Merry Christmas!

So far over Christmas break I have spent it with my favorite people. 

I was able to see my roommates from Freshmen year and hang out

with them for a couple of hours. We even brought Tarah and Carrie

with us, on a stick. It was so good to see my best friends. I can't wait

until we are all together again! 

On Saturday I was able to have a reunion with my oakcrest girls! It was such

a good time to see everyone again. Though there were only twenty of us (half of the

staff is on a mission) it was a great time! I'm grateful for their examples to me!!

Zach and I were able to hang out for a few hours on sunday, and as always it was a great time. 

Unfortunately, this is the only picture I took from that night. But he spoiled me and got me

a rock climbing harness! I'm stoked to use it in my class this semester and for him to come to USU!

Rockin' his new USU sweatshirt 

Monday/Tuesday 11 of the 14 cousins went downtown with 

our Uncle Lex to party and see lights/sleep in a hotel. It 

was a blast! 

I love hanging out with my family, especially during this time of the year! 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year! 

37 Things You'll Regret When You're Older

i just want to talk about a few of my favorite ones. but the rest of this article can be found here

#5-missing a chance to see your favorite musicians. take advantage of going to concerts, they honestly are so much fun! a great opportunity to find new artists, sing along with the band, and just go crazy!

#6- being scared to do things. this is not something i have perfected, obviously. but I have been trying to do more things in my life that scare me, and it has been worth it so far! (don't choose stupid things though haha) 

#12- being afraid to say "i love you"- this can be towards your significant other, a friend or a family member. everyone comes into our lives for a reason, don't be afraid to share your true feelings towards them. besides, love is great. i highly recommend it :)

#13- not listening to your parents advice- everyone goes through a phase where they know they are right and their parents are wrong. i'm def guilty of this. i'm grateful my parents were patient enough to wait for me to get over my bratty phase, and wait for me to actually appreciate their advice. it's golden.

#15-caring to much what other people think about you- life is better when you stop caring about other peoples thoughts. live your life.

#22- missing a chance to ask your grandparents questions- sometimes i plan weekends where i can just hang out with my grandparents. they are the coolest, and i love talking to them and learning about their lives.

#37- not being grateful sooner- i'm guilty of this. we have so many great things in our lives, why not show our gratitude sooner?

Also, I hung out with my friend Caitlyn yesterday. She introduced me to Noah and The Whale. Why have I never listened to them???? This is my favorite song so far!

to the five of you who read my blog? what was your favorite from the buzz feed list?

and. what's your favorite band no one really knows about? 

Last Weekend

This weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Christmas Devotional in Salt Lake. 

It was incredible, I highly recommend watching it if you haven't. You can watch it 

here . After the devotional we went and walked around Temple Square to look at lights. 

I love this time of the year, especially downtown Salt Lake, it's so pretty with all of the lights. 

As Zach and I were walking towards the pond in front of the temple I over heard a conversation between a 7ish year old kid and his mom. 

Kid: "Mom, for Christmas will you get me an over coat? That way I can still look awesome, and 

be warm!"

He was just so excited about it, and it made me happy! 

Good luck with finals, and everything else going on this week! 

Also, a 60 year old lady told me in relief society yesterday that she finds Zach gorgeous and 

that I better hold on tight to him. So there's that. 

Hi internet

Life is good. 

This song always makes me happy. 

To help with my lack of creativity I have turned to blog prompts. Here are a few, if you care to read them and get to know me I guess. 

These prompts can be found here

1. In a fantasy world, forget about spouses and loves, if you could fall in love with a movie or tv character, name 5 you would choose. Not the actors but the movie characters. Just to name a few: 
1. Nathan Scott from One Tree Hill
2. Ren MacCormack from the new footloose
3. Alex from Safe Haven 
4. Noah from the Notebook, obvi
5. Logan from Safe Haven
2. What was one of the most defining moments of your life, perhaps a moment that changed you forever, a moment that took you down a different course, anything. When I think of my defining moments I think about my freshmen year of college and my first summer at oakcrest. Both of these experiences helped me to find who I truly am. I had to remove myself from my family, and figure out what I really wanted and what I really believed. I wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for the amazing examples around me. I am a different person, and I am so happy about the change. 
3. The one place in the world you’d really like to live. Though I am perfectly content in Utah, I think it would be a blast to live in the city. It has always been my dream to live in New York, even if it was just for a few months. It would be an adventure and I would love to experience the true city life. Going to local bakery's, taking a Taxi, and just being with everyone. Outside of the U.S. I would love to live in Greece!
