The Weekend As WE know it!

So this past weekend my best friend slash soul sister, Rachel, came up to visit me! It was a blast, even though I was sick haha Friday we mostly just hung around the house and watched movies since I was still getting over my sickness. We watched The Last Song while finishing homework, then went and rented You Again and Life As We Know it. We ate Rumbi and watched movies then did our nails :) 

Saturday we went shopping and came home and watched a movie as a little break then went to the Utah State Basketball game. It was so fun!! We sat by some of my friends and had the time of our lives cheering!  I absolutely LOVE basketball games! Rachel got hit on by some man ha he passed her a scroll...yes a scroll! never would have seen that one coming right?! well the scroll part not the part where Rachel got hit on, I bet that happens all the time :) After singing the fight song and the Scotsman a few THOUSAND more times we decided to go. We went back to my place and ate then decided to go hot tubing. One problem...no hot tub at my place which means getting people to let us into theirs :) Well we parked and went around back to the hot tub and there were too many people and we didn't want to be there with that many so we get in my car and go to pull out and what happens?! oh yeah we are stuck!! One its freezing outside, two there is tons of snow on the ground and three I was not dressed for the occasion... sweatpants, flats, a sweater with only a swim suit underneath, trying to push out a car by myself! Luckily some nice guy heard us struggling and came out to help :) We then decided to go to McDonald's because I was finally hungry! So we ate and talked and eventually fell asleep in a very uncomfortable manner on my teeny tiny bed.

Sunday was great! We went to church, did some homework(I know, I know no homework on Sunday, I just got too distracted this weekend!) then made brownies for a brownie bake off. We went to Ward Prayer and ate too many brownies then went and played games. And of course Rachel got some more lovin haha the boys were serenading her and making up songs about her it was HILARIOUS! I wish I would have recorded it haha after our wonderful music filled evening we went back home and looked at wedding things with Brooklin and Shaunzi. We got super tired and decided it was time for bed.

Monday we went to one of my classes then it was time to head out and take her back to Brigham to meet her ride. I am happy to say I had a FANTASTIC weekend with my sis, filled with laughing, pictures, too much food, too many movies, late nights, and lots of music. Thanks for a great weekend sis!! Love you to death! <3 

Singing Cards

Have you ever gotten a card from someone that either has a song that plays when you open it, or a saying or just music? Well I have! And pretty sure this is kind of how it is for me when I get one haha Hope you guys like it because I think its hilarious! :)

Uh studying...

When I can't stand to take another minute to study haha I know I am a dork :)

and yes to answer your question I do wear fake glasses but what can I say?! I like them :)

My Dreams Came True Because of You

This last weekend was FABULOUS!First I will tell you a little bit about it... Friday I went down to Provo and hung out with my basically brother, Andy. Then I went to dinner with my parents and a cute boy :) haha and went to a BYU Men's volleyball game...which was amazing! I LOVE volleyball. Maybe, just maybe, I got a little too into it and screamed a few times, not like they could hear me, but I must say volleyball is probably one of my passions. I went on a few adventures that night and had a total blast. Saturday I hung out with my family and went to a BYU basketball game. After the game my brother had a brilliant plan...He was going to wait for Jimmer to come out and drop his hat in front of him so that he would pick it up haha yep my brother is a genius! Sunday we decided to go to Music and the Spoken Word thinking we were going to watch the Tabernacle chior sing. Well we showed up and it was a recording, I guess you could say my brothers weren't too happy haha but it was funny. Anyways in short my weekend was the best! Now to what I really wanted to talk about...my family :)

This weekend my cousin and I had a long discussion how our family(as in extended) is different compared to a lot of others. We are a lot closer and we always know whats going on in each others life. I knew this before but for some reason it hit me that night, my cousins ARE my best friends. I have friends and roommates but no one can beat out my family. And quiet honestly, you must be one special person if I am hanging out with you over my family haha. I am not gonna lie, sometimes when I leave my family I feel like I am leaving apart of me. My family is always interested in my life, even if its teasing me about boys haha and I know that no matter what, I am always welcome to their house. Today I was looking at the Christus and I got an overwhelming feeling of how much the Savior loves me. He loves me so much he sent me to earth and gave me the family I have. I was overcome by the realization that the Atonement is real. That no matter what mistakes we make in life the Savior is there to help us. My brothers are crazy, my mom is my best friend and I am my daddy's little girl. I love my family to pieces... both extended and immediate :) I have no idea where I would be without them. They are my life, my support system, my best friends, and I am so happy we are close! Because of my family I know my wildest dreams will come true. Love you all!
