Video from one of my favorite Death Cab songs. I'm so lucky to have been able to have two nights in a row of amazing music and time with friends! It's amazing how invigorating love music can be! #deathcabforcutie #presidentofwhat? #iloveit #highschoolflashbacks #sohappy #totallyboughtatshirt

Found this gem while cleaning out my desk. Haha I loved that we didn't go to prom with boys. Also I'm pretty sure they instated a dress code after this year... #wasatchhigh #flashback #nottbt #prom #justusgirls #wedowhatwewant

A is for articulate which helps us understand M is how you motivate to be the best we can A is for your artistry which makes our group more fun N is for negotiate which gets our care plan done. D is for dependable your time and knowledge shared. A is our awakening because we know you care Amanda's absence will be felt throughout the halls of Pride. We hope that happiness and love be always by your side. This was what my clients presented to me on my last day at Pride. I cried. #wonderfulplace #wonderfulpeople #pride
