summer loves.

Byu started today, without me!!!

miss annie gave me the great idea to make a "fave list" to close out the summer.


.......


my summer loves {the very best moments of summer 2009}:

-my new short do
-graduating with my bachelors
-becoming brave enough to wear russain red lipstick
-seeing "up"
-planting my lavender plant {and reaping the benefits ever since}
-seeing "vertigo", "rear window", and "dial m for murder" at the gallivan
-going to st george twice, and even swimming in the algae infested pool
-fort wightman
-the ville days, and playing ticket to ride in the park while listening to the orchestra play "the 1812 overture"
-raccoon hunting {we have yet to see the little rascal}
-making bracelets, meeting hickens, boating, and listening to eddie money while eating popcorn and watching fireworks in roosevelt, ut {aka the middle of nowhere}
-making oodles and oodles of delectable crepes
-getting my mission call!!!
-seeing jakeambermicael
-going through the temple
-getting this headband for my birthday, in which i feel like daisy from the great gatsby {or something}
-being with PAIGE every minute of every day.



oh, it was good.

on the road again.

i'm off to roosevelt for some cow tipping {cue twangy hick music} and mischievousness with the sweeties above.

have a lovely weekend.

there is a tear in the fabric ...

i heart summery sun dress pictures.

raccoon hunting.

paige and i have started an agency devoted to hunting and bringing to justice raccoons that stalk our homes and families. a little bird told us that our next door neighboor has been feeding a raccoon every night. apparently it comes and taps on their door between 10:30 and 11:30pm and they feed it a home-cooked meal! we set very few goals for ourselves this summer, but seeing the raccoon is at the top of the list. plus, we're hesitant to sleep out in the backyard {a summer MUST!} in fear we might be eaten by said raccoon.

help wanted!

summer series.

paige and i have begun our 2nd annual summer series {consists of watching an entire series in the summer}. i secretly call it "summer smut" because the series we choose often end up being some gratuitous teen-aged soap opera ... but hey, we love it.

last year it was the o.c. {marry me seth cohen!}.
this year, it's gossip girl. in this delightful series you've got:


blair {aka b}: this girl is seriously beasty, really i'm so frightened by this character. that being said, her style is superb.
serena {aka s}: played by blake lively, who is surprisingly a great little actress.
nathan {aka nate}: who is taking zac efron's place in the remake of footloose. lets just say i'm not completely sold on him playing the role of disgruntled teen ren mccormack {who other than troy bolton could pull off that angry dance?}.
charles {aka chuck}: the nastiest thing on televison ... and i hate that scarf.
dan {aka lonely boy}: pyt. and oddly similar to seth cohen.
jenny {aka little j}: cindy lou who is that you?

however, there's only room for one smutty series in our hearts, and for right now, that's the o.c.

this summer.

i'm starting a bike gang.

who's in?
