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.

the only thing you can be certain of...

change. no matter what life is always going to do what it wants, which means change. here are some new changes that life recently gave me!

-i had to move back home. my contract was up for the summer and honestly i couldn't have been more excited. weird right? what 20 year old is excited about moving home. well when i moved out i had this whole idea in my mind as to what it would be like. in reality.. most of it didnt happen. i lost one of my best friends for reasons im not very sure about. living with random roommates, kinda awkward. money. yeah that stuff doesnt grow on trees. ;) i've been home for a few days and its been great. im super close with my parents so its nice to be back with them and able to do my own thing. im hoping to move out again soon and give it a new try

-i got a new job! hooray! i am now the office manager at ScyTek Laboratories. i am so nervous and excited. i am the only female in the whole company so this should be interesting. after not having a job all summer i guess its time to be an adult again and start making a living.

-new look. i am going to start going for a new look. from my hair to my toes. thanks to my obsession with pintrest it makes it a bit easier to get ideas. (post coming about this)

-last. i am hoping to change the way life is for me. be more positive. more outgoing. stop hiding behind my shyness and be outgoing. i am pretty excited about it. cross your fingers for me! lets hope this is the start of something new (yes i know that is a line of a disney movie but hey it fit :) )
