she wore the dress, and i stayed home.

so,

last week was kind of the week from hell.

but luckily, i have the two best sisters in the entire world.

and they were kind of angels.

midway through the week, mid-break down, i called my julie-sister, and she calmed me down.

and made me miss her.

and yesterday, 

while in the middle of studying... and stressing...

a surprise visitor showed up on my doorstep! all the way from the slc!

amy-sister pulled one over on me. how she did that, i'll never know.

we had a chat on my bed,

and then she took me to get an oil change. minutes before my car almost exploded, i'm sure.

[just kidding, dad. i'm not thaaaat irresponsible.] 

my big sisters deserve the world.

they put up with their kid sister like nobody's biz. 

and i love that about them.

 

brothers are wonderful, parents, phenomenal.

but there's just something about sisters.

and mine happen to be the best ever.

[p.s. i took two finals this morning... back to back. most grueling 4 hours of my life. long live the carpel tunnel. stay in bed for the rest of the day? don't mind if i do.]

[p.PPPP.s. ... birthday countdown? 10 days. what it is.]

if i kiss you where it's sore.

i'm pretty sure this research paper rescued me.

it's amazing, the clarity that comes from reading.

because at the end of the day,

my heart still belongs to my education;

i am in so much love with art history.

title love, my girl, regina.

reasons you should move to logan:

1. [let us not pretend this needs an explanation.]

2. citrus & sage's garden display. i missed this place like crazy over the summer. remember how i told you i would?

3. i left my heart between 3 east and 10 north. you would too.

[my favorite homes by the temple. the one in the middle simply weakens my seams.]

...

this week was a hard one, and i am thrilled that it's over.

i got an email from my sweet mother today telling me that everything will be alright if i believe in myself and trust in the lord.

that woman.

she always knows the right thing to say.

{have a silly weekend, lovers.}
