Day Dreamin'

Graduation is 13 days away.

CAN IT PLEASE COME FASTER???

Is it bad that I cannot wait to get out of high-school? 

I feel like this heartless person when I don't even get a little sad about graduating!

Don't get me wrong...

I learned A LOT in high school, 

and I am SOO grateful that i learned some of the lessons I did.

I started dating my amazing missionary my junior year and became best friends with court.

BUT I am SOOOOO ready to be done. :)

Nordy's half yearly sale is on and I am dying. 

Where is my paycheck??

Sugar scrub is my secret weapon to soft skin. I don't have skin that absorbs lotion very well..

and it is the most annoying thing ever! 

I still end up with dry hands, no matter how moisturizing the lotion is. (A curse from my dad)

One time I slept with cetaphil intense moisturizing lotion on my hands with gloves over it to really lock in the moisture and it didn't help at all! grrrr....

So I finally tried a sugar scrub. 

AND I am obsessed. 

I also love peppermint anything and everything, so here is a yummy DIY for this saturday!

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 cup sugar

15 peppermint candies

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

Blend with a food processor or high powered blender and store in jars when done. :) 

5. Apple Cranberry Walnut Salad

My latest weakness is salad! I LOVE salad.

 So I am excited it is Memorial day weekend, because my cute Aunt Heather makes the most delicious salads for our family bbq.

This dress looks so Tory Burch to me. 

(and it is on sale!!!) 

8. My Home Muse

I just love looking at pictures of cute little houses and apartments. 

So excited to one day decorate a place for me and my hubby. :) 

latest obsession is white and bright anything. 

Love this bathroom!

(Daydreaming of sink like this one.. someday)

These tiles are to die for. SO cute. 

Hope everyone has wonderful memorial day weekend!

Your heart is in mine!

So my sweet Nana has been having a really tough week. And anyone that knows me, knows that when I see someone sad, I try my hardest to make them feel better. 

And anybody who knows me super well, also knows that my nana and I are SO close. My nana always tells me that I was meant to be her daughter haha

She has the biggest heart and is always there at every dance performance, graduation, talk in church, or show I have ever done. Not to mention, she has helped me get ready for every school dance I have ever gone to. 

When I was little and would be upset at my parents, I would pack my hot pink (Winnie the Pooh) suitcase and start walking to Nana's house! Haha 

When I had seen this necklace at my work, I knew immediately that my nana would love it. She truly will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope to one day be half the Nana she is. 

The designer of this necklace is Ashley Bennett Stoddard. She is based out of Eden, and hand makes every single item she makes. Cool huh??

Necklace available at Chic Style

I owe my shoe addiction to her. I mean look at how cute her shoes are!! 

This dance was my very first date with Nate. My Nana told me in her cute little British accent, "that boy is very handsome." She was so right! 

And she is just so little and cute and I am the luckiest to call her my Betty-Nana. I don't know of a lot of people that read my blog, but I know that she has read every single one of my blog posts and is always checking on my blog to see if I have done something new with it. 

She also has just been there for me through everything. The night that Nate was set apart, she came up to his house and she sat next to me and held my hand the entire time. I can't put into words how much that meant to me. The night I had to say goodbye my sweet best friend was and still is one the hardest nights I have ever experienced. Having such a loving and supportive family has meant the world to me. 

Thank you, Nana for the love and support you have given me and the rest of your family. Thank you for showing me through your actions that family is so important. Memories of family dinner at Nana's and Papa's are ones that I hold dear to my heart. 

I love you my sweet Betty-Nana! Your heart is forever in mine!
