Fall :)

My very talented friend and roommate Brittany is a nice little photographer. I have been begging her since I got my little boy Duke for her to do a shoot with the two of us. These are just a few of my favorites! You can check out the rest on facebook. They turned out great! I cannot wait to get a few printed and framed!
Thanks again Brittany, you are wonderful!
Duke- well he wasn't very focused!



I know you are all wondering... YES I got extensions! I absolutely love them.

The BIG 2.1.

My friends and roommates through me a Suprise "Mocktail" Party. A mocktail is a Morman version of a cocktail party. Which means there was no achohol! We had a wonderful classy event held at our home. Many friends stopped by to help me celebrate. I cannot believe I'm 21 now! Yay I feel so cool. People ask me do I feel different? On my bday NO I didn't. But I can honestly say right now I do feel different and over the past week I have felt like somethings changed. I am very excited that I am not a teen anymore- I am officially an adult. I cannot wait to go and get my NEW LICENSE! That will be exciting and yes I am currently driving with an expired license... Am I going to get in trouble for that?
Here are some photos from the event. This 1st photo is my favorite from that night. I was having so much fun and this photo looks like I was drinking things I shouldn't be but no they we are clean and pure!

Halloween 2010

This year for halloween I really wanted to be a Flight Attendant.
WELL... Monday (before halloween) while at work I was looking online at past photos of celebrities and their costumes and came across THIS >

I then AT THAT MOMENT decided that I was going to be a "beautiful" Peacock for halloween. I then drove around all night and made 8 different stops trying to gather my costume. I made my costume myself and it was SO MUCH FUN! All I needed was: a tutu, lots of feathers, and some tights!

All week we had Halloween parties and I had the chance to volunteer at The Nightmare express. SO I got to dress up EVERY day of the week. Tuesday night was our Ward Halloween Party and I won "Halloween Queen" for my Creative Peacock Costume which gave me bragging rights for a year. :) Friday at work we were allowed to wear a costume. And I was so excited because it was the first time I was actually ALLOWED to dress up to work. I took advantage of this opportunity and wore my WW costume. They had a Costume Contest- which I had no idea they were doing. I just wanted to wear my costume. Out of about 10 people I won "Best Costume" which scored me two tickets to Lagoon! Woo-hoo I was happy about that!

My little Wonder Woman Twin!

Happy LATE Halloween and I look forward to planning a costume next year!

Conference :)




*All these photos were taken from my iphone.

I absolutely loved this past weekend. I hoped you enjoyed conference as much as I did! It was very eventful. We had breakfast Saturday morning made specially by the Elders Quorum- where we watched both sessions. Then all the ladies went out to dinner- yum!
On Sunday my roommate Brittany & I made our way up to slc to wait in the standby line for the second Sunday session. We got there very late and so we didn't get in BUT we still enjoy being on temple square. And got to watch conference in the tabernacle which was just as fun and meaningful. I am so impressed with this church and how organized it is. Don't you think?
I have a confession- I wish it was another day longer because I am still craving more!
I hope you had a glorious weekend listening to conference-

DUKE

BFF= BEST FURRY FRIEND
A few weeks ago my friend/roommate and I bought puppies! They are both Jack Russell Terriers & Chihuahua mix. Aka Jackhuahua's. They are both boys and they are brothers.

I LOVE him! My new best friend.
My friend/roommate bought a puppy too :). His name is Ryder!
Here they are spooning ha ha... adorable huh?
My inspiration for naming him Duke:

First is Duke University
Second is from the movie "She's the Man".
The main characters name is Duke!

Meet Betsy the Beetle

Remember when I was looking for a car? Well I found one (almost a year ago). But that shows just how great I have been @ blogging. It is ever girls dream to purchase a bug! Don't you think? Well I know because I have wanted one for years. I found this keeper online and I feel so lucky that I did. It's a manual BUT I am happy to say that I have finally learned how to successfully drive a stick!
This past summer the girls (Abby + Afton) and I decided it was time to wash my bug. Considering I drove it to Texas & back and the many storms & bugs I had experienced.

This is sweet little Afton helping us wash the car!



I love this little car.. It was such a good deal! It's a '99 and I bought it for only $2,500! :) I'm very excited about that-

I'm baaaack

Hello everyone...

I have been meaning to blog for days now. It has been almost a year since I have blogged. The reason why I haven't been blogging is because I thought there was nothing exciting happening in my life at all.. You know like no husband, no kiddos, no offers to be on broadway or anything. But you know that idea is just silly! When I think back to the last 10 months of my life (I haven't blogged since my 20th b-day) there has been so many exciting and wonderful things that have happened. Sadly I cannot go back and explain every interesting or funny event that has happened BUT I am starting fresh today! I promise-

My summer adventures so far:
Ponderosa Resort in Zions National Park
Island Park near Yellowstone
A week in Orange County, CA with Grammy

Here's a quick recap of what's happening in my life right now:
I'm on my fourth job this summer- it sure has been a rocky summer. I currently work at a call center. Some days are long and I mostly speak to people who are idiots. I am still also working at downeast outfitters. I love being back there! It feels so nice. I have come to the realization that Retail Sales is where I belong :). Which is exciting because I really would like to start my own Interior Decor Store in the future.

I still live in Provo in an adorable OLD, blue house with 5 other ladies. Next week school will be starting for everyone else (I made the decision to take the semester off and work and SAVE lots of mula). So school starts next week and FOUR new roomates will be moving in. I'm so excited for fresh ladies and a new feel to our house. It's very exciting. Currently I am working many long hours in our "yard" and I feel like after work all I do is clean and organize. It's a big house- 2 stories. I am currently trying to decorate this place. My mission is to make our main floor feel more like a home and put together. It's a big project really when you have NO budget for it. I'm on the hunt at yard sales and D.I. :) If anyone has any thing they are getting rid of PLEASE contact me and let me know- Mirrors, frames, old furniture, etc!

I'm single- as single as one can be. Which is fine- I'm still a baby and I am in no hurry to find Mr. Right. Hmm yes that's all I really need to say anout that subject :) I'm very excited for the next couple of months coming up. I absolutely LOVE the fall & winter seasons.. Cannot wait for the snow and the winter wardrobe! That is all that I have to say today- look forward to seeing me blog more often now. It feels oh so good to be back- Love you all!

*Special thanks goes out to Aunt Melanie for reminding me that it's time to blog!
