Feliz Dia De Las Madres

Happy Mother's Day MOMMY! I love you.

My Mom is amazing. I adore her. She is my best friend and I want to be like her when (or if) I am a mom!

Top Ten (think Letterman) Things I like about my mom: (Thanks Kristie! haha)

10. Sense of Humor: My mom can really make me laugh. One day ask me about William Wallace the talking goat!

9. Confidence: My mom makes me feel like I can accomplish anything and everything. She doesn't want me to hold back... and instills that feeling of confidence every girl needs to make it in this world!

8. Disneyland: My mom has a real appreciation for Disneyland. She isn't afraid to run down Main Street U.S.A. with me and really act like a kid. I love that about her!

7. Family: My mom doesn't let anything get in between her family. She let's us know that we are her everything.

6. Fights: My mom fights the fight. She can find the strength to turn around from the world and not allow Satan to pull her down.

5. Experience: My mom has experience in life, she leads us but also allows us to learn by trial and error.

4. Loves: My mom loves us. She loves me. She isn't afraid to let me know she loves me. She stops at nothing to give me what I need... whether it be love, time, help, a friend, discipline, etc.

3. Gardening: My mom has an appreciation for the earth and what she can cultivate from what the Lord has given her. She shows us provident living and allows us to assist her in that.

2. Beauty: My mom is beautiful. Inside AND out! Self Explanatory!

1. Christ: My mom loves the Savior. She understands the Atonement and can better prepare us to know how to come unto Christ. Throughtout her callings I have watched her grow and continue to learn more of the Gospel and in return teach US more about the gospel.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom, and all the other mom's out there!

I am proud of you mom!

You made it through another year!

You just keep getting stronger!

I LOVE YOU!

There's an old oak tree... we can swing and sway. Lock arms and lay.

Busy... always busy! You know what I am saying? I keep putting items on my "honey to do list". Since I don't have my own Honey to do my list, it's not getting done. Oh look, I made a funny.

You would never believe that Hair School would produce homework... to do at home... but it does! It's not the "trim my doll head at home" kind of homework either! I am learning all about skin & nail disorders & diseases! (gross, right?Trust me I know).
I love my teacher, Ms. Kaye. She is hilarious! This lady has done SO many wonderful things with her life! Currently, aside from teaching us beauty schoolers, she volunteers to cut hair for hospice patients. Growing up she traveled as a ballet dancer around Europe and studied in New York. We connect on the performance AND hair level. Ms Kaye is inspiring!



This weekend I went with some friends (Kiara, Mike, Tyler, Zach, Camry and Amerae) to the Mae concert at the Clubhouse in Tempe. Mae performed with scent, visual stimulation and of course MUSIC! I forgot how much I enjoy their vocals! Mae's keyboardist is my hero. Seeing him last night made me swoon. After the concert we went to IHOP. It reminded me of High School. I am pretty sure that was the last time I had been to IHOP was High School. Conversation was light and fun. Company was enjoyable. It was great to spend time with old friends that I don't always get a chance to catch up with. Mike would agree that it was the most fun I have had in quite some time. I haven't stayed out that late in a very long time! It was refreshing. :) I didn't get any pictures... silly me.


I need some change to my daily/weekly routine. You'd be suprised at how mundane my life has become. (aside from the concert attendance... it pretty much is work, school, work, school, couple hours of sleep, school and etc.) If you have any ideas... please throw them out there! I would greatly appreciate it. It doesn't have to be life changing, it can be a simple thing that keeps your own life new and interesting. Thank you, thank you!




... oh and the picture up top... every post seems better with a picture... no relation to blog itself...

What's the most SWANKIFIED place in town?

It has come to pass! I have been to San Francisco and have seen WICKED! It was an amazing show. It was everything I had dreamed it would be and MORE! It makes me want to be out on the stage again! Everything about it was amazing... and I found myself almost crying many many times! LOVE it!


Visiting San Francisco for a day was AWESOME! I got a couple quick snap shots of Union Square ( whish I had time to shop!), and of the Golden Gate Bridge (next time I am wearing Tennis Shoes to walk across!). I can't wait to go again and take a couple days to really walk the town!



Here I was standing next to one of the elevator things on the bridge. Notice my height deficency.

Dad and I on the bridge!

It was windy! But the temperature was perfect! Thank you San Fran!

We stayed at the Westin St. Francis at Union Square! Loved it!

me & momma at our hotel room! we were way high up... the eleveator at the Hotel was on the outisde of the building! It was kind of freaky!

At Union Square!

Me & Dad! It was a great trip!

live.laugh.love.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart!

I love my two friends Kiara & Jenny! They are so wonderful! We have made changes and moved on with our lives... but when we get together we pick right up where we left off! I love that about our friendship.... and that is what makes us TRUE friends!





We got together tonight for a visit & went to dinner at Serrano's! It was a blast catching up and reminiscing! I adore these two so much! Great memories!

I lubby you girls!

Prince Charming....

I just love this picture.... thats really all this post is about... and I know this isn't prince charming... it is prince phillip! whatev.

You best recognize!

Life is zooming by. I started Hair school! It is so fun but harder then I expected it to be. I have fun at school & the girls are awesome! Work is great too, I go in everyday after school until 6 or 7, making my days long. When I get home I am usually pretty exhausted! So far so good!

Last weekend I went with a friend Ashley to see our friend Paige sing with Calbap Choir. It was held at Scottsdale Bible. I enjoyed it immensely! The music was wonderful & the choir was so talented! It was fun to experience a different faith's way of worship and faithful expression! I loved seeing Paige too! She is one awesome girl and I have enjoyed staying in touch with her from HS and also seeing the wonderful things she is doing with her life! It was a great experience!

Eli turned 6 this week! It is amazing to see him grow up and become such a big boy! When everyone wished him HAPPY BIRTHDAY he kept thanking everyone and it was sweet! I can't believe he is so old! like i said before... LIFE IS ZOOMING BY! but at least I am enJOYing it!

Wicked Birthday!

I turned 22 on the 26th. For my Birthday I didn't think that I would be getting anything because, well being older and wiser means not having little kid birthdays. (I don't know who thought that would fly... whatev) I woke up to my mother jumping on my bed and telling me to wake up. She handed me my "Birthday present", a scrolled up paper with a red ribbon. I oped it and it says flight to San Francisco for 3. (me, momma, pops) SWEET! I have never been to San Fran before! BUT WAIT! there is more... I go to the next page... double decker shuttle bus tickets! How rad right?!?!? WAIT WAIT WAIT.... the next page was tickets to the Orpehum to see.....

WICKED!

I know I am pretty excited. Thanks Mom & Dad for making this Birthday so memorable!

For my Birthday I went and had dinner with some friends & my roommates. My roommate Jen has the same birthday so we had a double trouble deal going on. It was fun. We went to Macaroni Grill. Delicious!
