P.s.

P.s. still don't know where i'm going to be this summer....ahhhhhh!!!

Beary Interesting...

The other day I was thinking about my four years at college and how a lot of the things I've learned I've already lost. Learning is an ongoing process. There is so much to know!!! I hate when I'm in a conversation and something gets brought up and I'm like, "what????!!!!". I decided that I wanted to learn something new everyday ...EXCEPT this time something I pick. So everyday I'm going to do my own research on whatever I feel like (ie. the rules of golf, the ambassador of a country, the definition of a word etc.) the sky's the limit.

For whatever reason (I'm not sure) I chose to learn about what to do when you encounter a bear. It's really not as bad as I thought. Knowing me I will not ever get myself In this kind of situation but you just never know...right??!! Who says..."I think I'm going to run into a bear today?" If you ever do encounter a bear...apparently you never want to run even if you've heard it's okay if you're going down hill....they will beat you with their 30mph haul...no running people!! Obviously stay calm and speak softly but speak so they can identify you as human (this is if you are close, if not back up and get out of there asap). If this doesn't work you might have to climb a tree...make sure you can get up about 33 feet as black bears climb, grizzlies not as well but they can get up a tree. If for whatever reason you can't get in a tree...I don't know what to tell you...maybe wear better shoes?? Okay!!! so if you are being attacked you are going to want to fight back, sometimes this will scare them off. Playing dead is your last resort...(daytime) you want to lay in the fetus positon with your hands around your knees tightly or lay on your stomach with your hands on your neck...keep your backpacks on for protection. Pepper spray can work but you have to be within 15 ft. Interesting right?!!

I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did...courtesy of: ME and /http://www.mountainnature.com/Wildlife/Bears/BearEncounters.htm

How do you like my figure?

my mom just celebrated her 50th birthday! this is a picture of her when she was little. nonna (my grandma) told us that sherron used to recite this poem..."here i stand upon the stage, how do you like my figure? boys dont like me now but wait til' i get bigger" (hip action and all). it's true...you look great, happy 50th birthday!!!

ler-bear (my dad) gave a pretty sweet surprise party. family and friends flew in from all over. i'm not sure if dallen will ever fly with me again...i liked it. i'm pretty much a professional when it comes to sleeping on an airplane so dallen of course was asking about my technique and i'm not sure it really worked out for him...possibly his head is to big. am i the only one who uses the tray-table method????

dallen and i ended up on the same plane as the grandparents. my dad, elly, janie and dave were there for pick up. dallen made sure to point himself out in this photo loading up the rental...what a helper!

there were about 50 of us hidden at the junior league (where my parents had their reception). i guess she thought she was going to a dinner with some of my dad's clients... surprise!!!




my cute brothers...i've been given an assignment to find a girl whose "smokin' hot", spiritual but not self-righteous, personality is a must and of course she's gotta be up for a chase. his birthday was a couple weeks ago but i haven't given up...any thoughts or ideas???? he's the big one.

we couldn't visit texas and not go to pappasito's so the girls and jace went out while the men were at priesthood session.

watch out erin hawley... london looks like antm!!!

Spring has Sprung.

They don't call it March madness for nothing...this month has flown and I can't believe April is here. So, I thought I better spruce up my page and fill you in on my month of March. Of couse school is keeping me busy and I've been working on setting up my summer internship. Every junior in the interior design program is required to do one...I'm hoping to have my summer plans figured out in the next couple of weeks. This process has taken longer than I had realized it would but I do have three different companies I'm talking to at the moment so I could be in LA, San Fran, or Dallas this summer. It's an exciting time but also a little stressful as I'm trying to figure out where I should be.

I've been on a couple of blind dates this month. I think I've decided I'm not a huge fan. Not because of who I've been set up with but when I go out with someone it's comforting to know that there is something about you that interests them. So I was on a blind date this past weekend and was totally weird on the date...nervous so I kept interrupting, I called a skateboard a rollerboard (whatever that is). I said random things...lol...no I'm pretty random all the time but you can probably get the picture. It makes me laugh because honestly...does it really matter?!! Enough of my dating woes :)

Say Cheese.

Mitchell came to visit from Cali.

The following weekend my cousin Ashley got married.
Looking good guys!!!

Elly and I at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
