Summer Adventure: Part 1

Last weekend my parents left for date night. 
and Zane was out of town. 
That left Brooke. 
And I.


Yes please. I love datenight with Brooke.
I was headed out on an adventure to get some sticks [for a project I will be judged for and consequently tell you about at a later date] at the ranch, and Brooke came along. 
It was a lovely night, and the sun was casting that perfect kind of late-evening glow on everything. 
That's where the magic is.


After our adventure took the long way home by the lake, which happens to be our favorite way.

I mean, it looks like this....can you blame us for loving it?
Or sticking our heads out the window to take pictures?

This particular trip, though, the enticement was more than we could bear. 
We left the country music blasting in the truck for a minute while we went down to the lake side.
Needless to say, the fun of it all....
baby frogs, pretty leaves, shimmering water...
drew us a little too close to the water. 
Then it turned in to accidental mud up to our ankles,
and lots of skid marks.


and very dirty shoes.


and muddy feet.


but lots of "I love yous"
and fun memories.



It was worth every moment and speck of mud.

More spring adventures.

That, down there, is what my fridge looked like at the beginning of this week.
And that is pathetic.
so pathetic that it's blog worthy.
[please note that none of that is edible food...thanks]
Never fear, mom! I went and got real food :)
in other, less pathetic realms of my life..... 
Every afternoon this week has been spent outdoors.

Even though outdoors means "The Reluctant Mr Darwin"...
which wasn't exactly on the summer book list if you know what I mean.

But there's fun things too I promise.



like re-creating canon center meals. 
with chicken cordon bleu, frozen vegetables, and waffles. 
all the reasons for the freshman 15, together on one plate.
isn't it beautiful?


and cookie parties with really cool english people... and people going to England.
and engagement ring cookies to match. 
or as it was so lovingly called in class today...
en-gag-ment.


And crafts!
like an earring holder with a finger-painted DI frame.

and experimenting with new hairstyles.


and going to the temple that I love so much.


and sitting on the benches outside the temple. 
soaking up sunshine and the general splendor.


and finally, we come to the reason for the current, crimson nature of my back
the roof..... ;)
with it's privacy and girltalk and... proximity to the sun?

 
Just some more reasons I love spring semester, that's all.

Day 14: Wind in your hair

Today I'm grateful for sunshine.
Someday I hope to own one of these...

Because...
1. I love wind. is that weird?
2. I could have 5+ extra minutes to get ready...or sleep....everyday
3. This is the first time in my life that I've lived somewhere that has sidewalks,
so thus, this is the first time in my life I have been in a place where i could use a bike.

I think the storm comes tomorrow, so tomorrow I'll focus on loving that.
But until then, I'll dream of owning a bike.
