Little Things.

Just something I'm trying to work on.

I am going to try and enjoy the journey, especially the 'little things'

when the big things of the moment aren't going according to plan.

COME WHAT MAY & LOVE IT

Baby Life.

I've been spending the past week in Alaska with my cute little niece and I have been

having a blast! I love all of the TINY pink clothes and all the cute hairbows. Sometimes

I feel like I'm dressing up a babydoll, I just wish I could still get away with wearing

ruffles on my butt and jean overall dresses cause they're just so cute and fun! Ailey

is the cutest baby in the world-- no if's, and's, or but's about it. I might just be a little

bit biased but most people would agree when I say that she's definitely a keeper :)

But I have come to the conclusion that babies have THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE.....

Reasons Why Babies Have Such A Beautiful Life:

Babies do not have to make their own food.

Babies do not have to pick out their own outfits.

Babies can sleep all day and people think it's just cute.

Babies can stay in their jammies all day... with no judgment from anyone.

Babies can make the slightest cry & servants run to their side to help.

Babies do not have to put forth effort into anything & yet everyone adores them.

Who wouldn't want this life?....

the list.

I'm a list maker. I make lists for everything and anything. It doesn't matter the occasion
or purpose. There's nothing like taking a highlighter and crossing things off and seeing the
paper light up pink. Those people that joke about having a list of your "lists" just to keep
track of them, that may or may not be me some days. But my lists keep me in line.
Alright, so maybe they don't 100% or ALL OF THE TIME, but it's a good effort I say!

And even though I've been twenty for almost five months now, I made a "To Do" list if
you will to kind of help and 'spice up my life' a bit throughout this upcoming year. So this
is "Twenty Things To Do While I'm 20!" (It's real original... I know)  Have a looksie:

Take a class on something I've never done before.

Go without TV and a computer for one day.

Start and finish a craft or project.

Buy flowers for someone.

Learn a new/different type of dance.

Go stargazing.

Have a movie marathon.

Go to a concert.

Find a hobby and actually do it.

Learn how to make an authentic dish from a foreign country.

Watch a sunrise.

Ride a roller coaster.

Bear my testimony.

Learn a new language (at least 10 phrases).

Finish an entire puzzle.

Get a sick tan.

Have a picnic... a real picnic.

See encouraging words after my test score at the testing center.

Do something adventurous.

Color an entire coloring book.

Some of them have already been crossed off the list, and others are still in the works.
No worries though, I still have seven months.
It'll be fun :)

school is off & countdowns are on.

After a long four months of classes, events, and studying.. winter semester is FINALLY coming to a close. The sunshine and warm weather has visited us a lot lately and to celebrate, my dearest friend Kenzie and I have been going to a park just down the street from our condo to study and relax.

Just a sample of what happens when we get a break from school...

So after eating some Little Caesar's pizza, getting a few sunburns, and

dancing to a few songs, we had an extremely successful day in the park :)

But I'm ready for all of my finals to be over with and for a fun summer to begin:

In less than one week I'll be making my way to Alaska to meet the cutest niece in the whole entire world.

MISS AILEY KAY ANN BARNETT

Two weeks later I will be back in Pennsylvania with my wonderful family.

In a little over a month, I'll be headed back to Disney to work with Mickey again.

And after I have the time of my life there, I'll be coming back to the great city of Provo, Utah to be an EFY counselor for the last stretch of summer.

Yeah... you could definitely say that I'm excited :)
