Listen to this!

I heard this on the radio yesterday {so long XM- how I miss you}!

Doesn't it make you want to go and workout?? Wouldn't it be cool to make a slideshow of your 2009 pictures with this song playing?! I need to learn how to do that!

My First Jazz Game.

124-115 win.

I told a friend that I went to the Jazz game last night and they asked if any boys were involved, I told them "no". They were so suprised and then told me they were so proud of me for going to a sporting function on my own. Believe it or not I do like basketball! {Playing no, watching yes}

Things I noticed during the game:

• Kyle Korver is hot {already knew that but re-confirmed}
• Basketball may be the only sport I actually understand
• The Jazz dancers have about 10 uniform changes in 1 game
• A lot of NBA teams have purple as one of their colors

Thanks for the tickets Ricki!

I'm just going to say it now- I hate the length of my hair. I had to cut it this length to even all the layers out so that I can grow it out... {remind me next time I chop my hair off that I will hate it when I grow it out again}. Luckily my hair grows pretty fast.

Good Weekend.

Bridal Shower.

Reuniting with other Alpha Phis.

Spiciest sushi ever- the menu said I had to sign a waiver with the sushi chef! {I didn't- but it was sooo hot.}

Katie 2x

Ikea.

Arrested Development.

Laughing and a good cry.

Sisters?

Nope. Cousins.

I have never lived close to family- but for the past 8 months I have been lucky enough to live with my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins! It was so great to get to know them and develop relationships with each of them. I especially looooved getting to know Miss Ricki. She is one of the most darling 18 year old girls I know. Not only is she so cute, she is smart, plays soccer, is hardworking and soo sweet. It is like I gained another little sister!

We were accidental twins!
Love you Ricki!

I hope you have an amazing day full of celebrations {after you take your finals of course}!

Dear Schpoopy,

Thank you soooo much.

I was lucky enough to have my dad fly out and help me with my move which included...

4 trips to Ikea

Lots and lots of furniture being put together

A trip to Lehi to visit friends

A trip to Logan

A basektball game

Family togetherness

Thank you Schpoopy. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Maryland Friends!

It is always soo good to catch up with friends!

Thanks for the amazing Peruvian lunch.

It was delicious.

Guess who is moving??

Guess who is moving this weekend?!

No- I didn't steal the cart- there are a few at my apartment to make it easier to move in! {So somebody else stole it- or maybe it was donated!}

Junk in the Trunk

Or major lack there of...

When I was 7 years old this fringe skirt covered a large portion of my small tooshy. It was cracking me up when I found it. It was part of my tap recital costume that I got to wear with black fishnet tights- it was sexy.

I may have had a little too much fun finding all of these things!

One more blast from the past

These were my friends in 8th grade. I am still best friends with the one in aqua, and still keep in good touch with the one in the LS white top! Thank goodness for facebook. Did I really just say that?!

We had some good times... color nights were the best.

Check out my bangs. They were hot.

Just wanted to say...

I

LOVE

You

Mom!!

{For a ton of reasons- but I think you know what I am referring to! I am seriously still laughing from last night.}

Ikea Baby.

I swear I have not been to IKEA since I lived in Texas.

This was a preliminary IKEA visit- taking a lot of pictures, taking notes {thank you Miss Emily}, sitting on chairs, couches, laying on beds, picturing myself opening the dresser, etc.

Thank you family for going and hanging in there with me!

My Room

I seriously had (have?!) an awesome room growing up. All I really wanted was to have a lot of space to put up pictures, quotes, posters, all things teenage girl, etc. It's fun to look at this wall because its basically frozen in time from High School! I have 3 panels- 1 big and 2 small.

{I had already started to clear off the 2 small ones before I took pictures!}

My amazing mother was the creative mind behind this fun wall!

I spy with my little eye:

I Will Remember You

With a title like that you are probably expecting something really deep- sorry to disappoint it is a few pieces from my younger years! I wanted to go through my room when I was home- and I found some sweet things from my childhood that I want to document! {Remember in Toy Story 2 when they get rid of the toys and the toys are so sad to be forgotten about/given away? I can't help but think* my things are sad too...}

This is from my Aunt Cristins wedding reception that my G'pa made- and Cristin gave it to me. I remember being honored that I received one. It sat on my desk in California on display.


I have never kicked a soccer ball in a soccer game. Yes, I did play on a soccer team- but was really not a fan of running, sweating, or knowing that there was a chance of the ball hitting me. Needless to say there was only one season of soccer in my childhood. Every player {if you could even call me that} was a recipient of a trophy.

I have always loved to read- my parents made sure that we always had something to read! I'm sure at times my parents wondered about my choices in reading {Sweet Valley High, Sweet Valley University, etc.}! These books make me smile.

Rhyming Dictionary: I "earned" this book by purchising it with "Green bucks" in 4th grade from my teacher Ms. Green. I seriously saved all year for it- I was not going to settle for a plastic ring. Nope. Not me. I needed the Rhyming Dictionary- maybe I aspired to be a poet? or most likely a rapper. {I do not think I even knew what rap was.}

Cheerleading Book: I wanted to be a cheerleader from a very young age. I saw this Cheerleading Kit at the Scholastic Book fair- it came with this book, gold/purple pom-pons, and a cassette tape with the cheers. It was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I begged my mom for it and she said "no". I got it for Christmas that year from Santa Clause- I was SO excited. I read it, practiced, cheered. I even took notes in it.

Sweet Valley High: Francine Pascal is a genius. She hooked you in Elementary School with Sweet Valley Twins, then by the time you were in Middle School you were reading Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley University. I was really mature for my age, but then stopped reading Sweet Valley University and stuck with Sweet Valley High. You may be interested to know that Sweet Valley High: Senior Year series is just barely coming to a close. {I stopped reading them in 8th grade- not because I wanted to but because our Library stopped carrying the new ones.

Leonardo DiCaprio- the biography: I actually borrowed this in 5th grade from a fellow classmate but then I thought I ripped one of the pages so I bought her a new one and kept the one I ripped. {Win win.} This is the most hilarious thing- I loved Leo but had never seen any movies with him in it. Yes, Titanic did come out that year but had I seen it? No. Had every single girl in my grade seen in multiple times? Yes. Did this arguement work with my parents? No. Did my crying work with my parents? No. I FINALLY saw Titanic in 8th grade- when it was shown on TV. I purchased my own 2 disc copy of it in college. Whenever I'm in need of a good cry I watch it. However, I still love Leo. Just the other day I saw a movie preview with him in it and my heart went pitter pat. I also love him in Growing Pains.

Little House Trivia Book: I LOVED reading the Little House books. I wanted to be a Pioneer- then I went on Pioneer Trek. Let me just say I am glad my ancestors did it for me. My moms friend Kristy stayed in my room when she came to visit- and on my nightstand I had one of the Little House books. She read it and then read the entire series! We now share that common bond! She bought me this trivia book once and whenever I hear about the Little House series I think about Kristy!

Senior Suprilitive: Fast forward to Senior Year of High School- I won "Best to Bring Home to Your Parents". I was a goody two shoes {still am}- I was a parents dream come true! Haha. The guy who won this was my HS boyfriends friend. Maybe I was dating the wrong person?! The yellow bunny decor next to it was given to me with the award- it was my "halo".

Stuffed Animal: If you really know me- you know that I do not like stuffed animals. However this duck was part of an inside joke with the HS boyfriend. It came with a Tiffanys necklace around its neck. Its such a nice stuffed animal I hate to give it up- but I am passing it onto someone else who will love it. However, I am keeping the necklace.

It was a lot of fun going through my room- my mom and I had some good laughs. It's hard to believe I will soon be moving into my own place, and beginning new memories there!

*I know that these things do not have feelings but... :)
