October thus far....

It started out with hearing from our prophet and apostles and other church leaders at General Conference, which was wonderfuL!...I loved each session! A couple of the talks that specifically touched me was Pres. Uchtforf's talk on Hope, Elder Worthlin's, and Elder Holland's talk about angels. It is such a blessing to have a living prophet on the earth today! And I look forward conference every six months!
This month we also got to celebrate my brother-in-law Jake's birthday! We all went out to Texas Roadhouse, it was crazy busy, and a fun and loud envoirnment! I love Jake! He is such a stud! He is such a good husband to Steph and dad to Hallie, Savvy and Christian! I love being around Jake, Im so glad he is in our family! Hope you had a great birthday!!

So being graduated has its pro's and con's! I love being in the salon! But it also means I don't get to see my favorite girlfriends from schooL! I Miss seeing them everyday. So after a week haha...I planned a dinner night! we went to the pizza factory! I was so glad that it worked out for most of us! Yay, i got to catch up with the ladies, such a great time!

A couple weeks ago, Me and my buddies Baden and Jason went on an intense scooter ride down by the lake. It was one of the first colder days this month...and it was seriously freezing! But awesome! I dont ride our little scooter that often, cause i get off and im all smelly. :) I need to go more!I got to have a fun night out with one of my besties Chelsea :) We got to chat and go out to comedy sportz one night this month. I love that place! It was so fun being with her. She is always so full of smiles and always makin me giggle. Im so grateful for her friendship! When she showed up to my house...we were wearing almost identicle outfits!!!! This is Me, Amanda, Melissa and Stacie getting all ready for the masquarade ball! When I heard about it I got so excited! Any excuse to put on a pretty dress and get all fancied up...I'll TAKE!! We went stag and met up with a huge group of friends most of them from our ward. We ate dinner in Tucci's....mmmmm, so yummy and then headed to the dance! I had such a great time!! I love to dance! My legs are still sore! I couldin't stop! :) The masks were a fun change too! Craig and I went with one of his mission buddies and a date up to the Moonlight Lift at Sundance! It was another cold night! But so gorgeous! I wish I would have done it a few times earlier in the season!
Hot Tubbin at Kev's house! This was the first year I have really ever appreciated hot tubbin, i was never a big fan....but I have done it alot this year!!! It is so relaxing, especially after being on your feet all day! I want to have one someday!

Last night .... last minute Abbey called me and we went to dinner! I hadn't seen her in months! We went out and ran into Brit and her roomates! So we stole her for a bit and chatted. Good food, good company....one of my favorite things to do!

Decisions...

I have had alot of things on my mind lately and I am very grateful for the Lord helping me through a few rough days. As I am considering what salon I would like to work at, what other job I should work, what school I should attend, if i should serve a mission, and who I can reach out to around me....

I ran across D&C 58:27...veriily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause; and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; For the power is in there wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

What a blessing the scriptures can be. Im very grateful for them and thankful for the Love of the Lord in blessing me with peace through this scripture.

PS, Sorry to whoever was offended by my last post. I wasnt trying to sound bratty and rude.

The Events of AUGUST!

So much happened in the last couple weeks of August, Im not sure where to start!! Lets start with the most important events!...

MOM AND DADS'S 30TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

What a special occasion to celebrate! We were able to go to dinner as a family up in Midway..and that is where all of the fun began. Heidi had taken charge and planned an incredible evening for my parents. We started at dinner each presenting our parents with a gift and explaining our feelings and expressing our gratitude for them and their lives together thus far. We then presented them with a book, a special one that Heidi spent hours and hours putting together. With everyone's help, we gathered pictures, journal entries, and wrote heartfelt letters that were included. It turned out beautiful and is now a treasured possession. We then made out parents close their eyes as we drove them to Jake and Steph's condo in Midway where so many friends and family were gathered to suprise them!!! What a fun thing to witness this suprise! There were friends from their college years, and even family who had traveled hundreds of miles to join in the celebration. The night turned out wonderful. There was music, decorations, munchies and more memories created. Thanks to everyone for all they did to make it happen! And thanks to Mom and Dad for giving us something so special to celebrate. We love you!

STEPH'S BIRTHDAY

We were able to get together for lunch at the Olive Garden to celebrate Stephy's birthday. She is such an amazing woman, and I love spending time with her, Heidi and Mom. It's starting to get harder to get together for birthdays...with her little famliy growing, with husbands, and crazy schedules!!! But it is always such a joy when it works out! I love you Stephy! More than you know! And I hope you enjoyed your birthday as much as I did!

Out for dessert after dinner! I forget the name of the place...the most divine frozen yogart!

MICHAEL'S FAREWELL...

It was so fun to have Ed and Monica and family over for a BBQ and an evening together before Micheal reported to the MTC. I love my handsome cousins! Sheesh, aren't I so luckY! It was great to hear his testimony and hang out with him for a bit before he took off. Michael is going to be an awesome missionary! Thanks to everyone who came over, it was a fun time!

BRITTANY'S BIRTHDAY ...

One of my best high school girlfriends had her little birthday get-together! There were so many of my awesome guy friends from high school! Most of which are all returned from their missions. Watching so many friends go out and serve and then return is a neat experience and a strength to my testimony of the true gospel and the importance of missionary work!

Brittany, Abbey and I were able to go out to dinner later in the week and catch up! Im so grateful for the friendships that i have had with both of these amazing, talented ladies! Thanks for having a birthday and giving us girls an excuse to finally get together!! :)

A Fabulous Weekend

Friday night I went up to Draper to my friend Siri's house. We all gathered there together to watch her open her MISSION CALL! We all made our guesses.... and when she opened her call...

She was called to serve in the FRANFORD GERMANY mission! She couldn't stop smiling. Siri is going to be an incredible missionary! She has taken a couple years of German and is thrilled about her call! I'm am going to miss my best friend. But cant wait for her to share the gospel! Saturday night...kind of a long story. So Bradley and I broke up a week from today (last monday)...we had plans that next Saturday to go to the show at the Hale in Salt Lake. I was so excited to see the show and had told him that he better take me :) Because of the break-up, that wouldn't be the plan. I recieved a phone call from him. He told me that he knew that I wanted to see the show and said he wanted to give me both of the tickets so that I could take someone else. I told him to keep the tickets. The next day my friend Craig asked me out for that Saturday. I said yes and he told me that he wasnt going to tell me where we were going. When we got off the exit for the Hale Theater, i started to panic inside! AW, if he took me to that theater....oh my gosh. He asked me if i knew yet, where we were headed...I guessed the Hale and he said YES! Oh my gosh, i bout died. I got sick to my tummy. And told Craig that Bradley was going to be there! He immediately said "Nope." He proceeded to tell me that Bradley and emailed him and asked Craig to take me becausee he knew how bad I had wanted to go. And he also knew that Craig and I are close close buds and that he wanted me to be able to go. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. I didnt know what to say. So, iI teared up instead. Aw, we went to the show. And I LOVED IT!! Thanks so much to Bradley for being so thoughful and Craig for being such an awesome friend and taking me up there and to dinner as well! Love you both!
Seriously this show was soo good! It is called 'BIG' I would suggest it to everyone who is looking for a fun evening! I quick funny story...so my teeth started hurting during the second act and I knew that i needed to take a pain killer or i wouldnt be able to enjoy the rest of the show. We didnt have any water and I couldnt just leave...I was wondering what i could do. Craig pointed out that the older couple next to us had some water. He dared me to sneek it. :) I waited till the lights went down and quickly took a sip. LOL it was intense. Craig teased me the rest of the night, that his dentures were in that water! EW!! haha we laughed about it the whole night!

Hair Hair Hair!

A new girl at school came to me with a pic and asked me to cut her hair...Of course I said yes, i love cutting! THe picture was pretty intense! it would be my funkiest yet! But I took on the challenge. Here's how it turned out...

I used a razor for the whole haircut! I think it turned out great. SHE LOVED IT! :)

And here's an updo that i did this week! I do alot of them, they are my favorite!!
