I saw this video and couldn't keep from a few tears. Such a cool story even though I'm not a USC fan at all I am a fan of sports. It really made me think twice about what I take for granted...like my eyesight. The simple thing of waking up and seeing. Knowing what my family and friends and the beautiful world around me looks like is something I've never really thought about.
Cool Story. Watch.

Rain. Football. Uchtdorf.
Rain.
It has been raining so hard for the past couple days..I love it! It's so weird though, it's been so long since it has rained that hard for that long. It made me want a rain jacket and boots pretty bad but then I remembered I won't use them again until like May. Wish we had a more rainy season.
Football.
Utes - 59
CSU - 6
That's all.
Uchtdorf.
As I was walking around outside the stadium (really I was trying to find scalpers, don't tell uchtdorf that) I saw him get out of his car as was walking towards the stadium. I was smiling pretty big and really just couldn't believe he was actually in front of me. As I passed him he saw me smiling at him, smiled back..
Me: "Hi"
Him: "Hello"
And that was the end of that story. As I was walking away I was kicking myself for not asking to shake his hand!! But at least he acknowledged me right?! Pretty cool
P.S.
In a non-creepy way..just observant..
I was close enough to President Uchtdorf to know that he smells good. Just FYI haha

Book of the Year
I just read the greatest book. It'll make my favorites for sure! Honestly when someone recommended it to me I was skeptical because well lets face it Lance Armstrong is a controversial guy. But I think that was just because I didn't know the whole story and now that I do, I want to wear a "Live Strong" band haha. It was really cool and really well written. It didn't make cancer into anything else but what it is..nasty.
Eight years ago, almost to the day, I lost my grandfather to cancer. He has and always will have a spot in my heart. He taught me to work hard and serve others, that when it might be incovenient or even a pain for us that it's important to love because somewhere along it all you'll find amazing people from places you never would've discovered otherwise.
He also taught me the meaning of a name. Hardman. I was taught from a very young age how important it was to do things that would not only not embarrass myself but my family because it affects everyone related to me.
Just to tell you how important it was..the first time I got that talk was when I lied in primary and told them it was my birthday just so that I could get a brownie. I was a hungry little girl and who doesn't love warm, gooey brownies?? But it just so happens that my dad was walking past when they were singing happy birthday to his daughter in november (my birthday is in april) haha.
I miss my grandpa dearly and still get choked up. He's my hero and I can't wait to see him again, I know he's watching over me.
I love you Grandpa!

It's one thing to lose your boyfriend..
..but another thing to have your best friend leave for two years.
One month has gone by! It's been so weird not to have him here or at least to call and talk to. But I do love getting letters, he's doing so good! But I'm glad it's been a month hopefully the rest will go by even faster haha.
A while ago I read an article about an Oregon football player. So cool to read about people like this because it seems that all we ever hear are story after story about athletes getting arrested/suspended for breaking laws and team rules. Refreshing to know that these kind of guys still exist in one of the greatest organizations ever..College Football.

October already??
Is it just me or does it still feel like summer? Maybe it's just because I'm not in school but the weather is beautiful it feels like winter is a long ways off.
But I do have to say living in Utah makes you love every season!! Hot summers, beautiful fall colors, snowy winters, rainy spring. I can't pick a favorite. But right now, beautiful fall...
My favorite thing to do in fall is be in the canyon
Pretty eh? Love it. I want to do a couple more hikes before it snows but when it does bring on the shredding!
