Uhhh...EVERYONE!! It was kinda fun.

I think this was in 2000 or 2001. My dad was a little into hiking that year and wanted to hike table rock so we decided to join him. (I LOVE Will's binoculars and Pokemon shirt. Haha! And I don't know what the heck I'm doing with my arms.) I was in really good shape that year, but it was still really hard. By the end of the hike I heard Will crying (he was only 7) so I gave him a piggyback the last 1 or 2 miles of the hike. It was fun and I want to do it again!

Happy day of LoVe!

Maybe I should hate Valentines Day like every other single girl in the world, but for some reason I don't. When I went into Smith's and Macy's yesterday something about all the balloons and flowers made me smile. I also loved seeing all the guys scrambling to get them at last minute for their girls. It was funny. I will say I DO hate one thing about Valentines. Cupid...I think the naked, winged little archer is pretty dang creepy.

I think Valentine's is good day to remind me of the things I do love...and there are a lot, but in honor of February 14th...here are 14 things I love....

14.) CANDY...need I say more?

13.) OTTER POPS...something about that fruity goodness melting in my mouth on a sweltering summer day just makes me smile. I have a lot of memories that involve these delectable tubes of ice.12.) BOATING...is my favorite! One of my goals this summer is to get better @ slalom skiing. The last time I went last summer I got up on a regular slalom ski instead of my "big, fat cheater ski" as I call it. I was excited and want to work on cutting the wake well this summer instead of just coasting back and forth.

11.) HOLIDAYS...Who doesn't love holidays? Honestly. Family. Fireworks. Easter eggs. Candy. Food. Laughing. Cupid...ha no. All sorts of goodness. I love the excuse just to be with the people I love. I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving is bad luck for me though...3 out of the past 4 years something unfortunate has happened. Haha...It'll redeem itself eventually.

10.) PICTURES!...Oh how memories make me smile. Smilings my favorite! =) I need to get better at taking more pictures. My camera has problems and always spazzes out so I get frustrated and don't take enough.

9.) Uhhh, TEETH...(nerdy I know) I LOVE smiles! I better because that's gonna be my career and why I spent 6 hours on Valentines day volunteering at "Give Kids a Smile Day." I got a free t-shirt out of it too. That's always a plus...

My favorite part of hygiene...injections!!!

8.) SPORTS...maybe it's because I grew up with all boys, but I love watching sports. I'm a typical mormon and love my Cougars and Jazz. I also love March Madness and always cheer for Duke...sometimes I get chastized around here for that one.








7.) NATURE...sunsets, rainbows, mountains, stars, clouds, trees, the ocean, thunderstorms (I like to run around in them...dangerous. Maybe?)

I took this one morning @
my house in Shelley...yeah I was awake.

6.) ~QUOTES...Church quotes: Help me have faith and to get through life and remind me why I'm here.

~Inspirational quotes: Do just that, they inspire me..haha.
~Movie quotes: I just love stupid movie quotes...sometimes movie quotes can express what I'm feeling better than I can. K-probably not, but I think they're funny.
~Friends & family quotes: I just love the funny people in my life and the things they say. I've actually started a quote book because my family is so ridiculous and I want to remember the things they say that make me smile.

5.) LAUGHING...I love laughing! I probably can find humor in almost anything. I always get in trouble with my family because one of my main requirements for the person I marry is that they make me laugh and some of them think it's ridiculous. I can't help if I want to have fun for the rest of my life...

4.) MUSIC...I kind of love music a lot! I love singing, playing the piano and I WILL learn how to play the guitar well. I love all kinds....(my iPod is extremely random) but I grew up on rock so that will always be my favorite! Music is my medicine whatever mood I'm in. Hymns always can calm me down and I'm grateful for them.

3.) FRIENDS...WOW! I have known a lot of amazing people in my life. You guys make life awesome! I love how I can be myself around my best friends and they still love me, even though I'm kinda crazy!

2.) FAMILY...I know that I was put into a certain family for a reason. My family is the best for me. They are my very best friends and I can always count on them. I have learned different lessons from each and every one of them. We aren't perfect and do fight sometimes over some pretty stupid things, but we can laugh about it later and we will always love eachother. I have qualities of each family member and am who I am because of them. Yeah...I'm the luckiest girl in the world. :)
1.) The GOSPEL...It's hard to describe how I feel about the church. I just know I love the feelings I get while I'm there. The peace and comfort I feel when I even just look at a temple. The scriptures and the way they make me feel better when I'm struggling or even if I'm having the best day in the world. How hymns and the words in them can make me cry because they make me happy. How I have a knowledge that I can always pray to someone who knows exactly what I need in life, loves me more than anyone, and is my best friend. The sense of direction the I recieve. I love the gospel more than anything.



















Can you say old picture...but I love it!
