You guys sent me some great questions! &I can't wait to get to all of them :) I am thinking that some of them might need their own post. So I will get to working on that. Until then, keep asking away! 

So I have been HORRIBLE at posting my 30 for 30... I am bad bad bad. I feel like every post I have done for my 30 for 30 has always had an apology attached to it, not cool. So I am going to try my best to finish posting the rest of them! (Sorry Nana!) --- Yeah you read that right, my Nana loves my 30 for 30 posts and is wondering why she hasn't seen any of them for so long. So I have to make it up to her!

Life Should Be a Party....

+ Spending the weekend with my parents :) I love when I get to see them!

+ Making new friends, sounds cheesy but some of the people I am working with are a hoot! Shout out BROOKE! :)
+ Finding a yummy pizza place! Like Trevor and I need anymore good pizza places.... Pizza will be the death of us. If we ever going missing for a couple of days, come check our apartment to make sure we are not in a Pizza Coma.
+ Going to the Pratt Family Reunion and learning so much about my heritage. I love love love genealogy!
+ Feeling like I can finally find my way around Provo without getting lost.... maybe.

+ Having ice cream with some blogger friends, I love when you can finally meet in real life! haha

+ Running into Donny Osmond while at the ice cream store and having your mother go up to him and embarrass the heck out of you! But I am happy she did :) He was of course her idol growing up! haha More on that encounter later...

my stinkin' flip flops!

So today was one of those days where things just can't seem to go right. Trevor and I share a car, and today was my first official full day of work at my new job. I am a legal secretary for an Attorney here in Provo. So of course Trevor was running late, and since I drop him off at school, that meant that I was now running late. Usually I am early. I literally show up to work sometimes half an hour early, because I seriously hate being late. So I rush home to finish getting ready so I wont be late for work on my first official day. I rush to my car, I rush to work, I am pulling into work when I look down and realize, I put on my everyday rainbow sandals. MY STINKIN' FLIP FLOPS! If you could only see where I work you would understand how horrified I was. The building looks like a Mansion, everything in it is really nice and the employees all dress to match and there I was in my beach sandals. Normally I would have been so early I would have had ample time to go home and get on some new shoes, but of course with my luck, not today! Dilemma. Then the thought comes into my mind that my little sister's apartment is much closer then mine, I call her.... she is of course already at class and she doesn't know if anyone is at her apartment. I decide to take the chance and go to her place hoping someone is there who will let me in so I can pick through my sister's closet for some shoes. I knocked, and knocked, and knocked. I mean were in Provo, maybe some stranger off the street will be kind enough to just let me borrow some of their shoes on my good word that I will return them?! haha It was seriously a thought that crossed my mind. Yeah I guess I was that desperate. So I keep knocking. No one answers. (I found out later someone was home! UGH!)  By now I realize I am going to be late for work if I go back to my place and get some shoes, so I decide I better call into the office and the girl who is training me insists it isn't a big deal if I come in with my sandals on. So rather then be late, I came into work today wearing really nice clothes, and some flip flops. groan. I was so embarrassed, but no one really seemed to mind. I love how your brain fools with you when you are uncomfortable. I swore everyone was looking at my feet, haha. Really they weren't, I was just paranoid.  Anyways, I absolutely hate when days go like that! *sigh*

What a great way to start the week, I swear Holidays sometimes are like a double-edged sword. They are fun to have, but when they are not that long, for example a long weekend, it just throws me off! Hope you all are having a better start to your week haha :)

Labor Day!

Hope you are all enjoying your day off. I know I am! Since it is technically the end of summer, Trevor and I have lived it up this weekend spending tons of time together :) I have missed him since he has been cooped up studying since school started. I love how Labor Day just happens to be on a Monday, perfect timing for a life should be a party post :)

Little to Big things I am celebrating in my life as of late...

+Discovering a new Strawberry Lemonade brand. It is yummilicious &if you like Red Robin Lemonade then this is the next best thing you can get at your grocery store! I am in love, haha.

+ I am loving our new apartment and ward we moved into :) Excited to meet new people and make some friends down here in Provo.

+Loving the summer sun that is starting to die down so it is bearable. Fall is the best season here in Utah in my opinion.

+Spending all day at the water park with Trevor :)

+Stuffing ourselves with all you can eat pizzas... the dessert ones get me every time!

+Sending my bestie really inappropriate yet hilarious voice mail messages.

+Getting a job that had over 130 applicants, I was so nervous, and I am so excited :)

+Having a husband be so sweet to me because I was in pain. Um yes, embarrassingly enough I chafed in between my legs from the shorts I wore to the water park! Weird?! Um yes, haven't had that since I was like, oh 6 years old! haha

+Buying a cute hot coral/pink sports bra to give me a boost towards being better at working out, since I have gotten lazy lately &have been drinking way too much for this strawberry lemonade.

---(On that note, how is everyone's 30 for 30 coming along? I am trying to find a better way for all of us to talk about it, any ideas? Maybe if I had you guys around I wouldn't have skipped a couple days :x yikes!) haha

P.S. 4 more days to enter the $100 Sephora Giveaway! 

hairy situation.

  This is my hair after I blow dry it :) haha Beautiful I know!

My hair is naturally wavy, and super super thin. Because the wave in my hair is in between curly and straight, I usually always have to touch it up with an iron to go either way. Although I have always hated having such thin hair, I think it is the reason why I am able to either curl or straighten my hair really well. So I guess you could say I get the best of both worlds! (at least this thin hair can offer me something of value, haha) But with that said, thin hair tends to fall out... when you brush it, style it, pretty much when you move it at all haha. So I am always looking for products that can minimize this for me. Because I get tired of people picking hair off of me, and I bet poor Trevor is tired of finding long strands of blonde hair all over the apartment.

My old straightener was on the fritz so when the very nice people from Misikko sent me over a top of the line flatiron I was beyond giddy! They sent me over the Hana and I didn't hesitate to whip it out and give it a try :) The Hana is a 100% pure ceramic iron, which is the best type of iron you can be using on your hair, plus ceramic iron also don't rip out as much of my thin hair, BONUS. Misikko has all different kinds of brands when it comes to hair care. One brand they also carry that I love is the Chi Iron which my sister-in-law swears by (she is a hairdresser)!

The Hana is actually one of the first affordable 100% ceramic irons out there &it was featured in Marie Claire and Redbook magazine, so that is saying something!

Voila, straight hair! &I didn't even loose any hair while straightening it :) 

Sorry for the gross yellow lighting from the bathroom!
