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. 

Victory

Utah State won the big bowl game!!  We are all very happy campers.  My daddy and I watched it on T.V while "The Crew" was actually there.  They drove to Boise to go to the smurf turf for the Potato Bowl. 
We, meaning The Crew, are die hard Utah State fans.  We are at every game whether it be a football game or basketball game.  We are there on the front row and we love cheering on our Aggies!

The Crew after the Aggies beat The U!
We camped out so we could get into the game earlier...12 people in a tiny small tent, SO MUCH FUN!
Then we rushed the field after the most intense game that went into overtime. Such a good game!

Stand Strong, Stand Together.  We bleed Aggie Blue!   

The season is over and our boys did awesome!!  Even though I wasn't there for the big bowl game I'm glad "The Crew" was to cheer on our boys to victory!

On the Move

Oh the Airport.  Well folks I am currently playing the waiting game.  I'm waiting to go home!  In 6 hours I'll be at the airport ready for the long day ahead and ready to fly home.  Where is home?  Warm, beautiful, Alpharetta Georgia.  It's home to me and I cant wait to be there.  I currently go to Utah State for school.  My heart is split in two.  I love my home in Georgia and my home at Utah State.  The whole thing is bittersweet.  I get to go home to my family for three weeks!!  But while I'm gone, life back at USU doesn't stop.  I'll be missing the Bowl Game tomorrow (Utah State vs. Toledo).  My friends ("The Crew") drove up to Boise this morning for the big game tomorrow, The Potato Bowl!  Man, that trip would be soooo fun!! Also I'm going to miss my roommate getting MARRIED!!  So crazy!  I will miss my other roommate's Farewell.  She is leaving to go on a mission trip for the Mormon Church to San Jose, California.  A Farewell is when someone talks in church before they leave.  I'm Mormon and most of my friends have been leaving lately to go on mission trips.  And lastly, I will miss "The Crew's" New Years Eve Party.  But even though I will miss all of these things...I'll be with my family!  And honestly, that is better than all the stuff I will miss.  Christmas time at my house is one of my favorite things.  So cozy with the twinkling lights and smell of pine.  Ah that Georgia air, There is literally nothing better than it.  The Atlanta Skyline is calling to me.  I shall be there soon enough.

 

Most of the "The Crew" at our Christmas Party

(Colton couldn't be here because of basic training.)

We miss him sooo much! He comes back to us in 3 weeks!
