{tooo sad to come up with a title}

School starts.

and this is all i have to say about it:

......................:/

my summer went by tooooo fast.

im not ready for responsibility yet.

im not ready to lose my tan

my somewhat of a social life

my insanity.

2 weeks.

thats all.

{a new like}

I saw this and it made my day:)

now if only i could get the new "like" interest in my life

to think the same thing.

thats right, i have a new summer crush and he is D-R-E-A-M-Y

for reals.

lets just say, his eyes and smile make me giddy like a school girl

and his voice melts me every time we talk.

more about him a little later.

{To the best}

Happy Daddy's day

to the greatest man that has ever/will ever embraced my life.

I am so honored that I was able to learn and be by his side

for my 1st 21 yrs. of life.

He taught me everything I need to know to survive.

He taught me to be my own self

to be strong

hardworking

respectful

spiritual

loving

to love life

I love him more than words can say.

I missed him terribly yesterday.

I just wanted to hold his big, rough hands

and lay my head on his shoulder, but I couldn't physically-

so I did spiritually

and of course, he was there waiting for me.

I love you dad:)

p.s. photos and stories of my summer adventures to come soon, when I slow down a little!

{Smarty pants.....what?}

Thats right.

I had a great semester.

4.0 BABY

4.0!!!

first time in my whole school career.

Life is good:)

and now the summer time fun begins.

Life is really good:)

{My new Life}

go {here} if you can't see the full screen

Just when I think that my life is going through

rough waters, I think of Stephanie of the NieNie Dialogues.

She simply amazes me.

Her attitude, her faith, her life.

my new goal: be like her.

She puts life in the right perspective: Simple. nothing fancy. just the real things that matter.

I love her strength, wisdom, and humor. she makes me want to be better.

And I love my church. It is so amazing and for some reason I always forget.

My favorite part about this messages is when Stephanie talks about her spirit tapping her heart and letting her know why she still exists on this earth.

I found that so inspiring and how I need to listen to my spiritual taps more.

so thank you Stephanie.

Thank you for reminding me the real reasons why we are here.

I L-O-V-E this quote. defiantly one of my all time favorites.

I take this quote and try to make it my everyday goal in my projects, behavior, and actions.

I encourage you all to do the same.

Have a great weekend.

go {here} for the image

STUDIO

baby.

I am happy:)

so so happy.

BEST WEEKEND EVER.

{How lovely}

I found this today on the NEO-traditionalist.

I thought it was beautiful.

and just in time for General Conference.

and review.

its amazing how so few words can describe so much.

Happy Easter Weekend everyone!

{In for another review}

Its that time again.

the time where I put my heart and soul into many projects and have 5 very important people critique the heck out of them.

Its time to decide if I am cut out for the studio track {please, please, please be this one:)} or the business and marketing track.

This year they had us line all our projects up next to each other where they can compare us to everyone. SCARY!

I am happy and proud of my work that I turned in. I have come so far since last years review {go here and here}

Its so amazing how far and how much I have learned in just 1 year!

I am very proud of my progress and I know that I did the best that I could have done and so it is in the hands of the professors!

here is my projects that we had to turn in

{excluding my tiny house model}

{go here, to see my model}

{we had to pick a chair and build it up in 3D and then render it in 3D max, super hard, but fun at the same time}

this project cost me many sleepless night, stress, cold sores,and hair pulling, but one of my favorites:)

I loved this project, I felt like a real designer!!

We had to pick an artist to build an art gallery around them. I picked Casey O'Connell {she is amazing, please go check out her work,its perfection!} {plus she was such a doll to work with to get permissions and her paintings to put into my rendering, I loved working with her!} and her painting "When freckles Collide" for my inspiration. We then had to to a program board on what the space would need and what we could offer the artist. Then a concept board explaing how we would incorporate our inspiration into the space. finally we built up the floor plan and did spot renderings to show the material we would use in the space.

THEN THE BIG ONE! the point perspective rendering. this is where we pick a spot in the floor plan, built it up in 3D, hand sketched it and hand rendered it and put it in photoshop to add lights and realism.

It was so much fun, but so much work. It made me realize what I would be getting into and I LOVED IT!

this made my passion for interior design grow tremendously and I wanted to grow and become even better and make a difference in the design community.

Thanks for all the encouragement, critiques, and advice from all my family and friend! your all amazing and I am so grateful to have you all!

I will find out this Friday after 4:30

Wish me luck!!

{blah, thats all I gots}

BLAH.

I ran outside for the 1st time since the training of the 1/2 marathon had began.

BLAH.

I don't know why but I could NOT get a good rhythm therefor I could not run well.

I felt like someone was ripping out my lungs with a dirty devil vacuum & I felt like I was foaming at the mouth like a dirty animal with rabies. it was horrible

Actually I had to switch from running to walking.

BLAH!

I hated how I couldn't do it! I felt so good and on track and know I feel like I am starting over.

Maybe it was my new shoes, maybe I just am not meant to be a runner

Blah.

Any suggestions?

{the hair pulling has stopped....for now anyway}

The chair project is done. YESSSSS.

I really liked it, except that my chair gave me major stress.

it just wouldn't build right,my teacher even said "damn-it" and "oh hell" a lot while helping me.

so I guess it wasn't just me.

so this chair is the back up, almost like the real things, but not exactly.

Im still working on the real one, but who knows if that will ever come.

my favorite part of this project was the rendering of the room. I really liked it and enjoyed actually making a room look real with lights and everything.

and of course working in photoshop is always a big plus!

It makes me really excited for all the future projects that I will be getting in the next 2 years.

I love it!

{March right in please}

Yesterday the the weather was absolutely delicious

but you know when you have something so scrumptious you have to have more and more and you can never have enough of it?

I just want the warm sunshine on my skin

and the bright colors to come back to Logan

{oh and the cute cute clothes are always a bonus}

{I sure miss wearing skirts}

So come soon Spring, you surely have been missed

{the artist has many more amazing photos}

{Me love some Olympic Spirit}

I L-O-V-E the Olympics!

the spirit, the scenery, the sports, the adrenaline, the ups & downs

and cheering on the USA!

{ha, I really don't know why the pics are shirtless or all male}

{really I don't know}

{I must like the views of the Olympics also;)}

GO USA!

{32 days}

Since I have had this.

well ALL types of this= NO SUGAR.

I don't miss it, not really.

I found that hardest part of it was finding things that didn't have refined sugar in the ingredients.

But I am getting the hang of it and finding a lot more things using organic honey or other ingredients.

BUT I will break it for Valentines day.

Because I want my mom's famous "Ice Box Dessert" aka cheesecake.

Its sooooooo Yummy. and its tradition.

But I will continue on after VD.

My goal is to really cut down on refined ingredients, make healthier choices and so on.

So once in a while won't hurt, right?

P.S this is my 100th post! woot woot I'm in the triple digits of blogging, Im such a grown up:)
