Bella

Warning: You might think this is very cheesy, which it probably is but it is what it is. I remember driving in my parents car to go see a car that I might be able to get. When I saw the car sitting in the driveway I jumped out of the car and ran to it running all around it. I was so excited. It was a maroon honda civic. I never imagined me liking a car that was maroon but this car was perfect! We took it for a test drive and when we got back my dad told the owner of it that we were going to buy it. I was SO excited!!! It was Friday night and we couldn't get into the bank to get the money out until Monday. That weekend seemed like FOREVER to me. All I wanted was my car that I had been hoping for for a very long time. Monday came I was very excited. I was in a CNA class at the time and I had clinicals Monday nights. My parents picked me up from the hospital and I was eager to ask about my car. They told me that they weren't able to get it that day and I would have to wait another day. I was disappointed, I just wanted my car. Sitting in the back seat next to me was a paper that had information on a '99 Honda Civic... I was curious so I asked and my parents and they said that it was a paper the guy had given them the Friday before. Me being naive and trusting whatever my parents said I believed them. Kellie and her family were living at our house at the time and when we got home she was in the kitchen making something. I was hungry so I was looking for some food when Kellie went into the garage. I could see something in there. It had shinny stuff on it. I saw MY car!!! I ran out there and was so excited. My car was in the garage with a ton of bows all over it. I jumped in and wanted to go for a drive. I still had my nasty scrubs on but didn't care. Of course I went for a drive and took anyone that wanted to go on a ride. I had no idea what this car would mean to me.

Bella got me through high school and took me to college. I went on some fun road trips, concerts, everyday drives and just driving for the heck of it. My car is where I would go when I needed to get away and just think. Yes, I have been wanting a new car but I didn't want to lose my car this way.

I was on my way to the dentist last Wednesday in Gunnison when I went around a corner and my tire got to close to the edge of the road. I got scared and over-correct. That caused my back tires to go into the gravel and my car slammed into a telephone pole and spun around ending up in the middle of the road facing the opposite direction. I had no clue what had just happened. I tried putting my car in drive and moving but it wouldn't go. I could see cars from both ways coming at me. Luckily these two men pulled over and pushed me to the side of the road. When I got out of the car I had no clue of what had just taken place. I walked around trying to calm down and not shake so much. After a while I went and looked at my car and that's when I just realized what had happened. My back window was shattered along with the back passenger side. The back passenger door was smooshed in. I didn't know what to do. My parents were in Idaho fishing and didn't have service. I tried calling Thomas first and he didn't answer. I called Julie. no answer. Tyrel was at work and was in training so he had his phone but wasn't using it. I called him and no answer. I text him. I called Annie, no answer. I called Whit and after a long time and lots of rings she ANSWERED!! She said she would be on her way. So thankful. Next thing I know Tyrel is calling me and says he's on his way. I called Kevin so he could get a hold of Julie. I got a call from her telling her what had happened when I see Tyrels truck flying around the corner passing cars. All I could think is that he was going to cause another wreck. I had been crying on and off this whole time. I had finally stopped and when I saw him I couldn't hold it in anymore. I talked to the police and got everything figured out. Thomas and Kenzie drove down to be there and help get my car on the trailer. I cried again when we got to the shop and I saw my car. I keep forgetting it happened and hate when I'm reminded. I think that I have heard, "Cars are replaceable but you're not" and "I'm just glad that you're okay" like 72 times. That's not how I've been feeling. I am okay. I'm fine. But my car's not and it's MY fault. I did this. That's all I could think whenever I saw my car. I am grateful for being safe and that I was wearing my seat belt and that no one else was with me. But what happened is not okay.

I am grateful for my friends and family helping me and being there for me. My parents were very understandable which helped me a lot. I know I might be dumb but I miss my car and would just rather have Bella back.

I had that heart on my mirror pretty much the whole time I had my car. I got a new car:) After stocking KSL for a while and my parents test driving cars for a few days we finally found one. It's a silver civic. It's newer and is a way cute color. I love it. I named her lulu.

The heart is now in my new car:)

Love day

Valentines Day was amazing! I am so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend:) I couldn't have asked for a better day.
I came home from class to find this in my room

My bed was full of fun stuff! I had a gigantic bear, pillow pet(that I had been wanting forever), chocolates, Lady and the Tramp movie(that I had also wanted to get), flowers, balloons, and a great card:)

I guess Tyrel and I had the same idea cause I decorated his room as well and left him a card and also a deck of cards that had 52 things that I loved about him

I also gave him the first movie that we saw together and a picture frame with some pictures of us

Later that night we drove up to Provo and ate at Tucanos. The food was so amazing, we are going back for sure! By the end of dinner we were both stuffed!

It was the best Valentines day:)

Right before dinner my parents met us and gave us some cupcakes from them and other Valentines from my nieces and nephews

Matt and Jackson visit!

I have been going to Snow for almost three years now, yes that's a long time to be spent here but that's not the point:), they have been wanting to visit since my first year so I decided it was about time they took a trip down here!

The first night we just went up the mountain and had some fun

I wanted them to have fun doing all the random stuff that we normally do so we went on a Denny's run and then came home and I passed out! The boys started to watch a movie and I don't think they finished it.
On Friday we went shooting and had lots of fun! We each shot one of Tyrel's guns that was very powerful and I almost hit myself in the face with it!

We also took them hot tubing and of course to snow creams!! I'm so glad that they came and visited me:)
