suit up.

have you noticed in old movies men are always wearing suits?

they're either in their dashing dark suits or in their pajamas.

personally. i adore this.

a man in a suit is much more attractive than one in a t-shirt and jeans

 this might be the reason i love pre 1960 movies so much.

holler.

like your shoes, love your hair.

today i got my hair cut.
four or so inches off
sounds like a lot but my hair was insanely long
so it's not very noticeable. sadly.
i'm a bit.. well possessive of my hair. so when the time comes along for a nice trim, i kind of.. freak.
my mom told me my hair is completely damaged and i really need a good cut.
she told me not to be afraid
so i tried not to be
at first it was only two inches, didn't seem short enough, so i told her to cut off another inch or two.
still not short enough.
another inch or two please?
it's completely healthy, i will miss all my split ends to pick at when i'm bored
people will still consider my hair long, but to me it feels very short.
i would take a cute picture to show you but.. i just spent an hour in a jeep without doors
it's windblown, messy and gross.

oh and i finally saw inception.
insanity.

steamboatttt

i didn't really give a good post on my trip to steamboat, courtesy of my camera happy mommy, here are some pretty cool pictures.
just to let you know, it's hard to for me to give a real serious smile anymore.
i look like i'm scowling but really, i just didn't want to give the true effort to look cute.

we rode the gondola up to the top of the mountain

it was reallyyy pretty up there

most of our time was filled with.. baseball watching

those are my baseball friends, well mostly just jake.

that's my stud little brother chase

sorry ladies. he still thinks girls have cooties.

oh and we saw a bear.

yes a bear.

there was a big hill behind the baseball park and on the side of that hill was this

basically, it was awesome

this is a packed candy store that was on main street

steamboat springs is a pretty cool place i guess (=

it's been a good day

i always like to run to the mailbox everyday (except sunday of course) to see if my dashing brother wrote to me

of course he never does. strange.

most missionaries love to get letters and write back.

geoff likes to get letters. keep them for a month. write back. then send it off a couple weeks later.

coming home from a week vacation i thought for sure there would be a nice envelope with my name on it.

there was but sadly in the top left hand corner were the words "PLEASANT GROVE HIGH SCHOOL"

a little bit of a let down until my mom called me back and handed me a very bulky magazine

could it be??

i could finally put my worn out, torn and cut, water stained 2010 ikea catalog to rest

2011 ikea catalog

needless to say i've already looked through it three times

even while watching design star

emily, casey, and michael.

best top three i could ever imagine.

nah nah nah nah baseball!

all this week i have been in the great state of colorado
steamboat springs to be exact
which is basically like a poor man's park city but still nice
my youngest brother chase and his stud of a baseball team went there for the triple crown world series
to put it simply
it's kind of a big deal for a 13 year old baseball team.

let's just say:
-ball were thrown and hit (one ball even hit the littlest guy on the team right in the hip, poor kid)

-tears were shed

-loud and angry words were exchanged: two of the coaches were thrown out for yelling at the ump too much, as they were leaving one of the mom's from the other team yelled "i thought mormons weren't supposed to fight?" our whole fan section flipped and started yelling back. but of course we beat them and the last words said and i quote from jake barnhart "THAT'S HOW US MORMONS ROLL!!"

-fourth place medals were given out.

go utah hooks (=

you like me, you really like me

i am so honored, i don't know what to say.

thank you lisa, she be my best fran. she seems like a sweet angelic girl, but she's the funniest girl on the entire planet.

hmm the seven things you may not know about me
one- i can eat. a lot. more than a normal girl should. i'm surprised i'm not two hundred pounds
two- i love old black and white movies.
three- i have an enormous crush on james franco
four- one of my greatest dreams is to travel the world (or at least just europe). i have my whole trip planned out already, reykjavik, london, dublin, edinburgh, amsterdam, vienna, athens, rome, venice and paris being my last stop.
five- i love to wear hats, i wear my black baggy beanie with a pom pom on the top everyday in the winter
six- i have microscopic tiny ears.
seven- i don't dye my hair. i like it natural. although i have always had a small yearning to go blonde. just to see what i would look like.

as to who i think deserves this award
nicole of course. her posts are always so real. she has such an amazing personality. her poems are original and relateable. i love her with all of my heart.

hallelujahh

as you may know
i'm a little well obsessed with the show design star
i missed the episode on sunday and was greatly disappointed.
i figured out you can watch them on hgtv.com
score
last week nina was eliminated, i was ready to run around my house screaming hallelujah but i held back
this last episode that i just watched
then i started to not like stacey and tom
stacey was elimated on the spot
but then vern yip informed courtland and tom that one of them would still be elimated
could it be??
could my three least favorite people go home one after another?
yes.
stacey and tom
now i love everybody on this show
go emily!
