My parents and Dana came up to visit on Thursday.

It was fun having them here for a few days.

It was a pretty relaxing weekend.

Just so nice to spend time with each other.

We did get the new iPhone 4S.

Our first smart phone.

It is so AMAZING!!

We all love our new phones.

Some pictures from the weekend:

Jemi came and surprised me at work!

It had been 2 months since we saw each other.

Happy Sunday.

Blake made us chocolate chip cookies.

Great weekend!!

I can't wait to go home in 23 days!!

I AM IN!!!!

It was almost around this same time last year that

I announced I was accepted to Utah Valley University.

Well, this time I am announcing that.... (drum roll please).....

I WAS ACCEPTED TO THE ELEMENTARY EDUCATION PROGRAM!!

I am so excited.

(Can't you tell?)

I start the program in January...and the next two years of my life

will be dedicated to that program so that I can be a wonderful teacher.

SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED AND HAPPY!!

I think this calls for a CELEBRATION!!

I Need You...

Lately, when doing homework--it gets harder for me to see.

My eyes start to burn and hurt.

I finally went to an eye doctor.

(A GREAT ONE!! If you are looking for one in Provo, let me know.)

He did some eye tests and decided I needed reading glasses.

That is exactly what I was thinking I needed.

So...I am patiently waiting for these beauties to arrive:

(Sorry the picture is so big. I had to copy & paste it on. And I can't change the size.

Click on glasses to view entire picture.)

I decided yesterday that it was a good idea that I had seen an eye doctor.

I play the piano at church, and while playing the hymns...

everything started to blur together.

It sure is a good thing that I was really familiar with the hymns we were singing.

Otherwise....things would have been a mess.

HURRY UP and get here glasses!! I NEED YOU!!!

11 days...

.....until Mom, Dad, and Dana

come to visit!!

(That also means...11 days until iphones!!)

I can hardly wait to see them.

Fall is here.

And it is gorgeous!!

I love going on drives.

Always have.

As a young girl I remember going on a few family drives.

Loved them.

A couple of weeks ago, I took Blake and I on a drive through the Provo Canyon.

And we stopped off at a park to take a small walk.

It was so beautiful to see all of the different fall colors.

Utah is gorgeous in the fall.

(I'll try to remember to take a fall picture)

Where Did All The Time Go?

Oh this is so true everyday...

Time just flies on by.

Pinterest.....why must you be so addicting to all of us?

Too Soon.

You see that?

SNOW IN OCTOBER!!

The mountains are covered!!

It is WAY too soon for snow.
