there are just way too many things that i want right now. this is not good. especially since i'm supposed to be saving money for my study abroad. eek. i am getting a tax return here in the near future... so we'll see :)
top- left to right
1. super cute canvas mary-jane flats from UO. ah, don't they look comfy?
2. PUBLIC bike. these bikes are amazing. i need one.
3. a new ipod. i have the very first video ipod. let's just say it's about to give up the ghost.
4. a nice watch. like this michael kohrs watch from nordstrom. drool. bottom- left to right
5. a europe friendly camera bag. one i can stash my DSLR, snacks, and other various purse things.
6. these adorable burlap toms.
7. photoshop. and maybe some photoshop help books.
i hate having the mentality of i want, i want, i want. i sense trouble in my financial future. watch out, bank account.
i think i would have enjoyed this monday more if it hadn't snowed, again. come on.
awkward:
today, i dropped an avocado that i was about to cut up and eat. i apologized. i think it felt better.
a couple months ago, my roommate and i were creepin on this couple through our kitchen window. we waited 20 minutes for him to kiss her. we cheered, then we went to bed. if you decide to have your moment outside our kitchen window, beware, we will creep on you.
i always seem to get my hair caught on the seatbelt or the car door. it happens at least once a week, without fail.
the awkward moment of standing off to the side and smiling awkwardly while your friend talks to someone you don't know.
awesome:
the awesome girly sleepover i had friday. junk food. princess diaries. painting nails. 3 am. best friends.
during that sleepover, while we were talking in the dark, kelsey lit up her phone and said 'lumos'. we pretty much peed our pants over that.
3 1/2 weeks of school left. can i get a woohoo?
scoring at target on friday: awesome chambray shirt, cute wedges, and a cross body purse.
8 years ago today, my brother left this world. he left his disease behind and i know he is now walking and serving our Lord on the other side. though he may not be physically here, we all feel him close. he is continually involved in our lives and sends special people our way when we need it most. we love you and miss you, brandon.
you guys. there is something living in our room that keeps biting my hands. for the past week i have been waking up to 2-3 new bites on my fingers. they start out looking like a wart (which i probably get one wart every year or so), then they get red and swell to the size of a pea. this has got to stop. so i sent a lovely little email to our management company so they could kindly fix this little problem. after emailing this picture, we set up for the bug man to come on friday.
gross gross gross. i gag every time i look at my hands. don't worry friends, there are twelve more where that came from.
now, how about something aesthetically pleasing with a quote? and a good song? here you go.
you know what day it is? monday. that's right. monday moments.
awkward:
the other day, i saw a couple jogging. holding hands. holding hands and jogging. wow.
sneezing after you have just finished that coat of mascara. this. makes. me. so. mad. hello raccoon eyes, now let's start over.
the fact that i still don't know the first sentence of our fight song. Rise all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe. i'm not even sure how the tune goes.
the weather today. come on. i did not enjoy the rain/snow mixture. neither did my toms.
speaking of toms, while we were in vegas, a bird pooped right on my shoe. it nearly got my bare skin. did i mention we were inside? in a hotel?
awesome:
i have been ten times more fun this semester than in any other semester. we've gone to vegas for the MWC, california, and recently, park city.
i got to see jimmer break his record against new mexico in vegas. 52 points, yeah!
park city quick trip. junk food. hot tub. watching it's kind of a funny story, pretty in pink, and benny and joon. staying in our pj's til 4 pm.
see that ferris wheel? yeah, that's the london eye. need i remind you?
throughout the years, i have been lucky to have a family who takes me traveling with them. and i could not love it more. i've been thinking back on the places i've been, and i realized i have seen 3 wonders of the world! (photo credit to myself, thank you... besides that last one)
1. the pyramids of giza
2. the leaning tower of pisa
3. the colosseum
and this summer, i will be seeing a fourth one!
stonehenge!
man, i am one lucky kid.
and here's some harry potter wisdom for you. you know you love it.
i'm seriously loving this song. what beautiful lyrics:
'true love will find you in the end'
"This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking will it find you Cause true love is searching too But how can it recognize you Unless you step out into the light?"
"The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for... Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined... Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination." -one tree hill quote.
alright, it's time for a little confession session. beware, followers, this may start happening at least once a month.
1. i'm having a craving to ride a beach cruiser...by the beach. in a skirt and sandals (a skirt, really? has anyone ever done that? maybe it's just spring fever).
2. i saw the preview for disney's prom and now i'm dying to see it. and this movie, also by disney. doesn't it make you want to cry?
3. cinnamon toast crunch. i have a major problem with this cereal. you know the family size box? i can go through that in a week tops. a week, my friends. i'm gross.
4. i still want to see 'never say never'. i don't know what it is about justin bieber that makes me want to hug him and kiss his little cheeks. but i want to.
5. i have a secret talent... i know how to find/keep good (ahem, great) friends. seriously. they know when i need hugs, diet coke, chunky monkey, and chocolate. i love them dearly.
6. why do i love weddings/wedding blogs so much? i seriously think i was a wedding planner in a previous life. love weddings too? check out these lovelies. here, here, and here. ooh, and here. and there's more where that came from. (and i am definitely not hinting at anything, friends. believe me).
7. i really wish that i had time to take some photography classes. i would love to learn how to properly use my SLR camera and learn how to work photoshop.
8. i'm still obsessing over the student section flash mob. i know, it's getting annoying. mentioning it three posts in a row...seriously?
9. i can't wait for london. i'm seriously bursting at the seams with excitement. what am i most excited for? drinking tea in little china cups. then i will say, i'm drinking tea in london!
10. i love pedicures. but when they get that little foot scrubber out.... man. i am a squirmy, giggly child. i wish i wasn't so ticklish.
oh, i love finding a new artist. meet jesse woods. love jesse woods.
this picture. guys. look at my face. it says: i'm trying to look like i'm having fun, but i think i might have peed my pants in terror... too good not to share. (can you tell we are doing YMCA?)
the fact that i was sleeping with my eyes open on a short car ride while in california. eyes open.
when young students in love cuddle in class. seriously people, i'm trying to learn the teachings of paul, and you nuzzling in front of me makes it hard to concentrate. stop.
when security guards at the airport tell me to have a nice flight and i answer, 'you too!', then walk away thinking, wait...
this weather. seriously.
awesome:
the fact that i turned my AC on last week. yeah, last week. hello again, seat warmers.
getting my hair washed by someone else. i just love when they massage my scalp, making me fall asleep in the chair. also, doesn't it seem cleaner when someone else washes it? i think so.
the win that byu had over wyoming. and that the knights won state. and the jazz won. woo basketball!
flash mob. so what if i've watched these videos 100 times. it was epic.
my friends. best people in this world. period.
VEGAS this weekend for the MWC! go cougs!
i hope it's a good week for everyone!
and lucky you, you get a playlist of four songs! woo!
i was a participant of the flash mob that went down today at the marriott center. coolest thing ever, people. we practiced before the game and performed during the last five minutes of the game. most everyone was doing the dance, so it made it extra cool. take a look:
we even got a standing ovation from pres. samuelson (among others). hopefully some better videos come out soon so you can all partake in the awesomeness.
yeah jimmer, i feel the same way. today, my cougs took the mountain west conference title. *insert fist pumping here*. it was also senior day, meaning it was the last home game our precious seniors would be playing. sad. we played a great game against wyoming and said goodbye to logan magnusson, jackson emery, and the super awesome jimmer fredette. we will miss you guys.
also, the lone peak knights won state against our rivals, the american fork cavemen. 'we are the knights and we are the best and we DID conquer!'
