Summer, All the Time

It's a week into summer and it feels like it's been so much longer. I've gotten more done this week than I did most weeks of school. I don't feel the need to take naps all the time either. It's summer and I'm living. I've already gotten my Apple certification, I'm now an Apple Product Professional which means I should be getting a raise at work! I've been riding the bus as well so I've had time to write and read during times I would have been driving. There was one day I missed the bus and I was so mad at myself and as I was driving, I saw the bus I would have been on broken down on the side of the road. I'd said a prayer before work to get there on time and Heavenly Father really had my back. 

I've finished a book already, Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. It was a great read, I'd definitely recommend it. I've decided that I'm forever going to be  reading teen books, they're great. We took Sammy to Thorntonfest for the first time!!!! It was great we got to listen to some good 80's music and saw a woman doing sign language to a deaf dog. It was really cool to watch!

And I got my homebody self out of the house the other night and went to my friend's annual bonfire. Here's last years. This years it didn't rain and the weather was nice. It was weird seeing everyone from high school again, it's only been a year but we're all so different. It was hard not to have the typical, what's your major, where you going to school conversations with everyone. I've decided I want a fire pit in my yard. The sad thing was when Kelsey said this would probably be the last one since last year we'll all probably have apartments in our various cities. 

We were all talking about past bonfires, and the very first one I brought a stack of church magazines that were in my room because I thought it'd be fun to burn them. I was a pretty bad kid. Sammy stared in horror as they told the story and was like, "You burned them?! But they have good articles in there!" It was a fun night with friends, and my first college party. That's how the cool kids do it, after the first years over. 

I finally got pictures of Kelsey!



Sammy and his best man friend! 


The moon was beautiful

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
