DAY ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN ... 26 April 2009

I hate it when friends leave for long periods of time. So sad. My dear friend Bryon Danielson (from my ward) is joining the ranks of summer sales and will be gone for the next four months. On a better note, my amazing gf Paola is back (...for now...)!

DAY ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN ... 25 April 2009

Perhaps you should not ask. I doubt I could tell you because I'd be laughing too much.

DAY ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN ... 24 April 2009

Congrats to Ashley and Rob! My friend Ashley Youd married Rob Lee today and I got to go to her wedding reception. She looked gorgeous and they seem happy together. And what's even better is I got to catch up with one of my besties Alicia Briscoe. She is the best! Love you girls!

DAY ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN ... 23 April 2009

Just taking care of Miranda. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED TWELVE ... 22 April 2009

I am so grateful that our gorgeous flowers survived the freak snow storm last week. I just love them!

DAY ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN ... 21 April 2009

I'll never forget late night Betos, "We ran out of water", and only one fork for two meals. All after an amazing ward temple night. Life is good (even if Betos really isn't so good afterall).

DAY ONE HUNDRED TEN ... 20 April 2009

I am not worthy of how amazing my boyfriend is sometimes. I got off work and called him while I was driving and complained to him for ten minutes about how lame my day was and how tired I was feeling. And then I got home and found presents and flowers and an amazing letter all from him!!! I felt like a huge jerk but am soooo thankful that he loves me in spite of my sometimes selfishness. He knows just how to make me feel great and show me he loves me. XOXO

DAY ONE HUNDRED NINE ... 19 April 2009

I love when the sun is shining and the sky is blue and the weather is warm, but we still have the beauty of the snow on the mountains. We are so blessed. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED EIGHT ... 18 April 2009

Life is feeling so much better these days. Such a blessing. Dave and I got to take some time to just get away and spend time together without worrying about school or anything else. We drove up the canyon and ended up walking around Sundance. It was sooo beautiful! The sun went down and it was snowy and we were the only people there, so it was super relaxing. I was smart enough to wear my flip-flops, but it surprisingly wasn't too cold. I'm thankful for Dave and how he can help me relax and count my blessings. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED SEVEN ... 17 April 2009

I pretty much just want to crawl under a table and stay there for awhile. I know life is hard sometimes but I hate how it just comes upon you so randomly and in ways that you feel like you can't endure. It makes me grateful for the amazing life I usually lead. My life is really nothing out of the ordinary, but I am so blessed. And I know the Lord will help me overcome everything placed in front of me. I just don't like how it affects everyone else around me. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED SIX ... 16 April 2009

I am sure I should be happy about the beautiful snow, but really. We were just getting some awesome flowers to start growing and then I wake up to this. *sigh* Day one hundred six was a really crappy day altogether. Cold and snow was definitely not helping. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED FIVE ... 15 April 2009

I was totally not expecting snow. At all. I even wore sandals to work and then had to leave at lunch to run an errand and waded through 4 inches of wet yucky slush. Brrrrrrrrr. This was taken from inside my car, not wanting to get back out. What happened to spring???

DAY ONE HUNDRED FOUR ... 14 April 2009

Flashback photo: 15 December 2008. This picture is special to me because it was the day Dave and I met. It was FHE, and we went Sub 4 Santa shopping at Wal-Mart. I was in a group with Dave because he was friends with a couple of my friends. He was the only boy in a group with 4 girls and we were buying girly stuff, but he was such a good sport and we had so much fun. I was attracted to him right away. We were sitting on this bench waiting for everything to be paid for and my friend Bryon came up and randomly wanted to take a picture of us on his phone, so he made us sit closer to each other. Dave went the extra mile and put his arm around me. We look so cute together! I have been asking Bryon for this pic for ages and he told me he deleted it but then he randomly found it on day one hundred four and sent it to me. Cheers!

DAY ONE HUNDRED THREE ... 13 April 2009

This brings back funny memories of Salt Lake, old people, and their ideas on slave labor. I love it.

DAY ONE HUNDRED TWO ... 12 April 2009

The Easter Bunny brought Dave some hott ties. Can't wait for him to wear them.

DAY ONE HUNDRED ONE ... 11 April 2009

Yes, we are doing homework. At the Salt Lake Library.

DAY ONE HUNDRED ... 10 April 2009

As I look up into the sky and see the temple spires reaching towards the heavens I can't help but feel that the Lord is near. The Gospel is true and is the greatest blessing we can ever have in our lives. 

DAY EIGHTY NINE ... 09 April 2009

Congrats to Dallin and (soon to be) Alicia Hutchinson! We went up to their reception in Bountiful, which they did the night before their sealing (which I also got invited too! Woot!). I am so grateful I got the chance to see them together and especially to see him so happy. I've seen him go through some pretty tough stuff and he deserves every minute of bliss in this marriage. And Ali is completely adorable. It's marriage season!

DAY NINETY EIGHT ... 08 April 2009

Angel food cake is divine, especially when coupled with fresh strawberries. (Thanks Chris!)

DAY NINTEY SEVEN ... 07 April 2009

Not gonna lie, I love love love this photo. It makes me happy. It was such a beautiful night, celebrating my dad's birthday and spending a few minutes outside in the nice weather. :)

DAY NINETY SIX ... 06 April 2009

That's hott. I love my boyfriend. 

DAY NINETY FIVE ... 05 April 2009

Wow. I have never loved a General Conference so much. I can't even describe what an amazing and spiritual day this has been. The entire day. I have received so many answers to prayers and just feel peace about a lot of things. And Elder Holland's talk on the Atonement was incredible. He is definitely one of my favourites ever. It doesn't hurt that I have met him before. He is truly a man of God. I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and have never loved it so much. 

DAY NINETY FOUR ... 04 April 2009

Girls Night Out (+ Rylan) at Paradise Bakery! It's a tradition that we go to dinner and watch a movie at home while the boys are at Priesthood session and this time we chose Paradise. It is sooo yummy. I love GNO and love my girls. 

DAY NINETY THREE ... 03 March 2009

Mission Reunion! I love these girls and love that the Australia Melbourne West Mission brings us together. (Laura Warner, me, Angela Ipson)

DAY NINETY TWO ... 02 April 2009

I got this little tidbit of good news today. I only have three more semesters left to get my Bachelors! I feel like it has taken me forever, but the end is in sight and it feels so good. 

DAY NINETY ONE ... 01 April 2009

Instead of pulling some crazy April Fools joke on Dave, I decided to be a good girlfriend and make him dinner so he could get more homework done. Yummmmmm.
