Yay for FHE!!!

This last monday, my family and I went to see the "world famous" harlem globetrotters. I think I've been to see them once before and I must admit, they were pretty cool. Since I understand backetball pretty well, it was enjoyable to know what was going on in between all the tricks. It was basically a complete act, but there were some pretty cool things that happened.



Out seats were pretty good. We were up in the highest bowl, but like dead center so we could so really well.



Have I said how much I love this lady? She is awesome. Recent experiences have helped me realize how lucky I am to have the family I have. My mom is my best friend right now and I'm so grateful for all she does for me. Also, I'm glad that she takes me shopping (like in Park City on monday :))



Amy and I were trying to take a cute pictue, but Jon felt a little left out I guess.... There is a lot of love in this picture.

Ah, that's better. Now, eveyone says we look alike, but I can't see it.... can you?

Of course I have to throw in a fun picture of Sami. She is such a little diva.



OH!!! So, I've been in my beginning Broadcast Reporting class for 5 weeks now and I've finally made my first appearance on TV. So you need to go to this link and click on the day of February 11. I'm in the first like 10 minutes of the show... so ya! Enjoy.... and remember... i'm still a student, so be easy on me.



Oh and in case you needed a laugh today, he's the one I got from Jon recently. Happy Valentine's Day!!!

We've found lane 7

Yesterday, my YSA ward went up to Midway and enjoyed a lovely evening at Soldier Hollow. We went sledding and for those of you who haven't been there... you are MISSING OUT! It's is absolutely genius what they have done. There is a tow rope that pulls you up half a mountain on your tube and then you get up and walk up to the lane you want, and TA-DA - you're ready to go down. I took Sadie, a friend from high school and we tore up the lanes. Actually, we literally did. There are only 6 lanes that are plowed, but we were in a chain of 4 people and actually went off the side of the lane and into all this powder and non-plowed-packed-down snow. It was so funny! But... i guess you had to be there. Anyways, enjoy the pics!! P.S. This is Bro. Welch. I've already said how much I like him, but this picture only solidifies that fact.

So here is a really funny video. This is Sadie and I enjoying our ride down one of the slides. Turn sound on... it makes it ten times better. :)

Bethie, Git Yer Gun

I LOVE my cousin. Jake Funk is just awesome. We both have our "significant other" in some place OTHER than Utah and so we kinda date each other I guess... That sounds bad, but it's innocent I promise. 2 weeks ago we went on a hot date to the movie "Paul Blart - Mall Cop" and then just this last week, he invited me to go shooting with him and Matt and Uncle Ron. They are all a LOT better than I, but I felt pretty tough with that gun in my hands :) Here are some pictures of our exciting time. P.S. Liz comes out this next weekend so I guess I'm on my own for valentines day.... I'll probably just go to a loser party. Those are always fun.

Are those.... butterflies?

I don't get nervous very often. Speaking, performing, testing.... they just don't affect me very much. And it's been that way for me for a long time. I'm the same about getting embarrassed... just doesn't happen to me much. This is why I was so suprised when I had basically had an anxiety attack the other night. Now, it wasn't like full-blown and I was just sitting in my room by myself. So what was making me so nervous? um..... you're never going to guess...... but I was getting nervous about Hudson coming home.


It all started Wednesday night when I was e-mailing with him. It was like midnight and I was trying to kill time while he responded. I was doing the usual: checking blogs, facebook stalking, and watching "House." While facebooking, I came across several sites related to girls with missionaries. I was playing around and reading some of thier stories. It's actually really funny because I'm "old" concidered to all of the girls. I mean.... I only have 5 months left. (P.S. the picture is is of my link chain that is pinned to my wall.... only about 150 days)


I was reading stats and only 1 in 7 girls actually WAIT for their missionaries. Of those that wait, 1 in 10 end up marrying their missionary. Now, I'm absolutely positive that Hudson and I will get married... I'm not doubting that, or my love for him. The thing that makes me nervous it what is going to happen when he gets home.... just the every day things. I want things to be how they used to be, but at the same time I don't. I want to go back to talking about everything, but at the same time I don't want to go back to not having anything to say to each other over dinner. I want to go back to being comfortable enough with each other that we don't have to put on faces, but at the same time I don't want to be so comfortable that we don't dress up for each other or remember the "little" things. I want to go back to SHARING everything with each other, but I don't want to go back to using him for his generousness.


We've both changed a lot in the last 2 years and I'm just a little apprehensive of how it'll all play out. I can't WAIT til he gets home. I just want to get on with this part of my life. But I hope that I'll always remember this feeling right now. I hope I always remember what it's like to be without him and never take it for granted when I'm with him. And most of all, I hope I remember forever how much I love him.
