Lucky

I feel so very extremely lucky to have friends like Beth and Landon who are so incredibly talented.

Around the Utah State Fair time - Meg, Elise, Beth, Landon and I went to the fair together. Beth and Landon brought their fancy camera and were able to take some pretty awesome videos of all of us together doing ridiculous things around the fair grounds! 

so without any further adieu: 

Fielding Films LLC - Fair Video

While you're on their website be sure to check out the rest of their videos, they are nothing short of amazing, I promise you that! 

So thank you Beth and Landon! You two really are so amazing and giving. 

Spooky Scary

I don't know about anyone else, but I am ridiculously excited for halloween. I hope everyone is getting into the halloween spirit and eating lots of candy corn, decorating their houses, planning their costumes, going to haunted houses and getting ready for a great weekend!!!

tell me this isn't the best childhood memory of halloween books and i call you a liar. 

So everyone get their school work done, study hard and get ready for halloween! 

Grateful

I'm Grateful For:

a Best Friend. 

you dont find many people in this lifetime that are always on the same page as you. i happened to have found one of those people and somehow we always seem to be thinking and wanting to do the same things. 

not a whole lot of people can stand to lay out and tan from 12pm-4 but she can, and wants to! 

she is always willing to help me do my make up and curl my hair and genuinely wants me to look good! i grew up with girls who would pull the "oh my gosh! you look great!!" even if i looked like crap. 

she isnt afraid to tell me what looks better, or that i'm being a brat. 

she has the best advice and isn't afraid to share it. 

she looks out for me and will drop anything if i need her. 

i'm so grateful i have found a friend like her that is an example to me and that i can look up to and trust telling anything to. 

she is hysterically funny and has a heart of gold. 

You can call me T-Sweezy, now I'm a rap star

Taylor Swift is in T-2 days. I'm pretty sure we bought these tickets literally a year ago and I can't believe the day is finally (almost) here!!
There will be an astronomical amount of pictures to come I'm sure.

Recently I've been pretty into running, which is weird because I hate running. But I hear it's good for you or something....crazy talk. Also rumor has it, it can get you a body like this.

I wouldn't be mad. 

And as we are already planning Spring Break '12 (hopefully to CANCUN) I need to start working so I can look like Hope Solo.

so.... I guess my motto for the next few 6 months is going to be 

Oh Life...

This past wednesday my Grandma McNeil (mom's mom) passed away. It did not come as a shock, she was really sick but nonetheless it was a sad day. 

My cousin Kerri and I drove out to California that next morning for her funeral. We hadn't seen each other in years but its amazing how in twelve hours you can rekindle a friendship. It was also really fun to see how we had the same sense of humor and just were able to get along so well. She drove the whole way there (and back) she's a saint. She claims it was because she had spent countless hours on a bus when she was at the Jerusalem Center in Israel this past summer but maybe she read my blog on all my car troubles. Whoops. 

Friday came and it was Grandma's viewing and Saturday morning was her funeral. Jordan and his wife and three boys were able to come from Washington and Jeremy flew in from North Dakota. This was the first time all of us siblings had been together in 7-8 years! I loved every second of it. It was so great being all together. You know my grandma was a big deal when she can bring the Weber kids to the same town. Not only was I able to hang out with my two awesome brothers but hanging out with all of my cousins was too much fun. I think everyone had fun (even the grownups, yep i still consider myself a kid), I heard rumors of a family reunion in the works. 

Jordan (he kept reminding everyone he was a really big deal as he walked around in his military dress uniform), Me, Jeremy

                                           My grandparents on their wedding day

It was really fun being able to be with some of my cousins and hang out, we went to a movie and ate lots of In-N-Out and El Pollo Loco. We reminisced with my Grandpa about the good times we had with Grandma and how they impacted our childhoods. My Grandma was one of the greatest people I know and one of the greatest examples. She lived a great life with an even better family. She had written a letter about her life that was read at her funeral . In it she wrote that she every night as she lay down to go to bed she would as her self "Have I done any good in the world today?"This has stuck with me ever since that day. Even at her death she was able to be an example to me. She is and will be missed by all who knew her, but she is in a better place now and reunited with her mom, dad and siblings. So, until we meet again...RIP Grandma, you are amazing. 

Sorry I'm not Sorry

Well it has been a while, I find that I am not as witty as I want to be anymore when it comes to writing these blog posts. But I'll give it the 'ole college try. 

So, summer has come and gone (too fast) with summer school sucking the fun out of it...okay, okay I might be exaggerating a little. I still had a TON of fun, but it might have been a tad more fun with out summer school in the mix. 

As soon as summer school ended, I went to NY to visit my friends for 8 days. Vicki played host to me for the week and it was as if I never left! We did our usual activities (when she wasn't being an adult and at work)

-manis/pedis (paws and claws, as Vicki calls it)

- watched and obscene amount of TV shows (Teen wolf, PLL etc)

- ate too much...pff, can never eat too much good food

- make red velvet cup cakes

- saw Glee 3D (despite Vicki crying about wearing the "not cool" 3D glasses) 

- went to the movies again and saw crazy, stupid love

-went shopping way too much

and many other activities. You might be thinking, "did she spend all of her time with Vicki?" well no I did not, even though we probably could have! Much time, but not enough was spent with all of the friends I wanted to see. It was crazy how much I had missed them.

But, I hate to admit it...I did miss Utah a little bit. 

So I came home and did this. Not shocked. 

he can do no wrong
