the moving begins.

i just finished moving the first half of my stuff into my new room. 
it is already starting to feel like a place i can consider my home away from home. 
the best part about it is that i have an excuse to go to every single crafting and design store in this town to get things to finish decorating it!!!!!!!!!
that makes me happy as happy. and keeping busy with the new room project will definitely help me to keep my mind off of missing home. 
i shall post pictures when i am finished with it! 

until then i will post this picture....just because it makes me happy.
jess gentry and i. beautiful friends, beautiful sun makes me happy.

i'm a big kid now?

yes i realize that i have been absolutely terrible at blogging lately.

my excuse?

getting ready to move.

that means soaking up all the time possible with my family and friends while slowly packing and deciding what things i am taking and what i am leaving home.

this week i haven't cried much.

the last two weeks were a different story. most of the times i cried it was because of my family. because i am going to miss them like crazy.

anthony is at his senior sunrise right this very minute, i hate so very much that i am going to be in provo for his senior year. hate hate hate hate it.

karst asks if i will be back in town to watch his baseball and football games.

tonight my dad came into my room while i packed and just stood there, then said goodnight. then five minutes later came back into my room and asked for another goodnight hug because he is going to miss them. talk about ripping the heart out!

my mom gets teary whenever it is brought up. when mommy gets teary i get teary.

as hard as it is to leave them i am so grateful that i feel that way. i am glad that my relationship with my family is so close and tight knit that i am not moving out with the sad "so glad i am leaving them"feeling.

if i hand't prayed so hard about this decision and felt the comfort and reassurance of the holy ghost it would be ten times harder.

as depressing as this post seems i truly am extremely excited about this new chapter in my life!

p.s. more catch up to come once i am a settled in provo.

come to zion.

it was cinco de mayo, sam texted me, i didn't have work or anything else for that matter, the new friends came from provo and zions was calling our name!

happy cinco de mayo. from the most attractive hikers, ever.
mustache anyone?!


we decided to hike angels landing. i was pretty excited because i hadn't ever done it before. it was a gorgeous day, warm with a slight breeze. the mountain was just calling our name!



views from the top were breath taking. if you haven't done the hike....go....just do it!


 the boys cd cover? i think yes.



 caleb, kevin, bo, sam and uno female at weeping rock.


we ate at oscars cafe before getting back in the car to drive home. long hike and full belly makes for exhausted passengers and a bored driver. good thing sam got ahold of my camera to keep himself preoccupied!




beautiful day, beautiful friends.
