Last Friday (june 22nd)

{p.s. these are the outfits we picked out}
Deven & Mckenzee

I got the chance of taking my BROTHER & soon to be SISTER-in-law shopping. WHY those 2??? Well... this Saturday is the day they will be taking their first step closer to marriage...their engagement pictures. Exciting, RIGHT?! Yes, they asked me to take them & to tell ya the truth I was quite honored!

Of course our trip started up at the one & only City Creek {oh how I love that place}. The very first store we hit was one I had never been in & it will definitely not be my last I loved it. It's called Cotton On....ever heard of it? Well I wasn't quite familiar with it, but their sales are what railed us in. And yes Kenz did purchase something from Cotton on & yes I did as well.

Not only did we hit Cotton On, but of course F21 & H&M. They both purchased items at both of these stores & let me tell you what...I think we did a good job!!! {pictures of their outfits will be up soon}

I got my brother to buy a jacket & a shirt he would never on his own buy. It turns out he was also quite happy with his purchase & the honest truth is my brother Deven is probably one of the pickiest people I know when it comes to his clothes :) And that is a FACT! So we definitely accomplished quite a bit.

{this was my cheap purchase from Cotton On}>>LoVe themm

After our shopping trip which by the way took a lot of contemplating in each store..we were all starved so we stopped at Subway. I don't know how this place never gets old to me. I guess you could say I'm a sucker for sandwiches :) For helping these 2 out, Dev bought my sandwich for me. How GREAT! Anyway after our shopping and dinner, it all ended with yummy dessert & a quick visit to see little Brookie!

MCDONALDS ICE CREAM--small cone style!

I don't know what it is, but this has been my favorite lately & ya know maybe its cause its cheap!

All in all it was a great time & I was so glad I was able to do it. I will for surely post a picture of their winning outfits...REAL SOON!!! Thanks you 2...can't wait 8.16.2012!!!

HELLOoo!

I'm back...without homework, tests, finals, quizzes, but also w/out my friends, the get togethers, & Logan. I can honestly say after taking my my last final in class, a deep deep clean, to packing & leaving I was sad. I was sad to leave that place I called home for 9+ months. So much will be missed.
But I am sooooo glad SUMMER is here!

{tiring}Tuesday- After leaving finals and Logan behind I headed to City Creek w/ my whole life in a big white car. Luckily my dad headed home with my stuff and I went shopping with my 2 sisters Haley, Whitney, & my Mom. Oh how I love City Creek. We only hit 1 store Forever 21 & that's all we needed to hit. We found such cute CLOTHES & I loved picking out a million things for her. After shopping we ate late at Village Inn. YUM!!! (p.s. when we got home all my stuff was unpacked out of the car--my dear sweet POPS unloaded it for me-you should see it...it's a MESS)

{wild}Wednesday- I started training for a new job in Orem...After a long day of training I was able to greet Nin & Brooky at their house in SLC! We hit Walmart, McDonalds, Ikea, Arctic Circle, & Target. I also took my last last final online. Don't worry Brooky was there to cheer me on, throw my papers everywhere, drool all over my notes and through the whole thing shed distracted me. Luckily I finished it in time and did pretty well on it.

{tight}Thursday- I headed back to Orem for training. I spent a lot of hours there and drove all the way back home...yes all the way. When I got home my cousin Carol (she has been in my photos before) was there. YAY! Because it was so late when I got there we all played cards and just enjoyed each others company. I also got to have a sleepover w/ my Mom because my Dad was in Kansas City.

{fast}FRIDAY- This time Carol & Haley drove up with me to Provo, but I dropped them off at the BYU Invitational (track meet) & I headed to go train. Yes, I did do this all 3 days. And I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I got done around 3 so I quickly headed to the meet to watch a few events. I had so many friends and family running, so I definitely wanted to support a few of their races. I met up with Haley, Carol, & my cousin Beau (my cousin roomie). We had a good time & cheered everyone on we knew. On our way back home we had a fun drive. We laughed, talked, and we sang at the top of our lungs. Once we got back 3 more visitors were their... my Aunt Julie, cousin Emma & Allyson. We all had a blast together by making yummy dinner, laughing and dancing in the kitchen as well as just talking the night away.

{surprise}SATURDAY- My mom, Carol & myself headed back to Provo for the BYU Invitational. We met back up with Beau & my other cousin Melissa. I can't tell you how much I love track. I love watching it, but even more than watching I love competing in it. And to tell you the truth I never thought I would miss it, but I do. It was a great day under the sun & clouds. Everyone I was cheering for did so well & I am proud of them all. We had to leave the meet early because of Haley's Surprise Sweet 16 Birthday Party. Yes we were crazy enough to do this (Melinda, Whitney, my Mom, & I). Let's just summarize it with it was completely chaotic, but it turned out soooo cute, soooo fun, & Haley loved it once she got passed the part of being embarrassed by the HUGE "SURPRISE!" I only stayed at the party for about an hour and a half. It was my turn to go to another party. A big end of school year BON FIRE. It was good to catch up with friends from High School and other people as well. Such an amazing day!

{soothing}Sunday- What a great birthday day. Not only did we all attend church, but I also bore my testimony. I just felt that strong prompting to go & do it. So I did :) What a wonderful feeling it is. When we got home we all hit the kitchen and started cookin' Haley's birthday dinner. "Hawaiian Haystacks" = YUM! The day consisted of relaxing and bonding. I can't tell you how much I love my family. They are my best friends and I don't know what I would do without them all.

Of course Sunday is the most stylish day of the week...so here are the outfits of the day!
