--risky business--

halloween, never really been my thing. not until now. halloween + college + dancing all night + new friend = total success. had a great time this weekend dancing it up with some new girls, and with old ones too. sarah, hannah, chandler, heather, amanda, kelsey, liz, rachel, rachel #2, and others made the night especially wonderful. cheers to a happy pre- halloween. hope you have a spooky day. and remember...  treats > tricks.

snowflakes

Rexburg is pretty magical right now, its a winter wonderland... in fall? im not so sure i will like the snow in a week, but for now.. we are friends! i had a great day sippin' cider with Rachel all morning long while watching snowflakes dance across the sky. Smores waffles with Morgan made the day even more deliciously magical. And movie nights with friend left my snow day on a high. If the snow brings all this happiness, i think we will get along swell. happy snow day!

xoxo robs!

p.s. we have exciting news! Morgan is coming home with me for Thanksgiving.... whoo! let the fun begin!

hay there-

so for home evening we decided to hit up the hay maze, we were lost for a good hour... it was quite fun! we had a great time freezing our butts off , drinking hot cocoa, and running into MANY dead ends. it was a fun night. here is a glimpse of the photos i took. 

i had a great time being behind the camera in such a spooky fun settting. the lighting was a bit of a challenge... but we worked it!

p.s. i am currently obsessed with Taylor Swifts new CD Red!

lately.

****

life has been treating me well lately. 

lately i've had some good laughs.

 really enjoying the chilly weather and clothing. 

loving the beanies, jackets, layers, and rain.

i had a blast this week hanging out with friends,

watching the walking dead, lacrosse games, and flag football.

i have met some truly amazing people. 

people i love and will never forget.

loving these memories. 

lately i have been lucky. 

p.s. cant wait for thanksgiving....missing my mom. 

whimsical.

so today was a whimsical day on campus. the colors all around seemed bright and vibrant. they made me feel so warm, even though it is quite chilly out in rexburg. i have decided that fall in rexburg is my favorite time. i absolutely love it. had a great day DI shopping, got two new winter skirts that were only $4, which was quite a steal. we ended our night watching scary movies with friends and cuddling in blankets, cause our dorm seems to encourage hypothermia. gotta love the poor college student lifestyle. thank goodness for electric blankets. 

hope you had a wonderful day also.

smile more!

xoxo robs.

reminiscing.

today was a pretty thoughtful day. the rain matched my emotion. kind of a grey day. missing home, and missing my kitten. rexburg is beautiful in the rain, so many different values of gray and blue. makes me wish i had my paint set. cant wait until i get a chance to catch up on releasing some built up feelings into my artwork. well have to see what comes of that. the day is coming to an end, yet homework seems endless?  if only i was the fairy god mother and could change homework to sleep. calling it an early night, i am positive tonight will be a soundless night. sweet dreams of being home with my family.... please.

windy wonders.

today i got to spend the whole day with my mom and brother. i couldnt think of a better way to spend my saturday. we went to lunch and then at 2:30 we headed up to Victor, Idaho to see Tate race at Moosecross. It was a cyclocross race, so those are always extra fun to watch. Chris, one of me and tates friend drove up with us! it was a really fun time. Tate did very well and pulled a great number! The rest of the day was spent dancing it up and and is ending on a high note as i awe over Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice! What a wonderful day.

good job today,  tate!

fortunes&family

so i had a spectacular friday. guess who came to visit me in little ole rexburg? my mom.. and brother! talk about a double wammy! i was super excited to hear that they were spending the night in rexburg while on their way up to driggs for tate's cyclocross race (where i will be tomorrow, screaming and shouting for him). i spent the day napping and cuddling with my mom-- catching up on sleep was much needed. and then we went to dinner at Mandarin Chinese Restaurant! I was very suprised at how good the food really was! whoohoo. I got to bring a few of my favorite poeple! Emily. Danielle. Dallin. Tate. and Mom. It was a super fun meal with a ton of laughs, mockery, and happiness. I think i may be on cloud nine right now, so happy! The rest of the night I spent talking with my roommates, and just hanging out. We started to watch a movie, and then i realized i was insane... i totally should be at the hotel cuddling with my mommmy! so guess what i did? exactly that. and here i am now. Just as giddy as a a thirteen year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert. I have missed my best friend ! So glad you visited me mom! Good luck on your race tomorrow, Tate! Pictures to come!

fall.

just a little post to welcome the fall. i love the leaves, the red and orange hues, they make everything seem so majestic! even though its getting super chilly outside, i find myself  enjoying the walks to and from class just so i can see the trees! i am already loving the boots and tights, the pea coats and jackets, and the beanies and scarfs. here comes fall! totally embracing it!
