on thurs i am heading to washington dc to see these beautiful friends get hitched!



then on sunday i am going to nashville, tennessee to see brooke and trenton for thanksgiving!

beautiful!

even though the air is chilly, i have recently come to a new appreciation for the beauty of fall! this week i have found myself (more than a couple times) stopping in awe at all the sweet colored leaves lying around everywhere. growing up on the beach didnt really give me opportunities like these. isn't it great that there are different kinds of beauty everywhere!

for some reason, lately i have been wishing i live in a city. i want to walk outside and wave down a cab. i want to dress up all the time and not feel out of place. i want to feel the excitement and busyness that a city brings. i want that crazy city life. i would die to live in nyc someday, and im hoping that time may need to come sooner rather than later.... first i need to think of a reason or or find an opportunity to get myself there...

stand by me

no matter what this video makes me appreciate life and smile! this video is inspiring and heartwarming. we live in such a wonderful world, full of wonderful people!

i just love my gma and gpa so much

(gma and gpa with most of the grandkids this summer)

this weekend elle, james, josh, and i went to gma and gpas house in midway and spent halloween evening hanging out with them. i really cannot express how much i love my family. i love that we can just sit around and laugh for hours. this is exactly what we did on sat. i love the bond that we all share, i am so lucky that i have cousins that are all around my age. we all get along so well and all just make fun of each other (not in a mean way). moments with my family are always treasured and i am so lucky to be able to have so many of them. and i am so lucky that i have such fun grandparents. i cannot even express how much love i have for gma and gpa they are exactly the way i want to be when i am old. there is so much love in our extended family and i thank my grandparents for that! i just cant wait for the last 3 cousins to come join us in college, just 2 1/2 more years!

recovered!!

my last post claimed i was nervous about feeling sick.... well the nerves were right and i got the plague. i am finally human again and got out of the apartment! while i wont lie one full week of not moving and watching full seasons of the oc with my fellow sick roomates was great, i am so happy to get fresh air and move around. it is snowing today in provo, i woke up excited to finally go to school, i got in my car and my battery was dead, so i walked in a blizzard. even though it is blustery cold it felt great to be in the fresh air.. finally!
