giving thanks

i spent thanksgiving in idaho with my family.
it was so great.
i was very thankful that i made it to idaho after my five hour drive.
i stayed with my grandma and spent the day with her my cousins and
my aunt and uncles. i love thanksgiving getting to spend the whole day with
my family and eating food.

i even participated in black friday this year{it was surprisingly fun}
i went to wal mart with my friends at midnight and we got in line to buy tv's
and had to wait until 5 a.m.
and i discovered that it is impossible to fall asleep on the wal mart floor.
the only thing i bought this year was a couple of cheap movies.
maybe next year i will be more adventurous and go shopping at the mall.

i hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

i love the snow!!

snow and i have always had a great relationship, it used to get me out of school{which was greatly appreciated, because i usually needed the extra day for my homework}
it made my house and all the houses around look so much better like they should have been in a christmas movie.
snow also helped me get into the christmas spirit i think i t makes the world look so calm, peaceful, and beautiful.
snow and i have never really gotten in a fight before, we have had our spats. like when i am already late for school but have to scrape off the windshield, when the road was slick and i had to avoid hitting a dog so i spun off the road. but snow always has a way of redeeming itself, even though my car went off the road the snow stopped us from hitting anything.

however i fear that if i can not make it to idaho for thanksgiving because the snow has closed the roads, this may be our first actual fight{first fights are usually the worst} i just hope that snow and i can make it through this rough patch and i will safely be able to make it home to my family whom i love and miss.

also i hope all family and friends that are still traveling will make it home to their loved ones
Good Luck

Spreading the Love...

so i normally have to work on sundays, and its lame
but today i finally had one off{yay!!} and so
i went to church, in the 3 months i have lived here
today was only my 3rd sunday going{because of work}
and after sacrament meeting i was waiting in the hallway
for some people i know so that we could go to sunday school.
and as i stood there some guy i don't even know
{actually i had never even seen him before}
came up to me and hugged me...

and as my mom said "at least they noticed you were there instead of
ignoring you"
hmmmmmm
i am still not sure what to think of this odd interaction...

love it

i LOVE this picture. the photographer was amazing.

i love nice people.

today i had to work
and when i got off
i was waiting for my friend
kelsey to get off so me her
and yuly could go get fro yo.
a girl came in to eat and she was
in a super cute outfit, since i was

i loved her outfit and thought
she looked way cute. she thanked
me and replied that she had
gotten all her clothes from

Olive Garden

so i love italian food{i mean seriously who doesn't}
i really like to eat at the olive garden its pretty much the best.
i used to work at the olive garden in idaho falls and that was so much
i loved it the people were awesome and my managers were great!
now that i have moved to salt lake city i now work at the west valley olive garden.
and it is fun i work with some pretty cool people and the managers are good.
i think the best thing about working there is the discount that i get{it basically
rocks my world} and it is only five minutes away from my school!
oh yeah so i am going to everest college it is a tech school in west valley.
i start on september 17 and i couldn't be more excited!
