making memories.

I have been so bad at keeping up with my blog lately. I blame it on all of my traveling :) I went to Balitmore, MD and Washington, D.C. and two days later flew to Green Bay to go to a Green Bay Packers game. Both trips were so much fun! Pictures will be up shortly. This is a crazy week. Work is busy and I have bachelorette partying to do on Saturday night which I cannot wait for! Then one of my bff's birthdays is on Sunday! Happy early birthday Jenna!! ♥


I bought this workout DVD today! (Thanks to Audrey for the recommendation). I can't wait to start it. I have heard it is amazing!! This is hopefully going to get me into shape for Vegas for Halloween for Jenna's bach party! So many exciting things going on in the next few months :)

Tonight is the start of ASU football! Football is my favorite sport. I love everything about it. I love getting all bundled up to go to games and drinking hot chocolate. (When it gets cold enough in AZ). I love the atmosphere at the games; especially ASU games because there are so many students and fans that go. ASU plays Idaho St. tonight and they are favored to win. Hopefully they will be pretty good this year! My boyfriend's favorite team is the Green Bay Packers and we are going to watch a game at Lambeau two weeks from Sunday. We are really excited!

Let's go DEVILS!!

Please hurry.

This is what I want right now. FALL. Changing leaves. Pretty colors. I know I will have to drive or fly somewhere else to see these things since they are pretty much nonexistent in the desert. Maybe I will get a glimpse of the beginning of fall when I go to Baltimore and DC in a couple weeks. I like living in Arizona but I sure miss living in the Midwest and getting four seasons. I miss jumping in big piles of leaves and finding ladybugs. I miss making snow forts. I miss the spring showers and beautiful flowers. (Hey, that rhymes!) Maybe one day I will be able to move somewhere to experience these things again. I would love for my kids to have some of the same memories that I have from my childhood. ♥

“The best way you can cheer yourself up is to cheer someone else up”

- MARK TWAIN

Every day I try to think of something nice I can do for someone else. It doesn't have to be anything big, just something thoughtful. Nothing feels better than knowing you made someone smile and made their day just a little better. :)

he's a keeper.

i don't know how i got so lucky to end up with such a great boyfriend. he is the funniest person i know; i can always count on him to make me smile and cheer me up if i am having a bad day- not to mention he does laundry, cooks, does the dishes and walks the dog. life is good. :)
