Remember that one time

Once upon a time I was in high school and this was my car. We sold it today. As we did so I felt a little pang of sadness. So I had to have a tribute blog post about this car. We had some good times. 

Like the time mom ran into a pole the day she bought it.

And all those times listening to weezer and dashboard and other such high school music while driving to things like orthodontic appointments with Devin, stake dances, driving home from thatcher on weekends and eventually making trips from provo.

 Remember that one time I switched lines and apparently didn't check my blind spot for a ginormous truck and I hit him. There was not a scratch on his truck and I was pretty sure I charmed him into not calling it into the insurance companies but he did and my parents were mad. 

There were lots of ornaments that hung here. Like the fish hooks that have the cute little rubber fish on them. They were cute until one day i hooked my figure. Man that hurts. I always had my dragon up though. Kendle gave it to me from china town. Its supposed to be good luck.

The sunroof worked once upon a time and there were some good times with that like when my driver side window was acting up and we went through the drive through at burger king and they had to give us our food through the sun roof but eventually it broke and we had to seal it shut because it was too expensive to fix.

The back windows stopped working really early on and dad used cocking to seal them shut. Another time when my driver side window wasn't working right I got pulled over and could only roll down my window a third of the way and the officer thought I was going to kill him when he got close.

 Some other good times...

One time after ceramics in thatcher there was a beetle in my pant leg. I was scratching my knee and there was a big bump on it so I reached up and grabbed it and pulled it out and I was only freaking out a little until Kendle screamed just to freak me out more so I screamed and jumped out of the car while it was in reverse and while I did the freak out dance Kendle stopped the car and drove us both home where i promptly undressed and checked the rest of my clothes for beetles.

All the late night trips to Walmart to get ice cream sandwiches while we talked about boy problems.

The time where I helped either Kendle or Kara (I'm sorry I can't remember) ditch school by hiding her in my trunk. I don't think it was necessary to do that but it was funny to watch the people walking by as she climbed out of my trunk. 

Love you little camry and I will probably not miss you too much but I will miss the reminders of good times.

Thanks Kendle

Kendle has always been my inspiration and my partner in painting. One of the best parts of living with her was her advice and expertise on painting. I had many sketches that i wanted to paint just never got around to it. I kept getting texts frome kendle with her paintings asking me what i thought or i would see on her blog what she had recently painted and i was jealous... lol so inspiration through jealousy and kendles amazing talent. Anyway so i finished 3 paintings that have been on paper for so long and now are finally on canvas. check em out!

The brown squares are in my bathroom above my toilet. The other two are just hanging in the second bedroom. It was fun to paint again. I hope i do it more and more

Happy Halloween!

Well as much as i don't like Halloween this one was pretty good. I throughly enjoyed getting dressed up. one year Kendle and i were super heroes and we had the coolest eyelashes. we wanted to do something this year with really cool eyelashes so we went and bought eyelashes as soon as they were at walmart the beginning of October. So we've been trying to think of things to be that would go with our eyelashes. the best idea we had was cats. i wanted Jared to match me and i couldn't think of anything for him to be. i asked Kristen a couple days ago and she suggested a butterfly and a butterfly catcher. it was brilliant! the eyelashes we had gotten were totally bug eyelashes. i told Kendle and she came up with the idea of a ladybug! super cute. I then told jared the idea and he wanted something more manly and fierce... something with a sword. last night we went to go get him a sword and it was big and ugly so i tried to convince him to be something better then a man with a big ugly sword. i won as usual.. I'm lucky to have Jared who loves me enough to give into what i want without too much begging and pestering. so instead of a bug catcher we made him a stick bug! we were the best dressed at our ward party by far!Hope you all had a happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday Kendle!

Kendle has been my best friend for a long time. Ever sense my junior year! We've been through alot together. We've laughed. We cried. We've had some freakin good times. We've changed alot and yet we are still just as good of friends and we will be for a long time to come! I'm so happy shes in Utah now and I'm so sorry i went and got engaged so its not how we thought it was going to be but its still been good. I'm so glad shes here to help me prepare for a wedding. Especially finding a wedding dress! I love you Kendle!

So for Kendles 21st birthday we HAD to do something special. we went to the ZOO! we were both way freakin excited!

Here's some of the animals we saw! they had an albino alligator! they called it the ghost of the bayou...legend has it that anyone gazing onto the blue eyes of the rare white alligator will be blessed with good luck for the coming year, and prosperity will surely fallow. ooooo! They also had really cute little monkeys and a really cool giraffe house where you could go upstairs and look into their faces. It was a way fun zoo.

we went to the elephant show. there was supposed to be two elephants doin stuff but the other one didn't feel like it so he walked away...

We also got dippin dots which is my favorite thing in the whole world! they need to sell it more places. and rode on the train around discovery land!! it was way fun!

there was a pretty sweet gift shop too..

looking back

of coarse i am at work with nothing to do. so i am going to blog about something random that just crossed my mind. I stole this picture from Kendle. thanks Kendle for letting me steal it. the summer session is starting to get worse but it still has its moments of slowness. anyway if you read Kristen's or Adrian's or Kendle's blogs you would know that our little brother and sister went to prom together! they are super cute together and my brother is a stud muffin! i love them to death and i am so jealous the Kristen Adrian and Kendle were all in Tucson for this event. anyways kendle put this picture up and it made me think of those days back in high school. it seems like forever ago no joke. its funny to look back on that and see how much we've changed and how much we've learned and experienced. How we thought we would always be best friends and now some of us have grown apart and moved on and some of us are even better friends. i am so grateful for the friends I've had. there is not a life experience that I've had that my friends didn't help me through. sometimes i didn't listen when they tried to help me and sometimes i made them really mad but in the end they were just as good as friends as they have always been. although our prom night may not have been the best (some of us have our regrets) we had a lot of fun together and this picture is stinkin cute. especially in black and white (good choice Kendle). I can't wait for Kendle to move to Provo in June. we are going to have some good freakin times!!
