The Wedding: Part II

Okay okay dear ones, I am sorry that it took so long, but they are here! Just a few more pictures to celebrate family, life, new beginnings, and love. (Which that didn't sound corny at all...) But it is just so crazy to think that not even a month my sister left me! And to think that we don't have the same initials anymore; how dare her. But I hope that these will be captured as memories forever and the two love birds aren't trying to kill each other yet...love you guys! And it may be me but I think some of these could possibly belong on a hallmark card. Just sayin.

Happy Tuesday,

That is all.

This Is R-Town.

Over the weekend little miss Kaela invited me and Jessie over to her house in Riverton to celebrate her mother Julie's birthday. While we were there we went to a movie, grabbed lunch, watched her stud little brothers throw down on the basketball court, celebrated the chinese new year (which is today by the way, konichiwa) hung out with friends and family, went for late-night milk shakes, and so much more! It is always a pleasure to go to Kaela's little neck of the woods for the weekend and be spoiled by her oh-so-wonderful family. Until next time!

Over The Weekend...

This is who I will be with. Doing who knows what next. Wish me luck.

Awkward And Awesome Thursday!

AWKWARD:
1. Realizing that the bookstore closed in ten minutes so I sprint to return my book on the last day, but was in my gym clothes. So I don't know what I got more dirty looks from, the fact that there was snow on the ground and I was in shorts, or because the sun was at that perfect angle where you could see just how hairy my legs were. It's winter people, calm down.
2. When you are talking to someone at Special Olympics and he just has a hard time focusing to your face and not to your chest. My eyes are up here buddy.
3. So I have this habit of putting my necklace in my mouth subconsciously. Not the whole thing, just a little piece. Well, finally someone says, "does your necklace taste good or what? I looked over at you ten minutes ago and you still have that necklace in your mouth." Um, yes, yes it does thank you very much.
4. When a boy, trying to be all impressive, says, "did you know that it is impossible to crack an egg by squeezing it with one hand?" Well guess what? He proved the impossible all over my clothes. And I was not impressed.
5. When the bus is super packed and you are lucky enough to have a seat when mr. beer belly over here stands right in front of you and decides to lean out the window. So his stomach is in your face. mmmmm.

AWESOME:
1. Those kind-hearted boys who give up their seats for you on the bus. I'm sure the boy couldn't tell I was a girl (it was one of those days) but nonetheless, still thoughtful.
2. The fact that it was supposed to snow a foot last night and to wake up to not only having it rain, but the previous snow is completely gone. Spring! Spring! Spring!
3. Winning third place in our buildings door decorating contest. Which isn't saying much, but there was some stiff competition, and free ice cream is free ice cream.
4. Waking up thinking that it's 7:45 and you have to wake up, and looking at the clock and seeing that it is only 5:00. Praise the sleep gods.
5. How quickly this week has gone by, thank you Martin Luther King Jr., you have done so much for my life, including making my weekends happier.

USU Special Olympics: Regional Edition

Kaela And Travis

Me and Devon

Vicki really like that Deal or No Deal Game

Good morning! So on Friday Kaela and I got the opportunity to participate in Regionals for Special Olympics. Which is basically when a bunch of different areas that support Special Olympics get together and "compete" against one another. What was so great about it was that we got to wake up at 6 a.m. and get on the bus to go to Ogden. Which would be totally fine if it wasn't for the fact that it was early in the morning, we couldn't find where the bus was picking us up, and I am NOT a morning person. But other than that I put on my happy pants and was surprised that they even let us on. After the trip we arrived to the alley and geared up for some fun.

Well, it was a little disorganized so the athletes were confused on when and where to bowl, I was stressed because I didn't really know either, and everyone just wanted to bowl. Eventually our players got set up and were locked and ready to go. Each bowler bowled three games and competed against the other athletes on their lanes. It was so much fun to see how everyone was enjoying themselves and just appreciated the event. It just goes to show you how grateful you can be to have your life because these people have daily struggles, and are so happy to be alive, that even another's company, or a bronze metal can cheer them up. Overall, it was a absolute joy of a day, but very long.

Life Lately According To My iPod.

1. Going to the crepery to celebrate being home and birthdays.
2. Getting cozy on the couch.
