shower the bride!

megan brocks "clayton girls" bridal shower.
so fun
and so good to see those i hadn't seen for a while
like these girls:

as megan opened her gifts
whoever gave her the gift was supposed to
give marriage advice
or share a memory.
naturally i did not give marriage advice
and shared how megan whipped me with licorice
and choked me with gold fish
good times:)

but the best marriage advice that was given was:
"when you fight, fight naked because it won't last long! you can't help but laugh!"
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha
nice.. hahaahaha...
yay for marriage:)

13!

taylor swifts lucky number
if you didn't know!

so here's a great story.
roomate annie wanted to surprise best friend elsa
with tay swift tickets.
problem is
best friend elsa live in idaho for school.
so how do we get best friend elsa to come to salt lake?
we tell her that boyfriend trent cheated on roomate annie
and roomate annie is a mess
and needs best friend elsa to comfort her.
sure enough best friend elsa scurried to salt lake
to be surprised with tay swift tickets and homemade shirts
that annie and i made for them!

then me and best friend addison
went to the energy solution arena to find
scalper tickets.
sure enough we did and

best friend addison took me to
the tay swift concert.

WHAT A BEST FRIEND!
it was amazing
tay was amazing.

and "i had the time of my life with you"
LONG LIVE! <3

on a positive note!

my mouth hurts:
BUT my teeth will stay straight.
worth the pain.

i lost my wallet:
BUT roomate annie and me said a prayer that we would find it
[luckily i have this blog to backtrack my steps]
and i remembered the last time i had it
and i told my mom to look for it
and there it was!

i want to throw up:
because i hiked to the Y
and it was hard..

BUT i did it!

i made it to the Y.

and i made a Y on the Y :]

my clock broke:
its still broken
BUT things are turning around for me

im so glad tuesday is leaving me on a positive note!


in other news
annie found out she's ciliac.
no gluten for her :[:[
but she'll make it through!

not my day.

my mouth hurts:
because i wore my retainer again
 for the first time in 4 months

i lost my wallet:
because i never spend money
or drive anymore i didnt use it much
and now i cant find it

i want to throw up:
because i hiked the Y
but i didn't eat very much today
and that's a steep hike

my clock broke:
because who knows why
but it frustrates me
because i always look at it..

my first math test today.
i studied fairly well.
i prayed too!
sooo... the test was like 25 questions long.

...

the 2nd councelor in my home ward bishopric
passed away this week.
Greg Stepen fought through 6 months of liver disease and cancer
before his passing.
he was a really great man
with an amazing family.
I got really close to his daughter, Allison Kaye Stepen
at girls camp.
his family is really strong and i admire them so much

his funeral was today, and it was really sweet.
it was fun to hear about his childhood
i didnt know him on a personal level
but i learned how caring and loving he was.
it definitely showed through his family.
luckily we have the knowledge that we can be with our families
forever
but it still hurts.
and thats ok.
my heart and prayers goes out to his family..


on to the next tragic event..
the byu utah game..

........

at least the tailgate was fun.

a tooth fairy party!

after mine and annie's photography lab class,
we helped a friend of annie's
with her little daughters birthday party

it was tooth fairy themed.
such a fun idea!

i miss being around little kids so much!
funny story-
one little girl asked me and annie if we were sisters.
so we said yes, and that we were twins,
and she said, oh good. you look alike!
and then another girl said,
wait, are you sisters?
and the first girl said
uh! ya duh! they look the same!
hahaha it was so cute
me and annie are sisters:]

i sure miss being in a preschool every day!
just reminds me how much i want to be a teacher.
