things I NEED to remember...

i miss my LOOOONG hair

i know it's a little late since i cut my hair back in january, but for the past few weeks i've just missed my long hair so much. it's so weird. it's not like i don't like my hair short, but my long hair was fun. or maybe i'm just getting into my "change" phase. i think i'll do some carmel highlights in 2 weeks. nice change for summer. and as for the long hair...i'll have to just wait for it to grow. :-)

Longboarding has BEGUN........

just got home from work...
Our "husband" Brady. Ha.
I'm Gangsta. On our way to Provo Canyon.
And we're going to head off.
Oops. I'm falling.

Riding out of the picture.

i LOVE LONGBOARDING!!! The other night i got home from work around 10pm & Erika, Jess, & Brady were all hanging out. And suddenly the idea popped into our minds to go longboard down the canyon! So off we were @ 11 to Provo Canyon. It was so much fun. Not to cold & just very relaxing & fun.

Wiggin Out!!!

Rockstar & the Girl...
Single & Ready to Mingle!!!
Kt & Me...When we're 50!!
This is us when we're older & all moms. The Golden Girls. HAHAHA.


The Story:
Wow. Yesterday Kt, Talli, & I went to my mom's to visit. And way back in the day my mom had gotten a very bad hair cut & bought a bunch of wigs to wear till it grew out! These are the wigs & we had so much fun trying them on. It was hilarious. Lots of laughs.

Shara tagged me...so here we go....

What were you doing ten years ago?

I was 11 (and a half!) yrs. old & in 6th grade. I was still in Elementry cause of the crazy way the Utah school system does things....I was very short ( no surprise) & my best friend was Allie Branscomb. Pretty sure I dressed horribly. Wore Doc Martens till I lost one in the snow. Ha. I still secretly LOVED Barbies & American Girl Dolls. I played soccer & my boyfriend was Corbin McCabe....we'd been together since 4th grade. HaHa. I couldn't wait till I turned 12 so I could finally go into Young Womens & shop in the young misses department.

What were you doing five years ago?

I was 16 & in my junior year @ Lone Peak High School. I had started dating Dan Macdonald (my first love) & we dated for over a year. My best friends were Jena & Bethany. Loved those girls! My favorite classes were Painting & Creative writing. My favorite teacher was my art teacher Mrs. Shepherd. We'd joke that she was my aunt. I was working my first job at ColdStone Creamery. It was the BEST job ever! I was driving but didn't have my own car. I loved buying little boy t-shirts from D.I. Still was short, I think that's when I stopped growing.


Five things on my to-do list today:

1. Do good on my cleanse.
2. Drink LOTS of water.
3. Work Out
4. Talk to mom about bills
5. Go talk to GM @ Winger's

What snacks I enjoy:

What don't I love?! My family is a total snacker kind. I love chips & salsa, actually any kind of chips. I love salty snacks! Nachos. Peanut butter cups. CORN NUTS!

What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?

Pay off all my bills. Buy a nice car. And go on a 3 month sunny & beachy vacation!

Three bad habits?

1. Bite my nails like there's no tomorrow.
2. Can get really impatient sometimes.
3. .....Can't think....

Five places I've lived:

1. Camino, Ca
2. Alpine, Ut
3. Cedar Hills, Ut
4. Vista, Ca
5. Orem, Ut

Five jobs I've had:

1. ColdStone Creamery
2. Wal-Mart
3. Winger's
4. Accounting Options

Five things you don't know about me:

1. I have weird OCD moments
2. I like routines. And once I have one it's really hard to break it.
3. I have Scoliois.
4. I sing ALL the time...by myself.
5. Sometimes when I drive I make up a storyline in my head & pretend I'm in a Movie. Ha.

TAG..you're it! *which means I TAG...Brittani & Jayni

St. George Weekend Road Trip

On our Way!

Checking out Dixie Rock

The "Crack"-Yes there are people.

Beautiful St. George Temple

Brady & Jess- We're Bunny Huntin'.

Pretty Sunset.

Casey & I goofing around. Where's the Bunnies?

~*~A few weeks ago my friends & I went down to St. George for the weekend. We had a lot of fun. We drove down friday afternoon & encountered some crazy weather along the way. Once arriving we me up with Brady's sister Brielle & some other friends & had ourselves an INTENSE game of Spoons. We also checked out Dixie Rock & "The Crack"...pretty cool but I am way to clausterphobic to do it. We also went bunny huntin'...but didn't really find any. :-( It was still a lot of fun. We also went swimming & bowling as well. Once Sunday rolled around we had a nice bar-b-que & then headed back up to good 'ol Orem. Fun times!

& that's FINAL....

Wow. The divorce was finalized March 4th.
I am officially Single....

People are saying congrats...& that's how it should be.
I do have a mixture of feelings however.

I am...Relieved - This has been stressing me out a little. I have felt like I was never married in the first place for awhile.I stopped being married as soon as I left in my mind. So it's nice that it's real.

I am...Sad - Even though I know it's for the best & it was the right choice it's still a sad moment for me. My marriage is over. I can't help but feel like I failed in some ways. It hurts. I do have some good memories & I will never forget them.

I am...Excited - To be moving forward with my life. Yes I am 21 & divorced. But I am 21 & still able to start over fresh. I can go back to school. I still have time to do some amazing things with my life. And this has not scared me away from Love & Marriage. I do want to fall in love & get married again (hopefully before I'm 25-haha). I have my whole life in front of me!

To Will - I loved you! Even though our marriage didn't work out, I still think of you as one of my best friends. You knew the real me & you always knew how to make me laugh. You will have have a piece of my heart. Always.

To Myself - I know the last 6-8 months have been some of the hardest we've ever endured. We cried, we hurt, and felt so low. This was a lesson learned. & everything happens for a reason. For the future we know who & what to look for. This has been a true test & what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I love you!
