Miss him

So, I really miss this kid I know I haven't posted much on my blog and most of them are about Elder Hoopes; I can't help it! He is so funny and thoughtful! He writes me of his success and it is helping me grow so much! He sent me these pictures and I just wanted to share them. The top 2 are from an address he found in France that reminded him of me because my Mom's name is Valerie and he knows how special she is to me. I love how toughtful he is we are so cheesy! Even though we are thousands of miles apart we can still have those same dorky vibes! Anyone have any ideas of what to send this Elder for Christmas? Oh and the bottom is him making a heart out of something not sure haven't asked! Miss you Elder Hoopes!

Flashback!

Wow, um I was so little. I actually remember taking this picture and I really didn't want to. Look at my mouth haha. I was a sassy little girl! Oh and Vanessa don't even get me started about the hair it didn't grow and Mom always chopped it off! this dress in color is baby blue btw love it! So fun!

Missin Mom

(Love this movie)




So I just miss my Mom and these are just a few things that remind me of her and that I have been watching. I actually almost bought a Dr. Pepper chapstick today, I really wish I would have! Enjoy!

These are a little late, but the girls and I went to the Jonas brothers/ Demi concert and we had a blast! I know they are weirdies but hey we made it fun and enjoyed ourselves! And yes I know we look so attractive in the first picture. haha Oh and Btw we made out shirts! So fun I hope we do it again soon, but a better concert for sure! Miley Cyrus? Yes I am kidding!

He is officially in Paris!

Elder Hoopes is in Paris France! I am so proud of him. I am sad I don't get to write him till he gets his apartment address which will take about a month and a half, but its ok he sent me his last letter from the Mtc... its my favorite letter so far! Hilarious pictures and a few other cute things! Hand written letters are so much more fun to get then emails. They are so sweet and you know they had to take the time to write it so its more special. Jonathan and I decided even if he can email we will continue to hand write cause its so fun and I love going to the mailbox and finding his letters. He has changed so much already, I love it! I miss my best friend!!! Its hard not being selfish cause I want him here so bad, but in his last letter he wrote its just another test of our faith that we need to rely on our Savior. Yeah he has definitely changed and he will have a huge impact on the people in France! I wish him all the luck in the world!

Leaving on a jet plane.. just messin just movin!

Well My Dad and I will be moving into an apartment this weekend and I am so excited it will be nice to finally get our own space and spend more time together hopefully! If any one feels like helping us move let me know it would be much appreciated! We will have 2 pools/ hot tub, work out center, playground (which I will definitely be using haha jk). Um yeah I am so stoked can't wait to decorate and have my own cute little house!

Cliff Jumping, Watermelon and bees...

So some friends and I decided to go Cliff jumping and I wanted to take pictures, but I would've gotten my camera wet. After all the fun we went back to the truck and had a delicious watermelon and the bees decided to join us. They were everywhere! So we took a piece of it and set it away from the truck so they would go to it and an open pop can... didn't help much. We killed a bunch of them though! Such a fun day oh and these drunk guys just happened to be where we would always go!
