kissa wedding and a trip home

This last weekend i finalllllllly got to go home even though i was definitely there two weeks ago! but in my defense it seemed like it had been WAY longer! On Wednesday after a very very very long hike day (we have those lovely four year olds for eight straight hours on hike day!!!!!!!!!) I jumped in my car and drove to the airport because I was barely going to make it in time to catch my plane and I arrived at the airport just in time to rush through security to find out that my flight had been delayed.... two hours... yuck! For some reason I always get super lucky and my flights to mesa ALWAYS get delayed!!! Crazy! So I finally got home around twelve thirty at night and the next day went to karissa's wedding and then went home and got ready for pictures and her reception! It was BEAUTIFUL! I loved every second of it! She looked absolutely gorgeous and I'm so happy that I got to fly home for it!! Here are some pictures of the reception

Then on Friday I hung out with my family ALL day of course! It had only been two weeks since I saw them but I still missed them A LOT!!!! I was so happy to see them again and then Saturday morning I jumped back on a plane (delayed of course) and got back to Aspen Grove with 15 minutes to spare before work started! SO LUCKY!!!
trent even tried in this little beauty for me :)

best. brother. ever.

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!
