i love institute! we talked about the saints in Kirtland and the awesomeness of Elder Hales! love that man!

old roommates unite...
tonight i got to spend time with two of my former roommates! gini and her fiance, eric, stopped by to hang out for a bit. it was so fun catching up with her and hearing about her preparations for the big day! i'm so excited for her and eric! they are the cutest and oh, so fun!
my dearest albanian roommate, Florida, asked me to help her make a giant cookie for one of her "guy friends" for st. patrick's day. so she came over and it was a great team efffort! i made the cookie and she decorated it with green M&Ms. it was great to catch up with her and hear all about her guy drama. poor girl needs to find a good man! she stayed and talked til like 11 and it was just fun! i miss her!
it was so random to have both of them there, but such an awesome way to spend my evening. and yes, i did eat some cookie dough, but i didn't eat as much as i would have usually... so instead of eating like a dozen cookies worth (literally), i only had like 2 cookies worth. small victory, right?!

such a fun night, and i still need to catch up with the biggest loser!! love that show!

off to bed!

i had the pleasure of "baby-sitting" Scottie's volleyball classes in the morning, so i had some extra time to do some blog stalking.

new favorite blog... http://www.munchercruncher.blogspot.com/ ... absolutely LOVE it!!

awesome new recipe... Banana Crumb Muffins
- Lauren let me try one of these muffins she made, and it was pure deliciousness! i will be using this instead of my other fatty and yummy banana bread recipe. i'm excited to test them out for myself. the ingredients seem pretty standard, so i'll let ya know how they turn out.

biggest SMILE-maker... Double Dream Hands

it's the week of spring break, so no practice which means more chillaxin and preparing for denver on thursday. i'm so grateful that i had some extra time to spend at the gym and some motivation. i'd like to start taking apart my chain and drop some lbs!

great day, and now it's time for bed!

muah xoxo

the chain...

change is in the air and summer is just around the corner... so it's time to bust out the big guns and get my booty in shape! to set off this great 25 pound weight loss plan, i made this sweet chain to help track my progress. any little thing to help motivate me and keep me going is much needed and appreciated.
so yeah, here we go again!! off to the gym :)
