A Night Out with the Girls

This past weekend I got to come home. It was the best! I got to see and spend time with so many people I love. Although I only got to stay three days, I soaked in every minute of it.

I love Vegas!

I love being Home!

Saturday night one my best friends from high school, Julie, celebrated her 21st birthday! It was SO fun to go out with all the girls. Nights like these make some of the best memories.

Happy Birthday Marlo!

HaPpY BiRThDaY!!!

You don't know how much I wish I could be in Texas right now to Celebrate with you! I know you guys are having too much fun going to Chuy's, opening presents, watching movies, eating cupcakes and playing with Drake! I hope you have the BEST BEST day. Couldn't have asked for a better sister. Seriously Marlo you are Amazing.

I LOVE YOU!!

3 weeks?!

3 weeks since my last post?!

Well I'm back :)

Back to School... Back to Blogging

Life has been SO busy lately. It definitely feels good to be back at school. I've been having a lot of fun so far. I just love everything about fall semesters- The colors, the football games, the holidays, the people, and most importantly it's

still warm in UT!

Here are a few of my favorite highlights of the semester so far:

The Storytelling Festival

Every year storytellers from across the nation come to participate in a huge storytelling festival in Timpanogos. I had never known about this until this year. Apparently it is a huge deal! Cortney and I got to go a couple weeks ago. There are a variety of performances you can attend and they cater to all different age groups. We went to Starry Night (aka Scary Stories). It turned out to be pretty neat- definitely go!

Freshman Girls

Every 4-6 months the girls from my freshman year all get together for a reunion. It is so fun and pretty awesome we get to do this so often. These girls are amazing. We really lucked out getting such a great group of girls on our floor.

Jessie, me, Sarah, Emmy, Cortney

Kimber, Ellie, Amy

Kate, Marie, Whitney, Stacey

Love you girls!!

Park City

Last saturday, Cortney, Cory, Madilyn, Taylor, and I all went up to Park City to watch bYu get killed by Air Force :/. Although the game was pretty rough we had a lot of fun altogether!

I CAN'T WAIT for Landry to be home in 3 months!!

Cafe Paesan

So does anyone love Cafe Rio just as much as I do? Well the creators of Cafe Rio just made a new restaurant with Italian Food. IT IS AMAZING. I don't know if it is only in UT but if you have the chance, you have to try it out!! Promise. It's good.

World of Dance

My friend Cortney is one amazing dancer. She is apart of the Contemporary Touring Team for BYU. Her team along with others, perform together in a big production call the World of Dance. Jessie and Daniel came down for it and we all went to support our girl! She did great!! :)

Dan is Back!

The first week of my freshman year at byu, I met my new roommate Jessie. The day I met her was the day her missionary, Elder Breisch, went into the MTC. Just last thursday he made it back home from Manchester, England. It has been so fun being there from the very beginning to the very end.

My experience up at school would not have been the same with out this beautiful girl. We've had so much fun over these past two years, and really I feel like i've known her my whole life.

Cortney and I were invited to come with the Breisch and Hash families to the airport to take pictures. It was so amazing to be there. I am so glad I got to be apart of their special day.

Welcome home Daniel!

Feel like tearing up?

So I walk into the kitchen this morning to find everybody watching this video and wiping their eyes. It the sweetest video of American soldiers coming home and surprising their loved ones.

Watching these kids run to their dads and melt in their arms made me just about loose it. ha You have to watch it.

I love Homecomings

I love my Family

I love America

...

I love You Tube

Arizona

For a couple days this week, I got to go down to AZ to visit one of my best friends Cortney! We have so much fun together and I'm excited to live with her again in the fall. I love her. This trip was too short.. miss you already girl! :)

I love Mississippi...

Landry is an amazing missionary. Every letter I get from him, I can feel how much he loves being out there serving the Lord. He is able to deliver a simple message every day that will so greatly affect people's lives for eternity. I am so proud of him and all the hard work he has put into his mission.

Here's a few of my favorite pictures from his last area in Mississippi.

Two Elder Petersons!

Elvis was born in Tupelo, MS!

If you know me well enough, you know why I love this picture ha

One year and a half down!

He just got transferred back to Alabama!
