St George

Last weekend we had a road trip and spent the weekend down in St George, Utah. It was perfect timing too- after we left they had a storm here in Rexburg. And it had cleared up just in time to welcome us back! Our trip was filled with good music, friends, Swig(if you have not been there you better put it on your to-do list), sarcasm, pictures, and good memories.

Stopped to check our Cove Fort. Way cool. Such a strong spirit there!

Sunday Brunch

There is a tradition that has been started with the roomies. Every weekend one of us picks a recipe, gets the ingredients, and we all cook together. I am quite fond of this tradition. It gives us a good chance to practice our holly homemaker skills and also eat some delicious comida. This week Brenna chose Coconut French Toast. (Thank you Pinterest!) The ingredients can be found here. They turned out bomb.com. Def won't be the last time they are made.

Do you have good traditions with family or friends?

What are some good recipes you want to try out?

HAPPY SUNDAY!

"Lucky I'm in love with my Best Friend"

Me hermano es CASADO!!! Can ya believe it?! I'm so happy for this boy. .. I mean man! He met the love of his life, Juanita, junior year of high school and now they are going to be together forever. It was such a beautiful night filled with smiles. I have never seen my brother happier. My heart is so full for these two to start the rest of their lives together. Best of wishes you two!!

(haha Steve)

"To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with."

-Mark Twain

beginning my future

I cannot believe I start college in a week! It's unreal- I'm 18, graduated, and about to be completely on my own. Making my own choices & learning life lessons.. I'm so excited to learn more about myself & make friendships that will last me a lifetime. This is supposedly the best time of life and I am going to live it to the fullest. This will be my new home soon!

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

GRADUATE

This is not the end. 

It is not even the beginning of the end. 

But it is, perhaps the end of the beginning

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. 

You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts.

You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. 

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt.

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. 

you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. 

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, 

live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Need a Smile?

Smile or your teeth will suffocate.

Orlando: The City Beautiful

This is what we went to Orlando for- to be business peeps. DECA is a club that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. At the beginning of the year all of us kids placed at state and had the wonderful opportunity to compete nationally (except Kaycie, she was a state officer & they go automatically). I worked on a Public Relations Project with the two boys. Sadly, we did not even make it through the first round at nationals but we were able to get over it and this stuff helped....

 

^^Quite entertaining
