Fears

Unfortunately I suck at blogging..... so obviously I didn't get my list done before the new year.... or even close....

Well, today's post is about three legitimate fears of mine and how they became fears.


1. I am honestly afraid of the dark. I have no idea how it came about. I always have been. I even make TJ wait until my feet are on the bed before he can turn out the light every night. I am pathetic!!!! I don't know how I'm going to handle it when I have kids!

2. I am scared of being alone. No matter if it's day or night, I will find things that scare the crap out of me just because I'm alone. I will hear noises that make me think people are in my apartment. Taking a shower while I'm alone is creepy. Most the time, I will wait until TJ gets home at like five to shower... once again... I am pathetic. I am convinced that a ghost lives in our apartment with us. I'm serious. Also, I still am afraid of my imaginary friend Harry the bigfoot...... I think that's why I'm afraid of being alone. I made myself afraid. P.S. I believe Big Foot is real. I always wonder if I would be afraid of him if I ran into him....

3. Ghosts. I believe that they are real. I used to tell myself they weren't real... but then I thought, I would rather have an experience and believe them then have an experience and be forced to believe. Really, I believe because my parents have stories about ghosts. And if you know my parents, you know that they are telling the truth. So, of course, I am scared of them. I hate being is scary places. Especially when it's dark. I try not to be afraid of ghosts. Because I also want to believe that they are friendly... just misunderstood...

Well those are my fears... Sorry that it isn't very well written, I'm super obsessed with Pretty Little Liars and HAVE to watch it at all times.

My adorable nephew, Evan George was born!!! 

We had a bonfire at Sams house. 

We had a Toga party and I received some blackmail pictures from my daddio! 

Imagine Dragons!!!!

We all decided to go to an Imagine Dragons Concert one night. Some of us had heard of them before, but most of us hadn't even heard any of their music. The lead singer is LDS and he served his mission here in Omaha! It was really fun to see them. They were really great and now all of us are obssessed with their music. I'm not kidding. We all listen to it all the time. We all follow them on facebook and twitter and everything. We are pathetic. But dudes, you should give them a listen. They are kinda indie, so idk if you like that style. But you should most def. give them a shot. 

 part of our group 

 the last time i will ever have big black marks on my hand at a concert!!! 

 He plays that huge drum next to him. 

 see the drumstick in his hand? 

 our group. with two of the imagine dragons! 

We were extremely close. 

Seriously guys, this was the best concert I've been to.... And I've been to a weezer concert. (for those of you who don't know they are my all time favorite band) They were just so fun to watch! 

Review of the last few months...

Well, since I fail at keeping up at blogging, I thought instead of posting a million new posts, I would just combine them all into just a few posts. We will start with Easter......

TJ hasn't dyed eggs in a long time.... which is sad... cuz I do it every year! haha. WE had lots of fun dying them, even though it doesn't look like it in any of these pictures. 

Our End Product! 

Now moving on to the saddest roadtrip of my life!!! Taking TJ up to school. :( 

 Wyoming is the worst to drive through.. 

 He's so cute when he sleeps..... and when he's awake too. :) 

 I absolutely love the mountains!!!!!! 

 I seriously cannot wait to be closer to the mountains. 

 While we were there we had some fun. We chilled, I went wedding dress shopping, we ate tons of food, and I got to meet some of his amazing family. 

 Here is his adorable niece. It took her all weekend to warm up to me. And sadly when she finally did, it was ten minutes before we left. :( 

 One of my favorite restaurants. Famous for their pie shakes! :) I'm so glad there is one in Rexburg now! 

 We attempted to go visit some waterfalls, but this is as far as we got. Luckily, a random truck came to our rescue to help us out of the snow. It wouldn't be a trip to idaho if we didn't get stuck somewhere! 

 Cameron and Emily were nice enough to cook us a Sunday dinner. After dinner we played UNO and watched a few movies. Obviously I won at UNO. :P 

Before we went back down to Provo, we went to Big Judd's to get a ginormous burger!!!! It was fun! :) I'm glad Rexburg has some fun people, places, and food to visit! I can't wait to move up there!
