odd man out.

you know what's the best about thursdays?
thursday is the new friday, in a sense. no class, and following friday, two days of forgetting about school - kinda. 

this weekend was a good one. i may or may not have eaten a weeks worth of food within seven hours...
it was totally worth it though. 

i saw "one for the money" on saturday. i thought it was great!! i later found out that there are 18 books in this series. EIGHTEEN?? i know someone who is reading #18 right now. that's a lot of reading. is that a new summer goal? possibly. go see that movie though, seriously. 

and, how could i forget... the super bowl! was i cheering specifically for a team? no. should i have been? probably. 
we were all fence-sitters because our steelers didn't make it, stuff happens though. 

i have some pet peeves, well a few, wanna know one of them? i hate getting dogged. i mean, i don't think anyone likes it, but it's really starting to bother me as of late. uhh. sorry if i have dogged you recently, i think i have been pretty good at following up though. 

but please, check out this shirt i made!! 




isn't that fantastic?? i think it is. 
take a shirt, any shirt. trace and cut out a pattern onto wax paper - big or small. iron the pattern onto your shirt. lay the shirt in the tub and spray it with bleach. immediately after the bleach is sprayed, iron the bleach again and instantly, it bleaches it your shirt! let it dry for a few minutes and peel off your pattern! simple project, but totally cool!!


thank goodness for pinterest, right?
shar made a yummy honey glazed chicken dinner the other night. 
think about it, what would we do without pinterest? how would we paint our nails? complete holiday projects? we wouldn't! 

remember when i learned how to fish?


1. reminds me of summer. 
2. reminds me that this was taken just over three falls ago. my, how the time passes by. 

the weeks blend together and repeat themselves. does this really go on until april when the semester ends? it must. i hope i can survive. 

i played would you rather the other day.
the question was posed: would you rather go back in time or look into the future?
i debated between one, and then the other, and back to the first. 
but i would rather look into the future. i think about my past and i don't feel like there is much to regret or change. the future is unpredictable and kind of exciting. some days. 

i might regret the fact that my mom styled my hair like this?!


look at me though - take me back there.

tornado town.

i can't believe it is january 31st. the weeks seriously fly by. i feel like the days drag, but friday comes and i am shocked that the week is done and over. 
maybe working 30+ hours a week and going to school full-time helps the time pass faster??


like i said, everything blurs together... i haven't really kept track of what has happened!


i do, however, have a new project in the works. it is about halfway complete :) 
thanks to this tutorial... i will have a new addition in my room. 


i don't think i have bragged about my new niece!
reagan rebecca law was born on december 26th at 12:01 am. 


i haven't held her in person, but i am one proud auntie. 


miss these cuties.

look how big my girl is?!

remember how we went to idaho a few weekends ago?
what a blast we had. it was nice to get away and relax. 
there's a first time for everything, right??



i went to a wonderful farewell on sunday. cydnee from my study abroad, is going to argentina - today!
she gave a wonderful talk about overcoming hard things. it reminded me that it is possible, i seem to forget that sometimes. 
cyd is so ready and i am so proud and grateful for her example!

catie, angela, karra, CYDNEE, me, hilary. 

absolutely love tim mcgraw's new album. die by my own hand is my newest fave.
