Leap Day

This thought came to my mind at 11:30...

Why didn't I Propose to my

 boyfriend on Leap Day in Ireland?!

 Wow I am an idiot! I have been

 waiting for leap day forever!
 Today was the only day that girls can
 rightfully propose to their boyfriends;
it's an old irish tradition! I really

 should have taken that opportunity.

 oh well, maybe next

 leap year.;)

I had a great leap day though,

 I had a very long day at school/work!

 My dad came into the salon

 and surprised me with

3 letters from Sam!

I felt like such an idiot

 and started crying! I was

 so happy that on a stupid holiday such

 as Leap Day someone was still looking out for me

 and making me feel important! 

Out with the Old, In with the New

New Honda CRV 2011

Today my family bought a brand new car! Normally I would be excited because haha it's a new beautiful car...but I don't want to except this change. I may or may not have cried a few tears when my parents brought home the new family car... we have had the old 2000 red excursion since 4th grade! That is the car that taught me how to drive, and crash into the garage, carry more garbage on the floor than I thought was possible, become a pro parker, and get a whopping 10 or less miles to the gallon. My family cars made us very patriotic, but now we lost our red, so I guess black will have to do instead. I learned to love that car! I have been through 2 moves and countless vacations jamming to tunes with the windows down.  It is going to be weird trying to learn to love another car, especially with killer gas mileage and a sun roof.  

Cars carry us around in all of our memories! But change is part of life, so out with the old, and in with the new!

"Bootie Whop"

"Let's do this thing!"

Here we go baby!!! I am coming back and I'm coming back strong! I am going for my bikini body!!! This bootie is going to get whipped into shape! I worked out tonight with Jill and Steph and I swear I was going to die, but it was amazing! This is my year! If I am going to fit into a bikini and feel good in it this is the best year to do it! I owe this to myself!! My favorite part about working out to a video is that you can scream at the t.v.! haha Working out was awesome!! I missed it bad! But here we go, all out and victoria secret style! By summer time I am fitting myself into this bikini! All in favor say "I" Here we go!!!


Game Plan:
1. Work out for at least 60 minutes 6 days a week!
2. Cut down on sugar and eat like a health monster
3. Do Body cleanses and wraps
4. Use personal affirmations to jump start my mind
5. Buy the bikini and hang it in my room as motivation!
6. Allow myself one "free" meal a week 
7. Weekly weigh-ins and measurements

Let's Go to The Bea-c-h!

Vegas was beautiful!!! We walked the strip for a few hours. I don't think I have seen so much porn in my life! I was definitely not used to that! I feel like we lived the night described in Katy Perry's songs! Vegas was a blast! One of the best parts of this trip though was the last minute decision at midnight to drive all the way to L.A. We pulled an all nighter and rolled into Cali around 4! We went straight to the beach where we watched the sun rise! We met some funny guys and went to breakfast! We drove all the way back to St. George the next morning!  Such a last minute thing, but so fun!

Bowling Dirty

Today was a great day full of swimming, and watching movies. We now have 4 girls staying in the condo! We just got back from the best game of bowling ever! We bowl dirty! Especially when we have bumpers! We all made up our own inside joke names. We had our own cheer and everything! I think everybody in the bowling alley was super weirded out by us. haha We followed bowling with a big ice cream from Iceberg. Fun night!

Vacation!!!

Hello St. George!!!! 

I am so excited for this 5 day weekend! Warm weather, swimming, laying out, otter pops, bowling, anti-gravity, spinny park, late night movies, girl talk, and shopping!

Today we drove 4 hours to St. George! We jammed to every kind of music with the 3 of us in the front seat of a Buick! It is so warm!! I am going to lay out or roll around town chillin' with the radio on and windows down! Happy Weekend!!

Load and Explode!

Today I learned a good lesson and that is not to let people walk all over you! Some people are going to be jerks and say rude things or give you nasty looks, but sometimes brushing it off isn't good enough. I had a situation at school tonight that caused me to stand up and not let people walk all over me just because they were having a rotten day! It was totally out of my comfort zone to say something back, but I just have to say it felt amazing! My favorite teacher at school told me she was proud of me and sometimes you have to teach people how to treat you and expect nothing less! People are like garbage cans; they load and load until they explode and you never know when you'll be the dump! 
Important thing is to not let people walk all over you and make you feel like you're their punching bag! Stand strong and call them out, then Kill them with kindness! 

"You are worth what you think you are worth in life, and if you think you're worth two cents, people will treat you like you're two cents."

Peach Roses

Today I received the sweetest thing! I heard a knock on the front door and to my utmost surprise it was a big bouquet of peach colored roses! I have the sweetest boyfriend who doesn't ever forget to remind me I am not single! haha I feel like an idiot now because I didn't get him a thing!  Thanks for the reminder Sammy that will sit on my desk all week! 

I am so lucky to have him in my life! He is seriously the best thing that ever happened to me! I love him! Have an awesome Valentine's Day!

 "God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you."

-Blake Shelton

Happy Valentines Day!

I am so thankful for all of the broken, dead end roads I have been down that lead me to where I am. At times I was heart broken and discouraged, but in reality it lead me directly to where I am and who I am supposed to be with now.

"Love is what you've been through with somebody."

-James Thurber

So even though my someone is 7000 miles away this year on Valentine's Day, I know that I am not lonely! I am happier than I have ever been in my life because of him. He's the peanut butter to my ice cream! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day full of love!
