It's here, It's now, It's hot

let the summer adventures begin!

 It all started with a little Kayak trip, when I say little, I mean little.

The waves were pretty big and the tide was NOT on our side

While working off the farmers tan,

We did a little rock climbing..

..my summer tan line goal. It's going to be sweet!

My other summer goal, MASTER the rip stick

Working on my "athletic stance" 

 He had days of practice on me.. unfair advantage

But I pretty much am in love with rip stickin'

END OF STORY

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!

Some days I just have a lot to say

So I get excited and post twice. But The first one was just a deed that had to be done so this one i'm considering my nightly post.

Speaking of nights.. This was the gorgeous 50 degree hot spell that occurred tonight. It was so nice outside!! There was a slight breeze but it (for once) wasn't freezing. So Kyla and I got on our swim suits and ran through the sprinklers.
..Well actually we put on our sweatshirts and went for an evening stroll until it was dark. But hey, at least we didn't have to put on our coats.


Another sad loss in our apartment. We finally took her and softly set her in the dumpster for the next pick up so she can go on and start a new journey.

If you can see our favorite fun-house mirror is now cracked in a billion places. I was told that it was found just laying on the ground.. but I think "someone" was pulling a Snow White and it couldn't handle reflecting the unfortunate white child. (By the way, this happened when I was in California.. so it was definitely not me).

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

Indecisive Header & a sun shiny day!

This is the one, and i'm not going to change it again... today.

Recently switching to a graphic design major has got my creative juices flowing! I think I created a header that will last longer than the average life span of headers on my blog though.

(my adorable niece)

On the other hand...
Today is a beautiful sunshine filled day! Thank goodness the snow yesterday didn't stick. I guess snow then warmth is considered a Rexburg spring? Well I like it as long as it's not all snow.

and on the other hand...
Today has been disgusting. I hate the feeling you get right before you throw up. I would rather lick a toilet seat than throw up, it is the absolute worst! When I got home, I had that feeling :/ I striped all my layers and school junk all over my bedroom floor and slid into my blankets with the window open and the fan cranking. I tried to fall asleep but paranoid of the upchuck feeling. The good news; I didn't puke and my room smells like spring because of the open window and fan in it. The bad news; the feeling is still there, I am at the awkward stage of not knowing whether to eat because my stomach hurts but I don't want to risk eating and seeing it shortly after.

This is one of those moments when you just want to be laying on your couch at home with your mommy there to take care of you and hold your hair when you spew. 

Mallory Vs. Kyla

Kyla always wins.
    for instance:

As we were sitting on the third floor of the new BYUI-Center, Amber Merrill needed a pencil to go take her test that she has been so vigorously studying for. Mallory being the kind, tender-hearted person that she is offered to let Amber take her stunning sea-glass green mechanical pencil to the testing center (after already having brought Amber her I-card from home which she accidentally forgot). Mallory thought she was on such a great streak with her new found friend Amber. I mean first bringing her I-card, and now lending her pencil! Without Mallory, there was no way Amber would have been able to take her test. She would have had to walk all the way back to our apartment in the blizzard snow and wind and chance missing the deadline for her test. Mallory was the superhero.
THEN.. suddenly Kyla jumps into the situation. She forcefully pushes her #2 wooden pencil into Ambers hands right before Mallory has the chance to get her incredible lucky pencil out. Amber takes the pencil with gratitude and completely ignores Mallory's gentle offer.

Now we sit here, waiting for Amber to get back, waiting to see how the pencil was, waiting for her to tell us that the pencil had broken and she had no way to sharpen it, waiting for a horrible story, waiting to know that if she would have taken my pencil- she would have aced her test. But no, she chose to kick it old school and go all Tichondaroga on us.

Should I wear a jacket today?

This is the greatest invention of a website EVER.

You type in the city, and it lets you know if you should wear a jacket!

it then lets you know why!
Great.. I know

Art Major

Being an Art major is requiring me to take a whole bundle of Art History classes.  What we're learning is extremely interesting but at the beginning i was thinking it was a mistake to take Art History I and Medieval Art the same semester. I am memorizing the name, artist, and era for about 40 paintings and sculptures for EACH class. Insanity! Not to mention the fact that they are "art" so just about every man in the book is naked. They all look very similar so you REALLY have to take a good look. Blechhh.. Just when I thought my brain was going to shift into overload, a miracle happened. For my Art History class, the last two sections are going over the Islamic and Early Christian era's, therefore; I already know all of the art because those were the last section of my Medieval Art class!!!! I have never been so happy to see the title of a section be Medieval in my entire life.

In Rexburg, today is a bit of a gloomy grey day. It made me a little happy to see a slight drizzle rather than a snow drift up against my window. It makes me even more excited to go back home for the summer.. IN FOUR WEEKS!!!

IDAHO vs. WASHINGTON?

Washington wins ANY DAY!!! I am not a big fan of the land-locked-ness

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
