A Series of Fortunate Events

This time of year always makes me super nostalgic. It's the time of year I graduated high school 5 years ago, Bryan left on his mission 4 years ago, we both came back to Utah 2 years ago and I started school 1 year ago all around this time.

Do you ever think about the decisions you made or events that happened to lead you to where you are now? Like I just think about if my parents had picked a different neighborhood to live in back in 2000, I wouldn't have met Bryan and married him 14 years later. Also, if I hadn't decided to date Bryan, I may have not decided to think about seeking out my own adventure while he was serving his mission. I wouldn't have lived in San Francisco, I wouldn't have met my nanny family or some of my very best and closest friends.

Or sometimes when something didn't work out the way you'd planned, it turned out for the better. Like when I wanted to start school in February of last year but things didn't work out with my financial aid so I had to push it to May instead. If that hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't have the job I have now, or have the friends I do.

Right now, I'm super bummed because my goal was to be done with school by the end of July but I did the math and I won't actually be done until the end of September. But I'm sure there is a reason for that and something wonderful is going to happen that could only happen if my schooling got pushed back.

I also wonder how on Earth I didn't see Bryan for TWO. WHOLE. YEARS. like, what?! That is such a long time! Nowadays, I hate having to leave him for a few hours for school in the mornings. ha ha. It's kind of embarrassing. But he's just my favorite:)


We bought a truck this week. We are SO EXCITED. We cannot take it up into the mountains. Also, guess what, we are going to San Francisco in 107 days. I check my countdown every single day because I'm so excited but it turns out, that makes time go by super slow.

Have a great day and I hope everyone is enjoying this incredibly beautiful weather! And always remember this:

I couldn't resist this ^^^ Baylor insisted on rollerblading when I went on a walk with my parents tonight hahaha.

dramatic lovin

i was feeling dramatic tonight so, here are the results:

behind the scenes:

teeth

for those of you who did not know me pre-braces, i was..... let's just  use the word unfortunate. for example:

(hiking/camping)

(oregon/ just... yikes)

then i went through, yet another, unfortunate phase:

(me and tay. and my horrid bright purple eye shadow/ me and my beautiful mother)

okay, you get the picture. well, ever since then. my straight, pearly whites have been my pride and joy. and last night i had a dream, no, a nightmare, that i woke up in the morning, and went to take my retainer out only to realize it had broken in the night and my teeth went back to pre-braces. i was horrified. i called my mom in tears asking what to do and she said she wasn't paying for braces again. and it was at that moment that i realized i would never leave the house again. thank goodness i woke up. 

now to celebrate that it was just a horrid dream, enjoy some (slightly more pleasant) pictures of these here chompers that i love so much:

(cheesin' it up with my short hurr/ at lagoon with my bff kinsey)

(headed to church with my sugar plum/ byu vs. usu basketball game camp out 

aka- worst night ever. 

and yes, i am wearing rocketship glow in the dark footie pajamas. what of it?)

(probs around 2 am with michael and tarah/ just sittin in my new room)

okay. thanks for letting me share what my nightmares consist of.

TGoodnessIF!

mom, i'm hungry!

so over the summer i lost a lot of weight because i did this diet with my parents that was set up by our gym. my mother was so patient for me at that time because, like my father, i have a ridiculous sweet tooth so she got LOTS of complaining from me. now here i am, with no one to cook healthy food for me when i whine to them. and this picture pretty much describes my 

life this past 2 months:

happy monday!

a few pretty little things...

okay so, i am finally up to date on my pll. well. here is what i am thinking right about now

- i am freaking out
- why is this happening? i was asking myself the same question
- i KNEW there was still something a little off about toby. i just knew it
- if caleb dies, i refuse to watch anymore
- ask me if i literally threw my computer when caleb was shot. cause i did.
- why?
- how the h did mona just walk right out the front door of an asylum?
- where the h is lucas?
- why the h did i have to love nate so much... i WAS NOT expecting that
- toby is a slut
- why?!
- i want to cry right now
- i want the series to be over right now just so i can know what happens
- remember how it was supposed to be a 10 episode mini series? too good to not be something bigger
- why?
- i love caleb so much!


okay. my pll rant is over... for now.
