and that's a wrap.

i now am the proud owner of a legit craft box.

this week i altered a dress, decorated a cake,

worked on repainting my bird craft, and made my first chipboard album.

the album isn't done yet but it looks bomb. so stay tuned for the owl that will be added before long.

today was my last sunday at byu-idaho. i was surprisingly not sad. at all.

but i have loved being here. unlike so many people that can't wait to get out of rexburg, i loved it here. i loved how small it was. i loved my teachers. i loved the people i met. i loved the mountains, even though they were an hour away. i especially loved idaho in the springtime, and i'll be sad to miss it this year.

but that's okay. i'm excited for new things, and that means that leaving will be a good thing.

show and tell

there are three things that i am particularly thrilled about right now.

1. this backpack.

it's bri's old backpack. i have wanted it for about a billion years. but it was lost.. presumably given away. i was devastated. but brianna surprised me by bringing it out to utah this week. cause she found it. yayy :)))

2. this cheese grater.

i know you want to laugh. but don't. just try it. and let me know what you think. then just try to laugh.

3. best for last.

as a teenager, i read time magazine front to back every single week. loved that thing. and one week, there was about a six page article about this new thing that was coming out. it was called the iPhone.

i was obsessed with iPhones. i loved them. i was more passionately interested in them than you can imagine. probably more than was healthy.

but, i could not get one. not only because i was a poor 15-year old, but also because at&t service where i'm from sucks. so that was rough.

this is the phone i have had for the past two years.

it's wonderful if you're into the 100-decibel-vibrate, loud-clicking-keys kinda thing. which, as it turns out, i'm not.

luckily i have the coolest mom and dad in the world and as soon as verizon came out with an iPhone, i was allowed to put that baby in my hand and call it mine. greatest moment of my life.

i am on top of the world.

and yes that is a lion. i love lions. what can i say?!
