UTAH!

Okay so I had really good intentions of updating this when I got back from Utah so I could be all up to date and now it has been like 6 weeks.....a lot has been going on around here. First I will just start out with my amazing trip to Utah...

The night before I left I was staying at my friend Alysha's house because she was nice enough to volunteer to get up at the crack of dawn and drive me to the airport! But we decided to go into the city that night and we had a great time. Unfortunately it was raining and I had worn capri's and flip flops, but we had fun. and of course we had to stop in and say hi to our friend Corbin Bleu after his show :) haha

yeah...we're pretty much BFF

I flew into Vegas and my mom picked me up and we went straight to my Aunt Ellen's pool in St. George! So great! Bex had flown in a few days before me and Janae and kids were down so we almost had the whole crew. Minus Tara & Helaman and fam. The next few days were kind of a whirlwind. I just love being home and had such a great time with my family!!

Pazookie! :)

isn't she adorable

I miss Utah sunsets...don't get me wrong i'm sure the sunsets are pretty here too, but you can't see them because there are so many trees blocking the way :P

I then headed up to Ptown to party with friends there. It was finals week so most people were still around. Of course we had to throw a party and it was so fun to see so many friends that I hadn't seen in awhile! I was basically talking to people the entire night so I didn't get one picture :( but the night was success and I love and miss everybody there! I also went to T-square and got to see Helaman, Maija, and the boys!

Sister Sorensen & Sister Shurtlif (sp) they gave us a tour of T-square

My cute nephews Adam and Benson

Me, Kendra, Taryn, and Star then headed back down to Cedar so we could go to St. George and see Katie's show. She teaches 6th & 7th grade at an Intermediate School in St. George and her students did High School Musical. They were fantastic! We of course had to buy t-shirts and after the show we had Katie and all the kids sign our shirts. It was so great! I felt like a celebrity because the kids were fighting over markers and who got to sign our shirts next :) We spend the next day hanging out in Katie's classroom getting to meet all of her amazing students!

I heart Utah! Man I miss this scenery!

Friday night was spent with the bridesmaids and Krista! AHHHH I still can't really believe she is married. We had a great time and it was so fun to all be together again. Then Saturday morning came bright and early :) We were lucky enough to get to take care of the nieces and nephews at the park and help set up for the luncheon so we got ready early and headed down. We had a great time, I just LOVE those kids! Things were a little crazy and rushed trying to get them all ready, but we all made it before the stunning bride and groom came out. AHHHH Krista looked beautiful and so happy. We got a little crazy as bridesmaids...something about those dresses just really brought out the child in us :) We had fun, the luncheon went great as well as the reception. It was fun to see old friends, eat great food and of course dance.

Isn't she stunning!? Oh and Jeff is cute too :)

Craig Isom: "Of all the bridesmaids I've seen in my day, you guys definitely make the top ten."
"Yeah, these dresses bring out the 'bridesmaid' in us."

Tribute to Krista

So I'm not really good with writing down words and thoughts, but basically I can't even begin to describe how much this girl means to me. We have so many memories and have been through so many things together it is hard to imagine my life without her in it everyday. I guess people aren't going to accuse us of acting like a married couple anymore ;) haha I am so excited for you & Jeff and this new adventure in your life. You guys are amazing! Thanks for always sticking with me, helping me become a better person, and supporting me even though sometimes the things I did were a little crazy! :) I am so glad I could be here with you on such an important day in your life. You will always be considered a best friend! but seriously,

Because I knew you, I have been changed, for good."

yeah...we kind of like jumping pictures
