2 Dozenth!!

Well yesterday was my 24th birthday....ahhhhh i'm getting so old!!! Dan's dad texted me saying "happy 2 dozenth" and i thought it was funny so i stole it from him and used it as my post title haha! anyway, i had a really fun day! I had to work...blah...but it wasn't that bad cuz i like my job. When i got home Dan made me open presents and he TOTALLY spoiled me :D He got me a $50 gift card from "Toms Shoes" (the most comfy shoes EVER i love them) so i can buy a new pair of shoes so i am so stoked! He also got me a bikini top for my jeep for the summer when i have my hard top off!!!! I have been wanting to get one for awhile before summer so i was sooo excited!! And he purchased me a magazine prescription for a magazine i always buy and have been meaning to get a prescription for. I love him so much! he gave me the perfect gifts!
After that we met up with Krista, Phil, Ashlie and Brandyn and ate at Blue Plate Diner which is delicious and then went bowling at "Fat Cats". It was a really fun birthday spent with really awesome friends :D (sorry i have no pics i am bad at remembering to take pics and bring my camera places with me haha)

Day Thirty!!!

A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past

I made it to day 30 yaaaay!!! Anyway I don't have a pic of me from TODAY...but i'll post the most recent pic of me and it's from St George from the beginning of this month. I don't have any of myself so it's of me and Dan :D So three good things that have happened....

1. meeting Dan is most definitely the BEST thing that's ever happened to me :D I am so happy!!

2. Getting a job with IHC. I love my job and i'm so excited that they're gonna pay for my schooling

Something you could never get tired of doing.

Day Twenty Seven

A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?

Welp. I have changed a lot since last year. I'm no longer a snowboard/lake powell bum. It kinda saddens me because i had SO much fun! but at the same time it's kinda nice to be settled down a bit and finally figuring out my life. I'm gonna go back to school this summer which i am dreading btw, just for the two pre-reqs i have to take. But once I get into the radiology program i will be excited! I can't wait to be a radiology technician and i love working at the hospital right now! I really like my job and it's so nice to have PTO for once in my life. haha! so yeah, lots of changes. but all for the good!

Day Twenty Six

A photo of somewhere you’ve been to

LAKE POWELLLL!!! i love this place!!! i spent four summers working at Lake Powell and it's definitely gonna be soooo weird not being there this summer. This is at Alstrom Point. A sweet overlook of a couple of the bays at Lake Powell. I absolutely loved this lookout and we went there constantly!! 

Day Twenty Five

What’s in your purse?

Well, I HATE carrying around purses so i very rarely do. actually in winter i never do because i have jacket pockets to put everything in. In fact, I brought my purse with me to a comedy show the other night and left it there cuz i'm so not used to carrying purses around! luckily i realized just as we pulled out so we turned around and i got it lol. Anyway, when i have one it just has my money in it, usually my ipod and some pens. 

Day Twenty Four

A photo of something that means a lot to you.

This is the last picture that was taken of me with nanny. I miss her so much and i really wish she woulda met Dan. I know they woulda loved each other.

A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

Dear Gracie, 

It really hurt me when  you jumped on my head while i was sleeping. Also, when you ate my entire pizza before i got any, not cool. I was hungry, and i had already fed you!! Please don't do that again! 

Thanks,

Heather

Day Twenty One

A photo of something that makes you happy

Dan makes me happier than i could ever imagine! I am so lucky to have found such a patient, caring, funny, amazing guy who loves me too!! I love him more than i thought was possible. This is a pic from last summer when we went to Massachusetts to see his family. He surprised me with a Red Sox game. I seriously had no idea that he was planning on it and it was such a blast! I can't wait to go back to massachusetts this august to see his family. and he's gonna give me a huge tour of New England! I can't wait :D

Day Twenty

The meaning behind your blog name

um well....i think it's pretty self explanatory...lol!! actually when i first made this blog it was while i was traveling around doing seasonal work. so i made it to keep ppl up to date. buuut my life was so excited that i never wrote on my blog so that didn't really work. but i still have adventures, so yeah. 

Day Nineteen

Another picture of yourself

Since it's St. Paddy's Day i thought i'd put up a pic of me from St. Paddy's Day last year. I know i look super goofy...but what do you expect. Actually, this picture was taken for Bill. After Nanny died, he gave me that hat that had been hers and the glove/guinness blow up thing which was also hers. I still have them and they mean a lot to me! Oh how i miss her :( I'm sure she is somewhere laughing her face off at all my sillyness!! Anyway, I hope you all had a fun day for those of you who celebrated. I went to work, and then dance. No festivities for me today. I didn't even wear green!! oops!!

Something you crave a lot

something i am always craving is pizza. it's so sad i know. but i just loooove pizza so much! it's like the only food that is good for leftovers too lol!!! 

Day Seventeen

A photo of you and your family

I love my family so much!!! They are always there for me no matter what and i seriously have been so lucky with having such understanding and patient parents! I wouldn't trade my family for the world :D I love this pic because we are actually all in it!! we were all present! no one was photoshopped in! this doesn't happen very often. annnnd it's usually mine or hayley's fault haha!!

Something you don’t leave the house without.

I never leave the house without my phone. and if I accidentally do i feel so weird and lost. sad i know. but it's true!!! i love my little phone :D 

Day Fourteen

A TV show you’re currently addicted to

I am currently addicted to two TV shows. Grey's Anatomy and Alias. Lol!! I love them and could sit and watch them all day if i had the time! It actually isn't too hard to get me addicted to a TV show....guess that means i'm lazy???

Day Thirteen

Your favorite musician and why?

There's no way I can choose just one so here's a few. Foster the People, Passion Pit, The Killers, Kid Cudi, Band of Horses, Eminem, Snow Patrol, Atmosphere, etc. I pretty much like everything except country. (sorry all you country lovers) Not a huge fan of the screaming music either!! 

Day Twelve

A photograph of the town you live in

I live in South Jordan!! Dont really know what building is outlined in yellow but oh well

Day Eleven

What’s in your makeup bag?

I don't wear makeup that much just when i go to work and that's just a little bit of eyeliner, some eyeshadow and mascara. soo yeah, that's about all i've got in my bag!!!

Day Ten

A photo of your favorite place to eat.

I love to eat....everything. So it's too hard to pick just one place to call my favorite. So I am putting up a few of my favorites!!!

I love Texas Roadhouse mmmmm!!! Steak so yummy!! And their bread is sooo good too!!

Blue Plate Diner is this really good place in Sugarhouse off of 2100 s. and i think about 2000 east. Not exactly sure, anyway it has really good everything. haha!! sandwiches, breakfast, burgers, entrees, and really good shakes!!! If you haven't been there i would suggest you try it! 

And who doesn't like the good ol Cheesecake Factory!! Everytime I have been here I have tried something new (because there menu only has like 50 pages to it) and it has all been so good!! definitely a good place to go especially if you have a lot of people who can't decide on one type of food to eat...cuz they have it all! Also, if you save room you can have delicious cheesecake for dessert :D 

I tried to find a pic of "India House" in Sandy, cuz it's delicious, but all the search engine was giving me was houses, in India. Not quite the same. I'm sure if i looked harder I coulda found one buut i'm too lazy. Anyway, I would suggest you all to try out these yummy places of eating. 

Day Nine

A photo of the item you last purchased

I don't know what the last item i purchased was. Prob gas or somethin boring like that. Sooooo I'm gonna put up the last big item i purchased and that would be my jeep wrangler!! I love it!! i got it on dec 31st and have loved it since i got it. it's a 2001 jeep wrangler and i got it with only 56,000 miles on it. And I got a pretty sweet deal since Dan was my salesman :D Anyway, i'd been wanting to get a wrangler forever and i finally got one!! Now i just can't wait until the summer to take the top off it!

Day Eight

A song to match your mood.

I know i've posted this song already before. But i just love it. And it matches my mood because i am just in a very chill mood and this is just a very chill song. :D

Day Seven

Your dream wedding

I'm sure most of you know that I am not a very formal person. Therefore, my dream wedding is not a super formal one. My dream wedding would be to get married on the beach and then have a bbq afterwards. Simple. Fun. Happiness :D

Day Six

A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.

I love love LOVE snow leopards and think they are soooo pretty. so. if i could, i would keep one as a pet :D

Day Five

A photo of yourself from high school

Ok so i don't have many pictures from highschool because i didn't have a digital camera yet buuut i found my senior picture and an awesome picture of me doing a c-jump that was from highschool and i think it's pretty cool. if only i could still do it like that haha!!! i may be in a dance class now but i can honestly say i haven't tried that out again yet, and am not sure if i really want to!!

Anyway, it's hard to believe i have been graduated for almost 6 years. eep! time flies by fast! i feel so old now :( my baby sister is almost done with her first year of college!! it's insane! I am also glad to not be in highschool anymore. When you're in highschool you feel like that is your whole world. well, once you graduate you realize there is soooo much more to the world than silly highschool drama!! I loved highschool but i have loved every moment after highschool even more :D

Day Four

Your favorite photograph of your best friend

This is my best friend Krista and her cute cute family!!! We met in our junior year and pretty much hit it off right away (well after she introduced herself to me on many occasions lol) Anyway, she means so much to me and has always been there for me when i needed her. I feel like i can talk to her about ANYTHING. We pretty much talk every day and if we go a day without talking to each other it just feels weird. 
Krista has the cutest kids and is such a good mom!! I love her so much and am very excited that we are taking dance class together :D 

Day Three

Your idea of the perfect first date.


My idea of a perfect first date would be to go snowboarding together (only if you both know how to snowboard, otherwise the person teaching would get very annoyed) It's a ton of fun and you have "getting to know each other" time while you're riding the chairlifts. I've had many bonding times with people while riding chairlifts. seriously. haha! (every chairlift averages to be at least 5 minutes) After snowboarding you could go out for a few drinks and food. Sounds like a lot of fun to me :D
