a little here and some more on the way.

i actually didn't fall off the face of the earth... no matter how much you want to believe it.

i am still alive and well.

if you care.

i could've gone on a date, but instead, i went to the temple. a man there said some pretty cool things that made me know i chose the right.

he said, "you guys could be anywhere, but because you came here, Heavenly Father will bless you."  

also, i got  compliment on how firm my handshake was.

daddy was proud. he taught his daughter right.

my mother is my best friend. she doesn't get enough credit for the million things she does. we agree on a lot of the same things. we vent to each other about everything that's on our minds. she gives me awesome advice. we laugh more than we text or call each other. and i love texts from her and calls during her breaks.

i found a paper of my wedding dreams from months and months ago. it reads, "enormous poofy dress." that is still on my wish list. but looking at pinterest, many ideas on that paper have changed. from black to gray from center pieces to food! i know, i am 18, but a girl cn dream, right?

i enjoyed my time up in the mountains this spring break. i really loved the time i got to spend with little liza. i don't ever get to see her as much as the other kiddos. she has a personality that is so stinkin adorable.

les not forget the others though, i love my little nieces and nephew. being an aunt is the best! those kids are so special and all have something that i am crazy about.
