So I've been delaying posting about my recent trip to Cincinnati, just thinking about the trip makes me depressed. We flew out Monday morning and got to Cincinnati that evening. My father and I enjoyed a late dinner and then headed to bed to get rested before my big day. I had fully planned on exploring downtown Cincinnati while my Dad was in meetings for the day, and then going to the big Christmas party that evening. Little did I know all I was going to see of the town was this....
I ended waking up with the stomach flu putting a little damper on my day full of events. And to make things even better, I didn't even make it to the Christmas Party (the whole reason I'd flew out there) So that was my trip. Hopefully my trip to Seattle in a few days will go a little better :)

Guess Who is 23!
My best friend Robyn is turning 23 today, so of course I had to devote a post to her! Let me give you a little background on our friendship! 
The truth is Robyn and I have only been friends a little over a year, but you'd never know that if you met us. When I took a leave from school to move to Chicago, Robyn started school and happen to become friends with all my friends when I was gone. When I got back I wasn't so sure about the "new girl" but quickly changed my mind when I realized she loved soccer just as much as me! Rob and I began to realize more and more we were perfect for each other, is a non lesbian way!
Robyn is seriously the one person in my life who understand my personality more than anyone else. She's crazy, I'm a little crazy, it all seems to work out! She's the type of friend that would do anything in the world for ya, no matter who she'd have to hurt! She's super tough, she's beat me up many times... I don't know why I ever try to beat her because I always know I'm gonna loose. One time Robyn made me meet her at the gym for a "quick" work out, I couldn't move for days. She kicked my butt so bad... I literally couldn't wash my hair for a week because I couldn't lift my arms that high! She's insane when it comes to working out, which I'm always very impressed by! 
When we went to Vegas a couple of months ago she didn't even get mad when we'd get kicked out of casinos because of me being too young, she'd just laugh it off! Robyn is going to be an amazing Mother... she's already an amazing aunt. For a long time she would even watch all her sisters kids on the weekends and even at one time she wanted to adopt her nephew. 
She is a freakin insane on the soccer field. This last year I got to play on her team for two seasons, finally got to see first hand what this girl can do! She can get that ball up the field quicker than anyone a know, she's amazing. Robyn is also an amazing wife to her dear husband Ryan. She's always talking about how in love she is with him and all the things she want to do for him! She even has this secret talent of somehow throwing away her husbands old stuff without him ever finding out :) 
Oh did I mention Robyn is Canadian, could this get any better. I love Canada, and I best friend is Canadian, how lucky did I get! Or did I also mention I love Robyn so much I'm willing to go see Twilight on her birthday with her! 
Any who, I love Rob and am so blessed to have a good friend like her in my life. I love you Rob and hope you have an amazing birthday!!! And don't be mad about all these beautiful pictures I posted hehe!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, hope everyone had a wonderful day! We made it through our first Thanksgiving here in Utah, a little weird not spending it in the Seattle rain but I think we adjusted quite well! So much to be thankful for, number one being that my family is now here in Utah making it much easier for all of us to be together this year! We even got the pleasure of having my cousin Jeni and her family join us for the afternoon. Last year I spent Thanksgiving flying home on a plane from Italy, eating pasta might I add, SO it was a nice change this year actually getting to enjoy Thanksgiving to the fullest!
Van, next football pro!

Miss Kaylee Ellah!
Kaylee is always saying the funniest things lately, must be something to do with the age! Sadly, she is also going through the stage where she tells me she doesn't like me anymore, which I have learned not to take personally. So last night I asked Kaylee if she loved me and she replied yes. I then asked her when she started loving me again, her reply "hmmm, Tuesday!" haha gotta love her!
