it's about that time

it is about dang time...for school to end. hallelujah. good gosh this has been a long/awesome/horrible/exhilarating/stressful/fun/tiring/educational/interesting/fantastic year of school.  but...two weeks from today will mark the start of a promising summer as i: 

1.  head home for two weeks to play-slash-study, study, study and take the GRE before i head to....

2. BELIZE for three glorious months of working my butt off and having the time of my life (i hope) volunteering, until i...

3. journey to dallas for a few days to visit my long lost roomie and dear friend lindsey for a few days.  i will then be...

4. heading home to good ol' boise for a month(ish) to hopefully get some more dietetics experience as i prepare to...

5. come back to provo for my very. last. year of college! (sigh, i know...it's about time i graduate)

three words: bring it on.

before i get married.

this just made me smile.

you tell 'em girl. you tell 'em what's up.

why march is the best.

there are three reasons why march is the best month of the year

1. march 20th = first day of spring (the best season of all)

2. march is national nutrition month, and me being a dietetics geek. i love it.

3. most importantly...march is my birthday month! {the partying lasts all month long}

did you know...during the week of your birthday you can get: a free burger at red robin. free cold stone ice cream. free dinner at tacanos. and free orange julius? it's true. julie and i have enjoyed many a birthday week partaking in those pleasures.

welcome march. welcome.

four more days.

only four more days. let me explain...

my name is andrea, and i'm a gum addict. 
i chew gum. morning. noon. and night.
this can't be healthy. or good for me.
so...i went on a month long gum fast. mostly just to prove to myself that i could do it.
and in four more days i'll be able to say that i did!

first purchase on monday.

extra-strawberry banana. delicious.

it's the most wonderful time of the year

why is it the most wonderful time of the year?

because...
family. family. family.
no homework.

4. read the Book of Mormon

6. master a new/difficult song on both the piano and the guitar (and write a new song)
7. be more patient and understaning 
8. make a monthly goal and follow through with it
