2 of My Favorite Things

I'm a super nerd.
Tomorrow this comes out:

I will be playing it all day while drinking this:

It's going to be a good day.



Friends

Tasha has friends??   Yes. I. do.

I have THE BEST friends in the world. Although I don't see them everyday like I used to back in my soccer days, they mean so much to me. They have always been there for me and they have never let me down. They make me laugh like no one else can. Christmas is coming up so I will get to see most of them, and I seriously can't wait. (Most of them are kicking ass playing college soccer)

Here's just a few pictures of our many adventures:

Gangsters on the Vegas strip

Handing out fliers for a fundraiser, we might have cheated.

Winning State Cup

I miss them.

I need to just get over it, but I can't stop replaying it in my head. What did I do wrong? Was it really my  fault?  I can't change anything that happened, and even if I could, I don't think I would.  

 So why is it constantly on my mind?

  

 It really hurts me to know that I destroyed something because I was honest when I was placed in an impossible situation.  It makes me sad that the people who were hurt think that I went out of my way to make their life hard. When I was asked a simple question, I gave the honest truth, nothing more.

For my Mama

I would like to take the time to talk about my mother, CHURON. Everyday I watch her I am amazed.  She does so much for everyone around her and takes little time for herself. She is caring and thoughtful and is always willing to listen and give advice. I am so grateful to be blessed with such a wonderful mother and friend whom I can always rely on. She has helped me through so much and has been my biggest cheerleader throughout my life.  She has never given up on me, and she continues to believe in me. She is always there to pick me up when I am down.  I hope one day I can become like the woman she is. I look up to her and I love her.
(Also she has these really sexy new glasses and she looks HOT in them. rawrrr!!)

I. LOVE. YOU.

Scuba!!

This semester I took a scuba diving course and as of yesterday I am now officially certified!! Over the weekend I went to Bonneville Sea Base in Grantsville to do my 5 open water dives.  Sea base is a natural salt water spring that they have turned into a small ocean.  There were all sorts of saltwater fish, 2 stingrays, and 5 sharks!  On my last dive I was able to pet one of the sharks, feel its dorsal fin and even hug him!! He was as big as me but he just sat there as I played with him, it was incredible. I was expecting him to feel squishy and blubbery like a dolphin, but he felt like a rock hard snake.  It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. 

Just two of the many different types of fish that we fed underwater.

There were two stingrays, one was named Irwin. (poor Steve)

And my favorite part...the two huge nurse sharks.  They were breathtaking.

I now have a bigger itch to see the world, especially underwater. I must convince the parents we need a vacation.
