Sleepover!

So my dear lovely friend Ashley is leaving to go back up to school at USU in Logan. So while her parents are up in SLC with her little sister, she needed someone to come sleep over to keep her safe (of course I'm the perfect person for this) so we took some pictures before she leaves on Thursday :( I'll miss you Ash!!!

Me and my Ashley!

Me, Ashley, and Emma

Kisses good bye

Bear Lake trip #1

So this past weekend was my singles ward camp out at Bear Lake at my Bishop's cabin. It was breathtaking up there and had so much fun bonding with my friends. My friend Joe took this amazing pictures.

Next weekend I will be going back to Bear Lake with my family and I can't wait.
Then  I start school then going to San Diego :) Going to be a great couple of weeks.

Sitting on my porch...

The sky is clear and blue. I'm sitting on my porch listening to music and appreciating my life and the amazing people I hold dear to my heart. And of course I had to take a few pictures.

Recently

My amazing and beautiful bestie, Kaila, finally got her braces off and hot diggity she looks great. She's always been so pretty but now she is a knock out! I love her.

In just three short weeks I got back to school *sigh*. I'm anxious but also not so excited on how much homework I'll be doing this next semester with 3 different English classes and my final Math class. Spring semester I should be done with my Associates degree, which is super exciting. Then only 2 more years and I'll be teaching:).

Also I painted my nails. I like em.

Shark Week

Nuff said

OH geez

I'm usually a happy person. I do suffer from Anxiety and depression but I take pills to help me. As I'm sitting at work tonight, out the blue I got hit with a huge wave of depression and loneliness. I don't know where it came from and I can't believe how vulnerable I am. Out of no where I wrote myself a letter... I look back and read it and think, "Wow, you are not happy with yourself."

Here's what I wrote:

"Natasha is a jealous freak who needs to be locked away and never be let out in public ever again. She will live her life alone and depressed. She will never get married and have kids. You should quit caring for yourself and let yourself go because you won't impress anyone anyways. Compared to other girls, you are nothing. Get used to being alone and unloved by those you seek love from. You are worthless and pathetic. You don't deserve happiness. Wallow in self pity you stupid fat cow.  
Love, Natasha"

I'm gonna say I'm a little down in the dumps.

I love

Wipes!!!


You know Amy Winehouse kept saying no no no to rehab, she should have said yes.

You will be missed Teri!

Teri Elizabeth Jackson was full of life and love! I had many classes with her in high school. She was short haired, freckled, and vibrantly loud haha. She was always the one in the back of the class cracking jokes. I never saw her frown, there was always a smile on her face.

Friday afternoon she was swimming in the Colorado River and the current picked up and she started yelling for help, but her friends weren't able to grab her. She started trailing down the river. Search and rescue pronounced her dead today saying that she drowned on Friday. She will be very missed and remembered.

WE LOVE YOU TERI! 

Camp Vention!

So every summer there is a Camp Vention with Narcotics Anonymous which my mom is involved with and we have gone every single year for the past 7 or so years. Here are some of the pictures from this weekend with some of the most amazing people I have ever met! Such a great weekend!

Isn't it the future already? Where are the flying cars and teleports?

Come on now, it's 2011, shouldn't we be teleporting now instead spending SOOOO much money on the up keep of cars? I'm so irritated with my car right now. I'm just ready to sell it and get a different one. As much as I love my car, I can't stand how many problems I've had with it that cost an arm and a leg. That's it, I'm going to invent a teleport.

Temples

So tonight at Institute we talked about temples some and I honestly just LOVE every single temple there is. They are so beautiful and magnificent. I can't wait til the day comes that I'm to be sealed for eternity to my companion and family.
