optometrist

You know when you go to the eye doctor and they dilate your eyes? Then when you walk outside and hiss like a vampire because the sun is too bright, and you come home and close all the blinds and hide under a blanket because the reflection of the sun off the floor is just too much?

Yeah, that happened to me today.

But I got some new contacts. . .and new glasses!! Can't wait to show them to you!

Happy New Year!

I love this time of year. It's just getting chilly and you don't die of heat all day. It's starting to look like fall and it SMELLS like fall!

But really, my favorite thing is the Season Premieres. This is when my year begins. . . time to pop out the Martinelli's, write new years resolutions, and spend the night watching premieres.

I. LOVE. IT.

What shows are you guys looking forward to? Here's my top 2:

1: Supernatural (obvi)

I'll have to watch them online since we don't have cable this year. But I'm still super excited! How can you look at this and not have your heart start beating with excitement!! ?

AHHHH! Makes me happy. :)

September CES Fireside

Did you see this? It was wonderful! Sister Oaks is amazing and so cute! And Elder Oaks had some fantastic things to say! Highly recommend watching!

CES Fireside

Lord of the Rings (extended version)

For Labor Day this year I set off to spend some time with my buddies and settled in to have a Lord of the Rings marathon! It was the perfect day for staying inside (foggy) and we had great food. Overall--a great vacation day! :)

Raulon, Naomi, Me

The spread. My cookie frosting sandwiches were a hit! yay!

The nice theater set up and the boys that figured out how to make the sound work.

(Raulon, Nick, Chris)

Half-way treats.

Me n' Naomi. What a fantastic time! Thanks for having me over!

My Room, My House

I LOVE the house we moved into this year. It is so darling and exactly what I have wanted to live in since I got to Logan.

I love that my room reflects who I am and it is definitely my happy place!

My LAST FIRST day of school

I just had my last first day of school about 2 weeks ago! It feels so surreal. I'm taking 18 credits and will be SO busy! (I'm at school from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm on Tuesday's). But it will be worth it to be ahead of the crowd and able to start a job in December rather than May.

My first-day outfit was comfy and fun. I feel like I've really come into my skin this year. I feel comfortable with myself. I know what I like, and I'm not afraid to speak up and be confident to get what I want. I'm happy with who I've become and I think this is going to be a GREAT year!

National Sisters Day

Sadie surprised us one morning this summer and said it was National Sisters Day and she was buying us all soda's at Brookside gas station!

I love my sisters so much! They each have such great personalities! They are smart and hilarious and beautiful and I love being with them!

Muah!! love you girlies!

Look what I got!!

We went shopping for Sadie's birthday. . .and I'm very happy with my purchases. :)

shhhooooeees!

I love shoes!

Soooo. . .when it comes to that point when it's time for a pair of shoes to kick the bucket, I get a little emotional. . . .Or at least get a little camera happy.

These shoes got me through New York and San Francisco. . .

And then they just couldn't take it anymore. . .

They were good to me, and now it's time to retire them.

Goodbye shoes, thank you for keeping my feet dry. ;)

Friends

One weekend this summer I got to come up to Logan and visit my great friends Naomi and Raulon.

We had a GREAT time! Raulon watched while we painted nails and sewed and crafted our little hearts out!

We got cupcakes. . .

and Jimmy Johns. . .

YUM!

and just had a GREAT time being together! Thanks for the FABULOUS time you two!

I love you!!

Look what I made!!

I went on an adventure this summer. I decided to make a drawer and bookshelf. I needed a place to put all my dvd's and a few books and I was bored and wanted to use my AutoCad skills. SO I got to work.

(Concept model from Cad.)

Lots and lots of sanding!

My door handle that I got in San Francisco!

Finished product! Lots of work--but so fun!
