I Couldn't Be Happier!

Okay... I honestly... Couldn't be ANY happier!! :) Life is great! My NRG family totally took the whole competition down in Arizona 2 weeks ago, my parents are back from their little vacation, I have the best siblings in the world, and my friends.... are awesome!! :) I am as happy as it gets!!
2 weeks ago, I went down to Arizona for our annual clogging competition. I was soo excited to go. I needed to just get out of Utah for a weekend. And let me tell ya... it sure helped!! :) It was sooo much fun!! Ultimate NRG is pretty much my favorite thing on this planet, I don't know what I would do without it in my life! They are a second family to me, and I know that if anything ever happened to me, they would all be right by my side, helping me out. Every single one of them. I love them to pieces and they are all each amazing dancers. We took the whole competition. No one stood a chance. I'm pretty sure by the end of the weekend, the other studios were like, "Get Ultimate NRG out of here!" haha! It was so much fun! Staying up til 4 in the morning, silly jokes, and of course... letters! :) Love my NRG family!!
Last week, my family and I were suppose to go on our camping vacation up to Moosehorn... well.. unfortunately the snow had to cause a delay. More like a cancelation.. :( So instead, my parentals went on a motorcycle ride all around the country! haha just kidding... just to like Idaho and Montana! They left... and it was just me... and the brothers. WOAH! Can you say funnest week of my life!! :) We did everything together! Max and I made a cell!! Out of Jello!!! How cool is that! We are total nerds and I am NOT ashamed to admit it! We hungout with Sarah and Brian, and I just love my siblings so stinkin' much. Although... having my parents gone, was kind of like a slap to the face. We were incharge of everything. We had to make dinner, clean the house, take care of the garden, and even scoop the cat boxes! I felt like a Mom definitely! I was exhausted by the end of the week! When my parentals walked through the door today, it was like a huge boulder had been lifted off my shoulders!! I was SOO glad to see them!! :) They bought us all little trinkets!! Max got a pocket knife with his name on it... oooO! Eric got some lighters... I don't know why he wanted those.. but... ooo!! And then... I got... :) blackberry moose smooch capstick!! haha!! Cause you know... I smooch SOO much!!... oh gosh! Love my family and I am so glad that my parents are home! :) We even had an awesome dinner! KFC all the way baby!! :) Love them to death!
And now for my friends!! This week has been rough... and good at the same time! My favorite person in the whole entire world just had to leave for High Adventure, and leave me all alone!! Gosh how could he!? ;) But that is okay! I got to visit with some old friends which was a blast!! :) This weekend, my friend Courtney Hamilton has begun to blossom a new love!! :) She is going to kill me for saying that, but if she hasn't killed me yet, I don't think she will now! I am SOO happy for her!! She is happy, and all smiley again and I just love it!! Last night I had a fire with my family and friends. Games, talking, and treats! What could be better!? NOTHING! :) It was a blast.. I was pretty much the entertainment for that night though. In Max's words "I have no shame!" It was fun... I was a goof! What is new? :) Then came some scary stories with my favorite person in the whole entire world!! :) It was fun! And quite the adventure if I do say so myself!!... :) I am glad he is home! :)
I know this is getting long.. but I am almost done! Today I went to Courtney Hamilton's ward! Just me and her! It was a blast!... Awkward, but fun none the less! Her ward was different... Made me realize somethings. Was kind of like an eye opener. Sitting there in sacrament gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside I don't get at my ward. Maybe it was the speakers, or the hymns, but whatever it was, I wish I could feel that every Sunday! Anyways! Here are some cute pictures of Courtney and I lookin' like babes! And of course Zach Lamb lookin' like a stud! Love my friends so much!! :) Thanks guys! For everything you've done for me! :)
Aww!! We are such babes!! :) Love ya Court!!
There he is!! :) My favorite person in the whole entire world!!! :)

He's Back!!

He's back!! My best friend is back!! :) Tonight was the first night that I have hungout with my very best friend in a really.... REALLY long time!! Things were iffy with us at the end of the school year/beginning of summer. We stopped talking, and some things happened. Broke my heart! But tonight... things were back to normal. Laughing, teasing, and insulting each other just like we use too! ;) We went on a drive, and we just talked. This is what I love the most. Just driving and talking. There was never a dull moment. We talked about the past, present, and future. We talked about his mission, and how he doesn't care where he wants to go.
"Wherever is good for me!"
That is what he said. Simple words, I know... but even so, I gained even more respect for him. Everytime I am with him, he blows my mind at how amazing he is. He is the most spiritual person I know, and he is not afraid to show it. He is amazingly talented at the guitar, and singing. Even if he doesn't think so, he is! He is always there when I need him, he will lend me a shoulder when I need to just cry about whatever, he always understands what is going on. He really cares, it is not just an act. I don't know what I would do without him in my life.
Tonight was a good night. Life is wonderful. Things are back to the way they should be. I honestly couldn't be any happier! :)

Home...

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word 'home?' Is it your bedroom? Your house? The mountains? What is it? Well mine is Ogden. Ogden was were I grew up and I miss it so bad. Even still after living in Syracuse for 5 years. This last saturday, I went to one of my really good friend's birthday party. I wasn't originally going to go, but I kept getting a feeling like I needed to go. I headed out there and was very thankful for going. I kind of just needed to get away for a weekend, and Ogden was the place for me. I knew about 3 people there out of 30 people. Even then though.... In the crowd of 30 people that I didn't know... I still felt more at 'home' then I do here at syracuse around my friends. I don't know what it was about it, but it was amazing.
We went to a park and it started to down-pour on us. We were all soaking wet. When the rain started to calm down, I took a step back from the crowd that surrounded me. I looked up at the mountains that covered the whole horizon. There in the sky were 2 rainbows that reached all the way across. I just stood there frozen, looking at the rainbows. Two simple words came into my mind.
"I'm Home..."
I wish everyday of my life that I could go back. I can't though. I wouldn't be clogging like I am, or in the amazing band program at the highschool. I wouldn't be nearly where I am today if we hadn't have moved. Still though... everytime I go back that warm fuzzy feeling overwhelmes inside of me, and I know I am home. It will always be my... home.
