Updates!!!

Okay since it has been a decade since I have updated this beautiful blog I have created I figured I should. There is one main person to blame for this lack of updating and that would be my fiance, Andrew Trost, who I met roughly four months ago. February 9th, 2011 to be exact.

In February, Andrew and I met at the Idaho State University Institute. We then went on a date to the Institute Date and hit it off from there. That weekend I met his sister Kendle Hammon, brother Mitchell Trost, mother and father Brad and Bari Trost. It was a fun weekend but definitely one I was not expecting. Later on in the month, it was his twin sister's birthday and his oldest sister birthday so they were all in Rigby Idaho and we went up there to visit. The following weekend we went with his parents to Vegas to have a fun weekend with the family and their friends the Stallings.

In March, Andrew and I grew even closer then ever. He even cut his trip short in Costa Rica to come to Mesa, Az and meet my parents! And let me just tell you he went through a trip from hell. Flying to Costa Rica loosing his luggage going to the wrong location and even having to go a day or two with out his own clothes. I felt way bad for him, but the one part of the trip that we thought would go horrible was actually the best part of the trip. Because Andrew asked my father for my hand in marriage and he and the rest of the family said yes.... :))))

April, was just a process of finishing school and passing classes.

May, began with a bang, because Andrew left me for a month to go work in Reno, Nevada to sell security systems. He has been gone this entire time and I finally got to see him this past weekend when he came with me to South Dakota for my cousins wedding. Driving 3,000 miles across the country and flying and spending time with the Core family is something that little can  handle - BUT Andrew did!

I love Andrew Bradley Trost and cant wait to marry him!

2011 HERE I COME

A Choice

... has stood before me now for a year and a half. And I truly believe I finally understand why. My Heavenly Father is trying to help my life to a better path and I finally understand that to its fullest. :) I am so so ready to find an eternal companion, someone I can call my husband for time and all eternity.

The wrong 1 is the right 1 to lead you to the BEST one!

Thanks Cambria for your guidance with this :) I love you

Trial and Error

Hair do: Last Wednesday I decided to cut off around 10 inches of hair that was damaged and ready for a fresh start. I am pumped to see how the short hair life begins.

The new hairdo makes me feel older and hopefully makes me look older as well.

Snowboarding: Wednesday Night I went snowboarding for the first time ever and definitely felt like it was the best experience I possibly could have had because I loved it and I also didnt kill myself. I was suppose to get taught by someone on how to probably snowboard however I was watched once and then left stranded. So... IT WAS TRIAL AND ERROR and I taught myself and loved it. End of the season will contain a trip to the store to get a brand new SNOWBOARD!

What Christmas means to me...

FAMILY, MY SAVIOR AND MAKING MEMORIES!

Since I have been done with school (Wednesday, December 15th) I have been kind of busy. It is nice to finally relax and catch this blog of mine back up to speed.

Thursday Dec. 16th - I cleaned up my entire apartment to get everything ready for the next semester. I bleached down every wall and prepared the house for a new roommate. I have no idea of her name or her interested but I just know she is moving in Jan 1st.

Friday Dec. 17th - I spend the day packing for a trip to Boise as well as a trip back home to Arizona. When I was done packing, I went and picked up Alicia Steinfeldt from her house and headed to Brad Gravatt's apartment so we could head West for Boise. Brock, Brad, Karson, Alicia and I headed to Twin Falls for the evening with one of the guys' friends. We went bowling that evening and had a blast make memories. Alicia and her bowling skills, Brock and his dance moves, Karson and the ability to take himself out with the bowling ball, Brad was pretty normal, and their friend and his ability to fart like no other. The night ended with a trip to the only thing open in Twin Falls at midnight, BK Lounge.

Saturday Dec. 18th - We then headed out to Boise! Grab the tickets from my Uncle's house and head towards the blue turf for the Humanitarian Bowl game. When we got to the game we hooked up with Lyndel Anderson and went to grab food at Wendy's. The six of us went to the game and I believe had a great time cheering for everyone and anyone.

From there we went to dinner at Mongo Grill. That was definitely an interesting place because I definitely was weirded out by the way we had to put everything together. Raw meat with veggies and then these Mongollian guys took it and added sauce to it and cooked it. Like I said it was kind of weird. From there we went to Lyndel's friend's house and watched Despicable Me. Basically everyone fell asleep, we were definitely exhausted from this whole trip. We headed back to my Uncle's house, unfortunately they had a cat, and I forgot about, so the sleeping arrangements were kinda easy. The boys shared the bedroom, Alicia and I shared the blow up matress and Brock slept in his car. Alicia and I stayed up extremely late and talked about a lot of things that were going on in each others lives.

Sunday Dec. 19th - Drove home from Pocatello. Hung out with Alicia all day. We first went back to my place so I could pack for a bit until church was out at 2pm. At 2pm we went to church so I could go through my tithing settlement with Bishop Sutton. After that, I went with Alicia to her house for dinner and some games with her family. Like I said I spend the whole entire day with her. When we were done hanging with her family, we began getting ready for the evening. We both go dressed and ready and afterwards went over to Taylor Jenson's house to play some games with friends. It was most definitely interesting because we really did not know anyone there that well. Once we had enough of that, I took her back to her house and headed home for some good rest before the journey home to Arizona.

Monday Dec. 20th - I spent the morning finishing up packing and getting ready for a fun night with the ward and our christmas party. Alicia and I finished the afternoon off by doing some shopping at our amazing mall. When we were done there, we went back to my house and got ready for the evening. That evening was a Ward Christmas Party, with food, a slideshow and a white elephant gift exchange. It was a fun ish evening that ended not too bad for either Alicia or I. I ended up with a wall hang candy dispenser and toy story gummies and she ended up with swedish fish. She dropped me off at my house and left. I finished packing, finshed with the car and waited to see if someone actually cared. After waiting for two hours, I went on my way to start the journey home. And oh was it a long one!

Full of snow and bad roads. I got as far as Nephi, before I decided that it was not worth it to go any longer. I stayed in Nephi for a couple of hours and started back on my way.

Tuesday Dec. 21st - This entire day was spent driving South towards Mesa. At about 6pm, I finally pulled in town. I got to see my mother come out to the car to greet me and say hello! I then, went inside to see the entire family sitting at the dining room table (My Nana, Grumps, Dad, Brother, Uncle and his friend). We loaded up the car and went to Hero's Bar, where I put down my first drink since this past summer. I had a Mai Tai and definitely needed it, it put on some definite relaxation that I needed. But it did not feel right
