If You Give Caitlin a Loaf of Pumpkin Bread...

...she will eat it all in one sitting.

Here are a couple o' pictures

some thoughts from today

It's the end of the summer.

My hair is WAY damaged (via too much chlorine and coloring it)

I'm thinking of cutting my hair in a month. What? No. Yeah...

School started today. I'm a senior. Oddddddd

I'm extremely tired and haven't gone to bed before 12 the past week

I started writing in a new journal today

I'm absolutely sick of toquitos. (spelling?)

My house is almost finished!

I'm getting a school blessing tonight (yay!

My sister came home from a Brazil trip today

I got my pay check today

My bed is calling me. I can hear it.

I'm kind of craving chicken rolls. Yum. Those sound gooood right now.

My dad is playing a song on the piano he always plays before scripture study. Not sure what it's called but its one of those common songs EVERY ONE knows on the piano. His is an original version.

I had a great first day of school

I got this REALLY cute jacket that I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE!

I need to go.

Maybe I should Post some Pictures...

These are some pictures I took from a while back...

 Black and white or COLOR?

Can you see those lines coming off from the jet trail? That's what I love about this picture

 Top: some noise added. Bottom: noise not added...

 Typical rose and piano picture

 The sky that night was A-MAZ-ING. It was crazy

I've got a Feeling...

This morning I woke up with a different feeling. The feeling was very familiar and I knew it from somewhere, but I could not figure it out. My windows were open and  a gust of air came through my room and I could smell the beginnings of crisp air and fall.

Was that it? Is the feeling Fall? Almost, but not exactly.

Ah. I know. I remember now.

School.

School has a very particular feel; especially the beginning of it. It's a nervous/excited/not really excited/ stomach dropping/ turning off the alarm feel. If that makes any sense.

It's going to be my senior year and I'm REALLY excited. I'm at the top of the high school chain. The big guy. The one who should know everything. This year is going to be a blast with friends, the classes i'm taking, and just having fun. I am a little nervous for this AP english class I'm taking though...I despise english. But with prayers and a little faith and help I will get through the class :)

As excited as I am about this year, I'm also about ready to break down and cry.
1) High school has gone by ridiculously fast and I don't know if I'm ready for it to be done (let's see what I say about that about a week into school. ha.) I will lose contact with most of my friends, except for through facebook. Which doesn't really count.

2) Here is the MAIN reason I'm worried. I don't know what to do afterwards. College? I'm not ready. What if I don't get into the college I have wanted to go to my whole life? I don't know what to major in. I really have no idea. I've been telling people that I've been thinking about photography, and I have, but I don't think I have what it takes to get into the program. I looked up some classes you have to take to major in it and one of them is something like 2D design and drawing. Um...yeah not good at those. At all. I'm also scared about all the other classes. Math, no good unless I really understand it. Science, really, I do not enjoy. I am not at all interested or good at it. English, I've already declared my dis-like. And with papers I have to write for different classes...ha! I'm expecting no higher than a C. The writing genes from my parents certainly did not come to me.

I'm not ready to go into the real world. But I will probably be there tomorrow the way school flies by.

"this book title will remain un-named"

Don't you just love books? Especially ones where there is a love interest and their story is just perfect, adorable, cute, and leaves you with the most amazing day dreams for the next week? I sure love those. I can get into those books (most of the time) and just fall in love with the good characters and absolutely hate the creepy ones that are trying to ruin this perfect relationship that is trying to happen. I talk to myself when I get excited about something i've just read (like a cute line the boy says to the girl, or something nice he did for her, etc) and usually get this HUGE smile on my face. It's a good feeling :D

Sometimes, I get disappointed though. Extremely, disappointed.

You know the creepy character that I hate that I mentioned just seconds ago? Well, lets talk about that character (Whether it be a boy or a girl, it's just the character that I feel like should not end up with any of the main characters that I like). There are times when the author does not at all mean for the reader to dis like this certain character, but alas, it does most definitely happen. And they are turned into the creep in the readers mind through out the book. Then. They main personel ends up with that creeper the reader does not like. STUPID.

I just read one of those books. I will not name the name so that I don't spoil it, but I was not at all happy about the ending.

She was supposed to end up with HIM! not...him...

It was an extremely unfortunate ending for me because I really liked the book. It was good and entertaining. There was a girl that I wanted to end up with this boy, and it seemed like it would happen! In the back of my mind though I would think "what if she ended up with this other guy...that would be lame. No, it wouldn't happen. It would completely ruin the book".

It happened though.

I guess that has to happen sometimes though. I'm still not excited about it. Maybe its a way of keeping the readers in the real world. Then they are not day dreaming too much and then expecting a lot in their own "love life".  It does happen.

I should minimize my own day dreaming.

Wait What? Jimmer Fredette?!

You see this guy? His name is Jimmer

He is one of my all time favorite BYU basketball players aaaand I met him yesterday? What? It was kind of an embarrassing/great situation...here is the story

I was at Target yesterday with a couple friends getting some bagels. We went over to the bakery and deli area, got our stuff then turned around. Right when I turned around I made quick eye contact with Jimmer and just stood there in complete and udder shock. With my jaw dropped of course. My friend said that my face turned way white, then really red. I didn't know what to do so I just turned and walked away and started to hyperventilate. Literally. I couldn't breath! I was half laughing and half gasping for air and was just in complete shock that I had just seen Jimmer Fredette. I called my dad to tell him and he thought that I had been in a car accident or something because of the way I sounded. Nope, just Jimmer. He told me to go get his autograph or something because it's a one in a life time chance. To see Jimmer. In target. Ah!

Alright.

So me and my friends went walking down looking in every isle trying to find him. We found him on the isle right across from the shampoo isle. I had my back to him and asked my friend Taylor ( the following conversation isn't the exact words, but the general idea) "is he behind me? Is he there?"
"yeah, he is"
"What do I do? Come with me"
"I can't go with  you!"
"Please! I need support"
friend sarah comes and joins
"You guys need to come with me"
And then....I just turned around and started walking toward him, with out saying anything else.
(imagine this next line in a really high voice. Because that's how it was. Super embarrassing)
"Um...Jimmer?"
ah! Stupid right?
"Can you sign this?" (I pull out a notebook) "can I get  your autograph?"
"Sure" (says Jimmer)
"Sorry for bugging you, I feel really bad"
"Don't worry about it. Here you go"
"Thanks. Bye"
Turn quickly around and walk away while hitting my head with the notebook.
Now, I do not have a picture for proof this time. I already felt bad bugging him for his autograph, I didn't want to bug him with a picture. Plus is girlfriend was there so it was kind of awkward...

My legs were super weak at this point and it felt like I was going to collapse. Did I just talk to Jimmer?! Heck yes I did!

Oh, and listen to this. I was wearing my work out clothes and looked super cute. (That last part was sarcastic)

It was great though. He was kind of quiet...probably because he is sick of people coming up to him. :P You never expect how you are going to act with things like this until it actually happened. Believe me, I've planned this situation out in my head if it ever happened in my life time, and it was NOTHING like this. Oh well. What's done is done.

Jimmer is an AMAZING basketball player and I just love to watch him play. Stuff he does and shots he gets in are CRAZY. I hope he has a good NBA career :)

P.s. I am not one of those "all of a sudden a Jimmer fan because he is famous". I have been watching him play since he was a sophomore and have always been a fan.

Sorry if I creeped you out or annoyed you Jimmer. But it made my year. Thanks :)

One more video that helps make my day

Look up the rest of their songs, their great :)

Less Effective

The past couple of weeks I've had my alarm set for 8:03 in the morning. Why? It's Summer? I know. BUT. I've wanted to get up and do some good stretching, crunches, planks, and all those joyful things. Cause it's good for you. I did it the first couple of days. Like the first two days...after that I just turned over, turned off my alarm, and went back to sleep. And even though I know I do that, I still keep my alarm on. Because I have faith in myself that one day I will get up 87% of the time and actually do something.

Lets hope I do

Here is a video that always makes my day a bit better. Enjoy!

Some of my pictures...

not the best picture, but I like it

 This is the last duck one, promise

My all time favorite stop sign. Where it is, is a secret. Ha.

Addicting.

What is just as addicting as facebook, has really cute stuff, AMAZING looking desserts, and is just pretty great?

Guess.

Nope. Not it. Guess again




Yeah! Pinterest!

Holy goodness. Me and my sister have spent hours on this website. I was browsing through just now when the idea came to blog about it.
   
   Here are some of my favorite things from it:


I love strawberries and chocolate. One of the best combinations ever



Cheesecake=Heaven



I just thought these shoes were cute.


I like the frames on the right. I know it's super cluttered and it's A LOT of frames, But I think it's awesome

Okay. I don't like these. These make me throw up in my mouth. Sick.


I LOVE all of these. If only I could make one...

I am...genius. Took me long enough

 Look! A picture

It worked! I got the pictures to upload! Happy day. Well THIS would be my brother I was talking about earlier...

...and there are still more of those amazing pictures. He would probably freak if he found out I was posting these. He is actually sitting right across from me right now. Little does he know....

Why Blogger? Why?

I love photography. I very much enjoy it. I normaly just take pictures of things I see, you know, like a photographer does. Der. But a couple of days ago I did my first actual portrait 'photo shoot' with my brother!

What do ya know, it turned out pretty good!

So here is the thing, I would post some pictures from that shoot and some others that I have. BUT. It won't let me upload them. What? Yeah. I don't know why. It seems like any pictures that I photoshop or edit or anything of the sort, won't upload.

Help?

Oh well. I will try some more sometime.

Game night tonight. Ye-ah

Who needs a Water Park?!

Just put up the pool in your backyard and play a little whirlpool and 'piano' and you are set!

Suggestion: It helps if you let the hose sit in the sun a while before hand so that when you fill up the pool the water is a little bit warmer...

Not a Fan

Um...

I do not get these kind of trucks. It doesn't really seem to add any space and it looks ridiculous. The truck looks like it's 9 months prego or that it has some great love handles going on there.

It's just not my style.
