One Year Mark for my Kaitsey!


One year ago today was the last time I saw my best friend Kaitlin before she left on her mission to Frankfurt, Germany! One year down and six months to go!!! :) I am so proud of her for being on a mission. I know she is the best sister missionary out there. If you don't know Kaitlin you should because she just brightens your day when you see her. She always makes you in a better mood when she is around.

I can't remember a time with out Kaitlin in my life. This year was the first time I had to do something with out her. She went on her mission and I moved to Florida in the same week to start our adventures without each other. It was hard but letters keep us together. My 22nd birthday was the first birthday I spent without my Kaitsey around. :(

The 12 things (one for every month she has been gone) I miss about Kaitlin the most!

1. I miss whenever I saw Kaitlin she will wave at you with not only one hand but two!
2. I miss playing Saved by the Bell trivia.
3. I miss her laughing at all of our inside jokes!
4. I miss going running together
5. I miss watching Cinderella story movie
6. I miss all of her Shade tank top. I think she has 50.
7. I miss that she ALWAYS had a cup of water with her
8. I miss her knowing what I am thinking at the same time.
9. I miss her room ALWAYS being clean. AKA OCD
10. I miss her blond moments (she is a brunette)
11. I miss whenever I would go over she would be wearing her slippers
12. I miss when she would get mad at you in German, before she knew German.

I miss my Kaitsey, but I know she is where she is suppose to be. She is so happy being a missionary and I can't wait to hear all the stories she has to tell. Miss you Kaitsey!

Snow Shoeing!!!

Today I got to go snow shoeing for the first time. I have never been before, Jordan, Jay, and Chelsea have all been but I was a rookie. My ball of love partner in crime Heather Fawson let me borrow her snow shoes so I could go. She is the greatest! We went up Logan Canyon, to a place called Oil trail. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! We all had a blast. We went up the side of the mountain and when we were coming down we started to go down this cliff, great for my first time. I loved being in the outdoors for a day! Here are a few pictures from the day!


The whole group at the end of our journey!
Jay and I right after I went backwards down the side of the mountain!
Jordan was our leader and he did a great job! Thanks Jord
Chels and I getting ready for the adventure
SO pretty outside!
Jay getting ready to start up the mountain again
WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS!!!

Chels fell down the mountain so she decided to take a picture of us getting down successfully
That was the mountain we both fell down!
Snow shoeing was an amazing activity for the day off. I will definitely being doing it again in the near future. If you haven't tried it yet, you've got to!
