Time

My life has changed a whole lot in the passed couple of months. In good ways of course. But it still is change.I usually hate change. But this is different. This is a necessary change that was hard at first, but now has become what I love.Except before I could post anything about my current way of life, I had to reminisce a bit. I wanted to try to remember the amazing memories I have of the passed 3 or so months. So here it is in a nut shell :)

I…

graduated High School!!!


And Seminary!! (barely) ;) HA.


Spent an amazing week in Cali with the fam ♥
Danced like there was no tomorrow at Purple and White.

Made friends with these thugs and actually miss them!

Went to the top of inspiration point and enjoyed a breathtaking view on a hot summer night.
had Mark push me around in a wheelchair because my legs were sore from a workout. Ha and he did it willingly! (well kinda) he was pretty embarrassed by the weird looks we got. Love it.
Tried many attempts at a front flip off the diving board. Sadly, it just wasn't enough.
Camped out in Shani's tent multiple times. I'm going to miss these girls. And our all night talks.
Spent a wonderful weekend - just me and my grandparents. I love them more than they could ever know.
Enjoyed being around my wonderful sisters and their adorable babes.

Watched the summer sun fall our of sight from my favorite place at the top of the slide.aww
Grew extremely close to these chicas and dreaded seeing them leave.
watched granny and gramps play and sing like pros.
Enjoyed a rope swing! without even falling in the pond.
Sat and watched sunsets like this and wondered how life could get better.♥
Spent plenty of quality times with my sweet nieces and nephew.

Ha enjoyed time with my mini twin! :)
Enjoyed the wind in my hair as we cruised in the Corvette on a perfect summer night.

Really realized how much my parents do for me. and how hard it is to leave such a wonderful home for the first time.
Grew super close to all of my co-workers.
Took many late night dips and discoverd my partner in crime Tori! She is like my sister- we had some pretty crazy adventures this summer. Enough said.
Went to Raging Waters!
Enjoyed evenings like this after a day blistering in the sun.
Made a "Legit" Blueberry pie with the "master chef". pssh.
Decided I want to drive one of these!
ha ha this is basically us :)
Enjoyed the 24th of July with the Family in Wyoming.
Spent an evening up at Girls Camp and realized how lucky I was to know these amazing girls.

Swung on the swing set countless times.
Realized how much of a stud my little bro is. He seriously can make anyone laugh. It frightens me that girls already "love" him.

Jumped on the tramp after the sun went down.
Loved getting to see my sisters so often. (minus the fact Cam already left) :(
Ha discovered my own niece was born to be a DUCK! :)
Watched the bountiful temple as the sun turned orange.
Ahh! Enjoyed the fireworks while laying in the deep end of the Pool with my favorite people in the world. The Best.
Honestly enjoyed being at the pool all day more than ever.




Took more hikes to watch the sun-set than i can even count. (His cheeks are MASSIVE) haha
Let Mark use my camera to take amazing pictures like this

Went on motorcycle rides regularly. (good thing mark is a pro) :)Ha tried to ride this bad boy. Sadly, I tipped it over and broke the gear shift before my lesson 2 was even over. ha ha next summer for sure.
teased Mark ruthlessly. Sadly, 2 can play that game :)

Here's to a summer full of nights I never wanted to end. People I will never forget. Sunny days that taught me time moves too fast.Adventures that made me realize how insane life really is.
I Eventually had to say goodbye.Until next year.♥

An Adult ;)

WOOOOO! That's right. I'm officially an A-dult. Time for the mysterious, mature, sophisticated me to come out... HA never gonna happen ;) And I'm perfectly ok with that! Not gonna lie I was having my doubts about turning 18 but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be wonderful.

You're gonna miss this

So Basically heard this song on the radio and almost broke down in tears right there. I have 5 more days of being 17 really am not quite ready for it to be over :( I thought I would be jumping for joy when my 18th birthday came but now that it's almost here, it's not quite like that. Growing up isn't all that it's cracked up to be.. well at least not Yet. :)

You're gonna miss this-Trace Adkins

She was staring out that window, of that SUV

Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18

She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules

Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school

Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you


-Chorus-
You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this



Before she knows it she's a brand new bride

In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by

He tells her It's a nice place

She says It'll do for now

Starts talking about babies and buying a house

Daddy shakes his head and says Baby, just slow down


-Chorus-
You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this


Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater

Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'

One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'

She keeps apologizin'

He says They don't bother me.

I've got 2 babies of my own.

One's 36, one's 23.
Huh, it's hard to believe, but ...


-Chorus-
You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

You're gonna miss this

Yeah, you're gonna miss this

A little Life :)

I Love that my dad is my boss & buys me animal crackers. :)


I Love Denny's at midnight on a Sunday night
I Love that my mom still takes care of me, even though I'm almost 18. :)
