New Car!

Ok, so I bought a new car, finally!!! I actually got it a couple weeks ago, but I am super super bad at getting on here. I'm working on that. I used to have a 2002 Ford Escort ZX2, which was a small two door sports car. It was a good little car for a little while, but it wasn't super practical for the long run. So, my mom got me started again on looking at cars which I had no intention of doing until next spring. I actually was just going to buy new tires for winter, but a new car is SO much BETTER!!! And here we go...I bought...drum roll....

A 2009 FORD ESCAPE XLT!!!

Here is a stock photo of what my car looks like, same color and everything... (sorry I have not yet taken a picture of mine, its kinda dirty from the snow storms).



I absolutely LOVE my new car! There are many great features about it that just make me so happy, and I actually love getting in it to drive to work everyday. Also, I'm super happy that this car will last me quite a long time, and is more practical for things like a family, camping, and loading my snowboarding stuff. Haha! I am also super excited to go snowboarding. Anyways, I love my new baby, but I still have yet to name her. :) Any suggestions???

Big Decisions...

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have written on my blog. But there is good reason. Just keep reading and you'll understand.

First things first. I"M GRADUATED!!!! I graduated on August 14th of this year, and received my Bachelor of Science in Paralegal Studies from Utah Valley University. I am pretty stoked to be done with my undergrad, but it is really weird being out of school.

Although after I graduated, the studying didn't stop. I was studying like crazy for the LSAT (Law School Admission Test). I took that test on September 26th, and then started a long 3 week wait for my test results. Although that night I was able to attend a concert with one of my best friends. We went and saw Benton Paul, Michael Johns, and Brooke White! It was a lot of fun,and nice to actually relax for once in my life.

Well, the dreaded 3 week wait ended just over a week ago. I received my LSAT results. I received an email, and seriously looked at the Subject Line for like 3 minutes before I actually opened the email. Then I found out how I did. Unfortunately I did not do very well at all. I was devastated, as most of you know that I can be when I don't do as well as I would like to. This last week has been really hard for me to try and figure out what I am going to do. There isn't a law school that will let me in with the score that I have, so I have to take it again. It's just a matter of when. At first I was going to take it again in December, but I feel like if I push myself even more then I will still not do very well, and I'd rather not waste another $130 dollars. I have pretty much been going to school since I was 5 years old, and have not taken a break at all, so I am pretty burnt out, and have no desire to study. So I have come to the decision to take some time off and relax, and just work. I will be taking the LSAT again in June, after I take a prep class that will cost me a lot of money, haha! But it will hopefully be worth it and get me the score that I need to get into school.

It has been one of the hardest decisions for me to make in my life because I love school so much. It will be hard for me to be out of school for 2 years, but I think its what I need to do. As my closest friends and family have said, God has something else in mind for you for the next year. I just need to have faith that this is what needs to happen and I will be ok. So...that is my decision! I will not be attending Law School til Fall 2011. Crossing my fingers!

Although I am looking for a new job with a legal position. If anyone knows of anything out there, I would greatly appreciate it! Let me know!!!

Best Movie Ever!!!

Everyone should go see The Proposal! It is by far one the funniest movies that I have seen lately...it will give you a very good laugh. :)

Birthday & Oregon Vacation

So the last week and a half has been amazing!!! My 22nd birthday was on Friday May 22nd! I had a bonfire with a bunch of my friends up provo canyon...here are some pics. :)
This is my Golden Year purse that my friend Angie gave me...she put a bunch of candy with golden wrappers in it. I think it's awesome!This is one of my bestest friends ever, Denise!!! I freakin love this girl!Another one of my good friends, Nicole, made me this cake. I was in awe! It was amazing and tasted great as well. :) So overall, my birthday was awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Right after my birthday bonfire I went straight to Salt Lake with my friend Denise. She dropped me off at my other friend Brook's apartment where I slept that night. We were leaving the next morning for Oregon for a vacation. Brook leaves tomorrow for her mission to Louisiana, and so I went home with her for a week to spend some time with her. Here are some pictures from our adventure. :)Brook, Me, and Denise (all of us met freshman year at the U), taking our last picture together before Brook leaves. The next morning (the 23rd), Brook and I got up early and packed her car. We were literally holding stuff in the car trying to shut the back of it. It was so full!!!On the beautiful drive to Oregon! Actually...this is the best part of the drive, when you get into the Northern end of Oregon, driving along the Columbia River, looking at Washington on the other side. The 12 hour drive was a lot of fun! But we were both happy to get to Brook's house.The Portland Temple! It is really pretty!!! This is when we went and hiked Silver Creek Falls. There are about 10 different falls spanning about 7 miles that you can hike around. We made it around about 7 of them which was about 5 miles. It is so beautiful up there, the falls are amazing!!! If you ever go to northern Oregon, go hike these falls, you won't regret it. And of course I had to take a picture of me and Brook. :)Pacific City beach! This was the place that I got the most sunburnt. :) It was such a beautiful day at the beach, and we had a lot of fun! This is one of the best pictures I got while we were there. Again, me and Brook on the beach...this is the last picture I got to take with her for the next year and a half. On Sunday the 31st I came home. I took my first airplane ride. :) It was pretty cool. It was hard to leave Brook in Oregon at the airport, but all is well. The hardest was for me to call her about an hour ago and say goodbye for the last time. I will admit I was crying, but she is one of my best friends. I'm glad I got to spend a week and a half with her before she left. It was definitely a great week. :)

It's been awhile!

So, I haven't blogged in a little while, but I have been super busy with school. Although I am glad to report that I am finished with spring semester....but I start summer semester on Thursday. On a positive note, I graduate after summer semester. :) I can't wait for August to get here!!! So, a lot has happened, but I can't really remember all that I have done. Back in February I do believe is when I went and saw David Archuleta in concert. He was actually really good, I really enjoyed the concert. Also, one of my all time favorite singers was there as well, Benton Paul! The concert was so much fun...I went with three of my favorite people. Denise, Brook, and Jess. :) Right now I don't have any pics on my computer...so I do apologize for lack of photography. Haha

I am really excited for the upcoming month of May though. It is going to be a great month!!! I start my last semester this week. It's been a long four years coming, but I am so glad I can see the end. This next weekend I will be in Salt Lake for my friend Brook's farewell. My 22nd birthday is on the 22nd of May. I guess that means this is supposed to be my golden year...who knows! The 23rd-31st I will be in Oregon with my friend Brook before she leaves on her mission to Louisiana! It is going to be the best week ever! I can't wait to get out and take a vacation. :) So, for right now that is is...I am going to start blogging more though, you can count on that. Hopefully I will have some good summer adventures!!!
