Ok, so I know this may be a little cheesy and I know most of you already know this, but just so you all know, I am in love with Bradley James Wheelwright. There are many things that I love about him.

-He cares about my feelings
-He loves me and my family
-He is easy to talk to

-He takes care of me when I'm sick
-He is honest
-He likes outdoor activities
-He is strong in the gospel
-He knows what he wants
-Everybody loves him
-He has a strong testimony
-He always has a positive attitude
-He is loving and caring

There are many more, but I don't want to bore you all. Thanks Brad for all you do for me and for putting up with me. You are the best and I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend!

My Car!

I finally got my own car! Yipee. I am so excited to not have to share with Jake anymore. It will be very nice. I am loving it so far, the only thing that is not good is it doesn't have a tape player in it so I have no way of playing my ipod yet. I'll figure something out, but for now.. thats the only thing I don't like. I bought it from a cute couple in bountiful and only had to make an extra trip down there to get it. We were already in Salt Lake when we went and looked at it the first time and took a test drive. It is a Mitsubishi Gallant '05. Well, I will do a better post later but I know that some of you wanted to see my car, so I decided to hurry and do this one.

Catch Up!

I'm home and I've been as busy as ever. I have a ton of pictures, but don't worry, I've been busy making collages, so it doesn't seem like quite so much. The last couple of days on Fisher's Island, we had as much fun as possible, we went to the beach, went crabbing, went to pizza/bingo night at the club, and said goodbye to our friends/family. It was very sad to leave that most wonderful Island, and all of my friends, but I hope I can go back someday!

We spent a week at the Keenan's house in Delaware. The girls had art camp that they went to every morning. We went to a couple of cool places, my favorite being the coolest garden place thing that was huge. The lily pads were sweet! We went to their grandparents house to swim and eat a couple times and we went to the mall to get Lucy's ears pierced and to go to cheesecake factory. I also bought my lap top there and was pretty excited for that! My other computer completely died, so I'm still waiting to find out if I can get all of my pictures, music and everything off of it. Hopefully!!

It was a little wierd to be home, and I was not used to a lot of things. It took me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things. My friends made me a cute sign the day I got home, and so did my mom.. but I can't find the picture we took. The best part was being able to see Brad a week earlier than was planned since he came home for a week for a family vacation. We only got to see each other for Saturday night and Sunday morning before he went back to Texas, but it was so much fun! It was a little weird seeing him after almost 4 months of just talking on the phone. We didn't do much, i just loved being with him finally. And, of course I loved seeing everyone else, one of those many people being Lydia- who changed so much! She is such a cute baby. And the car shopping has started for me. Too bad that cute black car just won't do it.

Brad and I got to spend the weekend he got home (the second time) at his family's cabin. It ended up just being his parents and us, but we had a lot of fun! We got there on Friday night, made and ate dinner and played a fun card game. In the morning we had breakfast, me and Brad went three-wheeling, hung out and went to a lunch with everyone else that has cabins up there. We caught 4 mice while there, which was pretty exciting! It was a fun little weekend. On Sunday, I helped Brad move back to Logan. We went to church and then to Grandma's for dinner, then we started school on Monday. Brad bought me a new back pack for my birthday that I love.


This past weekend was a very busy, but very fun weekend. It started off by going camping with all the Skeens, Searles, and Gma. We were in the most amazing place, which we are keeping a secret! ;) We set up our 'four room family vacation home', made our dinner, and played glow-in-the-dark ultimate frisbee on Friday. I was devastated that Lydia wanted my mom and not me. On Saturday, we had a handcart race and the boys played football. We went on a fun hike with everyone and on the way back, we saw a rattle snake. We were sitting in the back of the truck going back to our campsite and Brad heard it off the side of the road. We backed up and were looking at it and then the camp host came down to kill it. He chopped his head off and buried it, then chopped off the rattle to give to Caleb and Jaken. They ended up taking the body in a bag too. It was pretty gross, but a story to tell. I think the part that freaked me out the most was the fact that even after you chop the head off, it can still bite you up to 24 hours, just the head. And the body was still moving even without the rattle or the head. FREAKY!!


On Saturday when we got back, we went to the Aquatic Center to swim, for the first time this summer. And since today was the last day, it was sadly also my last. Me and Brad had fun going down the slide and doing tricks off of the diving board.

Today, for Labor day, we had a delicious breakfast, then went for a bike ride on the river trail. Our friends, Derrick and Kelsey came with us. Then, we went out to the Skeens for lunch and a few games. We went to Zepes on our way home for the best treat ever. Then we headed over to Al's for their big sale and bought a few things. We had dinner, even though we felt like we had been eating all day.
