Meet Anna-beezy

It is a very special lady's 21st birthday today....and even though we can't be together, a birthday blog post is still mandatory. 

In no particular order, 21 of the thousands of reasons why I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to live with AB. 

1. She is so graceful in everything that she does. I have never (ok maybe once or twice) seen her do something and not look graceful while doing it. 

2. She is always the life of the party with her funky dance moves and her rocking sense of humor. She lights up every room she walks into. 

3. She is truly one of the first and only good girlfriends that I have ever had. That speaks a lot to her character. 

4. She is bootylicious and never lets any of us forget how fabulous she truly is. Whether we are doing at home haircuts or going to a fancy dinner, she is always dressed for success. 

5. She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She always removes tags from photos on Facebook but she looks drop dead gorgeous in every picture ever. Ever. 

6. She is most definitely the best thrift shopper in the entire universe. She knows the best spots in Tucson and is always willing to scope out new ones with me. 

7. Her dance moves. Seriously the best things in the world. For anyone who hasn't seen her karaoke version of Faithfully, you are truly missing something from your life. Sorry. 

8. She is so athletic and dedicated to her health and fitness. Even when the rest of us pig out and just want to lay on the couch all night, she gets up and goes on a run anyways. 

9. She is super caring and sensitive. I don't think Annabeth could ever be mean to anyone. 

10. She loves animals just as much (if not more) than I do. Crazy cat ladies unite!!!!!

11. She has an intense thirst for life. She is so carefree and adventurous, which is something I wish I could be. 

12. Her outfit choices might be a little cray sometimes, but she always struts her stuff with the greatest confidence. She isn't afraid of who she is. 

13. This one just has to be in here more than once. Seriously, I never thought someone this pretty would ever be my friend. She rocks the Rachel like nobody's business. 

14. She is our apartment's token hipster. Without her, we would probably just be a bunch of white-washed Mormons. (Not really, but she definitely brings the hip factor)

15. She can rock any hairstyle, from long mermaid hair, to the Rachel, to this beautiful ABBA wig. 

16. She's not afraid to be a little crazy. Ok she's super duper extremely crazy. She says the most bizarre things but it keeps life fresh and fun and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

17. She has so many musical talents. I love it so much when AB brings her cello downstairs and plays for us. It makes me feel like I'm in a fancy restaurant all the time. 

18. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She is passionate about her family, friends, school, and everything else and it is obvious to everyone around her. 

19. I can say whatever the heck I want to her because I know it's a judgment free zone because AB is one of the most understanding people I know. 

20. Probably most importantly, she is always willing to do something absolutely crazy with me. My spontaneity buddy. Whether we are giving each other haircuts or going on a juice cleanse that only lasts for two meals, I can be sure that Annabeth will support me.  

21. Dat booty doe. 

Annabeth, I love you and I can't wait for camp this summer and I can't wait for school next year and I am so so soo sooooo happy and excited to have another entire year long party. Happy birthday you cutie pie <3 <3 <3 <3

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right....

This blog post shall be a combination of me catching up on the latest happenings and reminiscing on some of this year's greatest moments. And there were a ton of those. 

Annabeth and I went thrift shopping and it was amazing. 

We also created a spring art piece. 

Dallin got his wisdom teeth pulled and sent me the best snapchats ever. 

We tried to go to the Neighbors advanced screening but didn't make it in...

My amazing friend Kate got baptized and I had the honor of performing at her baptism. 

Syd once again saved the day with her Costco card as I had to plan Break the Fast at church. 

My melons were a big hit. 

We celebrated Sanahin's 21st birthday with a beautiful dinner and bowling!

There was a lot of fun had at dinner. 

And it was super yummy too!

My best friend graduated from Institute. 

And looked hot while doing so. 

Annabeth's relationship with Ben Kevin really escalated. 

Avery came to visit for a weekend and it was the funnest thing ever. 

She is the cutest person ever. 

We braved the craziness that is the Disney store to get a Frozen doll. 

The Richardsons proved once again that they are the cutest. 

Elsa made an awesome lunch buddy. 

I even got to hold her. 

She even drank some nummy water. 

Some of us went skinny dipping. Others of us just went dipping. 

We had a lovely lazy day in. 

Annabeth proved that you're never too old to play with your food. 

Our girl's night out rocked

We played tons of Rock Band (ok it only happened twice)

Here's the real kicker....a real boy asked me to the Spring Formal! A real one, I promise. 

It was the greatest moment ever. 

We had our last roomie dinner at Chipotle. 

We taught everyone a little Avery yoga. 

Syd was a very dramatic dead person during Murder in the Dark. 

Our weeds grew taller than Sydney. 

We got free pancakes from the University. 

Annabeth found a mannequin with her dream body. 

There was an awesome painted horse with cleavage at the mall. 

Sydney and I had a great lunch together at Baggin's. 

Sydney and Ryan took some totally normal not awkward pictures. 

The beezies were (almost) all together and rocking black. 

Roland and I couldn't take a normal picture either. 

But we got our act together. 

The beezies (minus Lauren) went out for a roommate fun day starting with Xtreme fun go-karting. 

We moved onto a Goodwill competition. 

And finished it off with a hike. 

We played Just Dance. 

Kate Middleton stared into our souls. 

And AB and I discovered just how fun pantyhose can be. 

Out of all of the fun that happened this month, the icing on the cake is that school is finally over! (Kind of, I have a final tomorrow morning but then I'm done) And I have learned a ton and had so many great experiences. 

 1. My amazing roommate Sydney taught me that there's always a way to turn something into a party, and that roommates can be like sister. 

2. Lauren stuck by my side through every experience, good and bad, and taught me how to give more of myself in service in every aspect of my life. 

3. Annabeth taught me not to be afraid of being myself and that there actually are other people who are as weird as I am. 

4. I became closer than ever with my best friend and learned that there is nothing that can't be fixed by talking to your BFF. 

5. Most of all, I gained the greatest girlfriends I have ever had and I learned from them that there is nothing more important than having a family away from home. Thank you to the beezies for being my family! Love you all.
