Family Matters

Reasons I love my family:

1. RAWRRRR I'm Willie

My dog and the Willie Hat. Yep she's got swag.

2. Towards the end of the day we receive a text message about my 2nd cousin who is a toddler
"Danner put baby Jesus in time out"
I wonder what Jesus did this time....

3. My cousin showed up this morning in his PJ's and didn't change or leave until this evening...if he did that, I can do that

4. My mom will be put in Rehab soon....

The Gnome

The Gnome for all Seasons:Easter, Summer, Halloween, and Christmas.

If I ever have kids when we go to visit Grandma I'll have to tell them "Don't worry kids, if you be nice to the gnomes, they'll be nice to you. oh and change their clothes if Grammy Linda asks you too."
They'll be telling their teachers crazy stories about gnomeland.

My kids are in trouble already....

Hope all your families are as awesome as mine!!!!

Roses and Cherry Blossoms on their way!

Somehow my college life seems to be mimicking my high school one. My freshman year was very similar as was my sophomore making my junior year fall semester to be a not so fantastic one in college like it was in high school. If my life really does follow this pattern that means come spring break it'll be all roses and cherry blossoms as the last part of my junior year/senior year were fantastic, happy thoughts right?!? So here's to making the roses and cherry blossoms come as early as they can and the friends that show me the true meaning of life along the way and learning to dance in the rain!

These pictures minus 1 are from the last 3 weeks. Thanks to everyone though for helping me to dance in the rain!

Christmas with the most amazing big sister ever! From sonic runs, to her RIDICULOUS Christmas music, to life advice. She's the best!

Chelsea and Megan helped me to fulfill a dream I didn't know I had of making Anderson Hall, graham cracker Icing style!

Ag Ambassador's holiday social! I absolutely love this organization! My group made whoville!

I had my first alcoholic beverage at a fast food establishment (Long John Silvers--delicious!) and then we went to the women's basketball game with some great gals!


We stood in line for 4 hours, hot coco ended up all over Bailey and we slept on Bramalage floor but we are definitely going to the Cotton Bowl!!! wahooo!

So grateful they made someone else be stuck as my little! As I've gotten to know her I'm realizing how awesome Becca is!


Anna, Abbey and I :) I have loved living with Anna and having Abbey on the same floor! They are crazy and amazing and definitely make me smile lots!

Football games in the rain and shine and cold and mud with this girl have always been eventful! Grateful to have her apart of my life!


It seems the Clovia dances keep getting better as I keep getting older and this one was my favorite one yet! Good music, good food, and great friends! It was a fabulous dance. I LOVE Bailey's expression in this picture!

Top all these memories off with dodge ball with volleyballs on a racquetball court, root beer floats in the shower, and random hair color streaking. What more could I ask for in life. I'm positive the best is yet to come, till then I'll be dancing rain or shine!

Something that has really sank in these past two days:
"Be so HAPPY that when others look at you they become HAPPY too!"

New life motto, I think so.
