What was I doing 10 yrs ago...
Ummm...oh man I was in 8th grade. I dont remember much other than that. I was best friends with Missy. I was a behive in Young Womens. I was very involved in our Mexican dance group. sorry I dont have much more than that. didnt really care much for those years. ha ha ha!

5 yrs ago....
I was graduating from High School...Finally!!! Graduating from Seminary. I was dating Richard. I was getting ready for my first semester at Santa Rosa Junior College. Trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I was an assistant manager at Toe-Fu Toe Rings.

1 yr ago....
I was living in the big city of Kaohsiung Taiwan as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. I had just Killed(was the last companion to) Sister Emily Lowe after three transfers. I was officially becoming Senior Companion and my new Comp was Sister Marissa Manning...woot woot!!! It was dead middle of summer and it was hot and humid. we kicked some serious trash with our numbers that transfer and impressed all the missionaries..including our Zone Leaders! it was one of the best transfers and we had some of the greatest investigators. we had 10 investigators coming to church every week, which couldnt have made us more happy! it was probably one of the happiest times in my mission.

The Lehi Rodeo! YEEE HAAAA

Last night My friends and I went to the Lehi Rodeo. It was a lot of fun. one of the highlights was the freestyle Motorcycles they brought out halfway through. the rodeo ended at 11:00pm. then we went over to a dance they were holding at the church across the street. they were playing pretty lame music like the chicken dance so we left early. but it was a fun night overall. let me just say that there is something very attractive about a man in a cow boy hat on a horse. Ride um Cowboy!!! and like the song says, "save a horse...ride a cowboy!" lets just all remember that.

Mission Friends and Weddings

One of the most fun things about this summer has been spending time with mission friends. here are some pictures from hanging out and a wedding of Gloria Gong who was in my MTC district. she knew they guy before the mission and things worked out afterwards and now they are hitched. she looked beautiful and it was good to see them because we were all in different missions. so it has been almost two years since we have seen each other.

Marin is trying to feed me dessert, even though I was so full and didnt want anymore.

Eryn Johnson and I. she made a beautiful bridesmaid.


All the girls together again!!!

Hot Pot!!!!

Now you wont really understand how excited I was about this night unless you have been to Taiwan. I went to eat Hot pot with a bunch of mission friends. I cant believe we found a hot pot place. we ate Hot Pot all the time in Taiwan. the way it works is you just have a pot of boiling broth and you pick meats and veggies and you cook them in the pot. then you eat it with this awesome sauce and white rice. YUM!!!! it was a fun night. made us feel like we were home again!

The Joy of Little Children!!!

It has been such a great experiance living with Becky, Chris, and their kids for the summer. Also getting to be around Kelly, Shane, and their girls. I love those kids so much. I love watching them laugh and have a good time. it is going to be hard to leave and go back to school. Im going to miss them a lot. here are some pictures of the kids playing with Chris one Sat. We love having Chris home...there is never a dull moment!


I love this picture!


Payton looks so funny in this picture! love her face and hair!!!

All three of the kids laid down and were looking up at the ceiling. It was pretty cute.

Fun at Sams Club

Well here are some pictures of a trip I made to Sams club with some of my mission comapnions. let me tell you...it was pretty dang exciting. I did find some awesome shorts and trail mix though so it made the trip for me worth it.


Anyone who knows me or has gone shopping with me, knows that I hate dressing rooms. so here I am trying on the awesome shorts I bought. I dont even think Sams Club has dressing rooms so this was the only choice I had. you know you love the new style of Capris under shorts. HOT!!!!

Marissa and I.

we sat down for a bit to eat. good ol' fashion hot dog! yum!

This was the whole crew after we finished eating. Thanks to the random guy who took the picture. he probably thought we were so lame for taking a picture in Sams Club of all places. ha ha ha! Good times!
