Two of my favorite People...

In the most amazing place I have ever been to, FIJI!

What would I do without you two!!  Pictures from Fiji of the three of us, we really do make a great trio... and I can't imagine traveling as well with anyone else!
Thanks Mom and Dad many times over for letting us come on this amazing vacation/celebration!

Happy Birthday (again) DAD!  Best birthday location EVER!

Olympics 2012

I know it was months ago but I loved it so much and remembered I had this video that made me laugh, so I thought I would share!  Watch the guy on the far right.... is he human?!?  I LOVE IT!

And today is the last day of September (CRAZY) and also the last day my pool is open (TEAR) so I have to go spend the majority of the day down there!  Just wanted to throw that out there and how sad I am to see it go, it has been amazing getting to spend as much time as I have gotten to over the past couple months.  My "office" will be no longer!

London May 2012

So back in May I got to go to London and Paris with my sister, cousin (Hannah) and we got to stay with more cousins (William and Paige) and cousin Virginia even came for a couple days.  It is always so much fun to travel with family and I was just going through pictures and thought I would post some of my favorites!

In Harrods with Bears!

Green Park, right next to Buckingham Palace

Train station in London 

Windsor Castle

Big Ben

London Eye

So back in May I got to go to London and Paris with my sister, cousin (Hannah) and we got to stay with more cousins (William and Paige) and cousin Virginia even came for a couple days.  It is always so much fun to travel with family and I was just going through pictures and thought I would post some of my favorites!

More to come later, eventually!  But we must do it again very soon!

Love it...

I have been MIA... and I was looking through pictures that the professionals took at the half marathon and I thought I would screen shot this one because they are WAY too expensive to actually buy...

But can you tell we are sisters... ha ha... I love it!  And I am so glad that we got to run it together!  Until next time P!

Anyway, more later for now that will have to do!

Great Start to May Already!

I love May for so many reasons not to mention its my Birthday month!  This May is extra special already!  On May 2nd I turned in my final Portfolio for school and that was the last of my semester, it has been such a great semester and I am going to miss it already!  (To top it off that day my pool also opened!)  Then May 3rd I Graduated after 2 and a half years of going back to college!  This second degree seemed SO much harder but loved every minute of it still!  I have decided that I thrive in the school environment so I loved it!  Thanks everyone who came out to support me that day and everyone that has supported me throughout my journey!

 Celebrated that night with a fantastic dinner with Shane and my parents!  Even Bambara recognized that I had done an amazing job!

 And the following night celebrated again with friends and family, Thanks everyone for coming it was so much fun to have you all there!  And a special Thank you to Christina for the cake.... had a piece today, it is still delicous!  Had to leave dinner that night to head to Provo to be up at 4:00 am the next day to get ready for our run!  Provo City Half Marathon.... so much fun and such an accomplishment!

 Finished in 2 hours on the money ... NICE I will take that on my first half marathon EVER!  And I have to mention we all finished with in 5 minutes of each other... We were SO good!  Thanks Marisol for the inspiration and letting us run with you, lets do it again!

 Coming into the finish line, I was SO excited to see the arch of the finish line!

Next up SAN DIEGO in TWO days!  Celebration with friends for three of our 30th Birthdays and some good old relaxation!  And even more to come.... This May is going to be one of the best yet!

100 Days to GO!

I love the Olympics, and London 2012 seemed like it was so far away and today while watching the Today Show they were highlighting the fact that it is only 100 DAYS AWAY!

Even more exciting Myself, Padgett and Hannah get a preview when we go to London in MAY!

If anyone has any suggestions of things that can't be missed in London let us know!

So here is to finishing this semester out, it has been crazy with 2 jobs, 2 internships and class but I wouldn't have done it any other way it has been GREAT and I have learned to much!

Today is the Day!

City Creek Center opens!!!! I am so excited, and its only a mall (or center as they are calling it)! It is going to be so pretty! I mean there are fish in the CREEK that runs through the center... really! Anyway... that is where I will be when I get off work today!

Oscar Excitement

I was not really into the Oscar's this year.... until I started watching the Red Carpet. So many beautiful dresses and people... But I have to tell you the highlight for me was

Ellen's JCPenny's commercials! If you didn't get a chance to see them The Making of Ellen's JCPenney Commercials watch it! These are not the full commercials but all of them are so good, she is so great!

On another note.... The Ellen Show was SO GREAT! I will have to post more pictures later... we saw "The Lorax" and danced and danced and got $100 gift card... all I want to do is go back and do it again!

The three of us waiting to go see the movie and then get carted over to Ellen's studio to watch the taping!Not to mention that the whole weekend was really fun in San Diego... Segways are hilarious!
