spontanious

Last night I went to the mall with my friends Auri and Alise! It was SO fun! Our main objective was to get supplies for making head bands! We are having a head band making party tomorrow. I'm obsessed and it's unhealthy. I have WAY to many. At one point during our epic outing we were walking past Claire's and they remembered about how much I always complain about how I can't wear stud and they peer pressured me in to getting my ear re-pierced! I can't believe I finally did it after wanting to for ten whole years! The women who did it was a super creep but she was really good at what she did so I lived with it! She even left a note in my bag... what a creeper haha

I was SUPER nervous!! and they even let me hold the little teddy bear :)

after they even convinced me to buy green eye shadow and I have to say that I wore it today and I am in love with it :)

Aspen Grove is finally warming up... a little... :) So far this week of orientation has been so fun but super exhuasting. I learned how to put in a chain link fence this week which was interesting as well as sweeping the entire deck of the pool. Good times :) I have met so people here that I absolutly LOVE already! They are awesome! My Tromper room (the age group I watch is the four year olds and they are called the Trompers.) is almost ready! Heather (my partner) and I decided to go with an underwater theme and its turning out SUPER cute! :) I will post pictures later when we are finished!
This last weekend was the single parent weekend where single parents come and stay for free and we get a sort of trial run before the real camp begins! It was amazing! I love single parent weekend. I meet the most amazing and strongest people! They are awesome! This week for a few days is a youth conference and my cousin Kayla is here!!!! SO FUN! And then finally on Wednesday our first group comes! BRING ON THE KIDS! I'm so hapy!!!
Here are a few pictures of orientation week

thank you aspen grove.

So yesterday night after a long day of traveling I finally arrived at the grove! I was so excited! It was raining like crazy but hey thats ok right? Well it is until the sun goes down and you wake up to this....

Really Aspen Grove?? Reeeeeeaaaally?????

For some odd reason I thought I didn't have to worry about snow anymore seeings as its May and all... Boy was I wrong!

kissa's bridal shower!

As mentioned in my previous post Karissa had her bridal shower recently! I didn't have pictures so I stole them! :)
This is a picture of Dana, Amber, Karissa (the bride to be), Me, and Amie! Can you believe that we have all be friends since we went to elementary school at Porter? Crazy!

This is the lovely gift my mom, my sisters, and I gave to her for her shower!

Mesa and a Makeover :)

Being home has been absolutely amazing but insanely hot! I'm actually really grateful that I don't have to endure the heat all summer. Provo has made me soft! I just can't stand the heat like I used to be able to! A few weeks ago was Karissa Bridal Shower! It was so amazing seeing all of my old friends! We had a blast and Karissa looked gorgeous as always! I still can't believe she is getting married and now Amber Payne is preggo! Its so exciting! :) Last week the girls that I'm living with next year Melissa and Lynzi along with their old roommate Jessica came for Savannah's wedding!

I love these girls haha
They were only here for three days but we made the most of those days haha! We went shopping and hung out their first day and then went over to Savannah's to see her before the big day. The second day they were completely swamped with wedding stuff and the reception was amazing! (pictures to come)! Then after their long day since it was their last night we decided we couldn't waste it and went and saw "Letters to Juliet" at midnight! It was SO SO SO amazing! I love love loved it! us at the midnight showing!

We are SO excited for the new Avatar movie that is coming out!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!
The next morning we sadly had to say goodbye to them and I don't get to see them until the fall :( sad days!!!
Also a few days ago I gave my laptop a little makeover! As a college student this piece of hardware goes with me where ever I go. And I mean everywhere! So I thought to myself if I take it everywhere why don't I give it a little makeover! Best decisions EVER! It took me about three hours but it was well worth the work! Here is a lovely little picture of the finished product!

Its gorgeous I know! :)

Lastly, in approx 4 days I will be here for the rest of summer...

Be jealous, very jealous!

reasons why i missed being home

I have been away from arizona for SO long and there are a few things that i really miss about being here like...

My mom always doing my laundry- jag (my sisters puppy) cuddling with you when you read a book- tabsco popcorn (YUMMM!!!)- getting farther away from my house than a mile more than about once a month- not having huge pot holes in the road- being able to just talk my older sister about stuff- sharing clothes and jewelry with caroline :)- running to taco bell at 1 am with trent- actually having three meals a day and dinner isnt at midnight- homemade bread :)!- not ever having to wear a jacket even at night- no cleaning checks and absolutely NO homework!

I'm so happy that I get to come home for a whole month! I love being here! but sadly the best friend was only here for three days before her excursion to china for six whole weeks which means no texting :( sad days!

one of the chickens layed this the other day...

poor chicken. she tried so hard haha

p.s. finals week= stress like crazy! I some how made it through without getting sick (a byu finals first for me), and made it through without pulling an all nighter. Lets just say ALOT of dr pepper was consumed and a little to much sugar. But I survived and for that I am greatful

this is my room during my dejunking room-packing extravaganza that took me an entire week. I have WAY to much stuff.
luckly its all packed up until next fall! yay! sadly though ms. white (my lovely white van) and george dubya (my pet cactus) are both left in utah! and I miss them already!
p.p.s. my sister finally found out what she is having!!!! a little boy! I'm so excited! He is going to be the cutest little boy in the whole world!!!

I'M FINALLY GOING TO BE AN AUNT! :)

YUP THATS RIGHT! my older sister Marci is preggo! which means that i'm FINALLY going to be an aunt!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha they are so creative :)
