A new hobby...

I have this crazy new adventure to add...

I am now involved in this modeling shoot for Abugayle Smythe photography. There are two other girls who are going to be in the shoot too! We are doing this old fashion look. The shoot is for Miss Ruby Sue Hair and its going to be legit! A store in town is giving us wardrobe and I am really excited. Obviously this isn't the look were going for haha but this is a practice photo that she took of me.... i seem to have a hard time being serious, but hey what can i say!? I am a happy person! More to come :)....

Waiting all my life

i could not be any happier than i have been the past few days; everything seems to be going just as planned! School is coming so quick and the closer it gets the more ready I feel to be there. I know that if i keep busy and stay on the straight and narrow time will haul by and I will be able to be reunited with my best friends again. I am thankful for the direction that my path of life is heading and i hope that i will be able to travel on it with a smile. Times are changing... i am ready :)

Step by step... things change :)

Come support me and my new mascot....

Go Mustangs!

look at us now!

"Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart."

It is such a neat thing to be so close with one of my siblings... especially my older brother. Jordon is my example in life; i know that we both look up to each other and we both learn from one another. I love him with all my heart. It has been a crazy experience not having him around to talk to. I think that one of the things I miss about Jordon are the long talks that we had at night. We would stay up for hours and have " heart to heart" conversations. Here are a few things I miss about my big brother:

• "Ye Gods"
• watching him chug down protein
• listening to the fan on at night so he could sleep
• him asking me if he looks like a GQ model
• a consistent friend
• someone to look out for me
• hours of searching things on the internet for the best brand
• YKK zippers...
• being 10 min late for work and not realizing it
• "Hey sis can you make me some ramen?"
• Random text: "I love you sis, thanks for being you."

Overall I just miss my constant supporter. I am so thrilled that in 678 days I get to see him! I am for ever in debt to him for our friendship... i love you jordy do work!

truth

dress up :)

I seem to always have a good time with my 2 best friends. I know that they will stick up for me always. A few weeks before they left I got them to dress up ;) and now since they are gone and wont kill me I can show the world what they looked like...

Thanks for putting up with me! ♥

I'm gunna miss you

-Tim McGraw

I couldn't be more grateful for my best friend Haley Fogle. She has been by my side through thick and thin. I know that even though we are going opposite directions in our lives we will always know that we have each others back. She is one of the hardest workers that I know and I know that she will go far in her life. Her boyfriend Landen Dickey is a total stud and I am glad that he can make her happy/ I love you "Knick"... lets be friends forever....

coaches...

honestly if you would've asked me about high school sports my junior year i would've cried ha. i have grown so much over the past year... or should i say 9 months. I give myself the credit for working hard but i just wanna give a quick shout out to Coach Jensen. Even though i wanted to cry most practices he helped me so much to dig down deep. I will always take his coaching tactics with me... and his famous quote "Pain is mental" haha love you coach! Thanks for pushing me when i needed it most!

Now lets see how Coach Renoylds goes :) I am stoked!!

accomplishing a life long goal:

Swimming... oh how i longed to swim! I know it sounds silly that an 18 year old couldn't swim but thats my story. I have always deep down wanted to swim but was too chicken to do so. I have learned the older that i get that i need to set my fears aside and try to accomplish my goals. My fear of swimming was tremendous; that is until last Thursday. I decided to take private swimming lessons up at BYU-I. I was nervous like crazy but i still went. I am proud to say that my second swim lesson i back stroked the length the pool twice (even in 17 foot deep water ;) ) I am grateful that I am finally conquering my fear!

Roommates...

Kara :)

Arielle :)

Candace :)

a while ago I was informed of who I would be rooming with and I am thrilled with it! We have been chatting back and forth about what to bring and who is in charge of what and it is making me excited. Candace and I will be sharing a room... we are going to have a blast!! August 7 couldn't come sooner!

Hello Wyoming :)

‎"I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down."

- Mia Hamm

I am more than excited to go and compete doing something that I love. Nothing is better than slamming the ball down some girls face and screaming into the net :) I am so thankful for this opportunity that I have to push myself to the limit and find out my potential. I know that the path is going to be bumpy but I am ready to ride it. Sweat... tears... hard work... sleepy eyes... it'll all be worth it!

Go Mustangs!!

Hobbs Family

The Monday before Mark left on his mission his whole family was able to take family pictures. I loved being there with them and holding all the nieces and nephews while the parents took photos. Mark's family is super kind to me and make me feel loved. I had a wonderful time being able to take some photos with them. His parents have raised some wonderful children and I know that Mark is one lucky guy to have such a wonderful family!

Move along... move along

It has once been said that “Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” I totally agree with this quote and think that it applies to my life like crazy now. So many things have changed and are still changing that I feel like all I have to look back on is the memories. Jordon and Mark are now missionary's and are far from home which is hard. It was like losing my 2 very best friends in one short week. I am very thankful for them and for the sacrifices they are making and i know that they will be blessed for it. These next two years will hopefully fly by; I just need to keep myself busy! 713 days to go... baby steps of progress!
