Travel Log

My roommate and I were talking about how funny it is when you ask someone where they are from and they give you a travel log. Sometimes you honestly dont care where they are from its just a conversation starter but sometimes I honestly care and think it is interesting and kinda tells about a person and why they might view the world and life the way they do depending on where they have grown up. Normally the answer you want is the place where they spent most of their life or high school years.

I think that everyone should get a chance to move outside of Utah sometime in their life, maybe even out of the United States, but at least move around a little in your life, try new things, get to know new people and new experiences.

my travel log:

Born in Houston, Texas. Well actually in Spring Texas. Next my family moved to Murray, Utah. We lived there for a couple years. We moved into my grandparents house in Ogden, Utah for the next few years while they were in Hawaii.

Summer before 2nd grade I moved to Taylorsville, Utah and lived there until I moved to college. I call this city home.

College life of SUU moved me down to Cedar City. I love it here too and feel like its my new home becuase I have lived here for the past 2 1/2 years.
besides my studies in Monterrey, Mexico where I did study abroad and had the TIME OF MY LIFE!

I cant wait to travel more and maybe even live other places so I can add onto my travel log haha.

GREAT weekend!

My leg is better! maybe not 100% but this weekend......

I returned to work and taught skiing lessons on Thursday. Go BrianHead.

Went rockclimbing after classes on Friday.

Watched TWILIGHT with my roommates at the school.

Went to Janice Kapp Perry for a relief society activity. She sang and spoke, gave good tips:

• If you want to be happy at the end of your life, make good choices today.
• Women can do it all, they just need to do it in sequence and in the right season of life.
• Overcome fears and keep trying new things.
• The little things we do in life make a difference and have the most value.

My parents came down!! And its the first time my cupboards and fridge have been full since I moved here, had any decorations hanging on my bedroom wall, my dad fixed my drawer and mom gave me a valentine present. Thanks mom and dad! They are the best.

Then we went to RED DRESS GALA for Alpha Phi and it was so amazing! Good food, speaker, best friends and beautiful dresses! We raised money for womens cardiac care awareness all philanthropy week. I am so thankful I am in this great organization!!

We slept over at my aunt and uncles, Maureen and Marks, in St George and that was fun too!

Got a letter from my Elder in Brazil!

Okay so hopefully I didnt overdo it, but it was a great weekend! I love life!

The Bachelor

My life has nothing too exciting going right now so I have to talk about reality TV shows... I LOVE the bachelor! It is a fun TV show to watch no matter how lame people think it is. The last 3 girls are my favorite- Jillian, Melissa and Molly. But who is the right one for Jason?? I was surprised that Jillian was kicked off but I dont know who will win. If you watch it who do you think?? And who do you want and why?

he's just NOT that into YOU

my roommates and i saw this movie on friday...and I love it. I would recommend it to everyone.


girls need to realize that sometimes boys really arent into themi have come up with a theory of why girls and boys cant be "just friends." A boy and a girl might be great friends, get along great, have fun times together but honestly it is hard for a boy and a girl to be just friends because after a while outsiders start to think that there is more than just friends so it becomes a waste of time for both parties because you loose chance with everyone else that might be interested. Okay so im not sure if this is making sense. but it makes sense to me. either that or one person always wishes there is more and the other really does want to be just friends.

Well this being said...it is still my goal to be just friends with people, even guys but it gets hard at times. I am just thankful I have a good group of girlfriends! and an amazing missionary...who by the way gets home in exactly 6 months! wahoo! But i mean after seeing this movie and realizing i havent heard from him in a while maybe hes not that into me either. Life goes on! I am happy being single!

be careful what you wish for

When I was young, about 5 years old, I envied people with crutches. I thought oh wow that looks like fun swinging on those 2 sticks. So I would jump out of the tree that I knew was a little too high asking my mom if it was ok to break my leg.Now looking back I dont know why I would ever want crutches.

I have always loved to ski. When I was in 8th or 9th grade i was going skiing with my friend Anna. She freaked herself out because we skiied on black diamond run and fell and broke her ankle. She got to ride in the tabogin with the ski patrol. I wouldnt say i was jealous but I did think it looked kinda fun t ride down behind a snowmobile.Now looking back I wonder why I wanted to ride in a tabogin that only injured people ride in.

When I was a junior in high school I decided to start snowboarding. It looked challenging but fun. So i gave it a try. It is so fun and I love it. I soon came to realize that doing the park- going off jumps, trying boxing and rails, wasnt all that hard and you dont have to be a professional to do it.Now looking back I dont know why I wanted to be like the crazies going off huge jumps and doing tricks...well actually....I am still a little jealous of them.

You are probably wondering- ok what are you rambling on about. I love skiing and snowboarding, actually teach lessons at Brianhead and would recommend it to anyone cuz its a blast! But do NOT wish for things you dont really want.

On Thursday I was snowboarding and I actually did my first board grab (which is like the first thing I've learned how to do and land besides just going off the jump). I continued through the park and went off the next jump. I freaked myself out (dumbest thing you can do) cuz i got more air than ever and cRaShEd down landing terribly. A boy snowboarded over and asked if I was okay. I said no and was just screaming and trying to remember how to breath. The ski patrol got there amazingly fast, took my snowboard off and helped me into the tabogin. I got wheelchaired over tot he clinic and got checked out.Luckily I didnt break anything but I did get a cut on my hip and pulled pretty much every muscle in my backside on the right (very painful!!) I have to use crutches for a week or so. And since i work as a ski and snowboard instructor Im currently jobless. How wonderful.But on the brighter note: i have the BEST roommates in the world that are always helping me. Even with personal business that you never think about when you are not injured. So thanks guys! Alicia is once again a life saver. Another good thing- i have watched a LOT of movies. All in all I am blessed that its not worse and I am recovering.

DEX marketing club

We went down to Dixie and were in a statewide competition for business marketing.
Rhett and I took 2nd place!

Our awesome professor RobertsWe had one hour to evaluate and come up with an international business marketing plan and present a 15 min presentation for three judges. It was fun and I learned a lot. We get to go to nationals in California since we were one of the top competitors!
