EARTHFEST
I love concerts. They're just great. :D And I love going to concerts with my dearest Megan. Saturday Megan, Mason and I went to Earthfest 3 put on by Mix 107.9. It was great. Downtown Fiction made my day. They have a song called "Thanks For Nothing" Check it out, if it doesn't make you giggle, I don't know what will. Here's the pic!

I want sunshine!
This spring really sucks. It just rains rains rains. All the time! I'm sick of it! I want it to be summer!!! Grr. So really, I'm posting this blog to talk about how awesome Mason is. The sunshine stuff is just because I'm sick of it being sunny all day and the as soon as I get off work it's cold and windy and rainy. Ugh. Right, now about Mason...
Can I just say how hilarious it is when people ask us how we met? HA. It gets a little awkward. But I've gotten to the point where I don't even care! He's just so great, it really doesn't matter. (Side note for those that don't know... Mason and I met while I was dating his younger brother Jacob.)
First off, he puts up with my crazy "missions." When I am on a mission, it's usually best to just get the hell out of the way before you get run over or I yell at you for not reading my mind. Yesterday, I was on a mission to set up a home office AND find a place in my already over crowded room for the 32 inch TV that was just "donated" to me. :) (THANK YOU CARRIE!) I had asked Mason to come help because I'm not strong enough to move a lot of the furniture by myself. Anyway, we spent about an hour and a half on this little project of mine, and the whole time he was just so dang helpful! I adore him for that. He's such a good sport.
I love that Mason and I spend quality time with BOTH of our families. It's great to just go hang out at his house with all of his younger siblings, or go to their soccer games or whatever. But then we can also go to a movie with Tavin and just have fun. Especially when Tavin starts throwing popcorn at Mason. (It was kind of a "you had to be there" moment, but it was HILARIOUS, I'm still laughing about it 2 weeks later.)
This past weekend Mason and I went to Shosone falls with my family. For those of you who haven't ever been there, it is absolutely beautiful and 100% worth going. We had a really good time and I loved watching Tavin and Mason climb over the mountain made of all the rocks. He fits in so well with the fam, it's never awkward. Our trip got cut a little short when disaster struck and Mason's basement flooded and we had to rush back to SLC, but it was just amazing how well everything worked. He had fun with my family and I went and helped his family tear apart their basement. Do you know how amazing it is to feel so welcomed and loved by people who aren't your family?
Mason's aunt Casey moved to Vegas this past weekend and she pretty much BEGGED he and I to come down and help, which we declined. But she texted me the other day to tell me she could use a cupcake. So random, and has a back story, but I loved that she feels comfortable and close enough with me that she just texted me. I loved it.
I love feeling comfortable and confident in my relationship. I love knowing that the people I love and care about the most are happy for me. :) Life is pretty dang good right now. Pretty dang good.
Pretty falls!
The "seagull" ;) (It's really a falcon)
Can you find them?
Tavin and Mason at the top!
So let's just all take this moment to "Count our many blessings" and be grateful for all the things we're given that we sometimes don't even know we need. There's a song by Darius Rucker called "This" and it talks about how grateful he is that he missed out on all of the things he was disappointed about. But things all work out. And it makes it ALL worth it.

Funny things professors say.
So I have this professor that is from New Zealand. And sometimes he says stuff that is just funny. Especially when you throw the accent in. For example:
"Sorry folks, that's real life!" Not so funny on it's own, but he's my stats professor so he says it about EVERYTHING. It just gets funnier every time. Especially when you're thinking to yourself "How is this ever going to be useful in the real world?"
"In statistics, there is no gender fence. Either you're a man or a woman." Who knew?! ;)

Merry Christmas
So it's Christmas! Yea!!! :D I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. Nummy food, friends, family, presents! It's just great. This year was a really great one. Yesterday we had our traditional Christmas eve dinner. We started doing it on Christmas Eve when I was pretty young because we always spent Christmas day traveling to my Grandma's house. After dinner we all took care of a bunch of last minute details and then we went to temple square to look at all the pretty lights. My ring was supposed to be done yesterday but Zac had me convinced that they hadn't called yet so I was kinda bummed out about that. This morning I woke up to some pretty great gifts! Santa Claus brought me my new phone! It's the Palm Pixi. I LOVE it!!! :) It just makes me so happy. Santa also brought me a new book! It's called the People Code by Dr. Taylor Hartman. I had it checked out from the library and was obsessed with it so I'm pretty happy about that. Then we all opened our gifts from one another. I got my ring from Zachary. :) It was a great Christmas Morning surprise. Tavin gave me makeup (woohoo!!! :D), my mom and dad got me a bracelet and a shirt. Zac gave my family a game called Phase 10 Twist and although we haven't played it yet I'm pretty excited. My aunt Laura drew my parents names for the family drawing this year and when she asked what my parents wanted I just told her the two things they had both been talking about. A camera for my mom and dishes for my dad. They couldn't believe it when they opened them! It was great. Tavin got pretty much all jeans. At least a pair from all of us. I'm guessing some of them will go back but at least he has some now! He's been pretty desperate. After all that Zac and I went to his family's house. It was pretty fun. A lot different though! I ended up with a dog bite, you know, I've never gotten bitten by a dog before, but it hurts!! I still have a welt. :( Other than that, it was a lot of fun. I got new shampoo! And a blanket! And nummy candy! It was great. After that we went to Zac's apartment to put away everything and play with our new toys. We started watching O Brother Where Art Thou because his roommate Scotty had given it to him, but I fell asleep about a half hour in. Oops! After I had woken up I came home to spend the rest of the day with my family. But then my mom and dad left so she could go play with her new camera. LOL. Oh well. :) We're leaving tomorrow to head up to see the rest of my family in Pocatello. It should be a lot of fun, and I'll get to see my uncle Robert and all of his family for the first time in quite awhile. (They were living in Texas and just moved to Arizona). I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Candles
So as you know, I've been trying to teach myself how to play the guitar. Here is my latest attempt. There's a weird glitch in the middle and some mess ups, but there you have it. :) And yes, I'm aware it's out of tune. My bad.
