oh, hey.

So, it's been like four months. I made a flow chart so that we can catch up:

It's so good to be here again surrounded by all of you lovelies! Over here we've just been enjoying every ounce of summer we can -- swimming, camping, baseball games, hiking, and of course grilling! 

We also just bought new bikes and I'm hoping the weather stays good so that we can enjoy them before the frozen tundra strikes again. Idaho weather is just so awesome.

I have also been getting used to a recent promotion. There is something just so amazing about learning and stretching ourselves. I definitely have my work cut out for me, but I am loving this challenge.

Be looking for upcoming posts: my current obsessions (music, television, food, etc.,) dream fulfilling, and knocking out the rest of my summer bucketlist!

So tell me, what are your plans for the rest of summer??

subtitle: because you have to keep up with brissa and shaylynn.

my parents have a child for every form of birth control they ever tried. i was the last and the seventh, but i was intentional. this means that i have an unrealistic view on my importance as a human being.

as a child I made dance videos with my friend kelli. i messed up a lot and she yelled at me. this was the end of my dancing career. but i do know the hoedown throwdown and will show that off any chance I get.

up until high school, my mother forced me to endure permed hair but never let me in on the secret that brushes and perms don’t mix. picture a frizzy, triangular mess with loads of acne and you have every school picture of me from 1996 to 2004.

during high school I met friends that brought me down to earth in the best way – through laughter and sarcasm. i dated the prom king for like a week; even i’m not sure how that happened. he was my first kiss. i was half-asleep and didn’t realize he had kissed me until it was over. pure magic.

in college i perfected my cookie baking skills. i also skipped class a lot and so here i am, 23 and barely about to get my associate’s degree. power through, kids!

i recently started dating a boy who terrifies me in a good way. he's disgustingly nice. i was fully awake for our first kiss.

here’s to flat irons and conditioner.
