Chicago trip part I

Finally the post you have all been waiting for

I sincerely apologize for the beyond delayed timing

>we are still waiting on internet in our apartment<

so I’m writing this from Ryan’s couch

Being able to go home for two weeks was beyond amazing

I am so thankful for my family and friends

I have one of the best support groups in the entire world … and I am SO thankful

The two weeks that I spent at home was pretty much the best part of my summer

There is just something about that place

Not matter what … it always just makes me feel amazing

Filling me with comfort and happiness

Walking out of the air port through those sliding doors, the humidity hit me like wave

After spending 6 months in the dessert with nothing but dry heat, the moister that fit my face and filled my lungs felt heavenly

Unfortunately, I had to turn down my opportunity to go to the last day of lola

{for free}

But I only had two weeks and I wanted to spend as much time with family as I could

I think in total I ate probably 5 pounds of deep dish pizza and Chinese food.

I enjoyed every ounce of it

Laying by the pool with my beautiful mommy and just having girl time

The thing I miss the most is just being in her presence

She makes me strive to be so much better, achieve and move forward, keep pushing and never give up

She is one of the strongest most beautiful women in the entire world

There is something about a mothers smile, touch, kiss, and smell that seems to make everything disappear

I also learned who my true friends are.

This was a bit of a hard lesson to learn … but I’m glad I did

I may not have a ton of friends, but I know that the ones that I do have will always have my back no matter what

and for that I am for ever thankful

{super sorry about this next part}

Stay turned for a picture reel of my trip

Love Always <3

update from the SUU library

Well my friends my beautiful summer is of

{however it twas an amazing one}

I had the most spectacular time going home for those two weeks

Words can't describe that amazing feelings and warmth that, that place brings me

I spent a lot of time with my mom and dad 

and I got to hang out with almost all of my friends

I also found out that some of my friends actually read this thing! 

SURPRISE! 

I was very excited to hear that :))

Knowing now that I have readers I wanted to let you know what was going on

I got back to Utah safely

though I almost got stranded in Huston, Texas and then

would have had so spend a night in the Las Vegas air port.

not cool I know

Praise the Lord everything worked out though

My new apartment looks great

{though still no internet}

Thus why this has zero pictures and I am doing it from the school Library

Shoot.

I have to go to class 

my classes are beyond hard and my next one is just frustrating.

i will explain later

Hope you all are having a great first week back!!!

Stay tuned for real posts later!!

Love Always <3
