See Ya Later Ya'll!

In just a few short hours I will be set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so excited, nervous, scared, thrilled and basically any other emotion you can think of!! Saying goodbye to my close friends and family tonight will be one of the hardest things I will ever have done. But I am so ready for this next step in my life and I am filled with joy at the thought of spending the next 18 months of my life teaching people about the most important thing in my life- the gospel. Well wish me luck and please please please write me!! Well until October 2009, See ya'll!!

Goodbye Party!

I couldn't just have an open house after my talk where people just came and mingled politely- that's just not me!! So instead I went out in style!!! We had a good 'ol fashioned Texas BBQ in my backyard on Saturday night. It turned out great, lots of people came, my grandpa grilled some amazing burgers and I got to hang out with all my friends and family! It was the perfect way to say goodbye AZ hello TEXAS!!!

Jennie is amazing and she makes the yummiest cupcakes!! She made them into a Texas flag and they looked to good to eat!!

My friends Aaron and Jenesse

Such a silly litte Annie!!

I am gonna miss this girl like crazy!!!!

My friend Lindsay Frost and her adorable baby girl Bekah stopped by and it was so good to see them!!

Brother Campbell said he wore his cowboy hat just for me and that nobody else could get him to do it. How sweet!

My 21st Birthday

I spent my 21st Birthday (Last Thursday) riding the Dunes at Glamis in California!! It was so Awesome!!!

Our whole group out in the dunes (I'm the one on the white quad)

My cousins Max and Allison totally adore my uncle's friend KT.

I love this pic of Max, it is so funny because he was trying to act all cool and stuff!! He is such a silly boy!

Maxy man on his 90.

My uncle brought his big rocket and when they shot it off several of the kids jumped on their quads and raced into the dunes to get the rocket

Jake- ready to go chase the rocket

I love this girl!! One of the best parts of my trip to the dunes was spending 72 hours with my favorite cousins!!

My Uncle Jeff rides into camp on the Suzuki 400

Jake just loves it when I make him take pictures with me!! lol

I tried to steal some of Max's snowcone, and as you can tell he wasn't too keen on that idea! lol

Laura Lou and I

In celebration of my birthday we set off the biggest Sobe Bomb I have ever seen!!!

It was so cool, but it was definitely a good thing everyone scooted way back because when it exploded it sent stuff flying!!

Family Photo Shoot

For some reason we busted up singing "The Sun will Come Out Tomorrow" from Annie and this pic was totally captured candid. Hilarious!!



This one is my Favorite!!


This is what happens after taking too many pictures!!



These are just a few pics from our family photo shoot at Mesa Arts Center. Thanks for taking the pics Jennie!!

Best Friends Photo Shoot

I would consider my self blessed to have one best friend but I am so lucky as to have two friends that are the very best!! They are the kind of people that I can call in the middle of the night because my car broke down, they are the ones who will rush right over with a gallon of ice cream when I have one of those "nothing could go right" kind of days and best of all they are the two people that can make me laugh like nothing else!! I love the crap out of them and I will miss them like crazy!! I just have to hope that they stay single until I get back so we can go boy hunting together! lol

My Last Suns Game

Look at that half time score- Dang!!


I went to my last Suns game Tuesday night and it was a great one!! We killed the grizzlies and Shaq hustled like crazy he even chased a loose ball into the PHX bench and sent the team fleeing!! It was awesome! I am not gonna lie as we were waiting for the game to start and they did the player introductions- I got a little sad and almost cried!! I know I am pathetic but I LOVE being fully invested aka obsessed with something and it will be hard to for me to leave Phoenix Suns basketball behind!!

My last day of Kindergarten

I was sad to leave my job because I love it so much!!! The kids were so cute and they were in tears that I was leaving. I will miss them!!!

My teacher that has taught me so much and is my inspiration for wanting to teach Kindergarten.
Erin O'Bryant and me

This is the book the kids made me for my last day, it is so cute!! They each wrote me a letter and drew a picture. At least half of the letters said they wanted to move in with me!! They are so sweet!
