you know how somedays you just pick out an outfit that you loooooove and you think to yourself dang..... this is way too cute to just wear to school. i was like "stace!! girl! you gotta take a picture of my outift! i am obsessed with it" haha so of course stacey, my little sister, being my right hand gal and personal assistant was standing on my front lawn snappin pics for me. it was funny and slightly awkward as the people walking up my street to go to school were looking at us and probably thinking "what they heck" haha. believe me, i was embarassed, i am no model, but obviously i was not embarassed enough to quit and i am glad i have these pics so this outfit can be locked down in my memory.
funny story....
i know i have probably said on my blog a million times how much i love my sister stacey. seriously though this girl cracks me up. i can honestly say i don't know what i would do without her this semester. she has been my saving grace and best friend. we have always been close but this year we have taken our friendship and sisterhood to a whole new level. i mean really though...we hardly spend a minute a part. we usually have the same routine each day. i go to work then class. we usually meet up for lunch, grab a hot drink in the TSC (our student center) and then meet up again for dinner, movie night or hanging out. i look forward to spending time with her. i want her by my side even if i am just running a simple errand! its like i can't go any where without her. she is such a sweetheart and is my biggest cheerleader. she just cheers me on everyday and wants the best for me. the other day we were sitting in my room and i had just been asked out on a date (by a cute boy) and gotten a job offer in new york city. i told stacey all my good news and she just started crying. it was the cutest thing i had ever seen. i was like "stace, girl, what's wrong" and she just goes "i am so happy for you, i feel like you deserve this so much." stacey's tears of joy on my behalf touched my heart more than she will ever know. this little sweetheart is happy when i am happy, sad when i am sad and the two of us laugh our heads off everyday. everything she does makes me smile. i love her so.

earlier this evening i was walking home from one of my classes and i was walking past one of my favorite spots on campus listening to one of my favorite songs and i thought to myself "man i am going to miss this place once i graduate." utah state has been such a big part of me for so long. it isn't just utah state that i love or the campus but all the memories that i have of it. i was walking past the quad and then past old main down to the pathway towards my house and i was just thinking about my utah state memories. i thought about the time my friend drew and i were soooooo hungry during class. it was january and one of the coldest winters i have ever experienced in logan. as we were listening to our instructor lecture about whatever.... we both had the weridest craving for little caesars pizza. after class we walked that same walk i took today after my class, our arms linked trying to stay warm and walking fast to make it to my house so we could get in my car and head over to little caesars. drew always makes me laugh but that day he was killing me! it was joke after joke. i even remeber back then thinking, "i just want time to slow down, i don't want these moments to ever end." sometimes i wish i could go back in time, really though i do.
"The hardest thing about moving forward is not looking back"
i have the best memory, its a great thing.... or a bad thing... i don't know. i don't forget things easily and i keep a journal because for some reason i like looking back. i like to reminisce. i like seeing where i was exactly a year ago and i like comparing it to where i am now. its weird sometimes i even read old text messages from friends. funny huh? however, with that said, i do love looking foward with hope. even during times in my life when i don't know what to make of a certain situation i just have to patiently wait and know that one day it will make sense to me. in the meantime, i just gotta enjoy each moment and have fun in every situation. life is short and long and ever changing but it is pretty dang great.
