happy birthday.

Lagoon yesterday was fabulous. There is nothing more happy than spending your entire day with someone who is really neat.

so much goodness this week

WE GOT A NEW KITTY CAT. My mom has been watching too much Cats 101 lately. Heh heh heh. Basically she started wanting a cuddly lap cat because Gary is a psychotic, rowdy crazy that just wants to play all the time. Completely spontaneous, she went to the animal shelter and got this little bundle of joy. She is the sweetest most cuddly cat ever. She even purrs and meows like a normal cat. Imagine that! I LOVE HER. So so so much. Her name is Pippi.



(of course, Gary is still my one true love.)



On Friday it was Chris's birthday. The big 2-0!! Crazy! We finally went to Sammy's Cafe in Provo for his birthday. Dang it was good. And we went shopping and mini golfing and all kinds of neat things. It was just a really fun day.



We also longboarded Provo Canyon this week.







And we celebrated Meggie's birthday!





And now we are having a nice relaxing Father's Day. Happy Day, Pops!



What a good week.

on fire

me, you and ZABUMBAFU

So me and Chris went to the zoo today and had buckets of fun. I was in a rush and forgot my camera, so here are some phone pictures. Which are actually pretty dern good.



Chris was just so, so excited. And then we saw this giraffe licking the wall forever. I almost died of funny. Look at its HUUUUGE tongue.



Nice guys.



And then we saw the sandcat, which is my favorite.



And THEN, we turned the corner to go see the gorilla and look what we saw. This crazy peacock courtshipping a lady peacock. Ahhh nature. Glorious, isn't it?



I swear we were the only ones that saw it.



Coolest thing I have ever seen.



I try so hard to like monkeys. But I....just ....can't. I was DETERMINED not to see any monkeys throwing up and eating their own vomit multiple times like last time. Yeah, thank heavens that didn't happen. A monkey just spread its legs and peed at us about three feet in front of us instead. UGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Besides that, lovely time. Chris gives hilarious commentary. And they even have robotic dinosaurs there now. I love the zoo.

day 17: BLOG NEGLECT/flavorite memory

Disneyland with Chris. The few days before and the day of that he asked me to be his guurl. And all the times with Chris that are the best. Lake Powell. Oregon for Orch tour. Africa. MGMT and Muse in concert too. And the week of graduation with all my frenz. This here stuff.

day 14: my dreamz.

Marry this crazy person



Live in Oregon somewhere near the coast



Be one of these with animals always surrounding me all over like this



Just any profession where I get to see/work with animals, really. Anything. I'd also love to do something in fashion.
I dream of being rich enough to go to New York and SHOP the days away. And owning a wardrobe filled with JCrew, Anthropologie and UO.
I dream of reading piles and piles and piles of books.
I also dream of meeting Sondre Lerche and JK Rowling and the men of MGMT.
I also want bout 3 (ginger) children, and a menagerie. I want cats. Dogs. Bunnies. Goats. Birds. Fish. A giant aquarium. So many freakin' fish cause I freakin' love them. And rodents. All of it. And I want, I NEED, CHUCKENS, WANDERING ALL OVER MY FRONT YARD.
And I wanna travel the world with Chris doing good things. And to grow old with my 11 best friends and rock on our porches til dusk discussing the wonders of life.
I want to die shortly after my hubz does, or vise versa. And to die satisfied. And go to heav. I'm excited.
It all BETTER come true.

hahahaha

From today's email:

"I ALMOST FORGOT! Me and Elder Shannon went to the finest, closest tree we could find and have been mending and creating wands! I have only been attacked by dementors 3 times so far, but I am NOT risking it anymore. Thats what I feel like the MTC is. Hogwarts. "

My own Ron Weasley. He cracketh me up.

day 7: my best fren.

Well, I've got 11. Here they are.


The Ace Gang, Jade not pictured.
Shmeg: Ginger and the sweetest.
Ratch: The funniest and an absolute saint.
Charon: Can shake dat booty. She's our mom.

Hadduh: Shares my obsession for cats and fashioon. Love it. Love it.
Alexxxx: Can beat up anyone and is a fantastic friend.
Linzo: Risk taker, riot maker, sly freaker. Not scared of anything. A crack up.
Britt-P: Best stories ever and laughs at everything and can make me laugh forever.

Kelpee: One of the most real people I know. Also hilarious and laughy.
Jerd: Incredible artist, best sense of humor of all times.

And then the ultimate best:


I miss texting that boy to all hours of the night and playing nazi zombies and snowboarding and watching the Office and talking about nonsense and going to aquariums and dancing in the kitchen and making up words. And and and forever and ever.

I literally would be a lost soul in the world without you people. LOVE YOU

day 2: my first lurve.

Oh, heavens. I started out soon. (Let's not even go into how early I was kissin' them boys.) My first love was in Michigan, in first grade. This adorable boy named Tony Stefanski sat next to me on the first day of school and my heart throbbed. (Ew. That sounded kind of gross.) One time he injured his knee playing soccer at recess. I creepily watched from a distance as he was carried off the field. And then I started crying because I thought that he would die because he was hurt so bad. I was in love.

But no, I really wasn't. Just extremely smitten.
My first love, my first REAL love, is Crusby, of course.



No matter all the crushes and boyfriends I've had over my years, I've never felt like this. This incredible. And I could go on and on for eons so I'll quit now. I just love him. There isn't a word strong enough.


** CREEPIEST sidenote of all time. I just looked up Tony Stefanski on Facebook...and found him. Ahhhhhhhh.

not engagements. (i wish.)

^ That face. My insides just exploded.









My mom took some and Chris's brother-in-law Jude took the others. These are favorites. The rest are on my Facebook.
These will get me through 2 years.
Okay, I'll stop posting about Chris now. Maybe.
