16 DAYS PEOPLE!!!

Only 16 more days till Haile, Mom, and I are on our way to the

CARIBBEAN!!!

I am soooooo excited.

I have never been out of the country, never really been anywhere!

I've only been to a couple states (all in the west side of the country).

We leave for Miami on May 2nd & come home May 10th.

I am very much looking forward to my summer tan...laying on beautiful beaches soaking up the sun, and playing in the water.

And I promise to take LOADS of pictures.

Now all I got to do is buy my swimsuit, floppy hat, and my sunglasses.

Caribbean....HERE I COME!

enter the wonderful world of ME.

"Until you've faced

all the mistakes you've made,
You'll never change."

I'm starting over.
Everyone reaches a breaking point....the fork in the road,
where you have to choose which path you're going to continue on,
the person you want to be.
The decision to be happy.
To stay positive through all life's challenges.
It's never easy, I have learned this the hard way.
I never thought I'd be the girl I've become.
I want more.
I deserve more.
It's time to stop using being young as an excuse to not grow up.
Everyone has different trials, different pains & heartache.
The last 4 years of my life have had many ups and downs.
I never imagine my life would go the way it has,
and I have no one to blame but myself.

I want to be happy.
To be content with the life I am living.
To love the girl I am.

Today is another day to strive to be her.
Its never to late to start over.
Thank goodness for that.

January 4th, 2009

My cousin Shara had her second baby & she's just as beautiful as the FIRST!

We are all SO excited...we've needed another new baby in the family.

Kaylee obviously LOVES her new little "sissy".
The girls are only 20 months apart!

I am so happy for the Pack family...I love you all.

We welcome and love this new, sweet, precious baby girl!

I cannot believe Shara is a mother of 2 now!

A New Year!

Wow...2009! I cannot believe it.
Soooooooo many changes have occured.
My life this time last year was so uncertain.
I was getting divorced, about to move in with my awesome girl friends, settling back into Utah life, dealing with the horrible snow, etc.

Now looking back it was such an amazing year. I changed so much, went through so many great, and not so great, experiences.

My summer was a blast...I got to do so much.
I longboarded the Provo canyon pretty much every night with my friends, went boating, got SUPER TAN, got to go visit my San Diego friends TWICE, experienced one of my best friends getting married! And went to Vegas for Erika's 21st.

The fall was great too. I moved to Alpine which has been a good change for me. I was Maid of Honor (again) for my friends Jimmy & Kara's Big Wedding.

Most of all I'm grateful for all those people who were a constant in my life this past year...my family and my friends. I would have never survived if it hadn't been for them.

I look forward to 2009...another great year full of life & surprises!!
