LAST WEEKEND!

My Friend Siri Stone and I were asked to sing at her uncles funeral in Idaho. We did the song from Wicked called "For Good" We went up thrurday and slept over at her Grandmothers house in Idaho Falls. The Funeral was held on Friday morning. It was a beautiful service. My deepest sympathy to their whole family at this hard time. How lucky we are to have supportive families and wards, and of course to know about life after death. We are so blessed!

The Stone's have a cabin up in Palasades, after the funeral we headed up to their family gathering and reunion up there. It was so fuN! We stayed in their little cabin. ANd boated all the next day!

We had the opportunity to do our first payed show together....we sang for a party in this beautiful yard/ranch in Farmington. It was so gorgeous! We each sang a couple songs and then we did 3 songs together. We have had such a great time learning and performing together. It has been interesting getting to know eachother better in that atmosphere. We each handle our stress and nervousness differently but when we sing together, things are so comfortable. I look forward to sharing our passion for music and making more memories together! FAMILY NIGHT:

We had family night at Grandpa Greaves home and then we went over to the Lindon Playhouse to see a play called "Never Kiss On a Park Bench"... we all laughed so hard. Here is a picture of Taylor and I with the cast!

PARADE:

My school was part of the American Fork parade on Saturday. A few of us walked in the parade and passed out flyers and combs for advertisement. I have so much fun with these girlies! After the parade we all headed to Wingers for lunch. It was the best Saturday that I have had a school!

Wow, it seems that I have been so extrememly blessed lately! I cant help but share a few things that have happened in the last while!

Family Relationships:

Heidi and I have had some time to play together! I love being with Heidi. Im so grateful for her great example and she sure knows how to have fuN!

Barrett has a heart of gold and I love being around him. Im so excited for him and Jeanine to have a baby! He will be an awesome daddy!
Stephanie is a constant example of raising a righteous family. She has been able to come in a couple times to get gel toes and to catch up! She looks so good after just having a babY!

Singing Opportunities:

I got asked to sing the national anthem at Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasent Grove! I was sooo nervous. There was maybe between 8-10,000 people there! What a neat opportunity. And the love and support that I got from family and friends was geat!
Since I met Bradley, we have been able to do some singing together! Here we are singing for his wards BBQ. Right after this, we went to my best friend Abbey's house and sang a song at the backyard concert that was going on. Also...the very next day I sang a funeral. I love shaing my love for music and being able to sing the songs that I love most!

Hair School:

NOpe, im still not done yet, but the Lord has truely been with me every step of the way through hair school. I have been blessed to associate with wonderful girls at my new school and great instuctors. I have met a few life-long friends. I have also been given the chance to be an example and share my feelings and thoughts about the gospel with some of the girls. I was recently nominated and voted to be president of the hair school council. haha kinda cheesy, but I found it to be a compliment and another opportunity to try to make a difference.

Friends:

Recently all of my guy friends from high school have returned from their missions and being able to attend their homecoming talks and here about there missions, have strengthened me. The Lord truely has blessed me with special people in my life! The top picture is one of my and my buddy Baden and the picture below is of Madi, Ashley and I. MY friends keep getting married. They are crazy...haha ;)

Relationship:

Bradley and I have been dating for about 5 months. Currently we are not exclussive, but he is sure a blessing in my life. A man of great strength and desire to live a righteous life. I am so grateful for his example and the times that we have been able to share together already!


I love this picture. I love Utah Valley. It is so beautiful and full of special people. People of a chosen generation. What a great responsibilty we have to share our testimonies of the gospel. I know that we have a Savior who knows us individually, and it astounds me the unconditional love that he offers to all of his children! Thank you to all my you who have been a part of my life thus far, I have truely been blessed. I love you all!
