College!

I've been super lazy. Well as far as blogging! I've actually been really busy! I've moved into my dorm. I absolutely love college! I've made some really awesome friends. Classes start tomorrow. It's going to be super fun, slightly stressful. haha Actually very stressful. Bring on the stress!!

Anyways I thought that I would update you on the room decorating process!

This is my closet. I tried the whole color organizing thing. I'm not exactly sure how long it will last! But the closet are bigger than I expected. So that is good! I was able to fit pretty much everything in there!

My desk area! I love the baskets at the top. They are the same ones Allie has and I didn't even mean to!

On a more serious note. My Grandmother passed away this week. Services were yesterday. My whole family came up which was an exciting thing. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. My Grandma has been sick for a very long time, but the doctors had just told us that she was not showing any of the signs of the final stages. So it was and was not a surprise that she passed on. It's a good thing though. My Grandpa passed in 2000 and it's time that she meet up with him. It's still sad though. Services were held on my Grandparents 58th Wedding Anniversary. Kind of sweet.

This is me and three of my cousins, we're all 18! It's kind of fun to have cousins the same age. It was amazing to see them again. It's been way too long.

My Immediate Family (minus neil!) My mom's eyes are closed, haha gotta love that woman.

Classes start tomorrow... that will be an adventure. How are yalls classes going?

Busiest Week Ever!!

So I have so much to update about! It's a bit overwhelming! So I started in Houston and said goodbye to my hometown! It was so sad. I'm excited for school though! And then me and my family drove 14 hours in one day to Saint Louis! We went to church with them. It was fun to see my nephew Jack interact with other kids! This is him (on the left) with his friend Jake. Jack and Jake. So cute!

On Sunday night we just hung out and played games. Cute shot of the boys :]

My sister and I before hitting downtown St. Louis!

I loved the Rocky Roads.

The arch! It was awesome. Seriously. The architecture required to build it just blows my mind!

This was a plaque in the museum underneath the arch. Super super funny.

Across the street from the arch is "The Old Courthouse." This courthouse where the Dred Scott Case was decided. It was pretty awesome!

But it's under construction right now!

We went bowling. It was so funny to watch Jack bowl. He loved it. He talks about bowling all the time!

Jack eats peppers whole. Like seriously. He will eat anything! He is totally not picky. So weird.

We went paddle boating one morning. It was super hot and my legs were tired after five minutes! But the views were super worth it!

That's the Art Museum in the background. Isn't it amazing? Saint Louis is awesome!

So... someone had done that in the sand... I promise it wasn't me. It was there when I got there. Weird!

Jack chugging down some homemade rootbeer. So cute! He's getting so big!

He's such a trickster. He dumped the water on my mom. haha!

So then we went to the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. It was amazing. SO much mosaics! The entire place is filled with them. So beautiful.

The chair that the pope sat in when he visited the basilica.

We visited the Saint Louis Botanical Gardens. It was amazing. The best one I've ever seen. Acres and Acres of the most amazing flowers. Senior Pictures all over again! haha.

Jack was loving those lambs!

My future backyard!

Feeding the fishies!

It was hot. Terrible.

We brought Jack's swimsuit and he played in the fountains!

In the backseat on the way to Illinois. We stopped at the hometown of Mark Twain. It was interesting. I'm sure the town had it's day, but it was kind of sad... totally run down. But it was fun to visit it.

So we went to Carthage Jail. It is the place that the first prophet of our church was martyred. It was a really great experience to visit that place.

In Nauvoo we were able to visit so many things. It was so cool. This is the Nauvoo Temple. So pretty!

Family!!

Chad and Amy and Jack. They are adorable!

Nauvoo was built by early mormons, some of which were my ancestors. So it was really fun to go and see what was left of the town.

We got back to St. Louis Saturday night and Sunday was my Dad's birthday. 55! Crazy!

The trip was amazing. I am now in Provo, Utah. I move into my dorm on Wednesday morning. A whole new adventure for me. I'm so excited!

confesssion time!

I've been terrible about updating my world. like for real.

I'm deeply sorry people!

so it's all very exciting. I am in Saint Louis! It is totally amazing. I love it. I would absolutely love to live here one day. Everyone's so nice and there are so many things to do. I have yet to upload the hundreds and hundreds of pictures I've taken so far on my trip, but when I do you better believe that I am going to have one HUGE post about this amazing trip!

It's so fun being here visiting my family. My nephew is so cute! He says the silliest things and is definitely the best source of entertainment!

My brother's been taking me to the gym with him and I've been pumping some iron... I'm totally sore!

We've been having family competitions on the wii. So fun!

Monday I leave for Utah! I am so excited. I'm already missing all of my Texas people. I just don't want to grow up yet I guess haha. I'm sure I'll meet new people and it will be awesome... but I'm just on edge right now!

So until my next post... bye!... or as my nephew Jack would put it... See ya later peeps!

HOT BOYS

So on Busy Bee Lauren's blog she had "the list" aka hot boys post. And then told us to post our hot boy list. When I first read her post many a boys came into my mind but I decided not to post my own list. But when my very own best friend Lauren had a hot boys post I couldn't resist. I must share my picks :]

Kris Allen

Why are you married? I'm being serious. I need you.

Zachary Quinto

I realize that you are the bad guy in Heroes, but I don't mind :]

It's okay because I love you. I don't care if you are a serial killer and killed your last lover.

It's going to be okay.

John Krasinski

He is on this list for many reasons. And it's not only because he is Jim Halpert.

I mean there are a lot of other reasons....

Jared Padalecki

I don't usually go for the long haired guys, but it works for him.

It just does.

Taylor Lautner

Just to clear some things up. I am not saying that I am Team Jacob.

I am just saying that Taylor Lautner is gorgeous

and has flawless skin. Seriously.

Michael Cassidy

Can you honestly look at him for a moment and tell me you aren't obsessed with him??

Andy Roddick

It is not only because he is a tennis player. It is because he can look so good while playing.

Trust me. It's hard. And he has mastered it.

Zac Efron

Yes I do realize he is on everyone else's list. But how can he not be. Look into those eyes.

Sometimes it's too much for me to handle.

Matthew McConaughey

No words. I can't speak. Seriously. He's perfect.
