Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight!

soo I'm back at school...yayyyy...not! ha!
i'm taking college algebra with my favorite math teacher, liz, love her haha and english once a week on friday at 8am blahh sucksss and drawing and painting. i'm actually really enjoying the classes so far, I know they'll get harder which then will ruin my thoughts towards them but for right now i'm keeping positive. i actually don't mind the 2 morning classes anyways; gets me to bed early, my morning started, and since i can't take naps anymore (i don't know why...i wish tho don't get me wrong!) but tired enough to WANT to go to bed early haha.
i nanny every tuesday and thursday afternoons and i work at jcrew every friday, saturday, and sunday so i don't really have time to stay out late anymore unfortunately...my social life has gone down hill but i need the money so i'm okay with putting it on hold for a little bit (daytime activities with friends are good, but nighttime...ehhhh im tired ha!). life will pick up and get more hectic once ski season starts...i'm pretty stoked!

to everyone on the east coast-- fall is about to start, i'm pretty jealous!
west coasters-- lets enjoy the fall for the two weeks that it lasts haha!

One Week in Utah in a new house

Once we got home from California I had a week to work and move and do whatever in Utah because I was heading home at the end of that week. I ended up working 6 of the 8 days that I was there and it paid off because I needed some money for when i went to connecticut. I did a lot of eating out too :/ because I didn't want to grocery shop and then just leave and have all my food go bad...I still bought some snacks and frozen pizzas from the store. Brit and Chrissy moved everything while i was in california to our new house which is the best house ever haha we got our living room set up and it is the best room because we have a bunch of couches and my futon and directtv so we hang out in that room a lot. we love the new house!

California

John and I spent 10 days in California this summer and it was the best trip ever! We spent a lot of time at the beach even though it was cold! First of all the temperature was perfect, but it was also windy at the beach pretty much the whole time we were there so with the perfect temperature and wind it created chilliness on the water :/ super bummerrrr. Other than the beach we did a lot of shopping and hanging out with John's family. His cousin Kellie got married in the Newport Beach temple at the beginning of our stay. Since Gerita was the photographer for the wedding John, Kristian and I named ourselves the 3 best friends that anyone's ever had! Gerita named herself the Other haha :) After spending a bunch of time in Garden Grove and Huntington Beach John and I went south to San Clemente to visit my family. My dad and my uncle John flew in and Jeff and Derek were already there so it was awesome! Its been awhile since I've seen everyone so it was great to spend the time with my family! My aunt Brittany had her second child, Teddy, and it was so awesome to meet the little guy! instead of being "cousin lauryn" i'm "aunt lauryn" that makes me feel better haha Jack was teh cutest guy ever. He's still learning to talk and do everything and it was so adorable! the last day that we were with my family we went to Teddy's baby blessing and then headed to the park for some good ol' family fun. we stuffed our faces with delicious food then played 2 games of croqout! it was soo much fun!

John and I had so much fun in california, we didn't want to leave! We're stoked that we have family there so its so easy for us to leave utah whenever we have some free time and peace to california haha
