im so hood.

you cant say i didnt warn you.

nonetheless, here i am.

school starts on tuesday, and i am out-of-control excited. like really. im in my major classes now, ill be writing for the Daily Universe, im minoring in business management [free translation: classes in the tanner :) ], and ive got new clothes to do it all in. wooden table, anyone?

i moved to the bayhood. ok fine, its really called baywood, but lets get real--taylor found dirty panties under her bed. and if that doesnt convince you, consider the layers of dust and hair around our baseboards. or our lack of internet. or the dirty fridge, mildewed faucets, grimy washing machine, or bottle of honey spilled in my food cabinet. take your pick.

our ward is rumored to be 30-ish, with one-third of attendees as BYU students, another third as UVU students, and the remaining third as career-ees. our neighborhood is primarily mexican. haha i tried doing that with a straight face, but couldnt. seriously though...those little brownies run all around my hood. needless to say, you can find me back at alpine.

on the plus side, erika, taylor, and i finally all get to live together. rent is cheap, we're getting the internet TODAY!, and well, i cant think of any more pluses. kidding.

ill post pictures once i buy a new camera.

(side note: we emailed our land lord asking for some sort of compensation for the intense, deep cleaning we had to do in a supposedly "move-in ready" apartment. just proof were passionate).

aside from the incredibly stressful house hunting/moving/cleaning that has been my life the past few weeks, fun has been had. allow me to illustrate.

i went to san francisco to visit mother and bill. fine...mother and father. as always, it was a great time. i did plenty of shopping, bought a great dress i love more and more each time i wear, scoped out the infamous SparkArt, and as expected, ate.

but to really top off the trip, we all went to the boardwalk where bill and i rode several rollercoasters! it was hilarious. like pee-in-pants, lose your dentures, totally nauseous...hilarious. and yes, bill did do all of the above ;)




then there was our vegas night. we made drinks and really cute invites and dressed up. thats all.





bike riding. a new passion of ours. i currently own a magma. ive also equipped it with a basket, which really comes in handy for our ipod speakers.

we are the scene.









a bunch of boys from our ward are on the byu soccer team, so we went to their game against REAL. i was most excited because i got to make a shirt...im becoming quite crafty in my old age. the back said JERSEY CHAS'R and had a big 27 on it. funny, i know.







finally (trust me, im as bored as yall are by this point), we met jesse mccartney a little bit ago. hes a little boy, but he had the hots for me and my girls. how darling.

so thats all im going to say for now. ive been six days without fast food or fine dining now...and yes, that is an incredible accomplishment. needless to say, im starving! sacrifices.

alright love you all. hope everyone is alive and well.
