if you know me at all, you know i love snowcones.

i mean, i could practically live on them

all day. every day.

so when i woke up this morning 

dieing for a snowcone

i was immediately forced into a state of depression.

because the 'super sno shavers' by my house doesnt open for another week.

it was a tragic thought....but THEN

as my mom and i were driving my sister to her violin lesson

there it was.

a snow shack. not MY snow shack. but an OPEN snow shack none the less.

i hopped out of the car, and with a huge smile on my face orded myself a snow cone for dinner.

now, my awesome flavor-blending-skills may be a little rusty

and this shack didnt have my favorite flavors,

BUT i was indeed satisfied.

cause it was delicious.

and it tasted like summer :)

also, this made me happy

and this...of course

and my next door neighbor (who is a 1st grade teacher retiring next week)

called me up and said she had an entire rubber maid container of teacher stuff for me

*screams!*

oh man. its like christmas!

seriously!

class room sets of books,

and judy clocks,

teacher manuals.

bahhh sooo many happy things!

and best of all?

she has another box that she will have ready for me at the end of the week.

oh today was a good day.

05.24.10

really weird dreams that you only have when you are sick

disney channel movies

seeing sunshine and happy fluffy clouds out my window, as all my utah friends complain of the snow

more harry potter

finally being able to eat after 20+ hours

...food of choice? waffles.

05.23.10

i told myself when i started this little project of mine that i had to do this 100% of the way

no cutting corners, and no skipping out... even when i have a royally crappy day

well, on  this day, sunday the 23rd i experienced what was pretty close to a royally crappy day.

and the cause you ask? the flu.

but i am here to tell you all that there is happiness in every day.

im serious.

it may take some extra pondering

and a little bit of optimism, 

but its there.

just search real hard.

my happy things:

facebook- ya so what if im semi obsessed. its one of those guilty pleasures that i dont feel so guilty about anymore. i have fully embraced my facebook addiction.

herb tea-yummm

harry potter-just reading HP, i was whisked off to a 'happy place'

saltine crackers-like i said, with a little bit of optimism, ya can find happy things in each day, right?

sleep-ahhh sleep. this needs no explanation

05.22.10

rain. 

lots of rain.

i love rain. alot.

the smell.

the sound.

ahhhh rain.

we also went to 2 music stores.

thats a dangerous thing in our family...

we purchased some violin stuff for gretch 

as well as music for this

this

and this

this video made my day.

oh and did i mention we had lots of delightful rain today?!

happy.

05.21.10

spent the afternoon scrapbooking 

and watching my fair lady.

google all pacman-ed out

totally brightened my day :)

found out twin a AND twin b 

both made it into falcon jazz as 8th graders.

i only got to be a part of awesome falcon jazz-ness as a 9th grader

but that was a good 9 years ago...

when show choir was cool

and people appreciated the music department.

...ahhhh those were the good old days
i even have the crappy pics to prove it:

then subway with the parents

which included an awesome paris bag 

that the not-so-happy subway worker

let me have without having to buy a kids meal :)

it was a good day

05.20.10

when i got home we had a super awesome family BBQ

with my grandparents

my 'adopted' grandparents

2 of my cousins

and my parents and sibs of course.

the best part was that it FELT LIKE SUMMER!

we grilled scrumptious burgers

we ate outside

and there were birds chirping

and a warm breeze.

*sigh*

i really love summer

05.15.10

major down pour in moab last night

which caused us to leave at 10 pm

and arrive in SLC at 3 am

haha awesome.

sleeping in was very nice for my very sore muscles

and on a mattress for that matter...

then we had lots of prepping for katies wedding shower

which in my mind was a complete success!

hooray for marriage :)

and hooray for my dear katie!

sadly i do not have a pic of the ever-so-awesome bridal shower

but this is one of my favorites from one of the many 'katie and whitney adventures'

it was taken last year at La Push Beach.

yes that La Push Beach.

dont judge.

05.14.10

one more thing to check off my bucket list folks!!

 i hiked to delicate arch with some of my favorite people in the world

and what a beautiful thing it was!

soooo happy!

the hiking didnt stop there.

we figured we did somewhere between 8 and 9 miles that day

and it was worth every moment.

:)

05.13.10

one of the best 4 hours drives i have ever been on.

'great' conversation

lots of giggles

stunning scenery

and rockin tunes.

the start to a splendid weekend

 4 hours and only one pee stop later we arrived at this magnificent place.

truly breathtaking in its own unique way.

05.12.10

with my BFFs

its really going to be a swell weekend!

im posting this pic again just because i like it.

so there ya go...

happy!

05.11.10

sometimes when no one else is home... i watch ridiculous disney channel movies.

partly because nothing else is on
but mostly because i think they are hilarious.
today was one of those days.
it was pretty awesome.

also. it was glee day.
that always brings a smile to my face

*heading back to utah tomorrow for
an awesome moab trip and a bridal shower for my katie!
so excited to see my girls!!!!

05.08.10

sleeping in.

unpacking.

cleaning...

being home :)

05.07.10

packing. cleaning. moving.

and leaving behind logan as well as all my dear friends was very hard today

and therefore put me in a bad mood for quite some time.

but driving into the sunset towards home

with 4 hours of glee, jason mraz, and tyler ward blasting through my little blue car

was enough to put a smile on my face.

let summah begin...

*please disregard the smeared bird poop and bug guts on my windshield...

*or embrace the smeared bird poop and bug guts on my windshield and look at it as me giving you "the full experience" of my lovely 4 hours drive :P

either way, just know that the sunset was indeed beautiful

also, check out Kym's funny dream she had.
seriously, fingers crossed that this all works out!!!

05.06.10
