As of late I have been really thinking what I want to do in my life. I am graduating from College in December than I don't know what I want to do for sure? There are so many options for me. I would love to move out of the country, move out of the state of Utah, work for Walt Disney, move to DC. these are just my top ideas right now. Let's be honest the sky is the limit. I was telling Ashley Taylor about this and some how we got on the subject of Dreams. As one of my hero's Walt Disney said "All Dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them." Man do I have the courage!!!
After thinking about dreams for a while I started to write them down. It has been great. I have a list of 100 dreams I want to accomplish in this life! I "enCOURAGE" you to try it! You won't regret it!!!

Missing the Princess Club!
When I lived in Florida i realized i am a Princess. Like every little girl does. I found my two best friends Princess Belle, and Princess Snow White. Us princesses had the DREAM life. We would do everything together. We would lay out every day in the AMAZING Florida weather. We had the life! We all worked at the Magic Kingdom where my house is, the castle. :) I would go back to this life style in a second. I miss my princess Snow White. I am lucky enough to be with Belle everyday but we miss Snow White.
The princess club was formed while living there. This isn't just any club? Not just anyone is welcome into the club. it is a pretty big deal to be in? Just a few reasons you would want to be in the club?
* you are royalty
* you always are beautiful
* you make little girls dreams come true
* you get a happily ever after story EVERYDAY
* you are considered to have the qualities or characteristics of a princess
* who wouldn't want that married to a prince live in a castle
* you are loved by all
* you have servants
* your friends are AMAZING!!!
These are just some of the top reasons why you would want to be in the club! We will be excepting applications from here on out.
You can see for yourself if you want to be a member of the club... We have an incredible time together. I guess you could say I am just missing my dream world today!!!

Sister bonding!!!
this weekend was the GREATEST! I got to spend it with my sister KA. I always love when I get to see her because I miss both my sisters so much. I wish I lived in DC with them... But I have to "get that degree."
KA flew in on Thursday night. I was in Orem for a dentist appointment but had to come back to Logan for class. I came down on Friday afternoon. KA and I hung out with mom and dad. My dad and I went on a bike ride because it was so beautiful in Orem. That night we all had dinner and just hung out together. Whenever KA and I get together I would say she brings out the best side of me. We just laughed and laughed and laughed for hours.
Saturday morning we woke up at three in the morning to drive to Moab. KA and her best friend Ashley ran the half marathon. I sadly didn't run it because I didn't sign up and I had to run a little further than the marathon. We got there around 6:30 in the morning to check in. We slept in the car for a while then the buses were leaving at 8:30. I decided to ask a local where to run at. Good move on my part. I think I ran the greatest run of my entire life. For people who run understand you have good running days and bad. Well Saturday was an amazing running day. I ran in this canyon that was amazing. I didn't have my camera so I was a little bummed but I got the mental shots for sure.
After I was done I ran over to the finish line so I could see them cross. I was so proud of them both. They did an amazing job. They finished the Marathon in 2:10. (I dont have any pictures because they are on KA's camera) Way to go KA and Ash. We drove home that afternoon.
Now I remember when I lived in Florida there was one thing I would crave more than anything and that is Cafe Rio. KA is the same way.We went to Cafe Rio for dinner with one of her friends. Our parents went to St. George so we had the house to ourselves. We went to Joe and Jaime's to visit with them. They are so great. Joe was hilarious! We came home around 10:30 and we were both exhausted. We got into bed and fell ended our perfect day by watching My Best Friends Wedding. What a great movie! The only thing we were missing was MJ.
This morning we got up and made the best whole wheat waffles. They were amazing. We went to church and cut a little early to go to see Aunt Edna and Sally's graves. I love going to see them. I left to come back to Logan and cried the whole way here because I miss my sisters so much.
It was an amazing weekend. All we needed to top off the weekend was MJ for the triple threat. I am so glad I got to spend time with sister KA. She is so incredible. I want to be just like her. We had a blast together and I cant wait to see her again!!! Lub you sister!
This is what you look like after you run 15 miles and you dont want to smell on the car ride home. Probably the greatest i've looked in a while.
My mommy before she left!
Best sisters! MJ is on the phone. You were there in spirit girl!

How 'bout some Basket ball!!!!
I have grown up in Utah my entire life! I have always been a Jazz fan but I have just NEVER been to a game? Some people might say I am really not a fan if I have never been to a game... It was always a dream of mine but I just never made it happen. Countless people have said "oh yeah I will totally take you to a game?" Well last night I was the lucky one to get to go to the Jazz game with Jay!!! He promised me at the beginning of the year he would take me. Another friend of mine did as well but Jay stepped up to the plate. Jay also promised Ashley because she too had never been to a Jazz game. We had INCREDIBLE seats! Thank you Jay for being true to your word!!! What an AMAZING night!!! :)

Men?
Do you think men and women will ever understand each other? The reason for this post is not to pick on men. It is to try and understand them? The last week I have had two people talk to me about the same thing. Commitment!!! That ten letter word that everyone runs away from?
I got a phone call from one of my best friends in Florida telling me about her situation with her boyfriend. Basically he doesn't want to commit. The very next day my other best friend from Florida called me with the same problem? I don't understand it. They are amazing girls and any guy would be lucky to commit to them. Why do men do this to us? I have had the same situation in the past where I was ready to commit to something and the other person wasn't. I don't understand why this happens? Why one person in the relationship is ready for something and the other isn't?
This is the other thing that blows my mind... These two girls have been dating these guys on and off for three to five years? Don't you think you would know what to do in that time period? Why the on and off business? Is it like the song "with or without you" they just can't live with us but they can't live without us either? or Is it men or women that have the issue? Maybe men or women are just scared to commit to the right thing? Like they won't be able to live up to the other person so they do the on and off business?
Well it just doesn't make sense to me.... Maybe one day it will. As for now I would love your thoughts?

My New Best Friend!!!
So I remember one of my friends, Adam, blogged about his Garmin he uses in his car one time. I thought it was a little weird but I would soon realize why he loved it so much. My new best friend, George, is a Garmin as a watch. Seriously people this is a dream come true. There is NOTHING like it when you are running.
I have been training for this marathon on April 18, 2009, which NO ONE in my family will be attending, I mean it is 26.2 miles but whatever right? I guess my parents think it is more important to visit my siblings in DC.... Don't worry I am slowly getting over the fact that this will be my second Marathon and only my sister KA has seen my cross the finish line. So if any of you want to make a trip to good old Salt Lake, in the Gate way, to witness the completion of the marathon, come on April 18 around 11:00, that is around the time I am looking to finish.
I know my cute friends will be there so I am REALLY happy I have them. but I do know for sure my new best friend George, (the Garmin) will be there. Seriously George is who I spend the most time with. We are together every single day. So naturally I had to give him a name. He is a boy because I want to impress him and run faster of course.
George does EVERYTHING!!! He tells me how fast I am going, how far, and the time. Seriously a dream come true for a runner. George also keeps a history of what I have ran and tells me the average pace. He is AMAZING!
Last week George and I got into a fight. He was mad at me because I let him charge for to long. So he wouldn't turn on. I really needed to hang out with George because I had to run 11 miles and with out him it is very hard. George wouldn't turn on so I had to run by myself. I was SO thankful for George after that. I realized I rely on him so I have to take really good care of him. The next day George turned on, we have been running ever since. Maybe even a little bit faster because he knows how grateful i am for him now!!!! George and I will see you on April 18!!!
