countdowns.

yes. this is borderline pathetic, who am i kidding? this is absolutely pathetic. 

2 days

 until my trip for this weekend which consists of a couple days in utah with my babies and then up to the glorious rexburg for a few days.

29 days

 until i am in my 20s. dang. and yes, if you haven't recently noticed i am young. even though my sleep schedule would tell you i'm 68. 

31 days

 until my trip to bellingham, washington for one of my bests (Niff)'s missionary farewell. Thailand isn't going to know what hit them.

58 days

 until I am done working my "lovely" job. and boy. let me tell you, these countdowns help me get through  days like today. 

ps. this is for all of the ladies and gents that i know watch the bachelorette religiously, like myself. first off let me start by saying i tell myself every season that i'm not going to watch it. but somehow i always watch the first episode and i'm hooked. my mom refers to this show as "trash", but let's be real. it is extremely entertaining. but really. somethings I have noticed:

1. I do believe that Ashley's belly show count has gone up to about 212.

2. Bentley? Do I really need to say any more?

3. Ames.... looks like hercules, i'm sure everyone has already noticed this. but it clearly needed to be stated.

4. JP-awesome. 

and again... i'm way too into this show. oh well. i'm past it. 

sometimes...

• sometimes i fail to shave my legs for days on end.
• sometimes i wonder what the soundtrack to my life would be.
• sometimes i throw in the old NOW cds and sing to my hearts content, not worrying about the old man who stared at me while at the traffic light.
• sometimes i can't shut up. sometimes i'm really shy.
• sometimes i just want to go swimming, with goggles of course.
• sometimes i change my major 15 times a day, wait. that's reality. 

for i am thankful for so many things today.

-for the greatest friends known to man. but seriously, i've got some gems.
-the fact that niff still answers my phone calls everyday without fail. it's called being at home and being way too bored.
-for the sunset drives i have with aud. we look at eachother when we're definitely not done singing out rendition of adele's "someone like you" and keep driving past our turn home...sure maybe she hit a bunny on the way. oops.
-monday night bachelorette with regulars.
-sundays...oh i cannot explain how much i adore sundays. bliss for sure.
-laying out feeling the sun on my skin while having that slight breeze.
-ingrid michaelson...oh you make my heart melt.
-sleep. sleep. sleep. sleep.
-prayer. seriously gets me through all of my days.
-right now i'm just grateful for life. life is good. oh so good.

enjoy.
