THIS IS WHO I AM

Swinging is my absolute passion. It's definitely one of my favorite things to do!

       I love sushi! 

 I love the temple.

 I go to BYU-Idaho. That is in Rexburg, Idaho for anyone who didn't already know. I didn't really used to like it here. But, now I can't seem to stay away!

 I'm absolutely obsessed with CHICK-FIL-A. I have been known to travel for hours to find a Chick-Fil-A! Nebraska didn't have one for the longest time. I spent many years leaving comment cards at every Chick-Fil-A I went to saying one needs to be built in Nebraska! My dream came true in November of 2012! :) Best day ever! There is one in my HOMETOWN Papillion! :) Just around 5 minutes away from my house! 

 Someday I hope to be married in the temple

 I have a crew, they consist of my best friends: Marissa Camacho, Kristina Cookston, and Shaèla Stautmeister. We're all roommates right now and I met Kristina and Shaèla during my fall semester 2010 at BYU-IDAHO. Marissa {my bestest friend in the world!} I've known my whole life!

I love photography. But, I don't only love taking photos, editing them I enjoy as well. I am saving up for my own SLR right now (I'm planning to purchase it for a black Friday purchase). I have been stealing my sister's as often as I can to actually get some legit photos taken.

 I have a weird obsession with old barns. I don't know if it's because my grandfather (who was a farmer, and lived on a farm) has passed away and I don't get the joy of seeing his barns anymore, if it has to do with being around them growing up, or what... but I love them. :D

 I LOVE CORN! I mean who can't when you're from Nebraska! Also, the best kind of corn is Nebraska sweet corn. And anyone that has to argue that, I WILL take you!

 I've sort of recently had a small desire to be a cowgirl for the rest of my life. I know it won't happen, but I can still love horses :D which I do!

Sometimes I like to bake! And sometimes it even turns out well!!!

I LOVE THE NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS!!! GO BIG RED!!!

  Even though I've been a Husker fan my whole life I went to my first (and definitely not last) Husker game November 2010. 

 I am a CNA (for those who don't know that's a Certified Nurses Assistant). I love it to death! Go ahead and call me crazy. Because we all know what CNA'S do! It's no fun, But, really it's what you make of it. I can't describe the feeling I get when I'm around "my old people". I love them to death. They have such great lives to share and I love the opportunity to take care of them. I have been able to work in a lot of different places because of having my CNA I've gained a lot of cool experiences! 

 My family is my LIFE. They are the greatest people I know! 

 CONFESSION: in high school I was a band nerd.

 These are my parents. I am their youngest child. So, of course I'm spoiled (just don't tell my siblings I own up to it!) I am the youngest of four children.

  I like to think I was a band nerd because I was a drum major my senior year. But, truthfully I think I may have been a band nerd all four years. 

 I love feeling FREE

Meeting David Archuleta was one of the greatest days of my life!!! :] I'm also in two pictures with him here: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705395028/David-Archuleta-the-Eagle-the-temple-and-the-music.html This was November 2011.

 I gave 11 and 1/2 inches of my hair to Locks of Love in December 2010! It was hard, but all worth it in the end!

 I love the zoo! Practically any day, anytime, I'll go to the zoo! My favorite zoo though is the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Nebraska!

 I try to choose the right. :D Yes, I do wear a CTR ring! :D 24/7

 I love waterfalls! They make my life! :D This one is one of my favorites! Shoshone Falls. It's in Twin Falls, IDAHO! :D

 This is MARISSA CAMACHO she is my best friend in the whole world.

 I act like a little kid.. sometimes. And I don't care! I feel like we all need to have a little kid in us forever.

I did gymnastic when I was younger and sometimes I secretly wish I never quit.

This is my "first born" niece [I have 3 ;) I'm soo lucky!] We have too much fun taking pictures!

This is my nephew, his name is Preston. He's silly. I love him lots! But, I almost NEVER go in public without make-up. I think it's a security thing for me. I'm not super secure. But this is what I guess you could call the "real" me that most people don't see. 

I couldn't just put pictures of two of my nephews and nieces. These are all of them minus 2. Yes, they are all on top of me. This was September 2010 the night before I left for college (the WORST day of my life, I really do believe that!) So the one wearing my glasses is Brianna, the little girl behind her in the yellow is Emma, The only boy looking at the camera in the brown shirt is Preston, The boy in the blue is Spencer, and the one you can't really see with the red shorts is Drew. We're missing my sister's little girls Brooklynn. She's precious. Also, missing in this picture is my nephew Logan. He was born in September 2011. I LOVE BEING AN AUNT! It's the greatest thing in the entire world!

The FOURTH OF JULY is my favorite holiday. My whole family is obsessed. It's go big or go home when it comes to fireworks! :) We love it!

I'm pretty strange... it's a fact. But, I'm normally only strange around my closer friends. 

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE waterfalls.

 I love flowers. :]

 GREEN is the greatest color ever. LIME GREEN to be specific :)

 The Timpanogos temple in American Fork Utah is my absolute favorite temple! I think it's so beautiful! :)

 Sunsets are BOMB!!!

 I love missionaries!!! :D Writing them is my favorite.. but I have to admit that Elder Archuleta might be my favorite... he's wonderful.

 I love the book of mormon! :)

Silly faces are fun... especially with my niece Brianna :)

 Josh, my brother is my absolute BEST FRIEND. And yes, he does have a beard and wear bow ties... that he does indeed know how to tie. 

I bruise FAR too easily... especially when I get IVs.....

Here are all my nephews and nieces. :)

I love this little Asian. Her name is Jessica. We have been through quite a lot together! We have laughed and we have cried. This was on our trip to Utah back in April which started as all fun and games and ended in quite the disaster.
