the best and craziest year of my life all combined into the lowest quality anything that I've ever created.
And I couldn't be happier with it.
January 2014
december started out the best way possible
WITH A BIRTHDAY
eric's roommates helped me out so much with the surprise party and balloon blow upping. it was the funnest.
i can't figure out how to make videos work on here, but whatever.
we went ice skating with new birthday sweater
stephanie did this super crazy thing to my hair !!!
after that, i drove straight into a pile of snow and tore off my front bumper and was a little late to eric's show at velour.
definitely a night of ups and downs
my school was the prettiest in december
kay and i made chocochip pancakes and ALMOST FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE BEFORE THEY WERE ALL EATEN. but then we remembered at the last second. my hair was still crazy at this point.
my roommates and i finally used our fireplace and had the coziest stoopiest christmas.
my work had their christmas party and i dressed for the holiday.
eric's work also had a christmas party that we went to, but i didn't take any pictures of that.
i met up with my road warrior bff in slc for some brunch at the copper onion. SO GOOD. also, if you haven't seen any of haley's incredible skills, please do that here.
that night eric and i spent some time with my sister and her husband in their cutest apartment up by the U. after that we stopped off to get some hot cocoa before seeing the lights, and who do we see!?!?!? my favorite ever kati ditty. i was beside myself with happiness.
clearly.
the rest of the week was spent with family and it was one of the best christmases i have had in a long time. i am so blessed with the family and friends that i have in my life.
including these two pups! how did canute get so big so quickly?
the very last day of december was spent with my other favorite people in the entire world. my best friends who have truly proven to me over the years that they're more like family.
november was actually really warm.
2013 was really great at not making me miserable with cold.
during november, eric loved dropping dinner off for me at work and leaving the cutest notes on napkins
hottest boyfriend. we went out for station 22 and had the funnest sodas. then we met up with andrew and his gf and went to see ender's game.
i took myself out to see my favorite musical at UVU and it was SO GOOOOD. i wanted to go a billion more times, but i went at the end of the run and life just got so busy.
eric and i were the most college student and got our favorite two jacks pizza while doing homework
p town gave me the prettiest sunsets
while i was in france, a guest started staying at the hotel i work at who left in november. he would bbq for me all the time while i was at work or pick me up dinner. he was a great friend while he was here but i know his wife and brand new baby need him right now much more than utah does! congrats, jeremy!
i did an event with the prettiest tooco royalty girls
a giant check was involved
eric and i took a mini road trip to visit bekah and see her sing in her ward! she was beautiful and is so talented as always. i think my phone deleted the cutest twin/awkward smile pic of eric and bekah, but these ones of our photo shoot survived.
found a dino on the drive home! of course we had to stop.
i had to go to a mexican themed music thing for one of my classes and UVU's percussion ensemble's fall performance was CALLED Mexico. Eric is a percussionist and was so nice to not only go with me, but take me as his date. it worked out just great. also i got some more use out of my halloween skirt, so that's cool.
my cute friend bekah wrote about this best ever high school reunion on her cute blog so go over there and read about this.
my roommates and i got a head start on christmas
eric has the best family in the whole world and they invited me up to spend the week with them at a condo that they rent out every thanksgiving week. my phone also deleted quite a few pictures from this trip, but it was so fun. tetris was played. hot tubs were sat in. laughs were laughed.
and pants were bought.
eric went to 5,000 outlet stores and finally picked up these high school sized beauties. i told myself i wasn't going to get anything, but then i found these great pants that i couldn't pass up. i am able to wear them to work though, so i justified it.
so many stripes. so much camouflage.
november was so great and i'm so glad that i got to spend it with the people that i love most!
