Sweet Dreams Puppy

In loving memory of the best dog we've ever had. You'll always be a loving part of our family and share a special place in our hearts.

Such a wonderful dog. Always willing to play. Never willing to pose for pictures. He was just a people dog. Never wanting to go outside unless you were going with him. Always wanting to snuggle on the bed or go for a car ride.

He always liked to run when he was out in the open. His free, inner spirit came out and he'd run and run and run. You could hardly get him to sit still. 

I remember hanging out in my room, alone a lot. Buddy, however, was more than happy to keep me company, always jumping up on my bed and just laying there, hanging out. Good times, just me and him.

Thank you so much, Buddy, for being in our lives. We had a lot of laughs. We had a lot of good times. And now it's time to let you go. It's time to say goodbye. Have a wonderful Journey. See you on the other side.
Buddy - 8.29

So far, so good

Week one is over and done with. Surprisingly, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Day one and two were the worst. I didn't cry my first night but ended up burning into tears at church and going home early because I couldn't stop myself. However, ever since then things have been great. My roommates are amazing. Alyson shares my room, however, Kayla is my friend from Lacrosse and she also does art. Callie is just a sweet heart.
The art classes here are phenomenal, however, I think I will have to adapt to all of the other /regular/ classes.
So far, loving it! Nothing beats getting away and discovering yourself. Pushing yourself to limits you never thought you could cross. That has been my entire experience so far. I hope all my friends are having as great a time at college as I am.
Sorry, no pictures. I'll try and round up my roomies and take some soon.
Thanks so much for checking in on me.
So far so good! :)

First day!!

First day at Snow College. Thank goodness it's just a "get in and settled". Kind of day. I even have time to post a few pictures of my room on my blog. WHATTT?!?!
So far so good. Almost cried when the fam left, but that's just because mom started crying.
Any ways. Every one feel free to text or call me. I get free hours if your phone is T-mobile. If not, than don't call me until after 9 or on weekends. Savvy?

Here's some awesome before and after pics.

Before! Everything is a mess however we've got mostly everything set up.

And after! Lovely! <3

It's that time...

Dear friends,
Yes. It's here.
I'm MOVING! Somehow the prospect hasn't frightened me, yet--I have solid hopeful expectations.
So, I say farewell to all of you. Farewell house, that I have lived in my entire life. Farewell wonderful room. Farewell friends and family. Farewell Cache valley. You will all be missed.
So! With any luck I'll be able to keep a pretty entertaining log of my college experiences, so.... keep in touch. :)

Commission Pieces

  Lately I've had a lot of commission requests from my family and I've got most of them done. This is a fun picture of what my work place (on my bed) basically looks like every time I work. A glorious slice of life and my favorite place in the world(accept the temple). =)

 This is the second commission piece I've got finished. Mom kinda hinted at me over the course of time that she would like a light house on the empty wall of the bathroom. Not exactly the most ideal place for my art work to hang, but hey, every one will have a very nice view...

Kylie REALLY loved the dragon on Spirited Away and asked if I would draw him for her. How could I refuse? He only took a day. Enjoy it sweetie. <3

I'm open for more requests until I leave for Snow. Let me know soon!

The New Blog

Dear friend and family who have been fortunate to come across my new blog,
I absolutely fell in love with Katie's blog and all of the fun things she posted on there. In anticipation of my leave to Snow, I decided to start my own blog page to keep every one I love up-to-date with my college life--because I know you all will miss me SO much.
With any luck I'll be able to figure everything out and get as good a response on my blog as Katie has on hers. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
