Confused.


Embarrassed.


I love him. (ignore his red eyes..we do)

I ate Cheese. and Ducks...I didn't eat a Duck.

So... If you know me you should know that I DON'T LIKE CHEESE! I hate it. It's something about the texture that just really freaks me out. So Nathan is very aware of this...BUT yesterday he forced it down my throat!!!! OK OK OK that was a tad dramatic. He didn't force it on me...but he made enchiladas and really encouraged me to eat it... Some call it peer pressure...BUT I looked into those beautiful eyes of his...took a deep breathe and thought "ok one bite won't kill me".

I did it.

Here is a video for proof...


OK...it wasn't that bad...

Thanks Nate for making me try it... :) But I am still saying NO WAY to Sushi right now!

Also...I got this sweater for $7.00! BOMB!


ALSO...We held Baby ducks! They were just hanging out at my house the other night! They are so cute! :) I didn't want to hold it but then I did!


xoxo Happy Wednesday xoxo Al

as of now...-

Hello. It's Sunday night and I can't sleep. WHY? So I think I will just write a quickie on what's been up!

This past week I have met a new side of me... I do Crafts. ? odd... My roommates and I decided we are all painters. This weekend, I kid you not we all painted in our living room for hours and hours. It was so fun just hanging watching movie after movie and painting..who knew? I painted a Paris picture (typical) ...

end result it says "Let's dream of Paris" in french.

It was fun and I am proud of my little picture!

Also a little FINGER ART today with my Nails...


Right now I am doing "LENT" and I gave up sweets...IT IS LITERALLY KILLING ME. It's already hard without candy...and now everything SWEET is GONE! Its been 2 weeks and I am ready to die. And the WORST OF WORST is it is Easter Candy season...the best Candy season there is...

Oh you know just me being dramatic about not eating the BEST CANDY EVER!
So... I have to turn to Sugar drinks when I feel like I am about to DIE. haha I am pathetic!

My Darling Boyfriend is teaching me how to play CHESS. He is so good and I am so NOT. But good thing Nate is patient. He is a good teacher. Just one of the many qualities that make him GREAT!


also...My hair is getting longer... OH and I hula dance for excersise as of Saturday! It's the best! I can't CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER! This weather is killing me... Overall Life is Great and Beautiful and I am so thankful for the wonderful blessings I have!
Happy almost Monday...good luck with a new week...we all need it.

I Craft I Guess...

So........ When there isn't much to do in Logan you decide to go to a local store called HOBBY LOBBY.

Hobby Lobby: a place of arts and crafts. a money waster.DANGER.

Myself and some of my roommates have been quite into arts and crafts lately. We LOVE HOBBY LOBBY. Here is whats up... My roommate (BROOKE) and I decided we are going to make these "wish jars" ...

Wish Jar: A jar you put money in when you do a good deed so that you can buy things you want (clothes, nail polish, shoes, food ect..)

As poor college students you soon realize you CAN'T impulse buy very much or else you'd be poor...more than you already are. So Brooke and I decided to make a Jar. Every time we read our scriptures or work out we can put a dollar in the Jar. Or if we do something awesome...dollar in the jar. It is a good way for us to stay motivated and not spend so much money.

So...the jars are way cute and I decided to show mine!



me shopping at the greatest store known to crafters...


end result. it was fun and I think it's so cute!

Happy Friday! xoxo PS: We just bought canvas and we plan to paint tonight so stay tuned! Oh the perks of your boyfriend being out of town...Craft Night with the girls!

Ending Winter-

I am so curious to why the HECK I live in Logan, UT... It is so cold up here....and what's really sad is it hasn't actually been too bad this year compared to last year. This weather as of late has been WEIRD. bipolar. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel I keep thinking about how next month is March...March is wishy washy weather...its the end of Winter and the start of Spring. That means that there is hope people.


I get so angry in the COLD AND WET ATMOSPHERE. Basically I can't wait for Summer. xoxo Al

Sweetheart?

Hello. I seriously suck at blogging these days! Things are pretty darn dandy lately so I thought I would do a little what I did over the weekend update and of course Valentines Day! :)

This past weekend was really fun! Mackenzie was swimming the backstroke for Alta in the 5A state competition and going on her first DATE to the sweethearts dance! So naturally I needed to go down to Salt Lake to witness all this excitement and I decided to bring this Dashingly handsome boy with me ({[Nate]})! ROAD TRIP!!!


We headed down to SLC on Friday and ended up going to see "THE VOW" with my parents and Grandma. I actually really didn't LOVE The Vow. It was not what I expected it to be...BUT it was still good! On Saturday we were pretty darn packed with events! Mackenzie did really good in her competition! She took 2 seconds off her swim which in swim lingo is SUPER GREAT! I am so proud of Mackenzie! She is a really great swimmer and she is passionate about her sport which makes her even better! She also looked pretty dang sexy going to Sweethearts! I got to do her hair which was really fun! She is growing up so Fast... little cutie.



It was such a fun weekend to be able to spend time with my family and with Nate in Draper! Ps: Nate dominated at Cards...typical.

VALENTINES DAY-

OK... I am a lucky girl. I woke up on Valentines to a beautiful bouquet of roses and a box of hearts that made into a note to unscramble a message from Nate. It was such a great way to start off my day! :) While he was at school I took the liberty to "heart attack" his room and drop off a little something something. Later that night we went to dinner and got together with some of our friends! It was a simply perfect day!

Valentines Day is a great way to celebrate Love...But you should do that everyday... :)


Happy Wednesday :) xoxo Al

Girls Night-

Sometimes its nice to just kick back with the girls! Last night my roommates and I bonded over a typical girls evening! It was really fun! The night got kicked off with a session of P90X. OUCH! That's all I am saying about that! Today I sneeze and I am in pain! After we made yummy smoothies did facials and pedicures and tried a coconut oil rinse in our hair (it is suppose to make your hair grow...?) It was such a fun night with my incredible roommates! Thanks for the fun night girls! PS- We are still playing NERTS...a lot.

here are a couple pics of the evening!Enjoy xoxo Al

Life Update...Finally-

Hello Hi. I am finally going to blog. Well, were to start... Spring semester has started and is off to a GREAT start! I am pleased with my classes and I think its going to be a lot better than last semester...But seriously anything is up from last semester. A lot has changed. First: I moved into the BEST LIVING SITUATION THERE IS IN LOGAN, UTAH!!!!
yes yes the rumors are true I live in The Hamptons. I know, I am so lucky! Ok... I don't really live in the Hamptons but I do live in a town house called Hampton Ridge. It is a darling house and It has the best girls living in it! I have the best roommates EVER! There are TEN, 10, dix, diez, TEN GIRLS living in this house. At first your like "holy crap thats a lot of estrogen!!!" But once your here...you'll have the time of your life! I have never laughed so hard as I do in this house! Thank you so much to the Hampton girls for making me feel so welcome! Oh and Justin love you. (Justin Bieber cut out lives here too)



Over Christmas Break I modeled for one of my good friends Emilie Woodhead. She is a upcoming photographer and fashion photographer. Here are a couple sample pictures of her work! And a link to her website! She did a fabulous job and It was a really FUN Shoot! http://emiliewoodheadphotography.blogspot.com/




I am so busy right now (typical) I am starring in two shows that open tomorrow! EEK! One is a comedy and one is a drama. I think that they will be great shows. I am crossing my fingers. more to come on that subject! Another subject that I am a fan of is this Boy. Nathan.

He is Kind, patient, dashingly handsome, sarcastic, smart, loving and so many more things. He puts a huge smile on my face and I am so thankful he has walked into my life!

Things that haven't changed...My sick addiction to Pinterest...my love for chocolate and sad movies. OH I got NEW GLASSES. They are so swanky. SWANKY is my new favorite word.

Swanky:
1. A person or object that is posh, high-class, glamorous, classy, upmarket, etc.


Another word that is fun... "dapper"

Dapper:
A compliment made to someone who looks incredibly smart, sexy and stylish
Example- "Oscar, you look really dapper tonight"

Things are good Life is good! xoxo Al
