From.Best.Friend.to.MISSIONARY!

Today, I gave my best friend the last hug I'll give him in two whole years!  

I am so proud of him and everything he's accomplished.

He will be a SUPERB missionary.

No doubt about it.

Lots of times, I see guys progressing towards their missions and making huge changes in their lives so that they are worthy to go on their mission.

Corb was not like that.

Ever since the day I met him, I knew he was ready to go on his mission.

He just had that light about him that said, I am an example of Christ, I am a believer.

He has impacted me more than he will ever know.

I'm so happy to call him my best friend.

We've had lots of adventures together, and I'll never forget them!

From Utes' games, to dances, to courtesy coning, to UPL, to game nights, to Lake Powell, to everything else we've done together....we've had a blast!

Corb, go share the light you have with those people in Thailand!  

I'll miss you more than words can say!  

I know that those people in Thailand are ready to hear the message you have for them.

Here are some of my favorite memories with him!

The start of our friendship!  We were so little!

Sometimes, Corb hides in the back of my truck and we try and scare our friends!

Best friends at UPL!

Eating a Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich!  (More like gagging on a twinkie-wiener sandwich!)

We played with his computer at 1:00 in the morning!

He's a football champ!

The hair wrap!  Done by Mwa.

Champs!

Friends for life!

He even paints his chest for my lacrosse games!

He thinks he's so cool when he wakeskates...I mean he is so cool when he wakeskates! :)

All grown up.  What a champion!

See you in two! 

 

H.A.C.K.E.D.

I'm changing my passwords to everything I own.

Harlem.Globe.Trotters

Thanks to Adam, Abby, and Mitch, I had a superb Valentines!  Here are some pictures from our awesome night! :)  We went to see the Harlem Globe Trotters, and then we went to Chili's.  The globe trotters were fantastic!  At Chili's the night got even more awesome!  The Globetrotters stopped by to eat dinner!! We got to talk to our favorite one, Handles, and he even shook our hands! :)  The night ended with Adam sliding on the black ice while trying to be sleek opening my door (funniest thing I've ever seen!) and a great visit to Mitch's sister's house! 

We got a picture with Globie! :)

Adam made me a chips and salsa bouquet! Haha

They're sooo cool...they even sit on the rim so the other team can't shoot! :)

Best night ever!

Abby's Artistic Picture!  Haha Love her!

Adam picking his nose...haha funniest date ever!

Can you please just look how tall stretch is!!?? He's HUGE!

They're the funniest guys I've ever seen!

SOAP.Box.combinedwith.V.Day.

So last week, I wrote this post..but I never finished it, so I didn't post it....

If you don't want to hear me complain, please don't read this post.
Alright ladies...V-Day, S.A.D.ay, Valentines Day, Single Awareness Day, I Hate My Life Day, I Love My Life Day, Cute Day, Most Hated Day.... Need I say more??  Whatever you want to call it, that day is coming up next week.  I could personally care less about the day of February 14th. If you're in love, then it is great for you and I'm super super happy for you, but if you're not, don't stress it. :) February 14th should definitely not make single girls freak out as much as it does.  Eventually, we'll all find the right guy at the right time.  Don't worry ladies! :)

And I today I was just asked on a date for tomorrow!  How am I supposed to finish writing that post!????

I was soo excited to spend my Valentines Day with a great work out and then a party with my friends hosted by 5-Cent....
And then I just got asked on a date to go see the Globetrotters! 
I'm completely torn!
I mean, of course I said yes, but now I'm going to miss out on all of my fun plans!
And of course I'm stoked, I mean, who gets the opportunity to see the globetrotters?? (not many people!)
Okay, so I'm totally excited!

Happily.Ever.After.

We all have a story to tell.

Whether we whisper or yell.

We all have a story to tell, of adolescence and all it's glory.

We all have a story to tell.

-Happily Ever After by He is We

I was listening to this song earlier today and those lyrics totally hit me.  Everyone has their story to tell.  Lots of people tell their story to everyone they know, and some people tell their story to only a few lucky people.  It happens.  Thanks to all of the people in my life that have been a part of my story.  You guys are S.U.P.E.R.B.

Thanks to: the lacrosse girls, all my tech girls, all of my 2nd graders, the class officers - specifically: Ashlee, Kayla, and Sara; Josi, Corb, Andrea, Morgan, Deanna, Sydni, Kaitlyn, Alli, Sk, Austin, Jaxon, Cayders, Cristian, Red, Ford, Landon, Riley, Marcus, Bryce, Mariah, Preston, and seriously everyone else at my high school (you guys were all sooo amazing!!)....

for helping me create my high school story.

Thanks to: Kaleigh, Roard, Boss, Melissa, 5-Cent, Ash, Adam, Mitch, Landon, Cam, JB, DannyB, Devo, Big, Bleu, Andrew, Aubree, Megan, all of the Community Attache's, all of the O-Leaders, and all of my other great friends....

MOST IMPORTANTLY -

Thanks to the best family EVER for helping me create my LIFE story.  I couldn't have done anything I've done in my life without you guys.  You guys are the people who make me laugh the hardest and love the most.  When I got all of your letters today, it made my entire MONTH. I love you all soooo soooo soooooooo much.  You'll never understand how much you guys truly mean to me.  Thanks for everything you've done for me since the day I was born.  Seriously. Thank you. :)  I love you guys!

12:15am.

It's 12:22 am.
I just finished all my homework that I had to turn in before I leave for Colorado.
I still need to pack my bag.
I still have to take a shower before I go to sleep.
I have to organize my schedule for Monday so when I get home I will be able to jump right back into the swing of things.
My bus for Colorado leaves at 5am.
I have to wake up at 4:00 am.
I have to leave my dorm at 4:30 am to catch my ride to the bus stop.
YAY for crazy schedules and no sleep!  Ha......

On the bright side....  I'm STOKED for Colorado!!! :)

YouandI.

I love this song by Ingrid Michaelson..  

Seriously, it just makes me so happy! 

I'm learning to play it on the Ukelele and one day when I'm a pro, I'll show everyone my skills. :)

Oh, let's get rich and buy our parents homes
In the south of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
And teach them how to dance

Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain
Making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

This is just the chorus, but it's my favorite part of the song.   

Ingrid, you couldn't have said it better.  

Eventually, I want a love like this :)
