Spontaneous St. George Trip

Friday night Tyler and I decided we needed a trip, a little get a way to relieve some stress, spend some time together and enjoy riding some road bikes. So we packed, loaded up the car... stopped by a reception... and were on the road in an hour and a half.
I have no pictures to share but it was MUCH NEEDED... and here is what we found and HIGHLY suggest you to check out if staying there or passing by.

Bear Paw Cafe. This place is a breakfast SENSATION. they serve breakfast, and have some of the most delicious waffles and stuffed french toast!
 I enjoyed a stuffed french toast with vanilla brulee cream... mouth watering. They also have fantastic fruit smoothies.

Nielsen's Frozen Custard. I've never been a fan of frozen custard, it just does not sound appealing but man, I would choose this over any ice cream ANY DAY. It was outstanding! they only serve vanilla and chocolate but they both are delicious.

Got some fun Road biking in :)

Grocery Shopping...

There is one thing in this world that I wish I could do without, that is GROCERY SHOPPING.

I hate grocery shopping for 2 reasons.
FIRST... Despite getting everything on my list AND THEN some I spend a butt load a money and find really that I didn't buy anything!  unfortunately, this is reoccurring issue and somehow can't seem to conquer it! yikes.
SECOND... AM shoppers. Brave women who bring their millions of children to the grocery store in the hours of 9-11. Never have I seen so much kicking, screaming, "mommy get me this", whinny minions publicly throwing fits (with the exception of Disney Land princess stores). I do not hate children but DAD-GUM I am not ready to have one. I about ran over 4 of them within 2 isles! Then the thought occurred to me... as much as I make fun of those children leashes--maybe they aren't so bad after all.

and just when I think I learn from the last grocery trip, there I am again... at that stupid grocery cart full of who knows what, running over little children.. I need a horn or something. Heck maybe a horn will end up in my cart next week.


Note to self: Do not go to gym if on Midol. BAD NEWS.

One last final tomorrow... I can see the light!! my brain is fried like an egg thrown on a Las Vegas road in the middle of summer. But it's almost over, YAY!  Then I am going to play my life away until knee surgery next week!

No Consolation Prizes

I'm in love with the band PHOENIX.
I blame my brother for getting me just slightly addicted. I would sell anything I had to go to one of their concerts (okay not LITERALLY) but it is my number 2 bucket list check off right behind riding elephants in Thailand.
They fit every mood I am ever in, and always pull through for me.
These tunes are mostly what's getting me through finals studying!

Besides endless episodes of New girl, blank stares with my anatomy pictures and delicious frosted mini wheat cereal... I think I'm making pretty good progress with my endless studying :)

YUCK

Suffered through this ALL semseter... and this was a MILD day. 

ENJOY

In light of the CHRISTMAS SEASON

Sort've a bunch of mumbo-Jumbo but here ya go!

In Light of the Christmas Spirit Tyler and I went to the Festival of Tree's!
this one was my favorite.. I love santa and gingerbread men!!

Where I also saw this quilt and am Dying to make.. Maybe while I have my knee surgery in 2 weeks I can whip this bad boy out. 

and YAY for BYU Choir... despite our conductor forgetting an entire last verse to our very last song.. I think we did quit well and it was fun. --I forget out much fun singing Christmas carols is.

Finals are quickly approaching... "Keep Calm and Carry On"  (just some advice to those continually posting on FB about how hard life sucks during finals week" --i promise you'll live.

Dear future Gingerbread house,

You may not ever get made this Christmas season because my belly delights in your sweetness.

Mostly sorry,

Holly

Couples Costumes

Sorry to all you single costume goers... but dressing up with your bestfriend is 10X better!
We ended up going to a creepy play (non the less getting cultured of course)
upon arriving to this play (where apparently people dress up nice) I was waiting in the lobby for Tyler and came across a few play goers looking at me. so my Instincts kicked it-- I glided to a glass wall and stood still.
I got some funny looks, glance after glance, and some whispering... thoroughly enjoyable.
We also had some funny (but obvious) comments
the lady taking our tickets, "Hey! I found you! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
Family members, "Good lucky meeting (my brother and sister in law) they wont find you!"
All in all an its been an awesome Halloween, and its not yet over! tomorrow we are dressing up and handing out candy oh boy I cant wait to see all the little kid Costumes!

I'm even tempted to dress up to go on campus tomorrow- that could be a thrill

I will brag.. I do believe I have the best husband in the world!!
LOVE this Hunk of a man :)
