My baby sis left me for the Key West.

I don't totally blame her for a number of reasons namely:

I'm in Utah and its winter.

She has been blogging it has made me realize I've missed the blogging world.

Here is a little update of my exciting life.

October

I love Fall but, I'm not a huge Halloween fan. Dance parties. dressing up like a hoe. and chili are not high on my list (although Hokus Pokus gets me everytime)BUT I'll have you know I loved this year.

That is right

{Rock. Paper. Scissors}

November

Thanksgiving was filled with family and friends! Best.Thanks.ever.

{with my favorite little girlies}

December

Brings Memories of: Ice skating. Nephews. Family&Friends. Frantic shopping. Game nights. Baking. And Nienie.

January

Has given me high hopes for a fabulous New Year! I LOVE January. I love setting goals. I love looking at the pass year and I LOVE looking at the future.

Here's to HAPPY 2012 :)
{If you want a happy future, start living happy now}

2012-01-12T10:25:00.000-07:00

I had a much needed hair appt yesterday.

Touch up on the color.

Maybe some chopping.

BUT

When you're offered tickets to the Jazz VS Lakers game...

YOU'VE GOT TO RESCHED.

in case you were wondering

2011-10-19T20:10:00.000-06:00

i've never been one to schedule my week around t.v. shows.
like ever.

okay other than Gossip Girl.

Well and i once was obsessed with Grey's Anatomy.
when i say obsessed...really there is no other word to use to describe well, maybe addicted.
i stopped for a few good reasons namely: my health.
1. i stayed up way to late so...
2. i wasn't sleeping.
3. my social life my have lacked some
and
4. i even started to think about changing my major my senior year of college for very valid reasons...
...my medical terminology and i could diagnose anything from a broken leg to bronchitis! pure talent.

So one day i stopped cold turkey and in the middle of a season too.

Thanks to my bff I now have netflix on my phone.
Do you know what this means?!
My time at the gym lately has consisted of me catching up.
I am one happy gym-go-er.

It's been awhile since i've been to the gym.
When i say a while i mean a long time.
like a month in a half.

SO tell me you secrets.
What keeps you a happy gym-go-er?!

warning: this post might be a little out there

2011-10-05T21:50:00.007-06:00

There are just some things that I will be better at than my future Mr.

You know, when I become a Mrs.

Anyway.

There are just a few things I can think of that shouldn't be a problem but they are valid concerns of mine.

I live in the center of Utah County.

Judge me.

I have found that sometimes it can be difficult to tell whether some guys are straight or not.

... I'm not sure if guys realize that we girls can't tell but i feel like that should be a concern for them. no?

a little bit freaky.

So,

I will have better style.

Style is something that is changeable so it's really not a deal breaker

...i mean unless he is a better dresser than me. I just do not see it working.

I will be better at tennis.

Well, I don't have to be completely better because some competition is completely necessary.

Last and certainly not least:
I will have better hair.

Today on lunch break I waited for a boy to cross the street...His hair was

1. longer than mine (so immediately jealous)

2. He had an awesome natural hair color.

3. beautiful curls.

...Long story short, if he was a girl, I would have lusted after her hair.

I just feel like this is not too much to ask for.

Right?

Stand By Me

2011-10-04T20:45:00.001-06:00

I realize there are some of you out there who are not fans of youtube.

and to be honest, i'm not a huge fan either

But there are some funny, as well as, inspirational things out there.

This summer i made some new friends (crazy, i know) and some nights we watch more youtube then one could handle.

This could be old news but I was introduced to Playing For Change.

Stand By Me.

One of my favorites, what do you think?!
I know you love it.

Happy Tuesday!!!

moving on

2011-10-02T22:52:00.001-06:00

I've deactivate facebook before and I've had many good reasons

but I am always talked into getting it back.

Friday I decided to deactivate it for good and for no super great reason,

other than for me, it's a waste of time.

My thinking was valid and it's not like it was an irrational thing to do.

I mean it's just facebook, right?

...

I thought that maybe

I would get a lot more reading done.

maybe more blog posts?

time doing things that I just "don't" have time for.

...ya right.

So my facebook replacement has been online shopping.

I have issues. This was never in the plan. What is my problem?

pintrest

I truly believe that

we make time for those things in our life that we want in our life.

So, I've made some new goals.

I l.o.v.e. making goals. For real.

Try it.

and remember,

A goal unwritten is merely a wish.

Write it down.

Check it off.

It feels great.

xoxo

lovely

2011-10-01T15:25:00.000-06:00

Have you ever got your hair done and afterwards been like...

omg I should have paid him/her more!!!

Me either...

until YESTERDAY!!!

seriously, you guys don't even understand(or maybe you do?).

I have waited so long to find a replacement and I have finely found her.

I just had to share how happy it makes me.

google+

2011-09-30T13:49:00.000-06:00

I'm slightly annoyed because I'm trying to make a new email account with google...of course. Anyways, everything somewhat professional with my name in it is taken. any suggestions?
...Other than gettings married so I can have a new last name?

Side note. Is everyone a fan of Google+ My only issue so far has been adding everyone in Salt Lake County. whops. Other than that, I'm loving it.

The first weekend in October is my favorite and for many reasons but namely just two.
1. I feel like fall is officially here.
and

2. General Conference.

Happy Friday

break.

2011-09-27T17:55:00.001-06:00

do not judge me... I'm not sure what just happened to my blog...but I have got to figure things out.
maybe, It's been a rough day...actually it hasn't at all. Today I slept in, helped my mom bake cookies and I didn't go into work until noon.

AND on a even happier note...

1. I'm getting my hair done on Thursday.
2. I'm super excited for this Utah Blogger PaR-tee.
3. Summer is still here.
and

4. I played play with my sister all weekend long.

5. Rumor has it: the Iphone5 comes out October 12.

I guess I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I really miss the blogging world. xoxo

obsessed

2011-09-07T19:58:00.000-06:00

My current obsession.

Rose Gold.

So I have been needing this Michael Kors Rose Gold watch for like ions now, it's getting a little ridiculous.

Today as I was pinning, I found my wedding ring.

So future husband, if you are reading this...

Take a look.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Bentley

2011-09-05T13:36:00.000-06:00

I met Bentley Williams.

Love him or hate him...and go ahead and judge me

BUT

I would have let him have me.

He shook my hand and apologized for the show. wtish?

I played the to cool for school card and just shrugged my shoulders.

oh and did I forget to mention we're neighbors?

okay not complete neighbors but he doesn't live far.

lovemylife.

Today I feel: GRATEFUL

2011-09-05T12:31:00.000-06:00

This weekend I was reminded of how blessed I am with such an amazing family and wonderful friends.

I became an aunt again to baby McCoy who is just the most adorable little bean ever.

Congrats Kurty and Jen

They make the most beautiful babies. (I don't think it should be allowed.)

My BFFs came for a minute this weekend.

Yay for Cara&Missy coming down from Logan.

Dan coming from Texas.

Kara, Chicago.

Jessica, Colorado.

Blaine, California.

&Ally thank you for living with me for forever!!

(BTW Ally's b.day is tomorrow.)
She says she's not a birthday diva...but we all have a little bit of it in us.

make sure to give her some love :)

I love every ounce of each one of these people...

We are so cute. It almost makes me sick.

Happy Labor Day!!!

Ms. Bloggers

2011-07-22T22:39:00.007-06:00

As I sit here to update ya'll I literally feel sick because it has been like ~~a month~~ forever.
Some of you (Katie) have threatened to unfollow me. Other's of you have asked me to come back.

And all those haters(katie :))/lovers:

I have truly missed you, so I'm back!

I keep thinking of the song Ms. Jackson by OutKast...

I am aware that it is annoying,

also, i am a freak and for real searched in youtube:

Outkast- Ms. Jackson...blogger style

go ahead laugh at me

and

if you were wondering they don't have one for bloggers
(otherwise I would have posted it and nothing else)

for real:

I'm so sorry its been forever!

BUT if you have been wondering, Here is what I have been up to:

For starts can I just say, July is been the b.e.s.t. month e.v.e.r.?!

I don't want to make anyone jealous b u t : I have my own desk, a phone with my name on it and an extension to reach me at, and a comfy spinning chair. That is right people. I have what some may call, a j.o.b.

Cara came home from college, graduated from EAC and turned 21!!! can I get a whoopwhoop!!
and
Conrad, Jamie and the girls moved home for the month. hollllllllllla!

Having sister's home/being home with family is the b.e.s.t thing ever.

I went back for a visit to my old stomping ground to see my friends.

Rexburg will always have a special place in my heart, and I'm not just saying that.

I went to Park City for a girls weekend with some of my old roomies. We shopped, had many late nights and ate more than necessary. But let's be serious, one of the most fun weekends ever.

Ally came over from NJ to visit. I had just started working so I was boring but I loved having her visit!
and Miss Melissa came over from Texas too! We went to dinner and caught up on probably more than what was needed :)

Cara and I went to Moab. We went rafting and then to the Arches National Park. oh my goodness. For real.
If I lived in China, I would fly to Utah just to see this. It was amazinggg.

Isn't summer wonderful?

Summer has reminded me of some things I am so grateful for like;

family. old friends and new friends. late summer nights. the drive in. snow cones. road trips. yard work. sunshine. trees. weekends. tennis. shade. love. big sunglasses. sandals. fireworks. health. music.

and neon pink nail polish.

Claire, Cara and I have been friend since for real: 3rd grade. cute right?! :)

Seriously, I have zero complaints. Life is good. and I love you all.

Good Life

2011-06-07T15:48:00.000-06:00

I just had to share because I thought it was so funny.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Granola

2011-06-01T21:36:00.001-06:00

I think it is a big possibility that if I didn't enjoy being so girlie I would be completely granola.

for real though.

My mom and I went on a hike in our backyard...

{not completely our real backyard but pretty much...if you're picking up what i'm putting down}

It was beautiful and green and the most perfect weather.

Hiking just might be my new favorite activity for the summer.

Any suggestions of places to hike around Utah?!

{look at the valley. awesome? awesome.}

How was your memorial day? I woke up to snow on the porch...

BBQ inside wasn't what I had pictured but it was still wonderful!

I worked in the yard today with my mom and learned some things about gardening.

As awesome as working in the yard is, I will be hiring my own gardener one day.

There is just so much to gardening, I don't think I will ever be able to get it all down.

happy Wednesday to all!!!

xoxo

Wardrobe Wednesday: feet.

2011-05-25T20:32:00.000-06:00

You would seriously think that I was working full time with the lack of love I have been given my blog lately. Don't worry, it's not true. I mean, I am working temporarily but I am still searching...

{for those of you wondering :)}

My mom came home today!!! Finally :) Being the mom of the house is rough work.

She brought me what I still have yet to take off.

I love them so much I had to make it my wardrobe wednesday. obviously. right?

{shoes: toms, jeggings: Target, anklet: friendship via melissa and ally}

These are my TOMS

I will be wearing them daily.

They are bombdotcom.

You should get some too.

Are you watching American Idol? Ya...TLC performing? No Scrubs? I forgot about those days.

How about Memorial Weekend coming up...um this weekend?!

Summer is here people and it makes me happy.

Today it was 67' and I was h.a.p.p.y.

Smile. Be Happy. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!!!

xoxo

2011-05-19T07:53:00.004-06:00

Happy Thursday!!!

I am over here today so go take a look.

Please, Thank You and Have a Wonderful Day!

xoxo

wardrobe wednesdays.

2011-05-18T21:39:00.001-06:00

I'm watching american idol right now. dvr is the best thing EVER invented. laundry is in the dryer and it has been a long day. did i mention i am a mom? a working mom to be exact. straight up. my mom left my dad and me at home while she is in AZ. Therefore my hot wifey points have been racking up this past week with cleaning, baking, watering flowers etc. i still refuse to sweep{sorry mom} but i do know what a vacuum is.

{cardigan: gap. tank: jcrew ring: F21 jeans: gap}

I had a super cute hairdo today with the intentions of showing you and i really thought it would hold up okay for eight hours...

obviously i was wrong, but do you get the gist-of-it?

...American Idol just reminded me how much I love Beyonce. She is seriously beautiful.

sidenote: I have been terrible lately at keeping up with all y'all's blogs. I have a lot of catching up to do and I realize this, SO Don't think I have forgotten about you!

Happy Wardrobe Wednesday!!

xoxo

complaints

2011-05-17T21:58:00.001-06:00

i swear i'm not usually one to complain.

i mean...sometimes i might be a little dramatic?

but today i am being real.

This is my phone and it broke.

when I touch it, it doesn't do anything.

I can only press the send & end button.

Thank goodness for warranty / insurance.
I never really realized how much I not just use my phone but actually need my phone.

I was also reminded that I eligible for an upgrade.

hollllllla!

Do you know what this means?

Let me show you :

not for a while BUT it will be happening sometime.

I feel like this would complete my busy, hectic, life that I have.

I could schedule:

my workouts.

blogging.

skype dates.

and vacations.

Those of you that have the iphone...

You love it right? No complaints?

Remember how blogger went down?

It couldn't have possible gone down at a more terrible time.

All of you sweet friends who commented of books to read...

would you mine suggesting again? :)

oh and those of you who suggested hair ladies, thank you!!!

I found one I will be going to. Thank you Meghan!

Happy Tuesday, hope you're ready for Wardrobe Wednesday tomorrow!

lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove you all.

{for real.}

wardrobe wednesday!

2011-05-11T23:35:00.000-06:00

I swear I got dressed today. Things just got a little busy and before I knew it, it was seven o'clock and time to go to a meeting, got home just before ten and well lets just say...yoga pants are a must anytime after seven.

so...Take it or leave it :) but here is my Wardrobe Wednesday!

I am awesome. I realize this.

{sweatshrit: the north face yoga pants: target}

Am I the only one who finds Glee to be amazing?

I am being serious when I say I enjoy Don't Stop Believing by Glee more than Journey.

Is that wrong?

Also, last night Glee singing Rolling in the Deep, love it just as much as Adele.

and I absolutely LOVE Adele.

I need a trim and some color asap but problem my hair lady lives in Idaho.

I have considered roadtripping it up to take care of this issue but I need to find someone here anyway.

SO suggestions of super awesome hair people would be much appreciated

and not to be too picky but between the area of SLC and Provo would be the best thing ever.

oh and ...I am kind of shady when it comes to reading.

I am not into vampires, wirzards and well really just any type of fake things.

Some people think this is funny,
Some say I don't have an imagination,
but I really enjoy Self Help books...

{Have you read Leadership and Self Deception? This book will change your life. promise.}

and I love to read about real things, history, people..etc.

I need a good book for this weekend. Your thoughts are very much welcomed :)

don't forget to see what Ally is wearing!!!

Happy Hump Day! yay for Almost the weekend!!!!

xoxo

{Ally, are you picking up what I'm putting down?}

oh and...

I mean seriously maybe one day i'll think of something else to blog about but until then..sorry?!

Today, my super cute nephew played with me.

Do you have nieces and nephews? I mean seriously the b.e.s.t. thing ever.

Agree or Agree?!
