It Should Be Illegal To Laugh That Much

Hi Charity. I've missed your face. Snapchat is great and all but nothing compares to you in person.

 

I haven't hung out with girl since February 2014. This play date was overdue. Honestly all we did was run errands, got ice cream, and then just drove back to my house and talked in the drive way. Yet, I still laughed more this night then I had all week (which is saying something because this week was full of laughs). When I talk to this girl everything seems right in the world.

Until next time my lactose intolerant  partner in crime.

Accomplished

I got something in the mail yesterday.

Last month I finished my last classes for my associates degree.

I didn't realize how happy that made me until I got my piece of paper.

It even says Honors.

This is so much better than a high school diploma.

The Selfie Stick is the Real MVP

I love working for Deseret First Credit Union. There are many perks and one of them is getting tickets to events with BYU and U of U because we sponsor them. Woot Woot! Marnie, Shaelee and I went to the gymnastics meet and it was awesome! We sat second row, which was perfect because I didn't take my zoom lens. The girls were great and Utah won. Once again, woot woot! 

Here are some random photos that I find fun. 

*All photos are unedited*

Of course after every event we have to take a selfie to prove we were there.

We are still working on how to get the perfect selfie.

We didn't want the night to end so we drove around and ended at the temple. I love looking at the temple. Even if I'm not going inside, it is still my favorite place to be.

One temple wasn't enough.

Mount Timpanogos Temple

And two wasn't enough. By the time we go to Draper we had gotten lost, with a GPS, found the make-out point, and sang at the top of our lungs.

To end the night we went to the Whisper Dome at Draper Park. It was crazy in that dome! There is no way to explain so my only suggestion is go and experience it for yourself. Of course no night is over until you make a lip sync video. We chose the Bohemian Rhapsody selection by Queen. To see the video CLICK HERE. I love my friends for a few reason but one is that we can't conclude the night until we have laughed until our stomachs hurt.

Feelin' Twenty Two

I was hanging out with my cousin and we came to a realization.

In my mind I see myself in my twenties.

Let's take a moment and remember that I am nineteen.

With thinking I am older, I have "older people" thoughts.

Since I deal with money all day, everyday, it tends to be the main focus of my thoughts.

First my thoughts are tuition. Every semester just handing over money, it sucks. 

Now I am thinking about buy a car. But let's go back, I am still paying tuition, living at home, and also nineteen. Besides tuition and the care, I am pondering a mortgage. Like, WHAT? I don't even have a car. So why do I have all these grown up thoughts? Well, I'll tell you why. In my mind I am twenty two. I have been constantly reminding myself that I am not twenty two and that I just need to enjoy the time of life I am in. So don't mind me while I embrace the poor college student in me.

New Year

Oh hey. *waves awkwardly*

I am still alive, I promise. Busy but alive. 

I don't have a massive 2014 post but I do have a few things I want to say.

First, lets just take a moment to realize that 12 months ago I was living in a different county with roommates and rent. Second, two of my brother have gotten married. That changed our family in multiple ways. Third, I have chosen a major. That is well, pretty cool. (It's Marketing in case you didn't know.) The last highlight I wanted to touch on is relationships. I can't express enough gratitude for my new relationships that are growing at extreme rates but also for my older-"mature"- relationships that have stayed strong.

Also, shout out to having sparklers to ring in 2015.

Your Insecurity Is Showing

We live in a world where you get reprimanded for having insecurities. We are told to hide them and to appear perfect to everyone. This series is to show that it is okay to have insecurities as long as you don’t dwell in them. Use your insecurities to make you a better and stronger person. To demonstrate this, my subject Mercedes, and I picked three “stereotypes” or popular insecurities. Then we found quotes or sayings to counteract them. For the pictures of the insecurities you can’t fully see her face. She is hiding behind the insecurity, her hands, or her phone to show how they make us want to shy away from the word. But in the photos that are the opposite you see how letting the insecurity build you up and make you shine. This is a mini-series, but I feel it can be added onto and made into something bigger.
