last week.. last vacation

i spent all of last week rollin with my homies at lake powell. just keepin it real. it was the bomb.

(the phrases that we said the most on the trip? "rollin with my homies" "keepin it real" and "it's the bomb" a la clueless).

february

it's february, and i broke out my heart garland.

you can't open your eyes in my room without seeing a million hearts.

celebrating love. it's one of our best holidays.

let's stick hearts on everything and wear red and eat candy!

instax mishap

oops.

well, the in-n-out was good, even if the instax wasn't.

it still looks kind of cool in its own way, though, doesn't it?

today during my class break i wandered around to my favorite trees.

i can't pick a favorite season. it changes from day to day. usually i say fall is my favorite, but really, there's no way for me to decide. i think my favorite thing is the change in seasons. i like that i get reminded how great all the seasons are right at the beginning of each one. there's equal excitement and beauty whether it's seeing the leaves first change yellow and red and breaking out the cardigans again, or sitting on your driveway eating an otterpop and looking at stars on warm summer nights, or the first snowfall and seeing christmas lights, or the huge pink blossoms on all the trees and seeing the sprinklers turn the grass green. all of the seasons are my favorite.

last hurrah.

we had a pretty fun time with my instax last night.

evan is leaving on a mission in about 11 days.

so we had one last hurrah before he leaves.

colombia, get ready.

you are about to get an awesome addition to your country.

and here's what 19 looks like

january 15th is the best day for a birthday, i think. it's always on or near a 3-day weekend. this birthday was a good one. i got a bunch of great stuff. and i had a sweet one-minute dance party to mr. brightside at 1:51pm (my actual time of birth). and i got to hang out with all my favorite people. 19 is going to be cool.

new camera

i got a beautiful little instax camera for christmas (thank you santa!).

so get ready for some nice instax prints on this here blog.

i'm so excited.
