Ohhhh Guat

My dad went to Honduras once for a couple of months to do eye surgery for people over there. When he came home he brought us each a little present and when I opened up this package from Whit today it smelled exactly the same. It smelled like straight up Mexico, and I loved it.

I think I love Guatemala a lot and I've never even been there.

And those people only get my Whitney for 300 more days, so they better use their time wisely cause soon she will be back here in Utah and I'm a little excited about that.

I miss her the most sometimes cause I mean come on, she's my go to, favorite big kid ever.

We promised each other we'd be each others Valentines cause we are both terribly single, and I'm happy about that. I'm glad to have friends like her.

I can't wait till she comes home and we can eat Café rio together and hike in the mountains together and laugh at all the weirdest things together.

So thanks for the package Whitters. You make my life super rad.

300 more days and then you are mine!

Just life.

First off I would be dead right now without ^this^ human being. Thanks for being my ride or die. And thank you for giving me dried mangos when I need them the most.

Also sorry for the horrible quality of that picture...

 

And then this is how life has been going lately:

+ the Danielle Bradbery CD. It makes the worst days ok.

+Camden called me and told me he's getting baptized! I am so happy for this little boy! (also on the phone he told me I sounded so grown up, and I think it's cause I'm almost 20 ;))

+I finished all of my midterms for the time being. Oh and sometimes we cycle to 1D in my cycling class, and I feel veryyyyy fine about it.

+It snowed the other day I wasn't even mad about it for once in my life. Then it kept on snowing and I did not appreciate it too much anymore.

+Salad and salmon have become like my favorite foods lately. Since when did I become my mom?

+Also castle. I just finished the season 4 finale. And I cried. I'm not even ashamed cause the emotion in that episode is too much to handle. Also if Beckett and Castle had a couple name I'd call them Casette.

+Sometimes I can't talk to the opposite sex and this is the reason why Whitney Minnick is my best friend. And I miss her a whole lot right about now.

+I want a yellow kitchen aid and I want one now.

+I haven't even started training myself to beat my 9 year sister in a soccer dribble off. How am I supposed to pull this one off!?

And yea, that about sums it up. I just want to eat thin mints while Bailey tells me good things about this world cause that's just where I am. Have a blessed night.

I'm a lucky little snitch sometimes

Me and Em took this time she is in Utah to do LOTS of cousin bonding. We went on a temple trip, we went to a men's volleyball game, we went out to lunch, and we talked and talked and talked.

I'm so lucky. So lucky to have my family as my little best friends.

Also ^^^look^^^

My Sister Minnick is my home girl 4ever. If there is one person who will win the title of "my best friend forever and all eternity and my twin and my soul mate" it would be Whitney Minnick.

And why she is so perfect will always be beyond me.

Also I got to email chat with her a like 5 minutes ago, so that was a real treat.

I love you my little Spanish speaking twinner.

And I may or may not have cried watching her "chili" video because I got to hear her VOICE! I died.

 

And then lets talk about all these things that no one will care about, but me probs...

1//Em and I conveniently were in the Anatomy hall today just chillin and low and behold two angles came upon us and wanted to ask us questions about LearnSmart. (Here is where the angel part comes into play) Since we were so cooperative and gave such good feedback (I'm sure) they gave us free café rio gift cards. Like come onnnnn.

2//Today was weirdly warm, but now there is snow on the forecast. Kill.

3//We found a new place to live! And we like it a lot.

4//I'm almost done with my dental app. I can see the light!

5//Brooklyn and I went to the 11 o'clock church instead of our wards due to Brooklyn's tragically busy schedule. It was completely refreshing to go to a different ward. And we even got hit on by boys and got to sit with little Nate who quizzed us on an arm muscle in sacrament meeting. Don't worry, we semi nailed it.

6//Baileys cousin let us babysit her baby! We got to stare at/hold the chubbiest baby for like 3 hours. We were in heaven. And then Meagan had her baby so I got to go hold/meet him.

And everything has been going a lot better lately. And I'm really happy this is how things are.

I'm lucky for a lot of different people that make my life kind of awesome. Thanks peeps.

Lets all pray that this week stays hoppin and pray that that package can get from Guat to Provo.

I miss ya Stace girl.

I took this picture in honor of celebrating "wildlife shirt Wednesday" but I mainly took this picture to send to my Stacey.

I miss my Stace girl so so much, it's not even funny.

Sometimes I get real antsy and I literally contemplate buying a ticket to the Philippines just so I can see her face and hear her voice.

Every one should have a Stacey in their life in my opinion.

She will always sleep in the same bed with you. She will always share a pork salad with you. She will always tell you how hot you look. She will always car dance with you. She will always lay on the floor no matter where you are and try to outdo you by saying the stupidest things and get into the biggest laughing fit ever. She will always mess up the black rice and take you to chick-fil-a 10 minutes before it closes. She will always be your temple date. She will always have your back, like forever. She will always write you a billion letters, even when she is a million miles away cause she cares. She will always tell you her deepest secrets, but of course you'll have to tell you hers. She's the best friend you will ever have.

And every time I would wear this shirt she would say, hey Sara, let's go find me a wolf shirt.

So in other words, she's my soul mate. No one has ever seen this shirt and wanted one so badly.

And once you bond over a wolf shirt, there is no going back.

So Stace, thanks for being my pal forever.

I literally can't wait till you come home and Whitney and I can caress the heck out of your face! (1 year and 47 days to go!!!)

Love you bby girl.

Can we have every Monday off?

We decided to go hiking on our day off. Utah is seriously the most beautiful place. I like it.

Also we literally found crystal snow. It was crazy + this picture does not do it justice + I am forever mind blown.

Also as of lately....

We went swimming in January guys! Like in an outside pool and it wasn't even uncomfortable. Can I get a what what!

I think my internal water works are still on hyper-drive thanks to the season 3 finale of Castle.

I feel like literally all I do with my life is school, homework, application stuff, and go on target runs. And I'm not even mad about it.

Two of my missionaries told me they are sending me packages. Come on guys, can my friends be any cooler? I don't think so!

Also, dried mango. I'm addicted and proud of it. Future husband: the amount of dried mango that will flow through our house will be heavenly.

And lets all start using our 11:11 wishes for the greater cause of letting this earth start to warm up.

That is all.

Ughhhh

Yesterday was literally the worst day ever, so we decided to go to the Draper Temple cause it's my fav and I love being there. It did make things look up. But I'm also so thankful for the people I have in my life that make me happy. And I was going through old letters and stuff and I came up with these quoted from my favorite people to boost my spirits. So the following are more for me than anyone.

 

"So. I may or may not be in love with you. And by that I mean I'm in love with you." -Bailey

 

"As long as you know that I count myself very lucky to have you for my friend! I admire you very much!" -Brooklyn

 

"You're awesome, do you know that? Keep taking those baby steps, they mean more than you know!" - Aaron

 

"I know that the Lord is molding you into such a strong and amazing person. I love you so much Sar bear!" -Stacey

 

"Sar bear! Well hello radest person ever. I love you Sara Middle Name Washburn. You are beautiful! I miss you, and I love you, and pray for you! Te amo." -Whitney

 

"I'm one of the luckiest people to know you. And you are gonna have a freaking incredible husband and he will be the luckiest man in the whole wide world. And your children will be beyond adorable." -SkyeLyn

 

"You are so smart and talented. I love you so much and I think the world of you. You've made my life so much more enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better friend and cousin." -Rachel

 

"You're my #1 cousin, I love you!" -Matt

 

"I love you Sara! I seriously have the best family ever!" -Brittney

 

"You are seriously the best. I just love you to death. I'm so blessed with an amazing family. Wait until I get back to get married please! I want to be there!" -Lindsey

 

And every dang day I am so thankful for these people. The people that make me feel so much love. I love all of YOU so so much.

Life is the best thing

This is Mandie. She's the best. She will ask you all about your crushes and tell you how awesome you are. She also is hilarious. I laugh the hardest around her. I'm so happy that my cousins are my best friends.

As you can see Mandie and I take life very seriously. But really we just love each other and take loooooooots of selfies when we are together.

 Last Friday we went down to the Smith Field House to watch our other cousin Nikki throw. She throws shot put for Uof U and she's the best. Like seriously, she threw the best she's ever done before that night and broke a Utah record, so our cousin is famous, it's whatever. And then we went out to dinner with her fam, and holy cow. I seriously wish everyone could have a family like mine. They are the greatest people on this planet. I can't even tell you how fun it is to hang out with them, you just have to do it for yourself. We should just throw a family party and invite the whole world. And obviously it will be held at Lake Powell.

Then I got to go to the temple! It was weird not going over winter break and I'm glad to be getting back into this weekly routine because the temple is my place.

Sometimes life can be a little bit hard at times. But come on, it is also so good. And I love it, I love every second of it.
