Life is GOOD

I really have had the best of times lately & have been so busy having fun I didn't

have time to post a blog about it all!!

I was able to go on a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise with some of my girlfriends!

Our ship made stops in Cabo, Mazatlan, & Puerto Vallarta.

It was my first cruise & it was such a BLAST! I highly recommend going on one :)

Our trip in a summary: eat, sleep, dance, lay on the beach & REPEAT!

We met some of the funniest people & the best part was that we had nicknames for everyone...

Dinner was definitely a highlight - our waiters were a hoot. Manoj from India & Patrick from Romania :) I miss those men. ha ha

Then I had to wait a whole week (worked everyday... it actually was pretty rough :) haha)

and then I got to go to Disneyworld with my family! I am a tremendously huge Disney fan so I was VERY excited about this! I hadn't been to Disneyworld since I was small & my dad forced me to ride all the rides... very traumatic.

It was much better this time around!!

I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to spend so much time with my friends & family and to be enjoying some of my all time favorite things: the beach, swimming with dolphins, Disney & Jack Sparrow.

Life is GOOD!!

Current Events

Well, I don't even know where to start!

I guess I just want to say how grateful I am for all the love & support my family has received these past couple of days.

It has been completely overwhelming how many people have contacted my family to just let us know that we are in their thoughts & prayers. Thank you!

My family is definitely not viewing these current events as a tragedy... more just a disappointment.

From this I have learned that sometimes our greatest blessings come in disguise through our trials - My family has already begun to become so much closer & it can only get better from here.

Its been hard that my family has to go through something so personal so publicly but I am glad my dad is the great man he is and for being so strong.

As everyone keeps reminding us ... this to shall pass.

2010

I cannot believe a new year is here!!

I don't know why but I am pretty excited about it.

Things are already starting out pretty different....

I am not attending school this semester (weird!) - just working at the lovely surgical unit at McKay-Dee hospital.

Trying to pay off my Africa debts & get myself back there ASAP!

I am applying to nursing schools & keeping my fingers tightly crossed to attend in the fall.

If that doesn't turn out I'm thinking maybe a mission??

Ah! It's a hard decision. But regardless... I have a good feeling about this year :)

Missing Camera :(

Yes. It's true.

My camera is MISSING!!

I know it must be around some stinkin place but I just can't find it :(

I have some cute pictures to post from the

Snow College Bowl Game too!!

Pray that my little camera finds its way back into my arms okay?!

Thanks!

Go UTES!

In my family... we are UTE fans!!

So today we will be cheering for the best team.

(Our dog included... notice the cute red bow! ha ha )

Go Utes!! :)

New Moon

I have to say... I LOVED New Moon!!

Nothing better than going to an awesome midnight movie with friends.

We were totally legit & bought shirts with Edward & Jacob on them saying:

"Please don't make me choose" - Bella

Cheesy? Yes. Fun? SO MUCH!
