Hello all. Just quickly catching you guys up on what's going on in my life...
- Today I registered for my sophomore year of high school. What. a. How can I already be in my second year of high school? That means I'm just one year closer to graduation and college and life. b. How can summer be done in a week and a half? Gross.
- I am off the chain. No, I'm not just using old slang, I am attempting to tell you guys THAT MY BRACES ARE OFF. I've had them for 3.5 years and I love being able to rub my teeth with my tongue since they're now really smooth. But slimy? It's weird. But I like it.
- My mug collection keeps growing, much to the dismay of my mother. My beloved mugs have taken over a whole shelf in our kitchen. Ooops?
- I am now the proud older cousin of a little boy named Isaac James. ♡ Next week I fly to my aunt and uncle's and get the opportunity to take newborn photos. On one hand, I am super excited to be able to try out newborn photography, but on the other, I am 100% terrified. I mean, you only get one chance to take those photos. If I screw up, there will be no cute baby photos. No adorable memories.
- SO EXCITED FOR FAAAAAALLLLLLL. I'm not exactly looking forward to school and homework, but pros out-weigh the cons. Pumpkins? Boots? Sweaters? Leaves? Pumpkin spice lattes (there's my inner white girl shining through)? Apples? Cold weather? Thanksgiving? Fuzzy socks? Soup? Fall colors? I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
- I recently bought a notebook from Marshall's (I'm sure it will end up in some sort of haul post later...) and I have been writing lists. That's all. My brain works in lists (hence the bulleted post you are currently reading). I have to-do lists, bucket lists, lists of things I'm thankful for, lists of books to read, lists of places I want to travel to, lists of prayer requests, etc. LISTS.
- What should I name my car? It's a green 2000 CR-V. I've had suggestions like Ivy, Roxy, Curvy... I need help.
- I went to the most hipster coffee shop yesterday. For all you Idahoans, if you haven't been to the District Coffeehouse in downtown Boise, you need to make that a priority. It's the most Instagram-worthy place ever.
- My favorite treat at the moment? You take yogurt, fluff it up with a little bit of whipped cream, stick the bowl in the freezer until it's frozen and ice cream textured, then you crumble graham cracker over it. It's super tasty.
- I AM FREAKING OUT. I officially am scheduled to take my driver's test on Tuesday. If you knew how bad of a parker I am, you would freak out too.
- I wrote in all caps waaaaayyyyy too many times in this blog post. Sorry 'bout that.
