sweet summertime!

So i've probably become the worst blogger on the planet, so much to catch up on...

1. The semester ended! Yeah! I made it! (It's been about three weeks and it feels like three months since i've been in school! haha) Not only did the semester end, but it ended with my highest GPA ever at BYU, i was very proud of myself!

2. I'm at home again and having fun playing with my family.

3. Blake was baptized! If you know me at all you know i ADORE my little brother. Because he is 12 years younger than me i'm more of a second mom than a sister. So to watch the little man grow up and turn 8 and be baptized and become an official member of the church was such an emotional thing for my family and i. It was such a beautiful day and the spirit was so strong. It was wonderful to be surrounded by family and friends who all loved Blake and were there to support him. It was a wonderful day for my family to just be together.

4. I made a list of summer goals for myself. I've officially completed one - learn how to make banana bread- and am half way done with another one of my goals (complete two quilts) well technically i've finished the tops if two of them and now just need to quilt them and bind them. Here is one of them:



5. I started my job part time nannying for two spirited, crazy, yet adorable little girls. They're a little crazy but i'm starting to love them. I've been blessed with a lot of work, which means making money, since i've been home and i am very greatful for that.

6. Today i found out that i received a scholarship that i had applied for, so for the first time i finally get some money towards my college education, very nice!

7. I've had so much fun playing with my best friends. Alex and i are together for the whole summer and i couldn't be more thrilled! We just shop and talk and play and have so much fun! i've missed having her in my life everyday.
Also John Dana just got home! i forgot how much i've missed his cute face and playing with him! I was able to help his mom make a scavenger hunt for him to find the new car his mom got him. It was so much fun to run around danville with him and his momma.

All in all life has been pretty good. its had its ups and downs lately and its really confusing moments, but hey, that's life right?
