Hi to all my followers who thought I disappeared from face of the planet.<br />
Well don't worry I didn't fall from the face of the planet... only from the face of America.<br />
Last year I decided I would dig up my hiking boots (not really I bought new ones), pack my things and travel to Europe.<br />
I always was the girl that whined about wanting to travel, wanted to see the world, see Europe, but never actually did it, because it scared the living poop out of me thinking about actually traveling to some unknown place where I know nothing, or no one, let alone the language.<br />
But when I decided I wanted my major to be graphic design, and Utah State had a study abroad to Switzerland for it, I knew it was my chance to jump on one of my life long dreams.<br />
I signed up, not knowing if I would know any of the students going, what to expect, how to prepare, but it excited me, I was actually fulfilling a dream, which I can tell you now, is a wonderful feeling.<br />
<br />
Lucky for me as started talking to people around campus, I figured out I knew a few people going, Kait being one of them, who I knew all through out high school, so it made me that much more confident in my decision to go. I was stoked, Switzerland was my #1 place in the world to travel. The first reason because my family is from there and I wanted to see the country that my family and blood once ran through, and also because I felt the Swiss Alps had been calling my name all throughout my life... at least I think. I also knew that while I was in Europe I couldn't not see other countries... I mean who knows when I would be there again (let me tell you real soon because now I can't stay away). So luckily my best friend was going on a different study abroad to Europe and wanted to travel with me after. We were a little sketched out at first traveling.. just two girls. So we were desperate to find some guys to travel with. To our extreme luck, to of our guy friends decided they wanted to go, so we planned to meet up at the end of June, and backpack through a bunch of countries. <br />
<br />
To be honest we really didn't plan that much for the backpacking part. I mean how could you besides read books about a place that you've never been and don't know what they are talking about. Basically the only planning we did was figure out what countries we were going to hit, and bought a Eurail train pass, that would get us from country to country. And that was it. Nothing else.... I will blogging about that part later because let me tell you it was a true adventure.<br />
<br />
But yeah so after the little planning and me fully paying for my study abroad, the next thing I knew I was packing the night before (talk about procrastination) all my stuff into my 40L backpack that I would be surviving from for the next month and half. And let me tell you... 40L does not fit much, I basically shifted through the same 10 pieces of clothing the whole time I was there. <br />
When packing for Europe, especially when you are backpacking... pack light!!!!! I cannot stress that enough, when I was with the others their backpacks were so much lighter than mine and I raged with jealousy at every second. It wasn't all my fault my bag was heavy because they didn't have to pack hiking gear and winter clothes, because they weren't snow shoeing the alps, but still I hated life sometimes on those hot days where we hadn't found our hostel yet we're roaming the streets with my back breaking.<br />
<br />
Anyways sorry for the rampage... I finished packing.. got to bed late... didn't sleep because I was so stoked, and next thing I knew I was in the car with my dad traveling to the airport on my way to the biggest adventure of my life. The biggest adventure that will forever have a place in my heart, and brings me to tears thinking about it. Little did I know the huge life changing experiences I would be having as I arrived.<br />
<br />
I am going to try to blog ever day a play by play about each day while I was there. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask.<br />
One major reason why I am blogging about my adventure is because one, I want to remember it, and my blog is like my journal. And second because I want to give people the motivation and confidence to do it themselves. I am telling you guys now, you have to backpack and adventure, it changes your life and you for the good.<br />
SO don't be afraid to ask questions, and I hope I can pump you up to fulfill your own life long dreams! <br />

Awhile back Paul and I went to Montana to visit his brother and I made a little video of our adventure. I absolutely loved it, I think it shows Paul and I's personalities so well, and even our weird goofy side. I am better at telling stories through videos, so enjoy if you'd like to watch, the video is at the bottom of the post!</div>

For those of you who don't know me, I am going to school to be a Graphic Designer. I am just taking art classes at the moment trying to get into the art program and then the Graphic Design Program.<br />
I almost had to transfer schools because my current school almost made it take me 6 years to graduate...for a Bachelors. I went through a week of hell, praying, fasting, demanding, and persistence until I figured it all out. I am still not in the program yet, but I got things figured out, and I don't care how long it takes. I KNOW will get it.<br />
<br />
I know Graphic Design is for me. It is what I want to do, and nothing else.<br />
I have never been so sure of something. <br />
I am 100% and completely and overwhelmingly excited to be a graphic designer.<br />
I sit up at night scrolling through the illustration section of Pinterest.<br />
I jump back and forth between bloggers who have the most inspiring and beautiful designs I could lay my eyes on. I find myself doing tutorials at any moment I have free time on my computer, so I can learn something new on Illustrator or Photoshop. I see something and instantly want to create it, and will do anything to learn how to make it. I love it. It inspires me, it pushes me.<br />
Who knows how long it will take me to graduate from the program.<br />
But I don't care.<br />
I will work a lifetime to to do what I love.<br />
I will just cherish every little step. Every moment I learn a new tool, or dream up a new design.<br />
I will become the designer I aspire to be.<br />
<br />
<br />
After stalking some of my favorite bloggers I decided to make a little desktop quote shown below.<br />
My creative juices were flowing, and I have miniscule knowledge, so here is my miniscule design.<br />
Happy Late Night Wednesday! <br />

<br />
If you didn't read my last post, I mentioned that I snagged myself a boyfriend on the Moab trip,<br />
which was a total shocker to me and him.<br />
Before the Moab trip we had about 15 other ideas for spring break from a Cruise, Mexico or just St. George. India, had a friend from high school just return from his mission and came to Utah State, and we had hung out with him once or twice, he was a way good looking guy, but was more on the quiet side so I thought he wasn't interested at all in me.<br />
<br />
Three months down the road we all hung out again and the topic of Spring Break came up, we tossed around our ideas, but I didn't think we'd end up going to the same place. So the day before Spring Break, Kaytee and I agreed on Moab and Paul messaged me on Twitter to text him about the trip because his plans fell through. Next thing I knew Paul and I were driving alone back to Draper, to meet up with Kaytee to head to Moab. I thought it was going to be soooo awkward. I had maybe hung with Paul three, all of which we maybe spoke 5 sentences to each other. But the drive was nice, we jammed out to Metro Station and had a little music flash back. Kaytee was still busy by the time we got to Draper, so Paul and I had like a mini, non first, waiting date, that wasn't a date. Confused? Yeah you should be haha<br />
<br />
We went to dinner and then I took him to Scheels.. he had never been before.<br />
The conversation was easy, we laughed, had a good time, but I still thought nothing of it. I mean of course I was excited he was coming.... I mean just look at him.<br />
When we got to Moab him and I slept next to each other... Kitty wanting something to happen between us, nothing did obviously. But the next day when we went jeeping me and Paul got squashed in the back basically me sitting on top of him for like 6 straight hours, we got comfortable with each other, and fast.<br />
<br />
I realized I liked being close to him, I felt comfortable and safe, I enjoyed his company. So later that night we kissed, and things began to kinda start. We weren't by each other at every moment which was nice, but since we were camping we spent every waking moment with each other. I really got to know him, and him me. I even felt comfortable with him in any situation, especially my looks. <br />
I hadn't showered for week, hadn't brushed my hair, and it was one huge dread. Yet he was still attracted to me? Like could this be the man of my dreams? <br />
<br />
So anyways we got back, me having NO IDEA what would happen. I was so questionable if he was someone I would date, and if things would even work out. <br />
That Sunday we drove home together, and we talked about the church and life. He had such a love for what he had to say, and I knew that he was someone I could see myself dating.<br />
That whole week we spent every moment together, and that next Sunday, he said he didn't want to date anyone else, so the beginning of a beautiful relationship started.<br />
<br />
Paul treats me like gold. From cooking me dinner, surprising me with breakfast, accepting my love of random photo shoots and all that in-between. We communicate so easily, and are equally extremely weird. The thing I love most though, is the love the he has for the gospel and the amazing faith he has. He is continually an example to me every day. <br />
Currently... our relationship is kinda on hold, with him being gone doing summer sales, and I on my way to Europe for two months, we won't be together for four months. <br />
We didn't fully break up but we thought it would be good for us to date other people this summer and to finish what we set out to do. It's sad but needed, and I really think it will help me grow as a person. I am grateful for him in my life, and if things are meant to be... at the end of Summer we will be back together.

Lets talk spring break an eternity ago.
Every year I've made a last minutes decision on what I would do for spring break.
And every year without fail it is the best decision I've made.<br />
<br />
This year, the decision was Moab, Utah, and now those glowing red rocks have a place in my heart.
So like always Kaytee, Paul, and I went knowing no one besides Creighton and Seth... there was going to be 50 people. Good thing we are outgoing people.<br />
A little detail on Creighton and Seth, they travel the world doing extreme sports, bungee jumping, slack lining over canyons, rock climbing, anything that will make you pee your pants in terror they probably would do. So going into this trip we knew we were getting ourselves into trouble.<br />
<br />
When we got there it was like 2 am, everyone was out cold in their tents to we went into ninja mode setting up a whole tent as quiet as possible. Yeah I would call that talent.
Waking up was a little awkward, walking to the campfire with everyone awake and your are some new alien. They were all so nice and welcoming though.
Can I tell you that every single person on this trip was so genuine, nice, and cool people. Everyone of them taught me so much and were so welcoming. Our new little trio were the youngest by far. Me and kaytee and 20 and paul was 21, the next youngest was 26. What can I say we roll with the older crowd, even though they aren't really old.<br />
<br />
So to sum up out trip in a couple sentences so I don't write a whole novel, it included me repelling for the first time ever... of an arch, hows that for a firsty. Lots of four wheeling was involved, canyoneering, razoring, rock climbing, basically all things that equal happiness we did. In no way will I really be able to express how awesome that trip was... hey I even got a boyfriend out of it haAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12976886453110305159noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965996274502279117.post-80322436160168642292014-03-03T22:28:00.000-08:002014-03-03T22:28:27.293-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Treat Night ended up being a whole lot of interesting last night. It included dancing teletubby sheep heads, India making out with the sheep head, Hoff drinking a raw egg and much more. Oh and Jamo and Kitty have to eat a spoonful of garlic salt, talk about bad breath for dayzzzzz.<br />
<br />
This Monday started out way good. I was able to get my bum outta bed at 6:45, that was exremely hard, and me and McElle went to a spin class. AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND. Besides the fact that my butt will feel bruised for a century, it was so enjoyable. It is nice taking classes because I feel like I push myself so much more. After class it was so nice being up early walking outside in the nice march weather and just taking in the day. I felt so productive and it was nice to have my workout for the day already done.<br />
<br />
On Monday's I have Institute which for those who don't know what it is, it is a religion class that we LDS college students can take, it isn't worth any credits but it seems more helpful than most other classes I am taking. Any day I have an institute day is a good day, I feel like I come out of that class with so much better of an idea of who I am and what my purpose in life is. After classes ended me and Kaytee were on a sushi craving grind. So we decided to go to this sushi grill right after class. We show up and it is closed from 3:30 - 4:30... we got there at 3:35... how random are those times!? So Kaytee had to vacuum out her car and we went in search for a free car vacuum cleaner.<br />
<br />
We drove up and down Main Street for a "Green Monkey" car wash that didn't actually exist, and Kaytee tried going to a car wash that had been shut down for years, she started to get frustrated that the vacuum didn't work until she realized it probably hadn't worked for the past 5 years, I was in tears with laughter. She was on a sassy roll today, I couldn't stop twitter quoting her.<br />
Like the fact that she almost hit a pedestrian on the crosswalk, and was annoyed that he was angry yelling "NO ONE EVERY STOPS FOR ME ON CROSSWALKS" so I guess since people don't stop for her, others don't deserve it hahaha. After an hour long of Kaytee sass and the Vacuum search we finally got some well deserved Sushi. Where Kitty proceeded to flirt with the waiter the whole time, quoting, "I love flirting with waiters, even if they aren't cute". I will never understand her thinking?<br />
<br />
After that it all went downhill. I have been sick with a cold that last week, with the voice of a smoker who smokes 10 packs a day. Then the sinus headache hit me and I was out cold for 4 hours. When I woke up it looked I had been to hell and back. One side of my hair was sticking 10 feet in the air.... or like it seemed, and the clothing I was wearing was half of what I wore to school, thrown with a sweater, and random leggings. I could have definitely won a spot on "What not to Wear". Abby was in the same boat, so we decided to get an ugly roommates of the day photo. Then she passed my like four pills to take, saying it would fix my headaches. I am still questioning what kind of pills she gave me. I guess we will find out soon.<br />

Happy Sunday my friends! Ahh I just love the weekends. Maybe especially this weekend, it has just been so dang good! Our church is usually at 9:30, which after a Saturday night of getting to bed at 3 am can cause a lot of tears. BUT this Sunday is was Stake Conference so it was at ONE, lets get a hallelujah! Even better it was in Logan's Tabernacle, it is always a great experience having church in a building with such rich history. So since church was later Kaytee, Abby, and I rolled out of bed around 10:30 and got started on breakfast. My breakfast was oh so delicious, Abs and Kitty were raging with jealousy I had some yogurt with granola, and the freshest most divine strawberries I have had in while. We had all the blinds open, church music playing, and happy vibes all morning. Then we headed to church and met up with all our friends in our stake. We got a new presidency so we were able to hear all of their testimonies, and to hear the testimonies of men who are so close to God brings happiness to my heart, I didn't get to write any notes while listening to them, but one of my favorite quote from institute I heard this week was "When you are feeling beaten and discouraged and of no hope, that is Satan. When you feel a pull to do better and improve oneself, that is God". This helps me to realize that no matter how many mistakes I make and no matter how bad I, or anyone else messes up, God will always forgive you. When you feel down and worth nothing, that is Satan getting at you, God is on your other side telling you he is there to help and lift you up. Christ who suffered an indescribable amount of pain and death for us, wants nothing but the best for you and I, and wishes only happiness for us. The only way he can give you that happiness is if you let him in, which can be as simple as a prayer to him.<br />
After church we headed home, cooked some lunch. I made stir fry for the first time, and dang I am gooooooood. I tried a bite expecting to gag a little bit, but hey it was good, so props to me! As we all cooked we sang and danced around, that happens basically every time we go into the kitchen, and I love it so much. I think that maybe my dance moves are getting better..... probably not.<br />
Now me and abs are sitting in our living room watching the Oscars and drooling over Zac Efron.<br />
And later some friends are coming over for treat night. So today started good and will end good with yummy food and good company.<br />

This morning at the Ivy House has been one of best Saturday mornings yet. With the rain falling outside, John Mayer playing in the background, and sipping on some tea, how can it not be a great day. Although it's been relaxing I was actually quite productive. I did some spring cleaning in my bedroom, lets say that took awhile. I cleaned the kitchen, did some homework, and did some sketching. Most say they aren't morning people, but I think mornings are the best. Most of the Ivy Girls went home for the weekend so it was just Kitty, Abs, and I. As I did some scripture study and Kaytee did some homework we just listened to the rain pour down, and that small simple moment just made my day. It realized that it is small simple moments that our life is made up of, and those are the moments we should cherish most. One day when I'm married and have kids and I am running all over the house trying to get things done, I will think back to my college days. And I will remember them so fondly and maybe even wish I could go back. I want to take in every moment, every laugh, every party, every friendship that I have in college and savor it. I feel like I have done that a lot lately. By no means is my life perfect, there are a lot of trials I have to go through, but this week has been the happiest week. Nothing has gotten me down, just walking up old main in the morning would make me smile, or sweeping the floor as my roommates talk about crushes. All those moments have made my heart so happy this week. My goal is to keep my mind on all the positives in my life, because lets face it, I have been blessed with so much that even the the biggest of trials are so small compared to all the good in my life. <br />

Let's talk about this Salt Lake weather last weekend. Basically it is unreal.<br />
Since when did 60 degree weather exist in the middle of February? If it was this kind of weather<br />
at this time of every year, I would be the happiest human. Yet this weather is so depressing knowing the snow is just around the corner. I would have to say mother nature is sorta evil.<br />
Since we knew snow was in our future, we decided to make every bit of this warm weather.<br />
When I come home I try to spend as much time with my sisters as I can. They are both in high school and have social lifes, so having them schedule me in is also hard. But we all found time this Saturday to go downtown and take a stroll.<br />
As we walked around, all I wore was a jacket. I think my sisters got sick of me saying "can you believe how warm it is!?". I was just lovin it a little too much.<br />
Sometimes I when I go down town I blow so much money. I mean how can you not when they have amazing clothing stores, antique stores, and stores in general.<br />
But SLC does have a lot of free hidden treasures.<br />
My favorite place to visit every time I go there is a book store just on main right by Keys on Main.<br />
It is this old building, that has never ending corridors. One room leads to the next and the place is just filled with all kinds of books, the old torn apart ones are my favorites. Oh and the National Geographic room is by far my favorite room in the place. It is filled with every NG magazine of every month since like the early 1900's. My goal is to one day read all of them. Crazy goal I know, but every magazine is filled with such interesting stories and pictures, I really can't get enough of them.<br />
Afterwards we made our way back to the car and stopped to get a little desert from Eva's Bakery.

<br />
I hope you have all been having a wonderful January and a great start to your year.<br />
I would like to say, that this year so far, has been so good to me. I think maybe because I have been<br />
more careful to see what I have, and have come to realize how blessed I am.<br />
Let me just tell you how blessed I am.<br />
<br />
I am going to the school of my dreams. Living in a cute white ivy house from the 1960's with a picked fence, and towering trees. I live with 5 of the most beautiful, talented, and loving girls this world has been given, and I get to call them my best friends and sisters. They are truly my family, and a life without them would break my heart. The amount of fun we can have is incredible. Even if it is 6 of us crowded in mine and Kaytee's room trying to figure out how to kill a spider the size of my face.... okay a little dramatic but it was quite large.<br />
<br />
Not only have a been blessed with true friends but a wonderful family. And a healthy one too. I have been given a dad that will work to the bone to provide anything all that he can for me. And a mom that with such a big heart. My sisters, well they mean the world to me. Although we grew up chasing each other around the house trying to beat one another up because one wore the others clothes, or how my two younger sisters go all wicked witch of the west and east and gang up on me. I love them with all my heart, and its a blessing to have sisters who also are your best friends.<br />
<br />
Bloggers have a knack of making their lives look perfect. BUT BELIEVE ME. My life is far from perfect, sometimes when I am in a negative mood, it seems like my life is in shambles. But that is only when I let myself see the bad. I have been given so much, so I need to appreciate it, keep it in my heart and feel the love and the prosperity I have in my life.<br />
<br />
Really, all those people who actually read this whole rant. I want to you to really consider my words. I have such a love for anyone who reads my blog, because it means that you care about who I am and what I have to offer. And I am forever grateful for you, and want the best for anyone who cares for me. For the rest of this month focus on the amazing things in your life and really ponder it. As I sat in the kitchen listening to my roommates bustle around, I took into my heart how much I loved them, and how I could not imagine my life any different right now. I know that all you have something that I want, something I mourn for, or something for me to be jealous about. Find that, and others, and open your heart, and focus on that good, because I know your life will change.<br />
<br />
Although I don't know many of you that read my blog, I have such a big love for you, and what you have to offer this world. Keep up the beginning of a great year!<br />

Consider it my baby because I love and care for it a little too much. I have not been able to put it down. I just have so much to learn and do. I have had the one and only India Earl showing me the ropes. She is one of the most talented photographers I know. Most photographs of me on my blog are done by her.<br />
<br />
I decided last minute that I am going to put a portfolio together for the Art Program here at Utah State. So I wanted to go take some creative original photos. Me and India wracked out minds for awhile and came up with a creepy, odd, yet high fashion idea for a shoot. We headed to Hastings (maybe the greatest store ever) and found ourselves some masks. I got a sheep and she got a giraffe and our shoot started to come together. The sheep head may have been the best purchase I have ever made, lets just say in the last two days we have made lots of funny memories with sherrie the sheep head.<br />
<br />
Anyways... We headed down to Second Dam to take some photos. It involved me falling in the river, stripping naked to switch outfits, and hiking some mountains. India and I just traded off photographing each other, trying to make the most of the light that was left. I won't lie, it was hard to not laugh while photographing these.<br />

How lame right? I live with the state with the best snow on earth and I don't do anything with it!? I was so excited when we finally decided to go sledding. We headed up to donut falls to hits some hills and make some steak. Wesley had a cabin up there so it was bring your own meat, kaytee was feeling manly and wanted herself a steak, so steak it was. When we finally got up there and went sledding for maybe an hour. And then spent the next three hours backcountry exploring. And can I tell you, it was the funnest thing I have done in awhile!<br />

I was enveloped by it and read it in three days, that was maybe the easiest assignment I was given my whole high school career. So when the new movie came out and everyone became obsessed, I was a bit bitter because I was the one that liked it first... haha how school girl of me right? Well now that I got over that I was beyond excited to hear that Arvo was throwing a Great Gatsby new years party. Arvo is a watch company that some kids that I went to high school with started. They have grown so much and they are like the dopest watches ever, if you don't know what they are, check them out because you will want one instantly.<br />
<br />
They also had upcoming artist from Utah playing at this party as well. Westward the Tide played, they are also a bunch of people from Alta, I swear the most talented people come out of my high school. And Luna Lune played as well. If you haven't heard of either, your life is not complete. If you want a new obsession and new great music, go check them out!<br />
<br />
Anyways... sorry for the ramblings, we went, and it may have been the funnest time ever. I just went with a bunch of my girlfriends and my lil sis came along as well. I am so grateful for her and how crazy we can be together. Best part of my night was when some 25 year old hit on her and then kissed her at midnight... what he didn't know was that she was 16! hahahahahahah could you imagine how much of a creep he would feel like if he ever figured out? He asked for her number but she gave him the wrong one. Poor guy became a cradle robber and dissed with the wrong number in one night, happy new year to him haha<br />
<br />
I couldn't have asked for a better way to end a year and start a new one. I may or may not have whip lash from whipping my head back and forth a bit too much, BUT I hope you all had a good New Year Eve, and I wish you the best year to come yet!<br />

<br />
2013 brought a lot of change to my life. I think more happened to me this year than in my whole lifetime. I hate those cheesy sappy wrap ups of a year in a blog post. Maybe because I hate anything serious, I am one of those people where I can't keep any conversation serious because once it hits a deep emotion telling note I get awkward and make a funny joke or sarcasm takes its toll. But I really wanted to express how grateful I am to 2013.<br />
<br />
My gratitude is towards all the horrible things that happened this year. Being grateful for bad things? Yeah I know now I am sounding like a nut case. But all the bad was brought for a reason and made me become someone I needed to be. My theory is that you can feel bad for yourself all you want, and sure people will feel bad for you at first but then they forget and you are on your own, and when that time comes, that is when you make the choice. You can choose to let it consume you and continue on with self pity, or you can realize that this trial is given to you for a reason and you can learn from it. When my parents got divorced this year, at first all I wanted was pity. Not only was divorce thrown at me but secrets, lies and deceptions. How was this fair, how was I supposed to just get up and go like nothing happened. My heart was broken my life was changed, and I am supposed to just move on? Just sitting in the corner of my bed filled with self pity and streaming tears seemed to me, to be the best solution. But when it wasn't helping, that was when I made the choice. From this trial, I gained a true testimony of the gospel. No one and nothing was making me feel better, I would run, watch movies, eat, don't eat, talk to friends, avoid my parents, nothing worked. Once I turned my faith towards Heavenly Father everything started to change. And I sincerely mean that.<br />
<br />
I would always hear of these stories where people would say they prayed about it, and God really helped. For some reason I had a hard time believing that the biggest solution through a trial was Heavenly father, like I thought they were just being dramatic, and I thought sure praying helped but I am sure time just healed. But after I put full faith into the situation I realized that he did help. There is a change in heart, a change in the type of happiness and joy you feel when you let the gospel in your life. I promise you will never understand it, until you try it, and I mean fully trying it with full effort and faith in your heart. So I did, and my life changed for the better.<br />
<br />
While the divorce and other things went down, my testimony grew stronger and so did I. Though my family life was falling apart, the rest of my life seemed to start getting pieced together. I gained a best friend, or more like a twin considering she is my other half. She understood everything I was going through and was put in my life for a purpose. I was able to go on a spring break trip with the most aspiring people, it was like the knew how to make you forget anything bad in your life. I had not only amazing roommates my spring semester, but this fall semester my roommates are my family, I don't know who I would be without them. I had the best summer, one for the books. And I was finally able to sorta let a guy into my life, still working on that but hey it was a start. My life really was bringing me so much joy. The trial I was going through started to seem like a little spec in the grand scheme of things. And sure sometimes it still bites me in the butt but I am able to push through it.<br />
<br />
This wasn't meant to spill out my feelings and turn into some testimony. But I just want to say that we all have control over our lives. Things will hit us and hit us hard, but I, I have 100% control on how I feel and how I am going to react. No one else can control that. So I am grateful, For the most amazing year filled with the most amazing people, and the most amazing experiences. I would say it was the best year I have ever lived yet. And so I leave a big fat HAH! to the trials that hit me, because you ain't got nothin on me. <br />

Last Post of Seattle I promise. I had so many photos to post from the trip and didn't want to overwhelm people with posting all of them in one blog post. We visited the famous gum wall twice because we were rushed the first time, my dad wasn't a big fan. It is so fun to walk up the street looking at how much nasty bacteria filled those walls but its funny how memorizing and eye catching it is. Who would think that a gum could make such a beautiful thing. What I think is so special about it is that, the gum is from people all over the world. Each little piece of gum came from a person who has a story. I wished that I could sit there all day and interview each person who stuck a piece of gum on that wall. It would be fun to read the stories of people who left a little piece, figure out who each is, some may think they have a boring life, but everyone tends to have some dark, adventurous, love story, its just all about the way you tell it. I sometimes do that. Just sit and think of the most random things, my mind is full of tangents and I love those tangents. And I love it when random things make me think, things like this gum wall. Well anyways... Seattle was great. If you haven't been there make it a priority go!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12976886453110305159noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965996274502279117.post-3478797286601544462013-12-15T19:22:00.003-08:002014-02-26T10:54:01.927-08:00A Hike To the FallsAlthough downtown Seattle has a lot to offer, there is a whole lot more to explore in the Washington mountains. We went and visited the falls... sadly I forgot the name of them, I swear I have the memory of a 90 year old women. But it honestly was so fun. I love that we went up to Seattle with my large family. I have so many cousins, though the closest to my age is 11, and they are always going crazy doing something fun. We walked through the woods, the trees are so breath taking, and we hung down by the river for some time. It is special to experience beautiful places like this with your family. Although my cousins are young, I like to get down to their level and just play around, it really helps me from getting so focused on growing up and being adult, and remember that I still can be a kid. I would say I am a city girl, but every time I go into the woods I never want to come out. I wish I could bundle the smells into a little jar and smell it all the time. Maybe I should pull a Huck Finn and live on the river for some time.<br />
<br />
Also I made a little video of our adventure:) <br />

Every year Thanksgiving consists of lunch at one grandmas and dinner at the others in same ole<br />
Utah. And usually by the time dessert rolls around my pants are unbuttoned and there is no room for a single crumb of pie. We have family who have lived in Seattle our whole life. They are my dads uncle and aunt but I would consider them a third grandma and grandpa, with their kids just being my first cousins. Out of all the 20 years that I have lived my life not once did we go up to visit them. This was a big mistake. HUGE. Because I have been missing out on a whole lot of wonderfulness for 20 years of my life. This year we decided that we would go visit for Thanksgiving, and now I want to spend every Thanksgiving there. For our normal festivities I never get to partake in making the dinners or desserts, we just show up and the food is ready to be shoveled down our throats. But we went to Seattle the day before and all day of Thanksgiving consisted of lots of family bonding time and cooking. Everyone had a job, adults, teens, kids. We all sat in the kitchen for hours laughing and cooking, I have never really experienced a Thanksgiving like that, and it was so special. It made me realize how much I love my family, I would have to say the thing that heavenly father blessed me the most with, was my family. I don't think I ever stopped laughing and we grew so much closer.<br />
A lot of our family drove up to visit, so the sitting arrangement consisted of 6 longs tables put together, it seemed to look like the table on Grinch when they are all eating at the end. Not only was that actual Thanksgiving great, but just the whole city. Washington and Seattle is full of beauty and art around every corner. I honestly couldn't get enough. My family kept leaving me behind while I tried to get photos, which resulted in my snapping dumb shots because I was on the run as I tried to take the picture. All the photos below are from day one.We went to eat at Iver's where the seagull weren't lacking. You put a fry up in the air and ten came swarming, there were a few times that I thought a hand or a finger might have been lost. And don't get me started on Pike's Market Place.... beautiful wonderful things come from that place. I could spend hours there either people watching, eating, or observing all the street performers. <br />

Lets try No Use-November. Ever since November hit, my level of usefulness has gone from a solid 7 to a zero. You know when you have those days that turn into weeks of you just sitting on your butt looking at a wall for two hours because it sounds better than writing an essay. Yeah well I am in that state. Also the death sickness has been filling the Logan air and everyone has been sick, and it now it has finally hit me. I fell asleep at seven last night and woke up at ten with my throat in agony. Kenzie gave me NyQuil to knock me out, and I couldn't have been any happier.<br />

India and I have both been crazy busy and haven't been able to get any fun shoots in, but we have a lot planned for this week so be ready! But this outfit is one of my favorites. I found this top at forever 21 in the sales section and would consider it a total steal, its one of my most favorite/unique pieces I own. </div>

As fall has gone on, the leaves have changed to their golds and reds and have slowly fallen to the ground. At our house they seem to fall...and fall... and fall. Our yard literally looks like it snowed leaves. We thought nothing of it and just kept letting them fall... until I realized I was having to trudge through the leaves to get to the road each morning. So I guess that meant it was finally time to do some raking. After church kenz abs and I went to go grab some rakes. Turns out we only had two, so I used a snow shovel. Go ahead and laugh, but dude... like it works so much better than a rake. I was plowing up a leaf storm. We built like 10 giant piles so naturally I had to jump into one. If you have never looked at a pile of leaves and thought "dang I need to jump into that" you have no soul. Well... keep having no soul because after I jumped into those leaves, I was instantly filled with regret. Do you know how long it takes to get leaves out of your hair... well let me tell you. HOURS. haha I literally was picking at my hair the rest of the day, I looked like a freaking monkey </div>

Later we were too lazy to make dinner so we went into full on mooch mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once
a month in the singles wards usually have a "linger longer", which is a
delicious dinner for ward to eat, after church is done. Well our ward
already had theirs this month so we went in search for another ward like
a hungry wolf pack. Yourdanos was nice enough to invite us to his so we
tagged along. We thought we could just go just act like we were part of
the ward, but it is kinda hard not to stand out when three tall blondes
walk in. The Bishop came up to Abby asking where she was from, she went
into full on panic mode and ratted us out that we were there just for
food haha he laughed and said we were welcome any time... so of course
we are for sure going back :)</div>

So basically my boot obsession is reaching an all time high. Me and Kaytee spent two hours online shopping for boots that we don't have money for. After the two hours of wasted time I ended up with 5 pairs of boots that I feel like I can't live without. Guys... some way or another by the end of winter I am going to have these. My #1 are the green modcloth boots. Please die with me at how pretty they are, basically one I put them on I will never take them off! The Iconic boots on the bottom right are also a must because they are a perfect winter boot. I needs some that are going to protect me from the loads of snow we get here in the winter, and they will go with almost anything. </div>

Has this month been amazing or has it been amazing? I am convinced happiness derives from all things October. The amount of pumpkin I have eaten in the last couple weeks may be considered a joke, the number of times I have carved and pumpkin and visited a pumpkin path is starting to get a little worrisome. But I am going to keep going with my routine because October once every 12 months, so I will continue on with my compulsive obsession.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
If I have not mentioned before. I have the best roommates in the world. (all of them not in the picture) Why? Because we are all uniquely weird and bring together all our weirdness into one big pool of awesomeness. You have Abby on the left who at times is the girliest girl you know, but yet you will find her sitting in her room listening to hardcore rap with her basketball jersey on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kenzie (second to left) is also as girly as they get, she wears nothing but skirts and dresses (this day was a rare occasion), puts on nightly face masks, has a new nail color everyday, but she also likes to think she is a legit hip hop dancer, and will "thug dance" at random times. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kaytee on the very right has the softest most innocent voice, yet the tigress is ready to be released at any moment, she is full of sass (the good kind) and is called "the sex kitten" for a reason. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could go on and on about McElle and Paige as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Each one of my roommates has something that I just love about them. We could keep ourselves entertained for days whether it is our dance parties in the kitchen to Chris Brown, "shopping" in each others closets, debating on which herbal tea is the best, planning extravagant parties that we probably will never throw, and making pumpkin desserts haha</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This rampage about my roommates was actually quite random, but I am just so thankful everyday for being blessed with these wonderful nerds in my life. </div>

Do you have those pictures that you ever came across on pinterest, and you were like.... I have to take one like that. For some reason I have always wanted some dope picture of me jumping on the bed.<br />
Even though I never told India that, she came up with idea of a shoot of me jumping on the bed.<br />
So you know what India. Thanks for making my dreams a reality.<br />
I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful month of October. And I hope you have all been scared<br />
out of your wits at least once. If you haven't, you poor soul, you are not living life. <br />

For those of you who don't know. I may or may not be a complete and total lover of all things that pertain to rain. The smell, thunder, lighting, puddles. They just make me so happy. Also on rainy days it gives an excuse to snuggle up with your best friends, make some herbal tea and watch a movie... or five. I had an intramural soccer game in one of the rain storms, and I may have been a little negative at first, but once I was actually playing in it, it was so dang fun. I may have been slide tackled and took out my shoulder... and got a huge bruise on my leg from the ball hitting me at full speed. But you know what, I loved every second of it! The crappy thing is that when I want to get out of the cold, our house is the last place you want to go. It is actually colder in our house, than it outside. Don't ask me how that works because I am still trying to figure it out by myself! <br />
So what we have to do when we come home is sprint to the warm shower, put on 5 layers of clothing, make some herbal tea and cuddle up in a nice blanket. In these pictures I am probably wearing three layers haha. I hope you all enjoyed the wonderful rain this week and weekend, and I hope you stayed warm!<br />

For those of you who do not know what dumpster diving is. Well the name gives it away. You literally get into a dumpster and take all the free food that your heart desires. Sure it sounds gross if you are a germaphobic freak. But I assure you, most food that you can get from Dumpster diving is fresh and clean. Not until this year did I take on this habit, but now that I have, it is an addiction.<br />
Most places in Utah and around the nation throw out fresh food daily. The biggest culprit is bakeries. They these sell fresh baked goods each day, and have you ever wondered where the leftovers go? Well most go into the dumpster. Yup. All this mouth watering fresh bread that was made that day is just lying in some dumpster waiting for you to eat it. Almost 95% of it is double bagged or thrown out in boxes, so no garbage nor rotten food even touches it. So sure, it was in a dumpster, but is it really that gross? I mean I am still alive, thriving, and maybe even growing stronger from all the free dumpster diving food I eat. The place me and my roommates hit most. Einsteins. It is like the mother load of bagels. GUYS I AM TELLING YOU IT IS AMAZING. We will go about an hour after Einsteins closes, so the bagels are not even in the dumpster long. And every single time all of the bagels are double bagged and look untouched. We obviously scan the bagels real well to make sure nothing looks sketchy, but we haven't been failed once. Our last batch lasted us 3 WEEKS. Do you know how much money that has saved me!? I probably save like $20 just because of it. For the bagels that we don't eat within the first couple days, we just freeze the rest. And even heating them up after being frozen they are still good as ever. If I haven't convinced you of becoming a dumpster diver. Shame on you! It really is so sad that so many places in our Nation just throw away good food like this. My thoughts where why in the heck are they not giving it away to charity!? Well because it is cheaper for companies just to throw it away. If they gave it to charity they would have to pay someone to gather it and drive it to certain locations. And us Americans... well that is just way too hard, and way to0 expensive. So join together with us dumpster divers and don't let food go to waste.<br />
<br />
I haven't been diving long but I was able to gather a little bit of information about the best places to dive and its legality. So in Utah it is legal, as long is there is not a trespassing sign, you shouldn't be in any trouble. As for other places I think the laws differ from state to state.<br />
Apparently the best places to dumpster dive are in college towns. I couldn't really find some solid information on why, but it seems more food places throw out fresh food there.<br />
I made a top 5 places to dumpster dive in Utah. Only two of these places I have actually gone, but the other three, I have heard from multiple sources, that they are a reliable.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Einsteins. (Didn't see that one comin did ya?)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Starbucks</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Pizza Pie Cafe</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Great Harvest</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Crispy Cream Donuts. </span></b><br />
<br />
Even though I only listed five stores, that does not mean they are your only options. There are so many places I bet near you that throw out fresh food. As I read for more information I kept coming across 3 types of food places that are the best to hit.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Bakeries</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Pizza Joints</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Donut Joints </span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
I find this completely true. There are quite a few bakeries in our town that I have heard throw out fresh bread and cookies constantly. There are also a few pizza places that do that too. Usually the pizza is at the top of the dumpster untouched and still in their boxes, same with the donuts. Another question that will probably pop up is what time of day should you do it? It honestly all depends. Obviously in the pictures below you can tell we went in broad daylight. So far we haven't gotten in trouble so we are just going to keep going with that! I usually suggest trying to dive for the food within 2 hours of them being thrown out. Although, the first time you scope a place out, I suggest going at night. Also another cool thing I found is that there is a dumpster diving website for Utah!<br />
It is legit! It has a map of all the places that you can dumpster dive, and you as well can add to their list! Go check it out it is pretty awesome!<br />

I hope I was of some help! If you have any questions honestly do not be afraid to ask!<br />

Everyone says they go to the best college, and they seem real convinced that they are right.<br />
But in the back of my mind I think... well you aren't going to my college.. so that can't be true.<br />
I never thought that I would be one of those people who was a die hard fan of their college.<br />
But... sadly I am that girl.<br />
I am a true, die hard, bleeding blue, true aggie.<br />
How you can tell?<br />
When you camp out in 30 degree weather in rain and snow, to receive a wrist band to be front<br />
row at a football game. Yup, I know I am crazy.<br />
Each year for the biggest games, our school has "camping on the quad".<br />
You camp out to get a wrist band to be let in 30 minutes earlier before most students.<br />
The game game was against BYU... I needed to be front row. <br />
But let me tell you... camping on the quad is so beyond fun.<br />
It is what makes me love this school just that much more.<br />
The quad is bigger than a football field... okay i think... don't hold me on that.<br />
But the whole quad is filled with tents, even teepee's this year haha<br />
And it is one big party the whole night. People are having hot chocolate, blasting music<br />
playing games, socializing. It's honestly is so fun, I would do it in 30 degree weather every night.<br />
Hannah is the man and got there early to put our tent at the very front so when the bell went off<br />
we would have a short run. So we had a nice little community of tents set up, and we jammed out to music, took pictures, enjoyed our hot chocolate and stayed warm.<br />
The basketball boys didn't need to camp out though...they are spoiled and already have reserved seats but they came out and partied before everyone attempted to go to bed.<br />
We crammed 12 people into a 6 man tent, that may sound miserable but it was oh so warm, I was not complaining one bit. Everyone had snuggle buddies... as for me and India... we had each other haha<br />
We all went to sleep at 2 am.. but some sneaksters every year put off a fake alarm telling everyone that it is time to get the wrist bands. So everyone wakes up for no reason to wait in a fake line, for nothing haha we fall for it every year.<br />
BUT when the actual bell goes off at 4 a.m imagine this...<br />
Hunger games.<br />
haha everyone is dead asleep and then all of a sudden bodies are standing straight up in a matter of a second sprinting off into some direction searching for the wrist bands. Then you are all packed into an area like sardines swaying back and forth to get to the front, to get your prized possession. It is intense stuff. Once you get the wristband it doesn't end there.<br />
You then have to get to scurry off to the gates so you can be in the front of the line ahead of all your fellow wristbaners. So this football game turns into a 24 hour event.<br />
I was waiting to get into that game since 9 pm to to 4 pm the next day.<br />
I braved the cold and had only two hours of sleep to get that beloved front row 50 yard line seat.<br />
Did I get it? Of course! If I wouldn't have.. someone would have been beat up. hahaha just kidding<br />
The game went... down hill, real real fast. It started with BYU getting a touchdown in the first 10 seconds... that is tragic. And then chuckie our star player got hurt and is out for the season now.<br />
People kept asking me if all my braving the cold and no sleep was worth it.<br />
I SAY HECK YEAH.<br />
No matter what, when you are on the front row 50 yard line, its worth it. Everyone is so into the game, chanting and screaming, and it is like you are front row at a concert. I loved every second of it.<br />
Will I do it again?<br />
Yes... why yes I will.<br />
