Today Travis, Kami, Joshua, Annie, and I took a trip to the Houston Zoo. It was a perfect day, weather wise. All the animals were out, and we had a wonderful time. We couldn't have asked for more! These Jelly Fish were beautiful, so naturally I was entranced by their graceful movement, and snapped a few shots.

School started yesterday. Senior year!! My A day consists of: (1) AP Art (2) Foods one (3) Teacher aid (4) Ceramics two. My B day consists of: (1) Seminary (2) Astronomy (3) Sculpture (4) Government and citizenship. In other words, this will be a fun, laid back year. Above is a picture of homework for foods class. It is actually an arrangement for a formal dinning setting with art objects. I think it looks pretty cool just as a random picture. haha! Well, here it goes, one more year of high school... wish me luck!

Trav and I have been on the road constantly for the past few days. It's been so much fun, but so exhausting as well. We've been from Vidor, to Houston, back to Santa Fe, to Clear Lake, back to Houston, etc. I love hanging out with my favorite uncle ever.

Today was basically a perfect day. Let me break it down for yeee, I slept in until 10 *angels singing* Then I got up and said happy anniversary to my mama and papa. 21 years! woot woot! (They went to park city until tomorrow after about 11:30 or so.) So I was home alone until Wade came back from the temple with Krista, Merrie, and Evan. We watched Disney's Pocahontas and The Rescuers. I also worked on my art work. (I have to get 10 projects done before school starts on wednesday.) I got two projects done, thank goodness! So now I only have 4 or 5 more left to do, so some stress was removed from my shoulders today. After that everyone went down stairs and played Mario Kart!!! It's my favorite game ever. After that, Michael Hess came over in his kilt and we all watched some pretty hilarious youtube videos. Then Wade went to take Merrie home while Evan, Michael, Krista and I stayed and laughed at more videos. When Wade got back the three guys left to Michael's end of summer man party while Krista and I stayed home and played on photo booth. We made some pretty embarrassing videos and took some priceless pictures. It was overall a great day.

Kendra. She's the sweetest little girl in the world. Not to mention one of the most brilliant little 4 year olds I've ever met. Today was my first full day in Texas, I already know it's the greatest decision I've ever made. Donny and Natalie are soo generous, so laid-back, and so caring. This is one superb family, and I cannot wait to get all settled in. Life is good, Texas is grand, and Kendra and Jasper are just too adorable. I love it here, everything about it. I'm finally home.

Chocolate milk is one of those things just makes you just plain happy. It's so simple yet so wonderful at the same time. I guess the simple things in life are the best things in life. Like this morning, I finally got to sleep in. Having Toby is great, but he wakes up so early I've been needing more concealer than usual. But today it was just wonderful to wake up after 9:00 instead of before 7:20. And another simple thing was watching Disney's Cinderella today. I haven't seen that movie in so long I forgot how much I loved it, and it brought back so many great memories. And to top it off we had a great evening with the Harris' and Fackrell's. There was so much love and happiness in the Fackrell's home, it just fills you up from head to toe. The little things really are the best things in life. Today was a chocolate milk day, so simple yet so wonderful.

This is my favorite place in Eau Claire. I went there for the last time tonight before I leave on Tuesday. It's the most beautiful fountain, smack dab in the center of the quaint Wilson Park. Casey and I took one of our infamous bike rides, stopped at the fountain, and went swimming in it! It was a blast. This past week I've realized more than ever, that the simpler something is, the more special it turns out to be. Such as our night rides through the town...We bike all of the time. It's our main source for transportation! Never did I think I would be sentimental about biking around..but, I've realized it's one of my favorite past times. So many funny stories have come out of a spur of the moment bike ride. It's small adventures such as these I'll keep locked away in my memory for a lifetime. I am so lucky to have the life I do. I am so grateful for all the loving people I have supporting me through thick and thin. I love you all, plain and simple.
