the most random of all posts

this lyric has been stuck in my head the last two days...

"and all at once the crowd begins to sing, sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"

this video is pure gold. and by pure gold i mean i-cant-stop-watching-because-i-love-aj-and-tori-and-the-biebs-so-freaking-much.

and last, but not least, this has been my life the last couple days...

loving my job, and these two

freezing my behind off with chelsie at cory's championship soccer game

this may not look like much to you...

but it's my newww haaaard driiiiiive!!!!!!!!!

i represented during the kansas/kentucky game last night...

but it wasn't enough, kansas lost :'(

and this morning i missed three classes (on accident)

but when i finally awoke, i curled up in cory's blanket and read my scriptures

and it was fantastic

and i didn't even regret sleeping through class

and thus ended the 48974819th year of the reign of the judges...

thai thursday, tumblr thursday, thirsty thursday

i woke up and really liked today. first, because i immediately looked at my phone and realized it was 11:30. i really enjoy sleeping late. second, because i woke up to a text message from chelsie that said, "i am so excited for thai food today" and then i realized that today was thai thursday... imagine my sheer joy. if you haven't experienced the magic that happens at original thai on main street in rexburg idaho, repent and then go! only $7.25 for any lunch dish plus a crab rangoon. i should be paying them. seriously. please feast your eyes upon the deliciousness that entered my belly today.

i hope only positive words entered your brain. because trust me, it tasted as mind-blowingly phenomenal as it looks. today is also the day that i decided to finally order my new hard drive for my poor computer that died about a month ago (moment of silence please...okay, moment's over). 

and, drumroll please... tumblr thursday. sometimes i contemplate the discontinuation of tumblr thursday on this blog, but then chelsie confessed today that she loves it, so i'll keep it. for her, and the rest of you that enjoy it.

(this little cutie was the guy from "up" for halloween, presh)

idk why i threw thirsty thursday in there... it just felt right. maybe because i'm going to be drinking plenty of vitamin C today in an effort to get feeling better. sickness once a semester should be enough! i thought i was done with this. woe is me. t-minus 1.5 hours til i leave for work. in that time i plan on cleaning my room and unloading the dishwasher, and maybe watching desperate housewives. here i go...

the perfect indian summer

for those of you who don't know, rexburg is unseasonably cold for most of the year. not all of idaho. no, just rexburg. my very first semester here, it started snowing on october 5th and we didn't have our last snow until june 6th. i don't know about you, but i think 8 months of snow is like five too many. 

well this semester has been different. it's chilly in the morning, warm and sunny all day, and then cool again when the sun goes down. i'm not complaining at all. it's perfect. today i felt like going for a drive. i just had an urge. there's something about driving around with the sun roof open, not having a destination, and music blaring that's just so... magical. it's when i'm the absolute happiest.

chelsie joined me today for a drive followed by an adventure at the haunted swings. i loved every second of it. please forgive me for not wearing pants, and for having retarded faces in every single one of these pictures. i was just caught up in the fantasticness of it all.

she's a cutie

i like her

and the weather

and rexburg

and my life

except for the fact that i'm sick... that kinda sucks
