Serenity now!...WOOSAAAAA.

School

ANNOYING.

why must i go back? :(

Returned with honor!

My little brother, Reed, comes home today!!!! He's spent the last two years in Australia serving the Lord and spreading the good TRUE word. The time has literally flown by and I can't believe he'll be back so soon....like an hour and 10 minutes soon! Even though he's the baby in the family he's probably the most mature out of all of us. He's so smart and not just school smart (he's been known to get those 4.0s) but he's like smart with the decisions he makes. And he's so humble and faithful..if you know him..then you know what I'm talking about. He's a good example to everyone...even his OLDER siblings. :)  Time to go get him! Hope your day is as good as mine! ...but it probably isnt. :)

he's actually a really big nerd.

Gratitude Journal :)

A couple weeks ago I was in California. Here's some proof..

Hollywood sign was pretty neat-O to hike to.

Me and the sissy at Venice beach...was a crappy day but we got some cool shells and I was happy to feel the ocean and sand in my toes again.

While I was in California my mom called me one night. She was at home alone, bored, and apparently going through some old things in her room. She came upon a "gratitude" journal she had started waaaaaay back in 1998. The intention of her gratitude journal was to just list 5 things that she's grateful for daily. Being the mom that I've always known I wasn't surprised what the very first thing on her very first list was, she told me as she was laughing, "5 healthy, though sometimes quarrelsome children." It made me laugh too, we were some crazy children...and I think we still are! 

I know I'm starting a few days late but this being the month of Thanksgiving I've decided to begin my own gratitude journal and list daily 5 things I'm personally grateful for. I'll start it on here, but most likely will end up writing most days of it down in my actual journal since I'm not an everyday blogger! So here goes....

1. AJ and his patient love for me....he's always so nice to me even when I'm not nice to him. :/

2. CLOTHES.

3. My niece...she brings me so many smiles.

4. The way the earth looks during fall.

5. Socks.....it's been a cold day.

So there's my very first "gratefuls"! What's yours? :)

A decision must be reached.

I graduated with my Associates in Liberal Arts from Windward Community College this past May. And since life is about progression I obviously have to keep it moving. So for winter semester (this coming Jan.) I applied for BYU-Provo and BYU-Hawaii thinking I would surely get rejected from one, thus making my choice easy because I would have no choice but to go to the one I got accepted to.

AND THEN..

I got accepted to both. I would be all like YIPPEE!...if I was good at making decisions, but I AM NOT. Still a decision must be reached...and SOON...like end of this week soon. I am currently weighing the pros and cons but still hate having to choose.

sorry no pictures....i'm boring today :)

The zombies are coming!

This is what I looked like last Saturday.

me. Bridgette. Mele. Sarah.

And this is where we went.

The second annual night of the running dead 5k

It was such a fun thing to do. It was a 5k race to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. It's called The Night Of The Running Dead and when you registered for the race you registered as either a "human" or a "zombie" then when the race started the humans were given a 2 min head start so that it appeared as if zombies were chasing after the humans. It was super fun to see all the people dressed up and all the different ages that got into it. I would totally do this again. It's a good way to have fun while exercising as well!

we went to ask this girl to take a picture with us...but quickly discovered this she was a he :) lol so fun!

This guy was really into his character. Sticking to his raspy creepy voice and everything...I would have been scared of him had I not also been one of his kind.

The finish line. On the top it says "The End Is Here" 

I had so much fun being dead I think I want to do it again just for fun....I mean while it is still October! 

After the race they had water, oranges, and bananas.

Scarah and me :)

By the way being "dead" while driving to and from the race (held at the Utah State fairgrounds) was so much fun too. We scared people along our way and it was funny to see them laughing at us. Except I think we for real scared some little kids in cars...opps! 

Driving and listening to Britney Spears lol

My sisters make up was most scary I think. She looks like a psycho freak. 

Well everyone hope you're all having a spooktacular October and if you see a zombie coming your way you better RUN!
