bliss

             

 

x. so this week has been my spring break, but because of work i had to stay in ephraim. which honestly is fine, because its quiet down here & it was lovely to have some me-time all week.
x. it has actually been a really fun & productive week.
x. i finished a project for work that looks excellent & i am so so happy with.
x. i deep cleaned my room, did laundry, & packed up things i don't need in my apartment anymore.
x. i finally got to go out hiking. being in utah really does have its perks & oh my goodness i love this earth. it is the most incredible thing & being out in nature observing all the beauty, my oh my pure bliss.
x. i got to relax by watching friends & snacking on banana chips (which was so needed) & catch up on some homework, not as much as i should have. but some.
x.  i've had more time so i've worked out everyday (i'd be pretty good about working out before but this week has really helped) & i finally started my 30 day yoga challenge for which i am beyond excited for
x. along with my exercise lately i have really been focusing on eating as healthy as i can, i juice almost everyday and make fruit & veggie smoothies. i've cut back completely on soda and i don't really eat anything processed anymore. it really is the best feeling being full on good healthful foods.  

recently

so i just realized it's been about a month since my last post. sorry guys. it's been a crazy month.

x. i got accepted to work in WDW
        x. it's actually mortifying a little bit scary in some ways when i'm thinking about it.
        x. i'm moving 2.340 miles (yes i looked it up) away from the place i have lived my entire life.
        x. & i will be a minority. can i just tell you how actually terrified i am to be a minority.... it's flipping scary. i haven't ever realized how hard it is or how much it will affect my everyday life. & that's a nerve-wracking thing to think about for me.
x. i didn't get hired at a different job (which is totally fine because i am living in WDW)
x. i figured out how long distance will work with the bf. & i'm learning it'll be hard no matter what. so i'll just deal with it.
x. i discovered the thing i hate more than stepping on a wet floor with socks on is a group of dramatic girls.
x. i then chose five (not dramatic) girls that i (absolutely love) will live with for the next 8 months
x. i paid a $300 deposit
x. i've been looking for flights everyday
x. & trying to figure out all the absolute essentials for living across the country out of two suitcases.
x. oh & attempting to keep up with school and my demanding job. ha!

x. so yeah. its been a crazy month.
x. i just have to think of all the amazing things that are going to come from my experiences because i know there will be a ton. xx

trips

x. i find that when i think about calm times and fun vacations it helps prevent my anxiety when dealing with hectic life. so i was looking at all my pictures of my oregon road trip that jus and i took in october. 

x. this was probably one of the most exciting trips i've been on. 

x. we got to experience salt & straw in portland. let me tell you it's amazing & if you haven't been i highly recommend doing that as soon as possible. (don't worry i paint my nails everyday, they are hardly ever bare. but when i take pictures involving my hands they are never painted *sigh*)

my cone: lavender & honey + salted caramel ganache, 

his cone: salted caramel ganache + blue cheese & pear

x. we stayed at a beach house in lincoln city, oregon & went on walk down the beach everyday. it was so relaxing and romantic really. strolling down the beach everyday with your person is a dream. 

x. i long to go back and visit. my dream is to live in oregon someday. 

x. it's the perfect combination of landscape. mountains + ocean.

x. & the weather is beyond perfection. 

let's play catch up

                      

                             
 

 

hello lovelies.

x. i'm sorry it has been so long. the last two weeks have been full of ups and downs. adventures. & stresses. 

x. let's play catch up yeah? (sorry for all the pictures. but i like them)

x. these are the knick knacks i found on my walk that i posted about last time. they occupy my windowsill & i love looking at them every day. 

x. this is a picture of the disney castle that i took two years ago when i went in the spring. i miss it so much & i am currently planning (in my head of course) my next trip there. also, i applied for the disney program & have an interview this upcoming friday. *eeekkk*

x. my gorgeous utah mountains. of course i can still see them here at school. but not these. currently i'm missing my ski trips to alta with my super hip father; therefore picture.

x. next are from my 'snowcremes' (one of the hold-in-the-wall places in sanpete. one of the reasons i actually survive here) trip i went on the other night with three lovely ladies i work with. obviously the snow cones. & this cat. oh this cat. it was adorable. but the blasted thing would NOT hold still for a photo. that little brat...

x. my room is one of my obsessions at the moment. i hate leaving it. which causes problems because college. & classes. & a social life. 

x. this plaque my older sister made me for valentines is so amazing. i have it on my desk so i can always see it. she is the crafy/ artistic one between the two of us for sure. her house is probably the cutest thing on the plant. also, her and her hubby make the best offspring. 

x. these are from my valentines day. it truly was a lovely day. i am very blessed to have such a sweet caring soul in my life.

x. don't worry i had chocolate milk today. like everyday. i mean what.  

love you all. & happy sunday.

Hello

x. so i've had some people tell me that i needed to start a blog. & since i am notoriously terrible at writing in a journal, maybe i will be better about writing this blog for you all. so here it is. i worked tirelessly to make this blog look neat because, lets be honest, i am terrible at designing anything & also i am technologically challenged.

x. i went on a walk of my lovely town today to clear my head. my life has taken many unexpected turns lately & sometimes i need to relax & just think about it all. currently i am a sophomore in college. by may i will have my associates of arts. & then i really don't know what i'm going to be doing. i have applied for a job, which will keep me where i am if i get it. but i may not, so fingers crossed. X. it's decently scary not knowing what the rest of my life holds.

x. while walking around my little town i stopped in at the pharmacy. they have flowers & books & it's like a super tiny walmart. kindof. anyway. there was this couch there & i found some lovely treasures & of course had to get some chocolate covered cinnamon bears as well.

x. & i was hungry, so naturally i stopped and got tacos. my oh my. these were so yummy. & when i was walking home i came across this wall. i thought it was so interesting, so i took a picture.
