Thats A Wrap…

Just like my instagram post said…. 
"A year full of way too many see ya laters and tears. But pretty soon we will have years full of cheers and happy tears! I am extremely grateful for all of the many blessing and trials through out this year. So bring it on 2015 (kitty emoji)" 
So ya, that pretty much sums it all up in about 50 words. I have had to say "see ya later" to some of my closest friends. I never expected the days to come, but like any other day it arrives wether you want it to or not. It has been the best experience being able to support, hear, and write to all of them. As they sacrifice two years of their lives for The Lord. They are all becoming amazing people that are changing the world one day at a time. 
Off of the heart aching subject…. 
I have completed my first semester of college. Woo ya! 
I could not be happier… (are you catching any of my sarcasm?) I am just grateful it is over, and I have an exciting schedule for next semester. 
With having a semester down means… A season down also! 
I have completed and competed one whole cross country season. Boy it was hard, but worth every second. 
I have met so many wonderful people through UVU, and athletics. One of my favorite things about Utah Valley is the diversity. I have met so many people from so many different backgrounds. From where they live, life style, religion, to personalities I didn't even know existed. I am so grateful for all of the amazing people in my life right now. 
The holidays were great. I had a lot of down time to relax and spend time with my family. 
I got to Skype with the one and only on Christmas Eve and it was magical ;) literally… It is mind blowing to me that we are on different sides of the world and talking. Best feeling! 
Anyways…. 
My life is dandy, and the world is spinning. So keep smiling, bundle up when leaving home, drive safe and slow, and breath. Have a happy one!!!

chilling days

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, and yes more thoughts 

This last Sunday my family had dinner with my Grandma and Grandpa Tolman. As most dinners with grandparents go, you have to act on your best behavior, pass the food around the table instead of reaching over people like we do at home, you can't say your sarcastic remarks out loud, when your sibling (emma) eats all of the bread you can't get mad at her. Do you understand what I am talking about?

Well after everyone is done stuffing their faces full of Grandma's delicious dinner we begin to talk more and more. This is clearly my favorite part. Because I LOVE talking, but most of all I love hearing my grandparents stories. This last week we heard a story from my grandpa that will stick with me forever. 

I am not a hundred percent sure as to why the topic of plane crashes came up but it did. Little did I know my grandpa has been in a plane crash!!!! HE IS ALIVE! haha 

No his story was so cool. He told us about all of the emotions he had on the plane and told how the other people in the plane were all crying and calling their families and saying there good byes. But my Grandpa knew that he would be just fine so he just stayed calm and sat tight and "enjoyed" the ride. So as the story went on he told us that he had to help everyone get out of the plane as soon as it crashed. He said that he didn't realize the how dangerous this situation until he was looking from the out of the plane.

For me this was a really cool story to hear because it showed me that I can be brave in scary situations and that staying calm is the best way.
I am so grateful for my amazing and supportive grandparents. I am extremely grateful that my Grandpa loves journal writing and that one day I will be able to read about his adventurous life! 
Much love <3
Just so ya know I am not lying….

Late night thoughts

Another late night…. 
I should be working on my homework… 
But it is not happening tonight… 

Life is going. Time is flying, everyday gets faster but the weeks 
feel longer than ever. It makes absolutely no sense at all. 

But basically I am registered for my second semester of college. WHAT?!? I know… I feel so old haha… 

I have had the best of luck the past few weeks… LIE 
I have been in contact with the police three times in the past month… Don't even get me started. 
Wyatt is doing amazing things in Taiwan :) such a inspiration of being able to do hard things. Amazing example and sunshine in my life.

Missing the simple moments

H-E-L-L-O 

Just a random post for now. 

About a month or two before Wyatt left on his mission I began filming our daily adventures. I came across this random

little one and couldn't help myself. Enjoy our laughs. 

Life is grand, a lot going on. But I am HAPPY
