I've begun (is that a word? it doesn't sound right) to notice that I'm easily distracted. Even just watching the snow fall distracts me from very important homework that needs to get done. Its funny how computers are supposed to help make things get done faster but yet it causes more distractions which amounts to more time avoiding my aforementioned homework.
Also I'm dreaming about.....
I have wanted a picture of the Logan Temple forever now and I found this one that I really like. If only it wasn't so much money to have :( I even have the frame picked out that I want to go with it. sigh maybe one day.
I've started to realize that I really enjoy doing crafts I only wish I was better at it. I like looking up different crafts that other people are working on and try to recreate them with my own personal touch. I just finished making a fleece tie blanket, not very crafty but i still really like it. its way cute! I'll post pictures when my computer gets fixed :(
Some other projects I want to do is make cute headbands, a corkboard, picure frames, and other stuff that i can't think of right now. If anyone has any ideas of crafts let me know! :)
If any of you 3 readers were wondering...I do have a boyfriend :) ha ha and he turned 24 this year on August 7th. Happy Birthday Ian! The night before his birthday we watched a movie called brothers. The only good part about the movie was the cute little girl in it. On his birthday we woke up early...okay before noon and I made us delicious crepes! we mostly layed around the whole day then went to eat at olive garden for dinner and ate the cake and watched netflix. :) I love birthdays! Can't wait for birth month. Yep I celebrate the whole month of September.
I surprised him with tickets to one of our favorite bands...The Swell Season! they are awesome. I seriously wish i had half their talent. The concert was on a Sunday which kind of sucked but it was still a really good aside from the fact that I got fried from sitting out in the sun the whole day before. The concert was at Red Butte garden. You sit on the lawn and enjoy the concert. It attracted a lot of hippie type people. everyone seemed to be prepared, seriously! people had like 6 bottles of wine each, cutting boards and knifes, sandwichs, coolers, chairs, you name it they had it! I heart the swell season. They are one of my all time favorites. Okay anyways we enjoyed it!
I'm still a kid at heart. I LOVE the zoo. It seriously makes me happy although it makes me kind of sad at the same time. I know I wouldn't want to be locked up all day with people staring at me...awkward!
When I got to the zoo parking lot I had a great idea. Since I hate carrying a purse with me I decided it would be a great idea to just bring a few things with me and leave the purse in the trunk. What wasn't such a great idea was also locking my car keys in there too! luckily Ian had money so he could get us into the zoo until my brother came by with the spare key.
My favorite part of the zoo is definitely the Giraffes! I love them, they are just so cute. I collect anything I can that has the giraffe print on it or any giraffey things. So if you ever wonder what to get me..you can't go wrong with giraffe :) My least favorite part of the zoo is the spiders! ewwww they have the section with the skins of them and it totally grosses me out! plus they have a phobia section of the zoo with things that creep people out and Ian forced me to overcome by fear and just look at the truantula (too afraid to look up how to spell that) ha ha. Yep I can't even look at a spider without having nightmares. Gross!
The new baby elephant was also way cute! Loved that thing. One day I will ride one :)
I never have anything cool to say so I rarely update this so here is a whole month of my life. For the 4th of July Sam and I went up to visit family in Evanston. It was fun. I was stuck with 3 boys for the day but it turned out to be okay. We played a bunch of sports and of course played a little x-box. You can't hang out with many boys without x-box being involved. Am i right girls? The night of the 3rd we went to buy some Wyoming fireworks and shot quite a few off. One did go crazy though and got really close to the house and started a small flame. Since The 4th was on a Sunday this year we didn't really do much.
The next few weeks were pretty boring. I mostly just beat alot of mario kart wii. I was extra lonely cause Ian was in Alaska with no phone service :( sad week.
For the 24th I got to go hang in Logan. I finally got to see Ryan and Michelle's new place and i'm so jealous cause its super cute! We did more activities that weekend then i did in the whole month of July. Got a good deal on ice cream, free fudge and honey, went swimming (in the coolest pool ever!), went to the parade, played just dance and mario kart, ate pizza, got snow cones, did awesome sparler pictures and watched a movie. Good times!
I also got to see a few great movies. I highly recommond people go see Despicable Me. It was super funny and way cute! Also saw inception (pretty interesting) and dinner for schmucks (this one was way dirtier then i thouht it was going to be, so don't take little children just to be safe :)
I went shopping last weekend and found some sweet deals! I got 2 jeans for 60 dollars which usually cost me 80 so i thought it was good, 3 undershirts for the price of one and a way cute outfit thanks to head over heals. yay I love shopping now i'm all set for school!
My roomate for like 3 years also got married last weekend. I love her! She looked so pretty in her dress and I love what she did with her hair. I still miss living with her even though its already been 3 months since i have. But i'm still happy for them congrats Zach and Jenni.
I was barely home in the month of June. Sam and I were lucky enough to go on a church history tour. It was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about the "Pioneer" days and found it very interesting. The Doctrine and Covenants is so much more special to me now. This trip was also a great opportunity to spend time with my favoritest brother. <3 We went to Independence, Liberty jail, Far west, Nauvoo, Carthage jail, and Winter quarters. I liked every place we went to (minus i had a hard time enjoying it cause i felt aweful!) too hard to pick my favorite place. One thing I did love was catching fireflies! I had never been past Texas so it was a big surprise to see them...but i thought they were awesome. If you have heard any stories from us you know that we LOVED our tour guide. He was seriously so funny. Sam and I still quote him all the time. All in all it was a fun trip. I'm so glad we got to go.
I just realized that I have been slacking on my blog. May was a crazy month. I'll just highlight a few things.
One of my bestest friends Alex got married to his cute wifey Ashlee. I'm glad i got to go to the wedding they were so happy. I love them!
Then the not so good news came. My mom had been sick since January and we said goodbye to her on May 24th. That was the hardest thing I've been through. But with friends and family around it made it easier.
