school supplies

i'll be the first one to tell you that i'm really happy to not be starting school in just 3 short weeks. i will say, however, that i'll miss buying school supplies. that was always my favorite part, regardless of how much my books cost or whatever. if that makes me crazy, so be it.

the other day, sarah and i were talking about shopping for school supplies, since emery is getting ready to start kindergarten. when i was little, i always wanted the big box of crayons. you know the one. the one with the built in sharpener in the back. i got it maybe one time (it's okay, mom. i understand) and that was a happy year. those extra 16 crayons made all the difference.

today i met sarah in bountiful so she could borrow some of my books. she said there might be a treat involved. she was not kidding! she brought me this:

64 delicious colors of waxy goodness. i couldn't be happier :D

happies

1. alex stayner finally joined facebook!!! i know that means little to nothing to most of my readers. (do i still have readers? {chirp, chirp} that's what i thought). he's been holding out on us for about a year now, and quite possibly longer. my jaw hit my desk when i saw my friend invite from him. i don't know who jamie schram is, but he is now my hero. (he's apparently the one that got alex to cave on the facebook thing)

2. matt moses committed to movie night!!! this is the first time in the history of matt moses friend-dom that matt has committed to host an event that he did not in fact plan. it's a big day. we threatened to just show up at his house tomorrow night and wait for him to come home and let us in. for once our idle threats worked!! movie night tomorrow at matt's house :) yay!! (although i must say that i don't believe that our threats were actually idle. after walking into the frat house to wait for someone to come find us in the living room because no one answered the door, i can actually believe that we would sit on matt's doorstep until 1. he came home or 2. the neighbors told us to leave.)

3. girls night with julia and debbie. i hate it how married friends drop off the face of the earth. i'm glad that we've been able to successfully drag debbie back from over the edge periodically. good times at buca :)

4. the best ever recipe for molten chocolate lava cake. to. die. for. very bad for you, but very like an expensive restaurant dessert. you can thank/curse me later. i'll understand either way.

5. it's friday and i'm going hiking with jules tomorrow :)
