Gotta LOVE Holidays

Holidays are so much fun. I love this time of the year. There is always something going on whether it be going to see christmas lights, concerts, or having a UGLY SWEATER PARTY!!!! That's right an ugly sweater party. It was so much fun, even though I looked like a super old lady. We played piggy back twister, had eggnog shots (so gross by the way), and just had a good old time. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!

Looks like somebody missed the memo of an Ugly Sweater party.

Grateful...

I finally got to go home for the first time in like 3 months. That is a long time for me. I just love my family. It was so fun to spend Thanksgiving with everyone. I have the cutest nieces and nephews. We have so much fun together. Oh and I couldn't ask to better parents. They are amazing. If you have never meet them, I hope that someday you will.



Scary face.. She is so dang cute! Girls Just wanna have fun.

Coldplay Concert

So this past weekend my roommates and I went to Coldplay. I've been to many concerts, and when I say many, I mean MANY! :) Coldplay was by far ontop of my list. It took us almost 3 months to decided if we were going to go or not. We ended up buying tickets two days before the concert. We had great seats. Oh my goodness, it was just so much fun. Here are a few pictures....



The roomies...



Amazingness! They played in the crowd right by us



These boys are HOTT!!!!



The stage....

Tram Ride up Little Cottonwood Canyon....

Today I went with my friends Tiffany and Lisa up to SnowBird ski resort. They were running a special for the day. All we had to do was bring a can of food for the food bank to ride the tram for FREE! Oh how I love free stuff :) Note to self.... Make sure to ask for directions before heading out. We thought the tram ride was at Solitude ski resort. We drove half way up little cottonwood canyon and realized that Solitude was up big cottonwood canyon, whoops. So we turned around and headed down the mountain. Thank goodness for cell phones! We decided that we should text a couple of friends to find out exactly where it was... hehe... The tram is at SNOWBIRD. So we turned around and headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon for the second time. All in all the day was perfect. Here are a few pictures from our adventure.

Real Soccer Game!

Last Thrusday, I went to the Real Soccer Stadium in Sandy with my friend Megan! Megan is friends with the guy who helped design the new stadium. He scored us some nice seats. It was so cold, but so worth it to go to the game on opening night. The stadium is amazing.



Love this girl!



Damon did a great job on the stadium.....



The group of boys we were with were so funny (we forgot to take a picture of the them). Thanks Ward for embarrassing Megan by your random comments. Thanks Kyle for jaywalking, making it easier for us to justify, and to Ward almost getting hit by a car. Haha (I shouldn't be laughing, but it was funny). Megan you are the best, thanks for inviting me.



Such a fun night!

4 Wheeling Memories

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl!

Oh how I love to go four-wheeling. Over the past few years I've been able to go on some many trips with my family and friends. I just thought I'd post a few pictures of my fondest memories four-wheeling.

Rain + Mud + 4 Wheelers = SO MUCH FUN!

Provo crew 4 wheeling in East Zion. The best roadtrip ever!

Time to Update......

This past month, I've spent quite a bit of time at home. My Grandma Wilson was on her last whim, and I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could. Growing up I would spent almost every weekend cleaning, playing cards, or just visiting with my Grandma. She was so funny! Durning the last week of my grandma's life, she had many visitors, and all of her children were able to be at home with her. It was a great experience for me to be able spend time with my grandma during her last moments on earth. I love you Grandma, and I will always be greatful for advice you have given to assist me in my life.

A trip down....

...Memory Lane! I've seen this on a bunch of other blogs and it looks so fun so I figured I would join in.
1. Add a comment on my blog. Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Seattle!

So I just got back from a fun trip to Seattle. A couple of friends and I went up to Port Orchard, Washington (an hour away from Seattle) for our good friend Jana Shumaker Peterson's wedding. I've never been to Washington, and I loved it. So many trees and it's green every where. The girls and I left Wednesday at 4:30 in the morning. I don't recommend that to anyone :(. We spent most of the day in downtown Seattle. It was a fun city! My favorite part was the fish market, oh and all the flowers. The reason I went to Seattle was for Thursday.. Jana's wedding! It was so pretty. The reception by the lake was amazing. I've never seen her so happy. Congrats Jana, I love ya.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
