Mawaddge is what bwiings uss togetthaa todaay.

A ton of crazy things are happening and Im starting to feel other than I actually am. 2 nights ago, 2 of my best friends got engaged! I couldn't be more happy for them.

Im going to start with Emily. Emily is engaged to Jeremiah Denton. They knew each other for a whole 3 weeks before they got engaged! That my friends, is true love. When you know, you know. I met Emily my freshman year during volleyball tryouts. She noticed that I was wearing an EFY bracelet and thats where it all started. We had seminary together and some classes throughout high school together too. Ms. Greenfields class was probably the most memorable one and if you know Ms. Greenfield, then you know why. I am so excited for Emily and Jeremiah. They look great together and are perfect for each other. They are a great example of what a truly happy, and in love couple should be like.





Now for Marie. Marie is engaged to Steven Llewellyn who has been in my stake for as long as I can remember. It kinda makes me think...am I going to marry someone that I already know too? Someone that has been in my ward or stake for all these years and it just hasn't clicked yet? Oh the possibilities. Its hard to believe she's getting married but I am truly excited for her and Steven. They are an amazing couple and work really well with each other. Im looking forward to what comes next. Now for some more pictures...




Words cannot explain how excited I am for all of them. They have come so far and this is a really exciting time for them and I get to be a part of both of them. Emily is getting married in the Mesa temple and Marie is getting married in the Bountiful temple. Im so excited to be a bridesmaid for the both of them. I hope that one day I can be where they are now, engaged to the most amazing man for them. It gets me thinking...am I going to be engaged within 3 weeks of dating someone? or am I going to marry someone I've grown up with? My thoughts are all over the place. I know Im most likely not going to be getting married any time soon. Im not exactly ready and I don't really want to yet either. The dating scene for me hasn't been that great, ever. Im hoping that it picks up sometime in the near future. I could use a boost of self-confidence in that area. I am very confident in who I am, and I know that everything in my life is happening for a reason, so I try not to get down on myself when I see all these people dating and getting engaged when Im just not. One day it will be my turn and I definitely look forward to that day. In the mean time, Im just going to live my happy single life just the way I want to until the time is right for me to find my man.

Last day of work.

So last thursday was my last day of work and its tradition in the food and beverage department that when its someones last day, they get soaked with water in some way shape or form. A week before my last day, two guys quit and all they got was sprayed but a hose. But no, my last day was taken to the extreme. I got thrown into the lagoon. So nasty. My uniform still reeks of that dirty water even after washing it. Anyway, I was not expecting that at all but it makes a fun memory! I had the time of my life working at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was amazing and I will never forget it. Here are some pictures throughout my time there. They're in a super random order...sorry.

Last day with as many people I could find. (Left to right: Tiare, Liz, Roger, Larissa, Caesar, Me, Anthea, Lana)
