I'm alive, I swear.

It's been a million days almost. But I decided to have motivation

and update you few people with my life.

I feel like it's been soo long that I'm completely unorganized

and I don't even know where to start.

First, my pictures are completely out of order

and Second, they are out of date which may cause you to be bored.

But most of them mostly just feel necessary to show my life as

of lately. Let us begin.

Uh my best friend Kirby is the sweetest ever. I received this

little guy on FB. He's just kind. ^

This little Koala just so happens to be my power animal.

What are the chances that as I'm going through my moms old

jewelry I find I gold pin with my one and only Panimal on it?

Fate. Destiny?

My power animal gets me. ^

{Ignore his creepy smile..he's just happy}

I have the cutest kids in my life. They're prob one of the biggest

reasons I LOVE to go home every single weekend.

Isn't my dad the coolest? He thought I was texting while

following him in his truck.. no. I just wanted to show off my

rad dad. I love him so much. ^

So me and my parents went up to the state football game for

DHHS! SO COLD!! I'm a St. George girl. It's official.

(So why the heck am I in Cedar? Good question)

Photos, Photos, Photos. They equal my life these days.

And I could NOT be more happy. It so much fun.

I'm not good at being a photographer though. Which is

pretty unfortunate how things work.

For example.. I know I'm not the most talent cheerleader,

but I can work with people and teach people dances

with my eyes closed. But the thing is.. I don't care about cheer..

but I could do it as a job last summer and I was fine at it..

Then there's photography.

I LOVE TAKING PICTURES and doing creative things

and editing them. but OH MAN when it comes to taking peoples photos

and me taking charge and telling them where to go...

I become a whole new shy Lexi. Weirdest thing ever.

So, that's my biggest thing I'm overcoming right now. Can't wait

until the day I'm a pro and you guys never even knew that

I struggled with it. What a happy day!

Going to college for art has REALLY made me love it even more.

I can't imagine doing any other thing with my life.

I've met amazing people who have helped me get deeper

into photography. I always loved it.. but I thought I would go more

down the painting and drawing road. Once school actually got started though,

I knew photography was the path. For now at least.

I've gotten more brave and made a photography page on

Facebook! Help me get more photography jobs and

go like it! Here's the link:

A big. old. Stache. Bash.

What of it?

It was just a giant party. not giant actually.. but really fun.

Three rules to the party: (that weren't followed at all)

1. Must have a mustache on.

2. Must have your shirt tucked in.

3. Once you enter the dancing room you cannot stop.

It was a good time. Glad we made it out to the event.

Also, my mustache is a disgrace to mustaches and I apologize.

Just the tradition. Nothing to sweet. ^

These two girls are moving up to UVU. SAD DAY.

The upside? Me and Laura get their room which is bigger..

Is it worth it? Not at all. They're a few of my closest friends

and I don't appreciate them moving. I'm going to miss

Kins opening the nasty hot sauce for me every time.

I'm going to miss the jokes about being the exact same person,

naps on her bed, and her sweet spirit, Always finding the good in everyone.

Ah, Shy. (Top photo) I'm going to miss her willingness to do anything for everyone.

Her mountain Dew highs that led to her cleaning the kitchen spotless every

night. I'm going to miss her knowing EVERY single thing that happens

with the body and knowing about every illness possible (she's our nurse-to-be)

and I'm going to ESPECIALLY miss her being the D.J belting and dancing to every song.

I got to stop. I'm going to cry. haha. 2:30 AM makes emotions worse too I think.

But I'll do a whole post for them.

I am a marshmallow. It's the worst.

that's the face I make every morning. Cause guess what?

When it's ZERO degrees I want to cry. but I hold it together

in my big, warm puffy coat.

(Thanks mom for letting me

borrow your cute WARM coat) ^

We got our map started at home in St. George!

Everyone in the family is putting a pin where they've been in the world.

Miki is winning so far. But just wait.. I'll catch up.

I'm the blue pins, she's yellow. everyone else is slacking.

I'm pretty sure they've done some since I've been home though.

It's such a fun thing to have hanging!

AHH College life has been crazy. I got a job.

I'm a dance instructor at Club Sweat. WOO!

The first question people ask me when they find out is..

"You dance?!"

I'm pretty sure I should take offense to that. But I totally don't.

I'm right there with them. hahah Feels like

a million years since I've danced. But we'll see how this job goes!

If I could teach stunting, dancing, cheers, and cheer skills from

7:00 AM- 11:00 PM every day during the summer, I'm pretty

sure I can teach a dance class for three hours!

All I need is a little confidence and some people

to show up. haha I'll keep you updated!

My love for photography has grown so much lately.

I've done a ton of jobs recently and it rocks my world. It's so fun!

My computer is SLOW JOE though, so it's kind of tough to keep up

on all my projects. But I'll figure that out for sure!

Also I've heard sooo many negative things towards my decision

on my art major.

What can you do with art? Art is EASIER than ____! (fill in the blank)

You don't even have to study ever.

Is it bad it kind of hurts my feelings? haha pathetic, I know.

But I think I would die of embarrassment if I had a major in

anything else because I would fail all of my classes. haha

SO GLAD THERE IS ART IN THE WORLD!

and to be completely honest, I could care less about any other

major. I'll figure out a way to help the world without

finding the cure to cancer.

I did NOT start out very good at art. In fact, I'm still border line horrible and painting.

Photography is what i LOVE and I go to class and figure things out with it

every single day to get better and produce things I'm proud to say are mine.

I don't have to study. Thank heavens because I don't know how.

I'm perfectly fine with spending 5 hours a day editing pictures.

It's much more fun to me.

haha

ahhh now i'm just a rambling fool. Maybe i'll add more tomorrow.

But I can feel a sickness coming in my throat.

Good thing Chase Jensen isn't here to say..

"WHAT? really? you're never sick!"

I've done good this year with not getting sick.

I'm always sick.

cool huh. yep. ok.

well... sorry about typos.

I'm too tired to double check for mistakes.

I'm only human.

Happy Thursday.

Don't do drugs. They hurt your bod.

XOXO
