Thanksgiving

This year it was my family's turn for Thanksgiving. They wanted to go to Hotel Park City and eat out for dinner, so that's exactly what we did! I loved being the first one up every morning and watching the sun rise through our cottage windows.My brother flew in from New Mexico and brought his girlfriend with him. It was so much fun having them both with us. :) (That's not his girlfriend in the picture,...

The drive to the pharmacy with Sydney. / Snow covered mountains during sunrise. / The call I had with one of my offices.

Anxiety.

Freaking out over here. I found out I got into NYU which is exciting, but also really stressful. I basically have three choices:#1. Start school in January without Jake. Graduate in May of 2017.#2. Start school in September with Jake. Graduate in May of 2018.#3. Wait until Monday and hear when I would graduate if I started school in May. Aka somehow make myself have patience. (This isn't an option...

What My Life Is Actually Like

Have you guys heard about that Instagram-famous model who is now against social media? It's so dumb haha. Like, I understand where she is coming from but I don't think social media is "fake" in anyway. Like I think you can definitely make yourself fake and that's obviously what she struggled with, but like social media doesn't make someone get to that point. The person being insecure makes them get...

Real Stuff For A Second

I wrote this whole post about Utah but then deleted it because of #*OtHeRs*FeELiNgS*. (Shout out to Riley Jo.)If there's one thing I've learned in my 19 years in Utah it's this: People who love Utah, LOVE UTAH. By trying to find validation and comfort with my Utah struggle I've somehow ended up offending people or being lectured. People don't want to listen to some girl talk about how she doesn't...

ZAO: The Second Food Post In A Row. I'm Not Sorry.

Ok. Go to ZAO also. I have posted about them before but they are SO GOOD. We usually don't go to the same places twice (unless it's fast food) but you can't say no to some fresh Asian food. Get their snap peas and the green curry sauce! Oh, and don't forget to try the organic sod...

A Happy List: 91

Frappula, Yo

We got the "Frappula" (Dracula frappuchino) on Saturday. I love Starbuck's because it reminds me of my grandma and she is my favorite person on earth. Also, I'm putting together a how-to on ordering non-coffee drinks at Starbuck's. Whenever someone ordered a vanilla steamer I used to ask, "Do you drink coffee?" and if they said "No." I would suggest something else. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO STARBUCK'S...

I Am Not A Fashion Blogger

For some reason I really like documenting these. The outfit on the top right got me a literal round of applause from 20 people at work this week hahahaha. I want to make a book of outfits, so I can just flip through it and pick what I want to wear that day. #lazy. Honestly, it's been nice though. I've been going through my closet and wearing everything once. Like, once I wear something I put...
