today feels like*

Magic and Stuff

Quick, get all the Christmas in you can!

Before I ditch the cold weath, I wanna make sure i do all the wonderful things that winter in Utah brings. 

This includes:

Green Waffles

Temple Square

Skiing

Sledding

Snow man making

I've gotten a few done, but snow man making might not happen, as the snow is just teasing us. jerk.

but we went to temple square yesterday and that was quite magical

I forget how lucky i am to live so near this. It truly is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen. And not just because of the outward loveliness, but because of what it symbolizes. From the people that gave so much to build it, to the promises made within it; there's nothing else on earth like a temple.

Passing by a little boy we heard him tell his mom "I wanna go inside the castle!"

Me too.

cold solutions

have you seen this blog yet? they accept submission for sweatshirt print ideas. 

They don't make them yet, but it's still fun to browse and see all the unique ideas for sweaters

in a perfect world, winter would be spent souly in beauts like these

Sexy-Sweaters

 here are some more recent faves:

one of those songs i could listen to on repeat all day and it'd never get old

I've been loving this band for a while, and they've recently preview a few of their new songs due out in Feb. way too long for me to wait. 

I've never heard anything like his voice

it used to be suziekabuzie919@hotmail.com
then sfluke@live.com
then i had to update to boring name@gmail account.
so sad

This fills my heart with joy.

did you read every comic ever made by Bill Watterson when you were little?

Cause le Fluckigers did

Sunday afternoon, after the Sunday funnies were devoured, you could find us either out in a hammock or sprawled by the fire, laughing out loud at each strip, shoving it under each others noses. And even though we'd probably already read that one five times, we'd laugh together anyways. 

A Star Wars version would do rather well in our fam as well

I'm also greatly enjoying this at the moment:

Look her up on Spotify, her album "Red" features both Kid Cudi and Blake Shelton. 

Can you say versatile?

Yet another honest voice I've got suck on repeat<3

I agree to it all.

 and I'd like to add listen to your favorite music at night in your car

and maybe yell a lil

When I close my eyes this is literally what i see. Wayyyyyyy too much tetris lately. But it's been the only thing that's kept me sane through these past few weeks. Teach's are loading it on! Between papers and presentations it's nice to have a quick moment to crush some unsuspecting fool in my most favorite thing of the moment:

BATTLE TETRIS

think you can beat me?

totally right?

 Nate = Young Ryan Gosling

Granted, Gosling does look a lil weird here..

Hahah i'm not letting this one go, guys. 

Maybe Maybe?

Bahaha, I'm convinced!

Undeniably gorgeous

This is the background on my comp right now. The Edinburgh Castle. Just imagine. I'm going to be there in a few short months. If the opportunity and excitement hadn't sold me already, the beauty would have. Breathtaking.

 The internship prep course is still keeping my hopping. Next on the to-do list, besides a massive report, is getting my visa, a very expensive endeavor, did cha know? Up to $1,000 all together:(  I've got faith the money will all work out somehow. But I won't say no if you wanna make a donation to the charity of Snooze? Just shoot me a check ;)

hahaha. butserioulsythough

Happy Happy!

in BEST news, guess what?

F I N A L L Y, after a year of us all waiting while they took their time about it, the lovely Kevin Fluckiger and Braylin Bayless are ENGAGED!!
<3
In case you don't know Kev, he is a smarty pants, studying Pre-med at USU. He served his mish in Canada, and shreds at the drums. (can you shred at the drums? idk. that's just how I'd describe it.) He might be the nicest person I've ever met.
In case you don't know Bray, she is a complete sweetheart, studying Vocal Performance at USU. She has a voice of an angle which intimidates me when she sits next to me in church;) She's from North Carolina and I've actually never met her family, but I know they're wonderful. She has the most gorgeous curly hair that you will be jealous of. Guarantee it.


They met last year at a FHE activity (I know, so nerdy right? ) Braylin was dared to go sit alone and see how long it took a guy to attack her. It took Kevin something like 8 seconds?
Even though we all make fun of him about that, his eagerness payed off, eh?

My brother! Gettin' married! Are there any other more wonderful things in the world? I submit that there are not. It took WEEKS for Kev to get the ring, and I may have bugged him with my insistent calls for updates haha. But It finally came together.

 I am truly so happy for them, and know they are simply perfect for one another. They are thinking March for the wedding, but haven't decided on what temple yet. Possibly DC? We'll let y'all know:)

The proposal entailed roses and snow and surprises and sneakiness, call them for the full story, i don't wanna steal their thunder haha. 

I am so proud of my older brother:) he's got himself a darling of a girl.

Here they are!

 

I like them <3

a vrrrrrry good idea

via soul pancake

so that's how you do it...

um...insanity

no offense

it's a real thing guys!

11.9.11

This^^^is what i feel like when I listen to dubstep while i run.

It's a good feeling

SOME RECAPS

Hawaii is in approximately 55 days! i've started a trip playlist on Spotify. It has two songs. haha let me know if you have any contributions!

I've consumed enough Pumpkin Spice Red Mango to have my blood turn to froyo. I'm ok with this

Big happenin's are in the works regarding marriage and my family. i'm not at liberty to discuss anymore

Park City has earned itself a special place in my heart <3 gorgeous.

EUROPEAN INTERNSHIP! Consider this my official declaration of accepting the opportunity. After much deliberation, yelling, and prayer, I've decided: I'm going to Scotland!

I've gotten to the point of ridiculousness with putting gas in my car. I try to put the tiniest amounts in at a time, just in case I find a better deal somewhere else. At one point I had to stop twice in one day. My life is a joke

My friends are starting to get back from their missions!! Can't even believe it's been that long. I've missed them

Being Ward Choir Director is the best thing. When the choir does bad, everyone blames the kids singing. When they do good, everyone congratulates me. Score:)

I've become a frequenter of the writing lab. Incredible untapped resource

If we use the word "appointment" to mean a scheduled meeting, how on earth did we come up with disappointment?

For the first time I can remember, Utah is actually giving us a fall. The best may have passed, but I've loved every bit of it.

That being said, time to get your cold weather boyfriend!! Do you have yours yet?

Stay Fly My Frens

if you know me you know this

a world away

Went to PC for friday night, got snowed in and woke up to this dream:) can't wait for all our snow!

Adventure: That night we snuck into the Marriot Hotel hot tub, which is pretty great btw, waterfalls and stuff, so plush. but apparently we weren't sneaky enough and had a cop come kick us out, threatening to arrest us!  he didn't, someone in our group knew him and smooth talked us out. 

haha lucky

Google

Want some Google fun? Go to the home page and type "do a barrel roll"

Fun right? now try "why" and see what it completes too. nice right?

here's a not so nice one type "romney can win" and see what it auto corrects to

Regardless of what they may or may not be promoting, Google is pretty great. I wouldn't understand a lot of what Nate writes me if it weren't for Google Translate. And where would we be without Google Earth? If you look up my house you'll see my brother out mowing the lawn haha.

What have you discovered?

herro

but of course!

melt

solid. if Rumi has a melt then i'm fur sure doing it. 

been debating this hair color change for a while. finally set an appointment for 2mrrow. 

maybe i'll put up some pics, if it looks good that is...:)
