Change of Plans...

Well I guess it is time to spill the beans...

My future schooling plans have been changed a bit. I won't be transferring to The University of Utah until I get my associates degree from Utah State. (December I will have my associates) It was probably one of the hardest things I have had to deal with in the past couple of months. Life has been THAT GOOD TO ME lately. After a few tears and talks with my parents, I realized that things happen for a reason and everything will fall into place. I am in the process of changing my attitude and mindset, it isn't going to be easy. It will take time, but its going to be a great semester filled with new friends and experiences. Its all good!

Happy Stuff.

I was thoroughly enjoying my raspberries, so I decided to capture the moment and take a picture of one of my favorite fruits! I usually don't buy an item from the grocery store if its over 3-4 dollars. These could be 10$ and I would buy them without hesitation.

It was Addi's bridal shower this past weekend and I had to miss it due to work. Whats new right? Just kidding I act like my life is so rough, its a breeze. Anyways, I decided to get a little creative with my gift so I started thinking. Marriage...husband and wife...love...no more rules...yes, SEX is next. So there is a cake called "Better Than Sex" and so I transformed the name to "Probably Not Better Than Sex Cake." I thought it was clever. If nobody else got a kick out of it, I SURE DID. 

These would be my two 100 point exams I have taken during this class. (Research Methods/Stats 2020) Scored 81% on the first, and increased my final test score by .5% hahaha! My professor gave it to me and said, "WELL! Are you pleased with it?" I answered, "Well I did slightly improve, my score didn't decrease, and I am done with summer school so YES I am pleased." She just laughed and said, "That is a true statement, well done." YIPEE!

THE CONCRETE JUNGLE ADVENTURE! Logan has a few hidden secrets that I have come across...

1. This good mexican restaurant that looks like crap on the outside.

2. Amazing roads to get lost on with my bike.

3. The side door of my apartment lobby(where laundry and gym is at) it always open. Yes, I have been locked out and in desperate need of my laundry.

4. Angie's really is the heart of Logan. Country Skillet Breakfast for days.

5. The Concrete Jungle. In the picture above, you can see a road in the top right corner. That is the road entering the mouth of Logan Canyon. Its a long ways down!

We went to town on this place. 4 cans of spray paint went fast! We had a little too much fun making our own creations..and maybe destroying others. hahaha! 

This is Mariah and I sophomore year of high school at a football game. I had that #5 painted on my face and oh my gosh did I feel cool. I was jealous of Mariahs curls from day one, and the first day she met me she nicknamed me superman thanks to my rad t-shirt. We played volleyball all 3 years together and senior year we were team captains! So many memories with this girl and I never thought this day would come so soon but...SHE IS GETTING MARRIED!!! :)

I was dropping Stevee off at conditioning this morning and Mariah's parents run the conditioning, I saw Mariah out there and freaked out! I wasn't planning on getting out of my car in those spandex/underwear haha but I couldn't NOT JUMP ON HER AND CONGRATULATE her. Her ring is beautiful, I am seriously so happy for her.

Drove home last night to take care of my sick mommy since my dad left out of town for work. Then went to the Weber State fireworks with this boy. It was such a good time. I am so lucky!! 

P.S. Banana Slurpee's are delicious.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK:

-I finish school tomorrow night.

-Get to go home Wednesday night-Saturday morning.

-Going to Park City with Stevee on Friday for a photoshoot.

LOVE YOU ALL :)

My 19th Fourth of July Went Like This...

So I am taking a different approach to this blog post for a few reasons:

1. Looking at these pictures individually makes me laugh or think of certain thoughts...

2. I don't want to forget these random facts about these photos and I don't really think anyone reading this would be opposed to getting the inside scoop.

....... Which leads me to another thought. WHO READS MY BLOG? I always wonder that. I hope it is entertaining and inviting haha! So the format I am going to follow goes something like this, I'll post a picture and then write down the first thing that comes to mind that nobody would expect happened either before, during, or after the picture was taken! :)

Some background information:
Carson & I drove up to Bear Lake last Wednesday night after I got off work. Spent the weekend up there with my family, and a few of Stevee's friends. The weekend included: boating, four-wheeling, wake-boarding, tubing, laying out, watching fireworks, sleeping like sardines on our boat, jet-skiing, hiding from storms, almost crashing our boat, eating good food and ice cream, and getting to know each other on a whole new level. hahaha!

-Minutes before this picture there was a loud siren going off. People all around us on the dock were saying it was a tornado warning. Well, I am not quite sure if that was true but it WAS a warning to all boats out on the lake to get their butts in the marina before it got worse. 

-My hair was slicked up in a high bun because the wind was annoying, so after looking at the first one and deciding I looked like a drowned rat I took my hair out for this picture haha!

-Also...We were in the middle of eating hotdogs and hamburgers when we took this beauty :)

-See that cute red hat I am sporting? Yeah, I got it at Walmart for 2$...that isn't even the best part... the velcro strap is all the way loosened and it was still too tight. I have a big head.

-Carson was probably annoyed of me so he was on his phone checking instagram or something. Loser.

-Seconds before we took this picture we were on the top of the boat dancing to Michael Jackson and a few others.

-Stevee does not have lipstick on..her lips are just fried. I can't lie, mine are pretty bad too.

-Before he could indulge that piece of RED licorice...he had to dig for a good 3 minutes in a "family party bag" of black and red licorice. WE ALL LOVE THE RED. We need to quit buying those dang bags...they are frustrating.

-So we were playing a game on the boat, "pick a song any song." Between Carson, my dad and I we brought some great tunes to the lake. This picture was taken after my dad played "Everything I Own" by Bread and he definitely dedicated it to Miss. We jammed to that song SOPHOMORE year on our way to a bball tourny in SLC with my dad being our driver and #1 supporter :)

-I told Sister Hadfield what we did this weekend ... she appreciated it :)

-Neat scenery right? Well we didn't just HAPPEN to come across this lighthouse. We actually were on the hunt for a good spot my mom could shoot a family at Saturday night. We were driving along the road and told her to pull over for a picture.

-Carson told Stevee to hop on his shoulders...her weird pose in this picture is because she is so happy she is on someones shoulders. "Really Carson? I can't remember the last time I was on someones shoulders" she said. I felt awkward so I latched onto his arm and threw up that infamous peace sign. 

-This picture goes along nicely with the previous picture. This was in the back of my moms BMW and that cute smile Stevee has on...is 100% fake. Okay, so is mine. She is sitting on the rock-hard cup holder. I am cheesin' it way too hard. Oh and you can see up my nostrils. Cute stace, cute!

-Carson is literally obsessed with his sunglasses. He knows I like when I can see his eyeballs, so he wears them even more on purpose. He thinks he is funny (he totally is).

-It seemed like a good idea to hold up 4 fingers (for the fourth of July), now I realize it looks real dumb. Glad we did it together hahaha!

-That cute sweater I have on...happens to be from the 80's. Which also happens to be from my moms closet. I let Carson pick from the 20 hoodies I have and he chose that one.

-Stevee claims she found this sweater in my moms closet so it is half hers, half my moms. I bet Carson a calf massage Stevee would say something when I wore it...She didn't! She is maturing! I had to give him a massage. 

-This was after we ate our last dinner up there at Coopers in Bear Lake West. I actually put on mascara and lip gloss, Cars said "Stac you look nice." He mentioned that he is so used to seeing me in basketball shorts, t-shirts with no makeup so when I do get ready he likes it! (That is sad on my part, I have been slacking. haha)

-I told him to let me down because I felt 20 lbs heavier after eating my chicken pesto alfredo, he then said he felt like he was dragging one of his elk off the mountain. Um YES. I just got compared to a full grown elk. Awesome. hahahahahaha. 

-This sequence of pictures is great. The first one I am trying SO HARD TO KEEP SERIOUS. I also managed to get Carson to take off his glasses off...excuse me, lift them up for .5 seconds. 

-After the first shot, I grabbed Max and said oh we need our son in the picture!!..Carson goes as far as naming the dog (our son) after one of his friends. I lost it. I seriously can't get myself together half the time I'm around him.  We pulled it together for the third picture doesn't Max look dapper?! :) 

Needless to say, I wouldn't of had this past weekend any other way. Life is so good!
