{Gobbled} Up This Sale

Happy Thanksgiving to me.... Seriously take advantage of this SALE

{Kreativ Blogger}

So my sassy little Danielle nominated me as a Kreativ Blogger...fancy smancy. I love and I miss Dani she rocks and I'm so thankful for her and the opportunity to have become friends with her this past year. I wear my hair in a fro because of her. I want to be like her when I grow up.

1. Copy the pretty picture and post it on your blog. (coming soon.)
2. Thank the wonderful person that nominated you and link their blog.
3. Write 7 things about yourself we don't know. (you all probably know this stuff anyway but here we go...)

1. I have an obsession with headbands, 95% of the time, if you see I will be wearing one. Just look at my pics from previous posts it's a little excessive. They are so stinkin cute thought and they make my crazy curls look somewhat decent.

2. I love love love sports but don't even think of asking me to play them, it's a tragedy, I'm just a hot mess. I'm just not very competitive (except for card games previous post) so I think that's why I have a hard time. There is no such thing as a friendly game of volleyball. One of my favorite things to do, especially on dates, is going to sporting events!

3. In another life I want to be a backup singer or a writer...random I know

4. I love Utah don't get me wrong but California how I love you. I love the vibe, the poeple, the endless inspiration. It's all so beautiful

5. I fall for guys in bands (expcept for Neil Diamond). I don't know what is but whooeee..This guy and that guy...I'm in awe. It's pathetic really but come on can you blame me.

6. I will own a real Chanel item one day....enough said.

7. I have a guilty pleasure for Lifetime movies, love 'em


For my nominations:
Amy- my confidant
Cambria- super duper stylish
Aubrey- one who I can laugh with till I stop breathing

{Spoons}

Last friday night my singles ward went up to a cabin for a leadership planning meeting and oh my heavens...so fun! We planned next years activities and broke out some sweet card games. I never get competitive expect for card games I go bananas. I have an incredibly huge bruise on my thigh from playing spoons, I just had my eye on the prize:) Here are some pics I stole from my ward blog (thanks terry lynn)

{Happy} Halloween

October was such a fun month but holy smokes it went by super fast. I went to Thriller, a tradition for the past 6 years with my besties, and Halloween was pretty fun this year too. I was a paper doll this year, it was a little rough to sit down but other than that, it was probably my favorite costume that I have done:)

Last Saturday Amy and I took our mom's down to the General Relief Society Conference! It was so fun to spend time with my mom and listen to the General Relief Society Presidency. I just loved every minute of it and I just feel better about where I am in my life right now and I just need to keep progressing, because Heavenly Father can't drive a parked car:) Anyway I encourage all you to read the talks that were given and just know that our Heavenly Father loves us and so many great things are in store for each of us, a simple thought but one that I have to tell myself everyday!

lava hot springs. left thursday night. packed kara's truck to the max. made 502 pit stops. stopped at creepy idaho bathrooms. arrived at lava super hyper. wind storms knocked everyone's tent down. froze the first night. soaked up the sun at the pool. sunburned. got "dare to square" ice cream. nap time. fireside. bag o' skits. died laughing. good girl talk with kara, amy, and lindsey. awesome nights sleep. poured all night. packed it up. slept the entire way home. showered and felt like a girl again. may not sound very exciting but it truly was an epic weekend:))))
{i only had my camera for the first half of the trip so you get jipped on the skits and other adventures}

{Finally}......

I'm starting beauty school in September!!! I'm going to Fran Brown Marinello School of Beauty. I will be in the Master Esthetician program and I'm so stoked. I'm going to learning things from lash extensions to chemical peels. I finally feel like my life is progressing in the right direction and I couldn't have done it without the support of so many...you know who you are. When I'm done with this program in a year, I'm going to take an advanced 2 week makeup course at Taylor Andrews:) I'm excited and I will probably need people to practice on while I'm at school so let me know if your interested:))))

A {Gift}

So I watched this show on MTV called '16 and pregnant' and I'm sure a lot of you may have seen it as well. One particular episode focused on a young couple that decided to put their baby girl up for adoption and an absolute darling couple was blessed with a baby due to a courageous decision. I just sobbed because it made me think of my birth mother and the courageous decision she made 24 years ago. A lot of you probably do know that I was adopted and I have been so very, very grateful for this experience. My birth mother was 19 when she had me, when my birth father found out she was pregnant he left her, so she had to go through this alone. My family got a call and they jumped at the opportunity and flew to California to pick me up when I was two days old. It was a private adoption so I have never met my birth mother but oh my goodness she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I hope to meet her one day to tell her thank you for the life I have now. My family is absolutely incredible and I couldn't imagine my life without my mom, dad, and sweet sister Nicole. I was able to be sealed to them when I was 6 months old and because of it, my knowledge and testimony of the temple and this gospel has progressed tremendously. I just felt compelled to share this:)


The day I was sealed to my family (dad is taking the pic)and excuse the faux hawk


In front of the hospital I was born in California

Happy Birthday {Mom}

i love you mom!!!!!

{Roxy} Girl....

Okay so I hope this doesn't come across mean or anything like that so don't be a hater, it was just an observation that I feel I need to express, it's a pet peeve really. So the Roxy line really is cute and all, don't get me wrong, but seriously it just seems a little over the top in Utah. There really isn't a need to stick every Roxy sticker ever made all over your honda, let me guess you have Utah hair too. Does anybody else find it a little excessive?

Whoa....sorry about the neglect of my blog, you deserve an update so here you go! Well this has been what's up in the last month or so.... I went 80s dancing with Cambria, Aubrey, Andee, and Cassie and oh what a fantastic (I think that would be an appropriate word) evening. I went to a few concerts with my friends Cambria and Marie. I got to see: New Found Glory, Bayside, Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station, and Hey Monday. I don't know what it is with guys that are in bands but I fall for them everytime:) It is definitely summer and what better way to celebrate than a Bees Game and I went to Tepanyaki for the first time, throughly enjoyed it. I have been busy along with my cricut machine making invitations and cards for some bridal showers, I have a feeling I will have some baby showers coming up soon, Yay! The day finally came to go see Wicked, I bought my ticket last year, so my little heart was full of joy when I went, I can't describe the pure excitement that I felt:) In between all the craziness I have been enjoying myself at bonfires, sushi nights at shogun, going to the temple once a week to keep a perspective, and I have gone on some fun dates. Now that I have bored you, here are some pics for your enjoyment.
