  • It is a long weekend!  I have so many amazing plans!
  • And I have to, of course, thank my grandpa for getting my computer fixed!  I love you!

What I Wore: 9-21-12


 I found these pants a while back at Savers.  My mom dragged me to the jeans section convinced that she could make me wear jeans more.  And guess what I found instead?  These gems!

We will see.

Bad News.

I have been fighting with my computer for the last couple of months.  Today was the day my computer won the fight.  It breaks my heart to know that I don't know how long I might be away from my blog.  Please be patient.  I know I will try to be.

What I Wore: 9-4-12

 My mom and I were on Pinterest for what must have been a couple hours a few nights ago just looking at pretty outfits and makeup and hair.  I am a Pinterest fanatic.  One trend that my mom and I both love were socks with shoes.  We also noticed that this is something that I rarely do.  So the challenge for yesterday's outfit was to wear socks in a cute way.  Was it a success?

List of Ten: Foods I love

I am a huge lover of food.  I think it is just great.  The trouble is, like most people, my favorite foods are not ones that I could live off of.  Very few are actually healthy.

  1. Pie-I love pie!  My favorites are pecan and frozen lemonade!
  2. Caramel apples- The best caramel apple has caramel, white chocolate, and crushed Oreos.  Is anyone else drooling?
  3. Ice Cream- I love ice cream cones.  They are just too good to not eat every day.
  4. Crazy Bread- The crazy bread from Little Ceasers is so good.  I would totally buy it and leave without pizza.
  5. Brownies-I like the middle pieces that are still gooey!
  6. Fettuccine alfredo- Olive Garden, anyone?
  7. Cheeseburgers- I used to hate them up until a year ago and now I could eat them for every meal!
  8. Smoothies-Finally something healthy!  I love smoothies!  They are one of my favorite breakfasts!
  9. Apples- Apples are the best fruit ever.  And oranges.  and strawberries.  I just love fruit!
  10. Salad- I like healthy ones and unhealthy ones.  I love Wendy's apple pecan chicken salad (healthy) and Cafe Rio's Chicken salad (VERY unhealthy).

Flaming Gorge Summer 2012

 I finally made my way up to Flaming Gorge!  It really is one of my favorite family vacation spots.  I hadn't been in years so it really was so fun to go up and remember all of the tiny details I had forgotten over the years like the rainbow cord that you tied the tubes to when we went boating, the cowboy boot shower curtain, and just how much you eat when you go down!

My aunt makes every meal!  My favorites are always her breakfasts because she pretty much makes anything you could ask for. So. Good!
 Avery went fishing for the first time!  I am amazed that she likes it so much because she can never sit still!


This is my cousin and Avery after he helped her reel in her first fish!
 We went garage sale-ing! I got tons of yarn and my sister got a really nice fishing pole for free!
We went boating!  I think this was my favorite part of the entire trip!



 I am a beginner wake-boarder but I still love it!  I thought it was so cool to see my uncle (second cousin?) to do all sorts of tricks after!

 I also drove a wave runner for the first time!  I took my sister out on them and she won't go out with me on them anymore because she says I am a crazy driver.  This is true.
 After we settled down and my family played cards while I crocheted with my new yarn!

Swiss Days 2012

 On our way to Flaming Gorge, my mom, sister, and I went to the Swiss Days Festival!  I seriously love events like this.  All of the booths with hand-made things are so lovely!
I loved the way this booth used the dresser as a display!
 Bunting and poms are my favorite!

 Avery has let me know that she wants me to crochet her an animal hat for Christmas.  Will do, little sis!

 Avery loves the jewelry.  She is just like me!


 I though these dog collars were just too cute!



It was so fun!  It really is something I look forward to every fall.  The only downer this year was when two (very) rude ladies stopped and basically told us off for bringing Harley(our dog).  One lady kept saying."Can't you read those signs?!"  We planned on coming on our way to Flaming Gorge and didn't know that dogs weren't allowed because we saw them last year.  My mom carried our dog the entire time even to make sure she didn't pee on anything.  We still got yelled at.  

But I like to think positive.  It was fun!

What I Wore: 8-28-12

 I spent the weekend in one of my favorite places!  Flaming Gorge!  It was so fun and special for me to go because I haven't been in years!  I will have a new post coming soon all about it!

Month in Review: August

I don't exactly know why, but I am so excited for Fall to start!  I think by the end of every season, I am fully ready for the next.  It must be the excitement of new outfits to plan and adventures to go on.
