California Adventures.

Spring Break.
I've had the most work load I have ever had in one semester in college this year. So spring break was definitely a NEED. Tyler, Nels, Kenzie, and me went to California for the week! It was a week full of adventures and experiences.

We started off the trip getting pulled over at 4am in St. George on our way to Cali. Ty got his first ticket. Minutes after, we RAMMED into a deer lying in the middle of the road. There was a semi in the lane next to us so we were unable to move out of the lane we were in. We hit the dead deer so hard we were AIRBORNE. The bottom of the car was covered in deer. Luckily we were all okay but I can't say the same about the poor deer. Great way to start off the trip!


Beaches. We went to so many beaches on our trip but our very favorite was La Jolla beach. We all became pro kayakers and got to go kayaking in caves!


After the kayaking adventure, the boys rented wet suits and went snorkeling with Leopard Sharks.
Best friends forever.

 
We hung out on the beach and relaxed while the boys were off trying to play with sharks.
 
 

We all had tons of fun on other beaches too. Found lots of sea shells. Went in tide pools and found starfish, crabs, and enemies.

 
Boogie boarded in the freezing cold water. Danced on the beach while the sun was setting and watched the sunset in blankets
 

We all went to see the beautiful San Diego Temple. It was so big and bright, it was definitely an amazing sight to see.
We love to see the Temple.



On our way home we went to Venice Beach. So much entertainment there and full of so many people. The boys found a shop that had tons of longboards.
They ended up buying new longboards to take home!

 
This trip was so much fun! Good friends and awesome places with great weather!
Spring Break was definitely a success this year.
Well needed trip and one that will go in the books!
California, I will come back to you some day.

Signed,
Slightly burned and happy friends

Life Racing By

Most of the time we see our life through a see of images. We look back on all the memories and wish we could be in the moment again. Life is like a slide show. A slide show full of pictures and all the good times we had. It just goes by so fast. Where did the time go?! Life is going by scary fast! I wish it would slow the crap down. I can't believe that its already November! I have done so much in these past 6 months that I just need to share. Let me catch you up on my life that I have been so unbelievably blessed to have.

I have gone on many motorcycle rides these past few months and I have loved every bit of it. The wind in your face and the smell of the air. The freedom you feel riding through the canyon on a hot summer day. Doesn't get much better.
Ty's bike on Halloween
Laying in fields and looking up at the stars with out a care in the world. I love star gazing and just seeing all the beauty we have in this world. Cuddling up to the boy watching the stars, now that's the life. 

I went and saw Luke Bryan in concert!! Now that was super cool! I went with a bunch of friends and we had a blast. Florida Georgia Line and Thompson Square opened for him. I will always remember that night. People around who you love, good music, and good times.

Waking up at 4 in the morning to go four wheeling up a mountain for an hour to watch the sunrise with the boy and two friends. Only sounds like a fun time! Especially when breakfast is donuts, pepper jack cheese, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Orange Juice.

Crossing stuff of the bucket list by going fishing! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Ty got his hook stuck on a wire and almost fell in. Everything else he had fell in the water: wallet, keys, credit card. Luckily they were saved. But that image of him scaling across the wires hanging above the water will permanently be engraved in my mind forever.

Country Swing Dancing every Wednesday night with out fail. Go with our group of friends and get all dressed up and have a blast! Dance our hearts out and learn new moves. Wednesday nights are my favorite.

FOOTBALL GAMES! Front row most of the games and cheering on our Aggies! Whether we win or loose we still have our Aggies back more than we probably should haha Utah State Aggies all the way.
Aggies are definitely loosing here. We are not the happiest campers.
Speaking of camping...We are way too dedicated for our own good to the Aggies, so for the BYU vs. USU game we camped out so that we could get in early to the game so we could have front row seats. Dedication. But it was so incredibly fun! Did we win? No. Were we pissed? Extremely. 

My parents came to visit all the way from Georgia! Now that was such a fun weekend! My parents got to be in my little world that I have here and they got to be right in it. It was so cool. Literally I wish they could visit more. We took my parents shooting and my mom shot a gun for the first time. She also got to ride on the back of Ty's motorcycle. Now that was a funny sight. AND she rode it with out a helmet..can't be mad at me now! I love my parents!

Halloween parties and carving pumpkins! You have to love the fall season! Ty was Captain America for Halloween and I was a baseball player. We went to a bunch of Halloween parties and events! Gosh I can still smell the roasted pumpkin seeds.

Fall season. Walking around and crunching on leaves everywhere you step. Smelling the cool air with the different color trees everywhere you look. Fall is the best season of all. Me and the boy went on a walk in the canyon through all the trees and I remember just looking back on the trail and trying to take a mental picture because it was so beautiful. I love this season.

Went to Lagoon again and it was still terrifying! Gosh I wish I liked roller coasters haha it would be so much easier and probably a lot more fun. I still had tons of fun though! Went on a double date and there were haunted houses and everything was spooky because it was October. The haunted houses were legit! So cool! I went on all the scary roller coasters too! Super fun night with great people.

And last but DEFINITELY NOT least!! I got into my program at school! I am officially into the Special Education Early Childhood specialization area at Utah State University!! So excited! Its what I've always dreamed of! 

I have a very blessed life. I look back at all these memories and think of all the feelings and good times I had with all these amazing people. Life is short so make the most of it! Remember all the good times and bad. Remember all the memories. Remember the people you shared them with. Remember how blessed you are.

Old Faces

Went to my old dance studio the other day with one of my old dance partners.  We went to visit all the people that we danced with years ago.  Me and Harry went to Susan Chambers School of Dance to see them but when we got there, there was only 1 of them there.  Oh well haha we wanted it to be a surprise and by us not telling them, they didn't come haha Oh well we still got to see Wren!  It was wired being back there cause I haven't been there in 2 years.  I miss dancing all the time so it felt good to be in that environment again.

Harry, Wren, and Me at Susan Chambers School of Dance
Later on that night I met up with some guys I used to work with.  I worked at Little Caesars when I was a Sophomore in High School and worked there for 2 dreaded years with these guys.  I haven't seen most of them in 2 years.  I left for College outside of Georgia and they stayed there.  We all went out for dinner at the Avenues to catch up and talk about all the ridiculous times at Lil C's.  It was a good time with those boys who I haven't seen in forever.
