Wishing Everyone a Happy Hallows EVE!

My Kitchen of the Future.

Sometimes in my free time, I like to imagine what my future kitchen will be like. I seriously can not wait to have my own kitchen. I want a huge stove/oven/range, with an exhaust hood, a glass/ceramic top that is run by gas, a grill and griddle and lots of oven space. I want to have lots of cabinets and an island in the middle where people can eat, do homework, or whatever. A big fridge is a MUST. I would like it to be silver, but I recently discovered the refrigerator of my DREAMS! Its a total classic BigChill fridge, it would add a little vintage love to the kitchen :) haha black, light green or white would be the color of choice!

I have even thought about what I want my kitchenware to look like. Simple white plates (always looks best with the fancy meals), and then modahome.com has these WONDERFUL plates. They are plastic with adorable designs on them. I am personally in freaking love with the floral ones... typical me. I have even found rolling pins with a design on them, acorn salt and pepper shakers, adorable measuring cups, I already own beautiful Henckels knives and just need a cute Anthropologie apron and then I am ready to go! This is probably so cheesy, but I just can't wait to design a beautiful kitchen because thats where I love to be. SOOO..: i will show some pictures

of what i am talking about. Visual Aid is always good! hehe

---Is this Kitchen not lovely? This is just one of the many ideas i have in my head. I am not so sure about the cabinet color. But i love the simplicity with the little dashes of color. AND ALL THE SPACE IS GLORIOUS! I also am a big fan of the fridges being made with with same wood as the cabinets, makes it blend in more. I like it. oh. and little bigger stove too :D hehe

Excuse me, i need a moment here.

Call me immature, but there are times in life where I just can not deny some of my love of the Jonas Brothers. And today would be one of those days. I believe that is because Joe Jonas recently got his haircut... and it looks DANG GOOD. He is back to the Joehawk, which is what he used to have like 3 years ago. I am in love, especially with how he looks in the video below. Thank you Joe Jonas. You never cease to amaze me.

I am sorry, but, LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF JOE JONAS IN THIS VIDEO. The Joehawk is a hit. I am officially in love.

Boy Meets World

OH my goodness. As of lately I have had the biggest obsession with BOY MEETS WORLD! YOu know? That show that used to be on TV, displaying the lives of the Matthews Family! Cory, Eric, Shawn & Morgan. ANd the infamous girlfriend Topanga and the neighbor/wise man/teacher Mr. FEENEY!!! As of recently I found a website that has all 7 seasons, all episodes on it. So, i have been watching them! I LOVE IT. I am slightly in love with Cory Matthews. I thought I should

just share that.

(i also found an excellent deal on purchasing all the seasons... wise investment? i think so :) )

Joys.

Oh my goodness. These are reasons why i should love today:

1. I don't have school thursday or friday.

2. There's a football game.

3. I talked to my favorite cousin/best friend last night.

4. I am eating Count Chocula for B-FAST. (it's October. what do you expect?)

5. The weather is forcing me to wear one or more of the following:

-Jacket

-Boots

-Scarf

-Gloves?

6. I just feel that it is completely necessary that i am decently happy today.

i love life. no matter how much it brings me down at times.

Happy Wednesday Dear Friends.

My Human of the Year.

It began many years ago... seriously many. To be exact... 10 YEARS AGO, Jennica Nielsen became my best friend. She is a truly astonishing woman that I love so much. And this past weekend she celebrated her 18th birthday. Thats right people, she is legal. (gulp.) It's so crazy that I have grown up with her, I am pretty positive that I know basically EVERYTHING about her (secrets are non-existant with us). Same soccer teams growing up, Mary-Kate & Ashley books, countless sleepovers, staying up on the phone talking about... you know... whatever :), and making up new words are just a few of my precious memories with her.

Jennica is a selfless, silly, exquisite, loyal, and an IDEAL BEST FRIEND. I am the most blessed being to walk this earth, because without her I can honestly say I don't know what I would be today. (I know that sounds cliche, but i can't say it any better then that) I love you Juanita.

Three cheers for Jenn Ben!

What a gem.

The Oath.

Hello tHEre :D

Soo.. this weekend was sadies! It was magnificent! I went with Dallin Brown and had a blasttt!!!! My day was pretty hectic, but all so worth it for the fun! For our day date we went to Backyard Adventures (it's a place with a bunch of inflatable slides and obstacle courses and stuff) IT WAS SO FUN! we spent about two hours running around playing tag and playing. Our group theme was Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, so we dressed up and had dinner over at Emily's house. Then we went to the dance... it was a party and a HALF. (minus the not so favorite music choices.) haha anyways, it was so fun, like i have said about 3849 times. But it will definitely be one of my greater memories to high school. Everyone was so great.

TaTa for now.

Anticipation.

can. not. wait.

benefits of the busy.

oh my goodness. how busy has my life been? answer: way to busy. but i am loving it SO SO SO much. Currently I am working two jobs, taking 6 classes, am an intern for the executive chef at Thanksgiving Point, a teachers aide at Highland Elementary, and am trying to be the President of the Operation Smile club at school! It's so much! But i really do love everything that I do and feel so blessed with such great opportunites.

My favorite thing that I am doing right now would have to be my internship at Thanksgiving Point. I working with Jason Merryweather, the head chef and I couldn't be more thrilled. Everyday that I go in I have an amazing opportunity to learn something new and that will help me for my future. I also bought my own knife set :D its BEAUTIFUL. I will show a picture of what they look like. HA, I know that i'm a freak.

I have also been able to do some fun things lately too! Last month over labor day I spent the weekend with some of my besties as we went to Jennica's cabin in the canyon past Heber. SO FUN. We rode 4-wheelers, played games (NERTZ. THAT I DOMINATED AT.), went to Swiss Days, and watched movies. It was so fun!! I have also been to several Lone Peak football games, which have been quite enjoyable. Especially homecoming game when Madi, Emily & I wore our SNUGGIES :) so wonderful. BUT- LAST NIGHT :) I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Colbie Caillat concert! IT WAS SO GREAT. I love her, especially live. She is definetly one of my most favorite artists of all time. I went with Jennica and Emily. OH, and i fell in love with one of Colbies guitar/ukulele players :D hehe.

Well, thats pretty much the jist of whats been going on lately. I will try to be more diligent about updating this more often. Its fun :) ta ta for now.
