Seasons Change.

These two ladies are leaving me for stupid utah. I hate Utah and I hate that they're leaving. I love my dearest Kaley and Brooke and I'm going to miss on them a whole lot. 

Here's a Map & Here's a Bible

I fell asleep at about 9:33 tonight. I thought I was gonna get to bed early. Wake up early. The whole shin dig. Until my phone rings and it's my best friends little sister Brooke. She called me almost in tears saying, "have you seen Lauren? I got scared and sauid, "no? She droppedcme off like 2 hours ago. Let me try calling her." No answer. I started thinking what could've happened and my stomach got sick. I tried calling Lauren again..."hello?" she finally answered. Safe as can be at wal mart. I hated thinking of something happening to my best friend...
In about 2 weeks Lauren is moving to Idaho to go to school. And every time I think about it tears well up instantly. We've been inseparable for going on 2 years now. She's my rock, my best friend and my sister. I hate the thought of her actually leaving. I can't believe it's happening. I'm so proud of her. But the inconsiderate selfish monster inside me wants her to stay here and live with me forever. I love Lauren Kendall more and more everyday. There's no person that could ever substitute the sincere blessing that she is. I thank my lucky stars for that girl every night. Im already counting down the days till she gets home.

Happy Days

The good old days. I really miss that Wyatt kid. 

Filmed.

 I had a shoot for a couple of my little beauties and their dates to winter formal this weekend! I decided to pull out my minolta film for this shoot and had a total blast. Its a tough competition between digital and film for me. I love the way these turned out!

Ups and Woes

I think the song "One of the Boys" By, Katy Perry was written about me. Great. Now the media's laughing at me too.

Wasn't Kidding.

 

Here she is in the Flesh. Gisele did an INCREDIBLE job and totally rocked it. I'm so proud of you dolly girl. I can't believe how far you've come. I love you!

Pranksgiving.

This Thanksgiving was the shiz. I didn't let myself miss out on yams and black friday ( whatta crock ). We went all out. Eating till 7pm and shopping till 5am ( my two vices). The occasional lego building was thrown in there and plenty of bike rides to save some baby monkeys a couple of breaths. My cousin was also "Clara" in the Nutcracker Ballet this year. Ridiculous. She was incredible and I was so stinkin' proud. I wish I was 11 and could dance on pointe. #firstworldpains.

Lauren, Tori, Dierks, & Toby Keith

Last night after work, Lauren and I went down to Toby Keith's bar and grill to watch Dierks Bentley perform. It was SO hot and SO crowded, but lots of fun. We made stops at Yodipity yogurt before the show and headed over to Chili's for dinner. It was our 3rd or 4th concert together. I love our concert traditions. There's no one else I'd rather go with.

Documenting

THIS is a good idea(s)

Get 'em while they're Hot! (Christmas cards)

Look at how cute my family is!



19 and the Livin's Easy.

Wednesday was my birthday and what a great birthday it was. As gilbert common-law, the first thing on the birthday list was Liberty Market. waking up at 6:00 usually isn't my thing, but I had to get there before my 8am call time at work...and hey, free is free. (Don't get in the way of a working girl and a free meal.) I work 8-5 so most of the birthday was spent at work accepting a decorated desk, balloons and Justin Bieber's "Someday" perfume curtosey of my bff Lauren. Yeah...I'm that girl. (Lunch break was at Joe's farm grill. What did I tell you about free?). Finally the day was over and I headed home then to Joe's farm grill for din din. I came home to a suprise party and my best of best friends. I am so so lucky to be blessed with the people in my life who make every day better and better. Thank you to all. <3

Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve...etc. etc.

Aside from the fact that Justin Bieber's new christmas album came out yesterday... We celebrated Halloween (ok secretly the 2 month jump start to christmas) with a bang.

(Gilbert's finest mimette and alien)

(80's wild child added)

Over-all it was such a good halloween. The day after, Lo and I justified the okay-ness of listening to "holiday" music. Hey, gimme a break. Its the holiday season. And no better way to kick start it than with JB.

Thoughts Thinking

Sometimes the hardest things in life turn out to be the most valuable lessons learned to a person. Someone going through sadness and trials will feel inadequate and alone. Truth is, they aren't. They always have someone to turn to and someone who loves them. They just have to have enough strength and faith to put their future into someone's hands. An old friend no one remembers, that no one can see, that no one can hear. But if you search hard enough. You can feel that friend. You can feel love.

Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Oh Im SO ready for this. Already listening to that and Biebs new one. #noshameinfame 

Hell on Heels

Why yes, I am in fact in the 24th row going to TAYLOR SWIFT!

Unavoidable

The whole "Living in Gilbert" thing has its ups and downs. Example: You have limited 1am restaurant stops. So between Filiberto's and QT's 2 for $2 taquitos, Filiberto's usually always wins. Example 2. Your cousin owns the only decent boardshop in town and the family discount means you provide for your friends and are continuously matching. I can't get myself to wear anything else these days.

But hey, who said the suburbs were a bad thing. (anyone watch Suburgatory after Modern Fam? #gilbert)

Fall Frenzy

K I didn't really go to Fall Frenzy, but its finally October so walking out my front door isn't unbearable anymore and we can actually take our Rhino out for a nice (loud) Sunday ride. Sorry to all Morrison ranch residents. The rebel in us must come out during October too or somethin'. PS. Why does growing your eyebrows out have to be such an akward thing?

Always 21

Dropped $8.5o on this beaut tonight. Can't complain.

Heaven has a Target?

Pleeeeease do yourself a favor and watch this.

Its Been too Long!

I'm sorry for the delayed blogging. I guess I spend too much time on Pinterest and missing that boy or something. Whatevs.

The Sisters Plus the Mister

Yesterday, I took my sisters & brother out to get our family pictures done for all of our newly decorated rooms. They did such a good job and complained only 75% of the time... Wait to go team!

ASU

Last Thursday was the 1st game of the year for ASU. I could've passed on the 110(+) degree heat, but hey. If you cant beat em' join em'? Something like that.

POS

Today was seriously the craphole of all craphole days. I wake up, go to the bank, withdraw $400 bones, take it to court, and give it away. "Here ma'am here's a shredder...go ahead and place your money in it."

Today just is NOT my day folks.

1st Home Game

My previously attended high school's first game was last Friday night...Not to get confused with the song...So I packed up my brother and off we went. We met up with Lauren and Austin later on and had a great time trying to show Hawk pride. Truth is, Highland is just not up to par on the athletic thing. The sad, but true statement doesn't stop us from supporting and paying the $3 entry fee. We loves you Highland High...I wish I learned that fight song.

1st Intro...
