lotsa moments.

so in about 2 days I will officially be a senior at Utah State University. what? yeah.
I will only have 11 credits in the fall then 12 credits of student teaching next spring.
for anyone's information, there is a chance that I will be completing my student teaching hours in Norway through the study abroad program at USU. it is still in the works and the application isn't due until the first week of October.
I know what you are thinking, because it is the first question I get every time I tell someone about this...
what about Keaton?
and my answer for that is:
We will see.
he is supportive, always has been, always will be.
so. we will see.
It is something I have always wanted to do, and for the time being, I feel very confident that it is something I should do and am actually just really excited about it!
anyway. that is that and now I will move on.

these last couple weeks have been some of the most fun-filled days I have had in a while.
between the end of year bash concert (He is We, Ready Set, and Parachute), bonfires, Double Dutch Night, boating, and finishing all my classes, I have enjoyed myself quite a lot.

here are some pics to prove to my social media following that I do things with my life.

Mel Duff and I had a piano class this semester because we wanted a "fun elective". uh, yeah right. I'm sure I have already complained about my pompous teacher who expected us to compose our own symphonies by the end of the semester. But somehow, with a lot of practicing and literal anxiety attacks, we made it through our final recital with flying colors and bid our instructor adieu. hallelujah; see ya never.

Mariah (between mel and I) has got to be one of the sweetest souls I have ever known. Im so sad that we really didn't start getting to know her until towards the end of the semester. She rocked it at the recital and Mel and I seriously felt like such proud mama hens.

I have started packing up my room. It is so hard to find motivation to do anything these last couple days. I am what you would say, "burnt out". summer is a necessity at this point in time. lucky me, it is right around the corner.

and now, I shall leave you with a few pictures that will undoubtedly put a smile on your face.

the talented Jacki Miller took these of Tatum girl for her 6 month old shoot. I could die, I love her so much!

happy monday, ya'll.

Mother's day is in less than two weeks. Happy Skype date to meeeeeee.

a throwback.

I was stalking my sister on the book a week or so ago and came across these pics.
they were from a little over two years ago when the four of us (me, kace, keat and jordan) went down to the george to visit my grandparents.
and also the weekend kace and jord got engaged! love.
but these photos just really made me laugh.
probably way more than they should, but you know me...
plus, i like this kid a lot so i am deciding to share them

it was freezing and keat loved that pink jacket way too much...

the night after kace and jordan got engaged, keat found me a real nice rock from the gift shop of some casino.

i miss my goober.

perfect weekend.

spent it in st george with the fam on a boat.
HEAVENLY.
also, it was conference.
watch/listen to it here
I promise it will change your life if you let it.

miss tatum ruby loved the boat.
the swimming pool, notsomuch.
but that is something we are willing to work on.
f'reals though, I didn't want to leave.
it didn't help the matter that I returned to a snow covered logan.
where did you go, Spring???

also, a realization...next conference, there is very high possibility I will be watching it with none other than mister keat jeff flitt, in the flesh.
wadupwitdat!

another realization.
next week is registration for fall semester.
as I was preparing, I found out that I only have to take TWO classes (6 credits) that are actually on campus.
the rest (6 credits) are either clinicals or internships that I complete this summer and in salt lake sometime throughout the semester!!!
I knew that taking heavy course loads my first 3 years of college would pay off somehow!
it is an understatement to say I am excited for fall semester.
it's like i'm almost giddy about it.
who does that?! it's school! gross.

and to finish your browsing with a few photos.
