let's get a little lost...

lost in chris young's deep brown eye's. please. 

so this past weekend mick and i headed down to salt lake to see the one and only chris young/love of my life. 


started the weekend out with a fantastic polyga-date {macall + matt + me = awesome}. macall and i were at kneaders enjoying a delicious dinner when we spotted an all-too-obviously awkward first date taking place only tables away. so naturally we decided the only thing to do would be to follow them on their date and enjoy the awkwardness with them.  luckily when matt showed up to meet us he was just as excited about this amazing idea as we were. my guess...next up...mini golf. correct. so we followed. 

creepy that we took pictures...? yes.

precious.
[if either member of this party somehow ever reads this blog for any reason. forgive us, i am ashamed of what we did. and i hope to two of you ended up getting hitched. best wishes.]


afterwards we tried to follow them to get what we assumed would be dessert, but i'm pretty sure they had started to catch on to us. and ditched. so we did the next best thing to stalking. frozen yogurt.

mic drew this amazing likeness of matt and i.

{the jury is still out on which picture i look worse in...}


thursday mick and i hit up city creek for some shopping window shopping. we are poor. 

need this swimming suit...

 didn't buy these pants. regret it every day.

 found the place i belong. j biebs phone cover. that will happen soon.

 friendship braclets. love you h&m.

that night. strawberry days rodeo with some of my most favorite people.
best friends.

 i have the best sisters.

 cutest couple. ever.

 we struggle to be normal at the same time...or ever.

everyone loves a good rodeo. and cowboys.

finally. saturday. chris young. 

 obviously we made shirts.

...well first due west...

\

i caught a shirt. x-large. perfect fit.

 and finally.

he winked at me. yes. it actually happened. i think know i'm in love.
i just hope he realizes we are meant to be together. and soon.

home is wherever...oh just get on home already

...and six weeks later she is finally coming home.

macall (mick) has been in london on study abroad for the past six weeks, leaving me all alone here in good ol' boise. and i have been so sad and lonely without her. 

as i've been living my exciting life here baking, watching hawaii five-o with my parents, and going on lots of fro yo friend dates trying to fill the void in my life that she has left...she has been living the dream in london. and italy. and france. etc. visiting museums, being sung to on gondola rides, and eating gelato. awesome. 

i can't wait for her to be back here so that we can resume:

-wednesday sister date nights {ice cream + modern family + cottage cheese sandwiches + chick flicks = perfect date}

-watch the bachelorette {it's just not the same without her commentary}

-double slalom on our boating outings {skiing alone is just so boring...}

-summer bonfires, rodeos, bike rides, and other greatness

sissy, get your butt home already! one more day...

i just love her. 

don't worry we'll be anxiously waiting at the airport tomorrow with lots of embarrassing signs...and possibly even t-shirts.

it may be love...

i may or may not be playing this song on repeat today.

it may be is the most precious song ever.
can a beautiful man (josh turner perhaps...) please sing it to me?

"if i gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world?"
really? i think i'm in love.

happiness in a box...

found this little gem today and just couldn't resisit posting it.

how precioius is he?
pretty much sums up my feelings about jr. mints as well...must run in the family.

sunshine and summertime

this summer will be epic. summer bucket list...

done and done.

a little late...

so it's a couple days late but happy mother's day to my amazing mother.

seriously though. she's kind of the best.

i probably wouldn't survive without her. she listens to me complain and worry and believes in me always, especially when i don't believe in myself. she most definitely wins the title of "world's greatest mom".

thanks mom for...
   talking sense into me when i'm thinking crazy (often)
   making me see the good in others
   being the perfect example of service
   being hilarious and making me laugh every day (always with you of course)
   being an excellent seamstress so you can fix my clothes and i don't have to...
   telling me i'm smart and wonderful (even if i tell you it doesn't count cuz you're my mom)
   being the best example of a disciple of christ i can think of.

in a nutshell...you rock.

love you mommsy!

employed...

i failed to mention that i got a job and have been gainfully employed for a couple of weeks now. what am i doing?...only what i love best. baking. i bake. bake. and then bake some more.

i accepted a job at the precious wild west bakery and espresso. and so far, i'm loving it. especially the getting up at 4:30 a.m. to be to work in eagle by 5:30. super fun, but really, it's great.

my boss is great and she is going to let me come up with some new things to start selling. hello, my life long dream. i've always wanted to work as a baker in a bakery, checkin' that one off the bucket list.

made these cowboy cookies and brought them in the other day for my boss to try.

{andie's cakes on facebook.}
(yes, i'm shamelessly promoting myself. if you need a cake, cupcakes, cookies, etc. made and/or decorated let me know. i'm available basically anytime...)

and if you're in boise...uh come visit the bakery!
