i dress different because i LOVE style!

Usually, people will wear what everyone else is wearing....not me! i like to wear what i want to wear. And if people don't like it, that's okay, but...

• Don't judge me and call me names for being different.
• Don't assume that i am something that i am not because i can dress better than you.
• And if you don't like what you see....STOP LOOKING AT ME!

It's okay to wear white pants after Labor Day, just don't throw on the white shoes!

A camel sweater is a MUST have year round...especially in the fall though.

Sometimes it's great to mix up some color, but this time i kept it DARK!

OVERWHELMED!!!!

I think to decided to take on TOO much this semester.

I am taking on a lot and i am just hoping i get through it:

-12 credits of classes: Intro to public relations, Spanish 2, Multimedia Image production, and the school paper aka The Forum.

-2 internships: one is for my dad campaigning which i thought would be easy since it's my dad...NOPE!!!! and the other is working for Your Next First were i blog a TON, make videos all the time, have to create a new educational power point to show at high schools, contact schools in the salt lake valley to get more coverage for YNF, and get more people to go to the website. So it's a LOT!!!

-Working 30 hours a week tellering in west valley. It's a job, but i have been doing it for 2 and a half years and it's the same thing day after DAY!!!

-my CALLING. i am the activities committee chairman and so not only do i have to plan all the activities for the ward, BUT i also have to get people to come to them AND be at them.

i am just doing a TON and ready for school to be DONE in APRIL!!!

So if you don't ever see me very much or when you do see me i look stressed, it's because i AM!!!

p.s. i don't know HOW i do it, but i always find time to watch the Kardashians and the Real World Road Rules Challenge. need SOME outlet in my life.

the GYM needs to become more IMPORTANT!!!!

Summer Time is Going by TOO FAST!!!

This summer has been one of the BEST summers and one of the CRAZIEST!!!! So i guess to make it easier for you know know what i am talking about, i will just post some pictures and tell what's going on:) ENJOY!!!!

Went to the Sex in the City 2 premier with some friends.

This is us as the Fashion Show. ha ha ha ha ha....

TAYLORSVILLE DAYZZ!!!!! need i say MORE?!?!?!?!

Valerie came CAMPING with my family:)

that's RIGHT, we're wearing the same shirt.

:CUTE:

it really was a GREAT SUMMER!!!!

Since i ALWAYS judge OTHERS, it's time i judge MYSELF.

i was thinking the other day, "DANG!!! i judge people A LOT!!!" so i thought who better to judge me than....well, ME!!! so here are some pics where we can ALL say, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???"

So, lets start with the OBVIOUS!!! Now i KNOW that i thought the shirt was FUNNY, but funny doesn't always come across as funny to everyone. Plus, the shirt made me look WAY bigger than i really was. NEVER flattering!!! But all in all, this PICTURE was funny:) ha ha ha ha...

WOW!!! okay, lets start from the TOP and work our way down!!! FROSTED TIPS??? granted they were the thing to do, but so was HUGE bangs in the 80's and look at how we ALL make fun of that NOW!!! then the red, white and blue...i KNOW it wasn't 4th of July, so what was i thinking. PLUS, you can't see them, but i am wearing the BIGGEST shoes EVER!!!

Just NOT good...

and finally...a more recent picture. Now this one i don't dis so much for the color choices. THEY'RE GREAT!!! i don't care one anyone thinks, BUT IRON YOUR SHIRT!!! did i REALLY think that wasn't going to be NOTICEABLE?!?!?!? WOW!!! NEVER go out with a shirt THIS wrinkled!!!! TOTALLY JUDGING!!!!

well, we can't end on a BAD NOTE!!!!!

So...this is one of my FAVORITES!!! now granted this IS another red,white and blue outfit, BUT this time it WAS 4th of July. Also, the colors aren't so DARK, they blend well together and with my tan skin it all looks GREAT!!!

So there you have it. i judge people. BUT i judge myself even HARDER!!!

THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS.....

For a family home evening we did for my ward we did an IRON CHEF type activity. We had 2 teams and picked either a dessert or appetizer. Then depending on what you got you were giving an ingredient that you HAD to use. The secret ingredient for the appetizer was RADISHES and for the dessert was RICOTTA CHEESE!!! ha ha ha ha ha....so check out the pictures and see how it went:) SO FUN!!!!

Team 1...we're SO EXCITED!!!

team 2....WAY more excited than TEAM 1!!! ha ha ha ha...

we made a CHEESE ball and CRAB SALAD!!! turned out SO GOOD!!! seriously:)

here is team 2 with their desserts and drink:)

and the judges decision....WE LOVE IT ALL!!!! ha ha ha ha ha...

everyone had a BLAST!!!! such a FUN idea:)

Totally ready to take this weight loss SERIOUSLY!!!

So here is how I am going to finally get back into the shape that i want to be...and that would be a healthier shape:)

SO my friend Danny is basically a trainer and helps you figure out what you need to eat, BUT not crap that you don't WANT TO EAT!!!

If you are like me and just need someone PUSHING you a little bit to get those final results than check this website OUT and set up a consultation with Danny. Tell him that you heard about it from me and he MIGHT be a little shock realizing that i am SUCH a big deal!!! ha ha ha ha...

Something that i have ALWAYS wanted to do:)

Before i moved to California i used to take the temples for granted. They were always so close to us here in Utah and there were SO MANY OF THEM!!! you never really had to go out of your way or even take a whole day to have to go to the temple. So what am i getting at here? well, we have so MANY temples here and never take the time to go and see them ALL....BUT my dream isn't to go to all the Utah one, but to take a CALIFORNIA TEMPLE TRIP!!! wouldn't that be SO FUN!!! just start at the top of the state and work my way DOWN...of course i would do it in UTAH TOO, but i just really want to do it in CALIFORNIA:)

so i would start with Sacremento...

then head south west to Oakland...

then go to my mission's temple...FRESNO...

then i'd hit up another BIG temple and go to Los Angeles...

after that i'd head south east to REDLANDS..

of COURSE you have to go coastal and hit up NEWPORT...one of my favorites;)....

and END it all at my FAVORITE and where i WILL get married ONE DAY....

SAN DIEGO!!!!

Have you EVER wanted to host your OWN SHOW?

Well, i have done it TWICE NOW!!! ha ha ha ha...for the ward activities i have been the host for FAMILY FEUD and THE DATING GAME!!! ha ha ha ha...both were a HUGE success and both were a TOTAL BLAST!!! apparently i am pretty funny, but the people just can't seem to get enough. and can you BLAME THEM????

So check out the pics....
