"At The Burrow" - Harry Potter Soundtrack

Okay last post about my bedroom :)

Here's a picture board that I acquired at the end of April when people were moving out and throwing things away. I think I have tried to cram as many pictures on there as possible.


These are two pictures that I had printed when I was in my photography class that I put above my dresser.

Obviously I like pictures....I could totally add more but I don't know how to do that and still make it look nice :)

"Absolutely" - Nine Days

Shelves. This project has taken a while because it took forever to get them hung. But huzzah they are up! More shells! My favorite :)










"Waking Up In Vegas" - Katy Perry

My roommates came down and visited back in September. I was so happy to see them but the trip was much too short. We had fun hanging out and playing on the Strip! Okay we just walked around and tried not to make eye contact with anyone. But we did go to the garden at the Bellagio and they had just changed the decor to fall and it was super pretty.


This picture is made entirely of flowers.

"Candles" - Hey Monday

Back in September, the month of Birthdays, we celebrated Meghan and Kaleen's birthday.

We made cake. Red Velvet. Oh my word that sounds so good right now. Ok focus, and so it kind of turned into a three way celebration.

Meghan put her candles in and we sang to her.


And then we had to celebrate Kaleen's.

Then I didn't want to be left out because I never got to have cake because it was graduation. I'm trying not to be bitter about it ;)

"Catch A Wave" - The Beach Boys

I officially have finished decorating my room. I promised Anna pictures a while ago, sorry Anna :), but now that I'm all done I'll share!

This is a project that I did a while ago. My mom found this surf board while I was gone in school. Then when I came home I was like yeah I totally use that surf board! Well I totally remembered it being like 5 feet. No, it's more like 10 ft...it took two of us to carry it up the stairs. And you can tell in the last picture that it goes all the way to the ceiling.

I decided to go pink and brown and I was a totally indecisive about what colors I wanted but after it was done I was happy with it!

"Locked Out of Heaven" - Bruno Mars

I'm sure by now you have figured out that if I haven't been blogging then there is nothing interesting going on in my life...or I'm too busy to blog anything.

Well since I'm not in school we can definitely eliminate the second option.

Sorry I don't have any interesting stories to share. Maybe I should have Kaleen do a guest post with the funny things her sunbeams say.

I think I might start doing book reviews. Of the books I've been reading.

Now I'm just rambling.

Here's some pictures of a sunset.

"Grease Lightning" - Grease

Happy Homecoming!

I wish for nothing more than to be in Provo right now. I woke up and realized that I would be missing the parade. They always came by our complex and we would t-shirts and candies and get to scream at half the people that I know. Then the Blackout game which I'm super bummed about. But at least I have my own black BYU shirt that I'll be wearing today.

This week we have had some crazy storms and a lot of rain. Which is great. We went a couple weeks without anything which was getting a little sad especially with how dang hot it's been. Huzzah though the windows are open and we've been in the 60s!

Back to the storms, Thursday night was crazy and I had this brilliant idea that I wanted to go chase the storm and take pictures. Of course after parking everywhere waiting nothing happened until we had to move to keep up with the storm. Kind of bummed I didn't get a lot of shots because the storm was moving about 25 mph. The one place I stopped to take pics had tons of street lights which totally messes up the light intake making it a lot harder to get a clearer shot of the lightning.

So Kaleen and I came home and then we had another wave pass over the house with tons more lightning. All I had to do was stand at my bedroom window to get the shots. I say for my first time and not really knowing how to do it, I got some cool shots!

"Photograph" - Nickleback

I finally managed to get frames up on my wall! woo! It's like the first time of my life I've hung something on the wall. I found this frame in a pair first at DI and loved them.
Then I found the three frames on the right and so I gots 5 frames and started thinking of how I wanted to put them up.
After much measuring and stuff I finally got them where I wanted to be.
This was an idea I found on Pinterest since I'm kind of going on a beachy them for my room.

I took all the glass out and just put my pictures right in the frames so huzzah they are done! And may I just say it's weird to have frames hanging on the wall above my head.

"Everybody Talks" - Neon Trees

I hope everyone had a good conference weekend. I have decided that it is so much harder to stay awake at home when the couches and blankets are so much more fluffier and comfortable.

Two important things to note.

One, we made a lot of cotton candy this weekend. A lot. But it's dang good. 
Two, of course we all know about the BIG announcement about missionaries, woo! I just have to say that this is not an announcement from me saying that I'm going. No way jose. I have a lot of feelings about it. It's great and fantastic. However the responses are a bit wishy washy. But I don't want to get ahead of myself.

If you were watching you may have noticed that the camera panned on the audience while President Monson spoke. This guy became famous in the matter of minutes.

People have been taking his picture and putting captions on them. Hilarious.

Now the complications of this announcement have arisen. What's gonna happen with BYU freshmen?




Another problem: now all of sudden people are saying they can go on missions. Um Hello? You've been able to go on missions already! I see these 18 year olds on facebook that are like yeah going on a mission now! And I'm like uhh maybe you should pray about that?

Trivia: this guy is President Uchtdorf's grandson. He has an identical twin brother.
I guess this one came out small but it's funny. It wouldn't be an Uchtdorf talk without airplanes!




Pictures found on BYU memes.

"Flower, Gleam and Glow" - Tangled

I'm sure you didn't know but I can been crafty. Sometimes. Well I think I should get bonus points for my crafitness. One I am actually crafting and two I am actually accomplishing crafts that I pinned on Pinterest! Booya!

So this idea was one I saw a while a go. They took the flower petals from their wedding bouqet, dried them out and them put them into an ornament so that she could perseve them and I was like dude that's genius!

I had the opportunity to be a bridesmaid back in August and I had my bouquet and though that I should totally attempt this and may I dare say it turned out pretty darn cute.


The bouquets for the wedding were goregous! Everyone at the temple kept stopping to comment on them.
I am also awarding myself points for creativity. I had to travel back to Vegas with the flowers so my mom had the genius idea to put them in a bag with wet paper towels which proved to work. Then I came up with the wonderful idea to hang them using a pant hanger because I didn't have any string or anything. Awesome right?

Ta-da! Then I used the twine that was wrapped around the bouquet to make the string it hangs from. I'm crafty people!

"Ho Hey" - The Lumineers

Mannequins.

Have you ever stopped whilst shopping to ponder the haunting mannequins that are supposed to be modeling the clothes for you to buy?

Oh you haven't? Well please look at these pictures.

Mind you these pictures were taken in high fashion department stores.


Criss-cross applesauce? Spider web? Preggers? We'll never know.
Ok this picture doesn't even do justice. The one on the right is on the tippy toes but leaning over. Please try and attempt that because it's hardly possibly. It's almost like it's being hung. The other one looks like a cross between lunges and falling backwards while maybe even constipated.

Neon. They were a lot more terrifying close up.

I just no even know what to say about this.

I'm confused if that's supposed to be where the butt ends or if they just amputated the legs?
