Here's To Tonight

Oh, Luka. You are perfect.

I, however, am not. Excuse me for my lack of commitment to you, blog (and those who read it). BUT last week was an amazing workout week and this week I've made some major strides with my eating habits (FINALLY). I also recently got a new full time job three weeks ago with Property Solutions and am having a blast. Some days are difficult (like today...I had to leave work early because I had the ugliest migraine of all time and needed sleep. I slept for five hours when I got home and took medicine and felt much better). Who knew how demanding a full time job would be and how emotionally/physically draining? My body is slowly adapting to the new schedule (7am-3pm most days and 8am-4pm on Fridays and Saturdays). Tomorrow is my day off and I look forward to getting laundry done, going to BYU's surplus sale, and making a yummy creamy tomato and spinach pasta. Zac will also take tomorrow off from studying (FINALS WEEK MIGHT KILL HIM, GUYS) and we will finally spend more than 20 minutes together in one sitting. (: Mega excited over here. Don't mind me.

Tonight, for instance, we will eat cookies, watch The Hunt with Mads Mikkelson, and actually have a proper date. !!! I don't want tonight to end.

i'm a whimsical fairy, fool.

Well, as you can see, I chopped off all my hair and am quite the whimsical fairy. (:

While sitting in the chair at Shep Studio this morning, it took all of my self control not to squeal and giggle the entire time. It was such a liberating experience, having my "feminine" locks snipped away. Oddly enough, I feel more feminine and delicate with this "boyish" haircut than I ever have in my entire life. Weird? Nah. Just awesome. You know what's also awesome? This Is The End. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE. AH.

a conglomeration of recent happenings

So I have effectively procrastinated studying for my stats test this Thursday. haha Wanna know how? By baking. I think I'm getting a knack for baking--especially when it satisfies my outrageous sweet tooth. And anything's better than stats, right?

In all honesty, I think I'll be okay for the test. I will definitely be hitting the books tomorrow. Promise, mom! I  promise, everyone else reading my silly little blog! 

Life's been pretty baller, not gonna lie. So much busy, all the time, with lots of homework and friends and classes and not a whole lot of husband time. :( Wah. Tonight he plans on pulling an all-nighter waiting for Boarderlands 2 to come out and then he'll play all night until dawn. That's my gamer. :] Well, here are some pictures and a recipe! I'm off to go do some procrastinating studying. Dinosaur bones...histograms...box plots...standard deviation...reading prompts. Ah, life never stop. :]

I found a wonderful friend planking on some blocks during WDA. Before planking, she was being a cat. Awesome.

We had Dramatic Lit outside last Friday. :]

Fossil!

An impromptu date night with a rushed hairstyle and makeup. We saw The Amazing Spiderman. So good.

I came home from classes on Friday to find a cake sitting on our table. Zac did not make said cake, rather, he bummed it off the bakery truck that comes to Wymount on Friday mornings with free day old bread and cakes! That's my money pincher in action.

I got all home-makery by filling some random floating canisters with said ingredients. I labeled them with my expert sticker hand. Aw yeah.

Best face ever. Hands down.

My tummy is so happy.

one year anniversary...pt 2

When you have your sweetheart...

You can be yourself.

You can laugh.

You can cry.

You can hug.

You can eat good food.

You can frolic.

You can watch Brave.

You can hold.

You can comfort.

You can be there for him//her.

I love my sweetheart.

He did all of this with me today.

Today we celebrated our first year of marriage.

We also had a huge emotional surprise--one I'll never forget.

You're in my prayers, Daddy.

SO MANY FRIENDS SO MANY HUGS

Gosh, today has been a great day! I ran into three friends I haven't seen in a long time: Emma (3 years), Alex (almost 2 years) and Tess (a week haha). Emma Tan was in my first ward here at BYU...gosh so long ago. :) Summer term 2009. When Emma and I saw each other in the jkb, we hugged so hard and then held hands/hugged while walking. hahah I never thought I'd be one of those girls who screams really loud when spotting a friend a ways away. hahhaa But I guess it's come to that. :) Alex Nichols was a missionary serving in Burlington, Kansas when I went home for summer break 2010 and has become a wonderful friend to my younger brother, Jim.  Alex served in Manhattan, Lawrence, Topeka, and our humble town, Burlington. :) I found out he came home 3 months and 3 days ago and is studying Exercise Science here at BYU, mega rad. Tess Richmond became a wonderful friend a year ago when we took the same Creative Writing class. Plans will be made to eat lunch at the moa soon, I'm sure. :) 

Overall, the past few days have ruled:

1) Zac and I made chicken fajita tacos with corn tortillas an hour ago...om nom nom

2)I cleaned the apartment--the whole thing--as soon as I got home from classes today.

3)I'm getting awesome grades back in all my classes.

4)I hardly have any hw due tomorrow or Friday! Hazzah!

5) My novel is coming along so nicely and I can't wait to write some more tonight.

6) Last night/this morning Zac and I read scriptures together before falling asleep. :)

7)I have a great idea for my next play writing assignment...It's gonna be cool.

8) Zac and I went on a date Saturday night. I drove in the crazy snow...in the dark. And I didn't kill us. Obviously. :)

I want you to laugh, right now. So watch this. Thank you.

Love,
Chelsea
