BERMUDAAAA~

I was blessed with the opportunity to go to Bermuda with such a sweet family. I can not say better things about them. They will always always have a special place in my heart. The vacation was full of fun, new, and exciting things! Who would of thought that I would even go to my waist in the ocean, let alone go snorkeling in the middle of the ocean. I will always look back on this experience and be so grateful for it all. I could rant and rave for hours about this trip but I will save that for my journal ;)


Bermuda from my plane!




I have never seen something so pretty.

Lighthouse



she wouldnt let me move for about 10 minutes.
She really wanted to tie my shoes.. :)




When I looked at this picture it made me think about life.  This is how we should live everyday.
Have the BIGGEST smile on your face, and always share it with others. 
Carson and Anna were saints the whole trip. I loved spending time with them! If I could have picked any family to be in a hotel room for 7 days with (besides my own) it would have been the Bagleys. I hope they realize how much of a blessing they are to me. Mike and Joyce are two of a kind. They are kind, funny, and very enjoyable to be around. They also have two of the best kids, and another one on the way. Cant wait to meet Grace. Once again I will always be grateful for what they do for me.

10 Days in Colorado and a Week in Yellowstone!~

How do I get so lucky? I am in the middle of my semester, and I get three vacations back to back to back. First I started with Colorado. I spent 10 days there! What a blessing. I had the time of my life. I surprised my whole family (besides dad). My grandma was there visiting too. What a bonus! Katie's dance recital was more than words can describe. What a beautiful dancer, teenager, and all around girl!!  I don't even know where to start with Casey... is he really 16, and is he really already dating?!? When did this happen? All I know is these girls he is taking out have to go through me first, along with his other 4 sisters. ;) Camille Camille Camille. What a sweet heart ! Spending time with her was amazing as always. She is just the sweetest girl on this plant. Mom and Dad are always a joy to see. They just don't change as much as the rest of them! It was great spending time with Seth and Veronica. They are two special people. And it was great to see Meagan and Joe as well! And the newest member of the family.... COOPER! our new dog... Lets see... This dog is... energetic, sweet, fiesty at times, cuddly when he wants, obedient (only to dad), lovable, bites everything, and on and on and on, but I have to admit I AM ATTACHED!! I never ever thought I would say that.
All packed to come home!
Love spending time outside with Dad

YELLOWSTONE! What a fun family vacation. It was much needed. I wish that the whole family was there but the married couples stayed home. We stayed at Madison Campground. It was nothing like usual. There were other people close around, flushing toilets, and of course our dog. We would hang out for awhile in the morning, pack a lunch and then head out for the day. We went all around Yellowstone! Some parts were boring and others were fascinating. I have to admit its a trip I would do every 5-10 years. There's only so many hotpots to see. I was bummed with the animals. There were not a lot. I saw deer (in Wyoming on our way home, not even in the park), female moose, lots of buffalo, and that's it. I was hoping for at least a far away, really far away, glance at a bear. I had my car all packed and ready to move home for the next month, so after we loaded the truck I got to follow the family home! Candice and Matt had to go back to school. :( I miss them. The first 6 hours were with Casey, and it was a blast. We jammed out to music and just talked and talked. The next day was 5 hours with Katie! We did the same. Just enjoyed each others company. NOTHING IS BETTER THAN FAMILY :)
Favorite Girl!
