I live with crazies.

Lachelle aka: Lush. She is cool because she cleans our room when she doesn't have work. Yesterday she even dusted.

 

Tay aka: Nugget. She is cool because once she made me chicken spinach quesadillas and let me pull out all the spinach.

Shelby aka: Delbs. She is cool because she likes my legs. "Your legs are big, but they don't touch so it makes them look small. I LOVE that."

Taylor writes everyone cute notes, except for me and Lush. Shelby also writes everyone cute notes, except for me and Lush. Lush and I don't ever get cute notes from anyone. That's okay though, we enjoy being the co-presidents of the "cute notes are for losers" club.

Taylor: "Rik, can I borrow a shirt?"

Me: "Ya sure, try this one."

Taylor: "I can't wear that, I have broad shoulders, like a man."

Me: "Good thing I bought it from the man section"

Taylor: "It won't fit my shoulders, they're like guy shoulders."

Me: "Tay, it's a guy shirt."

Taylor: "But I have guy shoulders!"

???????

She never did wear my shirt...

Sure do love me some roommates. 

Sure...I'll share.

Sup peeps! I found some goodies via internet and I just want to share the love with you.

This is a knock-off J. Crew Bubble necklace. Get this! It's $150 at J. Crew, $50.00 orginally, purchased by yours truly for $24.99. Whoa baby! I got the yellow for me, and bought the light pink one for my cute lil' momma. Want it? Go to ksldeals.com, click on clothing, and viola! This little cutie will show up for you to purchase. But do it fast. The 52% off deal will only last about as long as Kim Kardashians wedding did, probably shorter actually. 

This bow!!! I wanted to buy one in every color but had to refrain and stick with just 2. One in mint, and one in lemon. I can't wait to stick it in my uncombed, undone, going-on-a-heat-fast hair. Best part...it's only $4.00 and you get 20% for the next few days using the promo code "bowbowbow". Wanna be twinners? Cool. Go to etsy.com and type thebellewhistle into the search bar. You'll be in bow heaven.



This is my favorite purchase of the week! Seriously dudes...go to the website society6.com and you will spend your afternoon browsing your life away. They have a million and one prints and you can turn most of them into iphone cases. I had the hardest time deciding which one to get...no lie, I fell in love with 50 of them. But this giraffe (my fav animal since basically birth) is the ultimate, don't you think?? Go look. I promise you won't be disappointed. 

Dang Rik. You should probably go do summer sales for Vivint. Your killer salesperson skills would make you millions.

Super powers and such and such.

B has a super power. He can change his mood from a bad one to a good one in a matter of 5 seconds. I'm not kidding. It's amazing. Like this one time. He got an email that was the bearer of some bad bad news. News that would make me depressed for a solid 3 weeks. We sat in the living room. I tried to offer him words of comfort. Of course he smiled and said it was "all good", but he was sad. I could tell. I told him to hold on a sec while I went to my room and changed into some comfy cozy's. My plan was to cuddle all his worries right out the window! When I went back into the living room B came up to me, put his hands on both my shoulders, and told me to hold on for one second. He walked out the door. Shut it behind him. Left me standing there like a fool for a few moments. Knocked on the door. I confusingly opened it. And there was B. Happy as ever. "Hey RIK! It's so good to see you! Wanna hangout with me tonight?"

And that was that. We smiled and laughed the night away. Mr. Bad-Email ain't got nothin' on my happy man.

Cooooool story Rik.
Thanks.
Moving on...

I don't have that super power. Not at all. If I'm in a bad mood...I'm in a bad mood. Ain't no switch inside me that instantly releases the singing birds and rainbows. Dang it. Yesterday was one of those bad mood days. No bueno! Poor boyfriend has to deal with my moody, quiet, and rare smiling self until a few decades pass by. So...he took things into his own hands. After painting his room (betcha can't wait for that post, eh?), he brought me downstairs where he had decorated his basement with candles, and a loving note to cheer me up. He sat me down on the couch right next to him and read me poems from the oldest poem book known to man.

I think it was the candles. And the flashlight he used to spotlight my note. And the super dumb poems we read. But he sure turned my day and night right around.

(Sorry...this is the only pic I took of the night)

We might have started to kiss a little bit. And his brother might have walked in as soon as the kisses started to fly. And it might have looked a little sketchy kissing with lit candles all around us. But I'm not ashamed...we lasted a whole 7 months without anyone walking in on us. So, I'll consider this a success.

"If no one has walked in on you guys yet, you're not kissing enough!"

-Lil' brother Sanford

We're jeeping fools, ya know?

My dad is a jeep fanatic. Seriously. Fanatic is probably an understatement. No family needs 3 jeeps. No family but mine, of course.  So naturally my dad picks Moab as his vaca of choice to celebrate his dad day. So a bunch of my friendy friends drove down to Moab with me to celebrate Dave's day. We had so much fun. We sang and danced in the car 100 miles past our destination. Don't ask me how we managed to do that, but boyfriend was not super thrilled at 1 in the a.m. when I told him we were 100 miles past Moab. OOHHHHH Colorado...you were a lovely surprise to our little trip.

Jeeping is one of my favorite things to do. It's even funner with peeps you love and a group of 12 jeeps. Thanks Chief Dave for the best celebration of Spring Semester being over and Father's Day. I love you so much!!

Also, a big thank you to Little Miss May for letting me use her sunscreen. I was highly anticipating the muchly needed tan I would have from being in the sun. However, her SPF 10000000000 sunscreen prevented any sun...whatsoever. I think I came home whiter than when I left. 

But how could you be mad at that face?! She's the cutest baby alive. So glad this lil' nugget came with us. We're breaking her into Jeeping real quick.

A decade plus another one.

That's right. Two decades together equals twenty years. TWENTY! Hot dang. I'm a twenty year old.  I had a really cool birthday too. Started off with a 12:00 birthday song sung by the boyfriend [who never sings and has the voice of an angel :)] while a virtual cupcake danced on his computer screen. A 6 am wake-up from my 3 friendies who snapped lots of pics of me in all my morning glory, made me dress up in old dance costumes, and took me to Kneaders. Lots of presents from the best little sister ever.  Lush and I laid in bed and sang songs at the top of our lungs until we decided to get up for the day and wax off our upper lip hair (random...I know, but it hurt like a mother, and I highly do NOT recommend it).  Went to school..BOOOOO, but left early to go get sushi with my Padre. He's the best. Rode down the canyon on longboards with boyfriend and went for a hike to this sweet little waterfall. At the end of our ride, he gave me a clue, left me all alone, and sent me on a scavenger hunt. After driving all around Provo, I ended up at his house where he gave me my present, showered me with hugs and kisses and about a million "happy birthday's". Then we ventured over to my house where Lush and the fam planned a BBQ with all the amigos. We tramp jumped, rode around in a mini bus, laugh and chitchatted, went to go get snowcones (but they were closed), and somehow, in all the madness, I ended up at Blake's house with him all to myself. We probably watched a movie. I don't remember. We probably made-out too. It was my birthday, so we basically had to. All-in-all....it was the best 20th birthday I have ever had.

B made me this key chain...equip with pennies from the year I was born and the year he was born. Such a creative boy I'm dating. AND this Herschel backpack that I've been wanting for forever. Dang it makes me looks good at school. It really does...it truly truly does.

 

Here's a video you can watch, if you feel so inclined too. But please, ignore the zits that are lovin my face these days. I'm hoping that now that I'm 20, they'll realize how old and mature I am and decide to go bug some little girl in Jr. High or something. I wouldn't even feel bad...we all had to deal with it back in those days. 

Winner...

Lets be honest...I'm not sure how I feel about what I'm about to post. I mean...blogs about love [cute love, to be exact] have always been my favorite kind of blogs to read. I love getting that "oh my gosh! They're the cutest couple in the entire universe!!" type of feeling while stalking other peeps. It's a kind of jealousy/so-happy-for-them type of emotion. I like it. BUT I've never been one to post those kinds of posts...just one who reads them. So ladies and ladies (I doubt there are gents reading this blog...), here's my attempt to blog a cute, lovey dovey post about how freaking awesome my love life is. Pharell...it rocks. Let me tell you.

See this handsome boy...

Yup....dating that.

I'm fully aware that he's the most handsome boy you've ever laid eyes on. He's really cool too. The other night I feel asleep while hanging out with him (it happens all the time...I'm basically a dead man walking after 10:00 pm every night), and I woke up the next morning to this hideous picture as the background on my phone. 

I was pretty mortified. One, because I look like a freak. Two, because he has to look at that freak sleep.... every. single. night. Yowza!!! That's rough. It's also rough that he set that picture as my Caller ID pic on his phone. I should avoid calling him so much so he can't see that picture pop up on his phone every time I call him....but I don't. Anyways....I also woke up to this...

A giant sized note on my floor and little other notes covering my bathroom. What a cutie. I seriously have a big black binder where I put all the notes he leaves me. I'm not kidding...I get them all the time. On my mirror, my car, my notebooks, my laptop, you name it...he's left me a note there. I even wake up and have graffiti on my body sometimes. Funny kid. aaaaand creative, don't you think? Get this! Once he didn't have work on a Friday night, and decided to plan a sweet date night. We went to dinner, Wal-mart to pick out my favorite treats, a drive-in movie to watch Avengers (truck equip with a million blankets and pillows), and then a nice drive home with me sleeping on him and listening to our favorite songs. 

I thought the night was over, but it totally was not. He said he had one more surprise for me. So he made me close my eyes, grabbed my hand, and led me to his back yard. When he said I could open my eyes, this is what I saw...

He had spent all day making a sweet fort for us. I seriously acted like a little girl. I LOVED IT! We spent the rest of our date laying in our fort reading B's favorite childhood picture books, laughing, talking, and telling stories. It seriously was one of the best nights. He's such a keeper killas!!

Anyways...did I do it?! Did you get that "oh my gosh! They're the cutest couple ever" feeling? I hope so cause there's probably some more of these lovey dovey posts coming your way and I don't want to scare you off...
