thai & latin dance

Last night the roomies & I went out to a thai restaurant for dinner. It was delicious! It reminded me of when my friend Ariana and I enjoyed pad thai one evening after I was finished at the Archives in DC. Such great memories in such a great city….Anyways, this thai restaurant was quite tasty & it was really wonderful going out for dinner as roommates. I enjoyed chow mein and loved trying a sample of the different dinners from everyone’s plate. Emily & I shared fried ice cream for dessert. I was surprised by how scrumptious it was! I only wish there was a yummy greek restaurant, chipotle, and chick-fil-a around...


From embracing thai cuisine, we went to a latin dance party at an apartment lounge. I got my salsa on & we all had a great time trying to tango. I love exploring diverse cultures and trying something different, this time, a style of dance.

Traveling to Virginia beach, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, UT, and ID-where I toured my future campus




Embracing the Dark Knight in me, just have to work on the flying part




Helping with Clark's eagle project



Dancing my heart out at mo-prom




Graduating HS, WHOO!





Rexford's graduation from elementary school


Becoming a seminary graduate


Turning the big 18



 MGMT concert


Strengthening great, unforgettable friendships












Began my job at the National Archives


wisdom teeth extraction & fully appreciating laughing gas



I LOVED being involved with Youth Conference & going with daddio




Jack Johnson concert



hunter coming home



enjoying a fantastic christmas.


AND in a few days I'll be starting college!

2010 is going to be hard to top, but I'll try anyway.

Sipping delicious martinelli's sparkling apple cider was a fantastic celebration to the new year. Yummy belgium waffles for breakfast right after? Don't mind if I do:)
