Utah Trip

So I am the BIGGEST blogging slacker!!

Its been over 6 weeks since I've updated... and boy have I got a lot to share!!

Where to begin.... I'll start with my trip to UTAH! I decided to go down for conference so I could catch up with all of my friend who would be visiting for the weekend! I was stoked when Cortney decided to accompany me! we had a splendid time and even though it was rainy we enjoyed some time on Temple Square.




While the men were enjoying the priesthood session I was able to attend a bridal shower for a dear friend!! My little AnaLee is getting hitched and my lovely Emily threw her the best bridal shower!! It was great seeing all the girls i "lived" with on the 5th floor!!





Then later that evening we had a San Diego Reunion Party!! All my friends from home got together! it was great to see everyone! But it was especially great to see my bestie David and my babies.. Katie and Adam. I can not believe how big my little Adam is!! He's taller than me with heels on.. needless to say he isn't so little anymore!!!

Seattle Brings a Sweet Reunion

Last weekend I got the chance to fly to Seattle, Washington for the first time to meet up with a roommate! It was such a fun weekend!! Cortney picked me up around noon and then we went back to her place and got settled in for a while. Then we went to a cute little theme park Wild Waves!! We hit some fun roller coasters and had a gay ol' time!







Then we hit up the OG (olive garden) for some dinner and then headed back to play with Hayley Cortney's little sister. I ended up being really lame and falling asleep early because all of the traveling wore me out!

The next day we went to the heart of the city of Seattle. We went to Pike's Place a little farmers market type of place! It was soo crowded. I forgot how much I didn't like big cities and people constantly bumping in to me!! Excuse you!!! We then hit up a little shopping that night and when we got home we watched some tv and i fell asleep early again! We went to church Sunday, Cortney packed. I slept. Then we enjoyed a family dinner with all of the Pikes! It was sooo fun to sit at a dinner table with their family!






We also got the chance to go to the Space Needle. Its absolutely gorgeous!! We aren't able to go up but it was still fun to see.








Monday morning came too soon.... I woke up at 3 after going to bed a bit later than i should have due to a few texts being exchanged the previous night...... you know who you are. So I showered to wake up, we packed up the car and we were on our way by 4AM!!! I learned that stuff from my Daddy! "Leave early get, there early." easy enough concept right?! So we grabbed some energy drinks at the gas station and embarked on our 12 hour drive back to Rexburg!






We are very happy to be back and be settled in our apartment!! All in all it was a very fun/fast/tiring weekend!! I'm happy to be reunited with my CoCo again!!

CRAFTY!!

I recently found out that one of my roommates would be moving out.... and in finding this out we realized she'd be taking all of the furniture with her!!! So........ I bought a new couch, a few dining room chairs, a TV stand, and an arm chair!! I refinished the table and reupholstered the arm chair... but in doing this I have decided instead of reupholstering the couch I'm just going use a couch cover! Too much work for not enough time!! I also made a curtain type separator for our kitchen since we have washer and dryer hook ups but no washer and dryer we use the extra space for storage... but now it is hidden!!! I'm still working on my dining room chairs... and next on my list to find is a dining room table!!! I'm having soo much fun redoing our apartment!! I can't wait for my roommates to join me soon and then we can start the fall off with a house warming party!!
