girl friends

I have been lucky in life to always have some solid girlfriends in my life. Growing up I was in a neighborhood with roughly ten girls my same age- we were lovingly known as the Somerset girls. I spent the better part of sixteen years with these girls. Some of my great friends were made on dance teams throughout the years, I will always love those girls. When I went away to college my roommate Katie and I had the best friendship, we are kind of each others opposites and have so much fun together (she is moving to Utah in January!).  After I got married I was in la la love land with husband and he is and always will be my best friend.  I became really close with my co-coach at Davis- Terri and love her to death. These last two years I have gotten to know a group of girlfriends that I love with my whole heart, I always have so much fun and can be my crazy self. I sometimes feel like just as I get to find good friends they have to move away- which happened with a couple of my friends lately. But all in all I am just grateful tonight for friendship- for girls nights. I love my husband and son, but it is so nice to get out and just be one of the girls!

Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but here's my number- so COLOR me Maybe?

Salt Lake City Color Run 2012!
Jen, Andrea, and I had SO much fun this morning!
It was such a great 5k and it was a party the whole way through!
Here are some shots from the Race (that wasn't really a race, more just a party!)

lunch date!

Today I got together with some of my oldest and loveliest friends! 

We went to Robintino's (YUMMM) 

and sat and talked for another hour and a half after we were through eating. 

I sure do love having great friends, 

they mean so much to me and it was nice to see them at this time of year! 

We go far too long without seeing each other sometimes, 

but when we do get together... 

it is like not one day has passed. 

So for your viewing pleasure, 

an oldie-but a goodie from the past and the current picture from today! 

Happy Holidays!!

eminem is my jam right now.

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now!


I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road


Played this on repeat all day today. 


An amazing friend left me a little pick me up on my car today, I got it after my morning drill team practice and I got in my car and literally cried when I got it... because I am having a rough week, and I needed it probably even more than she could have ever known. I am so blessed to have such good friends and an amazing family, not to mention my husband who is my rock, who I would be lost without.  


On a different note from Eminem, 


Gordon B. Hinckley said: 
"‎keep trying, be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged, things will work out"


I am trying really really hard to live this quote right now.

excited.

{circa March 2006}

My favorite and best roommate is coming to visit.

She is coming for my birthday (well close to it) 

That was her present this year to me, her.

It is the best present ever.

Seriously, she is the coolest ever.

Katie, I will see you in 24 hours. 

I am so so so so so happy. 

In other news, I have three tests on the same day, 

which also happens to be my birthday. 

(okay one is the day after, but still)

Also, I am going to NYC for the first time in a month.

It is a quick tiny little Nationals trip w/ my team,

but I am really excited for this as well.

All talking points in this post were supposed to be about excitement..

I realize that test taking is not exciting. Fail.

New drill team try-outs are quickly approaching,

best part- I have assistant coaches next year.

Who are yet to be named...

I have hired them, of course.

I just can't tell y'all who they are yet. 

I also hired my choreographers for next year.

I am way too organized. It's a disease. 

Last note, I have been debating getting a Nook.

I like books a lot, I read constantly.

It would be real convenient to have a e-reader.

But then I wouldn't get the smell or the putting it on my shelf.

Thoughts? 

xoxox,
