Wet, cold, and tired.

My mom used to tell me that my three favorite things were to be wet, cold, and tired. In other words, I hated when she told me to put on a coat, I refused to wear a poncho and moon boots, and I really loved the wee hours of the morning. Well, the last is still true, but boy are there few things that I hate worse than being wet and cold! As the bitter winter air is coming in, I'm reminded how miserable it is to be outside in the cold. And to be wet on top of it!

I got giddy today thinking about how THIS is coming for me in February...

This morning was spent at Timpview High School watching my brother kick field goals. His wife didn't think he could kick a 50 yarder, so of course we went right then to the field and proved her wrong! Using my ugg slippers as a tee wasn't the best idea, however. They are ripped in two places now. I'm not super happy about that. Buuut, I have to say I enjoyed watching his determination while my sister in law taunted him on the side lines. And I enjoyed shagging balls on the other end of the goal post. I think I can throw like 15 yards now, so I'm getting pretty good...

Everyone but Robert and Tawni actually ended up at our house today. I loved that. My brother, Bryan was teasing me because I think I did about 50 of these little kid sewing animals this afternoon. What can I say, I am obsessed with them!

THESE beauties get home on Monday. I've been missing them. Pickin up Reid at 7am, Salt Lake International, Mondee morn. Can't wait.

Beach Boyssss!

This week was my mom's birthday and my mom looooves the Beach Boys! The just so happened to be in town on the 4th, which is her actual birthday and we got second row tickets for the whole fam! It was really fun!

Here's as much of the stage as I could get from up close!

These cuties are the only two originals left and they've stiiiiiill got it baby! The gramps on the left was flirting with Andi throughout because she was jumpin around so much and loving it. So funny.

Some of the gang afterwards with one of the Beach Boys that we met and he signed our beach ball! At the end they threw in like TONS of beach balls for the encore number and I honestly couldn't stop laughing because they were bouncing around and wacking me in the head like crazy! And everybody, and I mean everybody was lovvvving slapping those things around!

And then we ran into Mr. Governor and his wife and had to snap a quick pic!

And for the hilight of my night? The cutie newcomer who is one of the originals sons threw me his pick at the end and winked at me. wooooo hoooooo!!

It was a seriously fun night and my mom loved every minute of the concert. Especially when they started crankin out Sloop John B.

Happy Birthday to the BEST mom in the world!

I love you so much and you are my best friend! I love being your only little girl!

Alfie, get up. It's a brand new day.

Today was my first day on my quest to beat the natural man.

How did I do you ask?

Welll, I woke up at 7:30 and looked at the crack in my door and there was no light on. I'll admit the thought crossed my mind that if Allison slept in, I'd pretend like I did too.... she woke me up 2 minutes later.

I was 10 minutes late to Bio.

I skipped half of my art class to go to einstein with Allison because whether I go or not doesn't really make a difference as far as my grade is concerned.

I fell asleep in Institute.

I put off writing my paper until 10:00 tonight and it's now 2:37 and I only have 2 pages down because I keep getting distracted by my hilarious roommates and their never ending funny stories.

I'm now blogging instead of finishing that paper.

I caved and did that thing that I said I wasn't going to do until at least Friday...

It's Monday.

I did clean my appartment and sweep the porch of our filthy hay bail and decluttered my room!

I decided that picking up and folding my laundry at my moms could wait another day. I have more clothes I can scrounge up. -- I wore all black today. I like to say it's because I'm mourning the close of the Halloween season, but the truth is, I didn't have anything else to wear. My clothes are at my moms...

I ate dinner at FHE. and at my moms. And had some pizza for a midnight snack.

Welp, it looks like a great start to my conquering the natural man, eh?

Tomorrow's a new day.
