A plane ticket back to Utah: $400, Spending a couple days with a best friend: Priceless

Tomorrow, I will move back to Provo.

While I am excited to be back in P-town, I am also enjoying spending time with Holly in good ole' Price, Utah.

We have been extremely busy.

Ok, well not really.....unless you count having to deal with BYU's registration and Financial Services. Let me just tell you, it is no bueno.

Today we spent the day finding out what it would be like to trade hairstyles.

Holly rocked my dark hair

And I loved my lighter, shorter hairdo :)

Then, we decided to play a little pool. I need to get in as much practice as I can before we leave because I just plain suck. Am I allowed to say suck? How about stink?............ I reallllly stink at pool.


Holly on the other hand is a pool shark :)

We also got in touch with nature today...especially with some way nast bugs! Despite it all, we had a fun time working on our tans. 



The funny thing about Utah, is that you can enjoy grassy splendor in some areas.....then open your back gate to find this:


Pure wasteland....but perfect for 4-wheeling. 


All in all, it was a perfect day. Except I am kinda fearing for my life right now. Why? Well, because it is dinner time.

Normally that would be a good thing...yummy food? Yes please! But, around these parts, food is scary folks.

Since we arrived, Holly's gma has been shoving food down my throat! She piles on the food before I can protest. Not wanting to offend her, I thank her and get to work.

When she is in the other room, I shove my food onto other people's plates. I also lie and say "yes, I already had some"...when she tries to shove more food on my plate.

I know, I'm bad.

But seriously, it is getting out of hand gma King.


I am especially fearful for my health since Holly and I helped her make today's dessert: Cinnamon Rolls


They were made with equal parts butter and sugar....and are guaranteed to stick to my thighs.

High calories and all, I am so excited to have Holly here at school with me :)

Yes, yes you are :)

Leavin' on a jet plane

My bags are packed.
Packed to the brim.



I fly out to Utah tomorrow morning and I still have a list of things to do:

-Get a haircut (A girls gotta get ready for Back-to-School beauty)

-Pluck my eyebrow...yep folks, eyebrow. I'm inches away from having a uni goin' on. Not cute.

-Charge my ipod so I can have some rockin' tunes to listen to when Holly falls asleep....because without fail, she will :p

-Find a comfortable flight outfit

-Shave my legs

-Do a final sweep of the house to make sure I have everything

-Talk to the BYU financial office about my loan

One thing on my list that I probably won't have time for:

-Stopping to BREATHE


Here's hoping that I will have a normal flight full of sane people. 

I'm double hoping that I do not make too much of a scene when I say goodbye to my momma tomorrow. For some reason I can hug my dad goodbye and be fine...but once I make it to mom, the tears start falling. 

I am a momma's girl. True story.


Quote of the Day 

This is certainly true for me today.


Well kids, I'm off to get back to packing....cross your fingers for me that my bags will be under 50 lbs!

Also, cross your toes that the Airport workers....technicians, whatever they are called, will be nice. 

For some reason I always run into the grumpy ones. Well, minus a creepy middle-aged male worker that kept touching me and calling me honey


The way he was looking at me kind of made me start to wonder if he was mistaking me for said sweet condiment.....yeah, not okay Southwest....not okay.
