my awesome friend tanier is in charge of advertising for peterson motors here in boise. they wanted to do a zombie commercial and needed some zombies...of course i was psyched to help. who doesn't want to be on t.v. looking horrible and creepy. ummm...yes! so here for your viewing pleasure...
it was a blast to make. i'm just waiting for the call to be invited to star in ryan gosling's next major motion picture. hope the fame doesn't go to my head...
i'll be the first to admit that sometimes i complain about how long church is and getting bored. i know, i know...i'm repenting. but the past couple of weeks i've been traveling, etc. and haven't been able to go to church every weekand i have noticed such a huge difference in my life that it actually kind of surprised me. it's just seemed like something has been missing and i haven't felt like the spirit has been as prevalent in my life. that just goes to show me...not complaining anymore. really though, it's been a good reminder of how important the little things are like just attending your meetings, reading your scriptures, praying, etc. etc.etc.
on that note. i've been listening to past conferences talks recently and have happened upon some phenomenal ones that i'd forgotten about. such as...
this talk is beyond amazing and has become one of my favorites. i probably listen to it at least once a week, just to remind myself of all the truths in it. listen to it if you haven't, or even if you have. i promise you won't be sorry.
this past weekend matt, brenna, and tim came to visit.
we boated [of course]. bbq'd. ice cream potato-ed. and it was awesome.
because i suck at taking pictures {as in...i never do} i don't have many but here are a few snapshots of their water sport skills. which were pretty impressive.
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-obviouslyawkward 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 shoppingwindow 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.
...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.
