so...

bad news: my thesis for my research paper got trashed.

time for a new topic, time to start over on my research.

sometimes, school has to throw you curve balls to keep your brain alive.

so...

the j. crew pants my lovely mum bought for me have been shipped.

soon i will be walking around in salmon-colored delights.

i am quite fond of that color. and those pants.

so...

i saw one of my besties this evening.

she looked so pretty and she just keeps getting prettier and prettier.

she always makes me laugh and reminds me why i love life.

i cannot imagine me without her.

so...

i climbed a rope jungle gym tonight.

i have never felt cooler in my life.

i felt like i was sitting on top of a mast on a yacht.

all i needed was a whistle, a striped shirt, boat shoes and white pants.

or maybe just salmon pants.

it's so fluffy!!!

You know when you are just happy?

Well I am.

Just plain happy.

It is such a wonderful feeling.

The Lord is so good to me!

Do you want to know why??

Well, I'll tell ya!

I finally wrote my thesis statement for my insane research paper.

My lovely sister Smushy made me a piece of french toast for lunch.

My lovely sister Smushy and I made a wonderful adventure video together.

My wonderful mother bought me a gift from J. Crew that should be arriving in about a week. (She is so kind)

My wonderful father scared me while he was sitting in the dark garage after mowing the lawn in a beautiful pattern. (He makes me laugh--ahhaha!)

I watched the cutest little girl play with my puppy, Abish.

She was just plain happy, too.

The dog, and the girl.

Life is so good.

My Brain is Fuzzy...

You know those days where you just cannot think?

Where nothing comes into your brain and nothing comes out of your brain?

That was my day. It was not fun. And it hurts.

(The previous group of sentences is a grammatical error called something I can't remember. I just know it is wrong because my English professor pounded grammar into us today with a hammer.) (Maybe that is what happened to my brain.) (Awesome.) (One more grammatical error: the periods in these sentences just might belong on the outside of the parenthesis.) (I cannot remember.) (Or think.). (And for the record: I don't care.).

However, I said this week was going to be happy so let's see if I can find one happy thing that happened today...

...

...

...

...

Got it.

My dearest Mum made the best ham tonight. It was so delicious I couldn't stop eating it.

I am forbidden to tell you the recipe because it is top secret and unbelievable.

But I will say this, if you love deliciousness or have love in your heart at all, you will love her ham.

And if you cannot find something to love, the answer is Mum's ham. You will fall in love.

Food is always a happy thing. If you need help thinking of something happy, think of your most favorite food on the planet, and maybe just maybe a smile will creep into your heart.

Happy Sabbath

Today was happy. This week is going to be happy.

Even though I have a major research paper due, it will be happy.

I gave a talk in church today. It was a miracle. It was about miracles.

My sweet family and sweet Bree came to listen to me. They are so sweet (crazy how the sweet people turn out to be sweet)! Love them dearly...

Sacrament was amazing. My branch does this really cool thing where after the Sacrament is passed, the presidency waits a few minutes so that the congregation is not interrupted in their thoughts or prayers. 

My presidency is amazing. They genuinely care so much about all of us.

This weekend, our branch is going boating and camping. I am so excited.

I have never really been a camper but I am excited to start.

I hope that someone teaches me how to work a boat. Because in my perfect world, that is where I live when I am young, middle-aged, and old. It is also where I retire, and work and play. It's a good thought.
And it's a good day.

This is the boat I want. If someone wants to teach me how to work it, I would be eternally grateful.

Rockin Thursday

Yesterday may have been the best Thrusday of my life.

I wasn't planning on doing anything fun. But that all changed. Just for the record, being spontaneous is rewarding.

First of all, Stuart, Sash and I went to visit the Other Agles (as we like to call them). My cousins. I played outside for a while just chasing, tickling, raspberry-ing, and carrying two little peaches. These delicous little munchkins like to be called Sophie and JP. And they are too fun. I want to go back and play with them everyday.

Then, after that little bit o' heaven, I went bowling with Sash, Stuart and Curtis. Actually, I didn't really bowl. I tried and I didn't succeed but everyone else bowled. And well. I'm thinking we should form a team. Because it was fun. And that is all that matters.

Just Because....

So I am officially a Cougar-for reals. Since I have last come around here, I started up as a student at the Lord's School, otherwise known as BYU. Wow. Who knew college could get harder? I didn't and I am only taking 2 classes as opposed to 7. Life gets confusing..

The GOOD NEWS is that I am a nerd and like school.

Since the last time, I also started going to the singles ward again. I highly recommend attending the Springville Singles Branch because it is amazing and you will not find another branch like it. I also got a calling as the Compassionate Service Leader, which I am tres, tres excited about. I get to be compassionate and give service. I also get to give a talk on Miracles on Sunday. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, stories, questions, comments, etc. that you would like to give, hollar at me.

More GOOD NEWS: I am officially an owner of John Mayer's Battle Studies Tour tickets. When they came in the mail, it felt like Chirstmas.

Speaking of Chirstmas, J. Crew has new clothes in stores and online and they are so beautiful. If Santa feels like getting me something, like the gorgeous winter jacket that is not online yet, I would not complain. I would also not complain if he also got me all of J. Crew. Whatever he feels like...

Speaking of feelings, I love:

summer

yellow

family

abish

the beach

reading

nerd glasses

and

love.

Dearest Family and Friends: An Explanation

Sweet Family and Lovely Friends,

Home.

That's where I am.

It feels good to be home with you.

But I really miss New York, more than I thought I would be missing it at this point, especially since it is so early in the summer and so early in my transition from "FIT Fashion Girl" to "Undecided/Floater Girl".

I really shouldn't be surprised since New York was home for the past year, but I am.

I'm definitely not sad to be home, but I get a little teary-eyed when I have to tell people that I will be here for a while and won't be moving back to NYC for at least a few years.

I grew and grew up so much while living in New York. I learned and experienced things that I couldn't have anywhere else. And I needed to do it in a different place, on my own.

I'm Home.

It's going to take a while to adjust to this new life that I am not used to. While I am in the same town, same home and same room that I spent high school in, it's a new chapter in my life--a new chapter with a new me, and with new yous.

It feels completely different than I remembered and expected.

It's going to be a toughie and will take a lot of patience on your part, but thank goodness I know you love me enough to give me time while I figure things out.

I hope this gives you an explanation to why I may seem different than you remembered, and why it's taken me longer than I thought it would to adjust back to being home.

While a few things have changed (just so you know) I still love hugs and playing cards!!

Love you all!
