did you know?

I love attention, so last week I did that "5 things" post on Instagram, 
and I thought I would share them here as well.

5 things you may not know about me:

1. One of my favorite things is stepping off a plane in a new place (or an old place). I actually love airports and I get physically ill if I think about never traveling again.

2. I like watching gross videos on youtube in my bed. Like zits and stuff. But not injuries.
I get it from my sister.

3. I love camping. My only experience before moving to Utah was girl's camp, which sucks. Then my family taught me to fish and set up a tent, and now I can't get enough. Like, I'm obsessed. I think it's romantic.

4. When I was little I either wanted to be the only girl in a band filled with boys, or a drag racer.
Still do.

5. I'm actually really awkward and slightly terrified of people (which is weird because I love people). It's getting worse as I get older.

cjane is my bff

I don't even know what to say about this show.  Basically, y'all know I love Fictionist.

Did you know I love The New Electric Sound?  Me neither.

I mean, I knew I really liked them, but then all the sudden I was 50 feet away and I was in love.

We also saw and partook of the Waffle Love truck for the first time.

Yeah, also in love with that.  So good.  I'd even take a plain waffle.

I just don't even know what else to say, because I'm still in my post concert coma.

So please enjoy these songs that are currently always stuck in my head.

And if anybody asks, I want to marry them all.  

it happened

four weeks ago.

i'm so proud of that boy.

we met in ninth grade

after i went to a concert with my cousin and his best friend (Justin's brother)

and i decided that was a good way to break the ice.

and he's been like family ever since.

him leaving has reminded me of the best parts of the last five years.

it was a bittersweet see ya later for me, and i think he picked up on that.

i worry a little that we won't be as close in two years, 

but then i remember that he's Justin, 

so it will work out just fine.

besides, i stocked up on enough Justin hugs to last until 2014.

from his first letter:

"I'm learning so much about myself here at the MTC.  It's crazy how much it tests your limits.  

Limits of faith, patience, diligence, Cebuanoness, how much you can eat, 

and how well you play beach volleyball.  But it's been a great learning experience."

he also said he wouldn't mind if i stalked him at the temple.

he loves it.

but he's still him.

and i love that.

on marriage, pt. 2

The reception was in our neighbor's beautiful back yard 

and I'm pretty sure it was the best one I've ever been to.

Except, I forgot my real camera.  I was sad.

But not sad enough to trek home in my uncomfortable heels.

When Maddy blogs her schamncy photos, there will be a link to the beauty.

baby boy fell asleep while we drank italian sodas.  good babysitters.

 I was a little proud of the cake because I found the design. 

it was gorgeous and made by our talented neighbor!

while everyone else was cleaning up, I grabbed this cute girl for a pic.

then: "sorry, my bum's wet."

every good wedding ends with a pee soaked dress, I guess.
