Eating with my ladies is the best. Even if it's just at the Cannon Center haha. 

I don't see them as often as I'd like to, even though we live on the same floor, cause I'm always with Mr. Dane. He takes up a lot of my time... which I of course don't mind :)

I'm thinking of cutting my hair again. 

She's just gorgeous, and I want her hair

Love, Sarai

PS: Tonight, Dane is taking me to Pizza Pie Cafe for my birthday dinner! YUM :)

I have never had a good Valentine's Day in my entire life. I'm no hater of V-day, but I've always been single, making it just a day for candy and hearts. But this time, I had Dane. My wonderful boyfriend. 

I woke up to this text:

"Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful girlfriend"

My heart melted a little bit.

Then, like the fantastic lady I am, I brought him cupcakes at work. Just a little surprise plate of goodness :)

Later, Dane showed up in my lobby with roses, Turtle Chocolates (I keep telling him I want a Turtle for my birthday), and a sweet little Valentine's card that he made for me in FHE. Most precious card I've ever gotten.

Then we went to Los Hermanos, and had some deliciousness, and free fried ice cream. Then we made out a little bit :)

So basically, everything about my night was wondrous. I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world.

Also, I'm so sick of people hating on Valentine's Day. I've always been single on V-day, but does that stop me from ingesting chocolate like there's no tomorrow? Oh heck no.

Love, Sarai

PS:

This song will always be the song that makes me think of Dane <3

I love my hat. I have an obsession with hats, but especially with gorgeous floppy ones like this.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Well except I also got about five million compliments today about it. People kept telling me that they loved that I can rock the hat. Made me smile quite a bit :)

Also, today was just wonderful in general. Classes were good, I got to hang out with a friend who gave me exciting news (mum's the word), and I ate soup from a bread bowl. Does life get any better than this? I think not my friends, I think not.

Love, Sarai

This is the lovely art



Departure from Normalicy

You know how there are those people who blog, and you feel like they don't really exist, even though they obviously do, it's just you know you'll never run into them in real life unless it's on purpose? Well Noah from Systematic Departure from Normalicy is one of those people. In my mind, he's one of those amazingly cool bloggers who I could never have the pleasure of running into on campus. Which until today was one hundred percent true. But, on today, a day that I was determined would be awful, he just so happened to stop me on campus on my way to the testing center, and he took my picture for his blog! I was shocked and delighted :)

So check out Noah's blog, and enjoy your days, even the ones that are bad, because they can still be great.

The time has come

I am officially on the countdown for days until I leave for BYU! Holy Goodness Sakes people! I'm feeling a combination of nervous, but excited...like Zac Efron on SNL...anyways

It's extremely nerve-wracking. Everyone keeps giving me advice, telling me not to date too many people, because apparently freshman guys are really only into NCMOs, but also, don't get too serious because we don't wanna deter or distract. But don't date RM's until I'm ready to get married....?!?! Scary thoughts people, SCARY THOUGHTS.

I'm so not looking for a husband. I mean, 18, and married? My father's worst nightmare. Or maybe, every father's worst nightmare...

And this is only one eighth of the advice I've gotten on dating, not to mention all the advice about jobs, housing, and academics. It's useful, I know. Just a bit overwhelming. But if it wasn't overwhelming, would it really even be considered college? I THINK NOT!

Sorry...I'm capslock heavy today ;)

OH. Also...an explanation for the random pictures of sushi behind my head in the above pictures--I went out to Sushi with my darling friends and I didn't really want to wait until I got home to take pictures, so we busted out the camera right there! It was unbelievably difficult to keep a straight face the whole time...I think maybe I laugh at myself more than is neccessary? ;)

And this, my lovelies....Are the treasures I chanced upon in pottery one day :)

We have to make glaze samples using random pieces of clay that we texture and then paint. And someone got excited and drew Unicorns! Ashley, that was for you :)

Love, Sarai
