TACO BELL

Dear Taco Bell,

I love you.
You make my tummy happy.
Except for when I eat too much....
like today.

I hope that we always stay the best of friends.

Love Always,
Danielle Malloy

If Taco Bell could read I would give him this letter.

Today is a looong eight hour workday....
I had to open at 10:00 am and I have to close at 6:00 pm.
For lunch I went to TACO BELL!!!!!!

Around 1:30 pm I hung a sign on the store door that says,
"Gone to Lunch!! Be back Soon!!"
I hopped on my bicycle and rode just around the corner to the local taco shop :) ha!
Thinking I was starving, I ordered a soft shell taco, a hard shell taco and a chicken burrito.
I put the goods in my backpack and peddled as fast as I could back to the store.
Mmmmmm....it sure was delicious!!
Now, I have a small food baby, but it's not too big because I have to save the big ones for when Tyler's with me. Tyler likes it when I have a food baby. haha.

He also likes it when my Alien Jesus Baby is awake.
Is that sac-religious? yes, I believe that it is..... OOPS!!

My Alien Jesus Baby is sooo much fun though! He talks so loudly and rumbles my tummy!!

He comes alive the most when he's super hungry! Like when we're in line for TACO TUESDAY at CAFE RIO. YUMMMMMMMMM

bestie's p.h.o.t.o. shoooooot...

My senior year at BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL was coming to an end.
...bittersweet-ness...

"We’ll always remember the blue and the white

And the faces so tender and dear.

We’ll always remember the stars in the night

That shine on our campus so clear.

We’ll always remember the laughs and the smiles

And the struggles and sorrows and tears.

But though we may travel o’er many strange miles

We’ll always remember in May and September

Bingham High as our happiest years. "

I definitely laughed and I definitely smiled.
While at Bingham High School I kept old friends and made the best new ones.

Struggles, sorrows and tears. Oh were there many. Friends can make your day wonderful, but boy can girls be nasty. My friends and I had our fair share of drama.
(struggles, sorrows and tears).
BUT we always worked it out, and we always came out STRONGER in the end.

As graduation crawled closer and closer, my best friends and I wanted to do something that would solidify our high school memories. Something we could keep forever. Close to our hearts.
We found an adorable woman. Annie West. We got all dolled up and she took us to downtown Salt Lake City. After hours of driving around, laughing, being SiLlY and taking ADORABLE pictures, I felt so wonderful!! Here I had three of my best-est friends in the world and we had just made memories that will last us a lifetime.

ROCHELLE
Rochelle is the strongest girl I know. No matter what crap is handed to her, she always finds a way to pull through. She has the most adorable, contagious and joyous laugh in this world. Rochelle has been my longest best friend I've ever had and I know it will stay that way FOREVER.
"Love Ya Like A Sis!"

CHRISTIE
Christie and I have sooooo much in common. I have always been able to relate to her on a level unlike any other. Christie and I can hang out for hours on end and never get sick of each other.
Christie is such a peacemaker. She has the amazing quality of thinking things through before she says anything. Christie couldn't hurt a fly if she tried. :)

DEVAN
Devan has the cutest smile of my life. She definitely lights up a room when she walks in. She has always been such an amazing example to me of kindness, compassion, forgiveness and righteousness. When I feel like my hope is gone, Devan has a way of making me feel like everything's going to be okay.

I am soooo blessed to have these girls as my BEST FRIENDS.

Summer Decisions....

This summer has been one of the hardest, yet most exciting of my life! During the last couple months of high school I was presented with the opportunity to move to North Logan for the summer. My oldest sister Carolynn and her husband invited me to move into a room in their basement.

Pros:
I would get to spend more time with Carolynn and her family.
I would be living away from home for the first time.
I would get to spend more time with my older brother Darrell before he gets married on August 14th.
I would get to spend more time with Tyler.
I would get to spend the summer in beautiful Logan city.



Cons:

I would be without a car for the summer.
I would have to find a job.
I would be without my mom, dad and little sister Claire.
I would spend less time with Rachel's family and Kelly's family.
I would be paying ALL of my own bills.
I would be away from all of my AMAZING friends in South Jordan.




As you can see, there were definitely plenty of pros and cons to this huge decision. I stewed about it for months! I asked everyone I respected for their opinion...... I prayed and fasted about it multiple times.....I talked about it a lot with my mom and dad. And Carolynn. And my friends. Finally it hit me, either decision could be the right one. There was no right or wrong decision. I would be happy either way. After MUCH thought I finally decided to move to Logan city!




The last couple weeks of high school I packed up my room and moved only two days after graduation! I started my new job two days later at Select Satellite. Since I am without a car, I ride my handy-dandy bicycle to and from work everyday! Now that we're getting into late July it sure is getting quite toasty riding home from work at six o'clock in the afternoon! I definitely do my share of complaining, but regardless, I don't regret my decision to move to Logan for the summer.




Summer School.... Oh the joys of summer school. This is my third summer in a row!! Through Salt Lake Community Classes most classes are offered either over and eleven week period, or an eight week period. This summer I chose to do the eight week program. I started my three classes a week after graduation and I'll be done the first week in August!! Only two weeks left! Then I'll be done right in time for Darrell and Emily's wedding on August 14th! I can't wait for my three weeks of
PURE SUMMER!!
How summer is SUPPOSED to be!




Don't take me wrong, this summer has been wonderful. I've had lots of time to grow and strengthen relationships and I feel that I have grown as an individual as well. I've become more responsible and independent and I really feel like I'm ready for the college life!
