you may not believe this

so you may not believe that on monday i called 104.3 the cowboy & quali-flyed for a drawing for a trip to see george & reba in nashville on september 11th. {also received a cd from the stash}
if you don't believe that you especially will not believe that the very next day i called 101.5 the eagle because i was determined to win brad paisley tickets. i took a break @ work at 12:10 so i could go out to my car & listen for the brad paisley song & on my last attempt to call in it rang & rang, i was about to hang up because i figured they already had the winner & all of a sudden he answers & said i was caller 10 & asked if i wanted a pair of brad paisley tickets i was freakinggg out & practically yelled "more than you know!!!"!! you serioulsy would have thought i won the lottery. so if my luck continues on friday morning i'll hear my name on 104.3 ksop@ 7:15 am which means i would win the fly away to nashville. i really think i'd pass out.

repeat

"somebody's gotta scratch your back, the places you can't reach.
say something that'll make you laugh when that's exactly what you need.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
somebody's gonna get dressed up, take you out for valentines.
getting lots of jealous looks thinkin' that's one lucky guy.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
and you keep on wondering who is gonna love you like i already do, and i keep wondering when you'll see, that eventually.
somebody's gotta throw on a coat, when your fever hits a hundred and two.
go down & pick your prescription up, come home & fix you soup.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
somebody's gonna buy a ring, somebody's gonna make you cry.
somebody's gonna lift that veil, and get to look into your eyes.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
cause you keep on wondering who is gonna love you like i already do, and i keep wondering when you'll see, maybe eventually.
old man on a front porch swing, looking back on his long life.
glass of iced tea in his hand, other arm around his wife.
and i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's me."



by repeat i mean that i have literally listened to this song at least 1oo times today.
thanks bradley for the amazing song. {brad paisley}

apology

sorry for the immensely depressing blog post.
things are still rough around my neck of the woods & i miss my best friend a little more each day but i know in the end things will play out how they are meant to.
until that happens i have decided to focus a little bit more on the one thing i do have control over & that is me. i'm gonna rededicate myself to the gospel. get the career i want & back into photography. start working out again & learning more about patience. i thought i had acquired patience...but learned i'm far from mastering that little virtue. so here is to learning more about handling lifes twists & turns & faith & patience.
on an exciting note i'm starting to take pictures again...my favorite from kami & robbie's engagements. they get married september 18th couldn't be more excited for them! <3

miss you

dear best friend,
the last 48 hours have been eventful, but i feel numb to it all, & i'm hoping this will somehow reach you.
i've been dying to tell you about the bomb threat @ work & how they didn't even inform us or evacuate us.
or how the little midget lady tried to peek out my window to see why cops were everywhere & it took her 3.4 minutes to realize that she was too short to see over the suburban i had to bite my lip from laughing out loud & asking her if she wanted a boost.
or how the spreadsheet from you know where came back today & all i could do was laugh because i wanted to cry.
or how i wanted to text you: "niu".
or how i ran into my 9th grade seminary teacher & felt awful i couldn't remember his name & he remembered me.
or show you the hilarious youtube video megan showed me so we could make it a new inside joke.
or how my scriptures that have been lost for months randomly showed up in the lost & found.
or how i'm taking engagement pictures for one of my good friends who is getting married in 6 weeks & i'm actually pretty nervous about it, but in a good way.
or how i tried to find the big dipper tonight so i could tell you i found it first & hoped you were trying to find it too.
or how i'm finally pursuing the career i want & i'm gonna at least fake it big until i make it big no matter how long it takes.
or how i still can't make myself list my car on ksl & how i'd secretly hope you would tell me not to sell it again or that i needed to sell it & buy a truck so i would be safe.

but the truth is, maybe i'd just cry & tell you that getting out of bed in the morning is the hardest. because i still know today i won't see you but i still hope beyond anything else the next time i look at my phone the text will be from 'forrester'or i'll drive home & see your red truck parked out front or how i keep faking smiles because i know one day it will feel normal again. and how i miss you being the last person i talk to at night & the first person in the morning. & maybe i'd want you to lie & say this big hole in my heart will eventually get smaller and i'll remember how to talk to people without feeling awkward. but tonight i know i'm stuck talking to myself.
i miss you.
sincerely,
your bem

camping

we went camping up @ forest lake this weekend {af canyon past tibble fork}
it is quite an excursion to get there, some serious off roading. but it was sooo fun & really beautiful!

first we set up camp & my wonderful boyfriend cooked dinner which consisted of italian sausages with imported cheese in the middle...fortunately camping is totally his thing so he does everything...the only time it isn't great is when i have to eat what i'm given which i guess is good for me :)

then we had a campfire, sat around & talked about twilight of all things ha. & we danced to what i call our song "than" by brad paisley. so cuteee he is always doing sweet little things that make me smile!

in the morning we did some more off roading & hanging out. it was a perfect camping trip! {minus the fact that i had to pee @ 3 in the am, that was fun}

overall conclusion: camping is fun once again!

22


turned 22. had an awesome day. lots of love from everyone, i have such amazing friends & family! the boy tricked me in order to surprise me, & i must say even though it was a mean trick i loved it. i think he loved it more than me though.
here is the gift wrapped & waiting for me to open it...wal-mart bag classy {not only was it wrapped in a wal-mart bag, it was 5 bags, newspaper ad & another wal-mart bag ha ha}

this is the best picture because at this point i thought he really had gotten me a piggy bank & he is stoked because i was so disappointed.

come to find out i had a coupon for dinner & tim mcgraw tickets on july 30th waiting inside the piggy bank for me!!! {as a clue the card said, remember its whats inside that really matters} just what i wanted!!!!

mint brownies :) then we went to the pg rodeo so fun but freezingggg!!
it really was the best birthday i can remember, 22 isn't so bad yet.

silly

"if you lived to be 100 i would want to live to be 100 minus 1 day so i'd never have to live without you!" -winnie the pooh

i thought that was so sweet so i texted it to forrest thinking he'd for sure have something cheesy to say to me...he said "so you'd make me live a day without you...kind of selfish." ha he is perfect at killing the moment but makes me giggle everytime :)
