breezes blow.

Well hello fall. fall is here, and I definitely felt the chill of rexburg last night. yesterday during the day was gorgeous though. so my roommate megan had the idea of going to pick apples in the orchard up on campus. both of us had never been there before so why not go? Sadly, we didn't find any good apples. After we were there for a bit we walked up to the temple. It was a good time. 

i'll put pictures up sometime soon. blogger won't let me upload any pictures. which is why I haven't been uploading anything. SOON!!

introducing the future:

MRS.OTTESON

everyone. this is abigail morgan...soon to be otteson. she is easily one of my best friends. I met her here up at school my first semester. I love her to death and am so excited for her!! Abi and Luke are getting married on December 18,2010 in the Draper temple! I cannot wait. I love her so much!

oh and the ring happens to be gorgeous. (just like our future bride).

happy.

This weekend I got to do something I feel like I didn't have enough of this summer... wake boarding. Abby & Clark were nice enough to invite us on their friend Austin's boat, and even though it was freezing to say the least it was a dream. 

I will just say it was fun, it was also the first time I had been wakeboarding out here in idaho. The music was good, the people were good and it was a warm day. I was going to go to utah for the weekend for Seth's birthday, but homework took over my weekend. Sorry seth! 


Other random things that have been happening:
I got the calling as FHE mom. Should be fun, we're having game night tomorrow. 
I realized that I absolutely love online shopping. I probably shouldn't love it. I normally hate spending money, but I guess when you shop online you don't really see the cash disappear---which isn't a great thing. 

I got this little number yesterday. and I love it. Oh and living with canadians is really turning my on to lululemon. I yearn to own a pair of lululemon pants. It would rock my world. So if my parents like to ever look at my blog heads up! So far I'm liking my classes this semester. Just have to keep up with all the work I am getting, this semester is just loads and loads of busy work. Still on the search for my major, I've changed my mind a billion times. I am thinking that I'd love to minor in photography though, it'd be really fun and useful to have. 

ok. so here we go again. workout haley time. this time for reals. hawaii is in 2 months to the day. 

to kingdom come.

love this. 

eastern idaho state fair.

That's all folks. 

lately....

Sorry this post has no pictures. I've become kinda lame with my whole blogging experience, I hope to get better at this. 
So yesterday was the first day of school. To be honest, it felt nice to come back to school. I wasn't really dreading it or anything. But the one thing I didn't miss about Idaho happened, the cold. I mean I really can't escape it up here, but it did pour rain all the day long yesterday. Kinda insane. My dad and brother Chase brought me up here last weekend. It was nice to have them drive me up here. So I moved in to my new apartment, Brookside. It's nice. I enjoy it. The closet space is divine and my roommates are still amazing. I started my running brigade. I've gots to! Hawaii is in... 2 months. Ahhh I can hardly stand the anticipation. 
Randoms:
I LOVE funny people. For reals, where do these people come from! I love them. I could literally spend all day everyday laughing.




I think it's funny when Karly and I get lost in rigby for a decent hour.


FAFSA is god given. 


Lately, it's hard for me to sleep in? No idea why.


I still want to do a semester in Hawaii.


Quelf? Or whatever it's called is  more than likely one of the funniest games ever. 


band of horses are amazing. along with he is we. 


and skype dates with audrey are still routine. love her.


ok I promise I'll take more pictures!!!

yes, yes i understand.

yes, i understand that no one reads this blog. but it's more like a journal type thing for me. so have at it. I have 2 weeks till I reunite with my people in the burg. I've been blessed this weekend by having these people come play with me: (ashley & seth, sethley)

 these two are crazy cool. i love them. it's always quite the treat when they come in town.  currently, i'm writing letters to my favorite missionaries. Yes, I've been a slacker. but theses letters will attempt to make up for it. my lovely sisters & elder are:
sister courtney callaway

sister whitney stevens:

 and of course my best for life elder connor morgan:

 next item: I am having an unhealthy obsession with design. serious. I literally just got paid and the first thing I thought was... "I could really use that rug from west elm." whoa whoa. I'm 19, wanting a rug with my money. kinda odd? but this rug. let me tell you. is gorgeous!!

 I know, the first thing you look at is the rug right? it comes in brown, navy and black. I'm in love. it's probably not probable that i'm going to actually purchase this. but i would love to. but the for sure purchase is an adorable duvet cover from west elm. ahh. glory be. I cannot wait to be wrapped up in this during the winter.

 so yes. i'm a tad off on where my priorities are at right now.. since they concern home decor. haha. well real things: this will more than likely be my last semester with my fridays off. since I will be taking my "fun" prerequisites for dental hygiene in the winter. all in all I'm liking life. there are good things ahead and I'm loving it. keep on keepin' on everyone. 

last question...if anyone, anyone at all even reads this: hair? i know it's the thing I change my mind the most on like my major. keep it blonde? or go back the natural way (strawberry blonde/aka red)?  I like blonde...but red is so so so much cheaper. throw in your two cents.

the romantics.

seeing this commercial makes me happy. yes, for other reasons than the fact that adam brody & josh duhamel are in this (but they are the added bonus). i think i'm going to like this movie, let's hope it doesn't fail me. jcrew (store I'd like to own) teamed up with the cast of "The Romantics" and did a photo shoot. It'd be an understatement to say that I like these photos.

my burden was made light.

t-hoe.

so yesterday was family day! it's honestly been a while since that had happened, so I had the genius idea of going up to Tahoe for the day. And I'll just tell you... It was gorgeous. lovely. 

 so it was a successful day in tahoe. when I made my way back home I went to my friend Jared Robert's wedding reception. No lie, his wife is a babe and SO nice. I'll just say it- I love marrieds, especially happy newlywed marrieds. Not that I'm mean, but after last night I am definitely working on my niceness. happy blogging to everyone. and the countdown has begun--- 3 weeks till I'm back in REXBURG. never before have I been so excited. oh another random thing... not like this countdown will leave my mind or anything but 3 months till my epic hawaii trip. cannot wait. I hope everyone has a sunshiney summer. because I am..well that is when I am not at work. LOVE LOVE LOVE
