KELLY!

me and kelly have been friends forever.
yesterday was her birthday. so... here's my SHRINE to kelly kelly kelly!

she graduated thursday dec 18. can i just say i am the proudest best friend! she worked so hard and never took any time off. i love her. and she took hard classes, ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, ugh!!! congrats best friend.

kelly's the best. she is hilarious. kind. honest. friendly. genuine. funny. SMART. quick whitted. best laugh. always up for a good meal. lets me call and vent about whatever. sees my way of EVERYTHING. loves my family. i love hers.she is at any big event of me or my family's. she texts-calls-sees me whenever she can.

she is always up to do anything:
go to europe with me.
get an INSANE hard personal trainer with me.
hike grand canyon rim to rim with me.
eat a whole costa vida salad... after, go to marble slab... after, go to paradise bakery. all within 30 minutes with me.
will go to vegas and teach me how to gamble.
run with me in high school, watch me trip.... and.. not help me get up ... but laugh at me.
taught me skills in the game of ping pong.
she will pull any type of prank with me. oranges, suran wrap, lemonade, munchkin doughnuts.
we stole 15 bales of hay. and she drove a 4 seater saturn. we had to take about 7 trips to "borrow" that much hay.
our favorite food is sub sandwhiches. we made a list of all the sub shops around town. one summer- hit all of them, and ranked them to our likeness.
was my maid of honor.
she thinks aaron is funny. and i like that.

me and kelly in vegas seeing mama mia. she loves musicals.
so i love kelly.
we see people everywhere we go. and no matter what --they always say... you STILL are friends? above: seeing friends at the colleseum in ROME ITALY. what????

us in new york city seeing hairspray!! (which, another reason i love kelly--- in NYC, i go out to lunch with my family, i leave her with katharine and glen. i come back from lunch. in an hour and a half they got: hot dogs, pizza and cupcakes. she left the cup cakes with the most frosting for me..... true love...)

after europe we spent the night at the new york airport.we were bums and kept getting shifted to different places in the airport. kel can sleep anywhere. and she snores. i hate snoring. but i love her so much that doesn't stop our sleepovers.

she has been with me through thick and thin.
she is one of my most favoritest people in the world. everytime i am with her, it puts me in a happy mood because kelly is a happy person.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY GRADUATION, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS BEST FRIEND.

need a good laugh?????

"i would starve that baby until it gets skinny"
-aaron.


i hope i get a baby like this.
the end. bye.
oh yeah, and we are NOT baby hungry.

2 down 4 to go.

2 finals down. 4 to go. case paper to write. talk to write. clean house. make time for family things. do laundry. study.
oh how i wish i was vacationing in new york right now.
anyone with me? kate? aud?

oh my

this is the best post ever.well katies birthday was a while ago. but, my life has been silly since so why not celebrate it now.
reasons i love my tate:
she is up for random with me. random workouts comes to mind. at weird times and weird locations. running.... doing charity walks.. lunges in the back yard.
she has the best movie collection ever.
she loves to spend money. a interest we both share.
sometimes she makes silly blonde comments. but she is being serious. and i act annoyed which sometimes i am.. but i secretly love those comments.
she is always up for a road trip. and road trips are the best with her. the best music. and we sing.
-we left a message on her phone, (yes i guess she called herself as we were driving..) and we were signing wicked. and belted. that messaged was a testament why askins don't sing.
she cried when i went through the temple.
she cried when i got married.
and she went to the store with me to help me get ready for the temple, and that meant a lot. she always looks out for her bainy. i feel protected when i am with her.
when i wanted to do dental hygiene and thought about NAU she took a road trip with me up there. i won't forget it cuz i was scared and intimidated out of my mind.
-she is a good filler. let me explain. sometimes me and aud get around a lot of people and we don't know how to act. what to say.... what not to say.. so having kate there is like a security blanket. cuz she always knows what to say... and say and... say and say....
katie is the best big sister. ( well of the THREE i have now.... she is tied for one of the best out of 3...) and i love her. she is a little mom (she had 2 little sisters and a baby brother...she took care of us) and is such an example.
everyone needs a tater in ther life. I LOVE YOU 30 YR OLD BIG SISSY!!!!


well, life is going! much much to update about... way much..
so.... i guess i will give all that jazz a go--- someother time!
until then...

i know i know

so apparently blogging is like solving a rubiks cube for me. i can't figure out how to put my words on TOP of my first picture nor can i put the pictures in order. seriously its like a rubiks cube. same result. give up. stopped trying. here they are. i know the wedding was yesterday. get over it. i don't have a life and i am waiting up for A to get home from work. ok, so above, this is for amy. so we had sparklers and me and aud used them to act like we were sacrament choristers. tribute to amy. and funny. more funny how we always try to do a goofy face.. and... i ALWAYS do because i love it and she smiles. so i end up looking like i'm on crack.

kel made an appearance which was great. and i love her so much. i never want her to leave me.

dang it. i totally forgot to switch it. oh, well do a neck exercise and check out how me and aud signed the book. we are funny. and we know it.

the bride with the lovely couple.

she had a photo booth. way to be mature mom and dad... way to be mature....

i love it! how perfect are they for each other! they even eat like they are in love.

love of my life. 4 months! and still in love. (yes... that is what EVERYONE asked us. "oh ya made it 4 months....wow, and you're still in love?" .... kinda awkward statement. i finally just said. "yeah, i guess")
but i love this boy. 4 months and counting sucka's

and i love this boy. so much me and aud thought we should find him a wife.

and we did amy dawn hall riter.

lydia and drew were giving me as many hugs as i wanted that day. so i demanded them. and i demanded them a lot. so one time i asked lydia to pose after the hug. i think all my hugs wore her out.

amy and her girls. where's aud? sneakly hiding behind amy's tiny birdcage veil. how did you manage that aud.


so who would have thought that me and miss mindy had they same ring. same AWESOME ring.


daniel came down for the event and we were thrilled to see him!!!

the lovely love birds. oh they are so cute.
i have realized standing next to bonnie obrien makes me look pasty white.

aud and matty in the trolley on the way to the temple.

very good day. i cried, i laughed i raised my hands up in the air smiling thinking... i did this.
it feels good. oddly unsettling ... but good.

the messer-- becomes the messeeeee

katie HATES me borrowing clothes. i don't do it anymore. i don't live a room away anymore.
but i used to borrow them. and i didn't ask.
if there is one thing you NEVER do in your life it is.... borrow clothes from katie without asking. i don't know how but she always finds out. you hide them in your room, for some reason she searches your room and finds it, you hang it up differently she notices.... blah.how does she bloody do that?
well, that is a cute little number she has on huh.
totally mine.
well, i was giving it away and she wanted it. i always feel like a million bucks when katie wants something of mine and i always want to be a brat and be like... well you didn't return it last time, or i had to go searching for it, but i never do because the little sister comes out and is thrilled that I have something SHE wants.
so... even though she didn't "take this without asking"
she still wanted something of mine...
and..
i feel like a million bucks.
and on that note i am going to go upstairs and ask her if i can borrow a movie to take home and watch... i have been given that privilege because i returned the last movie i borrowed.
she is harsher than blockbuster, hollywood video and netflix.
this posts for you tater.

and a cherry on top

holy cow this picture is huge of us with minimum clothing. we were burnt out with school and thought a little hot tubbin would help. and it did.


so every now and then aaron likes to get his frustration out. so... the boys have a fight night and we go and aaron destroys them. it's like my proud wife moment (if i can even watch) i think it is silly, but he loves it. and my heart totally kills when he is done and has stupid carpet burns on his forehead and knees.

this girl gets married in one week!!! (well almost) and i am so excited i can hardly stand it. i believe me and aud set this up. yeah, we know, go matchmaker us. im excited that i have two of my favorite people getting married. they are the best together.

so me and aaron feel its our duty to attend every charitable event possible. we have big hearts. so we decided to volunteer at the MS walk. we had my fellow student-ette julie join us in on the fun. it was an early morning. and some people (like people who love ghostbusters???? [how that applies to MS i'll never know] and the star wars club.. yes... you are right i said club. there is a club for the lame movie) got into character to make the walk.

me and aaron loving MS. i mean, not loving it, but loving to volunteer for MS.


you know those certain little tasks that you have to do but you find ANYTHING in the house to do other than that little task.
= me right now.
i studied enough. decided to head to the target (shell, i did not see you there) got a cute ring.
look for it at the HALL/RITER wedding coming soon.

ok, i guess i'll get back to studying enamel. ughhhh.
don't get me wrong i love school i do. i'm lucky.
but a blog post break is def what i needed.

see ya in the funny papers.

obama

can i just say i am so happy election day... election... electioning... electoral college... blah is over.
i am SO done with it. and why is this underlined...
that above picture is our double date last saturday.
good thing ian has an awesome girlfriend who i could talk to.
and good thing a great football game was going on.


i got together with brooke and baby on saturday. i want my mom to have another. baby that is, not brooke.
we go from her house to my parents, so they could get in on the cuteness of this baby, on the way guess what! a lemonade sale! that is our childhood! but they are totally upgrading from lemonade to APPLE CIDER! we had to support.

i'm biased. this is the cutest baby i have ever seen. look, she is even partly winking at the camera.

she wouldn't stop staring at me. awe. i chubby-ed her all day.
hope all is good in the world out there. don't really know what's going on, i just know i still have a neighbor that pounds on the wall when i talk, put dishes away, move, basically when i am conscious. sorry edna. you know what, NO i am NOT sorry.
peace.

hello folks

hello. here are some pictures. from our world of studying.


EVERY morning when i leave the house... every morning... THIS is staring at me. and i am kinda superstitious. this cat doesn't leave when i run like an idiot toward it, when i clap my hands real big at it, or even when my car almost runs it over. i think its casting spells on us.

we volunteered at the buddy walk on saturday. and we loved it.

it was so much fun. we think we will make it an annual event for our new little dahl family.

yeah, so we totally met the cast for HSM3. lies. we didn't! fooled you. but we ended up being the pathetic 20-something-year-olds taking pictures with the card board cast cut outs.

this picture makes me laugh.
we are all adults in my family.
right?
so my mom still loves to take the role in giving us orders, as if we don't know to wear our seat belts, or pull over when we're tired, or call her when we get to nanies, or giving us other directions as we are pulling out of the driveway.
i had to get a shot.
because i love her.
