Grandma

My Grandma was an amazing lady. The whole grandma package. Spoiled us rotten, always made us laugh, loved us unconditionally, had a heart of gold, and had a friendship and different relationship with all 13 grandchildren. She will never, ever be forgotten. I look forward to seing her again someday, healthy and happy.

We visited her grave today, my mom made the nice bouquet,

and me and my cousin made the snowman:)

EFY. Usually always the best week of my whole year. This past year, it was one of the most amazing weeks, ever. My company became my best friends, and my testimony grew so much. They all are fun, sweet people I'll never forget. I fell upon all my efy pictures, and videos, and decided to put them all together.

We had thanksgiving there this year at my Aunt Karens gorgeous house, with 23 of us! Our tradition on Thanksgiving is to play a loooong round of BINGO! Lots of Turkey, and just a realllly happy/fun/eventful break.

Just Somethin' to think about...

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

I really liked this quote. I often find myself thinking about how much I can't wait to get out of Highschool, when 5 years ago I couldn't wait to get here. Funny how things change!

ENJOY THE MOMENT... EVERY SINGLE MOMENT.

xxo. Peace & Love.

10 random things about me.

Welp, I was tagged, 10 random things about myself

1. When i was in 6th grade, I ran for president. For my speech, Kelci helped me write a rap, and I won. And I still remember that rap. "Hey school, listen to me, Im runnin for the president of ASB, I am an honest person, I'm caring too, I want to help and work for you. So vote for Loriel and count on me, to give this school a winning per-son-al-i-ty" :)

2. I played Barbies until I was like 12. and Im not ashamed. I used to make my Barbies kiss, and I thought it was really bad, so when my mom walked in, I would change the dolls positions and act all innocent.

3. I had my Binky until I was 4, and also lost my first tooth that year. And got braces on my two front teeth when I was 5. My teeth were really screwed up as a kid.

4. I got sent home from preschool one day, because this girl in my preschool caught me kissing a boy under a table, and told on me. I was mad at the girl who told on me until 7th grade, and now, we're really good friends.

5. I have never read the Twilight books.

6. I was on the front page of the newspaper at a Sonics game, I was a huge fan. My dads company used to have really good seats. I went to tons of games (like, over 10) and I got on the big screen every time except for once. woo!

7. My mom and Dad are some of my best friends. They know everything about me, They were the first ones I told when I got my first kiss. They're amazing parents.

8. One of my favorite foods is asparagus, oven baked asparagus. Sooo good, with that seasoning.. mmm! And I hate celery, canned green beans, and olives, and sometimes salad. But thats pretty much it, I'll eat anything.

9. I don't get nervous in front of people easily at all. Especially singing, I love it. I was the weird kid who would volunteer to give talks in Primary. And I don't get embarrassed easily at all.

10. I was in a singing competition in my Freshman year, called Kent Idol. There were 11 people competing, and I was the youngest. I ended up getting 2nd place, and it was an awesome experience.

I tag Kelci, Abbie, and Jackie :)

Homecoming 08'

Well, It was my first Homecoming, and I had a blast! I loved my hair! Lisa Petersen did it:) and me and my mom got pedicures! Me and my date Justin, and 4 other couples went to Bahama Breeze by Southcenter. It was sooo good! The dance was fun, and so was the group, but in the end, we were very tired, here's some pictures!

Me and my friend Marisa! (& Lucy) :)

HERE'S LUCY!!

The new member of our family...

LUCY!! Sometimes she's a little stinker, but she is full of spunk, and melts our hearts when she wants to snuggle. She's a 2.1 lb ball of fur, who enjoys stealing toys from our other dog tater, and sucking up to my mom and dad. She has recently started using her puppy pads, oh joy!

She's a Pappi Poo, 1/2 papillon 1/2 poodle. She's allergy free, and doesn't shed.

We Love her! She's like... 8 inches long, and so fun!

Come over and play with her! She loves little kids too :)

xxo.

so I've had this blog for about... 3.42632 hours, and i have no friends. (totally didn't calculate that, dont worry) Sad day huh... So basically im blogging to nobody... who does that.... But apparently Little Miss Baumgartner is gonna stalk me. Sweet! one friend. AND! AND.... Sis. Perk is gonna befriend me as well :) how exciting. Sister Perkins is so rad. I mean, how cool is she.... the sweetest girl I've ever met, and she has a totally cool husband for my seminary teacher.

Love ya Perk! and TB!

And.... i feel extremely blessed to have my sister alive. She got in a bad accident this morning, rolled her car at 7o mph, but walked away with a bruised thumb. Her car is destroyed, and crushed, except for where she was sitting. Let's just say the seat belt wan't the only thing that saved her life. It's a miracle she's alive, and she was being watched over. So glad she's okay, I love my sister sooooo much.

goodnight,
xxo.

This cool blog thing.. ?

Well, I decided to get one of these blog things. Maybe you're trippin out, because im just little, but I have my reasons. Don't you fret...

1) I think the YW should be getting to know the "Relief Society, older young women" more, NOT that any of those who are reading are old, at all, but you're older then the YW... ya know? I think the YW should get a blog, in order to communicate and get to know the other sisters better... And, don't you want to know whats going on in the crazy HS world? It's sort of exciting, if you ask me. pahhh....

2) Another reason, is because the other day, I needed some advice. Friends, and family are always good, but sometimes, other people have better opinions as well. You've been there, done that, and you know whats up. Also, alot of you are exactly who Im striving to be, worthy women who are moms to adorable little kids. That's what I want someday, and I think communicating via. blog can somewhat help.. maybe?

[I don't really know what Im getting at here, and who knows if Im even doing this right.. It's a bit different then Myspace, or facebook, but, we'll see :)]

3) Maybe Im just trying to be an example to my mom.. haha! I keep telling her that she needs to get a blog, but she thinks she's too old. I say, that all ages should blog, so, here I am, representing the younger folks... ha.

4) So, one day my mom showed me someones blog, and then from there i found all these people I recognized in my ward... and saw pictures of everyones cute kids, and funny stories, and i thought it was adorable. You guys are pretty darn interesting... Ive learned alot.. Like pranks from Tammy. It's good to know that I don't have to grow up too fast ;) I also learned that I really need to step up my game, because my TP record is 46 rolls, yikes! And, I learned about somethin called thankful thursday. It's almost officialy a day now at Kentwood, Im workin on it :) And alot of my family in utah has a blog, so i decided to try it out. woooo.

Peace & Love. xxo
