This summer has been very busy between getting ready for the wedding, jobs and trying to spend as much time together as we can. However, its been a very fun summer. Here is some things we have been doing this summer.

Going to the Spanish Fork rodeo. Trevor said I could be a rodeo queen and he would buy me a horse!

Trevor is as obsessed if not even more about guns as my dad and brothers. We finally went shooting together so he could see how great of a shot I am. Yes, he is going to buy me a gun, which I have been trying to get my dad to do for a while!

I told Trevor that the Fourth of July is mandatory in Richfield. So ,this year he was so excited to go to Richfield for the 4th and it didn't disappoint.

This was a first for us and a first for a lot of my family. As a family we decided to run the Richfield 5k. It was definitely my first and my last experience running any race. P.S. 6 weeks until the wedding and I have tons to do!

Yes I'm getting married!!! I'm so excited and even though I have done a lot I don't think it has really hit me. Well here's my side of our story. I had been living in Orem praying every single day and night trying to figure out where to go. My options were either stay and find somewhere in Orem, move to Cedar or Richfield. None of these felt right and I was getting so frustrated, my roommate suggested she move home to Santaquin and I move in with my sister and her family in Payson. After I prayed about this decision I knew it was right. So after our contract ended on Friday, April 20 I packed up all my stuff, rented a storage unit and moved in with my sister. That Sunday, 2 days later, I went to the Payson ward; however, it didn't feel like I belonged to that ward so I went to Salem ward. I had been there before with my friend, everyone was so friendly, and it felt like I belonged there. I was early so I went in and sat down behind a guy that I noticed the time I went before, I nicely tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if this was the singles ward. He turned around said yes, turned back around and a minute later turned around and we started talking. Well that's how it all began, about a month later we were engaged and are getting married in September. It's crazy how fast this has been going but I love him so much, I know its right and I can't wait to marry him. So in 2 months I will belong to Trevor Van Nosdol.

Finally a New Year!!

I was reading my sisters blog and decided since I am home alone with Lilly on a Saturday night it would be a perfect time to write on my blog. Since it is a new year and its tradition to write down some goals for the new year I better get on that. My first goal I am breaking as I write this is being more social. I am a homebody and would rather watch a movie in my warm bed then go out. However, this is the year that will change! (hopefully) My next goal is to start my career or find a job I love. I like working at Joann's but I don't want that as my career so when my contract ends in April I'm hoping to move out of Orem (to where I don't know yet) and find a new job. Thats basically all my goals! Oh and of course work out more often (which I hate doing) but it has to be done! My other goal is to win my dream home, which I am entering twice a day and praying a lot, 40 more days and I can stop obsessing about it!

Mangos

I finally got my roommate to take me to Costco to get my favorite things....mango slices and it was the best 12 bucks I have ever spent!!

We are going to watch Footloose tonight at the $3 movie theater and I'm so excited because all the concessions are only $1!! I'm excited about the movie too but more about getting popcorn and a slush!!

FREE!!

School is done and I am FREE no more school ever again!! I told myself that when school gets over I'll be able to do things that I've been meaning to do in a long time...such as blog and do all my crafts. If you know me I am a little obsessed with pinterest and have gotten my sisters and mom obsessed with it too. If you haven't looked at it do! I love looking at all the crafts ideas that is on there as well as all the recipes. On my computer I have a file of crafts, decorating ideas, quotes, and recipes, and I intend to do all of them (someday). The one that I have found recently that I have been wanting to do with some of my pants is turn them into skinny jeans. Well my first day of no school I finally got to turning a pair of my pants into skinny jeans. It was really easy and turned out way cute! I even took a picture so I could blog about it! I have so many other cute ideas that I can't wait to do!

So since I haven't been blogging for a long time I guess I better catch you all up on my life..its pretty boring and I haven't done anything exciting. I have been looking for a job and a new place to live. I'm still obsessed about moving into a house, but I no longer am going to buy one just rent. Now I've scaled it down to a townhouse...however, there aren't very many cute ones for rent around here. Hopefully by April when I have to move out there will be more cute ones!

That's all that's going on..not very exciting however I'm very excited about Christmas, because I get the week after Christmas off so I can stay home longer than a weekend and I'm super excited!!

Where have I been!

A lot of things have been on my mind lately and its stressing the poop out of me! And no I'm not going to move back to Richfield like last time. Here is a list of all the stress in my life!

• I was offered a job in a different town that was said will be available for me sometime next year before I left for my trip. I can back and they still hadn't made any progress. That was a month with no word or anything. I was really setting my mind to it, because if I do it I would be moving to a new city completely alone. I have family in that town but I wouldn't have anyone to move in with.
• So stresser number 2 I want a house so so so bad. I probably want a house more than I want a husband...I know that will come but a house seems more in my control. So I've been looking at houses in this area and there are some really cute ones. Its made me really really excited to buy one...ok I admit that I just really want one to decorate...I can't wait to be able to tile, tear up carpet knock down walls. I can't wait! Ask my family that's all I talk about is moving into a house!
• Since this job offer was going to take forever to get into place I decided to find a new job. $8.20 an hour is just not cutting it! Specially when I have my bachelors degree I have to be making more!
• I told my family not to tell anyone about this, because I said I would never ever try this. However, my roommate talked me into it and I decided to give it a try. Internet dating....there I said it! I admit I signed up and decided to give it a month to try. Its not going anywhere, none of the guys I message are responding back to me...so that's a little let down.

Since all of these stresses are wearing me down I decided to put them all on the back burner. I'm going to keep my job because even though that store won't open up for a while I am still getting manager training. I'm not going to worry about moving, buying a house, or getting a new job until I finish school the end of this year. By then hopefully things with that job will work out or I'll be able to find another job away from Provo/Orem. I just really want to live outside of Provo/Orem! With that said I'm going to only worry about school! So wish me luck with school because this is the last semester I will ever be doing for the rest of my life!
