Memorial Day

Thinking of all my loves who
aren't here today.
My grandparents left incredible
legacies & I hope that one day I can grow
into the type of people they were :)
I can't wait for the amazing
reunion we'll all have after this life.
I miss them so much. 

Grandpa & Grandma Frandsen
 Grandma (not pictured) & Grandpa Andreasen 
My sweet baby girl, Dixie.
Grandpa & Grandma Proctor
Shadow :)


There are more family and many many more pets that
aren't pictured. I can't wait to see you all again.

bye bye

The last day of the season is always bittersweet.
I'm tired & beat from riding by the time April 
comes that even though I'm sad it's ending,
 I'm a little relieved to take a break and
to start looking forward to summer.

Alllll the years I've spent snowboarding I've 
(usually) been able to go ride at least twice a week. 
I love, loveee snowboarding. That made moving to 
CA even harder than it already was just leaving my 
family and friends.. but we're in Utah all the time
 so I just bought a season pass to the Canyons anyways.

Winter wasn't super generous in the snow department
this year so I guess this was a good year to be
living away. HA, basically all the days I got to
ride were sad- lots of ice or slush.
I'm just grateful I got to ride at all though :)

This was my last day on the mountain.
Not a whole lot of snow left..
slushy goodnesss

Ohh and next year I'm going to PCMR. It's always been
my absolute favorite place to ride. Byeeee Canyons!

Raj (Kunal Nayyar) from The Big Bang Theory
came to SLCC last month for a 
speech/discussion with the students.
My wonderful mama got us tickets!
He was great! We were all laughing THE entire time.
After he told everyone his story about how he got
started on the show and errrrything he started taking
questions from the students. That's when it got
reeeeal funny! We had such a good time!
Thanks mother dear :) PS I snuck mr bunny in.

I loveee hiking!
If I could hike everyday I would.

Problem is- 
I don't have a lot of people
to go hiking with in SB.
Zack and I try to go hiking whenever we can,
but usually when he has a day off we surf instead.
which btw, I'm totally okay with :)

Anyways, when in Utah- we hike!

It was Sunday. We were late to church so we were
sitting out on the couches in the foyer. Zack went
outside for a few minutes to get some fresh air and
came back in with the greatest news I'd heard all 
week- it was snowing in the mountains above SB!!

Sitting through all 3 meetings of church was 
brutal. I was so worried that all the snow would 
melt before we could made it up there.
Thankfully, we made it!


I could barely contain my excitement! It was the first
time I got to see snow in CA! Not to mention I was 
super homesick and missing Utah's snow. It was a
"Christmas miracle" hahah kidding.. BUT seriously it
was a huge blessing to me. The week prior to this 
Sunday my dear Dixie passed away. It was the worst 
week I can remember having in a long, long time. 
& this little bit of snow made me so happy. 

 my itty bitty snowman
 ahhh total happiness 
 I cut my hand on a cactus while I 
was making a snowball..
which I also turned out to being 
allergic to ha, of course.
 A view of the snow, the ocean & my love. 
Perfection. 
 Yup, brought some snow back to our freezer.
 The drive to and from Camino Cielo was uhhh-mazing. 
So pretty!
