You've Got Mail!

I love getting mail- it does not matter if it is an e-mail, letter in my mail box or a package. I love it all! The past few days have been really great for mail- a sweet care package from my Aunt Cristin, four exciting letters from all around the country and a package from my mom with my winter coats and magazines! Thank you Cristin for the package- it really made my day!

Happy Birthday Schpoopy!

Happy Birthday dad! I was able to spend this past weekend with my dad and I realized how blessed I am to have such a great dad! Since it is his birthday today I decided to write some of my greatest memories of my dad!

Nicknames, Dancing hands, Digger song, Pillow fights, Going to the playground, Being tickled, Math homework (not such a great memory... but we can laugh about it now!), learning to drive, 40 hours of in-car driving, "If we don't leave, we're not going...", Sunday night treats, Saturday morning doughnuts, Saturday night grocery shopping, Take your daughter to work day, Get smart radio, Wonderful example of hard work and integrity...

Happy Birthday dad! I hope you have a great day! I wish I was there to celebrate with you!

My home away from home!

I have to admit, I have one of the cutest dorm rooms I have ever seen! Some of you have wanted to see some pictures... so here they are!

These two pictures are of the quotes I put up on my wall with this vinyl lettering stuff (everyone loves them!) I know it is far away, but it says, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Those are three of my very favorite photos I took during High School.
This is my desk, where I get a lot of studying done, I also have most of my pictures set up here!
This is my extremely tiny closet, I only have five hangers left over, and they will have a hard time squeezing in! This is my storage unit, you probably can't tell but it is under my bed. It stores all of my craft supplies, books, belts, scarves, movies, c.d's, basically everything!
This is my door that also holds my purses and bags. As you can probably tell I love Vera Bradley bags, but nobody in Utah knows what they are!
This is a picture of my quilt, that I got as a graudation gift from my mom and dad! It is made out of t-shirts that I had throughout my 18 years of life! It is so cute and I absolutely love it!

Big Hair!

I have been noticing a trend around campus, there is a lot of "big hair". At first I was a little disturbed but I am also intrigued! I asked my roommate Jessica if she would tease my hair, and as you can see it got a little out of hand! She actually did a really awesome job and my hair looked great for the dance. Yep, I went to my very first Institute dance... and had a good time!
Living with five girls is kind of like playing dress up 24/7... and I love it!

There is beauty all around!

Everytime I walk outside I am so impressed with the mountains that surround me! I am a city girl, but these mountains are growing on me! I also love the fact that I can see the stars here, I can't wait to just lay out and try to see a falling star! This is the one great thing about living in so many different places, I have been able to see and enjoy all sorts of different and beautiful surroundings!
