Ladies and Gentlemen

I finally remembered to email the pictures to myself off Aaron's phone from the big night:)

Go look under the tab  ^How I got this Rock on my Finger^  to see the real thing!

It's official

Think I can pull it off?

I do believe that some clouds are better than others. Washington seems to hog all the good ones though. They are so light and fluffy!

I need to paint. I am taking an online art class right now (sounds silly I know) but I have to paint and then scan everything and post them in a discussion board. Scanning makes all my work look like crap, no matter what, the color gets messed up and I am too much of a perfectionist!
Other than that, I am enjoying this class. I really do love to paint (minus faces) and I am learning a lot from the book and tests.

I better go do it now while I still have my background music of my niece singing "Mother tell me a story.." because it's Mothers Day!

I love my mom. That is all there is to it.

I believe in a thing called love

..and because of that, I need to learn self control this summer.

When your boss kindly tells you that whenever you're working and make extra of a milkshake or anything,

you can eat the leftovers. PLUS, you can make yourself anything you want.

OH! and "on your off days, if you come in, just go ahead and make yourself whatever you

want. as long as you clean up after yourself!"

Working in an Ice Cream shop, that means self control is KEY.

My other goal for the summer was to get back in prime shape.

This puts even a bigger emphasis on self control! 

Yesterday I made the soft serve mix of vanilla and orange...

... so I HAD to try out the swirl to make sure it tasted good ;)

and somehow I ended up making a ton of strawberry milkshakes

so I HAD to keep adding the extra's to my strawberry milkshake i made for myself.

OKAY.. today I will be better. I Promise.

this is my favorite color of polish for my toes.

it works so great with everything. I got it at dELiA*s last summer.

I can't wait for the sun to come in strong so I can work off this Idaho white-ness!

Soul Surfer

IS A MUST SEE!!!

I loved it. I am ready to move to Hawaii right now. Bring on summer and water!

Opportunities

A & D are MARRIED!!!!

I got to take some pictures at their reception which reminds me.. Do any of my fellow blogger friends want to buy a basically brand new (no scratches, nothing wrong, prefect condition) Canon Rebel XS digital SLR camera? I want to upgrade so I am trying to sell her. It's a great camera and I only got t last summer, I just feel like if I really want to get better, I should get a better camera.

I've only edited a few of them, but here are my favorites so far:

Mud on the Tires

We went to Texas Roadhouse for my cute little blonde friends 19th Birthday. They made her ride the saddle and lasso with the napkin while the whole restaurant shouted "YEE HA." Pretty sure she is the best sport in the world (minus the lasso) because she was smiling the whole time.

We ordered the huge slab of fall-off-the-bone ribs... My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I turned my books in today and my parents are on their way! 3 more easy finals left and I am OUTTA HERE!! Hello Seattle, I have greatly missed you and cannot wait to be reunited.

Have a smiley, happy, great, amazing, fantastic, outstanding, bomtastic day!!!

p.s. it's raining, and I LOVE IT!

Tag Wars?

I love getting new followers, especially the ones I only know virtually. With my newly found blogger friends I was seeing a tag game going around.. and guess who was tagged.. Yes indeed ladies and gents, yours truly. I feel like I am now an official blogger! This last month has been a blogging explosion.

 So here is what must be done.

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link them back to your post

2. Tell seven things about yourself

3. Award to 15 new bloggers

4. Contact these new bloggers and let them know they have received this award.

So a special shout out is in need here for a new virtual friend Juhee@Pages of Me I love when fellow bloggers follow you back :)

Seven things about myself? Yikes! Well...

1. I currently am in college and live off of penne noodles and alfredo sauce

2. Volleyball is my first true love but Rock Climbing has recently been fighting for the spot

3. I worked on a farm last summer and am working in an ice cream shop with my roommate this summer:)

4. I want to get a rip stick (or longboard) so I can go on adventures with my Tennessee homeskillet Morgan

5. I now can say that I drive a Red Mazda 6 which has definite bragging rights

6. I love BYU-Idaho (except the intense encouragement on dating and marriage including the statement that our first priority at this school is to find a spouse)

7. && My grandmother thinks I have 2 boyfriends

I think that for this next challenge I am going to name the people I think should start a blog..

Kyla-- So that I am not the only nerd

Amber-- You just need to actual post instead of annual updates

Liz--You are hilarious and I would religiously read your blog (and learn about Dracula) 

Nicole--So you could secretly share your thoughts not on facebook

Ryan-- Make a blog thats not about Korea

Zach-- You could make an obsessive rock climbing blog

Jordan-- You could make a music blog with your lyrics

umm fifteen is kind of a lot..

I really want some pajama jeans.. They work great with sandals or sneakers! $39.95 and with the added bonus tv offer they will add a great crew neck fashion-t to complete the outfit.

Have a Beachy day!

love is all you need

.midnight. shake face. webcam. horror doll. creepy.

So we found out that shake face pictures look even creepier using a webcam. Doesn't this look like one of those dolls from the island of misfit toys? This is what happens at midnight, when you want to take a new profile picture, and you end up laughing so hard tears are streaming, and you end up looking ugly, so you try and use black & white to make yourself a little bit more attractive then you actually are.

Thoughts of Summer

I just can't wait! Warm weather, boating, Washington, water, sun, our beach, family, country music, fun pictures, good home-cooked meals, working in the ice cream shop with Kyla, and staying out late in a t shirt and shorts and coming home smelling like campfire:) THEE BEST EVER

Oh and actually being tan again..

Back in the Iceburg

Welcome back to Rexburg Mallory!

This is my other adorable niece Emree. She sports a light blue aquarium-style pacifier that she can use backwards and with no hands! She truly is talented.

Cell phone pictures.. BLECHH

Glittified

Glitter makes everything better. I would glitter everything if it weren't so messy. I do however love glittering my toe nails. Put clear nail-polish on and just dump glitter while it's still wet. LOVE IT!! I did blue glitter for my sister right before she went into the hospital to give birth to her adorable little boy :)

Since I love it so much I decided one day that I would give it its own photoshoot. So I did, and there it is, and it made me happy.

THE END.

A tribute to the CB

The Cocoa Bean is by far the best cupcake shop in the world. It deserves its own post.
Reasons I love the CB:
1. spur of the moment cupcake cravings are fulfilled here
2. red velvet.. enough said
3. cream cheese frosting
4. they are big
5. the steeme hot chocolates are delish
6. they deliver to the MTC
7. I have a punch card and can now get a free drink
8. free wi-fi.. not that I really care, but they have a sign outside saying it so I thought it was important
9. they have a deal for a cupcake and a drink
10. free cupcake making schedules saying which flavors they are making each day (one is on our fridge)

Reasons I should not go:
1. They are fatty
2. They are delicious
3. I want to try every flavor
4. They are pricey
5. they taste so good
6. && I will eat too many

This was their valentines day special of Red Velvet.. yepp, everything I had ever dreamed of.

Cold Weather

He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')

Well it's a winding road
When your in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back here baby

One quote to rule them all..

This quite possibly could be my favorite quote of all times. It is so true unfortunately: 


"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism." 
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

Mumford & Sons addict

I have been listening to this melodic band all day. Some days you just have to plug in the little white buds and tune out everything else. Today is definitely one of those days..
