Home of the Panthers.

Once upon a time.
A boy and a girl both rode the bus to school.
They went to an Elementary called Twin Peaks.
It was an elementary far from their house, pretty much only cool kids got to attend this school.
(or our parents were just nice and sent us there to keep the attendance numbers up so the didn't shut the school down)
The boy was smart, funny and popular and in fourth grade.
The girl was kind of shy didn't know many people because all the kids she went to kindergarten went to a school called Fox Hills. She was in first grade.
The girl sat in the front with her friend Jordan.
The boy being popular sat in the back of the bus where only the cool kids got to sit.
After two marvelous years the parents of the girl had her transfer back to the school in her area called Fox Hills.
And the boy kept attending Twin Peaks.
Many years later this boy and girl revisited this school and talked of there many memories involving it.
For some reason the big magical place was a lot smaller then what was remembered from many years ago.
You see this cool fourth grade boy eventually took pity on the small shy first grade girl and now lets her hold his hand from time to time.

She is one lucky girl.

Kevin and I had the same first grade teacher Mrs. Keotter. She was the best. She taught us how to spell. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
Its rumored to be the longest word in the dictionary. And we were only in the first grade. yeah.
so cool.

Delicious Memories.

One of my favorite parts of the fall is eating carmel apples.


They are delicious.


Carmeled Apples always remind me of a certain person.

My grandpa Startup.

His candy company would make them and they were probably the best I have ever eaten.

I always loved halloween time cause it meant we would be getting carmeled apples from him.


Two years ago my grandpa passed away and this month he would have turned 92. I can't believe how fast its gone by.


I love my grandparents so much...they have always been such amazing examples to me of love and service.


This month a couple of my sisters have blogged about my grandparents and it has just made me realize how much I miss my grandpa.

Especially this time of year.

I know my grandma misses him so much. She is such a trooper.

Sonic Scout.

Meet the Sonic Scout.
This little guy was my Mothers when she was little.
Something you might not know about me is
I Love everything Vintage!!
I had my eye on this sweet little thing for as long as I can remember..it sat in my grandparents
garage for too long.
After many hints..my dad finally fixed it up for me with a fresh set of wheels. I brought it to logan my freshman year and got a few good uses out of it.
Due to the fact I lived at the bottom of a huge hill last school year I never rode it.
What a tragedy!
Last night I took it for a spin with some friends.
We rode to the temple and thoroughly enjoyed the Summer night and sunset.
I love summer.
And I love the Sonic Scout.
It is pretty darn old, but it is still kickin...
Goal: To ride the bike more.
