I think I need another post.

These are the things that made me smile today.
In reverse order - only because i'm still trying to figure out how this all works.

We went for a walk to the park I played at as a kid with my cousins the Cummings.


I made Gingersnap Ice cream Sandwiches! Yum!


My toes matched the walls at the Pagoda.


I've been craving Edamame all week, so I got some at dinner tonight.


I started trying to figure out what to do with all my clover I collected in Ireland.

First Day of School and other things

This is going to cover a few days. So here goes.

A dozen Einsteins Bagels were half off on Saturday, so we had people over all day eating bagels.



Then Saturday night as a last summer hurrah we went to a Bees game with Fireworks.
Here is all of us.


Here is Haley deep in conversation with Dan - notice the grass on Dan's shirt.



And I'm way excited I got some cool pictures of the fireworks!





Finally Last but not least. Today was my first day of school!
It's been five years and yes it was waaaaaay weird!
So I had to take a picture with a backpack on for old time sake even though I didn't even wear a backpack today.

Day 3!

What made me smile today?

My roommates bought me a gift certificate for a spa pedicure!

So here is the before picture



Some Spa wisdom



Me taking a picture in the setting sun



The after - I just happened to match the little slippers they give you.



On to other things.
I put too much soap in the sink. (seriously a quarter of a cup!) Then I got to play with the bubbles.



And the Naked of the day was.

Tonight...

Tonight on the other hand makes me happy!

There was an absolutely gorgeous sunset tonight!



Went to dinner with my roommates. We went to Chili's and they don't have the calories listed like they did at the airport so my brain rested easier.



My good friend Eric Rice came over to visit. He just makes me happy! and yet again no pictures of us two, but I did find a facebook one of him and some other people I love!


Hum, Today

This day has been harder to find things that make me smile...

My dad got back from Ghana and passed out on the couch with his feet in the air over the arm rests. (I'm going to get better at having my camera to record these events!)















Drank Orange Carrot Juice.
Probably should have gone with the straight carrot juice - more pure.




















I get to write a well deserved angry letter!

Didn't have to pay $10 to get my car out of the Parking Garage. (Or Car Park if I were still in Ireland).















I'm sitting on my front porch on a couch - How college town is that?!

Smile!

Things that made me smile today.

The fact that I went to Ireland with my Aunt Angela!



The new green chairs in the temple! Oh soooooo amazing!

The colors are something like this chair.

But the style is somewhere in between these two.
oh now I could do a whole page of green chairs!


Sports talk at work - I'm staying strong Go BYU!



The cute little man who came running down the stairs to make sure I was okay.



Sister Child who gave me a ride home and we talked about Ghana.



Great roommates.
Great roommate stories.
not to leave out Andrea... We just need to take a picture of us all!


Green Machine


Drifting a bit to the right.
The fact that my car is nowhere near where I am and
I don't know how i'm going to get it.

I'm on the up. Life can only get better from here! I'm going to make sure of it!
So here goes!
