contempo

So about a month ago I decided to enter a cafe design contest for the new Cafe going into the Fine Arts building here at USU. The contest was open to the Interior Design department, Graphic Design, and I think the Engineers department?..anyways. The contest was to come up with a floor plan allowing for about 30 seats, as well as come up with a logo and name for the cafe. I really wanted to add another project to my portfolio since I'm graduating in two months and decided I may as well give it a go. I also thought winning the prize of an Ipad 2 would be pretty sweet too. Well, I found out that I didn't win, but I did take runner-up. I have to say I was a little disappointed that I was that close to winning, but I guess it's something right? And maybe I didn't win the Ipad, but I did win a meal plan on campus. Haha...guess I'll find someone to give that too..
I thought I'd share a few pictures though of my runner-up project :)

my favorite addition to the space...look how sweet these chairs are

In a Nutshell

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day hanging out with this cute 4 year old. This girl has more personality and sass than any four year old I've met. Usually she gives me a run for my money, but since I've moved in with her family I become one of her best friends (on a good day). Yesterday just so happened to be one of those days.
After preschool me and Avery spent the next couple of hours baking some delicious Reese's peanut butter cupcakes..and yes for all who are wondering they taste just as good as they look.

I wish I could say this was a picture of the one's we made...but just pretend they are. Ours looked similar. Notice the Reese's inside the cupcake. Yes. Yum. After cooking we watched a favorite movie of mine...


Life really couldn't have gotten any better at that point...but it definitely could get worst. Little did I know that in just a few short hours I would be receiving my first speeding ticket. It was bound to happen at some point, for those that know me know that I usually do speed. I'm not proud to say that usually I'm very aware of my actions. Well...yesterday the time I ACTUALLY do get pulled over speeding, I hadn't even realized I was speeding until it was too late. Lame. That was mostly because I was distracted by my mother who happened to be talking to my on the phone...hence why this is really how I felt yesterday.

I love this boy

I am such a proud sister...I have to post these pictures. My brother is adorable. For all who have forgotten he is serving in L.A.
I have been lucky enough to be online the past two Monday's when I've gotten his email and was able to email him back and forth for awhile. He is so amazing. Honestly, I'm not sure I love any boy more than I love him. He has the biggest heart, I will be lucky if I will ever be able to love people the way that he so naturally does. The first few months of his mission have been hard because he had no, yes ZERO investigators for weeks, months, on end. Finally after all the hard work and patience. He is now working with the family in the above picture as well as some other lucky investigators. Sometimes I wish he wasn't out on a mission for my own selfish reasons of wanting my best friend back home to hang out with and have our awesome sleepover parties together. I know he is where he should be though, and couldn't be a more proud sister.
