♥ finally!

so on july 1st i FINALLY got to be with jacob!

it was so much fun, it was a short weekend but it was much needed

and i wouldnt change any of it!

i drove up to jacksonville after work and wasnt able to be with jake til almost 11 that night

we met at the movie and it was perfect!

no awkwardness whatso ever :)

we saw transformers 3 and then went and got food at ihop

when we got to our hotel we both passed out and woke up to the crazy housekeeping lady!

after we finally woke up and got ready we went and had lunch and was going to go to the zoo..

but it was totally sketch, and not a zoo!

so we went and saw bad teacher, then took jakes roommate to the airport

sadly i could only stay for a day so i had to come home

but it was seriously amazing!

he is perfect.. and were pretty cute together if i say so myself :)

ya im a pretty lucky girl :D

the little things in life

sooo..... myrtle beach is AWESOME!

but i miss home like crazy, and i miss california. crazy i know :)

i hate going to new places and making friends, when all i really need and want are the people i know i can always count on, 3000 miles away :(

i miss these people MORE than anything

my mom and dad

road trip!

so on april 14th I had my last class at CIA until august!!

me and tina went to sacramento and picked up my mom

then next morning we all had to say our goodbyes :(

then my mom and I hit the road and headed for UTAH!!!!

we drove all day and got home at 1:30 friday night/saturday morning

woke up to my dad playing music and cooking breakfast, got to see baylee and got to have my dad delicious enchiladas with my family!

i miss home but i also love that i have been able to live in three states in a year, and that i was able to get out of sanpete and live my dreams and that i have the support of my friends and family to stand behind me and support me in everything!

on sunday morning we got up and my mom and I hit the road again and drove all day to new mexico.

over the next three days we drove through texas, oklahoma, arkansas, alabama, georgia and finally made it to south carolina!

and luckily we got through the trip inbetween the floods, rain, and tornados!

so now im here til august, soaking up the sun and trying to catch onto life on the east coast!

but i miss the west coast A LOT! and i cant wait to go home and then get back to california and finish school!!

my future home!
