.:New York Memories:.

I was so fortunate to visit New York with my mom and grandma this summer. We went to see family and the places where my grandma grew up and it was so much fun to have some girl time. New York has always been a place i have wanted to go so i was so pumped to go. We went to palmyra and buffalo and niagara falls/canada area...everything was absolutely beautiful i had a blast! i also enjoyed meeting family members i never even knew i had!!!

.:My Arizona:.

So this post is dedicated to the few of a MILLION things i loved about arizona. I cant even explain how much i miss this place and i know i share that alot:) BUT....home is definitely where you story begins and thats where mine began. And i have made my long journey in life to end up to my second home...south jordan, utah. It is amazing here and i am the luckiest girl in the world to know i have family and friends so far away. however being positive has now become one of my strong points and i dont think i EVER could have accomplished that. I wanna say how grateful i am for my friends and family and i love everyone so much.
