Adventures with Jackie :)



So, this is me with my cousin Jackie :)




In the past week we have gone shopping at the mall with maddi and holly, tried on crazy clothes, In Jackies case..BOUGHT them..(genie pants...'nuff said) gone to the sunflower market to buy groceries, made waffles, went shopping AGAIN, went to the sunflower market AGAIN to buy groceries for "sugar cookies". then attempted to make them with no measuring cups, spoons, baking sheets, or spatulas, while skyping two of our friends. gone to the BYU creamery 5 minutes before it closed to buy emergency ingredients, started watching Tangled at 1 in the morning, and then both fell asleep before the witch was done singing about "mother knowing best." Woke up at 11 in the morning, hung out all day on BYU campus in her apartment, met up with my AMAZING friend Tyler Griffin, met his roommates, played uno and pig, went to In n' Out, met HER roommates, went to a party for her apartment complex, then ended up on a piano while I played and Jackie, Tyler, Cherilyn and others sang hymns for a good hour.



Yeah, We're cool :)




Some pictures we took a couple of years ago that I LOVE! <3

Missing Friends...



Well, Its happened. last night I said goodbye to some of my best friends, and this morning they packed up their cars and drove off to start their own adventures. I'm SO excited for them, and I'm so excited to follow in their footsteps in a couple of weeks, but its still hard to see them go. :(



Love you guys!!!!!!! "Its not goodbye, just..see you later" :)

Me+Blog=???

So. there I was, staring at my journal, trying to muster up the strength that it would take to open it and try to catch up on, well, everything! when an idea popped into my head. "start a blog!" what?? the idea seemed a little crazy at first(who would want to read a blog I wrote?!) but days passed, and the more i thought about it, the more it seemed like a good idea.
"Who cares if anyone actually reads its!" I thought. But maybe now if I have a place to record random happenings, crazy adventures, and other such things I won't feel as guilty for not writing in my journal as much as I should. (plus..I'm on my laptop WAY more then I should be, why not do something productive?)
so.....here I am! Hopefully ya'll have seen the movie UP and understand the "adventure book" reference, but for those poor souls who haven't..enjoy this explanation :)
