The past 24 hours have been absolutely the most fun I have had in awhile! My best friend, Danielle, called me on Thursday night to tell me that she was getting me a professional massage for my birthday (which is on Tuesday by the way...)! I was so excited because I have never had a massage before. Along with the massage, Danielle spent the night at my house last night and we stayed up until 5:30 in the morning girl talking...which we haven't done in awhile and it was great! So on about 5 hours of sleep, we got up and drove to Body and Soul Spa in Scottsdale, AZ. Danielle and I each got a 30 minute heavenly sugar scrub and 30 minute therapeautic massage. This is the room where they did the sugar scrub. You can kind of see in the picture the shower nozzles they used. After the massage therapist did the scrub, she turned on these nozzles and it was like warm rain hitting your body. The bed you lay in also fills with water so it's similar to laying in a bath. Basically, it was incredible. There was soothing music and heat lamps and.....aaaahhhh....it was so relaxing. For an entire hour I didn't have a care in the world. here's a few pictures I took there:After the wonderful relaxation, we ran some errands, got some lunch, then went to her house to watch her sister get ready for winter formal! Her sister, Ashley, is 15 now but I seriously remember her when she was 5. She is so beautiful, but she is getting so grown up. She was excited because she was going to the dance with a boy she really likes and we got to meet him too! it just brings back so many memories from high school. Me and Danielle both wanted to go to the dance with her!! Here's some pics of Ashley and her date, Chris:
All in all, an extremely fun weekend. I decided if I'm ever rich, the first thing I'm getting is a personal massage therapist!!! I'm so lucky to have an amazing best friend-she knows this is exactly what I needed! Too bad I have to do a ton of homework tomorrow, but now it's time for bed to catch up on some sleep....Goodnight!

Oh how life changes....

So...

I just found out a girl I've known since 7th grade is getting married in March...and one of my friends from elementary school is getting married in May....and one of Davis's good friends is getting married next fall...another girl I know got married last April. It's just amazing that we're all adults and we can do these things without people thinking we're crazy. Granted-I still think 19/20 is too young to get married, but I understand that for some people it is the right thing for them.

Of course, with all these friends of mine getting married, and considering I went to FIVE weddings last year (all of them cousins...can you say ginormous extended family??!!) people begin to ask questions. Most of these revolve around "When are you and Davis getting married? Are you engaged yet? When are you getting engaged?" And so on and so forth... I understand that we've been together for 3 years, and after that amount of time those types of questions are warranted. But man alive it gets old. I want to...let me rephrase that...we both want to wait a few years until we are done with school or almost done with school. I don't see anything wrong with that. We love eachother so much, but we don't want to have to plan a wedding and go to school and pay for it (big reason!). Like I said before, it's cool if others want to do that, I'm not going to judge others for wanting to start their lives with those that they love.

Oh and in the process of figuring how to use this blog I deleted the rest of the post....I guess I'll just have to leave you in suspense about my view on marriage. I have a term paper to start and a journal entry to finish...

Wait! I started working out tonight with my parents' personal trainer! I'm in a little bit of pain but all is well and I'm very excited to start going three times a week. Should be fun...we'll see if I change my mind on Thursday after the first full workout...
