currently.

a long two months has passed. in a short amount of time, does that even make sense?

right now, my life consists of:

- 1.75 hours of accounting 200 homework four days a week (respectively). i'm not planning on being an accountant and this class WILL be the death of me. it's pretty rough. 

- absolutely LOVING these two shoes

and socks

- too much math homework. 

- attending PiYo (Pilates/Yoga), pilates, and zumba classes while mixing in some lifting with lean-machine trainer, my brother andrew. while still not losing 10 pounds. how does that work? 

- needing to refashion these shirts using this tutorial. check out her whole blog! so creative. 

- needing to finish the sign-up below!

a lot has happened in the past two months. i feel like i wrote blog posts about my amazing summer adventures and now i don't have anything nearly as exciting as traveling the world. but, what i post will have to do!

i took these family pictures for our friends visiting from illinois. don't judge me!

i was a guest speaker for my former photography teacher at the good ole' provo high. i had no idea what to expect but i was told to bring some of my favorite pictures from the summer to talk about and explain to the class. forty minutes later and a printed poster of my favorite sunset picture up in the hallway, i was out of there a legend!

i enjoyed a fun date night last weekend. happy sumo - go eat there past 9 o'clock, if you are a vip member or something, everything is half off! killer deal, seriously. 

yummy sweet and sour chicken.

school dominates my life. this has been my hardest semester, by far! i switched majors (again) from food science to exercise and wellness. this one will stick, i'm pretty sure. i'm expect to graduate in april of 2014. graduate from college, yeah. that's two years, but still. who does that?

fall makes me miss this girl and her cutesy attitude:

does she not melt your heart? she melts mine. 

fall makes me miss my sun kissed skin and being with these girls.

and lastly, fall makes me want to buy cute sweaters, boots, and most of all, that beautiful gold watch! 

is that not the cutest? 

in retrospect, time flies but i am still loving life. 

i am getting excited for the holidays - thanksgiving, christmas, new years - so i can spend time with the ones i love.

and welcoming grandbaby #3 into the law family! 

as marilyn monroe says...

"i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

lovely.

time to think.

i've had a lot of time to think lately. a lot. i was just thinking about the fact that i drive in the car without music. it is soothing. i can just sit and drive and go through all the crazy thoughts that are running through my head. i reason with myself. i plan out my day. i think about what i need to do the rest of the day. it is nice actually. it's been like that for a while. i think about what i want in life. i think about what i am missing in my life. i have had a lot of time to think. 

i am so blessed. great friends and great family that are always willing to talk.

the time is just ticking away, and it's like it never ends. no matter what is going on, the time will never stop. kinda weird to think about, but nice to know that time passes. hopefully with healing. 

sleepy day.

today. was a great day. i got to sleep in, which i have needed to catch up on some much needed sleep! i slept at my apartment, but woke up and went to my parents house. last night my mom told me that "tomorrow (Saturday) was going to be a car washing day." so.. that's what i did. may i say, my mazda is looking nice nice. washed, waxed, and vacuumed!! andrew told me all about his adventures of the bunny blasting adventures he had last night. what a guy, this is why i love him!!

we had some fun times this summer, here are a few pictures of things we did together.
