What I want

I just want to drink pumpkin spice steamers all day long, and watch cheesy Christmas movies with you. I want to go ugly sweater shopping with you. I want you to hold my nervous hands. I want to be surrounded by friends who truly care about me. I want someone to come sit with me and ask me about how my life is. I want to laugh and smile as easily as I used to. Mostly, I want someone in my life who gets my language just as perfectly as you do.

Some recent faves

Homecoming Parade

On Saturday morning, the roomie and I and some friends went to the Homecoming Parade on Main Street! I haven't been to a parade in well over a year, and the last time I was at one, I was waving from a sweet float. Saturday, we got TONS of candy, free Snow College snapbacks, glow sticks, balloons, otter pops, popcorn and all! It was so fun to celebrate something-anything!
I also ran into the street half a dozen times to grab tootsie rolls that were thrown a little too short of our spot. No shame. I am a kid at heart.

Now....I think I'll be sending some of those extra tootsie rolls to my toots in Hawaii :) Expect a package soon my lovelies :)

This is the post-parade selfie! Love you Jujifruit!

We are poor students. So we use what we have to workout :)

I need to remember this

 

Feelin' Special

I  am SOO happy that my best friend Rashelle came to visit me this weekend, just 2 short weeks before she leaves to serve a full-time LDS mission.
Rashelle helped me get through my first year of college, with insanely terrible roommates, social anxiety, & need of rides home. She added many needed hugs and much laughter to my life.

This weekend, we got to:
Split a wrap in the cafeteria for the last time.
Go to my Institute Choir social and play Wink and Ultimate Spoons.
Party Hardy to One Direction & The Backstreet Boys at our last Institute Dance! (These were our thing Freshman year!)
Do some Sister Missionary bargain shopping at the Downeast Outlet in town.
Eat an entire DEEP DEEP DISH pizza for lunch.
See Monster's University in 3D. (SOO FUNNY!)

Thanks for the memories Rashelle. :) I know you're going to be the best, most sincere, happiest, funnest missionary and companion out there. Denver earnestly calls your name! Love ya baybay.

Two of my favorites: Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift

Everything can kill you these days.

It does seem that way, doesn't it? I can relate to this funny post that my chemistry teacher showed our class, because as a child, I had a lot of irrational fears. The point my teacher made to the class was that the media tends to strike fear in the hearts of everyone about everything! Anything can be twisted and said in a way to make us believe it. Don't forget to think for yourself.

I don't know when I lost my mind...maybe it was every time you said, you said you say that "I miss you"

Freaking miss you

Fall in love with yourself

Al Fox

People-you gotta look up this girl, Al Fox. She is an incredibly inspiring convert to the LDS Church though covered in tatoos, is a strong and committed Mormon who has learned a lot about judging others and why it's so important to not do so! She tours around the Western US speaking at firesides, Efy's and other functions. I absolutely love these quotes by her.

Yes, I do believe it does.

Bruno freaking Mars.

This is basically the coolest thing I've ever seen.
