A GLORIOUS THURSDAY!

First of all-I love Thursdays anyway, but Today, my friends, is the beginning of FALL BREAK!!!  I can't tell you how sweet this is to hear! I have been studying everyday, literally all-day for about 8 weeks now and I could use a serious break! Fall break is heaven sent!!

 I AM PUMPED!! Almost as pumped as she is!

With that, this next 10 days (that's right 10 whole days :)) is going to be extremely productive/lazy! To do:

• Go Shopping! Let's be honest, I deserve it :) ....Right? 
• Get ahead in school! Not just caught up... make life a little easier on myself for the week after. 
• Go up to Logan to see my best friends!
  
• Good workouts!
• Wedding Dress Shopping with Blakely!!
• Cook! One of my favorite things that has sadly been replaced by Harvard Business School Cases.  Maybe a little of this:  
•  

 Minestrone Mmmmm
 Or...
 
Carmel Apple Cake! Helloooo Fall!

• Oh and I'm totally going to watch this HILARIOUS show :)

Lots of time for lots of fun! Last week I went up to Logan too! My friends and I went up to my family's cabin in Logan Canyon.  We used to go up a lot more when I was younger, but I haven't been there in so long! The mattress swing was always the highlight of the cabin, but sadly it wasn't all put together. We had fun anyway though!

This is what happens in between conference sessions! Lots of energy to wrestle at the park! Well, I'm going to go live my dreams... Happy Fall Break!

Overwhelmed.

Unfortunately this is a term that I find myself saying a lot these days. It's good to be busy, but where do you draw the line?  I think I'm flirting with it...  If I see another Harvard Business School Case I might just lose it!!  School is insane, as usual, but it feels like it is particularly bad today. And it's FRIDAY. Which is usually a great day! This week, it feels overwhelming.  I am trying to find a balance-- MBA, Sleep, Relief Society Stuff, Friends? Social Life? Those last two are seriously being neglected.  Which brings up another issue-Priorities.

Life is crazy! Yes, we all know this.  I'm trying to do my best to be successful in all that I'm doing-but somedays are just HARD.   There is no way around it.  Whenever I have days like this, I think of this guy--

He's so cute, and whenever I have a busy day- I just think about how he's most likely 3x as busy.  I miss my little brother like crazy and he is always great inspiration to keep going!

Bring on the weekend!!

Grateful.

Today I just keep running into things that make my life so much better! SO many things.  As busy as my life is right now, these are the things that keep me grounded.

First of all- today was a lovely day for a bike ride!

Yeah, this is what I looked like too.

Second- a life analysis with her...

Old picture, same girl.  We were just laughing at how we are crazy and trying to do about a million things at once when we really only have time to do about 3.  At least we are in good company!

Next-a lovely phone call from this guy.

What can I say-he makes me happy :)

And finally...

Oh how I love thee!  This really is how I feel when I hold one.  So maybe I'm not holding a Nordstrom bag right now, but sometimes online shopping is just as good. 

And just to get things straight- it is definitely not this.

 I LOVE WEEKENDS!

the first.

Well here I am- on my own blog!  This does not make sense at all considering I should be studying instead of blogging, but again-here I am!  I didn't really ever think this day would come, but somehow in the last few weeks I've been inspired to start one. So here goes!
