i'd just like to reiterate my love for the O.C.

i'm now on season two and my goodness, it just keeps getting better. sandy cohen is one of my favorite characters of all time. i have a weird kind of older gentleman crush on him. gross?

i still love seth. he provides great comic relief for the show.

another one of the o.c.'s wonderful qualities is the awesome music that's on the show. the episode i watched tonight had elliott smith's "twilight" (nothing to do with vamps). i loved it, although the end of this episode alluded to marissa becoming a lesbitron with alex. not judging. especially since ryan is engaging in some form of incest, be it biological or no.

coming around again. copeland

i'm moving home in a week and a half. i can't believe how fast this is coming. it will be weird. i need to redecorate my room. it's pretty much as my 18 year old, senior in high school self left it. i've tried to de-clutter it the last couple times i've been there, but it still needs work. i'd like a poster like this.

or this.

one of those blogging dry spells...

i've been back in provo for a week now, and how great it is to be back. i wasted no time into getting back into real life. resting is for the birds. so the night i got back, jake and i went to his roommate/mission buddy/best friend and his fiance jessy's wedding dinner! they're such a good couple. jake and i took a little walk at the park where the dinner was, and we ended up with some funny pictures. 

on the way out, i tried to hop over a three foot pole (which i cleared easily on the way in) but my dress got caught and i ate it. hard. i have a wound on my shoulder and a big bruise on my knee.

the next day was kyle and jessy's wedding so we went to their reception and it was beautiful! we're so excited for them. i'm dumb and for some reason didn't take any pictures of the bride and groom.

jake's been working a lot, so we pretty much just hang out after 3:30 except on days when he donates plasma. so i stay up late then sleep in then i go watch wizards of waverly place at jake's apartment on the instant netflix thing.

it's been a year today since i moved to provo, and i celebrated by building a new dvd shelf.

some days are amazing. really. it may sometimes seem like nothing good or progressive will come of a typical wednesday, but then BAM. your life changes. in a most literal way. i don't even know a way to describe the feeling other than a breathtaking, "wow, is this really happening?" moment. and then you actually feel excited about something for the first time in... well, a long time. and what makes it even better, is the fact that you have changed. you are not the same person that you used to be. and it is good. you know that there are people in, and out of, this world who are rooting for you. they want you to enjoy your gifts and lessons and blessings. and it is beautiful and miraculous.
