Grandpa passing away, mom coming home and not doing well..while living with me for a month, taking 3 classes while working full time, dealing with personal issues and struggles, social life not being where I want it to be, and now not having the security of my job (I lost it this week!) So it's just been so frustrating and I just haven't felt like myself lately. I am trying to break free of that though. I have realized that I have to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;">CHOOSE</span> </i></span>to live my life the way the Lord would have me live. I have to make the <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">CHOICE</span></i> to be happy even in the face of sorrow, frustration, and depression. What good will it do to just sit around feeling sorry for myself...<div><br /><div>So as I make a lot of changes with my attitude and actions, I thought it would be good to express the things I am grateful for, and recognize that even in the depths of everything there is always light. There is always good. And most of all, there is always <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">hope</span></span></i></span>.</div><div><br /></div><div><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF9900;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">My sisters and brother</span></span>-- My best friends through thick and thin. They are always there for me. Whether it's to be obnoxious at a family get together or a late night yogurt run after a rough day. :) <b>Drea</b> is so good to make sure I am taken care of. Always checking on me and inviting me to places and I just love how she makes me feel like a friend and not like her 5 year old little sister! "*Staretch it out Mill!!*" :) <b>Angela</b> is always fun to share all my weird experiences with. We seem to have similar odd stories that we can always laugh at. We also share the whole photography thing which I love! We help each other out with little projects and tips. <b>Ashlee</b> is just crazy and I love it. I love how she always tries to show me new music and bands to make sure that I am keeping up with the latest underground stuff. Dirty bit!! <b>Rob</b> is such a nice guy! Always so thoughtful and I am glad that I have him as an older brother. We haven't always been too close but I feel like as we get older we have been able to reach out to each other more. :) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1GfOWDRcWPM/TgZHBejUCiI/AAAAAAAAAjs/6iWca7qf2vU/s400/IMG_1589.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622259275525261858" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></span></li><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">My Music</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">-</span>-I am so grateful for my love of music.

There is something about it that just lifts my soul! It's an odd concept to try and explain but it is something that it so special and dear to my heart!

Always asking if I am doing alright, if I need anything, and just letting me know that they are thinking of me. That means the world to me. I am grateful for the words of wisdom they have shared with me, and the experiences they have shared to help me get through and push forward.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQLbwznu2dg/TgZHCiDxYYI/AAAAAAAAAkM/0B7BRw_O8v8/s400/SDC11057.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622259293646578050" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></li><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">My Aunt Terri</span></span>-She is so good at "smacking" sense into me.

He passed away May 17, 2011 and his funeral service was last week. It was a beautiful service and I know he was there and enjoyed every minute. It was filled with music and memories. I am happy that he was able to finally go home and reunite with not only his one and only <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">sweetheart</span></i> but his brothers and sisters and parents. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so great to meet people who have been touched by my grandpa's selflessness and caring. He was always thinking of others and wanted everyone to be happy. He absolutely LOVED music and he has been my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;">number 1 support</span></span> through my piano, guitar, and singing. I am going to miss playing for him but I have a feeling he will still be listening. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Love you grandpa</span></span> :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OFqOhMljL1A/TePWXgxk2ZI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/YVBYN9ftu0E/s1600/SDC11097.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OFqOhMljL1A/TePWXgxk2ZI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/YVBYN9ftu0E/s400/SDC11097.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612565260056975762" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-66265456366773520002011-04-18T13:06:00.000-07:002011-04-18T17:17:14.037-07:00Old Habits Die HardOk so I officially suck at updating my blog. But I give up. I'm not going to try and say that I am going to get better at it because the fact is I just won't. ha ha I wish I were like Angela where I had more to share and say but I guess I feel like I just don't have that much going on. I can only post so many pictures of myself! :) But I figure when I remember I will post and for the 2 people that actually check my blog anyway, that will suffice. <div>I figure that since music is such a big part of my life, I should share more of the music I write. After all, that kind of is my personal journal and "verbal blog" if you will. My thoughts and feelings come out when I write music. It expresses what I am going through at a particular time in my life and it helps me get through things. Although this is a song that I wrote a few months back I thought I would share it anyway. It's called "In Horizons" and I wrote it for Jason and Drea. I hope things turn around for them soon! All in the Lord's time though. ....I am currently working a couple different songs that I hope will come around here shortly.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-52906763881164512662010-12-15T22:45:00.000-08:002010-12-15T23:03:46.114-08:00Thanksgiving!<div>Just a few pictures from our Thanksgiving feast! It was fun being with everyone and having a break from work for once! </div><div>Drea and I were in the kitchen hard at work the night before making our very first pies! Drea made a homemade (crust and all!) pumpkin pie and I made an apple tart pie that was so good and healthy! :) The crust was made out of dates, pecans, almond meal, and vanilla. Then I just threw in the apples with some agave nectar and cinnamon and put it in the oven! It was a fun night!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4ZS4i75I/AAAAAAAAAh8/i40YppL7BaM/s1600/IMG_8138.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4ZS4i75I/AAAAAAAAAh8/i40YppL7BaM/s400/IMG_8138.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551170760416096146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4Y5FCUHI/AAAAAAAAAh0/glReskXBYa8/s1600/IMG_8150.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4Y5FCUHI/AAAAAAAAAh0/glReskXBYa8/s400/IMG_8150.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551170753489162354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4YfP_9aI/AAAAAAAAAhs/pmiWtlkH_Ag/s1600/IMG_8153.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TQm4YfP_9aI/AAAAAAAAAhs/pmiWtlkH_Ag/s400/IMG_8153.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551170746555823522" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Let the feast begin!!

I am taking charge of life and not looking back and it is a great feeling! I have an amazing job at South University! I love the people I work with and what the company stands for! I love what I do and there is plenty of opportunity to grow in the company and I am excited about that! I am moving into my very own place in January and I can't wait! It has been a blast living with Jason and Drea but I think it's time to move on with things! I am the Primary Pianist in my ward and it is so fun being in Primary with those kids every week!

I learned so much and have grown tremendously! I am a better person for having gone up to Provo. I made friends that I know I will keep forever and my testimony has been tested and strengthened. Being Relief Society President was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. I can't even describe the things I have learned and experienced. I have such respect and value for the RS organization and for the work that goes into the program.<br /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515794986682305522" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKUQMUS_I/AAAAAAAAAfk/yWnaw5e46R8/s400/Annie+and+Mom.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKU5XAzCI/AAAAAAAAAfs/4_Q0XQeBPCc/s1600/IMG_3135.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515794997733018658" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKU5XAzCI/AAAAAAAAAfs/4_Q0XQeBPCc/s400/IMG_3135.jpg" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKTwO0F1I/AAAAAAAAAfc/HHlMnhbKHtQ/s1600/Annie+4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515794978102843218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKTwO0F1I/AAAAAAAAAfc/HHlMnhbKHtQ/s400/Annie+4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKTobb-jI/AAAAAAAAAfU/RBxbD6ioXlE/s1600/Annie.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515794976008305202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/TIwKTobb-jI/AAAAAAAAAfU/RBxbD6ioXlE/s400/Annie.jpg" /></a><br /><div><br />The major that I picked was the most perfect thing for me. I learned so much about communication and the processes that are involved in families. I hope to go on further in school and maybe get my masters or possibly go to Law School and practice Family Law! I just got a job at South University as an Enrollment Advisor! I am very excited to get started! I am also excited about my photography and the different opportunities I have had to do different shoots for families and couples. It's been great! Who knows what life has in store for me at this point! But I can't wait to find out! : )</div></div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-44318511227813403132010-02-12T20:56:00.001-08:002010-02-12T23:00:37.049-08:00Muse Performance!<div align="center">A couple weeks ago this kid in my ward, who I usually talk music with, said that his friend offered him a spot to play at Muse Music in Provo. He said that they were looking for someone else to fill the last spot and asked if I wanted it! My first reaction was..."um, No!" ha ha but after thinking about it I realized that this would be such a great opportunity and experience for me! I was so nervous about it because i have never sang and played in front of an actual audience before, but I was so excited about it! It turned out to be an absolute blast and I would defintely do it again! I sang one of my own songs, a song that I helped Ashlee with, and then two covers (Thinking of You by Katy Perry and Happy by Jenny Lewis). </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437587814020017842" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/S3YxTqmn7rI/AAAAAAAAAao/CuBO13C-iMw/s400/18776_262442188345_595358345_3219721_1800545_n.jpg" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/S3YxVP25D0I/AAAAAAAAAbI/G8i09Un638U/s1600-h/18776_262442238345_595358345_3219726_3750954_n+copy.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437587841200230210" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/S3YxVP25D0I/AAAAAAAAAbI/G8i09Un638U/s400/18776_262442238345_595358345_3219726_3750954_n+copy.jpg" /></a> All of my friends from the Ward came and it made me so incredibly happy!

Suns Game!I have been a true and loyal Suns fan since I can remember! My dad had season tickets so we would all take our turn to go with him! It was so much fun! I'm sure my dad didn't enjoy it as much considering I was pretty little and all I was interested in was the cookie man that walked around! : ) I have changed a little bit since them and love watching basketball games! Everyone up here LOVES the Jazz, especially Brad and he has season tickets. We have been talking about this game since like September and it finally came!

(That is my new calling). The lesson tied in really well with Easter (Section 121 of D&C) so I wanted to do something cute to give everyone and make the lesson unique from the typical reading out of the manual. I made these little baskets with the saying and filled the bottom with candy. I think they turned out really cute and everyone loved them.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326510865619185394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 303px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SeuRaUV9bvI/AAAAAAAAAUI/2obn1dTSByU/s320/P4122216.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326510871253571650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 205px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SeuRapVTWEI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/ISViK1toXnU/s320/P4122221.JPG" border="0" />("The Easter egg is hallow.

My eyes were really opened up to that. He really knows what pain I am suffering. Not just the general stuff but he knows what it is like to be alone at night, to fail a test that you studied so hard for, to lose a child that you never were able to meet, to suffer through an addiction, to feel so overwhelmed when you are trying to be "supermom", to lose a friend or loved one, to have cancer drain the life out of you and everyone around you. It is SO real and so amazing and I am so incredibly grateful for the gift Heavenly Father has given to each one of us that we DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ALONE. Ever.</p><p>That has been such a comfort for me as I have been struggling lately with a bunch of things, but trusting in the Lord and going to the temple has really given me strength to push onward! Life is great! : )</p>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-65741291082356185912009-04-05T12:59:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:27:57.736-07:00Happy Birthday!.....To ME! : )<div><div><div><div><div>Well yesterday I celebrated my 21st Birthday! ....I am getting way old. It's weird. It is kind of a bitter sweet thing I suppose. I am excited to be getting older because that means new adventure and new experiences are ahead of me. Yet I am going to miss the years where I didn't have as much responsibility and life wasn't so serious! From conference though I have learned to be happier and I need to work on seeing the good in ALL situations and circumstances! Conference has been so good! The day was really awesome! Michelle invited me over for breakfast and then we watched the first session of conference. After that I went home and got ready for the day and went to check the mail. I had 2 packages and a couple letters!! I was so exciting! I never realized that mail would be such a big thing, and I don't even know why but it is really fun to get mail...; ).</div><br />Sheldon came over and helped me open them. He probably thinks I am a freak (if he didn't already that is)! : ) I was going crazy because I was so excited that I had presents and stuff! haha<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321301148160299618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SdkPM2b5EmI/AAAAAAAAATI/e7HHEw-Xqz0/s320/P4042199.JPG" border="0" /><br />Tracy sent me all these and they were SO much fun to open up!

We are now in the top 4 and hopefully we can make it to the championship! That would be so awesome! After the game Michelle and I (Michelle broke her ankle by the way) got invited to like 3 parties....yeah we are popular like that.... but basically ditched out on them because we had a coupon for some chex mix and we were kind of craving that! : ) Yeah I know we are dorks! We did actually go to one of our friend's parties and it was a lot of fun! There were a lot of pretty good costumes and some crazy people so it was good. So then we just went back to her apartment and ate some check mix and watched Transformers and yeah it was pretty fun! Nothing all that crazy but it was good!</p>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-76733258260793442522008-10-29T21:23:00.000-07:002008-10-29T22:14:51.835-07:00This game is awesome! : )Ok so tonight we played our 2nd Tournament game and won!

I have been going none stop with school and everything else! I have had a pretty exciting couple of weeks though! Last weekend I was able to go to conference! Angela sent me some tickets that she got from her stake and I was so excited! It was such an incredible experience! The conference center is gorgeous and just being there I was able to feel the spirit so strong! Then when president Monson came in the place went silent and everyone was on their feet. It was so awesome! The talks were really good too and I definitely found some things that I need to work on! </div><br /><br /><div>It was a pretty rainy day!<br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SQ-fs_I/AAAAAAAAAMs/Emwo0f0D0p4/s1600-h/PA041223.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256403666866254834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SQ-fs_I/AAAAAAAAAMs/Emwo0f0D0p4/s320/PA041223.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SY4vaDI/AAAAAAAAAM0/RuudHFLqmnc/s1600-h/PA041260.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256403668989601842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SY4vaDI/AAAAAAAAAM0/RuudHFLqmnc/s320/PA041260.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SqQOnxI/AAAAAAAAAM8/7I1fcKpuCVs/s1600-h/PA041238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256403673651519250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_SqQOnxI/AAAAAAAAAM8/7I1fcKpuCVs/s320/PA041238.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_S4cMRhI/AAAAAAAAANE/ProlM4tykMY/s1600-h/PA041225.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256403677459793426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_S4cMRhI/AAAAAAAAANE/ProlM4tykMY/s320/PA041225.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_S3nfTnI/AAAAAAAAANM/xriBAgEVcRM/s1600-h/PA041256.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256403677238742642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPJ_S3nfTnI/AAAAAAAAANM/xriBAgEVcRM/s320/PA041256.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Thanks Ang!! : )</div><br /><br /><br /><div>Yesterday was our big Homecoming game against New Mexico and just as expected we won!

He is definitely one of the best players and he is hilarious! His name is Sheldon and the date was way fun! We carved a pumpkin and wrote this random "story" and then left it on Michelle's doorstep, knocked on the door and ran. It was pretty funny! The best pumpkin I have ever seen too! We were just lauhing the whole time about random things and how I am pretty much the biggest clutz/ditz that ever walked the planet! : )</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256413529522056450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPKIQWO4LQI/AAAAAAAAANs/YQGupTHAMD8/s320/pumpkin.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256413531173833458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SPKIQcYsSvI/AAAAAAAAANk/IOkhVZl1Of0/s320/Sheldon.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-90020514419557059982008-09-18T20:38:00.001-07:002008-09-18T21:01:33.446-07:00It Finally Came! : )<div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SNMi9JYtkQI/AAAAAAAAAME/F-K0pUERwWk/s1600-h/Mission+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247576424703693058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SNMi9JYtkQI/AAAAAAAAAME/F-K0pUERwWk/s320/Mission+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Well today has been absolutley wonderful! I was able to get all my homework done pretty early and I got all my errands done....and oh yeah.....I GOT MY FIRST LETTER FROM JARED!! : ) I am so excited right now! I was just getting so anxious to hear from him and I was on the verge of marching down to the MTC and demanding a letter! haha It has been kind of torturous with him literally right down the street! But anyway I was just wanting to know how he was doing and if he was liking it and stuff. I have been checking the mail everyday for a week and.... nothing. I checked today and never have I been so excited to see a white envelope!! : ) I ran up to my apartment and read it and yes I started crying a bit but they were good tears! </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247576872982049714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SNMjXPWmc7I/AAAAAAAAAMU/qgflR9f1fec/s320/Mission+006.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div>He is doing so well! He loves it and is enjoying every minute! He said that his companion is amazing and that they get along really well, which is good. He told me about how busy his days are but he loves the spirit that he feels constantly and all that he is learning. We are kind of in similar situations; We are both learning SO much and we both love it! : ) He really likes his teachers and said that he finally got to excercise on Saturday! I am just so happy for him! He is doing exactly what he needs to be doing and he has the right attitude and I am just so excited for him! He did mention that he still thinks about me which is kind of </div></div>comforting. : ) Just that he is not all depressed about being away from home and that he can just think of all the good times we have had and press forward with the work he needs to do. I will keep you all updated!Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-52313798928044990152008-09-11T20:23:00.000-07:002008-09-11T20:44:21.939-07:00Born Ultimate!!<div>WOO HOOOO!!! I am so excited right now because we just played our first ultimate frisbee game and WE WON!! And it was such a good game too! You play to 12 or 45 minutes (whichever comes first) and we were down the whole time practically. It was a little intimidating at first considering they are an all guy team and they were all wearing red. It was 2 to 6, them, at half time and we knew we needed to "get our heads in the game" so to speak! : ) We kept getting one here and there but they kept scoring as well. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244974663940027666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMnkqvQRtRI/AAAAAAAAAL8/q0VnpXcTn9w/s320/playing-ultimate.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div> (I will try to get some pictures from <u>our</u> team next time, but this is basically how we do) : )</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>We finally got it up to 8 /10 and there were 6 minutes left. We just needed 3 more and then hang on to the lead for a few minutes! We were definitely losing steam by now after running hard back and forth trying to block their guys. I don't know what happened but all of a sudden we just got a burst of energy and we were passing good and blocking and getting to the frisbee. There is this one kid Brandon who has some major hops and he is our MVP I would say! You just chuck it in his general direction and he will get there man on or not! So there was about 2 minutes left and it was tied 10 to 10. We were throwing it off and just trying to keep our heads straight and get this last point before time was up. We blocked it from them and then it was our final chance to score. We were making short passes down the field and then all of a sudden Brandon is wide open in the end zone so Bryce just throws it right at him with all he's got and he leaps in the air and we won the game!! It was so amazing and such an exciting game! We were all so excited and we were cheering so obnoxiously afterwards because we were just so surprised that we actually came back and won it! It was like we won the gold medal in ultimate or something and it's just our first game! I am really excited for the other ones! We have one every week for about the next month or so! oh yeah and our team name is Born Ultimate!...Yeah it's awesome! I love this place!</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-3920413848322676132008-09-07T22:00:00.000-07:002008-09-07T22:47:36.464-07:00My Place<div> Alright well I finally have gotten my room all figured out and so I thought I would post some pictures so that everyone could see my room and everything. My room is quite a lot smaller than I had imagined it to be before getting here, so things are a bit cramped but I guess I will get used to it! The picture below is what is on our entertainment center when you first walk in. Yeah we made those. : ) </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243512558268063042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy4_LeHUI/AAAAAAAAAK0/zH2ygcs6D7E/s320/P9061019.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div>This is what is on the outside of my door. Ashlee brought this back for me from Disneyland. I added the border and the flower just to give it a little something extra.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243512566443787474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy5dotxNI/AAAAAAAAAK8/eTNqKiR-P-Q/s320/P9061033.JPG" border="0" />This is the view from my door. As you can see everything is nicely packed together. It took me so long to figure out how to fit my keyboard in my cracker jack box of a room but I finally did it! I of course can't ever open my closet door but hey as long as I have my piano I am good! : )<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy5hSwDBI/AAAAAAAAALE/nVJy2Qx0-KM/s1600-h/P9061034.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243512567425403922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy5hSwDBI/AAAAAAAAALE/nVJy2Qx0-KM/s320/P9061034.JPG" border="0" /></a> I of course can't go anywhere without my painting (compliments of Angela) and fairy! That's what makes my room, my room! This is just my closet. I have a few pictures of Christ. The doors are like accordian style and so they open out and so you can see how my keyboard is in the way.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243514667587755378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMS0zxAeXXI/AAAAAAAAALk/s2s8viBck48/s320/P9061043.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />This is just a closer look at my bed. I just wanted to point out that I made my comforter! : ) It took a few days to do but with my aunts help I was able to put it together and i love it! You can't really tell but it is also quilted around the blocks with little daisys on each corner. It was my first time actually making and quiliting a quilt so it is pretty exciting! Probably one of my favorite parts of my room is my picture of Jared and I to the right of my bed. you can't really tell either but I have this little Cinderella glass slipper replica that is in front of the picture and it just looks so cute! : )<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243514671964511154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMS00BT-W7I/AAAAAAAAALs/KZj90KN2eic/s320/P9061049.JPG" border="0" /><br />This is my desk. It is smashed up against my bed and I know it doesn't really look like it but I literally have to climb into my chair in order to sit down because it doesn't pull out far enough for me to just sit. Yeah that's fun to do. Ashlee thinks it is hilarious everytime I go to use my computer or something and she hears me making noises as I try to squeeze in there or a crash and then "OW" if I just so happen to fall over in the process. And no the drawers on the right side are not part of my desk. That is indeed my nightstand that would not fit anywhere else. I had to get creative. The main focus was on the keyboard! : )<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243512580089172562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy6QeB0lI/AAAAAAAAALU/7QKKr0NxISo/s320/P9061041.JPG" border="0" />This is my wall to the left of my bed and it is filled with my New York painting, my temple and Hawaii pictures and then of course in the corner is my I Love Lucy antique that I got from Ashlee (my sister). As you can probably tell I love pictures and frames and art and stuff so it wasn't difficult to fill up this wall! And I still have other pictures that I wasn't able to put up anywhere because there wasn't enough room.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy6OuQYSI/AAAAAAAAALM/1cDTYNf9Vtw/s1600-h/P9061040.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243512579620364578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMSy6OuQYSI/AAAAAAAAALM/1cDTYNf9Vtw/s320/P9061040.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is just a closer look at the top of my desk. I got this new Laugh statue thing just before I left and I love it! I have all my pictures of friends and stuff and then my Princess snowglobe that Jared got for me and then on my wall on the right is my little Jared shrine I guess you could say! haha I just had all these pictures and so I got a little creative with the ones of us I guess and mounted them in these frames and then I put some of his notes that he has written to me around them. I think it looks pretty cute and it just makes me smile when I glance over and read some of the things in his notes. : )<br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243514663043661554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SMS0zgFE_vI/AAAAAAAAALc/ydMrlHgIhgU/s320/P9061042.JPG" border="0" /><br />So that is it! I am thinking that I might be taking some stuff home over Christmas break considering that most of it doesn't really fit all that great. Oh well that's all part of college life right? Anyway, tomorrow starts the second week of classes and so far they have been AMAZING so I am pretty excited! I will keep everyone updated on how things are going!<br /><div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-80749972224638440022008-09-01T20:02:00.000-07:002008-09-01T20:25:37.673-07:00Rise and Shout...<div><div>Well school starts tomorrow and I am so excited! I just love how the classes can be related to the gospel and I love all of the classes that I am taking! It should be so great! I'm sure I will have a ton of homework with taking 5 classes but that's what college life is like right? Anyway so all the rumors that I have heard about The Branbury being a party place and stuff seem to be pretty much right on. : ) It just kind of seems like everyone is just into the social part of things and not really a big spiritual group which is kind of a bummer but there are still some really good people. Anyway so I had my first Ultimate practice today and I loved it! I could just play that game all day and night! It's amazing! I will keep you all updated with how thee games go and everything! </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241259850520634466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLyyEI3MpGI/AAAAAAAAAIY/dEG2sgVSzYU/s320/Ultimate_Frisbee.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>Michelle, Rachel and I went to the first game of the season on Saturday! It was so awesome!! We have really good seats too for the season! I pretty much have no clue most of the time what is going on ( i guess i will just have to ask some guys around me ; ) ) but I just love the whole atmosphere of BYU spirit and everyone is so pumped and everything! So here are some pictures from that! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241257934540706098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLywUnR_ETI/AAAAAAAAAIA/oyhSfQSEQdA/s320/P8300975.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241257918185978610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLywTqWtuvI/AAAAAAAAAHw/0OZ472nzZK0/s320/P8300970.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241257926261843266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLywUIcJpUI/AAAAAAAAAH4/sTve8dZk6nU/s320/P8300989.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241257949283320098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLywVeM5gSI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SJF08hXjrbg/s320/P8300999.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241257940154558626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLywU8MbqKI/AAAAAAAAAII/SId6C7lBozM/s320/P8301003.JPG" border="0" />Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-62565294472767136062008-08-28T23:20:00.000-07:002008-08-28T23:40:17.926-07:00And so it begins...<div>Alright well Ashlee, Michelle, and I have finally all made it up to BYU! Michelle and I drove up yesterday and it took us about 11 hours. And yes I have to admit that I received my first EVER speeding ticket! I was so scared and I almost started crying! But it's all good, I will never speed again. : ) Anyway so yesterday I was so frustrated and just overwhelmed with everything. I was running around taking Michelle to her apartment and then to Wal-mart so Ash and I could get stuff for our bathroom and then to my aunt Terri's to get my boxes. I was so exhausted! I finally got home and realized that I didn't have any sheets so I had to sleep on my quilt that I made and then fold it over the top of me. Yeah......I recommend not doing that. ; )<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239825174513134322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SLeZPAQBKvI/AAAAAAAAAHo/vHwnxVOJaYU/s320/BYUColorLogo.jpg" border="0" />I was just feeling so stressed and was a little homesick and I am still trying to get used to the fact that I won't get to see Jared for 2 years. But everything went a lot better today and I was able to get more organized and put stuff where it belongs and just realize that once I get into my routine of things everything will be just fine. I will post some pictures of our apartment and my room and everything once it is all done. It is a pretty nice place and we have done some cute stuff with it! Well I need to get up early for another fun filled crazy day so that's all I have for today. I just wanted to let everyone know that we got here and I am so excited for the next couple years! And I also wanted to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point in my life. I will try and post more tomorrow and I will be sure to keep everyone updated while I am up here! GO COUGARS! : )</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-38388152634123477742008-08-04T10:46:00.001-07:002008-08-04T12:39:22.966-07:00Naughty Will!Alright so last week when my sister Ashlee was still here we were over at our sister Drea's house and Drea was sleeping and Jason was gone. So it was just Ashlee, <em>Will </em>(<em>the cat)</em>,<em> </em>and I. Let's just say that the three of us have never really gotten along that well. For some reason Will can't stand it when we are over. He swats at our feet when we are just walking around and if we try to play with him or pick him up he goes for the kill and tries to bite us sometimes. I am kind of warming up to him but for some reason on this particular Sunday he was a bit crankier than usual. He started biting at us left and right and we were scared out of our minds! I got the squirt bottle and was trying to get him to go in the laundry room but he freaked out and went and hid in the curtains. Ashlee remembered that he hates bags so she went with that idea....and well, you can see the rest. : )<br /><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyOe4II4Xa8oCQYuBPt_SywRxgq4AsqfL-Ne3hTqJHboNLIDFnVoHJPxMUoNRRylEj42NeeBaM1bx8KOh2YKA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </p><p> </p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwpt40y5YVxb6v2vDto4BinUCrCFXEifHyB1WqvNEURixPFcIONv9fxl_dXBYYJSpLPB346Ky4WSdXTwAVr' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Angela likes to say please, thank you, and excuse me to P.J.(my dog) so I thought I might try that approach. : )</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dywnDKgKxnvq1QX6HXW81IyeSoP-T2q44TlI8JjDJJCYlbQNs00T-rhOZzLZsJW68MZ8SgGbQ9Vf6nbmHlZZQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>He never went into the laundry room but he backed off and we all went to neutral corners! : )</p>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-74433895252720213012008-07-19T17:00:00.000-07:002008-07-19T17:21:41.295-07:00Photo Shoot<div><br /></div><br /><div>My sister Angela is starting up with photography and has gotten a lot of practice while visiting. Even though she will deny this, she had the idea to take pictures of Jared and I. I liked the idea because I want a good picture of us before he leaves for Kentucky on his mission! Anyway so we went to a park nearby and she just took some pictures of us. I think they turned out pretty good! </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224881249905190050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB0G4ypKI/AAAAAAAAAGs/pcb7c891ZAE/s320/Jared+and+I+044.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224881254714255858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB0YzXKfI/AAAAAAAAAG0/jlLilnNUo64/s320/Jared+and+I+042.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB0iLOJRI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wz7V1OOwEyo/s1600-h/Jared+and+I+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224882827766248450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKDP84LtAI/AAAAAAAAAHU/l9fCBz_r2zQ/s320/Jared+and+I+063.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div>I think he was pointing out his new friend on the wall....nasty mcCockroach, so I don't really know why I am smiling! ; )</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224882823827541138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKDPuNHzJI/AAAAAAAAAHM/U8sIgTaO8wo/s320/Jared+and+I+026.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224881257230247186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB0iLOJRI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wz7V1OOwEyo/s320/Jared+and+I+031.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB08iHHHI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Jc5zfYvNJF8/s1600-h/Jared+and+I+035.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224881264305577074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKB08iHHHI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Jc5zfYvNJF8/s320/Jared+and+I+035.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div>She got a kick out of making me jump in the air and climb up the wall so she could take pictures!</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224881241410805010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SIKBznPknRI/AAAAAAAAAGk/g-dN2wSC5Kk/s320/Jared+and+I+025.jpg" border="0" /></div><br />I admit it was a tad on the awkward side but we ended up laughing a lot and it turned out good!

It was a lot of fun! We watched Disney movies and pigged out on some good stuff! : ) We made a few trips in the middle of the night to keep ourselves awake. We went to taco bell, QT, and a nearby park. It was awesome! <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMqN1gnzI/AAAAAAAAAFE/EmQL8TwTYQY/s1600-h/Disney+Party+017.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216026712833302322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMqN1gnzI/AAAAAAAAAFE/EmQL8TwTYQY/s320/Disney+Party+017.jpg" border="0" /></a> Megann, Emily, and I spent half the night taking random pictures of ourselves and Chelsie and Rachel refused to come and join the fun as they were "quite comfortable on the couch" as they put it!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMrIgYBII/AAAAAAAAAFM/C94WiHsplaI/s1600-h/Disney+Party+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216026728582349954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMrIgYBII/AAAAAAAAAFM/C94WiHsplaI/s320/Disney+Party+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMridt72I/AAAAAAAAAFU/wTFDYPWt1F8/s1600-h/Disney+Party+034.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216026735550525282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMridt72I/AAAAAAAAAFU/wTFDYPWt1F8/s320/Disney+Party+034.jpg" border="0" /></a> When Rachel got there later than everyone else we decided to welcome her with a little surprise! : )<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMsOkEdGI/AAAAAAAAAFc/9idbiJ_RD8I/s1600-h/Disney+Party+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216026747388327010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMsOkEdGI/AAAAAAAAAFc/9idbiJ_RD8I/s320/Disney+Party+005.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216028354675289442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMOJyLJLWI/AAAAAAAAAFs/Y_qB41ujerM/s320/Disney+Party+007.jpg" border="0" />Poor Lil' Megann.....she was standing right behind Emily when Rachel got there and since she is so short her little arm barely made it over Emily's head starting this little quarel! : ) haha so funny!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMsdQMX3I/AAAAAAAAAFk/Ha7gx4eRE98/s1600-h/Disney+Party+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216026751331491698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/SGMMsdQMX3I/AAAAAAAAAFk/Ha7gx4eRE98/s320/Disney+Party+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105509637698921493.post-38028768823066893512008-04-10T23:53:00.000-07:002008-04-11T00:11:28.702-07:00The Big "2-0"<div><br /></div><br /><div>On the 4th of April I celebrated my 20th birthday! I didn't think that was that old until Jamie called me up to wish me a happy birthday and asked if I had woken up that morning with a sore back and aching joints. ...thanks a lot! ; ) So I had a really good birthday this year! On Friday (my actual birthday) Ashlee and some friends took me out to lunch to one of my favorite places, YC's, and that was a lot of fun! But then my favorite part was my date that night!<br /></div><div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187879798665142850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/R_8NMLjcYkI/AAAAAAAAAEk/oj83N0nJX28/s320/P4040538.JPG" border="0" /> </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187881306198663762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eoyr2jya_3Q/R_8Oj7jcYlI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Io0ohLPbarc/s320/DSC00080.jpg" border="0" /></p><div> </div><div>Jared and I had gone back and forth about what we were going to do and how it was going to work out and everything and things turned out a little different then were planned but it was still the best night! Our plan was to watch <strong>Testaments </strong>(it always makes him cry and i wanted to see : ) ), go out to dinner and then go star gazing. So he shows up and we are talking for a little while because i wasn't quite ready and then i ask him about the movie (he was supposed to bring it) and he realizes that he didn't even bring it! He felt so bad but it was fine. We ended up just talking and i even played one of my new songs for him on the guitar. So then we went to dinner at Charlestons with Jason and Drea. That was fun! So then we went back to my house and got a blanket and went to a nearby park and just watched the stars for awhile. ; ) It was awesome! So then we came back to my house and he gave me my AMAZING birthday present and then he went home. Sorry everyone, no birthday kiss. : ) It was just a really fun day and a birthday i will definitely be remembering!*</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06702927849148691395noreply@blogger.com5
