Thanksgiving....

Oh how much I love the holidays! It is possibly my favorite time of the year. I mean, really, who doesn't love the holidays. There is good food, family, friends, traditions, and an atmosphere of joy and love. This year, I thought a lot about the many things that I am grateful for. Let's just say that there isn't nearly enough room on this blog to list them all. For now, I will express how grateful I am for my family. I truly have been blessed with two wonderful parents and three siblings who I absolutely could not live without. I love my family so much and am so grateful for all that they do for me.

This year my Thanksgiving was different because Courtney and I were unable to go home to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with our family. Instead, we had Thanksgiving together. Just the two of us. We were both sad that we could not be with our family but we made sure to make this Thanksgiving a memorable one. I have to say, that I greatly enjoyed spending the whole day with Courtney. Since we are both in school and working, we are very busy and usually only get to see each other for a couple of hours every week when we do laundry or go grocery shopping. It was so fun to be able to hang out with her for the whole day. Even though we could not be with our family, I am so grateful that we could spend Thanksgiving together with each other.

Here is our Thanksgiving adventure.

True Love...

Last weekend was a special weekend for my sister Courtney and I. Our parents, our little brother Tyler, and our little sister Sarah drove up to Provo to spend the weekend with us. However, this weekend was special not only because our family was in town, but because it was the weekend of Courtney's Junior recital. (For all those who don't know, Courtney plays the Viola and is a performance major at Brigham Young University.) The weekend was full of play, laughter, and love. I have to say though, that my favorite part of the weekend was doing a photo shoot with my parents. Here is a sneak peek:

VMAs.......

Hello fellow bloggers! Yes, I know it has been a few weeks since the last time I wrote, but here is my excuse; school has been insanely busy. I have barely had time to breath, eat, or sleep. (Just kidding Mom) No worries though, Thanksgiving break is only one short week away and then I will finally be free. I am so excited:) Alright, let's face the facts, we all know that despite how busy school and work can get, I do always find time to play and have fun. This weekend was especially fun.

My boyfriend Albert works as a resident assistant in the freshman dorms here at BYU. Part of being an R.A. is planning 4 activities for the boys in his hall. One of their activities took place last night and it was the "Video Music Awards". All the boys found dates, were put into groups, and made music videos together with their groups. I had the privilege to be Albert's date and the night began with a walk down the red carpet, which included paparazzi. It was a fun-filled night full of dinner, home-made music videos, and a sweet after party which included a dance. Altogether it was a fun nigh,t despite the fact that I got to hang out with freshman. Just kidding! Thanks Albert for asking me to be your date, I had a fun night with you at the VMAs:) Here are our red carpet pictures:

We had to do a gansta picture for Albert. (He thinks he's black)

No worries, we did a cute one too:)
