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. 

day nineteen.

describe your most embarrassing moment.

i dont really get embarrassed all that easy. i have learned to laugh at myself when things happen. i honestly dont remember a single time where i was super embarrassed. i know that im a dork and i honestly dont care. haha :)

day eighteen.

describe 10 pet peeves you have.

1. crumbs on my hands. i HATE it. i cannot have crumbs on my fingertips. watch me eat and youll see that i get them off right aways.

2. when people whisper in my right ear. it gives me a back ache and i cant hear it anyway considering that i am deaf in that ear so i hate it.

3. when my toenails arent painted i could go crazy. feet are ugly and especially without nail polish.

4. i am OCD about matching especially at night. i cannot go to sleep if my clothes dont match. its really dumb i know, since no one will even see me. but it just drives me nuts if my clothes dont match.

5. when books have typos. thats self explanatory.

6. my biggest pet peeve is when drivers in front of me want to switch lanes and they cant because that lane is full so they slow down or stop in front of me so they can switch. THATS NOT HOW YOU DRIVE.

7. i dont like when people take too long to do something when it can be done really quick. im too impatient for that

8.when people dont hear me the first time. that makes me a little bit of a hypocrite because i never hear anyone say anything the first time....but i hate repeating myself.

9. my food cannot touch. i dont like the flavors to mix by themselves that way. id rather do it myself if thats what i want. buffets are a no go for me unless i can have like one plate per item. and most of the time i can. score.

10. i really hate when my nail polish on my hands is chippy. it drives me crazy also- i rarely fix it.

moving on.

i moved to a new apartment with kailee yesterday. it was extremely hard without our parents or even more hands to help us load and unload. but we made it happen within a few hours. it sucked making soo many trips to get everything to our cars and into our new place but it all happened pretty quickly.

thank goodness kailee has a truck or we would have been screwed.

her truck bed was PACKED along with every inch of my car. kailee and i have a bunk bed. weird but something new for the next four months :)

our power wasnt working right when we moved in and so with my phone being dead- like it always is, deejmbl saved the day and let me come over and shower and charge my phone- good lookin out deej. 

right now i am just ready for finals to be over- ready for tanner to be back in provo and ready for some sleep. 

k bye. 

ohh- and i will post more picture of mine and kailees baby room soon :)

day seventeen

describe a typical day in your current life.

well soon i will just be working away and supporting tanner with his baseball games. summer is here which means no school. AWESOME.

soon enough i will be running everyday, working, and going to seven peaks. :)

going home.

i visited back in vegas this past weekend. i love going home but then again i hate it. i hate having to leave. but anyway- tanner and i drove down friday afternoon. i love road trips with him. we have fun singing and joking. i just love tanner. end of that. 

we are safe dont worry. this was at a stop light. clearly- with the red in our faces.

when we got to vegas we went to my house first. my mom and i stayed up until 3 am talking. i just LOVE my mom she is the absolute best lady ever. saturday morning i woke up pretty early after not sleeping for very long and ran some errands. along with going to lunch at angelinas with tanner, tate, madilynne, and sarah. angelinas is BOMB if you havent had it. get the chicken fingers, fries, and pizza. after that i went to see both of my gmas. they are also two women that are INCREDIBLE. i also got to see my best big sister ever brittany. i was so excited. her being pregnant is so weird cus i remember her as the 10 year old when i was in kindergarten and now she is gonna have a baby. so crazy but so awesome. shell be an awesome momma. 

that night i went to dinner for shelbys birthday. she turned 20 which is again super weird because we have been friends since she was 13! but it was way fun to hang out again. its been forever. shelby and i will always be friends. she and i get eachother and have lots of good memories. 

the next day was tanners cousin- austins farewell. it was awesome. he gave an amazing talk and had me teary eyed forsure. i didnt even get a picture with him. sad day. but we will get one before he leaves. after church i went home to pack to head back up to utah. we had a mini family photo shoot. 

plus i got to see my bestest friend kaycee.

big things are happening for her in the near future and i cannot wait. i am so extremely happy and excited for her. crazy to think how fast we all grow up. i remember hugging kaycee on the playground when i was in 3rd grade and she was in 5th and now shes about to have some amazing things happen for her. i cannot describe how happy i am for her. she is amazing and deserves the absolute best. 

OH just a heads up! tanners papers are DONE! they got sent in on sunday and now we are just waiting for his call. i cannot believe that he is about to know where he will be serving the lord for two years soo soon. i feel like ive been waiting for this for so long and now that its here i dont really know how to handle it haha but yeah- soon we will know. i am so excited for him. he will be an amazing missionary. also he decided that he wants to race me to see who can finish the book of mormon before he leaves- and its ON! im gonna win :)

day sixteen.

 describe 5 weaknesses you have.

1. my cell phone. i honestly cannot live without it. its kind of embarrassing how attached i am.

2. baja blast and slurpees. theyre too good. i wish that sugar wasnt so amazing and that i didnt want it so bad. all the time haha

3. good lyrics. i am a total sucker for good lyrics. i love it.

4. i am EXTREMELY impatient. i have mentioned before on my blog and i just really am trying hard to work on it. its bad. i hate waiting. especially in lines. THE WORST.

5. i cant really think of another-- but im sure i have lots more. just nothing comes to mind.

day fifteen.

describe five strengths you have.

1.i am a VERY good listener. i love when people tell me things. i like to just listen until they are done talking. i hate when people interrupt me so i try to just let people talk. on top of that- i feel like i give good advice/ideas.

2. i am extremely mature for my age. i dont know if that is a strength? but i like to think it is. i just like to feel grown up and i have very low tolerance for immaturity. unless they are my idiotic friends- then its okay ;)

3. i am motivated. when i have things i need to do i can easily get it done. i like to feel accomplished and i hate feeling like i failed if i know something can happen.

4. i am honest. i hate liars and i hate being lied to. i have learned its easier to tell the truth.

5. i am a good friend. that is probably one strength that i am very proud of. people can count on me and trust me easily. i like to be a good friend to others because friends make life that much better.


k bye- off to VEGAS :D

k bye.

strugglin.

you know when you just have a couple days that SUCK?

well yeah that was my life sunday night and yesterday.

church was awesome and i went with tanner to hear aubreys baby get blessed. the blessing was awesome- and it was good to be with his family. when i was taking tanner home later on i hit a huge pot hole causing a flat on my front right tire. i was so frustrated. tanner and i both didnt really know what to do so we did our best and got the donut on the car. we get it on and it was flat. i just wanted to cry. i was so upset and cold and hungry and annoyed. we got my car to a gas station to try to put air in the donut and nothing. nothing at all happened. again- i just wanted to cry. tate picked us up, i left my car and went home. the next day i had class starting at 7 am and i was stressed all day thinking about my poor car just sitting in a parking lot. blah blah blah the day goes on and tanner comes and gets me and takes me to my car- the tire place was thankfully across the street and when we get it there SURPRISE! not just a flat tire- but i bent my rim. 145 bucks later its fixed. SURPRISE again. they go to rotate my tires and the other rim on the back tire is also bent. another 100 and that is fixed. i was crying at the tire shop for two hours alone soo upset. it sucked. times like these i wish i was home in vegas so my parents could have taken care of things. being a grown up stinks sometimes.

i had a stinky attitude the past two days and i am determined to be a big girl, suck up the tears and move on. doneeeeeee. 

day thirteen

what are your five greatest accomplishments?

i have accomplished lots in my life. tons of things that i am proud of and am glad i finished. but i honestly dont have a top five. is that weird? well whateverrrrrr.

-being a good big sister. i really think that i am an awesome sister. my siblings are my BEST friends. we talk all the time and we are extremely close. i like to think im a good example, i protect them, stand up for them, laugh with and at them, love them with all my heart and try my best to always be there for them. which i am- just hard when im 400 miles away.

- on top of being a good older sister, i think i am a pretty dang good daughter :) for many of the reasons above. but my parents have never really had to worry about me being in trouble. i try to make them proud.

-graduating from high school. going to school for 13 years and finally being done besides college, was a great feeling. too bad i only had a 2 week break in between graduation and my first semester of college. anyway- it felt good to just walk across that stage. 

day twelve.

what is the thing you most wish you were good at?

this is EXTREMELY easy for me to answer. i truly wish i had more patience. i have never had much patience for anything. i hate waiting. i like things right away. but i kind of have no choice. i need to be more patient with everything, soon i will learn. :)

patience is a virtue i dont possess.

if you think for a second

that you have a cooler 10 year old sister than i do, check this out. 

marley is my twin & the funniest, most outta control 10 year old everrrrr. love you par :)

day eleven.

if you could live anywhere where would it be and why?

i would wanna live in the south. i was born in Louisiana and i would love to go back. but honestly i just wanna live by my family. why wouldnt i? i have an awesome family. were closer than close and i hate being so far away. when im married with kids i just hope that my family can live close so my kids can be close to their grandparents. i loved being able to see them any time i wanted. grandparents are like no other people in the world. 

im kind of lame today. i dont have much to say. i had work today and it felt like i worked for SO long. whatever tho. not a big deal. 

now im watching the end of the first BYU baseball game before the next one starts up here soon. #baseballgfproblems. 

thats my life fasho. 

happy half birthday to me.

and also to julie chauncey tanners mom. we have the same birthday & also the same half birthday- which was yesterday. tanner took me to wingers and we both got the stick finger dinner. it was waaaay good.

then after, tanner & have had made it a weekly habit to take a walk up at the temple. we talk about the future and about his mission and yea. i love it. the first time we went up tanner said "cant you just feel the spirit" and its so true. i love that the temple is super close just like in vegas. 

tanner also wrote me a lil letter. we decided to celebrate my half birthday cus once he leaves he wont be here for my real one so this is the next best thing. i love him. hes amazing in soo many ways. im so blessed. 

day ten.

describe three significant memories from your childhood.

i have an impeccable memory. i seriously remember almost everything. its great! but i have a few really significant memories.

my first from childhood is probably my mine & madilynnes birthdays when we were kids. we had BOMB parties. they were huge. always in my gmas backyard with soo many people there and lots of food. barney, babybop, and BJ were present at almost all of them. we were quite spoiled as kids and i remember vividly opening soo many presents on my birthdays and helping mad on hers.

we were cute. hahahaha

my second significant is how often madilynne and i matched as kids. it was ridiculous. haha we matched literall 8/10 times. we were dorks. our personalities show so well in the second and last picture :)

i still am a child- until october 10 this year. so the rest could just be read in my blog :) tay byeeeee.
