Sissy wa wa

So i thought i would write a little post about this amazing person i know..

Summer Jo Lawson :)



I hope all of you out there get to meet yourself a summer lawson.. I don't even know if she knows how much she means to me.. She has definitely been with me through a lot of stuff. She is what i call a true friend! i am not saying we have the perfect friendship, but it comes pretty close. we both have had our ups and downs and we both are honest and loving with each other. She is a remarkable soul... I was able to go to good ol' Erda with her and spend a couple days with her and the family! I love them, and i hope i will be able to spend more time with them. We went to gymnastics at the U and it was breast cancer awareness, so we were these sweet hats... its because of her that i am a U fan... ha ha Her family is just as amazing as her!!



i was talking with my mom the other day about who i want in my line at my wedding... and i thought i want summer lawson as one of my brides maids! she truly is a sister to me!




I am living up north right now, it puts a little frown on my face when i know i cant be living with her and going next door to her room or knocking on the wall morse code... or the photo lab, or go to orange peel, getting her caffeine fix, big glasses extravaganza, cleaning her car often, coloring profusely funny things, cafe rio, play COD, crying together on the bathroom floor, the movie bowl; we never finished, playing with our boys, stay up and talking, watching her procrastinate but then actually make the project amazing, floating down the virgin river, trips to enterprise, watching her do her hair and makeup and when she does that funny teasing thing to her hair! ha! and many many more things! :)






summer Jo lawson- you better know that i miss you and even though we don't talk often enough. know your the best and wether we are 20 or 83 we better be forever friends!!









so many pictures to choose from our adventures... but only could pick a few... :)

Strength..

I have been through a lot in my life some good some bad, some life changing. Recently i just got back from living in alaska and working for a family company. I moved back down to saint george for about a month, and just realized i needed to be up north till next semester for my health. I have been living with Lymes Disease for 7 Years and never really wanted to worry about it. Because i wanted to focus on being a teen. But because of recent events that have effected my daily living, i have had to seek out doctors again.. I have always known i needed to be careful and make sure i take care of my health, just because i have a lot of health problems. But i never took it serious, because i just wanted to enjoy life.




My doctor recently told me i needed to live like i am a cancer patient who just went through chemo. I have to make sure i don't get sick at all, or even the smallest cold can turn into swine flu, or pneumonia if i don't take care of my self. The thing with Lymes is i have to take each day at a time, some days i can go on a 4 mile run and feel great, other days i feel like a 60 year old woman with arthritis, where the simplest movement can hurt so much and my memory and words are scrambled. It's crazy! But it's MY CRAZY! :) I have learned through the course of my life to stay positive and Strong. Yes, there are days i just want to be grumpy and mad this is how i have to live.. But, why waste time and energy on that emotion when you could be happy and enjoying the smaller, more important things in life. I love to serve others and help others with things they are going through. I know that no matter the trials and tragedies that happen to me in my life... I can handle them, no matter big or small! So why not take the extra time i have in my day, my week to help someone else. Whether its a smile, a helping hand with groceries or volunteering at a corporation. Helping others is what life should be about.

So, i am just focusing on my health and really figuring things out, till i start classes again next semester. :)



I know that is a simple saying "Live, Laugh, Love" but it is so real and true. Their is just so much to live for! So make sure you OUT Live Your Life.
