I'm baaaaaack!
Feels great :)
But for real, things have gotten crazy. So many changes over the past few months.
a. Summer 2011 was thee best by far. I learned so much about who I am, who my friends are, and where I'm going in this crazy thing called life. I had some unforgettable memories with friends and family. I took LOADS of pictures. If you're lucky, you might just get to see some. Had adventures, vacations, and of course worked my a off all summer long. But it's all paying off in the end! Happy thoughts...
Pics from the Summmahhhh!

b. I'm a drill coach! Can you believe it? Yeah... me neither. It's honestly the best thing in my life right now. I live and breathe for dancing. To be able to share that with 26 beautiful girls is the greatest gift I could ever give or receive. Chelsea and I have accepted the challenge and are taking this year by storm. 2011-2012 Brighton Accadians will be.. I repeat.. WILL BE the best they have ever been. This year is going down in the books. But truly, it is the most humbling, inspiring thing I have done thus far, and cannot wait to see what the year brings!

| Jay & I took a trip to St. Jeezy! Funnest trip EVER. |
c. I miss my best friend. He is my rock & I'm a different person when I'm with him. But alas, he decided to be amazing at basketball and get a scholarship to play at CWC. So while he's off in Wyoming living his dream, I'm wishing he was here! Things are definitely not the same without him. He practically lived at my house, lets be honest. But I am SO incredibly happy for him, and just look forward to when I get to see him again. Christmas break? Let's hope before then.
d. School........... ugh here's the sit-chu. I'm taking this semester off from University of Utah. It's halfway willing, halfway unwilling. But I don't think I would have been able to manage everything I have going right now. So I guess everything happens for a reason! But on the up side, Brian started school! My cute father is attending SLCC to get his degree in electrical engineering. He is the cutest! I help him with math, and we have study sessions. He is the smartest person I know (and I'm not just saying that. If you met him you would think so too). He's my hero though. Without a doubt. Come January we'll be hitting the books together! Can't wait!
e. I'm dreading winter. Who wants to wake up 15 minutes early so they can put on snow boots and mittens, go scrape their car (because sommmebodyy wont let them park in the garage) and pray to the lord they you don't slip on ice or that there isn't a wreck on the freeway? Sounds like so much fun if you ask me!!
f. Update on family.... Britt & Keith are a cute, in love type of couple. But hey they are married, along with that comes stress. Anyone reading this, wait as long as you can until you get married! If you already are, more power to ya! Mom is great though. Ever since she got this new cookbook, she has become an avid chef. She makes amazing meals and desserts constantly, and hey I am not complaining! Lil bro is just a stud. He'll always have ladies chasing after him no matter what he does. But nonetheless, he is growing up and learning what it means to care about school and family, rather than just 'hanging out' and 'being cool'. He definitely holds a special place in my heart. Grams is cancer free!!! WHOO! She finished chemo this summer, and her hair is even starting to grow back. TALK ABOUT A LIVING HERO. The rest of the fam is all great and happy. Love them all to death! Eric is in marine training down in Cali. He graduates on Oct. 14th and will be coming home for a week before he heads out again! We've been writing lots of letters and I'm so proud of him!

| Eric the marine:) powwwdaaaaaa. |
That's all the news I have for now. Also, I need to get on here more often. That would be a great thing.
Here is my little inspiring bit for the day.
"Ain't it amazing that struggle tends to bring out the best in who you are? It's the irony of life. Without struggle and without the means of going through something, you would never really know how powerful your spirit can be. You can always fix the technical stuff, but reserve the feeling. And keep that feeling alive in you. Keep that hunger" - Shawn Stockman
I believe this applies to anything in life. Without that struggle, without those hardships, what is there to be grateful for? Everything happens for a reason. & the big guy upstairs? Yeah.. he has a plan for all of us.

| ps. THIS is true happiness. |
