Crafty

I work with this cute girl who is so crafty... she has invited me to their monthly craft nights... we are making paper bag wreaths!! I am so excited, I hope they look like this!!!

Right now...

I am blogging from my new phone! Also a picture of the addition to my closet will be coming soon. I love going home!

Forward thinking

Yes, I am aware of a couple things.
- This wall is AMAZING
- I am 24 and can not pull that off in my room
- It belongs in a kid's room
- I am do not have kids, nor am I married. . . or close to being engaged

SO....

I can hope and pray that I can have a giant wall to put this beautiful thing on. So in PREPARATION I will search clearance bins for cute letters so I can get started.

See, just thinking ahead.

Fall Love

Being from Vegas I was pretty excited about the colors.






It really was the perfect day! We drove up the canyon and saw all the beautiful colors in this convertible! It was nice and cool weather, we had our classical music on and stopped every so often to look at the views ( and give our stomachs a break from the windy roads). We ended up eating a picnic of fried chicken, grapes and hummus by a few springs. Moose even came and graced us with their presence. It was a PERFECT afternoon!!

girls+ justin Beiber + convertible = great afternoon

I rented a convertible for a day ( thanks Craig). I knew my cousin's little girls would love riding around in it. When I pulled up Charlotte say the car and said " WHOA". They had so much fun singing and dancing in the car, they also waved at a couple boys selling lemonade. We sure were the hottest girls around PRovo for the afternoon.

Yay!

I got one of these today!!! Hooray!

Lately

It has been weird while everyone around me is in school I am just working. I have had lots of "Lauren time" because of it. I am very grateful for the position I am in now, I think I have come to a place of being really content with life and all that it has to offer.
- I have come to appreciate alone time, especially long runs around my new place.
- I love a CLEAN house
- I love interacting with different people everyday at the bank
- I love hanging out with the best boy I have ever met
- I love saving money
- I love thinking of the possibilities for the future ( hence my picture today, I feel like this. . . except in girl form)
- I love zumba and pilates
- I love baking and thinking of hobbies to fill my time after work
- I love reading
- I love Provo sunsets
- I love having family around (extended that is)
- I love my decision to not shop anymore but wear things I have in my closet ( I have to write it down to keep convincing myself)
- I love a day of eating healthy
- I love being able to eat a cupcake and not feel bad about it but feel empowered (contradicting to last comment, but cupcakes are good or the soul, ask my friend Stefi aka. Hello Cupcake - there on the right of the page)
- I love my to do list
- I love more temple
- I love being able to say I am not "busy" but have my time filled with activities I chose to do and enjoy


That is my love list for the last few weeks...

Project Organize

This is my newest purchase. . . I have plans people and I needed something to organize them. Is it so bad that I am So excited about this! I have just had many eye opening experiences these last few days. . . I am thinking about a masters program, paralegal work, zumba certification, moving to vegas, staying in provo... just lots of stuff. However, I am sure I have it under control ( for now). Plus my beautiful pink flowers look amazing on my desk :)

low moment. . . I apologize

I know we are in a recession. . . I know I am not really making any money. . . I know (mom and dad) that I do not NEED these, but let me explain. I have been on the look out for these boots for a year, I saw them at Nordstrom a few days ago, I didn't even want to turn them over to see the price, but alas. . . I did. 130 dollars. . . bleh. Still though, aren't they so pretty!?
