oh hail no

so after two flight cancellations

and more than my fair share of time spent in an airport,
i'm finally

HOME!

thank goodness.

here's to the next few months.
can't wait to get started.

on another wave, i just spent three amazing days in
california.
i love that state.
i wouldn't mind spending some time there.
or get married there.
or have my husband be from there.
or raise children there.
you know.

lazy days on the beach, long days under the sun.
too good to be true.
this one's for the girls.
can't believe that i'll be spending four long months away from my besties.
and two long years away from these babies.it's been a good run.
can't wait to be reunited in 2014.

geeze louise.

well as for me, i'll be enjoying a rice dish in bed while watching the lizzie mcguire movie.

i love being home.

rolling in the deep

2 days until CALIFORNIA
6 days until TEXAS
1 month until ERIKA COMES HOME
3 months until HAWAII
4 months to become a perfect HOMEMAKER and make a million DOLLARS.

ready...
set...
GO.

i gotta get through this

so i'm sitting in the library right now, dying to go home and get in bed and sleep myself all the way into next week. too bad that can't actually happen. i have two finals tomorrow, one on monday, two on tuesday, and then i'm free. but not really, in between all of the studying, i have to pack up my whole life and move it into my mom's cousin's house, pack for the texas heat, and pack for the lovely california. yes, i am making the trek to california next week wednesday. i am SO excited. i have not been to california for recreation in quite some time, so this is going to be quite the treat.
shopping, laying out, being on a beach, being with friends.
such a great way to end this amazing year.

as sad as i am to say bye to some of my best friends, i am more than excited for this upcoming year.
some things to look forward to:
eurika coming home!!!!! i miss my sister dearly.
family bonding time x ten thousand million bajillion.
getting a job and making bank.
being tan and feeling sunshine. i really do forget what this feels like.
swimming always. one word: mermaids.
hawaii.
the apartment life.
new people.
many many weekend trips.

so many things to cross off my life-list this year.
can't wait for the memories.

HERE COMES THE SUN!!!!

Seriously. I have been loving the sunshine so much. It was in the 70s this past week. But of course during the weekend, Utah decided to dump some snow on me. Sick joke. I'm ticked. Just when I start to pack up my winter clothes, it blizzards. Saturday I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and then Sunday morning I wake up to a winter wonderland. Ridiculous.

Anyway this summer I have a huge desire to sew and cook all the time. I don't know what's gotten into me. Maybe it's because I've been looking at pinterest every spare second I get. My goals are to become more of a homemaker and have more motherly instincts. Especially considering that I'll be kicking it in the big leagues next year. No more cannon center and dining plus for me. bummer.But seriously.


Look how cute this shower curtain is. Originally from Anthro, but you could totally make it. I just might tackle this baby this summer. We'll see.





If you haven't looked at pinterest, I highly suggest it.

I can spend hours on end on that website.
I'm fully obsessed now.
Enjoy.
