Live & Love Always

I love my life. Can I just tell you how much I love SUU, my wonderful friends, my lovely family, and everything about my life? Yeah, life can be stressful and annoying sometimes but ya just gotta count your blessings and then your spirits will be lifted and you'll realize how great life really is!

My beautiful sister Kambry came friday night to live a little bit of the college life and then we drove down to St. George the next day for our cousin's wedding.

Friday night we had TONS of fun! We went to the institute opening social (50s dinner & dance).

We saw lots of friends and enjoyed eachother's company:)

We missed Tiana though, that's for sure! She went home for the weekend.

This is a picture of all my cute friends that I love sooo much!

Left to right: Chantel, Mekenzie, Alyssa, my sister Kambry, Me, Abby, & my roomie Fenja.

  While at the dance, some of our friends taught us how to do swing dance flips and stuff. It was crazy cool! I loved having Kambry here. She's so great. Later that night we went to Park Discovery to meet up with a bunch of people to play night games but I ended up hitting my head WAY hard on the slide so our night ended early. We went back to our friends' house (the taco boys, [aka the boys who invited us to "taco night" one night and now they're like our best friends! {Spencer Budd, Joey Cardenas, Brian Cameron, & Bryce Johnson}]) and anyways, they all took such good care of me. They made sure I didn't fall asleep in case I had a concussion and they iced my head and gave me medicine. I hardly remember that night... :\ but I guess I was extremely goofy.

I always hit my head though! I'm so surprised that I don't have brain damage.. seriously.

This is Alyssa, Ryan, me, & Kambry while we were dancing the night away.

 Well as you all know, I ran in the Homecoming Pageant (Miss SUU) and wow it was a fantastic experience! It definitely kept me busy but it was worth it. I had tons of fun and I made some new friends. It was definitely a learning and growing experience-- just as I had imagined. I will have to post some more pictures later when I get them.

These are all the contestants.

This is me and Ryan backstage.

 Tanner McAllister drove down just for the pageant. He's one of my best friends. Gotta love him!

This is sweet Kylee G. Cyd, me, and my lovely Tiana!

These are the taco boys! Minus Bryce. Joey, Brian, me, & Budd :)

They're so fun to be with and they're incredible people. I can't help but just love'm to death.

 I have THE greatest people in my life!!! In this picture are my ex-roomies, the taco boys, my new roomies, old friends, and new friends. I love them all so much.

AND!!! Let's not forget to mention the BEST part of all...

My sweet mother, aunt Summer, grandma Micki, Kambry, Emmie, & Kinsley all came down for the pageant too!!! But I don't have any of their pictures yet. But it was the best thing ever to have them down. I have the best family and support in the entire world. I couldn't be more blessed.. seriously.

We partied at Krave with some frozen yogurt after the pageant.

Can you see why I love my life?

Oh, and I haven't gotten very good sleep lately and I've been so busy that I think I've kinda made myself sick so yesterday I woke up from a short nap to Tiana telling me that I had flowers delivered to me! Red gerber daisies with a note that said "Good Luck, Love your family" WOW what a fantastic surprise!!!

So I was telling my friend Budd that I received flowers from my family today and that I'd never received flowers before and he just kinda smiled...

Well later that night after Krave, a bunch of us went to the taco boys' house and played some games. Budd told me that he had something for me. Come to find out that he had got me flowers too! Five pink roses! Holy moly... I was so happy.

So you see... life is good.

And life can be good for everyone!! Especially if you
