The Journey Begins....

Wednesday was a bitter sweet day for me and my family. My little brother, Michael, went into the MTC. He'll be serving his mission in the Bolivia, Santa Cruz mission. I've never had to drop anyone off there and say goodbye for 2 years before, but oh my goodness, im glad he's the only boy!! I dont think i could be able to handle it again. I lost it when we sang Called To Serve and then everytime the speakers would remind us that shortly the missionaries would walk out one door and families out the other door. Im so proud of my little brother though. He was actually pretty lucky, he entered the MTC the same day, same time as one of our cousins, so we got to say goodbye to both of them! Atleast they had eachother for the first bit in the MTC, it made us feel better atleast! I'll miss him so much though, he's going to be a spoiled missionary with all his sisters and mom sending him stuff he probably wont even want :) Good luck Mike, I love you!
He's Offical!

Sunshine and Summertime

Summer and winter are my two favorite seasons, yes...one extreme to the other. Its FINALLY summer here in Utah and I'm loving every second of it. I saw on the news last Wednesday what the weather was going to be like and Saturday was supposed to be hot! So, last Saturday me and a group of friends all went to a water park in Provo called 7 peaks and then to a comedy club that's a lot like Who's Line is it Anyways? It was a blast. We decided it'd be fun to splurge a little because it was my friend Whitney's birthday the day before, so we didn't feel bad spending a little extra money :) Saturday turned out to be a very hot hot day, so it was the perfect solution to the hotness!!! Hope you had a great birthday Whit! I love ya!

Better Late Than Never

I know this post is a little late, but I figured it'd
make a good post for the few people who read my blog :) Around when school got out for the summer my friends, Ashley, Athena, and Whitney, and I all took a girls road trip to CALIFORNIA! It was a trip well needed since i spent most of my time in the anatomy lab! We drove to Anaheim where we stayed in a very questionable hotel, but we discovered our new favorite restaurant...bubba gumps! Inside of it is all about the movie Forest Gump and was decorated very cute! If you havent had the pleasure eating here, i highly recommend it!


We then went to the New Port Temple for a night just to walk around since it is one of my favorite temples and we were so close so we had to go! We went to huntington beach the next day and got very lucky cause the place was basically empty cause of bad weather, but we were from utah and we were determined to go to the beach, so we did! It actually turned out great! But the best part of the trip was the day at DISNEYLAND! Anyone who knows me can tell you i absolutely love theme parks, its just so hard not to have fun there! Anyways, here are a few pictures of the trip!
