The SWEET TOOTH Fairy

Brad and I went to this little bakery called The Sweet Tooth Fairy down in Provo on University Ave. right by Hogi Yogi. It was like heaven! I think that EVERYONE should try this place. We got a cookie called black and white, a warm chocolate chip cookie, and a peanut butter cup cake with reese's peanut butter cups on top. We did have time to take pictures of the cookies because we ate them too fast. But, we did get one of the cupcake. And this doesn't do justice to how yummy it looks! They just stared a while ago so I'm trying to get spread to word. GO THERE!!!

This time last year

I was in the first ward and on the activities committee. I was a shy girl and didn't know or have a lot of friends in my ward. I usually sat by myself and didn't talk to very many people. It was sad, really. Then, at the ice cream social, that all changed.

Since I was like this, I spent most of my time in the kitchen with a few other girls. I met two of my best friends that night. One of the girls, Natalie, was telling some of us about something that had just recently happened to her and how she was going through a hard time. I joined in on the conversation and her and I were instantly friends. Why had I not been friends with her before?

I know that there is a reason we were both there that night and that we both needed each other in our lives. And, we still do. We are still there for each other whenever one of us needs something. No matter what. I am so grateful for wonderful friends.

This is also the night a very important person came into my life, Brad. You know, that crazy boy I'm dating:) Anyway, he was dating a girl at the time so I even though I was interested, I couldn't do anything about it.

He dated his girlfriend for a little bit longer, and then they broke up. Brad and I started dating a while later. I am so blessed to have him in my life. Knowing these people have truly made me who I am today and I am so lucky to know them. They have helped me so much in my life.

WOW!!!

So, I was at Brad's house on Sunday and his little nieces were playing dress up. One of them came in the room with a Hannah Montana wig on and left it in the room. I grabbed it off the floor and put it on Brad's head! It was hilarious!!! We were all laughing SO hard. Maybe I should be a little worried out this... :)

Early Valentines

Since Valentines day is on a Saturday and it will be SUPER busy, Brad and I decided to do it on Tuesday. We went out to The Olive Garden and it was so so yummy! Then, we watched American Idol and The Office. It was just a laid back Valentines, but I am so glad! It was a great night. Brad got me some chocolates and the Garth Brooks Ultimate Hits 3 disc cd. I love it! Enjoy some pictures!!!

Bringing in 2009

This past week was so much fun! Having Brad have a break from school has been so nice. We've had lots of fun and i'm sad for him to go back to school. Last Tuesday, I went bowling with my Family! It was so much fun! I didn't do too well, but it was still fun being with them. Then, on Wednesday, New Years Eve, Brad and I ate dinner with my family and played games, and then went to his house to have a party with our friends. We had food, and played games and brang in the new year at midnight. It was so much fun! Then, on new years day, Brad and I went to Eagle Mountain to go sledding with Brad's family by their house. It was such a blast! We did that for a couple of hours and then went back to thier house for some good grub and played games. Then Brad and I went to my house to watch a movie and hang out with my family! Here are a few fun pictures!Brad's Dad. He's like a little kid!
