Butterflies and school girl giggles

Have you ever met someone who can make you smile 

without even being present

Someone who treats you like an absolute princess

Who makes you feel just so beautiful and sexy

Makes you feel protected, loved, and safe from all the world

Who you can trust and confide in

 with confidence 

Even though you haven't known each other that long

you feel like you've been friends forever

and they always know just what to say 

to make the situation better

Who you can go on crazy last minute adventures with

That you can chase the day light with

 and then stare at the stars for endless amounts of hours

Who you can dance with in the kitchen

 {like a crazy freak}

wearing just your socks

Someone you can be totally goofy with

 {without any fear of judgement}

And then they pull you into their arms

Kiss you on the forehead

and slow dance 

[Hollywood dip and kiss included]     

Who's touch sends shivers through your entire body

Who can make your mind crave

 from miles and miles away

Who's just so incredibly handsome you want to show him off to everyone

 

When the mere sound of their name makes your heart flutter

And when you hear their text tone those butterflies awake and your cheeks start to ache

 {because the smile that's been constantly stretching them}

Someone who challenges your thoughts and makes you think 

Someone who tells you no

 {and can keep you in check and grounded}

Even though when you're with them you feel like your in some sort of false reality 

 When time starts to lapses 

 days disappear

and you loose all track of time  

But they can always bring you back down 

{and center you mind once again}

Someone who  

pushes you  to want to strive  to be a better person

Someone who over all is just so incredibly amazing it makes you BURST at the seams

 with joy and pure happiness 

?????????

I have.

 

... and I hope you do too.

Love Always,

Lexi 

generations past

Good morning my lovelies! 

I do realize that I have majorly been slacking on my posts

and I am truly sorry

School started back up again this week 

So things have been preee-tty crazy

On the up side though 

I am officially a resident of UTAH

{The most beautiful place ever and the home of the gorgeous movie mountains}     

Christmas break was awesome

I didn't get to see everyone I was hoping to see 

but I am so thankful for the ones that I did get to see

It's funny

Sometimes I watch the movies and the TV shows

or I see all the pictures of some of the kids I went to school with

[they all went pre-k through high school and are still "bffs" throughout college]

and I think to myself gee I wish I had a group of girl friends I've been friends with forever

BUT

Then I remember I have a best friend that is even better

We've known each other since we were 5 years old

and yes he is a boy

We don't always quite see eye to eye on every aspect of life but we accept each other for who we are.

Isn't that what real friends are supposed to do?

I know no matter what I say or do

he may laugh and tease me

but I know there is no judgement

       We don't talk every single day ... in fact sometimes we go months and even a couple years without really seeing or hearing too much from each other

{we're working on it}

But no matter how long we go without talking or how far we are away from each other 

When we get back together it's like nothing has ever even changed

and I love it

I was to thankful that I got to spend sometime with him over break

because his words of advice and opinion mean more to me than just about anyones

{excluding you mom don't worry}

I also got to go to Ohio and see my grandmother

She has been really sick so if I was to tell you I wasn't nervous about going

it would be a lie

She is doing much better now though and I'm super thankful

If you have never been to Ohio I suggest you go

because it is also a very beautiful place

One of the days my mom took my for a drive to the town were she grew up

We had pizza at the old parlor she used to go to as a kid

{it wasn't deep dish but it was pretty fricken yummy}

She showed me her high school and all the old hand out spots

it was probably one of the high lights of my entire break

Maybe it's just me but there is something about family history 

and learning about all the beautiful things 

and hearing all the stories behind different items that just really intrigues me

             

I hope you all had a great holiday break and are starting off the New Year right!

I would love to hear some of your awesome New Year plans 

[I have some pretty sweet ideas for this year]

Love Always <3

Rest in Peace Grandpa Jim <3 

 

this amazing cabin we had lunch at one day

it was literally a winter wonderland inside 

 

because my grandmother was so sick she couldn't make it to church on christmas

so my mom and i went and brought back the candles

so we could do our own candle light service at the house with her  

 

talk about heavenly

 

ohio

 

i want to find a love like this

 

another highlight of the trip

it had been far too long and was amazing 

 

Happy New Year!!! 

When One Door Closes Another Opens

Well my dearies 

It is coming to the end of my first semester of my sophomore year

It feels like it's been 10 years since I graduated high school

Looking back I feel like college is going to take foreeeeVer

>for full affect pronounce forever as done in sand lot<

but looking forward I'm afraid it is going far too fast

Next semester I have a few more gen eds 

and then on to the fun stuff

Graphic Design

{I have a lot of work to learn all these technology gadgets and what not}

Tomorrow I have

two presentations and turn in a paper

... and then packing!! ... 

I know what you're thinking.

And I will have you know that every time I go home I take only one carry on bag

[that is VERY impressive my friends]

This trip home I need to pack even lighter though

mostly because more than half of my suite case will be filled with Santa gifts

Any who I am SOOO excited to go home and see my friends

It's crazy too though

In college the start of each semester is kind of like freshman year of high school all over again

You kind of have an idea of what you're doing

but not really

You have totally new classes with all new people

Some of your friends transfer or move

All new people and professors

... I don't know maybe it's just me ...

Cedar is getting colder now

I woke up this morning at 6 am

It was dark outside still.

not just any kind of dark but straight up night time dark

I even saw a garbage truck on the way too school

that's when you know you are up far to early

Walking to my car I could smell the pines coming off the mountain

Driving to school with my lip stick stained coffee cup and jammin to some 

indy folk music

Going to take a stats exam was just about the last thing I wanted to be doing

BUT

I think I did pretty good so I'm fairly happy

I even made some new friends with the cowboys that sit in the back of the room

We studied in the library together and decided

in honor of the last day of class

We would all wear our western wear

[well they would wear their real stuff and I'de be a poser]

It was still fun

After a long day of studying and editing 

I finally got some down time

here's my snack

Orange Julius with nutella on homemade bread ... yummmmm
*Thanks for sharing Blair*

Tomorrow is our pole Holiday show

If I were to tell you I'm not nervous

I'de be fibbing

More than half of my routine is improv 

So fingers crossed that my hands don't sweat and it looks somewhat decent

                 

a few tricks i'll do in my routine

no pain no game ... you can see the pole in my bruise!

if that's not baller I don't know what is

{it's behind my knee for those of you who are stuggling}

And in honor of the cold weather

and my pinterest addiction

Who doesn't love boots sweaters and scarves?! 

Jeans: BOOM BOOM  found here Scarf: super old Urban {Similar here} Sweater: Mom's Closet [I believe it's GAP .. similar looks here or here} Boots: Juicy Couture found here {Similar here}

'Tis the season 

Good luck everyone on the rest of your finals

Love Always, 

Lexi
