When life hands you a longboard... RIDE IT










well im sure you all have heard my sweet biffing it on a longboard story but just incase ill recap! So me and my friend Jeff were in Rexburg waiting for my friends Megan and Brig and we had about 20 min. to kill. I bought a longboard 4 days ago and so I was pretty excited to get on it for the first time! Well Jeff takes me to this pretty big hill and wanted to show me how to carve. So I start to go down it, trying to carve but I start to go faster and faster! I was picking up so much speed and didn't really know what to do at this point and my board was shaking really bad! So i bailed and tried to run with the momentum but the momentum was going WAYYYY to fast and I smacked my face right onto the pavement and skidded across it for a while!
I got up and I was totally fine! I was probably in shock cause my shirt was all bloddy and my chin was dripping blood but i was perfect! Couldn't have been better. Jeff said we should go to the E.R and I was like... "No, my dad usually superglues our scrapes". Jeff was like.. "Well there is nothing really to super glue!" Apparantly there was a huge gash missing from my chin! Well we went to the E.R. and I got all stiched up (7 stiches) and then we were on our way again!!! Megan and Brig met us at the E.R. and Megan was so sweet to hold my hand as I was given the numbing shot into my chin! She had to skidaddle after a while because watching was making her naucious and light headed but Meg thanks so much for being in the room with me! It meant a lot!!!!

Wedding weekend and Rupert!!



So this last weekend I went up to Rexburg to go to my really good friends, Ryley and Chelse's wedding! Both of them hiked Coyote Gulch with me! It was soo good to see them and I absolutely loved their reception! It was so pretty and very much their personality! Then the next day after my E.R. happenings me, Jeff, Megan and Brig went to Rupert and had a blast! We rode the four-wheeler out to a cemetary and water dam, ate a delicious dinner, went to our good friend, Marissa's wedding reception, and spray painting shirts! It was so fun to see them and hang out with them before life gets crazy as a teacher! It's always a blast with Megan and Brig! There is never a dull moment! I love them!


So cute couple!

Happy Birthday Carter!! Carter turned 7! Carter is soo cute! I love him so much! I love how sweet he is to his brother! He is also a great artist and loves to make books! It is also so fun to watch Carty when he doesn't know you are watching because he is always in his own little world making shooting sounds like a gun or skipping around! I love it! He has the cutest laugh and is always so happy and fun to be around! I remember one time when he was really little and Rachelle and Mike were still living in Utah, I took Carter to a playground and pushed him on the swing. He absolutley loved it and we stayed there for about 30 minutes. The whole time he was just laughing and was so content swinging with his Auntie! Love ya bud!

AHH Regs wedding!!! So one of my Best friends from high school got married this last weekend! It was such a great evening with family, friends and my girls! Regan got each of us bathrobes to get ready in.. so we showed up at her house and got ready for a few hours. Then we had pictures for a couple hours before the wedding started. Regan was beautiful and the wedding was gorgeous! Regan and Bryan are so cute and you can tell they are so much in love! The wedding went really well and the dancing was so much fun at the end! I also got to see so many old high school friends which was fun!







Me, Katie, Kate and Kelsey were flower girls! We got to throw flowers onto the isle before Reg walked down!

EFY!!!



So I spent the last week in Tacoma for an EFY session! It was the best week of my life! I absolutely loved it! Bailey and Parker were there which helped a ton! We also had cousins there which was fun! I was assigned the 14-15 year old group with two other counselors as well. I had 12 girls and was so thankful to have each one of them! They were all so sweet and loving and just good girls! I didn't know it was possible to love 12 girls in only 5 days!
The whole week was full of fun, laughter and joy! I really did LOVE the week! I will definetly work next summer if I am able to!
