update

oh boy i have once again failed at staying on top of this blog of mine

so be ready for lots of random bits&pieces of life

1. new place

thats right i have moved out. 

and i love it.

it all happened so fast and kinda random but i couldn't be happier

i now live in legacy village

my awesome roomies are: mckenzi (jenzu), taylor, tonya, teniele, kaylee(murl)

its so nice to live with roommates who are fun and not always locked away in their rooms.

i can't wait till i have all the boxes unpacked

decorations on the wall

and finally make it my little home

(pictures will come when i get it setup)

2.brinley turned 1

my baby isn't a baby anymore

sniff sniff

last week was brinleys first birthday

and i can't even believe it

the way brinley came into our lives was a bit.. unexpected

but i knew from the moment i saw her picture she was an Allison

she has forever changed&blessed our lives

love you brinner.

first picture of brinely

love this little girl

i guess you can say we are little bit obsessed

3. i won!

okay i dont ever win anything.

and i mean anything

but a couple days ago i was reading one of my favorite blogs:

http://cleverlyours.blogspot.com/

and saw a giveaway.

so i figured why not.

and what do you know.

i won!! 

i am now the owner (as soon as it comes)

of a super cute cheerfully charmed orange adorned bib necklace

4. this isn't an update but more of thoughts/questions

okay, i dont even know if people read this, and if they do, i dont know if they care

but whoever is out there i need some help

my hair is in need of some serious tlc

i wake up to my hair looking&feeling like straw

when i brush it i feel like im going to go bald

i just want some healthy hair that will start to grow

what is a good:

 shampoo/conditioner

leave in conditioner

or just good hair products?

next:

spray tans.

yay or nah?

i am already loosing my tan

the joys of an office job.

i want some color back 

but without the damage of the tanning bed.

once again any suggestions?

anyone had one?

eyelashes&eyebrows.

anyone in logan know of a great place to get 

fake eyelashes

or 

eyebrows waxed?
i don't want to get the fake lashes that look well fake.

i want the more natural look

and my eyebrows.

okay i am super picky about them

my sister always did them

untill about a year ago

i then went to my friend who was in beauty school

but now i dont know where to go

any good salons? 

sorry this is so long

and super random. 

hope everyone is having a good week

&

happy halloween

quote me

double posting for today

i love quotes.

i just love finding words that i can relate to

lame. little bit. do i care. not one bit

i wanted to share a few of my favorites lately.

hopefully you can find some inspiration in them

life isn't always going to be easy.

everyone knows that.

but its going through the hard stuff that makes us appreciate the good

i had a wonderful talk last night with my dad

and he made me realize that this is my life

and i need to start living it for me

no one else.

back to reality

i'm back

arizona was a nice little break

much needed. much enjoyed.

my step-moms parents live about 30 mins away from any town 

so there was lots of driving back and forth

but we got the party planned (main reason why we went)

got some bonding time in

and of course made some time for fun

plus it was nice to get to know Jack&Lynda a little bit better

now its back to work

back to the gym

back to normal life

This is the awesome buggy that i was able to go in with my Gramps

that sign didn't stop us. it was so fun to go walk in these old mines

this was spooky. in the middle of no where there is this.
there is a hotel, saloon, salon, store and nothing else.
we aren't to sure what its for or why its there
but it was cool to look at

happy birthday tayten

if you follow me on instagram

or are friends on facebook 

then you know that yesterday was my nephews birthday

my little baby is now 5.

(insert cry moment here)

tayten is such a big part of my life & always will be

i love that i can watch him grow up and become a little boy

 even thought i miss him being my baby

since he was a baby we have always been connected at the hip

he was there for all of my dances, went to all the football/basketball games to watch me cheer,

always there when i cry to told my hand and say i love you aunt

i will surly miss my baby but can't wait to watch him become a little man

aunt sure does love you tay

rant&thought

well at least for me it is.

horray!

can i just say that knowing i only had to work 3 days this week made it go 3x slower.

anyways i am so looking forward to a mini little trip.

and i do mean mini.

we are leaving tomorrow at 3 am. i am planning on not going to bed tonight that way i can sleep in the car

its about a 12 hr car ride so we are hoping to be there by 3! crossing our fingers.

next: Rant

why do people only blog for the "fame"?

i understand that people do this all for their own reasons

me i do it for friends&family that dont live here

(most of my family is in illinois so its a nice way to keep them in the loop)

and i also do it for myself. 

i am horrible at keeping a journal.

i have tried over and over again to write in it, and it fails. without a doubt.

but when i read a blog and all it is is a way for them to get noticed or in a way show off

it makes me crazy! 

there are a few blogs that i just love

(buttons on the side) 

and you can tell they are in it for the right reasons

but to the people who do it for attention.

just stop.

next: Thought

family.

if you know me at all then you know the crazy Allison family

no joke we should probably have our own tv reality show with the way we are

but lately we haven't had the best of luck

in fact i would say worst luck ever.

my dad keeps saying "im not so sure i want to be an allison"

and its so true 

but this is when i am truly grateful for our heavenly father.

i know that he still loves me&my family.

and that these are just trials

i'll admit that sometimes i find myself on my knees asking why is this happening

why can't we just catch a break.

and every time i remember a saying posted in my moms house

"if god brings you to it, he'll bring you through it"

and as silly as this may sound. 

it helps.

so just remember that next time you feel as thought your against a wall,

or can't catch a break.

that you aren't alone. 

someone is always there, always cares, and always loves you. 

what makes a monday not horrible...

knowing that you only have to work for 3 days. horray! 

this makes a monday almost bearable..almost

it still is monday.

mondays still are no fun.

but i am looking forward to a little mini trip.

we are planning a surprise 50th anniversary for my step-grandparents.

50...that is defiantly something worth celebrating 

so we are going down this week to figure it all out and kinda get a feel for what we need.

not to mention do some detective work and get pictures and info without them knowing.

anyways.

this weekend was super laid back.

everyone in awhile you need to just do nothing.

friday i was feeling super emotional and just wanted to be with my dad.

weird i know.

so i was his sidekick for the night. 

we watched the usu vs byu game (still upset about it)

ate junk food and sat around in pjs

saturday i went in to my sisters to help her with a yard sale.

to my surprise she decided to cancel it....thanks jen for the heads up

i headed home with the nephew who i decided to steal for awhile

we played baseball, rode bikes, i watched some of conference (the rest has been recorded)

welcomed fall with getting some pumkins 

and just spend a good day with the little man.

lets hope this next few days go by fast so i can go enjoy the 90 degree weather!

sorry for the language.. just fit so perfect

wednesday wishes

i did this awhile ago and as i was sitting here thinking about what to blog about i remember this..

great idea right.

wednesday wishes 

Leather Pants- great fall piece

adorable right? these would go with everything

how cute is he?? the look of a husky but the smallness of a little dog

Boots-another great fall piece

iPhone picture cube-great idea to get your picture out of your phone



wouldn't it be great if you wished these things and proof here they are! ha  ha
i guess for right now they will just have to stay on the wish list

thoughts

today is such a slow day at work.

and there is only so many times you can check facebook, instagram, twitter

which means lots of time to sit and think.

this is good and bad.

 i miss college. i miss school. weird right? who misses this. well i do.

i took 2 semesters off and then also this fall. but i have decided to go back spring semester.

education is something no one can take away from you so why not get it.

i have no idea what i am going to go into but i have 2 years of generals to get done and find out what i want to do.

good.

i wish i would have moved down to provo. 

don't get me wrong i love how logan is safe, and my family is here

but at the same time i wish i was away and had to learn life on my own.

it would force me out of my comfort zone which is a good thing.

good&bad

friends. i have learned that friends come and go. 

for me most of my friends are married and the other ones have different interests

which leaves kady with little to no friends.

which really sucks.

i miss having girls nights, going out and meeting new people, inside jokes, all of it 

bad

i need to get back into church..

i was baptized 11/10 and it was the best decision of my life

now i just need to start going back to church and learning more

good

basically its time to let the past be the past and get done what i want to do.

wish me luck

fall in love.

fall is finally here

switch the flip flops for boots

shorts for pants

tank tops for layers

and i love it all.

fall is defiantly my favorite season hands down

watching the colors change. drinking hot coco. cuddling under blankets. football.

whats there not to love right?

here are a few of my favorite fall fashion pieces right now.
