i just love my best friends so much. they mean the world to me & i don't know what i would do without them. they are always there for me & i can always count on them. these are the people that i spent every summer night with. these are the people who were there for me 24/7. these are the people that i can completely trust. i do everything & anything with them. i miss how we would all gather at quin's, or logan's, or just around the neighborhood every night. now that summer quickly turned into school once again, we still make the greatest memories & have the funnest times together. i can't even describe my love for them & how grateful i am for all of them. love you guys & i couldn't ask for greater friends.

sometimes, i can't believe that i'm in high school right now. i always thought about the day, & how excited i was for it when i was younger. but now that i'm actually there, its just crazy. but i love it. its been so much fun.

being with ken. (even though she's still at the jr. high, wah)

going to school with this girl has been the greatest.

going staged to homecoming was the best.

high school has done me well...so far.

 

every time is see this picture, it makes me want to cry. i can honestly say i have never seen anything more beautiful in my whole entire life. my life goal is to get there & i know it will all be worth it if i make it there. i couldn't be more grateful for the gospel in my life & and for the temples we have so close to us. its the greatest feeling in the world.

peace.

summer is now gone and i couldn't be more sad about it. it was a great summer. lots of good memories were made & and many fun events took place. so here is to you summer 2012. here's to boating at youth conference, the ranch, cousins, weddings, best friends, strawberry days, girls camp, camping, sleepovers, best friends, disneyland. thank you for making it a perfect summer.

(picture overload warning)

oh hey place where dreams come true..

see you in 3 days.

this weekend we took a trip up to the good ole' american fork canyon for a family picnic. we blasted some katy perry & took hilarious model photos. it was gorgeous up there & i just loved it.

my niece is the cutest.

so good.

Sometimes, we think our lives are horrible because of one situation or one person that brings us down, when really it should be bringing us up. Some situations make us stronger & some make us weaker. But lately i have been thinking about life & how great it is. I mean think about it, it really is so so perfect. Yes, sometimes we mess up, or we get our heart broken, or we lose someone really close to us, but when you look on the bright side, we have it so good. We live in a beautiful country surrounded by amazing friends & family & an amazing gospel & education. I really couldn't ask for anything better. Yeah, i dream of living on a beach in Hawaii. Yeah, I wish my mom could walk. Yeah, i wish school would never start. But no, instead i'm surrounded by beautiful mountains & amazing people & a great life. We wish for many things & want many things to work out in our life, but we need to realize that we have it grrrreat. I am so thankful for everything & everyone in my life. I am so thankful for the trials i have been through that has made be the person i am today. Even though everyday is a new struggle, i couldn't ask for a better life.
