We Are Family

My parents my sister and my 9 month old niece Scarlett came into town this week. She’s too stinkin cute 

Toy store; Scarlett liked the puppets, especially when Poppy does funny voices. 

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Paul! 

So, since Paul had to work on his birthday I saved myself some calories, and brought him and his co-workers a giant BTS cake (or Better than Disneyland cake in my family). Paul says that Im famous at his work now. :) 

He liked his cake....

Nobody likes you when your 23

Happy Birthday to me! Isn't it weird? I can remember my older sisters turning 23 and thinking how old and wise they were. On my birthday I went to class, and worked a double shift while sick. To be honest is wasn’t the best birthday iv’e ever had. (This is when my dad would say, “Welcome to real life!”.) But fortunately my mom came through! It didn't feel like my birthday at all until I came home to a big box with my name on it. Thanks so much mom! Love you! 

Arn’t these awesome? Maybe I can convince Paul to wear his ears with me while we eat. 

Happy Valentines Day!

I came home to these BEAUTIFUL roses on tuesday. I was sad that I had to go work right away, so I tried to enjoy them as much as possible before I left. 

My wonderful husband also treated me to an amazing dinner. I wore a dress, he wore a suit, it was so fun and romanic. He spoils me and Im so lucky to be married to him. Love you baby <3 

Thanks mom for sending our Valentines day box! You always know what to send to put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for thinking of us! Love you!!! 

Couldn't Resist...

My bestie Michelle is an AMAZING singer. We went to Guru’s on their karaoke night and I couldnt resist recoding it when she got up. This is my favorite Adele song (Adele is amazing, and my favorite), and as great as Adele is Michelle made me love this song even more. 

Don't Drink The Water

So I finally took the disposable cameras we had on our honeymoon to get developed. And despite my worst fears they turned out great! looking at these makes me hate that I’m in Utah right now...where its snowing.

The Hundred Yard Dash

So I found this in my old documents. It's a questionnaire that my whole family did. I forgot that I had helped my dad with it (meaning; I asked him the questions over the phone, and typed it up for him). It made me laugh looking at it again. My siblings will enjoy this :)

This is the team in Park City. Every year we go on a "retreat" to Park City, its when the coaches torture the team to prepare us for the rest of season. We may look happy in this picture, but don't be fooled. We're well into the season now, and things are busy busy busy. Just wanted everyone to know that I was still alive- Maybe after season is over ill be able to spend more time posting stuff. peace n love.

lucky

My parents are simply the greatest people on earth. Exaggeration? I think not. Who else would I be willing to spend a whole weekend with doing nothing at all? With them nothing is more than enough. How did I get so lucky?

I wish people were better at flirting...

hello world, yes i know that it has been a while. I was inspired to write when the other day I was attacked by a psychic. The day was Wednesday and the hour was around 5 pm. That day was warm and I was anxious due to a Chemistry quiz I was studying for. I was especially proud of locking myself in the library on such a sunny day. Anyway, I was at my table trying to learn different conversions when a strange looking man caught my eye.....almost literally. He placed his head directly in my line of vision forcing me to make awkward eye contact for a full 3-4 seconds before finally sat his grungy self down across from me. awesome. While I was debating whether to grab my pepper spray he stated;

weirdy - "your Irish"

me- (oh joy) "what?"

weirdy- "you can tell, your eyes give you away."

After telling me that he was a little bit psychic, I was debating telling him that I was wearing contacts (which I dont) to get rid of him. Before I could however, he grabbed my hand, flipped it over and began the art of palm reading. Of the things that he told me this is what I remember;

-I will have 5 children > 2 boys and 3 girls
-Im stubborn as L
-Im selfish in relationships - I need to be in control
-If I played an instrument I would be good - due to my long limber fingers
-I have deep emotional feelings about my family
-Im sexualy aggressive (that was my personal favorite)
-My intuition is better than those around around me
-I get frustrated with those less intelectual
-I need to live in the moment more
-Im spontanious
-Im not afriad of fear
-Im looking for a fight

Creepy right? And that is just what I can remember. I think its a bunch of garbage but who knows! If I end up having 2 boys and 3 girls ill know he was for real.

Heart Broken......

I cannot come home for Easter. It is hard to describe how sad I really am about this. I miss home, and my family terribly. My heart hurts. The End

No longer a teen

It's finally happened, I can be taken seriously at last. I want to thank my roommates (especially kellogg) for all that they made, built, cooked, and did for me. My Birthday party "prom night-at the skating rink" was fantastic. Ironically, that night at the skating rink was some celebration for an elementary school, so we were the only ones over 12 out of the 100+ that were there. What was the school thinking? I know that I ran over at least 2 little bodies, the rest of the time I was focusing on not breaking my face while weaving in and out of them all. I have to admit though, with so many little girls around I was a complete celebrity. "I love your dress!", "are you the prom queen?", and "where is your prince?" was yelled out at every turn of the rink. Though they are smelly little kids, in which many of them still; wet the bed, and eat things that certainly shouldnt be eaten, I couldnt help but feel good about myself. Anyway, it was way fun and I had the time of my life. Here are just a few pictures of that night. Enjoy parents :)
