Oh no he didn't....

Oh Bachelorette...I love it. I love a good love story and I love a strong independent woman who knows what she wants. LOVE this season!

First off:



SEAN. I LOVE YOU. Any girl who says she wouldn't want to be with you has obviously lost her mind. (PICK HIM EMILY, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO).

Now to the drama:

Kalon. I told you all he would get himself kicked off in a matter of time. Well the man delivered. Goodbye Kalon. Good luck finding a woman in America to date you now...

I can see why Emily was upset with the guys for not stepping up and telling her about what happened. Just makes Sean look even better though. :)

Jef:



All I have to say is THANK YOU for finally kissing Emily! I'm not sure what to think of your hair, but overall you seem like a really genuine guy. I see you going far. :)

What were your thoughts on this week's episode?

Definitely didn't see that coming...

Emily sent Charlie home!? That was definitely a shocker! He was so cute and vulnerable, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be!

Here are my thoughts on the remaining bachelors:

• Sean: My front runner. Handsome. Sweet. The total package. :)
• Arie: Still definitely like him. Don't have much more to say.
• Travis: Seems like a nice enough guy. I don't see it going that far though. 
• Doug: His temper is going to get him in trouble I think. Emily hit the nail on the head when she said he appears to be perfect, but there has to be something more to him. 
• John: I think she made a good choice keeping him on the 2 on 1, but poor Nate!
• Jef: Not sure about him yet... I kind of like that he hasn't kissed her yet. It says things about him as a man. It's not all about the physical. I did read that his parents are mission presidents...does this mean he is LDS? :) 
• Chris: He is getting a little over sensitive about the whole age thing....just focus on Emily. Who cares what the other guys think? It's all about what she thinks of you silly.
• Ryan: Makes me want to vomit. He is a jerk. Thank goodness Emily is smarter than your average Bachelorette. It's kind of refreshing to not have to yell at the TV that the Bachelor/Bachelorette is blind.
• Kalon: Didn't say much this week, but I don't see him lasting long. 
• Alejandro: What a cute boy....but I don't see him going farther than next week. I was shocked he got chosen over Charlie. 

Love this show :)

Dear Bachelors...

Here are my thoughts about the men from this week's Bachelorette:

First off:

Dear Ryan,
Thank you for making my fence sitting position so easy to fix! You are no longer one of my favorites...you don't tell a girl that you won't "love on her" anymore if she gets fat one day. Bad move. Also, don't be so arrogant and competitive. Happy you made my decision so easy this week!

Dear Kalon,
Just keep doing what you are doing my friend...Emily won't keep you around much longer if you basically keep telling her to shut up because what you have to say is more important. P.S...Your pants are TOO tight. Basically I hope that Emily sends you home FAST!

Dear Sean,
Hello one of my new favorite men! You were kind of hiding in the shadows last week, but you really redeemed yourself this week. It was an easy decision to boot Ryan and move you in to his spot! Stay sweet and you may end up getting the girl! :)


Dear Arie,
Still one of my favorites! I'm pretty sure that Emily has already fallen for you. I am a fan of you too. :)

Tony: I'm glad you went home and that Emily let you go be with your son.
Alessandro: REALLY!? Having a child is a COMPROMISE!? Sheesh...foot meet mouth.

I am really a fan of this season! :) Way more of a fan of this one than Boring Ben's. :)

Memorial Day Weekend in Pictures

Memorial Day weekend was a busy one for us! We were all over the place! We started out in Pocatello for a quick visit to the fam up there! It is always great to visit my family! :) 

This is Ace :) he is one of Scott's horses. I <3 horses! 

 I know it isn't quite summer yet (dangit!), but I have started in on my summer reading! I love reading in the summer! 

I got my Tiffany's bracelet back today with the charm all attached! :) Now I can start wearing it! 

I went to get Pedicures with Mom King & Amy today! I love the way mine turned out! 

I didn't end up going to the pool today because it was too cold for my liking! Next week I will go! I was able to get a lot of things done that I needed to anyway! 

I am so excited for this week, but also dreading it. I will be basically babysitting my kids this week. As long as I can get through tomorrow and Wednesday I will survive! Friday is the last day! 4 days left until summer (which is going to be like 95 days long this year!)

WOO HOO! :)

Oh the Bachelorette...

It's back! The show I wish I could hate, but it totally pulls me in every time! I will admit I was a little sad to see that Emily was the Bachelorette. I really wanted her to stay with Brad. Oh well right? I really have enjoyed this season so far though. Things that I like about Emily being the Bachelorette:

• She is down to earth and real. She is in her own town and doing REAL things. That was my favorite thing about her date with Ryan. 
• She knows what she wants and doesn't settle for anything less. Poor Joe. He was such a sweetheart, but i'm glad she didn't keep him around just for show. 
• She is sincere. She lets herself be vulnerable. 

Basically I think this season will be unlike any other. 

Now on to the men: 

You think girls are dramatic? Try watching 25 men fight over one woman. The competitive sides come out and you can see their true colors pretty quickly. 

Exhibit A: 

Kalon. Not real sure what Emily sees in this guy. Right off the bat he was showing off and really he has said some really stupid things to the guys. Don't tell a guy that he put being a dad on hold to come on the show when you're vying for a single mom's attention. Dork. I really hope she gets rid of him soon, but as we all know, they don't really get rid of the stupid ones because it causes drama. 

Stevie. Having drama with Kalon. Drama is stupid and he is just kind of an interesting guy. I don't see it going anywhere. 

Now the men that I actually enjoy: 

Hello Charlie! Who doesn't love a man that is ripped, good looking, and totally vulnerable and cute!? LOVE Charlie! I would be very happy if she chose him! Especially because he is so down to earth and cute and doesn't act like a jerk. :) 

Oh Arie. The race car driver. Totally hot. Big fan. :) 

Ryan. :) Cute pro trainer man. I'm still on the fence with this one...i'm not sure how sincere he is yet. We shall see. :) 

I am thankful that the Bachelorette is around for the summer. It's always hard when all of the shows stop playing, so this one will keep my summer full of drama! :)

Happy Graduation to me! :)

My husband basically spoils me rotten. I don't know what I ever did to deserve him. He got us both Iphones for my graduation! I am addicted to my phone. It probably isn't healthy, but I LOVE it! Thanks baby! :)

Officially Official!

I officially graduated from Utah State yesterday! It was so fun to be able to see some of the girls that I went to school with and be able to walk with them. I went to school with some amazing girls! I also had a ton of support from family and it meant the world to me to have them all there! Thanks everyone!

 

 My graduation outfit! My sister Jaylen helped me pick it out :) loved it!

Officially done! :) 

Me & my hot hubby! He was one of my biggest supporters and I love him to pieces!

Me & my sister Aubri at my graduation dinner! 

 The beautiful roses that I got from my mom, Scott, Jaylen, Carly, Megan, & Derek :) I also got a Macy's gift card from them! 

My Dad & Shye got me a charm bracelet from Tiffany's! I never expected to own anything from there, so that was a fun surprise! 

The charm is a graduation cap :) too cute right!? 

I took pictures with everyone, but they weren't on my phone, so I will post more later as I get them. I also got money from Grandma & Grandpa Raschke and Aunt Zoe. My Grandma Arlene is going to take me shopping to help stock up my classroom next year! Grandma Kay is paying for our hotel room when we go visit this summer! We officially have our plane tickets and I can't wait to go spend a week in Mesa. :)

On a side note, it was teacher appreciation week this week. 

Our PTA is phenomenal, and this is only some of the stuff that I got. One of my students got me the chocolates and a $15 Bath & Body Works card. Basically I got spoiled all week and weekend! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me while I was getting my degree and who always pushed me to be the best person that I can be. I'll be honest...graduating only made me want to get a Master's Degree even more! I absolutely loved every minute of being at Utah State and i'm honestly a school junkie, so i'm not done yet friends! Thanks for all of your love & support!
