Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to the HOTTEST mom in the world!

I love you.

Car For Sale

Yes, that's right. It's time to say good bye to the good ole Avalon. I am truly going to miss this car. It has given me some of the best times of my life. Some of my fondest memories include waterfights with Jessica and Emily in Sugarhouse, listening to the Format with the windows down over and over with my beauty school friends, the roadtrip to Vegas with my roomates, and many many others that I can't think of right now.

Avy has been through a lot. Like the time I knelt on the drivers seat in the middle of winter and ripped her leather, and the time she was shot at with paintballs. She has been through so much but she has never given up on me. She is a champion. Her air conditioning blows cold and she never failed to heat me up in the winter. I have an issue with locking my keys in my car and Avy helped me fix that problem. She would ding loudly at me reminding me my keys were in the ignition. I only locked them in her one time. She is the greatest car ever and if anyone would like to create their own memories with her, or know of anyone who might, you're more than welcome to buy her for the low low price of $3,300. It's the right thing to do.

High School

Ida Scott Taylor once wrote: "Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering. "

High school was a great time for me, but I always felt like life would truly start after graduation. In retrospect, I wish I had relaxed more an focused on being a kid. I didn't realize how easy life was. I miss always having friends with me 24/7. It is an exeptionally special time in everyone's life.

To those who may read this and still be in high school...enjoy it while you can! Don't be in a hurry to leave. Take too many pictures, don't take yourself too seriously, and don't miss an opportunity to strengthen friendships before you leave. Thanks to all my friends who made high school the riot that it was. I miss all of you guys but I am glad we still keep in touch! I consider myself so lucky to have the great friends that I have.

I am trying now to enjoy every moment as it comes at me. To "make it so beautiful that it is worth remembering." Life comes at us so fast! It's important to live in the moment and enjoy all the seasons and phases that life has to offer us.

Art Project 101

Lately I've been wanting to create a collage to put in my room. Today inspiration hit when I saw a killer frame at the store with my mom and Lindsay. I'd been collecting pictures of things I liked for some time now, and I'm glad I finally got to use them.

I'm so lucky to have so much in common with my beautiful, amazing, creative mom. She helped me with my vision.

Mod Podge works miracles.


We decided we needed a little photo shoot with the killer frame.

Even Jordan and Cam got into it. Where's the pitchfork? (get it?)

We had to talk him into this one.

My mom is the coolest mom in the WHOLE world. Seriously.

The finished project! I want to paint a wall in my room chocolate brown and hang this art piece on it. If it happens, I'll post pictures.

Tooth Paste For Dinner

For a good chuckle, go to my favorite web comic, toothpastefordinner.com. There is a new comic everyday and a HUGE archive of past comics. They're mostly centered around office humor, and they're super sarcastic. Go figure why I like them.
