Springtime Fun-time.

So its been crazy warm here so far this week. Like 65 degrees! (I know. I can't believe I am calling that warm either. That is straight up coat weather in Mesa!) 

My friends and I had definitely caught a serious case of spring fever and decided to go have a picnic in the park on Monday. We bought sandwich fixings from the creamery which included bread, turkey, mayonnaise, and basically plastic american singles cheese (gross, I know, but our choices are limited) and headed out. 

It was beautiful weather. The sun was shinning and there was a deliciously warm breeze blowing. Perfect sunglasses and sandals weather. And it was. First time this year I have worn either of those. Basically it just made me ache for summer to be here. I want be tan and layout and go on vacation. I can't wait.

Better Late Then Pregnant!

So it's been a while. And a lot has happened. So this post might be a little bit on the spastic side... brace yourselves. I have come back to BYU for my second semester. GO COUGS! 

My family came skiing right after I came back to school and that was a lot of fun, even though there was no snow. 

The Allison. A classic.

Then it was time to sign contracts for apartments next year. AHH!! Scary right?? And somebody (Kass) thought it would be a good idea to camp out! Worst idea ever. Nobody slept because we had six girls ins a four-man tent and it was January so it was naturally freezing. I woke up--and I use that term lightly since we didn't really sleep--with frozen hair from the side of the tent. But the good news is we got our apartment! Mansion 22 baby!!

Tarleigh is legit with her head-lamp.

Don't we look so excited to camp??

Then we had a super awesome ward activity at this tubing place in Heber. It was a blast... until it started snowing when had to drive home through the canyon. I was safe in Kass's little blue bug, but we did have a couple kids spin out and crash into eachother. But still a super fun activity. 

These big events are a blast, but what makes college fun on a day to day basis are the little things. I now it sounds sappy but its true. We are just silly.

Gotta love Jordan's BYU Christmas stocking shoes!

I'm a Who from Whoville!

And about the title? I was going to write better late then never but this popped into my had from this funny thing I read on Facebook. Its little kids finishing popular sayings. Enjoy.

Hawaii

I posted a while back about how I burned my finger on the curling iron and I thought it looked like Hawaii. Here is the picture again for anyone who is super lost.

So my mom read that and called me today and jokingly said it was a sign that we are supposed to go to Hawaii. Well I won't argue with that! Get planning Mom!

Beautiful Na'pali Coastline

I have gotten so many compliments about my feet this week that when I saw this picture it made me giggle. And I had to put it up because the black sand is so cool!

First day of Fall.

Happy Fall everyone!! I have always really enjoyed fall because the leaves turn colors and the weather is nice and crisp. I remember the first time my parents took me to Flagstaff to see the fall leaves (since fall doesn't hit in the valley for the three total trees that drop their leaves till January) and the mountains looked like they were red and orange because there was leaves everywhere. It was so pretty against the white bark of the aspens. My favorite memory of fall, though, is definitely from last October when my family took a trip to Chicago. One of the highlights for me was one afternoon when we took our lunch to a park and ate in the shade of the beautiful orange and red trees. We started to collect leaves just to show our favorites to each other but we collected so many that we loved so much that we stuck them all in a book and took them home with us, along with about 5 pounds of acorns. I arranged them in some decorative jars we have at home and they were beautiful reminders of our trip and of what is was supposed to look like out side (haha). I wish we could have kept them up forever. I love fall! 

I want to live here so I can stare at this everyday.
