Back in Provo with my honey :)

August 29, 2013

I've reached a point in my educational career when professors occasionally answer my questions with "I don't really know".
Partly because I'm a science major. Partly because they really just don't know.

Ohhh gosh.

Welcome to Provo. Where my first instinct is to flirt and now I can't.. :p

Jenny

Two years ago I met a girl whose friendship changed my world.
Tonight you have the privilege to meet her. 

I met Jenny one night on Helaman Fields and instantly fell in love with her sweetness and genuine friendship. Jenny has seen me through the hardest of what college has had to offer and the best of what life has given me. And I've watched and helped her struggle through her hardships and eagerly squealed when her good times came. Even when we'd go weeks without seeing each other when we were back together it was as if no time had passed. 
I've respected her from the moment I met her.
Beyond her dazzling smile, she has a dazzling heart. She's driven and intelligent and independent. But also loving and caring and intuitive. Jenny listened to every dull and rambling story I've ever told with pleasure. She has shown me what it is to find yourself and be yourself. She's not afraid to enjoy life's little moments, push herself to the edge of the comfort zone and beyond, and do things for the sake of wanting to do them.
Jenny is one of my best friends and an absolute inspiration.

I love you Jenny!
Congratulations on being engaged. I can't wait to be your bridesmaid.

herpy burfday!

The Boyfriend gave me three things for my birthday {which by the way was a week ago - I am now a week and 20 years old}
  1. His presence. He drove into town to see me :) It was so lovely spending the weekend with him and his brother. He took me to dinner for my birthday and it was quite nice!
  2. A beautiful locket with our picture in it for me to keep close to my heart when I go on my trip at the end of the summer.
  3. A key to his car. :D Haha, this one would probably be silly to an onlooker, but it means so much to the both of us. It's the start of our process to join our lives together. What's his is mine. Ours.
And my parents got me exactly what I asked for!!! A mummy sleeping bag and an epic tent! I got my own tent! When I set it up and got in I had this huge swell of pride and almost started crying from excitement. I HAVE A TENT AND SLEEPING BAG. Even if I'm homeless I will have a home. So excited!!

I think we should be more respectful of each other.
Simple, I know.
But I really think so.
