update..

So it's been a crazy few weeks! I got offered a great job in NYC, accepted the job, found an apartment, went home for a week, packed, came back to the big apple and just completed my first day of work! I'm so excited about this job- I get to help people to be healthy and make lifestyle changes- which is exactly what I wanted to do with my college degree. It's amazing that I had no idea what I'd be doing with my life just a few weeks ago and now I have a nice cubical and boss and everything. :) I know that Heavenly Father loves us, is so aware of us and guides us daily! It was so fun to be home. I think I appreciate everything just a little more since living in New York. I enjoyed every moment while home of being with my grandparents, eating moose bars, sitting on the front porch with my mom, seeing dad's excitement for photography, discussing Harry Potter, playing with my neices, learning ways to invest my money from my bro, sleeping in the backyard to watch the meteor shower, watching the same movie three times, seeing my mom's excitement when I let her help me organize my stuff, being with Boomer for her final wedding dress fitting, eating at Mongolian Grill with the Idaho boys, the blue sky, the green grass, driving with Jess, taking a photoshoot of Jess (hehe).... I miss you all! Live and enjoy each moment!
P.S. pictures to come some.. I just can't find my cord in all this unpacking craziness.

I can't believe how fast this summer has flown by! I've had so much fun , but I miss all of you so much...see you soon!

Our chinese bus ride to Washington D.C. to visit Becca's relatives... definitely an adventure!

Becca and I bought $7 huge sunglasses and wore them for every picture after that- haha! Don't we look like movie stars? ;)

on the subway..

finally.. a whole car to ourselves!! :)

Birthday Week!

Hi, I'm back! It was an exciting week with my birthday and Becca's and then my roommate Becca Christensen came to visit for a week. So much fun!!

I'm glad I didn't have anything planned for today because I spent ALL day reading Harry Potter Book 7! I just finished!! I don't want to give anything away but I can't wait for everyone to read it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!

Today is my Mom's birthday! She was born two minutes early which I think set the stage for her always being on time and organized! :) There are so many things about my Mom that I love- from her great puns to her car exercises to her constant love and encouragement- I couldn't ask for a better best friend and mother! She is constantly serving and taking care of others! She is an amazing example to me and all those around! I hope you have a happy birthday Mom and a wonderful year! I love you googles!!!!

hair drama

It's really hot here and I really like the makeovers they do on the show "What not to wear" so... I chopped my hair- just like that! I haven't cried over my hair for probably twelve years, but when I got home today and looked in the mirror I burst into tears. hehe. It was probably a combination of the hair dresser refusing to cut my bangs how I wanted them and telling me I needed highlights... then when I went to pay for the $20 cut, she said "that'll be $41.25!" I pointed at the window and showed them the $20 sign, but she said that's only if they don't blow dry it, but of course they didn't mention that to me before I got my hair cut. Anyway, I like the cut after playing with it a little. Thanks for letting me vent. :)

HARRY POTTER!!

Bec and I went to the midnight showing of the new Harry Potter movie last night. It was amazing!!! By far my favorite HP movie- I loved it!

Jackie and I enjoying the HP section at FAO Schwarz

P.S. I have a big crush on Harry!
