Luv Lfye

So you know when you just sit in a car, and talk for a long time.. About anything and everything? Ya, those are my favorites. Or you have those days where you are just in the car, sitting there listening to music you are so happy you don't even need to turn down the music to "think" about it, it just glows through out your whole body. The feeling of happiness is one that can't be explained. All I know is i'm feeling that, so much right now. I don't know what it is, maybe the fact that my family rocks, i've got some of the best friends anyone could ask for, i've got a job, i'm happy, a roof over my head, i'm able to go to school. I can wake up in the morning and say, oh heck sure does feel good to be me. We all have those days that they can just literally suck, nothing about it is good, no matter how hard you try. Sometimes that's when the people you love most come into the picture. Saying something small that fits into a big part of your heart can be a hard thing to do sometimes, but when it happens isn't it the best feeling? Or the friends that you might not be so close with anymore, but no matter how long it's been, or how much your heart hurts whenever they say "i love you" you'll always say it back, no matter what. THOSE are the people you need in your life. The ones that prove that they need YOU in THEIRS. Friendship is such a two way thing.. i don't know how you can have a one sided friendship. In the end, if you did have the one sided friendship, it's nothing but tears and hurt. How do I know? Trust me, lots of chocolate, tears and sadness have come my way losing some of the best things in life to me, or maybe in a way be de-moted but some. It's nothing to point fingers too, cause i know it's happened to all us of. Did I tell you? I lOVE having the butterfly feeling in my stomach, just the feeling of "hey, life is wonderful and i'm glad it's mine" no one can take that sort of thing away from you, and that's something that's priceless to me. I guess i just have a lot to be thankful for, and i need to always remember that when i'm having a tough time, there is always someone out there a million times worse off than I am. BE HAPPY! :]

Hope you stay forever, cause my heart really likes you.

Life is wonderful, that's what i would start my blog out with wouldn't I? I'd actually start by saying life sucks sometimes but it's something we all have to get use too. I've learned so much in the past couple weeks that it blows my mind the things people go through and we don't even know it. All i know in the end of this day is i have the MOST AMAZING FRIENDS EVER. Seriously, in my life for a reason and i hope they stay forever cause my heart kind of likes them a lot. Seriously, im in love... with people. Everything about someone is something to another person. Ever thought of that? The people that we look at weird in the street and think, what the.. IThere is someone that is in love with them, that thinks they are the most amazing person in the world. Wonder what it'd be like if that's how WE thought of EVERYONE. hmmm, just thought about that.



So this is Paige. She's taught me so much in the time that we've been hanging out together. Im in love with the way she lives her life. she is so real that it's kinda sad.. Well, not sad. But you get what i mean. It's life and she knows what it's about. She knows her life sucks in some ways, but she takes it the best way she can and makes it the best. She isn't over positive about things and she's sad or upset or happy when you are. It's refreshing to have her around all the time. I can't wait to see what else will come our way and to see how each one of us grows up and how we grow up :) it's always nice to have someone to go to for things when it's that one person that you need to hear from. It's refreshing for sure!



These girls are amazing. Each and everyone of them has taught me something i will take with me forever. I can't tell anyone enough how lucky i am to have friends like these girls. I LOVE them!



Megan and Paigey are my home girls :) i love them and everything about them. They don't get mad when i mess up, or i treat them rudely. They always understand and it's always so refreshing! Thanks baby girls!



You remember this girl? yup, she's in almost every one of my blog post. Just like she's almost always in my life. She wont leave... That sounds rude, but guess what i don't mean it in that way. Let's be honest, we have drifted a lot lately and things have changed, and we've moved on from different things in our lives. But let's face it, we are going to be stuck with each other for the rest of our lives, and there is nothing we can do.. really, let's just embrace all of it and take it as it comes. You know what i mean, and i mean it in the best way possible. duh!



This is Tyler and Me. We have been through TOO much together but i love every part of it. Even though when it comes to i feel like he's being the girl cause he talks so much. It's my fav. I go to him for anything cause he never says no. He'll always be my best guy friend :) Can't wait till he gets rich and buys me whatever i want.. (that's what he said, not me)

I LOVE MY LIFE!

The way I am! :]

I love the song "Take me the way I am" By Ingrid Michaelson! and the song "Battle Cry" by Shontelle. It's just so, tender.. But seriously, it could be used to describe a friend, family, boyfriend, girlfriend, anything could fit into the subject of these 2 songs. I think!



This is Me and Paige. you should be jealous that she's in my life. I love her! She's been such a blessing in my life lately. She knows whats up, and is just so chill. She's one of those "one in a million" friends that everyone wishes that they had, guess what? I DO :]



These are my brothers! I love them so so so much :] I love my family, so glad and blessed to be a part of it.

Taking people the way they are is so important, and not judging the outer cover of there real inside story. I've had some of the best examples of people that have taught me not to judge the people first, and get to know them first. It's so incredible what you could learn when you actually get to know the person with out not liking them cause of what they wear, how they act, what they look like, what religion they are, who they hang out with. Don't take other peoples judgements cause we all look for different things in people.



I MISS ANG AND TAY! I hate when places like School take my girls away from me. I can't wait till they come to visit! Thank you girls for being so amazing and teaching me things I couldn't have anyone else teach me. LOVE YOU!


Jake is leaving us. He is going to be the best missionary out there :] "get ready Dominican" See you in two years Jakers!

True friendship is so important to me, and i hope it is to everyone else. The friends you have are what makes you go through those tough days, the ones you can call when something exciting happens, when you need a shoulder to cry on. Don't forget the true ones in your life, for the ones that just make you happy now. I've had some of the most amazing best friends, and they always will be even though things change and we drift. We will always find each other when we need too :] hence the song, "battle cry".


These girls SAVE me. I love them so much!
Court- You're always there for me, doing whatever i want and not complaining about it. Your such a true friend is ridic.
Megs- I don't stop laughing when you're around, you have the funniest sense of humor and it's my fav. You're always
there for anyone, and it's such a blessing to have you in my life.
Aubs- "sissy" Thank you for making my life so much easier, going through the struggles that i have been going through
and not giving up on me, it's been hard at sometimes but you've never left my side. I love it and you!



Jessica is getting married, i am SO excited for her. I can't wait :] Congrats baby girl. I love chelle and krista! Gf's forevaa!



These girls have my heart, they are some of the greatest friends a girl could ever want! I love them!



Such a tender girl! We've been through tons and things have changed, but she still has that place in my heart that wont go away. She know's it too. hahahaha she's taught me some of the greatest things, and i'm forever thankful!



I LOVE MY FAMILY! FOREVER AND ALWAYS FOR ETERNITY! :]

Thanks for checkin' out my blog. Hope you know how amazing you are, never forget it!

My Quotes!

So I don't know if many know this, but I love to write quotes. I don't know why, but they've always seemed to be the only thing that could express what was on my mind, and others. It's such a nice thing. Kind of like how everyone has that one song that is "their" song. We have our own quote too. I thought i'd just make a blog entry about the quotes i've written and share them with everyone. Hope you enjoy them.


"Open my book and see what im about, instead of judging my cover. I may not be ready to publish as fast as youre ready to read..." -mae barker"

"My best days are ahead of me" We all have those days that you would do anything in the world to wake up that morning and take it all back. I know i've felt that way before, especially these past couple weeks. Life doesn't give you everything you want, but you get to decide what to do with what you've been given. The Lord gives you those days, those struggles and challenges to grow stronger and be thankful for what you have. He knows you can handle what he gives you, that's why it happens to you not someone else. Love what your given, even though it might be hard. "


"With love comes hostility" We take the ones we love for granted because we know they will always forgive us, they will always understand us, they will always be there for us when we need them the most. But in the end, just make sure you let them know how much they mean to you."

"The best is yet to come. Friends are a very rare jewel. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share. Being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility."


"So I always thought, what is the real definition of friendship? I think we all have our own definition. Is it the person that will be there for you, no matter what? The one you call to cry on their shoulder? The one you can use and abuse and no matter what they'll still be there for you? Want to know why they do this? Cause you gave them a reason. Somewhere inside of all this craziness, you gave them the reason to want to protect you, to love you, to want to give you exactly what you want. If you've found a friend like this, you've found a winner! Don't let it go for something you think might shine brighter."

"So I've had somethings on my mind lately, but the one that has really stuck with me lately is, when your hurting, your struggling, when you think life isn't going your way. There is always almost someone else that is struggling so much more than you. Help others out, even by doing little things & your problems will seem so much smaller. "When you dig another out of their troubles, you find a place to bury your own."


"Ever wonder why people come into your life, why they leave, and sometimes where they even came from? I know I do, all the time. Something i've learned is you can't make someone stay, want, or need you. They are put into your life, or your put into theres until your ready to move on in the lesson your suppose to learn. It's hard to have them leave, but sometimes it's what's the best."

"We are made to grow, to learn, to hurt, to progress. We will fall, each and everyone of us. No doubt about that! Things will go wrong, but thats why we have those "bandaids" in our lives. They are there to help us, to heal us. They are the things & friends that get us threw those scraped up knee's and broken hearts."

"When you think your alone, life is to rough, everyone's left you, and there is nothing left to be happy about. Think again, your in the Lords hands. There is no other place i'd rather be! He protects us, give us exactly what we need and loves us unconditionally no matter what we do. "Love should be our walk, and our talk"


"I realized something today. It's time to grow up but not completely. It's time to realize how good we have it & appreciate everything. Time to change the things we don't necessarily like. Time to just love life! We can't always hold onto everything & everyone. People change, they leave, they grow, sometimes they just disappear! If their meant to be in your life, they will be. "Everything happens for a reason."

"Whatever challenges, struggles or obstacles we come across, we have them because there will be a time when we look back at everything that's happened to us and we'll say and think hey, that helped me grow, learn and be thankful in one way or another. or you'll think, hey that was the hardest thing I have ever been through. But in the end, everything works out exactly how you need it too. If you're thinking about giving up, don't because God gave you your life because he knows that you are the only one strong enough to handle it."


Those are just some of the quotes and ways to live life that i've written! :]

Most Precious Treasures!

Okay, so I totally saw Toy Story 3 tonight with Andrew, Kyron and Amber. WOW, that movie was amazing. I didn't think it'd be super good, but it proved me wrong. I learned somethings from that movie, even though they were all pretty much cartoon characters. haha It really hit me in some parts of the movie (no, i didn't cry just yet) but it just showed me if you stick together, through everything and you don't give up one the people that mean the most to you, you really will be okay in life. Doesn't matter if you have a million friends that love you, but really if you have those close, true real friends you can trust no matter what. I had some names come into my head, that's for sure. I just had something in my eye.. Cough cough! haha The best part of the movie was when Andy was giving his toys to that precious little girl and he was giving woody away. THAT made me cry! He described him as his "most precious treasure" made me realize we all have those precious treasures. We might have to give them up, or loose them to know what it feels like to not have that person or thing in your life. Never take the people that do the most for you, for granted. They are the ones that you want to keep around. Don't put them away on the shelve and use them when your bored. They collect dust and will try and escape. Just kidding! When the girl has Woody wave back to Andy, that was another tear jerker. I just loved the movie. If you don't at least think about crying during this movie, maybe there is something wrong with you? just kidding, but seriously. There were so many life lessons learned in that movie. It's one of my favorites.

I've got a lot of "precious treasures" but one of my biggest treasures are my friends. They are half my world, probably even more than half. I don't know what I would do with out them. They are my pick me ups, always.

This is Taylor. She's a grand girl and she

has helped me through some tough times

even though she has her own to go through.

She is always there for everyone and has

been such an example to me. I love you

Taylor Olivia Jackson!

I know i've already posted this picture, but this one is

my favorite of these gorgeous girls. They are amazing!

I love each and every one of them. They know what its

like to be "down to earth" they are trusting and always

able to put a smile on my face when I need it. Sister love

forever! :]

This is Megan, she has been a lifesavor lately. I just love

her to pieces. She is always there for me. She listens all

the time she is real and knows what she wants in life.

It's easy to talk to her. She's become one of my great friends,

i love it and her!

Gretchen! I love this woman. We work

together, tan together, shop together.

pretty much she is amazing. I love having

her as a friend! :] she is incredible.

Meet Matt. A.k.a my brother!

This guy is amazing. I love him so much! He is

always there for me with advice, love and just

great times. I look up to him so much!

Each and everyone of these girls has taught me something

amazing in life.

What they've taught me!

Macy: Have fun and love life.

Chelsea: Love one love all! She's bomb at that :]

Taylor Jones: Doesn't matter what's going on, or if

something goes wrong, have a positive attitude and it will

end up amazing.

Taylor Jackson: smile that big smile of yours.

Angela: advice giver, like no other! I LOVE it.

This is Andrew, he is amazing. No joke :] I love spending

a lot of my time with him. I can just let go and be myself.

i'm not a different person around him, and that is

something that i love in someone. He always is making

me laugh and just being the sweetest boy!

These girls are indescribable. I LOVE them. They are

always always there for me, no matter what! They have

the best advice and they always get me. It's so refreshing

to have these girls in my life.

I seriously LOVE having all these people in my life!

These girls are just phenomenal, no joke!

Each and every person in this picture has done some

sort of miracle for me in my life. :]

I still believe in saying "save the best for last" yeah, it's

weird but I believe it. This girl is incredible! We've been

through some of the craziest things in life, and some of

the most sweetest things that we've been lucky to be able

to experience. She's been my other half and I couldn't have

done or gone through some of the stuff I did with out her.

She is definitely a huge part of my life even though things

have changed and we've become very busy and we've kinda

drifted. Not my favorite, but some of the greatest things in

life test us too. Miss you, best. :]

I wish I could write something about each and every person

that has done something for me in my life, but that would take

years, no joke. I'm so blessed for everything I have in my life

and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Missing things...

So honestly, complete and total honesty. I'm missing somethings I use to have. Is that bad? Makes me feel kinda, weird? I don't know. I guess I shouldn't be missing them cause technically, I still have them. I guess I miss the way it use to be. So sad, and kinda pathetic. But hey, it's true.

What I miss.....

* my baby blanket

* when I could play with barbies

* When people would call, instead of always texting

* True people ( we have them, but they are rare.)

* Realizing what you have, and not letting it go

* Kissing behind the flag-poll in elementary... we ALL did it

* Play dates

* Tea parties

* Dress up

* Being able to have others keep secrets

* Love, it's here but really? where..

* Comfort in being alone, like that'd happen.

* Not being afraid to be you

* Real looking people, if that makes sense

* When my mom would make me snacks after school. HELLO, still in school.

* When having lots of "toys, cars, clothes and make up, money, bags, shoes" to play and have wasn't what made you. you made yourself.

* Checking under the bed for monsters

* Night lights. still have one, but it's dead

* Happy People. This world seems un-happy sometimes

* Babysitting

* Having an walkman

* Wearing ugly clothes that use to be in style.

* When the world didn't revolve around facebook.

* Mostly, i just miss life. Basically what i'm saying is don't go through life thinking that you need to be someone you aren't. Remember the good ol days when you had to worry about what your mom packed in your lunch, or how she did your hair and how sad it looked sometimes when she was done. Honestly, I miss those days. I'm glad I have my today, tomorrow and forever. But still, life was easier when we were kids. Admit it, you know it's true.

Stressed, but very Blessed..

Wow, school! Never thought it would get the best of me but it definitely has. I've never had to be a crazy "studier" to get good grades. I can listen, repeat and be able to remember almost all of it. But with this class that i've been taking, it has shown me differently. Never thought I'd say this, but school, you win.. For now!

Other than school kicking my rump, life has been great. Ups and downs, but life wouldn't be life with out them.

I can say things definitely turn around for everyone, and in the craziest ways. I love the blessings we get from being obedient and doing the small things in life that make up such a big part in other ways. I've learned patients, lots and lots of patients. School, work, Friends, My knee, my family, my dirty room, my laziness. I've have lots to work on.

Christ-like. Big word, small actions. I've been trying so hard lately to be "christ-like" Fill my heart with lots of love, and just give it to everyone. I don't know why it's been so difficult lately, but it's getting better and I am so happy about it!

Lot's of crazy things have been going on and I love it. Take a look :]

These girls are WONDERFUL! :]

(Left to Right)

Krista, Lexa, Michelle, Me, Brenna!

Okay, i know what you're thinking and no it's not..

It's Non- Alcoholic, promise!

Andrew && Mae :]

We're bowling.. Doesn't look like it!

Date Night with Andrew at Makarohnee grill. Yes I know

that I spelled Macaroni wrong! haha

We ended up at sonic, I was suppose to be studying.

Kyron and Metzli. Love them :]

Me, Andrew, Metz, and Kyron!

Me and Metz! I LOVE her. She leaves me to go to Utah.

I am so excited for her and the adventures ahead of her.

Mac, your getting the best Make up woman ever! :]

Allie has always been the best about letting us come over

and hang out at her house. These people are amazing!

Fish, Josh, Me and Thatch! :]

These girls are adorable! i love my friends.

"To be irreplaceable, you must be different."

It's almost 4 in the morning, and I can't sleep. Typical me! I guess I just have a lot on my mind and since it's so late, I don't really have anyone else to talk to and it gets old thinking out loud maybe hoping someone will wake up somewhere and text you "Hey, are you asleep" Always thought that would be crazy. I'm sure they wouldn't want to listen to whats on my mind though. It's like a roller coaster of thoughts. I'm not in love with it. I like to think, but too much silence makes me worry, and when I worry I think, when I think, I get confused. I over think sometimes, not all the time but definitely do sometimes.

Amanda got Baptized. I am SO proud of her! :]

Going quading with this boy is always an adventure.

Thatcher is amazing! :]

I've met some of the greatest people lately

and I love it. Here are some pictures of

everything i've been doing lately!

Getting Bahama Bucks w/some of the Krew!

* Jessica, Kari, Me, Jordan & Taylor at the

midnight showing.

Some of us being crazy at Paiges Birthday Dinner.

I just look stupid. oh well!

I got in a quading accident last week, look who came to

Urgent Care with me? yeah, more pictures to come!

*Story; I was quading with a bunch of friends, 5 minutes

before we are suppose to pack up and get ready to go

back home i might add. I'm sitting at our site waiting

for us to load the quads up. Out of no where comes my

lovely friend Scott going about 30. He was being his

crazy old self and wasn't paying attention like he should

have been doing (which, who really does right?) and he

didn't see me sitting on my quad and he comes and Tbones

me on my left side. I of course go flying off and so does he.

My quad rolls, his rolls on top of me & then i find myself

laying face flat on the ground. Next thing I know 5 seconds

later I have people surrounding me. I have some of the

greatest/most helpful friends. I'm glad they were there to

help me. Kari took me to Urgent Care (along with Thatcher

coming to visit) we had a great time messing around with

all of there equipment. We got to know everyone very

well and had some great laughs & talks. Instead of feeling

pain all I could do was smile and laugh my way thru it.

I'm so lucky and blessed that it wasn't anything worse.

Just waiting... Like always!

Never leave her alone with a glove & a self timer camera.

Me, Kari, and Kari. Yeah, TWO Kari's...

Turned into more of a play date than a visit. haha

As for Scott, Karma hit him the next week long boarding!

just kidddding.

*My life is Incredible*

I had the time today to just have a me day. Want to know how I spent the day? I slept in, got up. and automatically started to clean my room, my bathroom, my closet. I did all my laundry, cleaned out everything. I even did it with me bad knee, I was very impressed. I always feel so much better coming into a clean room. I don't know what it is, but after your tired of spending countless hours cleaning, it's always worth it in the end. I was writing in my journal and I thought of something that I thought was cool. When your dirty, your not living a clean life. It's hard, frustrating, it gets you angry or upset. But once you take the time to really organize and clean yourself up it starts to feel fresh, happy, calm. I take that the same way as we repent. We always feel so much better when we are clean. Random, yes. True? Most definitely.

Me and Jordan :]

Hanging out at the Usual. QT gas stations were dreams

really do come true.

Gorgeous friends! I love them.

No matter what happens in our lives, or how crazy

we might get, or how crazy we might be. You'll always

be the same person to me. My Best. :]

My thinking process!

You might not think I have one of these, but oh boy do I ever. I love to think, that might be weird but it's fun. Sometimes in the end i'm upset that I thought so much about one thing and not so much about the other. But what's been lately on my mind is how Trials come in the forms of blessings. i always think to myself, why should we love our trials? How come my trials might be bigger than someone else's, and why is it happening to me? Lately things have been difficult to me. School is tough, always has been. Friendships have struggled and that's my least favorite out of all of them. But honestly, in the end i'm gaining something better and the only person that makes me feel that way is the Lord. He know's what he is doing with my life, I just need to trust him more on it. Even though I wish I could have what I want now makes me more excited to see what I'll be getting in the long run. Either its something good, or a lesson that needed to be learned.

Well I think it's time for me to get to bed! Hope you had fun stalking :] haha
