just a shorty.

it's been far too long and this blog has been neglected. i have been thinking a lot about what i need to post and what i should post! haha. that's when you know it's a cool "hobby" let's say? 

i have too many pictures that i have taken and am procrastinating uploading and semi-editing. 

events as of late:

-hillary's bachelorette party/wedding

-surprise visit from tim, becky and the cuties.

-family wedding/baby blessing

-andrew's senior day baseball game

-more baseball games! love :) 

-a sad goodbye to the nebraska residents

-nights of nerts

-and many food projects!

what a list. but, i will say i've documented them quite well and my pictures have improved (at least i think so!)

this weather is a total downer. i laid out for the afternoon last friday and got a great tan and completely enjoyed it! now, it's rain? unbelievable. thanks utah. 

i enjoyed a fun weekend with some friends. killer workout, long day of shopping and eating, and great company! not a better day out there. 

i played a simple piano piece in my sacrament meeting. it's too bad i couldn't get my shoes back on after i played and everyone sat there awkwardly watching me struggle to get up and walk back to my seat! ha ha. i lost that one for sure. 

i wish i had the time to go to only zumba classes during the week. that would be 4 or 5 times a week and a high amount of calories could be burned. then i could have a rockin' bod and not even have to worry about my craving for a cheeseburger with lettuce and sauce only from in n' out. oh, and a chocolate banana shake from arctic circle. well, any ice cream for that matter. ice cream donations are greatly appreciated, thanks. 

i will say, i'm enjoying this summer time. still working, but totally enjoying being with my good friends. i have some great people in my life and i am so lucky to have them! 

and... for the record, 35 more days until i am meeting my fellow study abroader's in the shannon, ireland airport. can you believe that? the time has flown by. i am sad i am missing summer here in utah, but this trip will be once-in-a lifetime. the travels will be amazing and the sites are those that i wouldn't imagine visiting. (maybe, you can find one of the owls from harry potter and send me a birthday gift via the owl post. that way i can still enjoy my birthday in the UK. after all, the hp 7 premire is right around my birthday time. not the ideal bday gift, but still.. )this trip creeping up on me like a byu student creeps his female co-ed. 

i'll work on my pics and show you the visuals of the events as of late. i need to get on a good blogging schedule so i can have it down while i'm in the euro! 

fave.

favorite outfit #2. why i am posting this, i don't know. i do know that i love wearing this though. wish i would wear it to school, but i'd probably get some weird looks. thank you, zumba, for helping me get my hip-shake on today. 

change of subject though. our cougar basketball and baseball both play today! let's get some wins! 

i am currently on a music kick of these guys' jazzy instrumental tunes. 

(for anyone who doesn't know, this is dave matthews band..)

the thought has been eating at me the past few days. how in the world am i going to work out while i am away in europe? i will be eating delectable food that is most likely going to be high in caloric intake and not really healthy at all. me, i love food, especially yummy food, and i eat a lot of it. this could be a problem! i will figure something out, i hope?
