Good news! I wear clothing. :)

Great news!

I wear clothes. Sometimes they are better than others. Here is today's outfit, let me know what you think. The cardigan is my favorite part. Or maybe the boots....

Dearest Lou has a bunch of giveaways going on on her blog right now! Check it out!

David and I had a five month anniversary yesterday. It was pretty boss, to say the least.

 We spent this morning at his house watching football, eating pizza, and basically being awesome.

Random-ness for today: 

This beautiful photo is of a fill-it-in puzzle. I'm mildly obsessed with them. They're pretty easy, but they gets the gears turning, and I like that. It only takes me about 5 minutes to finish one, and it's great stress relief. I'm pretty sure everyone should try them sometime. Not to be confused with a crossword. Much better. :)


As I am writing this I am listening to a live version of "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles. I feel like every song with the name Gravity is amazing, so below I have shared a few of them. Don't worry guys, they're only SUPER awesome. Try not to let your brain explode! =D

GRAVITY- SARA BAREILLES

GRAVITY- JOHN MAYER

Step 1: Listen

Step 2: Try not to cry

Step 3: Read my next post!

Until next time...    

Colorful Fridays (Letters&Fancies)

I was just reading over at Lattes&Love (Such a cute blog!)

and she talked about how she was having trouble getting back on a good writing schedule,

so she did a couple link ups. 

I'm going to thieve her idea!

Today is.....

Friday's Fancies

and

Friday's Letters 

The theme for Friday's Fancies this week is color blocking. I love the bold statement that color blocking gives off, but I don't really have the guts to try it... Maybe this will inspire me! 

Searching.......

Ta da!

This is what I came up with:

Some of the things I found in stores, and some were just pictures off of Google.

Top&Shoes: Charlotte Russe     Pants: Ruche   

I feel like I did a pretty decent job, considering I've never tried color blocking before. 

What do you think?

Quote by: My mother :)

Dear Mom, Thank you for being so loving and understanding. I honestly don't know what I would do without you. If I tried to list the number of things you've done for me in the past month alone, it would take me at least an hour. Dear Mapledell Scout Camp, I miss you so so much, and I'm very excited to come visit you tonight. Thank you for changing my life, and giving me the best summer ever (Summer 2011). Dear Precious Niece, I have a photo of you as my wallpaper on my phone, and every time I look at it, I can't help but smile. You're so perfect and happy, and adorable, and I love you. Dear David, I think I have a crush on you. Thank you for being my boyfriend even though I stress about everything, and I can be annoying and needy. Plus, I like your face. Dear New Roommate, You rock my socks. I'm so glad you're not a drama queen. Thank you for listening to my rants and raves, and making me feel better when I'm stressed about silly things. Dear Life, thank you for always being there for me. Even though you're really boring sometimes, I still love you. Please be nice to me even when I'm in school, I would really appreciate it.

I Prefer the Term "Professional Couch Sitter"

It has been almost a month since I last wrote. 

I've thought about it a billion times since then, but I just haven't gotten around to it. 

I could say that I was busy, or that I just didn't have any inspiration, but both would be untrue.

In all honesty, I just didn't feel like writing. 

But here I am! And maybe I'll get back into writing again. 

Just stinks when you start feeling like you're writing about unsubstantial things all the time. 

Another sad story: I still have not edited the photos from Seattle... 

I will edit at least 4 tonight to post, cause this nonsense is getting out of hand!

I do have a couple things I can write about right now, though.

Numero Uno:

David and I have been "officially" together for a month. 

Yay for "month-iversaries!" 

(I can take no credit for the term, that was all him.)

Taken at a blacklight partay!

Watching TV :)

My first concert!

I just noticed that I'm always on the left in our pictures. I wonder why that is. 

Have any of you guys noticed a pattern like this with your's?

Numero Dos:

My niece is just getting cuter and cuter every day! 

I could cuddle with her and take pictures of her chubby face all day!

She has cankles, and thunder thighs, and chubby cheeks, ugh!

It doesn't get any cuter than this!:

I am not currently interested in having my own baby, but I sure do love this one!!!

Numero Tres:

College starts in 2 months, and I am so nervous!

This will be my first semester going full-time and working full-time...

 ^That is my schedule for school and work.^

There's still some free time, but holy cow! I'll have time for homework and eating. 

I don't know if I can do this, but I've gotta try! :)

Anyone have any tips for keeping up with everything???

I'm also working on an essay for a scholarship application, and I'm nervous about that too.

All tips are welcomed!

 

Windy Enchiladas! Uhhh...?

Yesterday David and I went on a hike.

This is me before:

And this is us at the top:

Yeah, my hair says "it was really windy!"

David still looks super good, though. Which is a bonus, since he's the one I get to look at all day. :)

I know we're blocking the view in this one, so here's a picture of that too:

I often forget that, if you go to the right places, you can find trees in Utah. This hike helped with my spiteful, begrudging relationship with the state that I live in.

For dinner I made these delicious chicken enchiladas with random ingredients from my college fridge.

I was almost expecting for them to taste nasty, but they weren't!

Here's what I used:

3 tortillas

1 cup of chicken, cooked

4 oz of sour cream

1/2 cup of milk

3/4 cup of cheese

1/3 of rice, cooked

1/4 of flour

1/2 a small onion

I mixed together the sour cream, milk, chicken, rice, flour, onion, and an 1/4 cup of cheese.

Fill each of the tortillas, and place them in a buttered bread pan, side by side.

Put the rest of the filling on top of the enchiladas, and top them with the remaining cheese.

Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Remember  to add plenty of salt and pepper!

Letters from Washington ♥

 Dear me, you should probably try getting enough sleep someday, that might be awesome.

Dear David Terry, thank you for bringing me to Seattle to help with this wedding. You rock!

Dear David St. Armand, thank you for being so snuggly. Sleeping alone sucks, even when I'm have an awesome time in Seattle. 

Dear Seattle, you are the most beautiful place ever, and I would love to live here. Maybe someday...

Dear Kelsi & Danner (Bride and Groom), you guys are soooo cute! Thank you for choosing us as your wedding photographers and flying us from Utah. You've made my month!

Dear annoying teens at the Space Needle, I understand that you are very excited about the school dance, but you need not scream in my ear repeatedly.

Dear Canon 5D Mark II, you are fabulous. You make me look like an excellent photographer, and I will always love you. I wish I could keep you forever and ever, but sadly this is my last weekend with you. Until we meet again... Stay amazing.

Dear fellow bloggers, thank you for reading and giving me motivation to keep it up. I so look forward to new comments an emails!

Boys, Ballet, and Pupppppies!!! {Cup 1/2 Full}

This is me on Friday night. I was headed to visit a couple cute boys. ;P

The nicest thing about the texture of my hair, is that I can wear it wavy or straight, depending on how much of a hurry I'm in. (It's faster to wear it wavy.) All I have to do is put it into a few twists on my head, blow dry, let out the twists, gel, and voila! Fabulousity.

The first boy I went to see

was this little cutie. His name is Milo.

A couple months ago, I put in an adoption form with the Utah Sheltie Rescue. The owner, Barbara Edelberg, contacted me last Sunday, and said that she thought she might have a dog for me, so on Friday I drove to meet him!
SWEETEST PUPPY EVER!
When I arrived, I went to the back yard, and he didn't bark at me, or jump on me. He was very polite. Friendly, but reserved. Once I had some chicken meat in my hand, he came over and let me pet him and play with him. Turns out he knows how to sit, lay down, and come, which will make training really easy. The only concern is that his back leg seems to bother him ever ten minutes or so, but the rescue is having that x-rayed. :) I really like him, and I hope I can adopt him!

Who could resist that face?!

People who know me, or follow my blog know that the other boy I went to see on Friday was obviously David. Who also has an irresistible face, but isn't quite as hairy. :)

On Saturday, my little sister performed in the ballet "Gizelle." Not to be confused with the Gizelle from Enchanted. Completely different story.

Marina is such a beautiful girl, and an especially beautiful ballerina.

After the show, multiple strangers approached her and told her how beautiful of a dancer she was, and how prominent her stage presence is. This girl is going places. :)

Not only is she absolutely beautiful in appearance, but she is an incredible girl personality wise. Marina is not afraid to be who she is, ans she is one goofy girl!

Marina with her friend Heidi (Who brings out the sillliest parts of Marina)

Mom says she gets the goofy-ness from me, but I'm not so sure... ;)

Enough bragging about my sisterhood! This is starting to sound like an infomercial! 

Kirsten and I went shopping! And we looked cute!

And Kirsten was my favorite, cause she bought us matching sun glasses!

That's right, my friends, we rock shades. Indoors.... Ok, so the secret is out. I'm a terrible driver, and my license was suspended for a month, so Kirsten and I walked to the mall. Then to her house. Then back to my house (so we needed shades...). Then I ran to the light-rail station to catch a train to work this morning...
License suspension: BAD

Running and walking a ton: GOOD.

I'm gonna be so in shape by the end of this month!

Randoms from my weekend

Hey guys! I'm getting back into working out! It's called.... Brother lifting! :P I was feeling pretty buff, so I made my sister take a picture. 

(I love my family!!!!!)

Really, though, I am getting back on track with working out. I rain 2 miles this morning. Which felt like death, but I'll be so on top of it in a couple weeks!

This post is linked up with Cup 1/2 Full over at Finding Beauty in the Ordinary.

One question: Why does it have to be half full or half empty? I like to think that my cup is overflowing.

Just something to think about.

Cinco de.. AWESOME!!! ♥

When people are having a bad week/month/year, their biggest question is usually

"Why is my life so hard?"

My biggest question?

"How could my life possibly get any better?!"

This is my papa. He lives in California, but he was in town this weekend to see my brother and I. My brother just had a baby, and my dad finally got to meet his new grand baby. It was so good to see him, because I hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving. I have such good looking parents!

I bought this jumper about a year ago, and I LOVE it, but I've only had one chance to wear it since I bought it. Since today was warm, I had to pull it out!

I paired it with a white scarf, and my white flowery sandals. I actually bought those sandals and the scarf specifically to go with this outfit.

Jumper: CuteGirl.com     Scarf: 5.7.9   Sandals: Head Over Heels

I love this outfit because it is really comfortable, and super summery. The red is really fun, too, since I have fair skin and blue eyes!

Meet my cute 2nd cousin and her papa! She was such a ham for the camera!

RANDOMS

I went shopping today!!!!! (W/ David)

At the Gateway Mall. 

I bought myself these lotions from Bath and Body Works (which is probably my favorite store. I take great pride in how good I smell all the time.) My favorite is the Wild Berry Tulips.

I own close to 20 lotions from B&BW.

I also bought a new scent for my wall flower. (Carribean Escape)

I also bought some super cute stuff at Forever21 that will be featured in an outfit post ASAP.

The first store we went to was Anthropologie.

I was looking at all their cute furniture harware, and doorknobs, when I turn around and see this:

I giggled a little bit, then said "Don't move." and snapped a shot.

What a silly boy.

I don't like to get too personal, but I just wanted to let you know:

______________

Raisin cookies 

that look like 

chocolate chip 

cookies are the 

main reason I 

have trust issues.

Life is random, so am I!
