Chicago part2

The second half of the amazing vacation was spent with my family! It wassooooooo nice to spend time with my Grandma! She is turning 90 this year! I have always been her closest grandchild, she use to spend 4 months of the year in arizona with us!She is the women who taught me how to pray- talk about a big influence! She unfortunately has dementia now, but she still has her same personality and we can still talk, she is the sweetest grandma I know Im so lucky to have had her influence in my life! I wish we lived closer to her!

When I think about Graduation..

This quote Comes to mind by Francis Chan.. I put it on one of my Colorado Pictures.

Something is wrong when..

4 MORE DAYS

YAY FOR FINAL WEEK!? What does this mean you ask!? Well this is my last full week before I will be In Illinois!!!!!!! This week = torture school week, 3 midterms and a paper.. buttt I have so much to look forward to at the end it is giving me motivation & concentration!!! SO CLOSE!

Took this sunrise picture last week, and decided to make a wonderful caption depicting my dear friends from Illinois. 

BABY

So Marks Cousin had a baby about a month ago.. Friday we got to meet him for the first time(they live in Denver). I was not super excited to see it- I dont have any sort of attachment to babies like I know many people do. My best friends are going to be working with babies.. BUT little did I know this baby would be pretty darn cute. His face just never stopped making the most adorable expressions! He looked like he could be made into an animated character from wooville(the Grinch movie). Mrs.Thompson is a BABY LOVER ! She works in the nursery at church and just ADORES babies. It was funny she also met him for the first time and she barely even said hello to her niece(the babies mom) she just sat down and the baby was plopped into her arms. She then was clearly in her "element."

Notice anything similar? BEARDS! The baby is going to be a lumberjack for Halloween :)

Sedona Pictures

Water was SO COLD! I went in once he went in multiple times! Hes crazy!
