I don't have anything too huge to blog about, so I'm just going to throw out random things that don't really deserve their own blog post and I'll just word vomit the crap instead.

-

I can't even remember what I blogged about last year, so I don't remember if I blogged my feelings. I've definitely put blogging (this one specifically) on the back burner because I've been busy with work and school and I just want to be the very best because I want to be on my A game for law school. So needless to say, I've been stressing myself out a lot. And that means I take a bath, eat Oreos in the bath, and cry.

I'm a dream girl, I promise.

But in all seriousness, I'm turning into *that* person we all know who is starting to not have a social life because my life revolves around homework and turning that work into crisp clean A's/good grades. I've never gotten below a 3.5 GPA and while I'm not in danger of being lower than that at the moment, I'm just in the homestretch of college (I graduate in May) and I want to be sprinting to the finish line and not be running.

I'm a teacher for probably THE coolest bunch of first graders around, and I was thinking recently to myself one night before I went to bed "Hey Lily... do you really want to go to law school or do you want to stay being a teacher for adorable kids?" and that made me think about it from every which way. I had a great class of kids last year and I didn't think I would be able to have a class that was even cuter than them, and this class is just as cute. And I have no doubt that next year's will be cute as well.

Because you know, little kids are adorable and say the best things ever.

But do I really want to go to law school? I want to stay in Utah (or close to Utah) for law school, and I'm not saying I'm a shoe in or anything because who knows what could happen, but I have the numbers to go to the school at the University of Utah. It's pretty much my frontrunner school, with one in Arizona being my "fall back" option (and I've applied to a few other out of state) so it's not like I'm going to be far away.

And I'm not going to be both a teacher and go to law school at once. I don't even think that's even close to being possible. And even though it says online that each school I applied to did in fact receive my application, I still don't have to go. And there's always a chance that I won't be accepted anywhere. I could be waitlisted for all I know. So I'm really just weighing my options here.

So this weekend (meaning yesterday) I drove all the way across the state to St George so I could have a fun bridal shoot with some other people collabing. There was a woman who had a dress for the bride, there was going to be a photographer, and I was going to do hair and makeup. About halfway into the drive down I got a call from the photographer saying that she thought it was next weekend and was therefore out of town, leaving me completely screwed.

But luckily, I was going to be in a really scenic and beautiful location, and I never pass up an opportunity to take pictures of my own in scenic locations. So I thought "Hey, why don't you play the role of Supergirl today and do hair, makeup, and take the pictures. It's a really long shot, but you're pretty rad, Lil. I think you can do this."

And I did. I did all three just like Supergirl would. And it was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The couple was really understanding and had no problems with it and the girl was really adorable and fun and cute. And super photogenic.

I drove back home this morning where I'm here, sitting on the couch and watching an old Seahawks game that I had recorded on my DVR. I'm about to end this and do some laundry because tomorrow is Monday, and thus begins the start of a new work week.

But next week I have spring break again. So THAT'S exciting!

See ya!

Break of Spring

It's nice to get out and enjoy a new change of pace once in awhile.

Yes, I'm talking about spring break. My spring break for the college I go to was on break all last week (yes, I'm only now talking about it, but do you expect anything less from me at this point?) and me and one of my friends flew from Salt Lake down to Phoenix where we spent a week in Mesa. And it was so much fun, y'all.

Too much fun.

I had this fun idea to go to every Temple that's in Arizona, and thankfully my friend agreed to partake in it. Even though he isn't even a member of the church. Talk about best friend goals.

And no.

We're just friends.

But really, we got to visit every one that's in Arizona, minus the one in Tucson. Renovation probs. But other than that, we saw all of them and I was really stoked.

Mesa.
Phoenix.
Gilbert.
Snowflake.
Gila Valley.

Each link goes to the specific site for each one.
And if you ever wonder why we build temples and what happens inside of them, click here.

It was a ton of fun. And since we all know at this point that I love ice cream and believe it to be its own food group, I downed more ice cream there than I probably have my whole entire obsession with it. Plus it's Arizona. And it's hot as heck there.

I think my favorite part was definitely going to Scottsdale and watching the San Francisco Giants play a spring training game! They were playing the Seattle Mariners and I thought that it was really fitting because I grew up in the Seattle area and would go to M's games fairly often with my family. It was fun rooting for the Giants... and seeing Hunter Pence hit a home run..... even though they lost.

Go figure!

I wanted more than anything to spam everyone on Instagram all the fun goings on, but I still kept my "one post a day" thing on there. It was tough though! So if anyone wants to see pretty Temples and a good close up of Hunter Pence, go to my Insta! The links to all my social media are up top.

Other than those things, my spring break was pretty low key. I did a lot of relaxing and being poolside. I did everything I wanted do over break so I definitely didn't hate it!

Here's to another spring break at the end of the month!
