If We Meet Again, It will be ZION to me!

Though I've never had a sister, I have been blessed with amazing friends that have been like sisters to me. At BYU, I had the fortune of finding a group of girlfriends, whom I'd gladly call my sisters.

We had the opportunity this summer to meet up again and it was ZION to me! We reunited at my families house in Rockville and spent the hours reminiscing of earlier days and confiding about more recent experiences and challenges. For some the talk was pregnancy and parenting, while for other the dating scene was still the forefront of their lives. I loved talking with them all and was reminded how truly blessed I am have friends that are uplifting and make me a better person.

We explored some of the frontcountry hikes in ZION National Park like the Riverwalk and Weeping Rock. The scenery was beautiful and the fresh air was refreshing (though maybe a little hot).  More beautiful were the friendships that were renewed and strengthened. I love you all!

Yay for Zion's! I love the "good-bye" pic of all of us in our knee-length shorts. That's cute. :) Such a fun weekend, and yet it feels like it was so long ago. Just last Sunday we were at church together! Miss you all. :)

Aww...what fun! I am jealous and will continue to feel like I was there anyway. But I guess we'll see each other in June...right?!

Bree's Back and She's Better then Ever!

Bree and I have been friends for a while now. Our friendship began when we were roommates at BYU after meeting our freshmen years (over a decade ago!). She just returned home from serving a mission in Spokane, Washington and it had been a long time since I'd seen her. We've shared some fun times together over the years and I couldn't wait to see her again. * As a side note* I love Bree and think she's amazing. She can sing, play the guitar, piano and drums, and she writes her own songs (even has her own CD). She wrote me a song years ago! She's also amazing at any sports she plays, especially frisbee though. In addition to this, Bree is just so fun to hang out with. So Bree invited me to come up and join her for her first YSA dance after the mission. Since, I love YSA dances ( I actually can't stand them...i really just love Bree), I said I would go. So, after work on Friday, I dressed up and drove 2 hours up to York, PA. This dance had to be one of the most ...

I'm Worth a Grand More and Pounds Less

I did it!!! I went the whole year of 2008 without eating sugar! At the end of last year, my mom challenged anyone in my family to go the year without eating sugar. Now when I say "no sugar", I don't mean nothing. I mean no sweets, candy, cookies, etc. I ate fruits and other items with minimal sugar (for example - Cold cereals with 6 grams or less). I also had 3 days were i could "cheat". So what was my motivating factor? $1,000 and the thrill of a challenge . I'm not one to pass up a challenge or a dare. My mom offered to pay $1,000 to anyone that completed the challenge. Though most people thought I was crazy, I wanted to prove I could do it. During the first couple of months it was really hard to give up the enticing sweets and goodies offered to me on a daily basis. My dreams even began to manifest my desire to eat candy, as I was sneaking bites of candy and licks of lollipops all night. I'd wake up thinking I'd ruined the deal but then the rea...

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...
