Good Life

for no particular reason, today is a good day.
it's probably a happy hangover from my family reunion, and i'm okay with that.

Today I have a MOUNTAIN of homework to finish, but instead i was reminiscing. I was looking back through my 2012 pictures, and my pictures from Christmas - April when i was still home, and there are so many goodies that slipped through the cracks! and by 'so many' i mean 41. so feel free to skim and then skip this post. it is literally of no importance. but i DIED laughing at a few of these pictures. I completely forgot that any of these pictures existed!

If you feel inclined, then enjoy!

1. My school had a glow in the dark rally on my birthday like two years ago and for some reason i felt it necessary to wear this GIGANTIC bow on my face. Rory stole it during seminary, and of course i made him take a picture, because it's RORY.


2. when planking was popular, i thought it was SO DUMB. but secretly i did it and just never showed anyone the pictures because i was embarrassed to be a part of the ridiculous trend. Most of the pictures were permanently lost because the fad was popular during like, summer 2011, and that's when our computer crashed. sad day, too because some of my planks were awesome. oh well. here's one that survived because it was taken in January 2012 on a trip to yosemite.

3. All throughout high school my friends and i sat at this tree during lunch. Until senior year when we were all in ROP drama so we got to hang out in the back dressing room like cool kids. but we wanted a picture with it just for funsies. Ernesto's face is priceless.


4. at my cousin Marla's wedding. this picture was in my "NEVER PUT ON FACEBOOK" folder. haahaha
 me and my brotha, Jonathan.


5. Mah boys. after their last playoff game. they're all crying :')


6. me and homedog Travis before Prom. I forgot my camera that day (travesty) so all the pictures i have are from other people. 


7. My favorite teacher, Mrs. Watterson. haha i didn't even know that this existed! but it was taken on my camera! 

 8. Ignore Brandon and Tianna in the front.... notice me being hug attacked by Ozzie and Trey in the background. LOVE that.


9 & 10. I worked at a law firm the summer after high school. it was such an amazing experience! One day we had a 'day of burgers' at lunch. we also had a 'day of bacon',  day of pizza, 'find the best taco in madera' day, and a mexican day (separate). we pretty much had a party every week. lawyers need SOME kind of entertainment. I LOVED this job. this picture is of a sign up sheet i made. please note the dancing burger, chip bag and juice box in the margins. also, please note that i brought bacon and ketchup. what more could you need on a hamburger?


When the after olympics started, i marched up and down the halls of the office making trumpet noises to the tune of the olympic fanfare and i wore red white and blue the whole week. I also sang a lot and drew pictures on the whiteboards in the conference room for the entertainment of the attorneys. They loved me, i'm sure....
except for Dave, who always kept his office immaculate on his own so i wouldn't have to go in there, and who kept his door shut, and he watered his own plants, and he would bring me his files on his own in stead of letting me pick them up from his office. and he always very short with me if i had a question but COME ON DAVE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE ALL OF YOUR CASES IN LESS THAN A WEEK. give me a break! 
one day, his door was shut and i was filing in the next room over and i heard him singing along to 'teardrops on my guitar'. i literally laughed out loud. 
moving on from that rant...


I also had tons of down time there. i read the entire Harry Potter Series as well as 40 of the 100 best children's chapter books. 


 11. this little guy made me so happy! I painted him on my car like, october 2011 before our rival football game. And he stayed on the passenger window until late March, 2012, when Donny needed the car to go on his honeymoon, so he washed it off :(


 12. So i went on a big fun group date with my friend Zane and i tried to take a cute picture of us? nope. this happened instead. HA. this was also in my never put on facebook folder. hahaha


 13 &14. I miss Brandon. lots. these were taken the night before Jason left for Arkansas and the boys came over for dinner. I love them!


15. I had to do this stupid media hunt for a class in the fall and i was bored, so this happened.

 16. this is me, dreaming of the word y'all. because when boys say y'all i melt into a puddle


17. HAHA. i cut Jonathan's hair, and i tied him up like a mental patient during the process.


18. I'm wheezing right now from laughing so hard. this is my apartment on the last day of school fall semester. EVERYTHING on the floor in this picture is mine. HOW my roommates didn't kill me, i don't know.


19.  This was my American foundations history teacher in the fall. he had a denture whistle that i loved and he was also probably the best history teacher I've ever had. 


 20. Those boots. happy happy happy


21. Jonathan posing in temple square. what a ham.


22. Jenna Bear at Christmas. the sweet thing was still crawling, and she was bald and adorable.

23 & 24. HAHA. i played pin the nose on Rudolph one night with Caleb and Natalie while their mom and my parents went to the temple. hahaha these pictures are great. they look like hostages, but i promise they were having fun.


25. I went to Disneyland with a group of my best friends and this picture was taken at like midnight when we left the park, completely exhausted and delirious. too good. also in my never put on facebook folder :)


26. I shared a room with Caleb from about February-April. HILARIOUS. Bub talks in his sleep. it is super funny. He also sleeps totally spread eagle, also funny. 


27. I would often wake up to pictures or notes from Natalie. This was my valentine, complete with almonds.
adorable.

28. I nannied while i was home in the winter, these are the two oldest kids Macey and Stockton.


29 & 30. snapchat. The best and worst invention of all time
the first picture is of me, patrick, janelle and rory. awk. hahaha awkward on all accounts. I was twitterpaited over patrick and let's face it, Janelle and Rory are getting married whether they like it or not so they were subject to the snapchat stalking as well.


31. Easter morning we got up really early and climbed up onto the roof to watch the sunrise. happy.


32. I babysat for the Reeds a few times while i was home, too and these girls are HILARIOUS. i didn't tell them to this. i was taking a picture of something else to send to a friend and happened to have my camera app on when i turned around to see these two goofballs. haha


33 & 34.. when the Utah sisters came to visit in March - so fun!



35. weasel trying to avoid my constant point and shoot
DEAL WITH IT, JENAE.



36 -38. ISAI!!! I love this kid. calls me randomly and invites me to see a play. uhmm, yes. done. and we wer talking about the movie 'aquamarine' and i mentioned that i'd always wanted to try ben & Jerry's phish food because of that movie. that was just a random comment. After the play we went to baskin robbins to get a vanilla cone, but it was closed. so we went to walmart and bough phish food and cheapo spoons. haha He's the best.
Phish food was good.
I still prefer vanilla. (in a sugar cone, packed by a grandma)


hipsta-hipsta Isai


39. the trip up to Idaho, my bike was completely frozen. it looked like a giant dirty popsicle. ha.



40-43. I AM SHERLOCKED
but really. one day while putting off homework in like April, I watched a movie about stephen hawking starring Benedict Cumberbatch. AAAAAAnd then he was in star Trek. aaaand then i watched Sherlock. *faints*
smitten.
and besides the handsome men, it's just a really good show! minus the awkward 30 minutes with that girl...
I JUST LOVE BENEDICT, OKAY?!

 Ignore all the pinterest tabs open in this screen shot...ha. 
THOSE CHEEKBONES.
You could cut your hand slapping his face.
done. DUN.
so i spent like 3 whole days watching the entire show and got ALL emomtionally invested but then 

*SPOILER ALERT BELOW!*



Sherlock kills himself.

WHAT THE HECK.

at first i was like THIS
and then i literally screamed this
and then i was like THIS
and then this


I was like: this...
ugh.

It was beautiful, because he did it to save John Watson's life, but STILL, SHERLOCK, WHY?!
and Watson crying at his grave. ugh. ripped me apart. 






*sigh*

ANYway. haha

Really if homework if the only thing i have to complain about, It's a good life.
