About Me

I graduated from BYU in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology and I am working as an SLPL at a school district. I enjoy it and it keeps me SUPER busy. I also teach spin classes at LA Fitness. I refuse to ever pay for a gym membership. I live with 2 awesome girls: Erika and Christina. I love Diet Dr. Pepper, ritz crackers, bunny tracks ice cream, shopping, cooking, sleeping, reading, and working out. I have the 4 cutest nephews in the world: Kaden, Jack, Nixon and Bentley and 1 adorable niece: Alena. This is my simple yet really awesome life!

Planning...for Someday

Obviously I am not close to getting married currently
but a girl can always dream...right?

RIGHT.

So I always keep my eyes open for things

cause you never know....

BAM!


THIS IS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY
WHAT I WANT...

I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT ALL THE LACE
BUT I THINK IT COULD GROW ON ME...

YEP PRETTY SURE.
