The BIG question. . .

What does that even mean!?

Summer

If you take a close look at this picture you can see how my finger are double jointed. Some of my close friends know this about me, I can not put my hand flat, it curves up or under. For some reason I love this picture. A friend and I were laying out on the grass at BYU ( they have the best grass, and on a SAturday afternoon no one is there). We were talking about life... here are a couple things that are going on in my life right now.
- I am not going to law school ( ever? not sure... it is on hold)
- I am not staying for a boy... I am staying because I want to
- I do not work for Heritage Makers anymore, I love the product and the company, but I needed a change
- I start my new job at Wells Fargo very soon
- I am excited/ nervous/ sick about this new chapter in my life. Graduated, single and happy
- I plan on taking multiple adventures ( if you want in, let me know)
- I plan on being happy, not over analyzing and taking everyday as it comes

I am . . .

I am trying to change (to a certain degree) gotta make life fun for everyone else right?

Road Map

This is the map I am following lately....

Maybe.. just maybe

I could go here, with a camera, a blanket and a picnic.

Lauren's Anatomy

If you were to cut me open, it would look like this. Pretty gross imagery huh.

Saturday

I was lucky enough to spend most of Saturday with this beautiful girl and her mom. Thanks Abby!

Most expensive shorts... ever

I loved these shorts. They were a great size, color, length and price. . . so I thought. Turns out these shorts came to a whopping 108.99. I brought one to the cash register, the very nice (and oh so confused girl) charged me 72.66 (WRONG). So I asked her to refund the price of one and she continued to appear to do that. However, I look on my bank statement another charge of 36.33. Three pairs of shorts that I do not have in my possession. Dear Shade Clothing, I will be visiting this afternoon.I will be asking for cash back :).

suckage

You know that bandwagon we all hear about... I have fallen off. I was doing so well, losing weight, being skinny, feeling great. That has all changed. I need motivation, soon and just drive. So if you see someone sitting on the side of the road with a Reeses in her hand, it is me waiting for the bandwagon to come back around.

Obsession

This is consuming my life. . . so good. Go out and buy it ( the library wait lists are TOO long!)

Forget Vitamins...

This is what I will be taking from now on. I will CHILL when it comes to, my weight, my relationships, work, car, church callings, etc.

I am going to live life as it comes and ENJOY THE JOURNEY!

bleh

My off switch is on today... can. not. function.

Numero Cuatro

I have come to be very fond of this number. All good things come in four's ... maybe. Who would not like 4 sweet rolls from Shirley's bakery, 4 new pairs of shoes... ok cutting to the chase. It is my new favorite number because I bought 2 new pairs of shorts in this size, now I do not know if all of you understand the MAGNITUDE of this. I was wearing a size 10 when I was 11, yes 11. When I came back from my mission (parasite stricken none the less) I was a size 6. But today I am the proud owner of size 4 shorts. Hooray!
On another note, I have the BEST boyfriend in the world, he just pays attention. During our morning visit he gave me daisies AND Ghirardelli 86% dark chocolate to wish me luck during today's activities . . . which I will hopefully have good news about very soon!

Bliss. . .

I feel great about this. . .

National Donut Day

Since it is National Donut Day, I HAD to eat ONE. Ok so I gave in early, so I have no self control. BUT it IS their day, just wanted to show some respect. You all should too.

counting down

I have been on this diet for about 3 weeks now, I have lost 12 pounds (hooray), but I am seriously ready to cook again and I want to cook this. I have been literally looking at www.thepioneerwoman.com everyday and salivating.

Ok I can have one sappy moment!

"I'll Be"

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.



This song + an empty parking lot+ an adorable boy + high school swaying = :)
