What a Wonderful World.

(Thank-you Kristin for the photo!)

This weekend I celebrated my cousin's wedding with good friends and family.

The Bride and Groom were glowing, and I couldn't be more happy for them.
I always love watching two people so in love...
I unfortunately didn't take any pictures, but once I get my hands on some I'll be sure to post a few.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and of course the food was divine.

(I may or may not have taken a whole plate of cookies with me...)


I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Things I love...

1. Peppermint steamers at Starbucks

2. BYU Bookstore's white-chocolate-sprinkle-Christmas-tree-pretzels
3. Reading a good book in bed when it's snowing outside
4. Early morning yoga

5. Reminiscing and laughing with old friends

6. Homemade chocolate covered strawberries

Goodbye fall, hello winter.

You know winter is on its way when the once beautiful orange fall tree outside your home is now bare and cold.

Is it just me, or did October just fly by?

Fall came and went way too fast for me this year...although, I am excited to start wearing my big coats, wool sweaters, and boots. I usually dread this transition of seasons, but I am actually looking forward to it this year. Maybe it's because I know this might be the last real winter I'll have for awhile...or maybe it's because I can finally start wearing my black leggings that I just love.
Either way, I'm going to make the most of this winter season and hope to enjoy it while it lasts.
(which we all know will probably be for awhile...)

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

A Year in New York.

Today a friend from New York sent me this and I cried.

If you watch it, make sure to watch it fullscreen with the sound up...

Hopefully you'll get a glimpse of what I feel for this place. 

Packin' the bags.

Just packing my bags for a little trip home. 

I haven't been home since early spring so this trip has been much anticipated. 

Excited to see old friends and family!

I'll be back in a few days.

Fall.

Crisp air and falling leaves.
Isn't fall just the best?
It is probably my favorite season to be in Utah.

A few weeks back the girls and I got to spend a weekend up in Deer Valley at the Stein Eriksen Lodge. 

We could not get enough of the beautiful drive through the canyon and our view from our room!

It was breathtaking and a perfect little getaway. 

Hope everyone is enjoying this weather before it gets cold!

Current read(s).

The other day I made my way over to Barnes and Noble (a favorite of mine) to pick up some new reads.

I don't know what it is about bookstores, but every time I go I end up spending hours and hours trying to pick and decide on what books I want to read. I usually end up with 5 books in my hand and have to force myself to put back at least 2 or 3 of them! I'm addicted, and it's a problem.

So anyways, here are the books that are currently on my nightstand waiting to be read.
I'm not sure which one I am going to read first (they are all so different), but I'm super excited.

I'll be sure to post what I think of them once finished...

Let me know if you have any books that you would recommend that you have read/are currently reading! 

I'm always interested in hearing about books people have enjoyed.
(I'm thinking about joining a book club.) 

Distracted.

Found this video to be so true with how my life is right now. 

When it comes time to get crackin' on things, I always find ways to distract myself.
(for example, I have opted to blog instead of studying stats...yeah yeah yeah.)
Everyday I make a "to-do" list of all the things I need to get accomplished...
and I'll be honest, I usually only get half of it completed.


Some might say this video is taking it to the extreme, but I think it's brilliant.
Enjoy my friends.

Home away from home.

I have been back from New York for less than 24 hours and already I'm having withdrawals!

It was a fabulous long weekend spent with good friends doing great things.

The weather was beautiful, the food was divine, the walking was refreshing, and the company couldn't have been better. 

Let's just say the trip was a success (for many reasons) and was definitely needed and appreciated.

Being back in the city felt more like home than ever before... and I think it's a sign.

There's something about that place that makes me thrive and I'm already eager to get back.

Luckily I had the chance to visit some ad agencies, so keep your fingers crossed!

There are some good things in the works.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

New York, New York.

Taking a little trip to the east coast for some exciting things...
more details to come.

I'll be back soon.
