3 really, really, good days.

i ventured home for the weekend & spent time with my family that i love so much.

dad & i climbed walls and cracks.

i went to a bridal fair with my soon to be sister-in-law & stared at pretty things.

mom & i made two things we found on Pinterest. yum.

my little cousins are about as cute as ever.

the Superbowl meant nothing to me, but food...food is good.

i chomped on yummy granola across campus today while the sun was shining.

& then found a package waiting for me back at my apartment from Chase! he's a good guy. German sweets & contraptions, a letter, & a biiiiig smile on my face.

and it's still there.

pretty lil' roommates

(don't hate me, 

i just had to do it.)

life lately...

Wellsville, Utah. only the homiest little town in this here Cache Valley.

snow.

vines, all over the  buildings.

climbing, what i love most.

only at Lee's will you find this sort of arrangement.

i want to be in a flash mob.

Pete and Siobhan's Marriage Proposal Flash Mob - Central Park from FLASH MOB AMERICA on Vimeo.

in my lifetime i will either participate in or witness a flash mob.

i must.

here's the thing.

...

they really are, & something needs to be done about it.

you know what would be nice? having someone you could just pack up & hike deep into the mountains with whenever you feel like it.

so i should probably marry someone who enjoys that stuff as much as myself.

all i want to do right now is go on a long backpacking trip.

colors.

a tradition.

see last year's video here.

yesterday.

yesterday was a scarf day. & a climbing day. taking that class is one of the best decisions i've ever made. climbing makes me so happy, & now i can go all the time for 8 weeks.

Emporium Shopping Center.

Downtown Logan.

Monday.

a school day.

i can sign about ten words in ASL now, & it's only the 1st day of the semester.

Mondays have become a favorite day of mine. it's email day. plus i can finally attend FHE without that dreaded night class of mine anymore.

did you know that President Uchtdorf's family (when he was just 6 years old) was introduced to the church while standing in line at the market? a little old lady decided to speak up to them & let them know about the true LDS church. maybe i'll start talking to strangers more often in the line at Walmart. who knows, i could convert an apostle.  i'd like to meet that little old lady someday, her testimony has blessed the lives of so many today.

"Don't close your eyes and hearts to the simple & elegant beauties of each day's ordinary moments."

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

he is always reminding us how much our Heavenly Father loves us.
Happy Monday!

had a panini from this place yesterday, & feeling pretty good.

upon my arrival back to Logan yesterday i realized i had no food. but woe and behold i had a gift card to Kneaders. huzzah. people keep asking me if i'm glad to be back at school. eh, yeah i guess i am. i'm excited to have a little structure in my schedule again.

i'm back in the swing of things people.

i'm changing up some of my habits for this coming semester & i think it's going to bring an increase of happiness in this life i'm living. better study habits, eating habits, new job, a warm coat, & new year's resolutions i intend to work on.

happy start of semester two!
