Girls Night Out!

So, for the past several weeks, Thursday night has been my Girls Night Out with my best friend Taylor. :) We both work together on Fridays, so we decided to get together every Thursday night at either her house or mine, and have the night to relax and talk and just have fun being girls. :) This is what we did last night:

First we started out with a to die for foot scrub--the only word that can describe the way our feet felt afterwards: AMAZING. :) The scrubbing stuff looked really gross, though. Then--after our foot scrub--we did facials (a self-heating clay mask thingy that felt great and was way fun to do together!) to finish it off. I'm so glad to be a girl, and have Taylor for a friend! :)
YAY for friends and fun! :)

Only in Texas...

Okay, so today's my day off, so I thought I would post a blog. :) Yesterday it was 100 degrees outside, and today it's 72 outside, and it's been raining off and on. Sometimes I am amazed at the crazy weather here in Texas! Hot and humid one day, then rainy and cool the next...good grief! Too bad we didn't have this weather yesterday when I was out lifeguarding! Oh well...

Also, today I got a haircut! It's been really long for a while now, so today I got up and Momma took me to get it cut!!! Yay! It's shoulder-length now, and it feels GREAT! :) Thanks Momma for taking me to get my summer cut today! :)

Oh, and I keep forgetting to post some pictures of my bedroom. I moved it all around! I took down the canopy, and moved my bed against the other wall with a window, and shifted my little dresser to where my bed was. There is so much room! I also got a new picture to put up on my wall for $3 at Garden Ridge! It's so pretty, I'll have to post pics of my "new" room's look soon! :)

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to post saying HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! to a wonderful Daddy. :) For the past (almost) nineteen years of my life my daddy has held my hand when I've been scared, given me Father's blessings when I've been sick, and made me pancakes on Sundays (until I was big enough to do it myself...and even then sometimes he still makes me pancakes!). :) He is such a loving and wonderful daddy, and I'm so glad the Lord sent me to him and Momma! He is a one-of-a-kind Daddy, and I'm so glad he's mine. :)

Late Night Surprise!

So, last night around 11:00 pm, Taylor Bluth and I snuck over to Leah's house for a little bit of fun. :) Since Leah is leaving for school up in Utah tomorrow (Saturday), we wanted her to leave with something to remember us by. So we had decided to sidewalk chalk her front sidewalk and decorate her door (Taylor also t.p.'d her tree a little bit).

Well, Taylor and I were all prepared to be sneaky undercover agents...we drove up without the lights on, and VERY carefully parked farther down the street, so if anyone happened to be up, they wouldn't recognize the car. As Taylor started the t.p.ing process, I began furiously decorating the sidewalk as fast as I could, while still trying to make it look cute. :) All of a sudden, Taylor and I see President Blake coming! He turned on the front porch light, and Taylor and I just about DIED!!! We ran pell-mell for the side of the house to hide behind the bushes. And let me tell you--there were some VERY prickly leaves in that grass that absolutely stuck into our feet like burrs! :(

So there we are, crouching down behind the bushes, trying not to be seen, and trying not to breathe too loud if someone were to come out to check out what all the movement outside was about. We probably we making tons of noise anyways, but it was so much fun. :) After what seems like forever, Taylor decides to go check out if the coast is clear so we can finish the job...and gets caught!!! Hansen had seen us running away when President Blake turned on the light--if we hadn't run, they wouldn't have even seen us!!! Lol, oh well. We came out, and laughed it off (but practically the entire family came outside to see what was going on). :) So much for being sneaky!

We made Leah promise not to look at anything until the next morning, but went ahead and gave her the brownies we had baked for her (which were still warm). She was really happy though, and I was so glad that she liked our surprise (even though she found out about it earlier than usual...). :) After everyone went back inside, Taylor and I made the sidewalk look really cute, and put up a sign on the door ("We Love Leah!) for her to see the next morning. What a night!!! :)

A-Z All About Me!

Attached or Single? Most definitely single...

Best friends? Leah and Taylor are my BFF's and always will be! :)

Cake or pie? Well...both sound pretty darn good right now. BUT--if I had to absolutely pick my top choice of each, I would say Momma's strawberry cake is TO DIE FOR :) delicious, and Daddy's apple pie is pretty good too.

Day of Choice? Sunday...it's so nice to relax and enjoy the spirit. I love the peaceful days full of love that Sundays bring. :)

Essential Item? I would have to agree with Kristie...my scriptures!!!

Favorite color? Pink!!!! :) I love being a girl... :)

Gummy bears or worms? I love both, but would probably choose the gummy worms, because they are just a little bit softer. :) Plus, I always like singing the song "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat some worms..." :)

Home town? Carrollton! (Good ol' C-Town, as friends from high school use to call it)

Ideal vacation? Any place warm and by water. I couldn't be able to live for long without a place to swim, and I can only take so much cold! :)

January or July? July, of course!!! I love the summertime--that means swimming!!! :) My favorite thing besides reading as a hobby...

Kids? Nope.

Life isn't complete without... family. Friends are wonderful too, but there's nothing so wonderful as family.

Marriage date? Who knows? Not anytime really soon, though...

Number of brothers and sisters... 3 brothers and 1 sister.

Oranges or apples? Apples...but it's definitely a toss up. I'd probably grab an apple given the choice, but I really do like oranges every once in a while.

Phobias-- I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES!!! I just have to get that one out in the open. I don't really like spiders either, but I cannot stand snakes...even if they're dead. :( Those things give me the willies!

Quote: I couldn't find just one quote to put on here, so I decided to put my top three here:

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."

"I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday."

Reasons to smile: I'm alive and healthy with a wonderful family, true friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. What reason isn't there to smile?

Season of choice? Summertime!!! :) Although if I lived in a place where fall produced gorgeous leaf colors, and divinely wonderful temperatures, that would probably come close to tying for first...

Tag people: I'll tag...Amanda!

Unknown fact about me: I went on a date in a teeny-tiny, puddle-jumper style airplane. It was really fun (but my Mom would have died if she knew what I was doing at the time...) and we actually did tricks where you can experience zero gravity...FUN! But, realistically, something that I'll probably never do again.

Vegetable? I love brocolli ("trees")! I also like corn, though. :)

Worst habit? I'll just leave this one to the imagination...

X-ray or ultrasound? Neither, please! :)

Your favorite food: PANCAKES, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

Zodiac sign: Well, this isn't the sweetest one to end on...my sign is Cancer...oh well! Signs are signs! You don't get to choose them... :)
