Happy Birthday Chels!

 

We look seriously awesome don't we?

Today is Chelsey's birthday and there is a lot I could say about her, but I'm going to keep it simple. 

She is the BEST!

BEST COUSIN, BEST FRIEND, BEST SHRINK, BEST PARTNER IN CRIME!

Love her lots!

Happy Birthday Chels!!!

Fall Pictures.

Yesterday evening we had a photoshoot up the canyon with Chelsey...less than 24 hours later, I have them back. They turned out great...I love them so I thought I'd share a few...you can go check out Chelsey's blog too! She does an awesome job!

As you can see we had plenty of fun taking them! In the few photoshoots I've had with Tyler, I've learned that the camera turns him goofy. Just about every shot we took he was goofing off or trying to get me to laugh!



A Birthday Post.

It's this girl's birthday today!

YAY for being 21.

I told her she could come with me to the liquor store, but strangely she seemed uninterested.

I could not have asked for a better friend than Chelsey. 

We have been through everything together...that in and of itself sums up how great she is.

She has got the cutest sense of humor, she can always say something to make ya laugh. She is very quick witted. 

She knows what to say to make you feel better on a bad day. 

She has plenty of blonde moments which make knowing her all the more fun! 

(Chels, I'm never gonna let you live down Moses & the Arc. And most recently that test you took.)

I can't count the fun moments we had growing up.

We were always brewing up ideas & occasionally getting into mischief.

I Love You & Our Amazing Friendship!

I hope you have the best birthday ever!

BFF BIRTHDAY.

It is my very best friend's birthday today!

She is the most amazing girl I know.

Talented, fun, and so supportive of me!

Sooo many of my greatest memories have her in it.

Whenever I need to VENT she is my girl I go to and I love her for it!

She is getting so old...Big 20 today!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share some of my many memories with her.

There are so many that I'm not sure which to include. I thought about making a top 10 but realized I can't decide on a top ten so instead I'm going to post the 1st ten that come to mind.

Here it goes....

1. Learning to Snowboard together on MY birthday...and then afterword buying a cake and me clicking the Spanish button on the self check-out. Kevin freaked out, but thankfully you were there to get me through that experience. haha. thank you for taking Spanish. Who knew it would become useful at the checkout.

2. Waving at the lady while stuck in rush hour traffic in Phoenix, only to get in trouble and told to stop waving, because we might get shot.

3. Talking to the guy at the mall selling us dead sea products. Talk about a little flirter. {Tell me you love me....tell me... }Boy did he love us and we loved him back!

4. Getting thrown off my chair in Sunday School because a certain young man had a HUGE crush on you and just had to sit by you. I had never been thrown off my chair and church before that moment and never have since. I will never forget. haha.

5. Our first attempt shaving our legs. I'm not going to go into detail on this one, but YOU know how it went.

6. Hearing all about your first kiss! So funny to think about now.

7. Going to Swifts for Powerade and then to catch horny toads in Price.

8. Biting each other when we got mad. (I found it funny when everyone at the wedding shower said we never fought!)

9. Being the FIRST one to find out you were engaged!

10. Kidnapping you when you turned 16 with Brett only realizing I left all my cash at home. Thank goodness I had a LOT of change!!!

and what the heck...I just thought of one more so here is to one more!

11. Our first attempt to spray paint. I'm soo glad we shared this moment together. I was impressed by our skills!

 

Love you girl!

Have a very fabulous 20th birthday!

Enjoy your half-day break from work :)

Weekend Bliss

This weekend was pretty great. I was at first bummed, because Tyler's been working grave yard shifts, so all last week I didn't really see him, except for Thursday at school. We had made plans for Friday, to go watch the And 1 Streetball Team play at the Above the Rim game, but he found out he had to work on Friday too. Lucky for me, Chelsey was husbandless for the night, because he went with all his friends to the same game. We had a VERY fun girls night. We decided to do some type of craft and went several places before knowing what we wanted to do, but we finally decided on chalkboards. VERY cute chalk boards. It was our very first experience with spray paint, and I have to admit, we probably were very funny doing it, but we got the hang of it, once we actually dared to start spraying. Unfortunately they aren't completely finished yet, so I'll have to be sure to post a picture of the final product, but here is mine in the process of being made...Thank you Chels, for all the fun! Love you!

After my girls night, Tyler texted me sayin he was going to be off early (midnight) and wanted to watch a movie, boyfriend and best friend all in the same night. What more could a girl ask for? Maybe some sleep? Our movie ended way late and I had to work on Saturday. It was a sad day for the Cougars on Saturday, but the game was still fun, aside from the fact that my feet were soaked. We left early, which we never do, and in the words of our Macey's cashier, "we went home and ate our feelings!" lol. ok, we didn't really but we did go get ice cream cones after the game, and as always Tyler loaded up on candy and ice cream, none of which he ate that night though. yay, for a great weekend. miss it already.

Monday is here and its back to reality!

Oh, and does anyone have any good ideas as to what I can be for Halloween?
I can't use my costume from the Clyde party, because pretty much no one allows masks!

Highlights from this week....

Kelly Clarkson Concert

Wahoo.

This was so much fun. I went with Tyler, Mitch, and Chelsey and it was a blast. My friends Jaynee and Sarah came and hung out with us for a bit which was also fun. Kelly sounds amazing in person & is a great performer. I was a little worried about the rain, but it actually wasn't too bad!

Big Bang Theory

Tyler worked til like 9 one night this week so i had lots of time to myself that night. I watched the ENTIRE first season of Big Bang theory. I love that show. Its hilarious and in my opinion, i think it has one of the greatest theme songs...although i must confess...after watching episode after episode all in one night, it does get a little obnoxious. I decided hardly anyone has ever even heard of this show...and if you haven't, you are missing out! I would highly reccommend it! I'm ready to watch Season 2!

Hot Tubbing

Tyler probably gets really sick of this, but I think this is one of my favorite things to do. I would go everyday if I could. This week we went when it was raining outside which was super fun. Kept me from getting to hot to have cold rain falling down.

DATE NIGHT

Tyler and I went to Magelby's for dinner on Saturday night. I had never eaten there and it was really yummy. We also went to Summerfest to watch the fireworks go off. We didn't stay long but it was fun. Tyler introduced me to 24...one of his favorite shows that I have sort of been avoiding...but I really liked it! I'm gonna have to still the first season from him now...since I jumped in, in the middle of season 5!

PAGE...KEVIN...and PINKIE

Page and Kevin got home from San Diego on Sunday so we all went as a family to pick them up...sound Cheesy I know..but we had a good excuse. We went straight from the airport to visit our grandma Pinkie at my Great Aunt Carma's house. It was a fun little visit. Her health isn't too great but she's still so cute. She showed me her nicely painted nails...she even had rhinestones on them. I'm so glad I got to go and see her!

The Last Month...And Then Some!

So it has been forever since I have blogged. Good news though! I am back!!! Between finals and an internet issue, blogging has been almost impossible but with only two finals left, I have a little more free time...so to catch up on the time I have been gone...I went on a weekend trip to St George at the end of March which was so much fun. Tyler's greenie just got off his mission and lives down there so it was the perfect excuse to getaway from Utah County for a couple of days. We went with several other friends and had a blast even though our trip was NOT long enough. Sunday before the trip we went to the temple and took some cute pictures of the group (minus Paxman, his greenie.)

After St. George it was full gear wedding time for my Best Friend Chelsey, who got married on April 9, the wedding turned out amazing, even though it rained it could not have been more perfect and she was a gorgeous bride! I was lucky and got to be a bridesmaid for her, so that was a lot of fun. I was and still am very happy for her and Mitch. They are such a cute couple. Tyler came and hung with me at the reception which was fun...and I got the bouquet which scared him a little I think, because he got teased by my family, but he'll get over it. haha.

My Bestie!

FR FOREVER

So I had a girls night out with my bestie, Chels! I love her to death, I am who I am, because of her, I don't feel like a person can truly know me til they know her, since, everything I have gone through, I have gone through with her right there with me...she's gettin married SUPER SOON and I'm WAY excited for her, but its caused me to reflect a lot lately about everything we've done together and so I've started a list...it could go on forever but here is just a few...

Rubba Dub Dub...We Love To Hot Tub

So Tyler and I go hot tubbing it seems at least once a week...generally on Thursdays. Well this week we planned on going to the Hot Pots up Spanish Fork Canyon with Chelsey and Mitch and I was pretty excited to go, but we had a little change of plans when the weather started to look a little sketchy. So instead...we settled for hot tubbing once more with them. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to go up to the hot pots with them! I can't see them enough :) Love you both!!! Thanks for coming with me and Ty!
