good summer reads...

I hardly ever read any kind of books (besides the book of mormon). Right now I am attempting (slowly) to read The Notebook. It is a great book and I am actually about halfway through, but it is taking me forever!
I really wish I had the time and dedication to read books, and I think I am going to focus on doing just that this summer! I have a little list of choices and hopefully I will get to the majority of these books...

Something Borrowed
Eragon
Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief
Pretty Little Liars
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
I Still Dream About You

I have only heard good things about these books and I am excited to read them, but I would love some more options and your opinion on good books you have read!
Please let me know of the good reads I am missing out on!

good buys and such

my good buy this week...
a super cute jewelry holder from wonderful T.J.Maxx.
i had all of my necklaces hanging from wall hooks before and that worked pretty well but this little rack is so stinkin cute i had to get it, and it matches my room perfectly...yay!
here is the beauty... :)

i'm not sure if this was a good buy or a bad buy on his part but jon bought me a disneyLAND shirt when he went to california for spring break...


we always argue (playfully of course) about which is better walt disneyWORLD or disneyLAND. of course living in florida for most of my life i am going to say that disneyworld definitely has my heart and always will. (and i have never been to disneyland, but come on what sounds better and in all reality is better...WORLD or land? haha)
of course disneyland has his heart because he's never been to disneyworld, this shirt was probably a good buy coming from him, but if he thought that the shirt would sway my mind into liking disneyland more he is so mistaken! ;)
(sometime i will buy him the best disneyWORLD shirt ever, and i will sway his mind!) :)

what do you think is better...
disneyland or disneyworld? :)

daydreamer

this semester, daydreaming has hit me so hard! i have the hardest time staying focused in class and out of class. my mind is constantly wandering, and there is only one person to blame for this. (blame is probably the wrong word choice though, because i love love love daydreaming...especially when i daydream about him.) :D

Spring Break!

last week was Spring Break, so my good friends Sara, Kat, Jessica, Jena, and I went down to St. George for a few days! It was a lot of fun and really pretty! And to add to it all...it was in the 70's the whole time! Yay!
While we were there we went to the St. George temple, spent sometime in the hotel's nice hot tub and pool, went to Zion's National Park, ate tons of food, went shopping, and watched movies :)
Here are a few pictures from the trip!

oh it is love...

plaid shirts...

boat shoes...
