Today I hung out with one of the greatest people in the world... Nicole Bridge! We went to junior high and high school and played softball together! We share a common brain wave which we like to call ESPN, the N stands for Nicole and we partially mock the movie Mean Girls! We have the same sense of humor so we understand each others jokes and just laugh all the time.
We haven't seen each other in over a year! For the past 6 months she has been studying abroad in Amsterdam and totally loved it. Tonight we hung out and it was one of the greatest nights of the summer. We didn't even do anything but talk and caught up on life! You always know a true friend when you can pick up after years and talk like you never skipped a day.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple
My family and I were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house yesterday! The building is simple in design yet elegant. One of my favorite features of this temple is the marble flooring throughout and the vibrant paintings of Christ and other stories from the scriptures.
I cannot wait for the day when I go through the temple, to be filled with the knowledge of this life and the hereafter! Sitting in the sealing room listening to a couples testimony about the importance of eternal families touched my heart and put my life into perspective. There is no other way that I want to be married except for time and all eternity!

Baseball games
Tonight I got to enjoy a beautiful evening at the baseball park. I love it! It was a good game, good company and good Action! (Action is a betting game)
Sleeping In
Last night 2:00 am just didn't seem that late. I wasn't really tired and I was blogging and digital scrapbooking. I had set my alarm at 7:30 to make it to work by 10:00. I turned off the lights and fell asleep instantly.
My mom came into my room at 10:30 and asked, "Are you supposed to work today? It's 10:30!" I flew out of bed and looked at the clock seeing it was 10:36. I frantically got ready and was out the door by 10:45! I was impressed with how good I looked for only 10 minutes and I walked into work at 11:00.
Approaching the studio it looked hectic. There were three appointments there, two viewing and ordering pictues and one waiting to go back. My awesome boss Melissa managed to help all of them at once calmly and collectively. I got into the studio and took a few pictures of a couple cute families.
After, I talked to my boss who just laughed and said not too worry. She said she was kind of worried because I am always ten minutes early and when she noticed I wasn't there she called me.
On the way home I stopped at my brother Jared's work to bring him some glasses and he treated me to Red Mango! It has turned out to be a great day!

Craftiness
So there is a little piece of me that loves art and crafts. It doesn't really matter what kind and if it's a good day then they turn out pretty good.
This summer I decided I wanted to repaint my room and in my mind I had this beautiful vision of how I wanted it. Now if any of you have tried to pick paint before it's not that easy. What you think you are looking at on this tiny little piece of paper and what actually goes on your walls are two completely different colors. So this worried me that my vision may crash and burn all because my color perception gets skewed.
Well after five days of looking over and finally decided on colors, 12 hours of taping, painting, taping and painting my bedroom turned out EXACTLY as I envisioned. So here it is... my vision that came to life!
My Room Before
The taped stripes which took almost 2 hours with my aging parents!
The beautifully envisioned stripes!
The finished product!

Summer Rain
There is nothing I love more than watching a dark gray cloud move in and cool down a warm July day! The smell of rain reaches me before the rain itself and I just sit on my front porch and wait for the beauty of summer as the storm moves in.
I love everything about the rain, the smell, the sight, the sounds and the feel of cool droplets on my warm skin. Standing in the middle of the yard with my arms stretched up and my head tilted back; watching the large drops fall to my face with some poking out my eyes!
The rain is magical and enlivens me! I can feel the thunder as it resonates through my body, and the lightening as it lights up the sky and quickly kisses everything in it's path!
