the weekend.

This weekend has been so much fun! Kristina came down from Idaho Thursday and stayed for the weekend. We made a pretty sweet video.





Then Toni, Kristina, and I all went down to Centerville and while they visited my aunt I went to the JUSTIN BIEBER Concert with Crystal! Now some may think I'm odd for going to his concert but it was so amazing. He's so cute! Oh don't worry I turned into one of those screaming little 10 year girls. I fit right in.







After the concert everyone met up at Crystal's house and we just hung out and we shared the wonderful pictures and videos from the concert with Toni, Kristina, and Amanda. While sitting around and talking, Crystal busted out this super low voice. After hours of laughter we all fell asleep and then we went to church with Crystal's family the next morning.





After church Toni, Kristina, and I drove the long hour and 15 minutes home. I had to work that night which really sucked, it was so busy! But made for good tip money. When I got home from work we all watched the movie House Bunny. Then stayed up til 5 in the morning editing the music video. Around 3 A.M. we needed a break so where when you need a break from making an amazing music video? Burger King of course.







Waking up many hours later we just sat around and did nothing then finally decided to go see the movie Despicable Me and get a bunch of food and have a dance party. So we did. Although we were all too tired to dance so it didn't last that long and plus it was way hot in our apartment so we went in our backyard and just laid on the grass and chilled. Before the movie Kristina and I attempted to take some artsy looking photos. Hers turned out much better than mine.











The next morning Toni and I went over to Kristen and Jamie's apartment and had a wonderful lunch filled with laughter and good conversation. Those two girls are so funny! After that Kristina left and went back home to Idaho. After her visit and after hanging out with Crystal and Amanda it has made me so excited for the Fall, because they'll all be up here and they won't be living too far from me. I can't wait!

graveyard adventures.

If you can't be a pine
On the top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley
But be the best little scrub
By the side of the rill.
Be a bush
If you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a highway
Then just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun
Be a star.
If you can't be a Muskee
Then just be a Bass
But the liveliest Bass
In the lake.
We can't all be Captains
Some have to be Crew
But be the best
Of whatever you are.

Toni and I went for a walk around campus as we passed the cemetery we decided to go in and look around. Some may find it a little odd and strange that we would just want to spend our evening in the graveyard but it's actually really cool and the longer I was there the more I wanted to know about these people, what they would have looked like, what their personalities were like, what their dreams were, how they lived their life, what caused them to end up here; in this place. A lot of the ones that we saw that were older couples made me want to know how they met how they ended up getting married. Some that really got to me were little infants that died 2 months after they were born or ones that would be my age now. There was one that was born on June 10th, 1990 and died the same day. As I stood there staring at that gravestone and studying that date I slowly realized, oh June 10th that's today, how sad. But wait it's on there twice so that means she died on the same day, she only lived for a few hours. Wait look at the date. 1990. she's my age. A month younger than me, she would have been 20 today. Then all these things went through my head of how she could be living the college life, she could have been my roommate, in my ward, some great. who knows.




Clearly this man LOVED his wife. he ADORED her. Makes me wish I knew them, they probably did a lot of fun things together and I bet they were a way cute couple. I hope to one day meet and marry a man who will treat me like a queen.

letters to a lost loved one.

It's not a cemetery without crows.

accomplished.

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks where you just feel accomplished? I feel like this past week has been been like that. I mean nothing major has happened and I haven't really done any kind huge accomplishments like running a 25 mile marathon or swam across the ocean but I just feel good and happy, you know accomplished even though I haven't done anything really.
Last Monday I went down to Provo to visit my wonderful sister Chelsea and we hiked the Y. The view was so beautiful, it was a good day to go hiking that's for sure. You definitely don't see that kind of view in Ohio. I haven't seen Chelsea for awhile so it was nice to hangout with her and just have fun. I love that girlie so much! I wish I saw more of her. Then I went home Tuesday afternoon and then worked Friday and Saturday. Friday was the busiest night that Gia's has ever had since they re-opened in February. It was so crazy, Saturday was steady and chill nothing crazy like Friday. Sunday was Sunday peaceful and happy. It was nice and sunny so Megan and I went on a walk down to the temple and we just laid on the grass on the temple grounds and just talked and hung out. And now it's Monday again and my sister Toni gets back from Germany in about 3 hours, so I'm about to leave to go pick her up! I'm so excited to see her again. Last time I saw her was exactly a month ago today. So I can't wait.

oh yeeeah.

I would like to thank Megan Williams for getting me a JOB at Gia's Restaurant. Yes that's right I have a job! I'm now a server. My first day is tomorrow and I'm totally freaking out! Mainly because the entire menu is in Italian so I have to learn how to pronounce everything and what comes with what dish. It was pretty neat though because one of the owners asked me if I was in school and I said "No, not yet but I'm thinking about Culinary Arts in the fall" and he was like "Oh okay, well we have an opening as a cook so if your interested you could help out in the kitchen at times." And of course I said yes. So next Sunday I'm going to be in the Kitchen helping make little things like smoothies and desserts. That's what I'm most excited about! Now I just need to enroll myself in a Culinary Arts school Ü. Although I wish I didn't have to work on Sunday's that really stinks. This job is only part time and I need something full time to be able to pay bills and what not so I'm going to have to look for a morning job. But at least I have this one that will help out a lot!

I'm so grateful to have been able to get a job. Before moving to Logan everyone told me it's really hard to find a job out here and I didn't believe them. I thought that they just weren't trying hard enough and that since I was moving out here once everyone was going home for the summer I would find a job with in a week of me moving out here. But I was wrong and everyone was so right, it's hard to find a job out here. But thankfully I found one and I'm very happy!
