Little Heart Pains

Isn't this picture the cutest?! Yeah, i definitely just googled "sad faces" and this came up :)

 Anyway, I just realized today that I leave in two weeks and I have to say goodbye to my best friend (other than sarai) for a whole year! AH! He's going to Nigeria and being a good person... gahh. Plus i'm just freaking out about school... There's just been a lot of stuff like this lately and i've come to call them little heart pains. It all started with Sarai leaving. haha. And yesterday my camera got ruined so no pictures for a while. Sad day. Just a warning, don't ever trust that uncontrollable boys won't throw you in a pool even if you do have a towel on while holding your dry clothes and brand new camera. (PUNK!)

This whole thing might sound a little emo but just read it in a light tone and then you'll know how I would be saying this to you. :) 

Peace

The Great Outdoors and Big City

I climbed underneath the bridge for this one :) rebel... haha

I really liked messing around with the effects on my new camera as you can tell :) I think there's only three colored pictures of this whole outing haha. Anyway, we went to Tryon State Park which surprisingly is only 15 minutes from downtown Portland. whaat?! That's why I love the Portland area. You're always close to anything outdoorsy so if you get sick of the hussle and bussle you can easily get away.

We took a ton of failed jumping pictures before we started. Some actually turned out but we just look retarded... haha

A few days after our little hiking adventure, my friend Emily and I went shopping in Ptown for stuff for our trips! Em is going to France and she leaves Sunday :( Sadly, we wont see eachother until Thanksgiving break so we're living it up now! Instead of getting gifts for our host families like we had planned we only got clothes of course haha

THIS BAG! We found it at Buffalo Exchange and it even has Emily's initials on it! I dubbed it the best find ever. And i'm super excited to wear my new shoes!

LUNCH!

We got stuck in traffic so i took this picture while in the driver's seat... scary stuff! We weren't moving, i promise!

Dates Are Fun :)

I have so much to say, but it's past midnight. So that will all wait until tomorrow....

Anyways, tonight I got the courage to ask a cute boy on a date...and he said yes :) So, not per my usual policy, we went to the dollar theater. I don't normally do theaters for dates, but it was fun, and we were already going to the movies, so I just invited him.

We saw Water for Elephants, and I loved it. Yes, I cringed during some scenes, and I had to cover his eyes ;) But overall, a really good movie in my personal opinion..it followed the book really well too.

And did I mention he's cute? Cause he is :) And he's a really sweet guy, who paid for my ticket even though technically he could have assumed it was a group thing since there were so many people. I might have been the only one with a date...but no big deal ;)

And so here's a picture of my disgusting sweaty face after a night of walking to the theater, and back, and being yelled at by random cars who apparently don't like big groups of college students....k cool guys :P



There you have it folks. You'll know if there's a second date haha.

Love, Sarai

Creepy Dogs and Crazy Chatrooms

Boredom!

Outfit Details: top F21 skinnies F21 shoes Gifted earrings Gifted creepy dog Our dear friends

However cute you may think little Skippy is, I tell you she's an alien! You can smell her from ten feet away(she stinks up EVERYTHING), she rubs her butt on the carpet, tries to be innappropriate with my dog, she won't sleep anywhere besides my bed, she can sit there licking one spot for hours, and she follows me EVERYWHERE! and if you know me, you'd know I absolutely loathe clinginess! Anyway, that's my little rant for the day...

So the other day we had a chatroom meet up session with the group that's going to Chile with me. Boy let me tell you, having ten people in one chatroom is madness! It's constant talking and asking questions and our poor mentor trying to answer all of them as quickly as possible. BUT our group seems really cool. We already have some inside jokes about this kid Nico and speedos...

We have less than a month til we leave and this week we got our flight itineraries! Crazy stuff man. Well i'm off to plan a hiking trip for tomorrow :)

Hasta luego!

Nancy

p.s. At this precise moment Skippy is chewing on her leg... alien....

Bonding Over Russian Literature



Outfit Details: shirt-Forever 21, Pants-Forever 21, Sandals-ditto..., Ring-Charlotte Russe

Yesterday was a wonderfully terrific day. I went to FHE, and there I met a girl named Brittni. I had admired Brittni's adorable clothes every time I saw her, and so I ventured to say hi. And when I said hi, and told her she had the cutest clothes, she just so happened to be talking to a boy named Trevor. Now once I complimented his wonderful Sperry's, I started listening to their conversation, and we began talking about Russian Literature. Specifically, Crime and Punishment. Turns out, he wants to be an English Major... what a coincidence, I'm obsessed with literature. And Brittni and Trevor both happen to love old movies as much as I do (cary grant anyone??), and we all love cool clothes, and are pretty crazy people haha. So we hung out, and bonded all night long, which was wonderful. I think I met my soul mates ;)

And Trevor also let me take a picture of him for this lil bloggy blog, cause he dresses pretty well, I must say.

Behold:

His sperry's kill me every time

Love, Sarai

PS: I though I lost my peacock ring yesterday, and I seriously almost cried. AWFUL. Anyway, it was in my shirt...

Don't ask

Summer Lovin'

 Favorite Things About Summer So Far:

1. Lazy outfits with rockin' new shoes :)

2. Best friend vintage ring exchange with Hailey and Britta... There's a story that goes with this too! while we were shopping in Portland for our rings, we ran into AMANDA SEYFRIED!!! Crazy stuff I tell you! If you wanna know the whole story just ask. I'm too lazy right now. Just know, its the coolest thing of my life! 

This is my ring :)

3. My cousin's vineyard wedding!

4. All of the cousins and grandparents dancing together

My cousin's lovely booty shake

5. Sleep deprived mistake (aka mormon drunken mistake) at the grad party where I got a fake tattoo of a snake on my ankle without realizing that it looks ridiculous and doesn't come off for a while... 

6. Sweet notes from my closest friends

7. Best friend who's a boy staying after my grad party because I didn't want to be alone and playing with his freaking iPad!!  (i'm cherishing every moment we get because he's going to Nigeria for a year and will most likely leave while i'm in Chile *tear*)

8. Long phone call with my dear Sarai :) Our love knows no bounds!

I hope all of you are having great summers!

Hey Weirdo in the Grandma Skirt!



Outfit Details: Cardigan-Hollister :P Tank-forever 21, Skirt-thrifted, Shoes-Germany, Necklaces-Gifted/thrifted, belt-thrifted

So apparently, I'm one of two girls who own super-long skirts here at BYU. And the other girl had a maxi dress on, so I'm not sure if that counts. And I'm pretty sure my skirt was owned by a grandma before I bought it at Goodwill. Fantastic. But they dress cute here, for the most part, so it's all good. Otherwise we'd have an issue ;) Just kidding! Kinda..

Classes started today, and even though I met a cute RM in my anthro class, I'm probably stopping that before it even starts...no need to even pretend it's okay to get involved. It might work for some of you ladies, but for myself, I'm hoping I don't get married until my twenties. Eighteen is much too young for me :)

Today, I saw a girl who had the cutest outfit on. I pulled an awkward-fashion-blogger on her and asked to take her picture...luckily, she, Jamie, said yes!

The Pocketwatch necklace (I have one too!), the birdcage shirt, the black skinnies. And those shoes! you can't tell, but they're wedges actually. I'm in love with this outfit :) Thanks for letting me take your picture Jamie!

Love, Sarai
