day twenty

list 10 people that have influenced your life. and how.

1. mom and dad- they kind of count as one. they are the perfect example of love, hard work, and understanding. i honestly got blessed with amazing parents that seriously teach me everyday. they have made me realize how lucky i am, blessed, and completely adequate in everything that i do. they have always done everything possible to ensure our family has what we need. i just hope i can be half as awesome as them one day. 

2. nanay gloria- if you dont know my grandma she is literally the most incredible woman on the planet. she loves unconditionally, does anything for her family and is exactly who i want to be like when im older. she has taught me its okay to cry sometimes, its great to love life, its totally okay to be stressed, but mostly shes taught me to love the gospel. 

3.nanay betty- she is so spiritual, so giving, and so amazing. she believes in praying for everything and anything. if you have faith then it can happen. she is one lady that i can call when im upset and she always knows exactly what to say. i hope that part of her stays with me and i can be like her as well. 

4. tanner chauncey- he is perfect. he tries his best always and genuinely cares about people. his decision to serve a mission has truly inspired me to be stronger in the gospel for us. it will be hard enough with him gone for two years but i know that we will be blessed if we strive to have a good relationship with heavenly father. he is a hard worker, and super smart. i just love him for everything he has done for me and our relationship. 

5. kevin kloeker- he has impacted my life big time. he was my student council advisor and has taught me SO much. he helps me to realize that i need to change what i can, help others, and make peoples lives better. he gets as excited for things in my life as i do, and he helps me out whenever i need it. he has helped so many people and i hope i can one day do the same and impact someone as much as he has to me. 

6. kaycee lee- she is my best friend forever. she has been there for everything. she never judges, always listens, and knows exactly what to say when i need advice. we understand each other and have to tell each other everything. we are connected forever and no one will ever take her place. she is truly one of the most incredible girls ive ever met. 

7. mad, jake, cruz and mar- they are my best friends. i miss them every single day, think about them and only want whats best for them. they mean the absolute world to me. my siblings and i are truly best friends. we are super close, love each other lots and they will continue to be people that i will always turn to when i need a good laugh, hug, or anything else. 

   

    

8. brittany peterson- she is truly like the big sister i always wanted but never had. she is family. she knows what to say and can always lift my spirits. she tells it how it is and never sugar coats anything. i love her lots and am truly blessed to call her sis. 

9. landon & quan- they are my protectors. the best guys i know and some of my best friends. (i know i have like 10 best friends- they all mean that much that they cant be labeled as anything else) but i know i can count on them. a simple text from either of them make my day. i know they always have my back. i love them forever. 

10. i have so many others i could just write about. if youre not listed- i still love you :)

wowww.

its been TWO weeks since ive blogged. that is terrrrrible. i am such a lazy bum lately. sorry- its summer. can ya blame me?

my life consists of work, hanging out with tanner, and soon tanning and swimming. i dont do much up here in utah. just bored- so someone come visit me. thatd be just great.

a few things have happened since i last blogged, my BEST BEST BEST friend in the entire world got engaged. i am beyond excited for kaycee and kade. even more excited that she is getting married in the temple. whats better than that?

kaycee and kade are coming up here next week and i cannot wait. tanner leaves back to vegas on monday. i just have too much on my mind right now. hahahaha byeeee.

this is really real.

so i suck at blogging lately. but life has lots going on. LOTS. 

on friday night- tanner opened his mission call. hes going to Joao Pessoa, Brazil- Portuguese speaking. He was originally supposed to leave october 10th- mine and his moms birthday. but now he is leaving july 18th.

70 short days. he'll head to the provo MTC and begin this journey. i honestly could not be happier for him. i am a strong believer in missions. i know that they will bless lives tremendously and i am really excited to write him and send him goodies. lots of my friends have said this is crazy. tanner serving a mission is nuts. two years is a long time. but i know that the church is true. i know that tanner will have a hand in many lives and bring them to the gospel. the gospel is perfect and i am blessed to have tanner in my life. he'll be an amazing missionary. the work he'll do will be a huge blessing in his life. i love him more than anything and i am so glad that he made the decision to serve a mission.

baseball....

is slowly taking over my life. hahah but thats completely okay with me. i plan my life around the games that i need to watch and i honestly cant complain.  i love the sport and i love supporting important people in my life. this weekend BYU played USF in san francisco. i was originally supposed to be there but thanks to current events i couldnt go. i supported anyway like i always do thanks to online game watching and a game tracker. i dont think i blogged about it before-- but in seattle tanner got hurt. he has had problems with his hamstring but he pulled/tore (minor) it again and was out for a few games. thanks to rehab and medicine he got healthy real quick and was able to play in two of the three games in san fran. hes a beast and im glad that he healed up so quickly.

he still has the highest batting average as a freshman and is pretty much awesome :) i havent seen him in about a week and im excited for him to be home tomorrow.

i love my cougar and im excited to see him play 4 times this week!! :) im really sad that i wont be able to go home to see madilynne go to her junior prom but i cant make it home :( sorry sis! i still love you. also ive probably failed to mention that i am in idaho. haha deejmbl invited me to come home with her for the weekend and its been really fun :)

we went to a wedding reception & here is our photobooth pictures. were real cute we know :) so now im sitting here watching my best friend play in his major league debut against the LA dodgers. through the years bryce has been the guy i could go to whenever i needed to talk about anything and hes been one of the only people ive been able to count on throughout the years and i am grateful we are still friends after all this time. 

weve been friends since we were 5 and now hes playing in the majors. im beyond happy for him and proud. when i was texting him yesterday i just kept telling him how happy i was for him and its crazy that this is actually happening. ive been rooting for him forever and now its reality. i know great things are to come. hes been working for this his entire life. hopefully tanner and i can see him play soon since we werent able to be there this weekend. i will see him play this summer forsure. 

oh and just btw- tanners call will be here SO soon. i am seriously freaking out. where will he go?! i just wanna know so bad. i wanna know how far- how much postage is- when exactly he'll leave. just everything. it hasnt hit me yet that he will know where he is going so soon- but once he opens his call ill be so numb. my body is shutting down as i type. haha. i just dont know how im supposed to handle it. ha can he just go and come back already? thatd be great. 

k bye.
