This is Grandma Bohn

This is from the weekend I spent in St. George a little over a year ago with some of my favorite people

She makes the most delicious chocolate pillows

and the best snugglers

she gave me my first sewing machine

and has the most AMAZING spoon collection

and a pretty rocking button collection

Many of my summers growing up were spent eating golden nugget bars at her house

and pulling weeds in front of her house
and just spending time with my grandma

We just found out this week that the mass in her lungs is cancer
the rare and agressive kind
that grows and spreads quickly


She is having surgery tomorrow to remove it


please join me in sending prayers her way
in the hopes that they will get it all out and there will be no complications

I am a little obsessed these days

Mostly with 1:25 to 3:45
but the rest is great as well

Seriously I have listened to it at least 4 times a day for the past couple of weeks

One time I cut blunt bangs.

This was a VERY big change for me and a very scary one

And then I loved them and never wanted to go back

but then I decided I needed to grow out my bangs, I needed to go back

that was about a month ago maybe

Then a lot of things happened on tuesday

(like me waking up late, spilling eyeshadow EVERYWHERE, and my nasty growing out bangs not cooperating–at all)

and I got frustrated and I had had enough

and I cut them back

I had missed them, and it felt like the right thing to do

(or maybe the only thing I had any control over at the time...)

and I cut them too short

and lopsided

what a hassle

(yes that is a Henna tattoo on my hand)

Thank you to my roommate Liz for not being supportive of me during this difficult time

and comparing me to a former drug addict reverting back to my old ways because I was stressed

This will probably not be surprising to most of you, but I LOVE music. So much.

I love to go to concerts and used to go to concerts all the time.

But I kind of stopped. And then something happened.

My friend Mills was on campus one day, just minding her own business

when she was approached by a man

who said something about how he knew this was weird, but he wasn't creepy, and he had 2 extra tickets to the Rooney concert. that night. Did she want to go?

Of course she said yes–as any sane person would–and started looking for another friend to join her on this adventure

Luckily I was close enough to the top of the list, and none of the people ahead of me could go.

So yes, I got to see Rooney (who I have loved ever since I found out this man was the lead singer so many years ago) in concert, for free.

It was AMAZING

They played at Kilby Court, which is essentially a shed in someones backyard. Super small. We weren't right in the front, but at Kilby you don't have to be in the front to have a good spot.
Also, Eisley opened for them, and turns out I really really like them as well. Fate.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Rooney

The man on the left is their new bass player and he was so precious. and real good on the bass.

Totally feeling it

This was a man standing next to us that was probably in his 40s and was there by himself and totally loving Rooney. He also had ear plugs in and would take them out to sing along to certain songs.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the boys we went with were not weird and it actually turned out to be a fun evening. Turns out one of the guys is friends with a friend of mine from high school so we met up with her after the concert. All in all, it was a very successful evening.

I lied, I know nothing about being an art student

this is subject to change at any moment

and then change back again

yikes

As I was telling my roommate Emily yesterday

I FINALLY have figured out how to be an art student

It was hard and time consuming to figure it out, but I think I finally got it

I mostly understand what my teachers are asking for

and I am able to make up what I don't understand

It is a really great feeling

pictures of my super awesome projects to come

I have never wanted to buy a wedding dress as badly as I did when I saw THIS beauty

please disregard the fact that it is $2,600

I will definitely be drawing from that site for inspiration when I do start planning my wedding

(which is not going to be for a VERY long time)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am probably going to have an internship this summer

at the HBLL

which will help jumpstart my career as a librarian

what's that, you didn't know I wanted to be a librarian?

surprise!

and I am supposed to take the GRE this summer, so I can get into school to be a librarian

who even wants to get a masters anyway?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I went to the cotton shop yesterday

thanks to my mom I could live in a fabric store

and never want to leave

especially if I had unlimited funds

I got some REALLY cute material for some presents I am planning on making

and some awesome green jewel things for super hot earrings

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am REALLY REALLY loving this band and especially this song right now...

REALLY loving this song right now
