It's been too long!

Hey everyone! Ok so I know it has been forever since I last posed anything. Sorry about that, my world has literally been turned upside down in ways I never imagined, but I'm hanging in there. So I have done some pretty fun traveling in the last few months and wanted to post some pictures on here. The first trip I took back in March over Spring Break to visit my cousin Jenny in Wisconsin! It was so much fun I love her and we had the best time together! We went fun places like the art and science museum, The Gig where her friend had a going away 80's party ( I loved getting all dressed up for that:) and then of course we had to try the famous fried cheese curds of Milwaukee! They were really good! Then I was super lucky about a month after returning from that trip my family got the chance to go to Maui, Hawaii! It was beautiful! I wish I could post all of the pictures I took but that would be like 200!! My aunt and uncle we so nice and let us go with them to there time share there and it was a much needed break from life! Somedays I still wish I was there:) We had so much fun in the sun! My cousins loved the sand, especially Olivia ( I love the picture of her playing). We also went snorkeling and I wished I had had an underwater camera the fish were so neat! Someday I want to go back there! So school is out now and it's a little weird being in between semesters but it's nice to have the free time. I have relearned how to crochet from my grandma and am currently working on a baby shawl that hopefully will be finished by the time I have my first! Good thing that is going to be awhile:) Oh and I almost forgot! I cut and colored my hair and I love it! I am going to keep it this dark for a while! Well I will keep you posted and more up to date on my crazy life:)

My 20th Birthday Party!

Hey so I finally have some fun pictures to post from my birthday party. It was actually a celebration of my brother kale's birthday too. He turned ten and I turned twenty! And yes I feel old! So we went down to Fairview where my aunt has a farm and up the mountain to a huge hill where we went skiing and sledding. It was a blast! Everyone made fun of me for how slow and cautious I was while skiing, but I think I am getting the hang of it:) Here are some of the pics...

Weight Watchers!

So I know, I know you are all thinking why is she doing weight watchers!? Well I am just trying to lose a few pounds before I go to Hawaii in April, but it is so hard! I am hungry all the time even though I feel like I eat less than a bird right now! Oh well, everyone says my body will adjust. I just hope it is soon:) Anyways random stuff I know but I need all the support I can get I guess.

Happy Birthday!

So yesterday was my birthday and it was an interesting birthday...I turned 20! And I feel so old because on my birthday I had to work and go to school...Boring!! I miss the days when I actually had time to celebrate turning one year older. But my family will celebrate with me in a few weekends so I will have pictures then I promise:)

Fun Shopping!

Wow what a crazy weekend!...But amid the craziness of taking care of my unlce's father and their dog while they were in Arizona, spending Valentine's day single, and trying to mend some family relationships, I still found time to have a little fun:) Today I went with my friend Beth and her mom and my mom to Park City and shopped until I dropped! It was awesome!! I found the cutest jacket and some other really good deals! I would put a picture on here of the jacket if my camera was working...grr! Anyways it was a really good day today and something I have needed for a long time! thanks bethie!! I'm hoping for the best for tomorrow:)

Losing a Friend

Losing a friend is perhaps one of the hardest things to go through in this life! It is especially hard when you are left with no other option and you have exhausted yourself trying to make things work out. You cry yourself to sleep so many nights and then you wake up one morning and realize that life has to move on. I'm sorry to say I have recently been through this and would appreciate any words of advice anyone can give me. Thank you.

Trust

Trust is a hard thing to earn and an easy thing to lose. Gaining that trust back once it is gone seems nearly impossible. I am a trusting person and I wish to stay that way, but some things in my life have happened lately that have made me doubt that I can do that. Letting someone back in once they have betrayed your trust, or simply ignoring the fact that you know something someone doesn't think you do is so so hard. I want to trust all of my friends and family, but for now I'm just going to trust in the Lord.
