My thoughts

I can't believe it's already Thursday.. The weeks go by so incredibly fast! I had such a fun weekend last weekend. Justin got the hook up in deer valley at the trails end lodge for three nights. We went up there with some other friends and had a good time relaxing, shopping, and partying! We ate dinner at an amazing steakhouse sat night.. It's called ruths Chris. Wow! I am not a huge meat lover but that steak was thee best one ive ever had!! Thanks Justin :)

Back to work monday.. It wasn't easy getting back in the swing of things but oh well. Work has been pretty busy this last week because playoff tix have gone on sale. Now if only the jazz would step up their game!! Looks like we will be playing Denver.. Ouch!



A few things I am grateful for..
My new nephew Oliver. I am in love with him

The BeAUTIFUL weather!

Anyone wanna take a road trip tp Seattle? I miss my nephew terribly.. Check him out here.
Once again, no pictures. I will be sure to upload tons of pics the next time I blog.
Life Is so great. I love it
My new favorite quote.. "the unexamined life is not worth living". How true is that??
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)

I'm back! Wow life is full of all sorts of learning experiences. I have learned so much about myself and others these last few months. I don't even know where to begin, and if I should share a specific story with you or not. My heart is bursting with joy and gratitude this very second. Instead of boring you with my life story, I will just make note of the key points and share my feelings and experiences that I've had over the last little while. This is what I have learned...

There is no "try", you either do or you don't.

I will not let people into my life who bring me down. I will surround myself with the kind of people who encourage me, and lift me up, and who love me unconditionally.

The purpose of life is to learn. THEREFORE, Everything that I have experienced and all the tears I've cried have formed me into the woman I am today. I wouldn't change my past for anything.

I am this girl you see. I do not hide behind a mask, or tell you things that I don't sincerely mean. I will be honest with you and I expect the same in return. Because I deserve it! And so do you!

I love myself.. More and more each day.



I cannot hide my smile. I have people asking me everyday why I am so happy. I've even had some people ask me if I am on drugs. No, of course not! I am just happy! I love my life. It is such a great feeling to be able to say that. The last couple years I wasn't able to say that and be 100% honest with myself. I somehow got myself stuck under this cloud of darkness (as my mom would say), I was so lost that not even I could see the change in me. I convinced myself that i was happy, and that I deserved the life I was living. I ignored the comments from loved ones around me, until it hit me. I hated myself.. And I hated my life. I never thought I would have the courage to change it though. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I am so grateful I made that leap towards this better, new life that I am now experiencing.

Some people in my life that I must thank...

My mom and Dad, Justin Larsen, My sister Ashley, Alyssa Nelson, Andrea Tesch, and Chris Sorensen.

Woooooohooooooo!!!! Life is great :) I am still working for the Jazz and looking for either another part time job or a full time job. The plan for school is still to start dental hygiene in august. I am so excited for that! Besides that, I am just enjoying those people that I surround myself with who are truly so amazing, and enjoying life. :)
