Peach Pleasure? You Made My Day.

Bethany and I took an adventure today to campus, to find classes, get me a calculator, and to get something copied for her.  Holy. long. walk.  Like I knew it was going to be long going into this, BUT REALLY,
 <----------------------------This long!?!?!--------------------------> (and I put the arrows on that, cuz sometimes it's gonna take longer...ya know..with snow, or hitting the lights wrong, or forgetting something and having to turn around...I'm just sayin.  BUT anywho, exercise is good.  I burned 300 cals just walkin today :)  Haha that's good.  

Finding the SFH?  Easy.  Finding my class?  SO HARD!  We walked in, saw a sign directing us to classrooms and the number for MY class, wasn't listed!  It was dumb.  So we walked onto the track, turned left, went up to the concession ladies, and they pointed to some stairs.  Took those up to the second floor, and low and behold, my classroom.  Took us a long time to find, but that's a long boring story, so all in all, just know we found it. :)

Walking to the JSB to print something?  Easy as pie.  BUT the copy center was closed.

Finding our classrooms in the MARB?  Easy peesey

Finding me a calculator in the bookstore?  Easy

Finding a skirt Bethany thought was adorable?  Impossible.  It wasn't anywhere!  Just on the mannequin.  

Getting lunch?  Took forever. But it was good.


Jamba?  Yes please.  Peach Pleasure?  New found favorite.  Will it last the whole walk home?  Yes siree.



HFAC?  Oh the HFAC.  My class is on the lowest level, so you have to go down 2 flights of stairs, and holy moly.  It is SO confusing down there!!  (Best place EVERRRR to play sardines..just so you know) Um so yeah.  We're trying to find my classroom, and we're at one end of the hall, and we see 3 people at the other end.  A boy, freshman girl, and Dad.  The boy is just staring at us..we knew they were going to ask where a certain room was...and low and behold, they did.  They were looking for the MRH.  We were like, the MRH!?!  Whaaa??  No numbers?  What the heck.  We had no clue.  All this time, here's Bethany swooning over this kid.  All we knew was that he wasn't a freshman. :P  So anyway, we direct them to the stairs to go back up, suggesting they look up there, so they walk away, we turn down another hall, and Bethany hits me and is like, "HE'S CUTE!!" Anyway, we find my classroom, we go upstairs and see the boy with his family, and they're up a level, walking into the 'MRH'.  Bethany turned to me and with puppy eyes, "Can we please go up there?" Ha, so we went up the stairs, walked into where they just had, run into them, and she's like, "Oh hey you found it!  So did we! ;)" Haha then we all turned around and walked out together.  Not MUCH of a story, but it made Bethany's day for sure. :)   And honestly, can I just say I have NO CLUE how she could be so bold like that!?  Bold enough to walk up there even though she knew they'd already found it, just to see and talk to him again?  I'd be like, "oh forget it, he found it, good for him, see ya."  I'm way to shy!  I was wondering what the heck she'd say again when we ran into him up there, but of course she thought of something.  I don't know, I'm not bold when it comes to things like that..I don't even know. :P

Now...the WALK HOME?  Hoooooottttttt.  Oh so hot.  But you wanna know a plus?  That I'm gonna get so tan.  I'll beat this one person I'm in a contest with.. you know who you are..if you even read this. :)  

Anywho, it's been a HOT, but very very good day.  And it's not even over yet. :)  I love college.  Even though it hasn't technically started yet.


Pictures Pictures

So, I took these with my computer.  Not the best, but still pictures!


Out fabulous family room.

Family Room once again

Lovely kitchen and dining table

When you walk in the door, you see the family room on the side, and the kitchen and dining table on the other with a hallway straight down the center. :)

Break Time

So hey!  It's been awhile, hasn't it?  I have so much to update on and write about!


I had my last day at my wonderful job last Friday, a whole week ago!  Can't believe summer flew by that fast!

I went on my FIRST vacation of the whole year this past week!!!  YAY and about time!!  I've never wanted or I think needed a vacation so bad!  My sister Lauren and her hubby, Peter flew out on Saturday, and we left Monday to stay at one of THE most beautiful cabins above Sundance.  It was the loveliest get-away. :)  It was right on the slopes of Sundance Ski Resort, so when we went mountain biking Tuesday, we rode right up to the cabin after without going all the way down to the bottom and driving up!  Lovely I tell you.  So super convenient!  I came home from biking with a few battle wounds though.. :(  So I'm just going to wallow in my ouchies for a minute.. We were stopped on a slanting little dirt hill, and everybody started riding again, I was last, and when I pushed off, I didn't realize my chain had fallen off, soo when I pedaled, I couldn't!  And my bike fell over and on we both went down the hill a bit.  I landed on a rock which split my pants and marked up my knee quite a bit..if any of you have ever wanted to catch a rainbow, I have one on my knee.. I'm not missing any colors, tell ya what!  So that happened, and I got reeeally sunburned.  Wednesday we floated the Provo River, which was wonderful as well.  BUT the river was so strong, we had to keep pushing against the river with our hands to avoid rocks and sticks and such on the sides.  Everybody ended up with terrible terrible rashes on their arms...euw.  Mine have finally scabbed today from being raw for 2 days, ah I can finally bend and move my arms without literal searing pain!  So yep, the only thing that really hurts still, is my knee, but it's on it's way!  Lovely trip, but nature and it's elements definitely didn't looove me this week.

I know I only have one picture, but the rest are on our camera!  This one I just found on my dad's phone. :)  So maybe I'll upload pics from the cabin and such, later. :) But there's me biking in those stunning mountains! :)


Thursday I PACKED UP MY ROOM FOR SCHOOL!  Moving Monday baby!! :)

Friday (today), I went on a road trip (I'm currently on it...we're driving home!) to Twin Falls, ID to visit my cute grandma, great grandparents, and aunt.  Just visited for a couple hours, went to dinner, and left!  It was great. :)  Currently Lauren and the Daddy are belting The Sound of Music.. it's a happy car!  Haha but really, GET ME OUT!!!!  Jk jk, they're good singers. :)  The whole fam has just been singing the whole soundtrack allllll weeeekkkk cause we went to the play together on Monday..so yep!

TOMORROW TOMORROW I LOVE YA, TOMORROW YOU'RE ONLY A DAY AWAY...and we're going to Lagoon!!   It's been more than a year!  I love going with family too, it's going to be super fun. :)  Though...the last time I went cannot be topped..that's all I'm gonna say. :)
