SnugGie!

Ok this is seriously the best invention ever! Who would have thought, a blanket with arms! I’ve always wanted one and finally got one from my brother this Christmas. And let me tell you, the best Christmas present, I love it.

I am using it at this moment as I work on lovely homework! If you don’t have a Snuggie you are missing out :)

PraCticalLy SisTers

So this is Makenzie. She is a sister to me…honestly!

We argue like sisters, treat each other like sisters, and have a blast together like sisters!

We have been best friends for at least 10 years. We did dance together for 8, cheer for 3, track for 2, and soccer for 1.

Kenz is the type of person that whether you are happy or mad she is going to cheer you up whether you like it or not!

354

Every time we get together, no matter when or where, we have some type of crazy story to tell later.

I’m going to Utah State in the fall and Kenz is kind of leaning towards it and I’m hoping so much that she will go there! It’d make college so fun and memorable with my best friend there! (We may get into a little trouble…but oh my it’d be fun!)

As you can see from the picture above, she isn’t afraid to be a little crazy!

So as the pictures show…we are practically sisters!

What a fRienD!

Today I decided to do a post on one of my good friends.

This is Kelsey. We have been friends all through middle school and high school. She is one crazy girl and a lot of fun to hang out with.

Last October we got to go to Nationals for FFA in Chicago. It was so much fun. Imagine you and one of your best friends in Chicago…yes a blast!

We went to an Amish farm on the way to Indianapolis and we got a little bored. It was cool to see how the Amish live but not necessarily for 4 hours! So we found ways to entertain ourselves…pictures!

We also got to go to the Indiana Speedway. It was a really neat place!

And then hotel moments…you all know what I mean! ha!

Kelsey is such a sweet girl and a great friend! Thanks Kels !

Graduation Gift!

It’s not graduation yet but I got my present already. A new laptop and printer! My sweet mom decided to have some sympathy towards me and my 4 online credits this semester and got me my graduation gift early! I am trying to graduate with my Associates degree so I am pushing myself (more like stupid) and taking 12 credits online along with my high school classes. I know this is going to be a ton of work, but hopefully with this new laptop it will be a little easier. Thanks Mom!This is so snazzy! It even has a fun camera on it. I’m loving it!

This is the printer and will be perfect for college. Printer, Copier, Scanner plus wireless…...could it get any better? Anyways just thought I’d share the exciting news!

Monthly Countdown :)

01-I made it! I never thought a month would come! I can finally see a little progress! It was kinda tough transitioning into this new routine but honestly easier than I imagined. Some days are harder than others but each day gets me one day closer to my best friend :)

02-A way harder month than month 1!! I feel like this month dragged on it hit me hard that I won't see him for 2 years :( Still lots of letters and a PACKAGE! ! But I must say it was a way harder month emotionally for me! BUT I got to talk to him from the airport!! Luckily time doesn't stop :)
03-My oh my, this is soo great! So the first half of this month flew and the second half dragged :) I am happy because at least some of it flew by! I am so proud of him and miss him everyday but at least time is picking up!!

04-Another month down! Hardest and longest month yet but we are both doing great and my man keeps working hard :) 1/6 done!!!

05-Month 5 was the fastest month yet! Although the holidays are really hard, time is really starting to move and Jake is really growing so much! I'm so proud of him!
06-I'm not going to sugar coat it, this past month was way hard without him for the holidays...but we got to skype!! I love that boy :)
07-Such a fast month...quickest month yet although I don't think it will ever get easy. I also got my favorite letter this month! I'm a lucky girl!
08-Seriously has it really been another month! I can honestly say this month flew by. I am finding it hard to believe he is 1/3 done! We are both so happy and I love him more than ever!
09-I got my Valentines day package this month haha :) Not necessarily the fastest month but I grew to love Jake so much more!
10-Oh boy finally another month down! I never knew a relationship could become so strong through e-mails and letters but this month has really proved it! Jacob is one in a million :)
11-Not a day goes by that I don't think of Jake! He is such an awesome missionary and continues to make me feel loved. Only 1 month til the year mark!!
12-A year down!! Finally we can start running down hill! This month went faster thankfully....I'm ready to have my Jake back :) He is still in Cluj and doing awesome! It's so great to see how far we have come!
13-Really another month down! The downhill really does go faster...I don't know where this past month has gone. Jake spent a little time in the hospital but is doing better now. Even from another country, he makes me my happiest!
14-Yay another month down! It has been a little harder with school starting back up. I miss Jake everyday but wouldn't change this experience for the world!

15-Grateful for the way time is moving! This past month flew by and I am so excited to say single digits (9 months) to go!! Jake is more wonderful than ever and I'm a lucky girl :)

16-I can't believe it's already been another month down! They say the second half goes faster and it is flying by...with Jake getting busier and busier and me starting to teach time really has started ticking!
17-Ready for him to be home...Jake is doing great, I am doing great, and time is still flying! The holidays are always harder but hey...this is the last Christmas season without him!
18-Let these last few months fly by! I got to Skype him this month which was perfect...I love that guy! We are both keeping super busy and making the most out of this time left...can't believe we are 3/4 done!
19-Five months to go...a hard month but we have made it! I have missed my best friend a ton this month! It feels so close yet so far...I can't wait for Summer ;)
20-Ready for Summer! Both of us have stayed super busy this month and time has flown by! I am crazy about that guy...
21-Insane.....Jake came home this month for health reasons! He surprised me and things have picked up right where they left off. He is getting better and trying to get his health taken care of while I finish Student Teaching! Life is GREAT!
