The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I just got done reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" for, what feels like, the 100th time. If you haven't read this book, I strongly recommend that you do. It's a short book and very easy to get through. It's letters from this boy named Charlie. Charlie is starting high school and is writing letters to an anonymous person because, he says, "I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have." I will never get sick of this book, Charlie has a special place in my heart.

This book will take you back to high school, back to your first love, back to your first real party, back to those moments when you felt "infinite". It will make you laugh and cry and it will make you remember how naive and innocent you once were. It will make you appreciate the "weird" kid in school. This book reminds me that no matter how bad life is, it's not how you fall but how you pick yourself back up.

Berlin's first hair cut!

I can't believe it!! My sister cut Berlin's hair into a short lil' A line! Her hair was getting so long! Now it's all gone! But still super cute. My sister said Berlin would never let her do her hair. She'd rip out all her ponies and braids! So, Lacey said she had no choice. I love the cut, but can't wait for it to grow out.

OH, big news! Berlin turns the big THREE on the 30th of June. It's almost here!!!

Whit's Nuptuals

My beloved lil' JAB VP, Whitney, is now married.
For those of you who don't know what JAB is, it's where the majority of the best school year of my life was spent. JAB, or Jordan Activities board, was where Nicole, Spencer, Jessalyn, Josh, John, Whitney, and I got to goof around and put together school activities. We had so much fun together, we were a little family. Memories of Whitney singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" like a creepy old woman, John yelling out "GO JAB!" in the middle of EVERY class, and having sleep overs in the student pavilion for karaoke night, will stay with me forever.

GO JAB!

Well, Miss whitney was our VP on JAB and she got HITCHED!!
Her wedding was so beautiful! We had some fun decorating her moms car with whip creme, marshmallows, and oreo's. Oh, and of course a few condoms. :)Her wedding felt like a mini JAB reunion (minus John who's partying it up in the dirty south). I absolutely approve and love her new hubby, Shane. I'm just sad she's moving to south carolina for good! this just means JAB road trip!

Furguson Canyon Ridge.

This is my new favorite hike.

The trail head is just south of the mouth of big cottonwood canyon. You turn into the neighborhood on the east side of the street and drive up to the top where the water tower is. It's not a very difficult hike and its G O R G E O U S . There's also alot of really good places to rock climb if you're into that. It's very shady most of the way up.

Nicole, Cameron, Herschel and I took this hike and I had a blast. You've probably noticed I always have to include pictures, so here ya' go!

Heber trip!

Miss Jenn-ay and I went on an Adventure in Heber.

The Drive:

If you know me, you know I can't help but to get wild and dance like a rock star in my car. If you've ever been on any kind of automobile adventure with me you also know that my enthusiasm is contagious. It wasn't long before Jenny was dancing with me. :)

Can you say "Fresh Fudge"? :
Okay, this is very important. The homestead at Heber has the best, and when I say best I mean BEST, Fudge ever. I definitely recommend you go and get some. :)

The Scenery:
The rest of our trip we walked around the homestead. It's absolutely beautiful up there. They have a natural hot spring they call the Crater. You can go swimming in it, it’s basically a cave. Here are a few more pictures. ENJOY!

Atmosphere concert!!!

Okay, so Atmosphere.♥♥♥
If you've never listened to this amazing artist, it's time you did.
I don't think a week goes by that I'm not jamming to "Lucy Ford", "God loves ugly", "Sad clown, bad summer", "se7ens travels", or "when life gives you lemons you paint that shit gold" in my car.

Well, my ladies and I went to his concert Easter 2009. :)
I just have to say it was A M A Z I N G .

I even bought a hoodie:

The Story:

I'm just a girl...

Living Life ♥

I think I know about life.
I think I know what I want from it.
I think I've got a plan.

But then...
one thing can happen that shifts E V E R Y T H I N G .

So the truth is, I don't know.
But I'm working to figure it out.

The Details:

I have three amazing jobs. :)
First, I am a clinical research coordinator for LCR.
Second, I work on the IV team up at Primary Childrens hospital.
and Last, I teach a phlebotomy and IV class in sugarhouse.

I have the most amazing best friends a girl could ask for.

There's Lady Jones:
This amazing woman keeps me grounded. ♥

Then There's my Pocket Size:
This lil' hippie makes sure I remember how to have fun. ♥

Trevor. Oh, Trevor:
This boy and I bicker like we're married.

Codizzle:
The picture says it all.

My sister is my life line. Without her I really don't know what I would do or how I'd get by. I can hardly go one day without talking to her. She is absolutely amazing and stunning. Her husband, Ryan, is the most amazing brother in law.

Lacey & Ryan: ♥
