Memorial Day Weekend!

Omaha bound tomorrow everyone! Can you say I am a little excited? Excitement is definitely an understatement! I have not seen my sister and her family in a year! Yes I am super excited!

Well my family came to see me this last weekend. It was awesome being able to see my mom, dad, and little sister. They came and not only graciously moved all my things home, but they also came and spent the long weekend with me and my aunt. The weekend consisted of relaxing and watching movies (The Iron Lady and Joyful Noise) and having some quality time with the fam. It was a lot of fun to see them. I will see them in about 2 weeks and so sadly I don't really miss them right now. Hehe:) Sorry family, but I will see you soon along with a few others:)

So I was sitting here watching an episode of one of my favorite TV shows (Law and Order SVU) since I am stuck in the house with no car today and I was thinking about how awesome/scary it would be to be a cop. With my dad being a fireman and my uncle being a cop for most of their lives it has always been in the back of my mind to have a career like that. How cool it would be, but then again I think about how scared and afraid I would be to have to face criminals and such. If I truly would be willing to put my life on the line for someone? I mean of course I would do anything for my family no doubt or question about it, but sometimes it is different in other situations. That's why I am so grateful for Memorial Day. It is a day that I will always remember because it gives me the chance to think about everyone that has willingly given their lives for our freedom. What an amazing group of people to look up to. How blessed we are. We need to all have this thought of appreciation for those that have served for our country. We owe it to them for their courage and bravery! Please take a moment to really think about those that have fought for our freedom.

Yay:)

So first of all friends I have some bittersweet/exciting news!

Next Saturday (hopefully) I am officially moving back home to Idaho Falls! I will definitely say that I am excited to go home, yet I am sad I have to leave my home here in Utah! It has definitely been a long and eventful run these last 9 months. It has been rewarding and fun to live here!

Some highlights:
First of all dancing with ODT! What a blessing it was to dance with these amazing artists!
Being able to do Thriller and Romeo and Juliet was so great and definitely an item I can check off my list
Being in such an amazing singles ward with some many great and inspiring new friends
Making new friends that make me smile and laugh
Being able to share my talent with my students at The Pointe and Center Stage
And being able to grow closer to my Aunt Nancy:)

What a blessing it has been to be down here! I have learned so much! It is sad leaving my friends and students, but I know it is the right thing in my life right now! I am excited to go home and start fresh with a new teaching job, school, friends, and atmosphere!

Now time for my summer bucket list

Unlimited camping and fishing trips with my DADDY!
Unlimited movie premieres with my best friend Melanie
Training for my first 5K in the future
Completing my first semester of college
Spending time with my older sister and my two nieces (cause she lives in Omaha)

And lots more that I can't seem to think up:)

Have a great Wednesday everyone!:)

Summer Is Approaching!

Hello Friends

How is everyone's Saturday going? I hope great! Well I woke up this morning to a great flat tire on my car ONCE AGAIN! I don't know what it is, but this is the third time this has happened to me in the passed two months! I don't know what it is; I don't know if it is my car tires or maybe it's the road I live on that I drive everyday, but something is definitely not right! Luckily the people at Johnson Tire are really good friends with my aunt and so I haven't had to pay for the last two visits! SHHH! They are so nice and helpful down there and I am so appreciative of them! Thank You!!:) Save me some money!:)

Well I have some exciting/bittersweet news! The exciting thing is is I am moving home in about 3 weeks! I cannot wait to get home! The bittersweet moment is the fact that I have to leave my home here in Utah! I have had an amazing expericen down here and I am definitely going to miss it! Especially living with Nancy! She is honestly the best aunt ever! She took me under her wing and helped me a lot! I have had a blast living with her! I am going to miss her so much! Thank you Nancy!:) You rock!

As for summer approaching I am so excited to get home and spend some quality time with my family and friends! Camping and fishing with my dad!:) And quality time with my best friend Melanie! I miss her like crazy! We talk every single week and text each other on a daily basis and I love it! Last call time to Melanie was 1:43:22! We could seriously talk to each other for hours on end! I love that girl!:) Also my sister is coming home from Nebraska! I could not be more excited to see her and my two little nieces! I haven't seen them in almost a whole year and Emma and Lucy are soooo grown up! I cannot believe it! I am so excited to see them! Ahh I cannot tell you how excited I am! She is coming for the WHOLE month of July! YEAH!! On the same note as my sister I have to congratulate my brother-in-law on graduating law school! Way to go Justin! You da man! We are all so proud and because of your smart-aleck personality you will make one great attorney!:)

(How cute are these pumpkins! I cannot wait to see them)

anyway I am so happy to be starting a new adventure soon! Updates to come!
