Summer is winding down.

-Music Video

Here is a music video of my friends (Riki, Hunter, and Jeremy) and I. We had a lot of fun making this and are very proud of it! haha. (I love making up dances and doing weird things like this) Those type of memories last forever! Enjoy! :)

Dancin' Fools

-Portraits

I've been trying to take more pictures lately... so consequently my sister's have had to be my models. Here are some of the pictures I took. Both were pretty impromptu so they aren't the best, but they turned out ok.

Summer's winding down...
The things I have been doing to polish off my summer:

packing, playing tennis, scrapbooking, playing ping pong, dancing, taking pictures, somtimes working, babysitting a lot, looking for a car, hanging out with friends, and moving into my apartment. That about sums it up!

Last weekend Lex and I went down to Sedona to meet up with my dad and Alex! We hung out over there for the weekend and went to different views, made some awesome bracelets, and shopped. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with them before school started. :)

The 3 amigas/hermanas!

Girls Night!

I am blessed to have such great friends! :) It's sad leaving everyone during the school year, but at the same time it's excitng to have the opportunity to make new friends at ASU.

I'm basically all moved into my apartment! Overall, I really like it. When we first moved in the place was pretty dirty and there are still things that are kinda messed up that need fixed. That made the move a little annoying. Besides that, I'm excited to be living with my friend Jeevan in our apartment! :)

ASU/TEMPE, HERE I COME!!

Confused

To change my major or not to change my major...

that is the question.

-BUSINESS OR NURSING-

This is the question that has been haunting my mind for about the past month.

I have a list of pros and cons and although the list favors nursing, I still am having a hard time committing to going with that decision. So many questions come up... for example the big ones:

What if I'm not smart enough?

What if I don't get into the nursing program?

So right now I am signed up for BIO 201 and I'm kinda hoping that class will help me determine if i I'm cut out for it or not. I'm also hoping I can get into another nursing class for this coming semester to help me decide. I'm not a huge fan of making these life changing decisions!

Sisters forever!

Together through it all.

Tomorrow is Lexi's 17th b-day!! Lex if you read this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We have spent basically our ENTIRE lives together! Before I left for college we had only parted for a maximum of a couple weeks at a time. CRAZY! We have done so much together and have SO MANY fun memories over the years. For the most part, we get a long really well and I am glad to call her one of my best friends. She is a very kind and loving person who gets along with just about anybody. I want her to know how much I love her and that I will always be there for her! Lucky for her we are stuck together FOORRREEEVVVEEERRR... Muahahaha! Here are some pictures of Lex and I as we grew up together over the years! Enjoy! And no making fun...

Goals

My temporary goals:

1. Learn to play the harmonica.

2. Go running a few times a week.

3. Play more tennis.

4. Memorize songs on the guitar and play more often.

5. Learn to crochet different stitches. (I know, very nerdy but oh well. lol)

Like a wise man once said, "Write it down. Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; cant's into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality. Don't just think it - ink it!"
Hopefully they are right!

California!

My family and I had a week vacation to Carlsbad, CA! We went to the beach, played at Legoland, went to an aquarium, and hung out! Here are some pictures!

LEGOLAND:

These are all made from legos... pretty impressive! I think that would be a fun job!

Sisters! (Me, Anna, Lexi)

Goodbye vacation, hello life...

Now my summer has calmed down a lot and I'm occasionally working at State Farm as a secretary and doing summer school. On my spare time I like to hangout with my friends, family, and my boyfriend (Aaron)! Aaron graduated from his first improv class yesterday! He did a great job in his classes' performance!

Missionaries are leaving left and right lately!
My good friend Joey Gamez left yesterday to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in New Jersey! This is at his potluck/ party before he left. Joey became a good friend while at ASU and I am grateful for him being such a great home teacher and friend. He will be an amazing missionary!

(Aaron, Joey, Jenn)

Utah!

At the end of May I was able to go to Utah to visit family and go see my sister, Alex, graduate high school! We had a fun-filled week with many fun and exciting adventures. So I will take you through a few of them that have been documented with pictures...

1) Alex's Graduation:

These are my siblings on the Jones side of the family. (minus Addison)2) One of the highlights of the week was OATMEALING! I don't blame you for not knowing what that is... I was just recently introduced. This is the perfect activity for those days where you are just aimlessly driving around town with a group of people, trying to figure out what to do. What you need: Oatmeal, water, a car, and a driver. What to do: Put oatmeal in your mouth, swish it around with water, and when you are at a good distance away from a car to where they can see you, pretend to throw up out of the window!! hahaha! It is so much fun and very entertaining! It's hilarious to watch people's reactions. So there's a random activity to try out sometime! :)

3) This is our friend Cameron Pruett, who is now serving in the Peru Trujillo Mission.

Our last time hanging out with the Camerons'! We had a fun time playing at the park!
This is one of the games that my familiy has basically made a traditon to play and to teach people. This is a very entertaining group game for people that are looking to have a good time and be goofs! KOOM-CHA! (This actually is an organized game, even though it looks like caos!)

















4) Hike to the "C" on Cedar City mountain:

Me, my dad, and Lex on the hike

Finally made it! :)

5) Going to view sites with the sister and grandparents!
