I love summer

I think it's a newfound love, or maybe just a greater appreciation. I've always loved summer, but summer here in Provo is so different. It's full of friends, family, books, and sun. But I think this summer will be different because I don't have school looming in the future and I'm able to just relax and enjoy life.

The past couple days it has felt like summer is finally on its way, despite all of the crazy rain we've been having. And, this summer has the prospect of being EPIC. And these are the reasons why:

1. 7Peaks/Trafalga pass - I haven't bought it yet, but I will
2. Cruise in July with Brooke
3. No school in the fall
4. Provo City Library Summer Reading Program. It started today and I'm freaking excited about it.
5. We have recently discovered how many movies the library has and will be taking full advantage. Brooke, Jess, and I have already enjoyed Emma and Somewhere in Time and are looking forward to Nicholas Nickelby
6. I fully intend to get an awesome tan. Not lifeguarding and swimming status, but just enough to make me look alive through out the winter...
7. TacoTime. A new one just opened up down the street from work and I am obsessed with it. It is seriously my kind of place. They have mexifries (aka tattertots) and a Chicken BLT burrito. How can it get better than that?
8. Fourth of July in Provo. I don't know why, but Provo just knows how to do the Fourth of July.
9. Sandals
10. Shaved Ice stands on every corner
11. Light outside until 9:30
12. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART II.

Doesn't that have the makings of an awesome summer?

They've done it again

First, McDonald's came out with $1 double cheeseburgers.

Then it was $1 Dr. Pepper's.

But, now they have done it again.

Two words. Rolo. McFlurry.

Did you get that? McDonald's now has Rolo McFlurry's.

And they are amazing.

What is McDonald's trying to do to me!

When it feels like everything is wrong

I'm having one of those nights when all of a sudden life goes from being perfectly excellent to exceedingly crappy.

When it just feels like everything is wrong and you can't help but dwell on all of the little things that bug the crap out of you and you wish were different.

When you wish things would change, but know they won't.

When you feel frustrated because of things you can't control.

When you feel like crying because it just might help lift the weight pushing on your chest.

When all you want to do is talk to your sister and she helps remind you that everything will turn out OK but simultaneously joins in your unfair abusings and promises to check on you in the morning.

When you feel betrayed by life because it doesn't play by the rules and really isn't fair.

When you know you have to be the one to change, and work, and maintain positivity when the world is battling against you, because that is all you really can control.
