Day 10 continued.. . .OH. MY. GOODNESS. I went skiing. AND LOVED IT! My other job is at a treatment center with teens that have eating disorders. I've been wanting to get over my fear of skiing for years, so with my "yes man" new years resolution I decided to volunteer as one of the DC staff. Best decision I've ever made! I have made myself sick the past 2 weeks worrying about the trip, and when my alarm went off at 4:30am this morning I was regretting my decision. But oh my word it was a blast! I only fell once! It was a pretty funny fall though. As we were making our way down a trail during the ski class I asked my boss if I could just go straight down the mountain instead of the trail. She told me to go for it. I forgot to turn though. . . So I went "french fry" style down and was going WAY to fast. I heard one of the instructors behind me yelling, "WE LOST ONE!" haha. I knew I didn't have control so I fell down on my side to keep from hurting myself or someone else. . But the funny thing is. . I plugged my nose before I wrecked. haha. Can you tell I grew up water skiing??? hahaha. My boss and the instructor kept asking if I was ok but I kept laughing and saying, "I can't believe I plugged my nose!" So that was my only fall of the day. I learned my lesson to make big turns and had a very successful run on the big girl run. I'm so happy about this! Ryan is such a great skiier so I'm so excited to go together. We are already planning a ski trip together in the next couple weeks. We have also already talked about us going together, eating lunch together while up there, but mostly going on different runs to keep from frustrating eachother. (Me easy runs, him black diamond and what not) haha. YAY for new hobbies! I'm so proud of myself for saying "YES MAN!"

Day 9 – A photo of the item you last purchased.
I bought this old book yesterday at the DI for 2 dollars! I got this idea from the art teacher at my job. You can use it as a journal, scrap book, quote book, whatever you want! I'm keeping notes from loved ones, pictures I've taken, pictures that inspire my photography, and my favorite quotes and random thoughts. I'm so excited about it!

day EIGHT!
Day 8 – A song to match your mood.
Callin Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks.
I LOVE THIS SONG! And have for a long time. It even says my name in it! "hello samantha dear I hope you're feeling fine, it won't be long until I'm with you all the time!" haha. I'm in the mood for summer! Country music is so much more fun to listen to in the Wyoming summer. Right now I miss my family. I miss Wyoming summers with my them. I miss us all being together and jammin together to Garth without a worry in the world. LONG LIVE GARTH! You're a stud muffin.

day SEVEN!
Day 7 – Your dream wedding.
I already had mine! How fun! I loved my wedding day. I loved the reception, the CAKE!, being around friends and family all day, being in a princess dress, and all of the fun little details. The sealing was by far my favorite part. After the sealing I didn't care what happened. I even ripped my wedding dress in the temple and I didn't even give a crap. Because I was married for time and all eternity to Ryan. I'm so lucky I married someone as great as Ryan. What a dream.

These 2 cuties are Ryan's sister Jamie's dogs. Oh how I love them. I want a boxer oh so badly! I've been wanting a dog ever since I moved out of the house and was no longer around them. I grew up with a house/yard full of animals so I miss having them around. One day we will get a dog. I ask Ryan frequently. . . I'm just waiting for him to say yes.

that I've been lucky enough to have. They have been so great and I love them all so much.
de'ja. i love you girl!
camelot. my sweet camelot. :)
Claire Spice Bear. Oh how I love my spice girl fo lyfe.
How sweet is this pic from Senior year?!?! haha. Marie, Gina, and Kee Kee. Oh how I miss these guys. Since we all live in different states we never get to see eachother but I will always consider us best friends. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Amy Lynn! One of the most christ-like people you'll ever meet with the greatest sense of humor ever. I love you AMY!
Larla! Oh my goodness. We've been through so much together and I'm excited to make even more memories with you. I'm so excited to see all the things you accomplish in the world. SHORTY!
My mom. I think she is truly the most beautiful person inside and out. I don't know why I was so blessed to have the perfect mom. I try everyday to be more like her and the best compliments I receive are ones that revolve around me being like her in anyway. We laugh hard together, cry hard together, and we get along like best friends! I love you MOM!
Mandi Lynn. She is drop dead gorgeous and the best older sister you could ask for. She knows how to have fun. She throws the best parties, makes the best food, has the best style, and is always down for anything and everything. She does it all and she even made my wedding cake(that cake will go down in history btw, it was so amazing). We are so different but get along so great. I love you Mandini Weenie!
Jodie!!! What would I do without her? We were meant to be best friends. We were meant to be sisters as well so thank heavens she married my brother. She has helped me so much these last few years and I can talk to her about anything and either she's gone through it or knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. She's so creative and can has a nak for making everything seem more beautiful. I love being goofy with her and I'm so bummed that you guys are moving to Texas. . .(but happy for you guys whatever haha.)
Katlin Storm Cloud. My baby sister. Isn't she just so beautiful? I've loved this girl with all my heart as long as I could remember. . . I was told I always smothered her with attention when we were younger and things haven't changed much. We were such buddies growin up and always been and always will be. She has helped me through so much and the poor girl has listened to so many of my sob stories! haha. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love her! I'm so proud of this girl. She's such a tom boy and always has been. She's the one that can ride the snowmobile or the motorbike better than all of us (which I've been totally jealous of). Her laugh is one of my favorite laughs in the world, she is such a great writer and I can't wait until she has a book one day. I love you Storm Cloud!
Megan Marie. Oh. My. Word. Can you believe that smile??? Those DIMPLES?!?! Can you believe how pretty my little sissy is?!?! Megan is unlike anyone I've ever met. Megan has always been MEGAN, she is always herself (what 16 yr old can say that), she does what she wants, says what she wants, and has such a free spirit. No matter what mood I'm in Megan always makes me a little bit happier. Have this girl tell you one of her stories and it will cheer up any crappy day you you. I'm so excited to see all the great things she does as she grows up. Megs thanks for being such a great sister to me! I love you.
The Welch Girls. I love you Ashley and Jenna. I have some of my greatest memories with these two. Best cousins for life. :) (Shout out to Brady and Riley. . i love you boys)
Sagan! I'm so lucky to have a friend like her. She's the most loyal, supportive, and sweetest friend ever. SAGAN FOR PRESIDENT!

day THREE!
Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
I don't have to go on first dates anymore! Heck ya! So here is what we think is a pretty sweet date.
First, enjoying the great outdoors in one way or another. .. ideally it would be rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, or boating. But snowshoeing is good enough for now!
THEN. . .watch the Jazz WIN while eating at one of our favorite restaurants. Texas Roadie!
Lastly. . spend the night canoodling and xoxoing in our cozy brick walled apartment. Sounds simply wonderful doesn't it?

day TWO!
Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
YUM! I eat this EVERYDAY! I love it so much. My favorite way to eat it is on toast with honey. Ryan said to me to the other day, "I never thought to eat toast with peanut butter and honey on it. I love it!"
I love peanut butter (especially when paired with chocolate) but there is something about this particular peanut butter that I just love. TRY IT!

Day ONE!
DAY ONE-a photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Today I woke up at 5am for work. I work with teenagers with eating disorders so most of the 10 hour shift I went from feeling irritable, sympathetic, full of love for the girls, and feeling extremely frustrated. That's how my days usually go when I'm running on no sleep and surrounded by teenagers. haha.
After work we met up with some friends for 15 cent wings and The Beehive, we laughed and ate. (my 2 faves) Now me and Ryan are watching Save the Last Dance and enjoying our daily cuddle session. I love my life. (especially now that Ryan is in it) Today I miss summer.
