success.

in less than 10 hours i will be back in schoolio like a foolio. my break was well needed and so much fun! but waaay too short. a 2 week summer is not enough. luckily with the pool at my apartment and some pool time in st. george i managed to get a little color. very little, but still.
here is a little list of some fun things i did...
1. got the hair/eye/dmv appointments out of the way. i am now officially emma joy westwood and my hair no longer has 3 inch roots! i feel like a whole new woman.
2. our trip to st. george/vegas was soo much fun. i can't get enough of isaac. i love it when we have no school/work to distract our fun. pics to come from our trip...
3. our apartment is officially organized and clean. it feels so great. i don't have bags of unpacked t-shirts lying around anymore!
4. i got so much fabulous sleep. and exercise time.
5. my mom and i had a hay day. we lunched at zupas numerous times (our new fav, i dream about the nuts about berries salad) and did what we do best...find amazing deals shopping! we also saw julie and julia. loved it. i was so inspired! i want to really learn to cook.
6. so i read la candy on our trip to vegas and i'm not ashamed to say i enjoyed it! i know, it's bad. now i'm reading a book one of my bff's wrote and am loving it.
7. my girlfriends are so good to me. we met up for lots of lunches, pool time and girl talk. steph and i saw the times traveler's wife - when i got home i thanked isaac for not traveling time. i have a love/hate relationship with that movie.
8. i baked reese's chocolate cookies, easy ice cream sandwiches, lemon squares and peanut butter cupcakes. yum yum yum.
9. we got to spend lots of time with family and loved it. once you're married you realize how much you take advantage of the time you get to spend with them. we went to isaac's cabin, attended a family reunion, had my family over for dinner, spent time with my cousin brian, visited my sweet grandma, spent time with ike's family, and are planning a big sunday dinner for his fam next sunday...lets hope the food turns out!
10. went to the free twilight series iron and wine concert at the galivan center. mistake #1 -craving kfc's chicken legs (a very strange craving, we rarely eat any fast food) and munching them before the concert. not a good idea. never again will we eat you kfc. mistake #2 - not getting there super early to get a good spot so we could actually see...and hear for that matter. i decided i don't like things with a lot of people. i asked isaac, "if i don't think this is fun does it make me an un-fun person?" he said, "no, it just means you like a different type of fun." indeed, fun where you have to pay a little to get in so so many dang people don't show up. next time iron and wine, next time.
us in st. george.
the break was a true success. i can't wait for the next one...
i'm pretty sure i have to learn how to put an iv in this week. i'm nervous.
