Football. Fun. Dance. Wedding.

Well my title pretty much sums it all up. But I guess I can explain in a little more detail :) On Thursday night I went to the football game with Courtney, Dillon, Jay, and Katie :) What an adventure that game was, we scored in the first 3 minutes! Finally we were playing some real football!!! We ended up winning 42-13 or 48-13 something of the sort, basically we killed them. As well there was a little fiasco that went down, a guy dressed up as a ref. jumped into the game and started stripping.....chaos broke out! Friday night I ended up babysitting Mackenzie and Zachary, the whole time we colored. They are so great and easy to entertain! That same night I headed home to Gilbert for the crazy day ahead of me. The next morning I woke up and watched some TV with the parentals.....then we drove to Nileahs performance at a fair! She was so precious and did an amazing job dancing!! I seriously felt like a paparazzi with all the pictures I took of her, I will spare you with just a couple photos :) We all went to lunch at Somburros, I love that place and loved getting to spend time with my Nileah bug :) Mom and I went shopping after for some dresses for the wedding. We found adorable ones of course--except I am lame and didn't get a family photo at the wedding. Brittany Zane for those of you who dont know what my absolute best friend when I was little she lived across the street from me in our old house. We loved playing doctor, collecting sunflower seeds, attempting to rescue baby birds, and my personal favorite squirting ourselves with spray bottles :) It was sooooo wonderful to see her get married, the wedding was so perfect! It was a small back yard wedding with close family and friends. I had goosebumps when she walked down the aisle, its so funny to remember someone when they are 6 and now they are 20 and getting married to the love of their life. Oh and Jared her husband I absolutely LOVE him! I met him a while ago for those of you who remember that post, he is so awesome. AND AND they have a beautiful baby boy together named Dane who is just as precious as a button, I got to meet him for the first time at the wedding. I love them and am so glad I can still be a part of her life :) Congrats Brit! That was pretty much my weekend, I did homework on Sunday practically all day, went to church LOVED it! Got to visit and meet some awesome people. Life is good :)

Seriously?!? This is so precious!!

I will update later on the happenings of life, BUT I had to share this!! Its just so adorable! 

Everything happens for a reason

These past weeks have been super crazy for myself and my family. These explain everything that has been going on in life, God has a plan for all of use, we may not know what it is but if we follow our hearts and trust in God, everything will turn out in the end. 

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” 
― Marilyn Monroe

"Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand" ~Isaiah 41:10  

Please pray for my parents and Guy's family....Guy went to be with our savior last week, it has been a very difficult week for my parents but we know he is looking down on us. Guy was very special to daddy and he will always be in our hearts. Here is a picture from Texas in front of Guy's Model T.

DC as in Washington DC and DC Cupcakes!!!!

Last weekend I had the wonderful fantastic opportunity to go to Washington DC and Arlington Virginia for Sigma Alpha's National Convention!! I went with three other girls; Laura, Jackie, and Tatayana. I had such an amazing time meeting wonderful girls from all around the United States that have the same passions as me :) The time difference literally killed us, being 3 hours ahead is a little difficult, think about it we were waking up at 7am DC time which was 4 in the morning in AZ. OUCH!! Besides the lack of sleep and some lack of food, they apparently did not know we were ag girls and like to eat {we are not normal sorority girls as everyone said} they served us muffins for breakfast one morning and pizza for lunch--so many carbs! But we had free time at night, thank goodness and we went to an AMAZING restaurant I got a steak which tasted so delicious and I never eat steak. Laura got the swordfish which i tried and actually enjoyed and Jackie got some type of squash pasta and that was really good as well! We also went to DC Cupcakes that night, oh my lanta I was super excited! Literally I could not contain my excitement!!! For those of you who don't know DC cupcakes has a TV show and I frequently watch it :) You will definitely not miss my excitement in the pics. That same night we toured DC, it is so gorgeous I am in awe of all the monuments, they were such a site and I am so grateful to have seen them. I want to take my family back because it was just so awesome! The next day we had a full day of Sigma Alpha, breakfast, lunch, and dinner banquets and meetings....it was a long but productive day. I was the delegate for Alpha Rho which is our chapter and we had to vote in Congress about amendments and on new officers for National Sigma Alpha. We also attended a couple of workshops and met Josh who is an AGR boy which was here not that long ago for our boys retreat, too funny! I also had a reaction that day, what a surprise, Kalea having an allergic reaction, NO WAY! haha it was from the cookies----but I am still alive :) That night we tried to go to Arlington Cemetary but it closed at 5 :( so we took some pictures out front to say we had at least been there and spent some more time taking pictures in the beautifulness since we did pay a cab to take us there for $14. Then we went back to the hotel and did homework, bleh! BUT the next morning was great we woke up early and toured more....I got to go to the Holocaust Museum, I literally could spend hours in there, no joke its so cool {if you have not been, you should go!} Then the rest of the day we hit a lot of the war monuments, did a little shopping, and headed to the airport. It was a wonderful trip, DC is gorgeous, I would seriously move there, I collected so many leaves and stopped to look ar so many plants the girls just laughed the whole time. Oh ya I forgot I learned how to use the metro--not a fan! It is kind of dirty, between cabs, shuttles, and the metro those 3 days to say the least I am not wanting to go back on them.....there are onlly so many germs I can handle!! That is pretty much my trip in a lot of words but you will see the amazing pictures and understand!
