california in august

My beautiful cousin Amanda got married a month and a half ago in the fabulous Newport Beach Temple!  It was so fun to fly down in time to help with the preparations for the big day and then to participate!  Unfortunately, I was VERY bad about taking photos, so the following are all that I have:

The sunrise the first morning at 6AM when I got up to exercise with my momma.

Food preparations

The night before the big day, my cousin and I decided to swim a little(without getting our hair wet, of course) Obviously, we decided to try out some synchronized swimming.

The setup for the reception at "the grove."  It was so beautiful-the weather cooled off just in time for the reception to start(as soon as we were done with all the hard work, of course) and the lights were perfect for in the dim twilight.

I mentioned above that I flew down to Arizona, but luckily, I got to ride home with these pretty ladies!  It was a ten hour party on the 15!

already procrastinating

My first test of the semester closes tomorrow, and I just spent an hour on Pinterest looking at the humor pins.  They were SO funny, but now I'm stressed again because I haven't studied yet.  Oh pinterest, if only there were some way to make money by pinning.  One good thing that came from my pinning spree this evening(night?) was eggless chocolate chip cookie dough!  I have been wanting cookie dough for days, so I made some.  It's not as good as the real stuff, but it worked well enough.  Good thing I'll have it in my fridge for the rest of the week.  Also, on a totally separate note, I haven't been to the gym in a week.  Go ahead and continue judging me.

highlights from my day

1. Whilst taking pictures of campus, I traipsed across one of the grassy knolls by the JSB/Benson fishbowl area only to find as I descended the small hill a swampy wetland hidden by the grass.  Luckily, I was wearing my sandals, so I was able to make the long, muddy footed, trek to the Eyring Science Center(where I decided would be the safest/least busy bathroom) to use hundreds, if not thousands, of paper towels to clean my foot/shoe.

2. I saw a professor running to class.  At least I am fairly positive it was a professor, he looked older and was carrying a briefcase, and looked like he could have a PhD.

3. Avoid the bathrooms in the RB.  They're just sub-par compared to the rest of campus.

(This is a picture of me 'studying'-let's be honest, it's from the first week of school.)

seasons

Today is the first day of Flummer.  Fall+Summer.  Jacket in the morning, sunscreen and shorts in the daytime.

at long last

It's been a while.  I didn't even actually look at my blog because I don't want to know how long exactly it has been since my last post.  Ten very important things that have happened recently(in no particular order):
1. I declared my major!!  Exercise and wellness
2. School started
3. I moved out of my parent's house!
4. London reunion happened.
5. My sister is getting MARRIED next month!!
6. I went on a cruise to Alaska with the fam damily!! 
7. I got to go to California for the first time in THREE years (still not to Disneyland though :( )
8. I became an official member of Costco.  To be precise, I am an EXECUTIVE member!
9. I decided that I have small feet for how tall I am (7.5 shoe, 5'9" tall)
10. The trees are starting to change colors on the mountains.

You are now probably thinking to yourself, no wonder she hasn't updated her blog, her life is pretty boring.

(Sometimes for my job I get to walk around campus and take pictures.)
