attempting

So It's Sunday morning and I'm sick of my hair and always doing the same thing to it. Straight or in a pony tail! So where do I turn....good ol' pintrest! I don't feel like I have a very set style or am very fashionable at all  but I try and like to find new ideas. Here is my attempt for the day...

 What it is supposed to look like

 My attempted...for the first try not to bad!

Stoked to be going to church! :)

annual once a year hangout...success!

Sad but true Britt, Amanda and I get together about once a year and hang out and catch up! We always say we need to do it more often but with all of us going to school, working and living different lives it usually ends up being another year till we get together again. But even though we may not see each other all the time and talk a lot in between every time we get together we pick up right where we left off, no awkward

 re-acquaintance just lots of talking and laughter! 

Brittney and I have been friends since Kindergarten. We were inseparable little twins growing up. We did everything together and she will always be that best friend to me forever!

about 6 yrs. old

 

 20 yrs. old

Chinese Anyone!?

For our Friday activities this is about as exciting as it gets. I always love spending time with Kendra and Lance. Simply going to dinner and spending the night being lazy on the couch in front of the T.V. with these two some how becomes very fun! :)

Chinese faces (no we aren't racist) 

 Lance very excited for our delicious food!

Always need a good laugh

For Christmas Elet bought us all tickets to go see Brian Regan. If you don't know who he is look him up! He is great! It was so much fun and so hilarious Kendra was crying she was laughing so hard and my cheeks hurt for about an hour after! During the show I was thinking as I was laughing to my self and listening to others laugh around me. I am so grateful for laughter. It is the sound of pure joy and just brings a truly happy feeling! Thank you so much Elet for taking all of us!

On a different note....I have come to find out that I am bad luck when it comes to seeing shows and being in a small area with lots of people (Marry Poppin's Experience). About 5 min into the show Brooklyn got sick and lost her stomach right then and there. Onto Kendra's Lap, Elet's hair, and she sacrificed her purse for the rest! After someone came and cleaned it up and Kendra's perfume we both enjoyed the show. But sadly Brooke and Elet had to stay close to the bathroom and missed the rest of the show. I felt really bad for both of them and decided that I just shouldn't attend shows like this anymore.

Coming to a close

Well as you can tell I have really been enjoying my holiday season because I sure have been slacking on my blog. I finished up school and pulled out probably the best semester I will ever have the rest of my school life and I was very excited for a nice long break! First came celebration of graduation! I graduated with honors with my associates degree

 and Kendra got her batchlorsjealous

Then I got to enjoy the season and all the great things it brings:

Ice skating

No one can forget about the hurricane of a windstorm that hit and the historical day that church was cancelled for clean up..

Temple square more times than I can count

Christmas Parties and Celebrations

and of course....who could forget ICE FISHING!

What fun adventures this whole year brought to me!! 

Now onto a new year. As this past year has come to a close It has caused me to do much reflecting. 2011 was really a great year. I reached many goals that I never thought I would this year. I have really grown in many ways. Over all It has just been a great year and I am very excited to see what 2012 has in store for me and in which ways I will continue to grow. 

Some goals for 2012:

~continue going to the temple at least once a month~

~read at least 1 scripture if not more every day~

~Be in a play/perform~

~get into the dental hygiene program~

~keep my room cleaner~

~be better at budgeting my money~

~save money~

~get more in shape~

~run another half marathon, beating my time from last year~

~manage my time better~

~write in my journal/blogg~

I hope that 2012 goes as fast as 2011 went! :)
