What comes before Part B? ...PARTAAAAYY!

Fall. MOST AMAZING SEASON EVER! Bonfires, friends, sweatshirts and...pumpkins :) The roommates, Sara, and I set out on an epic battle of pumpkin vs. knives!

The adventure started off in Walmart. What a wondeful town, we have a walmart 3 minutes down the road! Back home in good ol' Fredonia our closest Walmart was a little over an hour away. So you can see our excitment in having one so close. Weird excitment? Yes, but it's amazing. So back to the story, we picked out the greatest pumpkins Walmart had to offer, grabbed some grub, checked out, hit the road and went home. We rushed to get the knives and pans and bowls and got to work!

Let me tell ya a little something about college students. We are poor, and cheap. Yes, sad fact, but sooo true. We didn't buy pumpkin carving tools so we tried to get the job done with steak knives and Mason Jar lids. Suprisingly was very successful and very fun! Jamming out, eating, and carving Pumpkins ='s one of the best Fall nights EAC has offered us this semester!

Megan, Me, Alec, and Sara! We had to document the start of a great night :)

Peace out girl scouts.

Yeaaa Buddy, Rolling Like A Big Shot!

This my friends is what we call addiction. Kind of like popcorn, sweatshirts, smelling good and, being awesome. It's just things we can't help because we love it to much. I can't help it. This blog is just sucking me in. BUT I lufff it.

Well on this frisk fall night, while protecting the civilians "or prison members" of the EAC Towers (haha get it..see what I did there), my good buddy Victoria and I were reflecting on our past weeks. I thought "Hey...my facebookers, and fellow bloggers would LOVE to know how much we didn't do"! So instead of boring you with our non-adventurous times (haha which now you will never know if i'm lying or not, cause maybe it really was), I decided..what better way to update people then with pictures!?

Evidence one that we are FRIGGEN legit, while having nothing to do..


Dos. Sometimes we do useless productive tricks!


Nuff said.


No worries. These are just a few of the magnificent times. But I might need to inform some people of the next picture. No we don't like to just hold random thongs in our hands while looking cute. That'd just be weird, and creepy. Our "sister" Julie Ann Raban decided to not come back to this wondeful land of EA and to stay at home in St. Johns so she can marry her soulmate Tret. Eff. We are sad and SUPER DUPER excited for her :) Victoria and I got the honors of spending a weekend with her before her big day in December for her bridal shower. Explaining the chonies.

Shout out to our Beautiful friend Julie Ann, it's her birthday today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE

I would blog on the wondeful shirts that me and the AMAZING Lexi made but she already has and I wouldn't wanna take away from her amazing blog. And if you don't follow her blog..well eff you life stinks cause it's so good! It's alaways nice to have more girls around haha.

On that note, in the closing of my beautiful, crazy, completely weird, messed up, and complicated life, i'd like to say a few things.

1. I love my family more then anything. Family consists of those back home blood related to me, and the family of friends I have made here. They are amazing and are one in a million.
2. I've come to the conclusion that I love the gospel. It took me a long time to find it out for myself, and it's still growing..but that's something I have to work on. And the support I have here is amazing! I had the oppurtunity to get my P Blessing at the begining of the semster. MIND BLOWING. That is all :).
3. Working out is the greatest stress and anger relief ever.
4. Guys are super lame, and I dis-like them with a HUGE passion...they mess my brain up. Haha...go figure right, like we haven't had that happen before.
5. Oh also a shout out to Victoria Skousen (She's forcing me to do this or she will spill her nasty vicks honey medicine on my beautiful laptop Sean Paul). Rude right? Haha if that were true she'd just get a punch to the face. Good thing I kid right :)! But Yes..I love her dos.
Last but not least 6. Honor bright is amazing. That is all!

Now that i've written about nothing and you've read all this jibberish I guess I'll give a shout out to the rest of my friends..I love you guys too and remember if I don't..someone might..or not. Whatever :)! PEACE LOVE AND COWBOYS........ :)
Good night from the weirdos :)

Whose up for round 2 ?!?!

I broke down. I got the all amazing thing people call "blog" although its very confusing for a small town girl with tecnology difficulties!! Haha i'll try my best, but no judgements..it's all I got!


Whelp here we are again! Yet another crazy, beautiful, boring, and stressful year at EAC. Yes..EAC, Eastern Arizona College, not East Australian Current contrary to popular belief. But before that lets back up a little to the summer.

I finished finals and rushed back to our Beautiful friend Kensi's wedding! Oh what a crazy weekend, haha getting ready, setting up churches, keeping people pleased with our smiles at the sign in door, and being there for our friend :) She looke beautiful and we are glad Mr. Limb can now be part of our crazy lives too! He fits right in...haha poor kid.


After all that crazyness it was relax at the Parentals for a weekend, pack up and move up North an hour to the wonderful land of the Zion Ponderosa Ranch..Oh the ZP. What can I post about that ...place. Haha. Shucks I don't know. Bitter sweet that is for sure! I worked as a Wrangler in the wonderful Wrangler land with the AMAZING boss Guy Ballard. Oh how I respect that man! Getting the chance to work with the wondeful Leah Greene also..Good times:) Now Leah was our accident prone..praise the lord it wasn't me for once! Haha concusion and broken teeth, and wondeful me getting the Honors of taking her to St. G to have her wisdom teeth out. All I can say is that girl is dang funny on drugs!


Even though the Wranglers ARE THE COOLEST people at the ZP there were others who almost met the bar :). Oh how I loved some of the other staff. Mostly the Rec Guides, and the lovely gift store clerk Tammi! My room consisted of 4 girls for a while, and we all grew so close! Taylor Smith, Taylor Bluth, and Tammi C! Crazy nights of Leah coming up to our room, hyperness of movies, and hurdling pipes..haha I'll never forget them! Everyone was family, the boys, the girls, even the managers of our sections! We were all so happy, even though some moments were hard, and some people were crazy, and the pay wasn't the best, we got to work out side, ride horses all day, canyonering, zipline, rock wall, atv tours...Who else gets the honor of playing for work?!

What to say?! We hated it, we loved it, but we are family and i'll always love them! We learned so much about life, and eachother, I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Back to EAC. Haha round 2?! Yes sir. Miss lots of my friends from last year but there are lots of new ones here that I love too! Already half way through can you believe it?! People engaged, people married, people dating and breaking up! What do ya do? Haha oh that's life. I miss my old house and my roommates, and my ward, but I am loving the new adventure of Howards. I can honestly say I've never missed my hometown of Fredonia more, or my family! I miss going to my Grandparents every sunday for dinner and having cousins everywhere you go. My Family is my best friends. Crazy, loud, rough housing, sarcastic, bloody noses and black eyes. But I wouldn't trade them for the world...money...or love! We are the closest family I know! I may not see them alot..or ever haha or talk to them everyday, but they are on my mind alot! I get the chance to live close to my nephew though and we sure have fun!

The Grand Parents...tender <3



Well shucks...I don't have much to say, but there will be more to come when I can settle on a subject to talk about instead of just catching up! Remember..my first blog, and my first post..no judgement :)
