I pretend to know what I am doing when it comes to taking and editing pictures.

These first pictures are ones I took on our honeymoon. We were driving to St. George, Utah and the views were too pretty to pass up. 

 The next four were taken in St. George. It was so fun to visit cute little stores and Church History sites!

This was in Thomas Judd's Store Co. It was so cute in there and they have yummy soups!

This is on the property of a Scout Master there in St. George. You can see it from the Jacob Hamblin Home and we were told that the Scout Master has his meetings in there sometimes! So cool!

This is was a HUGE tomato! I was so excited when I saw it, I have no clue why. But now it's a cool picture!

 These last pictures are from this past weekend. We went to a church formal and had so much fun! Then we walked around downtown Mesa and I took some fun pictures of Ethan!

Pictures.

Can I just say I am so thankful for the technology to take pictures?! I love looking back at old photos and remember those good times. 

I came to a realization today... How many people can say that when they look back on old photos that they are looking at pictures of a bad night? Maybe the night turned out bad or they bring back bad memories. BUT at that moment, that exact moment the picture was taken, you (or the people in it) were having fun and enjoying life. 

I just love that about pictures. They can help you remember moments in your life you would never want to forget. They can help you remember people you never want to let go of. They help you remember the good times, and sometimes they make you remember bad times as well. But either way they help you learn and grow. 

With all that said here are some of my favorite memories!

This is from my 4th year of girls camp. I love these girls so much! We may not talk much anymore but they are always in my thoughts and prayers.

 These are memories I made with friends in high school. Our memories still have never stopped being made.

This boy has been an amazing friend to me over the last few years. I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished and is still accomplishing.

Sometimes there are friends that come into your life that may never leave it. I hope that's how these friends feel

This girl will never leave my side. Even if physically she is not there. I know I can just pick up my phone and she'll be waiting on the other end.

Top: Beth and I. Christmas night 2011. One I will never forget.
Bottom: New Years Eve. That bonfire was so cool. I love these kids.

Long Boarding crew! Although.. I may never long board again, we had some great times.

Going to random dances with these guys has been pretty amazing this past year. I can't wait to have more awesome adventures!

 And last, but not least, the night I won Ethan's heart back. Yes, I said back. It's a long story that I am sure I will write all about one day. But as for right now I will tell you a little about that night. 

I MADE Ethan take me to this dance because he "forgot" about a date we had planned. I dressed up, did my hair and got my make-up done by a good friend. I knew he wouldn't be able to resist my good looks ;)

AND guess what?! He couldn't! He picked me up after work, we went to dinner (which I was NOT expecting), then moved on to the dance. Where we danced our little hearts away and I swept him off of his feet. That night when he dropped me off we talked for hours and he gave me a huge, long hug. I really wanted to look up and just kiss him, but I knew he wasn't ready for that yet. 

He later admitted that, I had won his heart back that night and the rest is history! I will never forget the fun we had!

There are so many pictures I could have posted because I have so many great memories with so many great people. But these are the few I have really been thinking about lately. I wouldn't trade anything for these memories. I will truly cherish them forever.
