Things to be Happy About

In high school one of my English teachers had a book "14,000 Things to be Happy About" and every other day in class another girl and I would read a few to each other. Then we got thinking, we can totally make our own list! So we started making our own list of things that make us happy. Then as college-essay-topic time started rolling its ugly head around the corner and I had a few rough drafts and almost one completed essay, I completely changed my mind. Our teachers had been emphasizing how we need our essays to stand out and be remembered so my college essay was the list of things that made me happy. I don't have the list anymore because it's on my old computer which is in storage, but I think I'm going to start it again, with new things that make me happy! And it worked out, I got into all the colleges I applied for but ironically Utah was the one school that did not require an essay...just my luck!

A few of the ones I remember off the top of my head:

1. Going to the florist and opening up the refrigerators that the flowers are in

2. a fresh block of cheddar cheese

3. turning on your windshield wipers the first time after it's rained

4. runner's high

5. fresh sheets

I think I'm going to go to the storage place and get my old computer, I can't remember the rest! Work in progress I guess

On a side note, I wanted to thanks Elise, Meg and Em for being there when I had my slight mental/emotional breakdown the other day. You guys are the best! Some times a girl just needs to cry! haha 

Love you all 

It's Almost June? What??

As I am looking at my computer and it says "Friday, May 27" I kind of thought it was wrong for a second. I'm sorry, May 27, you must be mistaken MacBook. Then I remembered its a MacBook Pro and it can do no wrong.

I'm not sad about it not being May anymore, May did me well. Minus the whole starting summer school thing, but I don't hate it as much knowing I'm in the same boat with Elise, Meg and Em. Misery loves company right?

On the up side:

I was on the Dean's list this semester

Our lacrosse team got 3rd at Nationals!!! (boy am I missing Scottsdale's warmth right now)

My parents came and helped me move into the Gilmer house!! (yay!)

 Bridesmaids came out, in fact I just got back from my third time seeing it. (yes, it is that good!)

The Hangover Pt. 2 came out also, which I have to say was not as good as the first or Bridesmaids but still, pretty funny.

I got a job at J.Crew (the outlet in Park City) and could not be more excited!! Tomorrow I get to work with Sam J. Amazing clothes and my best friend, is that even work?

One of my best friends from back home is in San Diego for the summer, he just arrived today! Can someone say 'road trip'!

But I have a feeling June is going to be even better!!

For starters: MY BIRTHDAY! June 4th people, mark it on your calendars. 

It's really strange, I can't think of anything that I want for my birthday. My mom asked me yesterday and I could not think of one thing...knowing me it will come to me a week after my birthday...crap.

Second of all: BETH'S GETTING MARRIED!!! tonight I went to dinner with Meg, Elise, Beth and Landon and Elise and I got to watch some video from their Bridals/Groomals - it was amazing. They are both perfect!! Landon had his wedding ring on and it felt so real! I can't wait for them to get married!

I have a good feeling about this month! 

Prince Charming

So what I'm Team Blair and Louis. 

But if it doesn't work between them I'd be more than happy to take him off her hands

No Internet? I'm sorry...what?

For the past, oh I don't know...week or so there has been no internet at the Gilmer house. 

Death. 

I have an iPhone so it was semi-ok but not really. Not to mention everyone was gone for that week. Megs was in Powell, Em and Elise were in Cali and the rest were in Mead. 

But good news! Internet arrived today and everyone is home! Could not be happier. Now I don't have to spend my free time in the Huntsman parking lot using their WiFi....did I say that out lout?

The only thing that could make this better is this cold to go away! How exactly do you get a cold in the summer? Maybe it's because summer school officially started today...crap.

But summer school won't ruin summer! I love it wayyyyy too much!

I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one.
