei. We have been through thick and then. She has rescued me time and time again. Like the time when I thought I was going to get raped, mad you know what I am talking about. She has always been there, even when I have been a complete bih.
Ten reasons why I miss mad:
1. I miss how much she likes to eat, don't take that wrong. We both love to eat. We have the greatest time eating together.
2. I miss when she gets the giggs.
3. I miss stalking hot boys with her
4. I miss going to NYC with her.
5. I miss playing the guitar with here and losing it because we can't play and sing.
6. I miss watching drop dead gorgeous with her
7. I miss doing tradesies with her
8. I miss doing jigs with her.
9. I miss HBL.
10. And finally I just miss her beautiful face!
This post was totes cheesy but I do t even care. Love ya mads!
I have begun a new chapter in my life. I moved up to the 801, Provo! woohoo. I am still not sure how I feel about the move because it was so sudden and quite unexpected. And I don't do well with large adjustments. But i know that it is the right thing for me right now. Everything has fallen into place. I live with my brother Jacob and his gorgeous wife, my sister, Meg! I know, newly weds. It has been quite the experience. But now she is doing summer sales so it is just me and my bro. Quite the party. The first few days here were quite crazy.
The first day here, I got a boot on my car. There goes 50 bucks that i surely don't have..
The first night, the electricity didnt work. I love showering in the dark. AND to add to that the whole apartment smelled like cat pee. mm yes.
I went to donate plasma. Ended up spending my day there. When the phleb went to put the needle in my arm, he could no longer find my vein, so the digging began.
I have learned that I am an awful driver. Ran a red light and almost got in three crashes.
But not all of my new experiences have been bad. It has been great and I am so blessed. I am so lucky to have so much family and friends up here already!
Went to the Spiral Jetty. This place is so beautiful!
Hiked Mt. Timp with the newly weds
Went on a group date. Had dinner and had a fire in the canyon.
Watched a load of Gilmore Girls
Watched the first season of House in one day
Floated down the river with Em and saw a beaver!
Found my FAVORITE ice cream. Superman!!!
So far, it has been an adventure. I am learning a lot. I am so blessed
to my great number of 29! followers, please accept my deepest of apologies not blogging for quite some time now. I was inspired to start blogging again when looking at Alexa Leydsman's blog. I love it and she is so great. And while talking with mads she encouraged me to start again. It feels good, but i do have the blog jitters. I get scared over the strangest things. I think blogging intimidates me because i feel as if a blog is a competition against all the other blogs. But hey, I am not going to look at it that way anymore. Here is a lil' run down of my life.
My brother jacob is engaged!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!! Is beauty of a fiance is Megan Del Toro. He could not have chosen anyone better. She is simply amazing. And they are just lovely together. I cannot wait for her to be in our fam. She fits right in. Not to mention they will make beautiful mexican babies. I am glad we are adding more ethnicity into the fam. The date is the infamous 4/20. Hitler's day of birth AND National get stoned day. What a romantic day. FUnny and ironic thing is they didn't realized this until after they set the date. What dorks.
Mad and i are doing it. We are going to NYC! In less than a month! We have our plane tickets and all. Most of the time i can't keep myself contained, i think about it all the time, and at the worst of times. Such as in the middle of class, or at the library, or during an important church meeting. I even made up a dance in honor of NEw York and broadway. Maddi adores it. It includes jazz kicks, a jazz square and a little belly moving. Might i add once again that she loves it. but i am grateful that mad chose to stay here at Dixie. She seriously saved me. Thanks gurrrrllllll.
I am currently going to DSC. Taking my CNA, Anatomy, Labs, Guitar, and Sociology. My favorite is my Anatomy lab. Why? Because of the cadavers we get to play with. I love that i can just pick up a brain whenever i feel the urge. It's great. I am trying to make more friends and i feel like it is going pretty well. I went over to a new friends last night for crepes and they were delish. We ended up talking for a bit and i loved it. Also, Kortney Jones is a great person. I am glad that we have become friends these last two semesters. She is an example to me.
I love hiking. Mad and i are trying to go every week. I have always taken STG for granted. It is simply gorgeous. The red mountain is probably one of my favs. I love angels landing too. My next hike... Observation point. Yes! OH i want to do it soo bad.
I am going to the singles ward and am lovin it. I love my ward. I don't know how we get so lucky. First Elder Oaks, then Elder Bednar. It was incredible. The spirit that was there was amazing. I love the church. I bore my testimony last week and it felt so good. I was so comfortable up there and it felt so right. I have so much to be grateful for!
This is right after, buying food i can eat at the grocery store
The day after.. Trying to smile
This was after the most miserable night

I forgot how MUCH i LOVE this place. I went there today for the first time in awhile to do Baptisms. I need to go more often. That's my new goal. Nothing can compare to the Temple or the feeling of joy it gives you. This beautiful place is my ultimate goal.
This post has been put off for about 2 1/2 months. So here we go. Here are the highlights since then
Seminary Graduation Brooke Merrill did an awesome job of conducting, those of you that were there know what i mean. I sang with a few girls from madrigals and it turned out really well.
High School Graduation I drove on over to the Burns Arena with Lexie and Mads, my two best friends. It was definitely tear jerking. Although we forgot to pick up Mads. Don't worry, we remembered her. On our way there we told some good ole memories. I know, very cheesy, but it fit the moment. I was able to sit two seats away from mads at grad. Suprisingly i didn't cry. But i did it, i graduated from Snow Canyon High School. It was not easy, it was so tough. But i learned many lessons and made some amazing friends.

Peacock On our way back down to St. George we stopped at the petting zoo and of course they had a peacock. For those of you that don't know peacocks are my biggest fear. I screamed as soon as i saw it. My goal is to touch one, so my dad pushed me over to it. I couldn't reach it so i began to chase, this lasted about twenty minutes. I was never able to get to it but i was proud of myself nonetheless.
The beautiful rainbow
Look how close i am!!
Move I recently moved in with my brother Kimball here in St. George. It's nice to live on my own but lonely at times.
