How I Spent My Summer

Hi friends, it's been a bit. As you know my summer was WAY to short, as it was only two weeks long! Truly unbelievable.... For one week of these two my family and I went to Florida. Let me just say this, Florida in the summer is unreal! It is around 95-100 degrees + a ton of humidity + no shade = my trip to what I can only imagine hell feels like. BUT the silver lining of this trip was we spent our time in Universal Studios, and Walt Disney World!

Universal Studios was only good for Harry Potter World, which was so AMAZING! Now let's be honest my dad is the true Harry Potter fan in the family, but going to this land made me kind of geek out as a HP fan. Yes I said it, I love HP!!! And I have sweet Hufflepuff pride! Anywho here are a bunch a photos from our week in Florida so enjoy!

Summer Can Now Begin

As of an hour ago I finished my last Summer School class. You have no idea how happy I am! I feel like I can finally breath and just soak up the rest of summer, which if you were wondering is about 2 weeks). For one of those weeks I am going to be in Orlando with my family, super excited about that, and then the other I am going to pack it full of friends, out door options- like a drive in movie, swimming, tennis, ect. (maybe even a small hike.. I dont know I could just be experiencing summer school fever, but it sounds kind of fun right now. Dont hold me to it!)

Over all Im just going to live it up!

Things I am obsessed with

So I went to California for two weeks with the family. It was such a fun trip as per usual we shopped, we ate, we pooled, we watched movies together, we slept! Exactly what I was dying for, just a break from school. On this trip my parents discovered Lululemon. Lets get something straight except my dad, no one works out. But that didn't stop us from buying one of everything in the store. I am obsessed with Lululemon, its a tad bit unhealthy. So from now on if all you see me in is spandex, the answer is no, I did not just come, or am going to go workout. It's just so freaking cute, confortable, and I look super sporty in it, that I can't stop from wearing it all day long!

Now Im back home for a week and working my butt of to finnish my two online classes, and then Im leaving for a week vacation with the family to Florida. We are going to HARRY POTTER WORLD AND DISNEY WORLD! Could life get any better I ask you. (if you are wondering the answer is no)

Now while I have been "schooling"I have taken a ton a breaks, shocker I know. I went and saw Crazy Stupid Love.... Easily in my top 5. If you haven't seen it, GO..... Right Now! It's that good.

Also I am obsessed with these two videos right now-

Remind me By Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood

Best thing I never had- Beyonce

-Thank me later

And last, during my blog stalking I came across these two things and felt like they needed to be shared.

I was laughing so hard when I read this chart. Words to live by haha

Alright so I am obsessed with more things but this is all you get for now. Love you all-E

Jumping out of a plane willingly.... Um... Yeah, Sound Good- Normal!

So last Saturday Meg, Katelyn, Ky, and I went SKYDIVING! Yes you read that correctly SKYDIVING. If you know me at all, this doesn't seem like something I would actually follow through with. I have always said that I wanted to go, but never thought I actually would. But it was truly such a fun, amazing, once in a life time experience!

We decided to go to Skydiving Ogden because that is the highest point in Utah that you can skydive from, which is 12,000 FEET! Um.. heads up thats a long distance... just saying! Oh well Go big or Go home! So we go there 15 minutes before our appointment time and starting filling out paper work. It was like signing my life away, but really I had to write out that I knew this could end in serious injury and or death. OH ok, that sounds fine- singing .. done. We went and turned it in all got the photo and video package, duh so needed!

We ended up waiting for TWO HOURS. during this time we tried to keep ourselves busy, and keep my mind from changing. Finally they yelled out our names to come and get suited up and meet the people that we were going to jump with. My guy Tommy was super crazy, but I guess you have to be for this to be your job. He was loud and fun and got my mond off what I was about to do. My video and photo man was Nick and he was just the same. They were the best hands down, so fun and amazing at there job.

We all jumped into the plane and started going up... there was no turning back. Oddly enough I was calm and super excited! Then the time came, katleyn was the first to go, then Ky, Meg and then me. Of course I would be last, typical. It was actually fun to see everyone jump. Then I was up, we were a the edge of the plane and I just closed my eyes and we jumped. Honestly it was incredible! You don't get that roller coaster dropping feeling, its just like floating. The video is hysterical. When we jump out of the plane it looks like I am fainting or going to throw up, and on the way down I'm doing the rock on sign and waving ect. I tried making a heart, but it didn't really work out haha. I loved every minute of this adventure. Tommy and I did turns and all sorts of things while we were free falling. Then he pulled the shoot and just slowly came down to the ground. We landed and I was on such an adrenaline high I wanted to go again!!! At the end of my video its me yelling about how amazing it was and how "bomb" I was!

So this experience was truly amazing and I loved every moment of it. I think everyone should go at least once in there lives. Now here is an overload of photos- enjoy!
