26 family members and counting!

At this current moment I have 26 members in my family, but in a couple of months I shall have 27 members! The reason why is because my sister Chelsey got engaged to Taylor! And you know what? It's about time! I am so excited to have Taylor be a part of my family, especially getting to know him after who knows how many years. Chelsey and Taylor will be an awesome, crazy, adventurous couple and I'm glad that they're finally getting married. They are good for each other and I'm happy to be able to call Taylor my brother soon.

Anyways, I thought that I would just share this piece of exciting news. I'm pretty stoked about it. :)

Soldier Hollow

On Monday, February 14, my dad's singles ward went to Soldier Hollow for FHE and I was able to go with them. Also, Garrett and the four oldest Dutson kids (Austin, Harrison, Missy, and Ashton) and the Rusts came with us as well. Pretty much, it was a blast! We went tubing down the hills a lot and they had some delicious doughnuts and hot chocolate for us to eat. It was a lot of fun to see the little kids go tubing as well as us adults. :)

So, here's some pictures from it and a video.

Here's little Railay on the tube. He wasn't too sure if he wanted to be on there.

North and Missy waiting in line to go up the hill.

North and I had just gone down the hill for our first time.

Here's a video of North and me going down the hill. It may not look like we're going very fast, but it's actually pretty fast. We had a lot of fun. :)

I'm moving out!

So, I've been wanting to move out for a while now and I finally signed my contract to the place I will be living at. I am super stoked about living on my own, especially since I will be moving out with the fantastic Riley and Kylie! Unfortunately I don't move out until August for the fall/winter semester, but I'm sure that it will be awesome. I just wish it was August already! Anyways, I think that's it for now. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Here's a gif that represents how excited I am to move out.

Back into blogging

Hey everyone,

I decided to get back into blogging since several people I know are starting it up again and that way I can actually keep a record of my "exciting" life. So, this post will be a recap of everything that has happened in my life since my last post, which was on July 18, 2009. (Note, not all of these things occurred in this exact order).

• Survived the Swine Flue pandemic.
• Went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter 6 and UP.
• Went to the Stadium of Fire on the 4th of July.
• Had a family reunion in Yellowstone Park.
• Went star gazing and watched comets in the canyon with friends.
• Went to IHOP at 4:00 a.m. several times just for kicks and giggles.
• Had an awesome Star Wars marathon twice with my friends. (Yes I watched all six movies in one day.)
• On New Year's Eve, Andie and I stayed up all night long being crazy.
• Fell in love with some new t.v. shows, especially with the men in the shows. ;)
• Saved my love, Roy Mustang, from the homunculus on my birthday.
• Graduated from Mountain View High School.
• FullMetal Alchemist, a manga series I followed loyally and loved dearly, ended after it had been going on for 8 years.
• Went on an adventure trip to Moab with Chelsey, Taylor, and other people. There I went white river-rafting, and repelling. I also caught my hair while repelling, which caused me to be stuck about 200 ft in the air while a storm came along for several minutes.
• I am an aunt of 13 nephews and nieces.
• Attended the Muse concert in SLC.
• Invited Andie, Meghan, and Riley to Lake Powell, where we had many adventures.
• Started my first year of college at UVU.
• Joined a Singles Ward and got called in the Activities committee in R.S.
• Learned how to drive a stick shift and got my very own car, thanks to my dad.
• Dressed up as Hagrid for a Harry Potter Birthday my friends and I did for Riley.
• Went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter 7.
• Went on my first official date.
• Went on a Mexican Riviera Cruise for Christmas.
• Started my second semester at UVU.
• Got called as a Relief Society teacher.

So, I'm pretty sure that a lot more has happened throughout this last year and a half, but that's all of the main things I can remember. Anyways, I hope that I actually keep up with updating this blog and hopefully I will have pictures to put up. That way for those of you who might read this, it will at least be interesting to look at the pictures.
