I’m a hiker...

... or at least I was born into a hiking family. Three years ago we started hiking ALL the time. My parents would sit on their computer and look for “fun” new hikes our family could enjoy. They even bought a hiking book..... need I say more? You may ask, what started this new hiking obsession? I have absolutely NO idea. I for one, don’t like to hike... at all. But, to make my parents happy, I pretend to enjoy hiking. Aren’t I a good child? :)

A few weeks ago we hiked Bell Canyon. At the end there is a BEAUTIFUL waterfall! If I could get to the waterfall without hiking I would be all for it. But, we had to hike about 2 1/2 miles to the waterfall. Every time we go on a hike I think: “how in the world did people find these places?!”. I still don’t know the answer.

Even though hiking isn’t my favorite thing to do, I’m still grateful for a family who enjoys spending time together. There are many memories I have from hiking with my family and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Class of 2013

I did it! I graduated from High School!! I'm so thankful for the many friends I was blessed with and for the lessons I've learned. I had a great few years at American Fork High and I'm looking forward to the next few at BYU-Idaho. 

I'm thankful for the past four years I've had as a member of the American Fork High School Marching Band. Those four years were the best four years of my life and I'll never forget any of them!

I'm so happy I was able to be part of Seminary and part of the Seminary Council my Senior Year. Seminary has changed my life and I'm thankful for all of the teachers that sacrificed their time to teach and help me feel the spirit.

This Summer I'm staffing at Westlake High School with their Marching Band and I'm absolutely LOVING it! I love every second I'm there and I love the kids. Watching them progress and get better is so rewarding. I'm excited to see how great we'll be by the end of the season! I'm also currently an intern at Masterpiece Dental and am looking for a part time Dental Assisting job before I go to Idaho in January.

Senior Pictures! Isn't my mom amazing? I'm absolutely in love with all of these pictures! It's hard to choose a favorite. I'm so thankful she was willing to take these pictures. I had so much fun going out with her. Thanks mom!! I'm excited to see you get even more amazing at taking pictures than you already are!

Seminary Graduation! I was asked to speak at our Graduation, and even though I was pretty nervous, I think I did a pretty good job.

{I was able to play with the Orchestra at our Graduation. We played my FAVORITE song-Come Thou Fount, with the choir, which I had a solo in.

I'm pretty sure I have the greatest friends in the entire world. They totally didn't have to come to Graduation but they did :). We had a fun time eating breakfast at Kayla's and playing "he said she said". Then we went to lunch at Zupa's before heading to the Marriott center. Friday night they all came over for a sleepover.
