Cravings A Girl Can't Help

Mexican food!

The wonderful yet cruel Taco Bus has been mocking me from just down the street.

It knows I have been craving Mexican food all week.

Refried beans and enchiladas just sound heavenly right now.

So much I even went out and bought pinto beans to turn um in to REFRIED HEAVEN.

You thought girls would crave chocolate, or peanut butter.

Not me, it's Mexican or Chili Cheese fries delight.

Anyway here are some random cool facts/stories:

I ran into Haley and I's favorite dunker at the bookstore a week and a half ago.

He even recognized me, but couldn't pin-point where.

So I filled him in about being a regular at the Temple on Fridays last fall.

Once I said my last name, he remembered.

Sadly he's not working in the Temple this semester (unless they call him for Thursdays)

I found out his name is Donny Campbell and he is a business major.

It was a pretty awesome and random meeting that made me very happy.

I found the BEST recipe last week.

 Garlic-Lime Chicken.

It is to die for!

Here is the recipe.

It has a nice little spicy kick to it and tastes fantastic!

I highly recommend it.

 Haley and I have been going to the Temple again.

We're working on going every Tuesday and Thursday.

Also exciting for me:

97 days until I get married!

Down to double digits!!!!!!!

So that is all.

Have a great day!

Lunch time!

Eat some mexican deliciousness!

Better Late Than Never

Here are some pictures from California

Our hike.

Our goofiness.

Houses that I don't want to know the price of.

My super handsome fiancee (101 days till he is HUSBAND) =D

The pier.

We were lucky. This place is normally PACKED.

Dolphins!

I didn't realize there were SO many types of palm trees.

I touched the Pacific Ocean!

I strangely love this picture of Garett.

I look pretty silly in these pictures.

But Garett just looks SOOO good!

Look how long and leggy he looks.

Maybe I am biased. 

You caught me. 

This post is really to brag about how handsome my fiancee is.

So many palm trees!

Narrow houses.
It reminded me of Full House.
But better because this is Southern California.

Confession: This post has been sitting as a draft for a week or so.
I've been busy.

Printmaking is as awesome as I originally thought it was going to be!!!!
So is marriage prep and Color Photo.
And New Testament (part 2) is a given AWESOME.
Intro to Graphic Design however MIGHT be the death of me.
So 4 out of 5 are awesome.
Those are good odds right?

Off to class.
Summer has come early with the 80's.
I will miss it this weekend. =[
Have a lovely day!!!

I am getting married!

It is starting to feel more real now!

Eeeeek!!

Few Pictures, Lots of Smiles

 California (LA/Glendora area) is beautiful!!!!!!

I haven't really taken pictures though.

Mostly because I didn't feel like digging for my camera in the bottom of my backpack. 

I had THAT stranger fiancee moment in that ward that everyone knows everyone and knows who you are before you meet them because word gets around fast.

I wandered around and met a million people who told me how LUCKY I am to have Garett (as if I didn't know that already ;D)

Isn't he so handsome?

 

I met Erikka, Will, Jessika and Nik. (my soon-to-be-sibling-in-laws)

They're pretty great.

I adore his family, but go figure.

I enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and dinner, 

Movies nights, the jacuzzi and VERY briefly the freezing-ish pool,

Hong Kong Express,

Marie Calendar's Chocolate Satin Pie,

A double date with Erikka & Will,

A hike and picnic in the mountains,

Hanging with Steven,

A beautiful drive up the mountain,

and learning to drive stick shift briefly. 

 

 

 And acting like adults.

=] 

Feeling so grown up

and like my family just tripled in size.

California is gorgeous.

They have really cool houses here.

Aaron architecturally here I think you would love it. 

I may post more pictures later.

But now the jacuzzi is calling mine, Garett's, Tay's and possibly Matthew's names. 

Still have a cookout and two more double dates to enjoy and another hike.

The beach was canceled due to insufficient means to transport surf boards.

Enjoy your weather, 

I met mine is better than yours!

HA HA!

Good Morning Starshine, the Earth Says "Hello!"

(In which I manage to blog about NOTHING too important. Enjoy)

 

So actually it is afternoon, possibly evening for some of you, but either way, that is NOT what the earth was saying to me this morning.

It was more like....."Go back to sleep. You deserve it for doing so much math last night".

You may be wondering what an art major is doing math for.....

Well it turns out I am much better and faster at math than I remembered so I helped Garett with his math homework until I was about to fall asleep.

But did I sleep? 

NOPE.

Instead I did more math for fun.

Reintroducing Kenken:

I'm cool, I know. 

And suddenly I am wondering why I am not a math major, 

since strangely enough, I really miss it. 

My morning consisted of starting and getting half of my science project done.

Part 2 will be finished after work.

My teeth look prettier, thanks Catherine,

despite this being the worst fake smile in the world. 

My ring sparkles like crazy in the sunlight, but you can't tell in pictures. =[ 

I miss the Hunger Games.

 I guess Garett will just have to introduce me to some new books.

This is for you Hannah:

 I miss you!

A picture of my wedding dress (sorta) in which you can tell NOTHING about the dress itself.

Sorry Garett. xP

I am addicted to homemade popcorn chicken.

Restaurant popcorn chicken will never compare...

Garett and I have too much fun semi freezing water into cubes

Over and over and over and over again. 

I found a delicious new recipe of creamy rotini and chicken primavera.  

Which my roommate spilled the leftovers on the floor, threw them away and did not tell, though I watched her do it. 

Also congrats to Matt B! Who finally got his mission call! 

(I won't announce where until he has given me permission)

But best of luck to you Matt! You'll be a great missionary!

Sorry you'll miss my wedding thought =[

It is a beautiful day out  and I am trying to pretend like work doesn't exist for a few more minutes.

Last day of work. 

One last project.

(Aced my family foundations finals)

Now to clean and pack, which I have not started....

But instead spent much needed and missed quality time with Garett.

And he made me dinner. (It's becoming a Wednesday tradition)

California here I come!

I should stop eating in bed,
I have no Emily (my dog) to
blame for the crumbs anymore.

Real or Not Real?

Real.

I think those might be my new favorite words.

I just finished the Hunger Games Trilogy in a week, which is a world record for me.

Seriously you're looking (so to speak...) at one of the slowest readers ever.

 

I won't ruin it for those who haven't read them, but they are great books.

The titles are very fitting, along with the images.

Easy reads.

But amazing.

Suzanne Collins, my hats off to you.

Also to the people who made the movie.

I hadn't read the books at the time, so when I read the first one, I felt I was reading it for a 2nd time already. This cast is pretty great, I just hope they can live up to their characters in the next 2 movies.

I am proud of the directors for not screwing up the book and actually doing it justice.

I also wanna give credit to the people who cast these actors, they clearly knew what they were doing. 

In other news I am headed to California in 5 days and I cannot wait!
Also I get to see my family in 4 days!

Maybe it is mood swings, but I have been wanting to be and talk with my family ALLLL the time lately! I love y'all!

Expect HUUUUUUUUUUGE hugs in Friday.

Albert, expect them at work tomorrow.

Geez that was a lot of exclamation marks....

4 months from tomorrow I get married!

Sam called me Mrs. Bonds tonight.

I squealed with joy.

Matt B said he is going to start calling me that too.

I like it. 

 

Spelling "Bonds" in cursive is hard work,

good thing work gives me lots of time to practice. 

This week is going to be busy:

Writing a twelve page paper (half way done)

Passing of the Proclamation to the Family memorization

Take the Family Foundations Final

Science project

Clean the apartment

Pack

Switch apartments

California with GARETT =D 

I think I can do it. 

After all, I get to go to California for a week, that is enough to survive any week.

Read, read, read

Drink milk

Kiss Garett

Life is good
