SLAKER

Dear blog and readers of the blog, I am so sorry that I haven't been posting. I haven't totally decided whether or not I am going to abandon the January challenge or not yet... I guess we will have to wait and see.  Life has been pretty boring and I've been pretty sick, so there hasn't been much too blog about.  I pinky promise I will be back soon. Until then... xoxoxo

DAY 5

Day 5-Your Definition of Love sorry, no picture today. 
Now this is a hard question. It's hard to some up what I think love is into words. If you would have asked me this question about 2 years ago, I would have had no clue how to answer. Although I am having a hard time putting words together now, I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what love truly is. I looked up the definition of love and this is what I found. 

love

ləv/

noun

1. 1.

   an intense feeling of deep affection

I totally agree with the definition above, but there is more to love than just what the internet says. In my opinion there are different types of love. There is the love you feel for your family. There is the love you feel for you friends. There is the love you feel towards a place or food type. etc. Out of all the different types of love, I feel like there is one type that stands above the rest. The love you feel for the person whom you're in love with.

I am head over heels for my boy and I know I love him. How do I know? Well, that's an easy one. I know I love Davis because I would do anything for him. He supports me in everything I do and I support him. He is there for me when no one else is. He gives me the best advice and genuinely wants what's best for me. He knows everything about me, I can tell him all my secrets and I have.

I feel like when someone trusts you enough to share their whole selves with you, that is love. Davis has trusted me with the most precious aspects of his life and I trust him with mine. 

When you love someone you put your whole heart into doing everything and anything to make them smile. I try my hardest everyday to make Davis happy and he does the same for me. His proves to me everyday that he loves me and I have no doubts about it.

This to me is true love. Love makes me feel happy, sad, angry, excited, nervous, and so much more, but it's all worth it. The feeling of love is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I love you all.

BEAUTIFUL UTAH

DAY 4

Day 4-What You Ate Today

Today I went out to lunch with Davis and my mama. Before heading the restaurant I remembered that today for the photo challenge I had to post a picture of what I ate today, but once I got there I spaced the picture... So instead of 'what I ate today' I'll show you where I ate today! 

We ate at this cute little Mexican restaurant called Taco Burrito. It is right next to Farr's by the University Mall and movie theater. I would recommend you try it out! I got cheese enchiladas and they were so yummy. We also got a side of guacamole for the chips and if you like good guac, you'll love theirs.

JANUARY PHOTO A DAY (DAYS 1-3)

I saw this photo a day challenge on my girlfriend's blog and decided that I want to take it on. Even though I am 3 days behind, I am going to just make up for lost time and post days 1-3 right now. YAY!

Day 1-Introduce Yourself

I am Erika Ann Mouritsen, born and raised in Utah. I am 18 years young. I graduated from Orem High School in 2013. I am a dancer. I love to choreograph and teach dance. I love good food and a good movie. I am crazy in love with a boy named Davis. I currently am living life day by day and loving it. 

Day 2-Your First Love

This right here is my current and first love. He has taught me so much about life. He has helped form me into the person I am today. I am CRAZY in love with this guy and I couldn't be happier. We've been together for one year and seven months now and it's been the best time of my life. He is the greatest boyfriend a girl could ask for and I don't know how I managed to get so lucky, but I am so thankful that I did. I LOVE YOU DAVIS CHANDLER ELISON.

Day 3-Your Parents

This is my mother Shelle. She is a great mom and is always there to support me. I am so thankful for her and for everything she has done for me. She seriously is a super mom. She is married to my step dad, Jeff, who is my second dad. He is amazing and I am also thankful for him.

This is my dad Eric (and my sister Laci). He lives in Nevada and we don't get to see each other often, but I am thankful for the times I do get to see him. Even though he isn't around, he still does all he can to be a great dad.

This January photo a day is going to be fun and I can't wait to post tomorrow.

Until then, XOXO!
