one. old faithy. cody, wyo.

first things first.
HAPPY ONE MONTH Y'ALL!!!
if this last month is any indication of how the next 23 will be, i believe i am in for smooth sailing.
i miss my boy every single day, but hey, i am only that much closer to being with him again!


last weekend, my girls and i took a fun fun fun roadtrip to yellowstone and Cody, WY. (mary's hometown.)
it was so much fun being with them all and not having to think about school, work, boys, and all the other stressful things in our lives. 
Jo had never been to Old Faithful, so it was a definite stop on our way.
we had so much fun driving and singing.
it's what we do best.
i have the best friends on the planet. 
it is such an amazing blessing to be able to have such great girls to spend these great years of my life with.
we all know each other so well and we are so lucky to have 7 sisters and best friends to vent to, laugh with, cry with, pick on, and learn so much from. 
these girls have taught me so much and lift me up.
i am truly blessed to have them in my life.
and we are all pretty hilarious.
so that makes it fun.














on our adventure in Cody, we attended the famous Buffalo Bill Museum, toured the haunted cites like the Irma Hotel and Caroline Lockhart's house.
It was fun to see Mary have so much fun being at home.
her family was so sweet to us.
it was quite the roadtrip.
can't wait til next fall break...

let's play catch up.

that makes it sound like i haven't blogged in a year. 
but with the number of you reminding me that i haven't blogged in a week makes it seem way longer than it actually has been. 
but my apologies.
i really have tried my hardest to blog. 
well maybe not hardest, but it seems like every time i go to do it, i draw a blank.
i even find myself pulling up my bloggyboo and hoping somehow it magically had a new post about something riveting and attractive to the senses.
has that happened to any of you??
like you feel like you have so much to say, but just have such little motivation to type it all up?

i might as well do this right now...because who knows how long this will be and if any of you will really make it all the way through to the end...butttt. i started a blog for Keat and his mish.
you should follow it! what is better than one blog that chandler does?? 2 blogs that chandler does!
follow the link here and you will maybe love this cute missionary just as much as i do.

well guess what? it is sunday afternoon, i had a splendid day at church and with the parents up in L ville and now i have decided to blog my little heart out.
you are welcome.

first off, i would like to say DAY 11 ladies and gents...day 11.
sounds like hardly nothing, but that is a huge feat for me.
no mental/emotional breakdowns yet.
holla.
i have made sure to warn everyone though they soon shall come.
just a warning. 
but i did manage to purchase this super cute count down! 
des book. 4 bucks. on my college student budget, thats a whole paycheck practically. my man is worth it.
sorry it is backwards. macs will do that to ya.
but it is cute. a dot a day. makes it not look like much, right?? 
i think that was the main reason i got it. not gonna lie. 

next.
my fab mother's birthday was this last wednesday.

what a wonderful woman she is.
i sure do love her a lot!!
i didn't get to celebrate with her, but i did send her a sweet card and note to her and she did receive a great letter from our fave missionary.
sheesh, her letter was longer than mine this week. lucky girl.
but i think the world of my dear momma.
she does everything for me. always has, always will.
she has sacrificed and worked so hard to give my sis and i the life we have. 
she has always been my number 1 fan and never missed any volleyball games. ever.
she def had the best bday, relaxing in the new hot tub. 
i am one jelly belly on that one!!
I LOVE YOU MOMMA!!!

what else...
i just asked melanie what else i had to blog about and she said, "my face".
so here ya go: miss melanie chacharoo duffy.

she will be famous someday with her hit single, "Why do you wanna be me?"


lets see...
we had a great GNO last friday.
dinner at firehouse.
it was great...
i might even let the waitress spill a whole tray of beverages on me again and get another free meal...
nbd.
then went and saw Dream House!
any of you seen it??
holy crap it was so good! i am so not into scary/thriller/suspense flicks, but this one had me glued.
i only screamed/shrieked in the theater like twice so thats pretty good for me.
let me add, daniel craig is quite the looker. i mean, for an older guy.

not much else has really happened.
my life is full of excitement, isn't it?

work is busy, school is great.
la la laaaa.

i do have some pretty snazzy fingernails at the moment. mary said they are gaga-ish. i didn't really like that comment...
but i decided to take an equally gaga photo to capture the essence of my nail art.
i am real pretty. i know.
thanks pinterest. you da best.

there ya have it folks.
