a Temple day, sushi and happiness

So Thursday evening- me, my cousins Heidi and Erica and my grandma went to the Temple for a sesh. It was good to see them and I always love going to the Temple with family. I am grateful for the Temple and the peace I feel there. I have been going there more lately and I have seen a difference in my happiness. :)

Afterwards we went to Olive Garden and I called my sweet hubby and he met us there. Olive Garden is gooood. Here's a cute pic of me and Scoty boy. Just look how handsome he looks! I like him.

 

Scoty has been working extra hard lately. He has a new job! He works in the ER at Dixie Regional and is a critical care tech. Basically an EMT that works around the clock helping people in the emergency room. He gets to see and help a lot of interesting people... and a lot of creepy gross injuries! I am so proud of him. He has worked there about a month and was just made full time. Yay for insurance!  He is really smart, i know i could never do what he does. He works so hard. Usually four 12 hour shifts a week but lately it's been like five or six days in a row. He is my tough boy.  I love him alot and cant imagine my life without him. 

Wednesday night I was able to get together with my friend Shanna who was in town from Colorado and get some sushi. All you can eat sushi. and we did eat all that we could. Yeahh sushi. Mmm.

She is so freakin' cute it hurts to look at her sometimes. I am really glad we got together! 

This is the first week I have had plans almost everyday. On tuesday, we visited my mom in Hurricane and ended up going to a movie out there. Scot actually was the one who suggested it and even bought me popcorn. He even picked the romantic Zac Efron movie. He was being such a doll that day. Everyday mostly :) I was really grateful this week that my schedule was so full and i had so many people that wanted to spend time with me. It was a good feeling. 

Now i am just counting down until the first of June because i am going on an art trip with my mom, sister and grandma to San Fransisco! Whoo hoo. 

I am a happy girl.

family time

What the... more than 1 post today? Crazyyyy! I'm so awesome right now.

My little brother turned 16. I still think of him as being 11. So, when he drove me around town in search of a snow cone the other day I kinda was creeped out. It's weird. He's old now!
Ben is really good at tennis. Like really really good. I am proud of him. He does tournaments all the time and wins like a champ. He is growing up to be a handsome boy and so many girls chase him. It's quite cute.
He is a real gentleman too, he sticks up for girls and is always helping out. He is a cute boy!

We went to Red Robin at his request for his birthday dinner. He would not take a good picture with me. I think he was embarrassed because i was being all nostalgic and big sisterly.

 

^ he looks mentally challenged in this pic...

but I assure you, he is not. 

He was just being a little brother and wouldn't take a pic with me!

Love ya Benny.

Blog worthy weekend.

My life evolved this week. It became blog worthy.
Most things I do you wouldn't want to read about because they are incredibly boring or you just might feel sorry for me. But not this week! Yeah!

It all started last weekend. My dear friends came for a visit. I haven't seen them for many eons, so it was much needed.

Taylor has been my best pal since we discovered that we were both awkward and chubby in 6th grade. It has been an awesome journey of eating chocolate pie and watching one another grown into attractive women (more attractive than 6th grade, at least). Tia, whom I conveniently did not get any photos of by the way, has been my other BFF since 9th grade. (She took tons of photos with us on her iphone, but lost it.. soooo..) She moved here from up north and we swooped in on her asap. She looked like she might be funny and she was definitely cute, which our circle of pals needed so we ambushed her in the hall. "hi new girl, wanna come to lunch with us?" I think it was Taylor who initially made the first move. We have grown to love Tia in ways that is impossible for other humans to understand. I am really happy that my best friends were able to come down to play with me. It was a blast!

 

There was snow cone eating, just alot of eating in general, carrousel rides, and birthday parties. 

 

 It was a blasty blast. Taylor also did my hair like old times. I love being blonde..r? I miss them!
