its been awhile-

i confess...
-i just wrote SIX missionaries! elder chauncey, elder tebbs (austin), elder tebbs (tommy), elder swenson, elder lythgoe & elder newman. love love love my friends that are serving the lord! they are awesome guys!
-work makes me exhausted. my family tells me all i do is sit in an office chair and do paperwork all day- but seriously i am soo worn out by the time i get home!
-my little sister turns 18 tomorrow! so crazy because i sometimes think im still 18, and i certainly am not. im almost 20 and thats old. i think about us being 3& 4 and realize how fast we've grown up!!

she was super cute on her third birthday right?! love this picture ;)

-i miss tanner. DUH. did i even need to confess that? not in a bad way- but i for sure miss him- but another week down!!

-i really hate being a grown up sometimes- id give anything to be a carefree kid again. 

-i need a vacation. bad. this summer i seriously didnt go ANYWHERE. except utah- and i hate utah hahaha. i need to get out of vegas. to anywhere. itd be really amazing. 

-i want to go back to the south soooo bad. just for one SEC game. id be in heaven. i mean hello my birthday is right around the corner! someone that really loves me can take me :) please and thank you!

-i have a terrible terrible weakness for donut tyme. im on a diet- a very strict one and donut tyme is just the only thing i cannot give up. they are sooo delicious! if you dont know what donut tyme is- its a lil donut shop in vegas that is open 24/7. its amazing. 

-although i hate utah- i miss my friends that are there. a lot. 

its that time of the week,

-wednesdays- my favorite day of the week. that is tanners p-day & yesterday was the best wednesday ever! i got an email, his family email, a picture and two missionties!! i was so happy.

-new friends- i have a new friend named karlie & she is awesome! her boyfriend is also a missionary and he is at the brazil mtc. he met elder chauncey and every week they talk. she is seriously such a sweetheart! we were meant to be best friends!

-anesthesia- i get my wisdom teeth out on aug 28th. cool right?! i am SO scared. thank goodness im getting put to sleep or i would literally be crapping my pants in the oral surgeons chair. tmi? dont care. im serious. i hate needles and i hate the dentist. be prepared for me to post the aftermath of my wisdom teeth on here in one week.

-funny youtube videos- my family seriously finds the most hilarious videos on facebook all the time. thank goodness for them. i always could use a good laugh and they make it easier.

-good advice- i am so so so thankful for those people in my life that i can vent to and get some of the most incredible advice back. they know who they are. i honestly dont know what i would do without them. i have the best big sister and best friends. ever.

-my family- i am always thankful for them. after recent events we have proved to each other that we would literally do anything for our family. you can do anything but mess with my family- seriously. im thankful we stick up for each other, comfort each other, make each other laugh, and support each other no matter what. blood is thicker than water.

-good examples. i have a lot of boys that i really care about on missions right now. they are some of the most incredible examples. writing and receiving letters from them is the highlight of my week. im blessed with such amazing people in my life that make me a better person.

-life- it is true that the future isnt promised to anyone. it is so important to love with your whole heart everyday- be thankful for the loved ones you have in your life because they could be taken in an instant. RIP to one amazing man. ive known you since i was born and you will be missed everyday. thank you for always making me laugh, smile, and always being available if i ever needed anything.

second- ali. she is also a baseball girlfried- actually wife as of yesterday and she is literally the sweetest girl. her and jaycob were mine and tanners go to double date couple. we went on lots of dates together and had soo much fun. they have been together a day less than tanner and i and they are such a fun couple to hang out with. ali and i are really close in age and she just gets it. she always understands what im saying and we get a long soo well. im thankful for her friendship and her push for my addiction to baja blast. i also couldnt be at her wedding- but she was a beautiful bride. i wish you & jaycob nothing but the best! love you alibrug!

third- my best friend on this earth- kayc. she is going to be the most stunning bride on september 29. her announcements went out this week and i am soo happy for her and kade. its really funny how things work out in life. kaycee has been my best friend for a really long time. she has been the ONLY girl i could always count on. we like to say that between us we know everything, and that every unfiltered thought is shared with each other. its true. shes my best friend. i have never been more excited for someones wedding in my life. haha i cannot wait to see kade and kayc walk out of the temple after being sealed for time and all eternity. she is truly one of the most amazing people on this planet and i honestly am so excited to share this experience with her as one of her bridesmaids. i love you bestf!!
