Oh! Forever.

I hate that I've been lacking in the "quality posts" department, but what with the DSLR not working properly I haven't had any way to take quality pictures. I have worn some cute outfits, so if I can find a way to take cute pictures I shall.

In other news, I've been reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Noey and I have been dying to read this book for ages, and when I got a gift certificate to one of my favorite local bookstores I knew precisely what I'd be getting. So on Monday I went marching down there, with my favorite boy in tow, and bought me a book!

Actually, not to deviate from talk of vampires, but Monday was an exceptionally interesting day. Hunter and I were in the great city of Mackinaw going to see the movie Brave {Which, neither of us enjoyed, I might add.} and run some errands. When I picked him up at his house with my '87 Ford pick-me-up truck I knew something was a little off with my brakes but I was already halfwayish to Mackinaw, so why stop now right? We get up there, and slowly the brakes are acting better and better, so I think nothing of it. We parked near the theater but we were a half hour early so we just started walking around, and ended up at the bookstore. We saw the movie. Didn't like it. Then we went to "my store" and bought my bead. When we got back to my truck I turned her on, she roared as usual, and we went on our merry way... until we had to stop at the next stop sign. I put the pedal to the floor and nothing. At all. Lucky, so lucky, for us there was barely any traffic so we were able to pull out and keep going slow till we got to the gas station. Where I proceeded to slam it into park so I wouldn't run into the building. We went inside, got some delish drinks, and hopped back in the truck to discuss what we'd do. It was decided that we shouldn't remain parked where we were, I cautiously drove it behind the store. We then called Tanner and his Dad to come help up. All in all, everything ended up alright. But my brakes are goners. Which isn't good, obs.

See? I lead an extremely interesting life. 


Somebody... please see how my title is funny. Anybody? No? Okay... 

It's All Been Done Before

Blueberries with milk & sugar is one of my favorite summer-time snacks// 3//I made this for Casie// 4//I really love this card I got from my friend Matt for graduation// 5//Mango anything is my fav!// 6//Perfecting the fishtail braid// 7//Freckles are my favorite// 8//Jones Soda is so delicious, and I've decided I'm getting some for my party!//

Not-So-Awesome Things Lately:

• Casie leaving last night. Totally a bummer, but I'm really thankful for technology & the knowledge that I'm still going to be able to talk to her. 
• Peeing my pants. Peeing my pants. Gosh, I'm not even pregnant. I'm basically going from 18 to 85. Cause I know you're wondering, here's the story. I farted a little {Or a lot, actually. TMI?} & I had an instant "Oh no!" moment. That's when I realized I peed myself. Maybe this isn't okay to write... oh, well. It's done. Ha.

Awesome Things Lately: 

• I'm working on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday! Which is basically the best thing ever, as I'm practically broke. 
• The beach as been wonderful, & the weather has been spectacular. Summer is in full swing, hallelujah. 
• On Sunday I got to play with cutest little baby girl. She has the chubbiest, cutest legs. And curly hair. And long eyelashes. Gah, too cute.
• Getting told by a 5 year old little boy "I have a secret. You're my best buddy!" This kid is basically the cutest little guy in the whole entire world, and it still makes me giggle that he hates Hunter because he's jealous.
• I've finally figured out playing guitar! Like actual songs. With chords and everything. I'm pretty darn excited about that. 
• Hunter. Hunter. Hunter. Hunter. He's the best thing lately. Or ever. 

{Hi, sweet pea. As you're apparently reading this now, I thought I'd say Hi. I love you. That is all}

My Vacation Thus Far Through Instagram

1) Waiting to board with my bright pink carry-on. 2) Florida! 3) Mini-sister is becoming taller than me I've realized. 4) Soaking up some much-needed sunshine. 5) With all this waking up early business, coffee is my new bff. 6) New duck pandora bead! The whole reason is because at the first hotel there were little duckies swimming in out pool. Cutest things ever! Plus ducks are my third favorite animal. 7) At Universal Studios. We ate at Mel's Place (from Happy Days!) and I adored this picture. 8) I've finally been able to finish up The Help and this sentence made me cry. 9) I got my first pair of Toms! Grey and perfect!


Before I go any further I want to apologize for the lack of posting. I hate skipping days, but the Internet at the last hotel was insanely slow and horrid. I couldn't do anything, anything, on it. 
As you can plainly tell I am now on Instagram. Do not ask me how to follow me, I don't know at all. I, unfortunately, do not have an iPhone. But instead a StraightTalk Android. I was seriously contemplating the iPhone, but what with having to purchase three different plans I couldn't justify it. Especially when I can pay $45 for unlimited everything for a month. I am thuper duper (She's the Man reference) excited about having a smart phone, I'm obsessed with Instagram and Twitter! 


Now, lets quit the small talk and I'll talk about the vacation so far. 
It's been fun. That's all.


Juuuust kidding. 


It's been really fun. Wednesday morning I went and ate at The Three Broomsticks in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Oh Lawd. That was a blast. I've resolved to live in the Hogwarts castle. I also went on the Ride of the Hippogriff: Never. I repeat Never. Again. I cried. Literally. But apparently I can handle Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. Make sense? Yeah, I didn't think so either. 
Thursday we went back to Hogwarts. Noey and I sang this song while going though Hogsmead. And I went to the mall. Let me just say, I love malls. And I love Forever21. And Sanrio stores. 
Friday we went to Magic Kingdom and I rode more rides than I ever have before in my life. Most of them weren't actually as bad as I thought they would be. 


Okay, tomorrow and the next few days I'll have some more posts about the vacation. But right now I'm off to FaceTime with my boy and get some sun!
