Sigh.

This is what I think I can handle:


This is what Heavenly Father thinks I can handle:

Couldn't they be a little closer to the same thing?? Like could we maybe meet in the middle? Could He maybe believe in me just a little less I wish?

Luckily, I have truths such as this:

A BIG Announcement!! Surprise!!

We want to publicly announce that we have added a new addition to our family!!!

Welcome our new baby :)

Did you think we were going to announce a baby?? I hope so cuz then I tricked you!! HA!!! We are never having any babies for 15 more years! (that may or may not be an exaggeration).

I cannot tell you how excited I am not to have to ride the scooter to school in -10 degree weather!! Last winter was the most miserable thing I have ever experienced.
Glad we found a nice car in our meager price range!

Cool things about our car:

• Traction control which will be awesome in winter
• Sunroof
• Turbo so we can race and drive like crazy people
• Heated seats!
• its warmer than a scooter or bike

Summer Lovin'

Its been a LOOOOOOONG time since I updated this blog. I got caught up in my other one and then our camera's memory card stopped working in our computer :( And I can't write a post without putting up pictures....boring. But we finally figured out how to make it work so here is the update of all the fun dates we went on this summer

One night we decided we wanted some candy and a movie.....

2 pounds of candy....

yum :)

A lot of sugar and one movie later it was a great date night :)

We also rode our bikes to Golden Spoon. We did it more than once, it was maybe our favorite summer date.

Changing out of his bike shoes

Awh lovers :)

A really fun date we went on was a picnic in the park. We made wonton salad and packed it in our new cooler with a bunch of other things and went up to the storytelling park in Provo Canyon. It was a beautiful night and we had a lot of fun

Mr. Sexy

We did lots of other fun things too......

Like ride munchkin's trike

Lots of wakeboarding and waterskiing

Sterling got a new bike. I modeled it for him

And I think I'm really cool with my new shoes and running glasses

That is the end of our summer. It was really fun. I am sorry Cynthia for not keeping this blog updated :) I promise I will be better.

Piggy Bank

The little things add up! I emptied my piggy bank after over a year and there was $40.17 in it!!!!! Yippee I'm rich! Okay, I'm not, but I made a special savings account for my piggy bank money. Hopefully as it adds up and up we can go on a cool vacation or buy a Wii fit or something :)

Birthday! It's my Birthday!!!

Wooooooohooo to being born! 21 years ago! 21 used to seem sooo old. Now I still think I'm a teenager sometimes ha jk. I got lots of great presents from lots of wonderful people! I already documented my sweet awesome bike, so here's the rest of the presents

Water-skiing date with my dad (yes, notice the SNOW in the background)

Yum! Cake for breakfast from my awesome neighbor Rachel! I ate half of it before I remembered I wanted to put up pictures of all my presents.

This may be my favorite present from Sterling.......

Everyone at the pool is gonna be so jealous of my towel

A box of chocolates....used to be! It was a glob of delicious yumminess that was once a box of chocolates
(I cannot for the life of me figure out why blogger sucks and rotated this picture....ugh irritating)

This freakin cute white dress! You can't really tell how cute it is in the picture, but take my word for it

Yes I know you are blinded by my incredible muscles, but this present is actually the running capris I'm wearing. I've been wanting some for months and months!

And that's it for now folks! I'm one freakin lucky amazingly blessed woman! Can't wait to ride my new bike tomorrow morning!

I like to ride my bicycle

ANTM

 

I'm a scooter model. 

Oh. And I wore this while cheering for the 10k runners at our conference championships. Hahaha. I was the best cheerleader there. Everyone ran faster cuz of me. I know it.

Haha, I crack myself up!

For my Mother

This is my beautiful Mother

She has taught me so much in my short 21 years of life. I am so thankful for all that she has done and all that she still does for me.
She's taught me to:
        -be a hard worker
        -get a good education, and finish it

        -accept others no matter their beliefs
        -have a hobby
        -never give up: years of fighting with me to practice viola, but I can say I am so grateful she didn't let me quit and she never gave up and fought with me
        -persevere: I know this is pretty much the same as never give up. But she sat through probably 50 track meets and on more than one occasion was very patient with me as I cried because I didn't think I had done well. But she never let me give up and she never let me get too down on myself :)

-love your family

I have the greatest family in the world. Thanks for being a good example to me

        -spend time with your family

     She has made so many sacrifices for me and gone all over the country just to spend time with me. And I have loved every single minute of it. I love traveling with my mom and I am grateful that she has taken me places and even came all the way to Texas just to watch yet another track meet. 

       In New York City where she took me for my senior trip

       This is also in New York but it is similar to another picture of us where we are on top of the Seattle Space Needle where she came with me on an orchestra trip. I loved having her travel with me places

              In Houston, Texas where she came to support me and watch me run

My mom is really fun

And she likes to take glamour shots with me. 

Okay maybe she doesn't like it, but she is nice enough to do it because I like to

Thanks Mom for being the greatest mother I could ever have asked for. I really do appreciate every single thing you do for me. I am the luckiest daughter ever!
