A quick update.

Wow!

what a week- it's been weird, happy, sad, funny, exciting, and definitely not a normal one. Normality, will we ever be friends again? i think not.

Now i'm home... said my goodbyes and now moving on to the next four months that will be relativity school-free and full of other Provo adventures. Boo-ya. But pretty soon, it will time to start work work working. but before that happens....

my dad are going to Israel!

What? i know... super random. but since my europe trip fell through with the volcano ( still trying to rap my head around that one) and other things my dad and i decided ( or rather i talked him into) going on a super crazy adventure to the Holy Land. needless to say i am unbelievable excited- but i'm still trying to get used to it. i guess i have a fourteen hour plane ride for that...

Here's the plan:

We leave Tuesday night and get there Wednesday evening. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be us in Jerusalem doing all the things there. Then Sunday we will do a day trip to Bethlehem/Hebron and Monday do another day trip to the Sea of Galilee! Then leave Tuesday...

Well that's the scoop! sorry for the lack of pictures... Macs and my wireless Internet at home haven't befriended each other yet...

Cleaning and Reality Checks.

the inenvitable has happened. 

moving out day/cleaning check day/the last day Liberty Square will ever rip me off/night of no sleep. 

the trash hole is undergoing a temporary break and relocating. it is what it is and nothing can change. so embrace the change. 

right now i am sitting [and sleeping] in Jamestown " The Trash Hole" 21 for one last night... [ok maybe not because i plan on staying with marg a few nights in the spring]. it's a little weird without the quote wall on the door, dishes pilled up sky high, or even those dang hairballs. oh gol- we had some good memories in here. 

but summer holds newer,better things for all of us- marriage, travels, work, school, and who the heck knows what else

here are some pics from the last few weeks together: 

if we were sidewalk chalk stickwomen this is what we would look like. 

[ we colored the sidewalk for Rach's 20th]

yup. he's a keeper for sure. 

we rock at taking awkward pictures. 

all you need is dix... oh wait... i mean love. 

a little Ace and Slef love

Bad News

Well.... here's the bad news.

there is this little thing going on in the world. 

a volcano.

in Iceland.

what. the. trash.

first off, who knew that there were volcanoes in Iceland? I thought Iceland was a solid block of frozen ice. Who knew? 

anyway the only reason i really care is because my trip to europe could potentially be postponed. 

but the good news is that there is six other contients that i could travel to ( ok i guess 5- Antarctica doesn't really count) .

Summerlovin'

the anticipation of summer

 is almost better than summer itself. 

you know- 

making plans to do something (or nothing), doing crunches so you look good in a swimsuit, picking up those cute new tanks, finding a job so you can have some funds, and packing up your big puffy jackets so you don't have to look at them until winter. 

needless to say, this is what's going through my brain currently ( probably with more distress than is necessary) 

First, gotta make sure i have a job with the big 

Second, making summer travel plans to eu-rope 

third- getting rid of my pasty white skin while reading all the books on my "have to read" list by the pool (more stressful than it sounds)
