If you've been a follower of my blog you know my love of this holiday. While the people I know only like it for free Chick-Fil-A, I personally like to take Cow Appreciation Day to really appreciate cows.
I get teased that cows are my favorite animal, but do you realize how smart, cute, and helpful they are? Cows are so underrated and unappreciated and it's sad because they truly are incredible animals.
So happy Cow Appreciation Day to all my blog followers! I hope you have a wonderful day!
(If you're worried about me skipping out on Happy Tuesday this week, calm down, it's on my Tumblr blog for today and you can check it out HERE.)

I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP!!!
I don't know if ya'll recall last January when I told you my laptop broke. Well, it's been a whole year, but guess who finally has a new laptop?!?
I'm freaking out with excitement!! Hopefully this means more blog posts right? Because I no longer have to compete with Chris for computer time or feel judged when he's sitting there staring at me waiting for his turn. This laptop is all mine!
It's a Lenovo Yoga something. It's little and folds back to also be a tablet, which is exciting. I've never had a laptop this little before so it's taking a little getting used to, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. And if I want a bigger keyboard or screen I can just use Chris's.
So I don't have a real post today, I'm just informing you that I have a laptop of my own now, so posts may start coming back around here (it's been a while, sadly). To celebrate my new laptop, here is my absolute favorite video, which perfectly goes with the title of my blog. Enjoy!

Cows Vs Remote Control Car
So I know I've been the worst blogger this summer and I'm sorry. I really am. Even more sorry because this isn't even a real blog post. But please enjoy this awesome video of cows chasing a car.

HAPPY COW APPRECIATION DAY!!!
Naming my blog after cows was no accident, I honestly, wholeheartedly, 100% think cows are amazing and they are my favorite animal. They are so cute and fat and kind and honestly helpful to people (ice cream anyone?). So every year Cow Appreciation Day isn't a joke to me, it's for real one of my most favorite holidays.
I always wear black and white, wear my cow necklace and earrings (but not the earrings this year because they are breaking and since for work I'm on the phone all day I didn't want them to break more), Chris and I always have milkshakes and we try to visit cows and take pictures with them.
This year I worked most the day, Chris works late, and we're picking up my family from the airport tonight (cannot fully explain my excitement about that) so we don't get to visit cows this year. And I'm sad because while I don't always love living in Logan, I'm able to see cows more frequently because they are close and always around. I have yet to see any cows in Texas, at least nearby. I see a lot of horses. Our apartment complex is across the street from a horse race track. Too bad there aren't cow races there too.
Despite not getting to celebrate the way I want to (I don't even have my cow footie pajamas here with me!) Chris, of course, tried to make it special for me. As I was sitting at work making phone calls the salesman started coming in one by one and each would look at me and say "Happy Cow Appreciation Day!" It was both super embarrassing and sweet.
I honestly love Cow Appreciation Day and one of the main reasons is because of Chris. He lets me act like a child and drive around searching for cows, he dresses in black and white with me, he humors my childish glee when I take pictures with cows and start cuddling with my cow pillow-pet Ty. Seriously, I married the greatest man in the world who lets me celebrate Cow Appreciation Day every year without thinking I'm a weirdo. BEST HUSBAND EVER!!
I hope you all are having a wonderful Cow Appreciation Day. Don't forget to have a milkshake to appreciate the wonderful gift of milk that cows provide for us. Or if you want to be mean have a steak as long as you appreciate the cow that sacrificed his cute and precious life for you to eat something delicious (I totally have the mindset of a vegetarian but not the willpower). Also if you dress like a cow, Chick-Fil-A might give you a free meal! I'm honestly so upset I didn't bring my footie pajamas to Texas...

Why I'm Pumped for July!
It's July!! Yay!! I typically say that May is my favorite month but I think July is a close second, but the Christmas season and my birthday are other favorites. Anyways July is always such a great month and here's why I'm so excited!!
-Independence Day. This is honestly one of my favorite holidays. Call me crazy or pathetic if you want but every Forth of July during a good firework show listening to the great songs about our country I tend to tear up, because I truly love being an American! I love this incredible nation I get to call home and I love being able to celebrate it! I don't know yet what we're doing and I'm super upset I have to work most the day, but I'm still excited nonetheless. And I bought a really awesome outfit for that day.
-Cow Appreciation Day. If you know me and/or this blog, you know I love cows. I love celebrating Cow Appreciation Day and am so happy to have a husband who allows me to celebrate it without thinking I'm a weirdo. Ha ha. This year Cow Appreciation Day lands on July 11th, and I still think it's weird it's a different day every year. Anyways, every year I dress in black and white, wear my cow necklace and earrings, eat ice cream (to appreciate the great product cows help produce), and take pictures with cows. This year I might not get to see cows though. I don't know where to find them here and Chris and I both work most the day, so I won't even see Chris. :( Also, if you dress up like a cow then you can go to Chick-Fil-A and get a free meal! I would wear my footie pajamas and my cow hat but I think both are in our storage unit in Logan. Bummer.
-My Family is Coming!!!! Much more importantly, on Cow Appreciation Day my mom, sister, brother, and grandma are flying to Texas to visit me!! I'm so insanely excited to see them!! My family is really close and I typically see them a lot so living in Texas is kind of difficult being so far away from them. But they wanted to come see me and we're going to Sea World, visiting the River Walk and finding lots of other fun things to do. I'm super excited and cannot wait!!!
-Pioneer Day. Texas doesn't celebrate Pioneer Day, but for the longest time Pioneer Day was my favorite holiday! I spent it every year sleeping on the side of the road downtown SLC to save our spot for the parade with my best friend, Lauren, and her family. It was the absolute greatest!! Even when I wasn't with Lauren there were at least still firework shows. But Texas won't have fireworks on Pioneer Day and I'm sad. Maybe we'll have to buy some and have our own firework show!! And Lauren, next Pioneer Day we totally need to do something together!
-In Laws Coming!!! My in-laws are coming to Texas as well!! But my husband doesn't tell me anything so I don't actually know when. Ha. So my brother-in-law Sheldon was actually supposed to be here the whole summer working with Chris selling pest control, but he had to stay in Idaho for school so he's not coming until the end of this month. Chris is both really upset Sheldon didn't come sooner, but also super excited for him to be coming later. We miss him. We also miss my in-laws and they are coming to visit! It'll be a good month having both sides of the family coming to visit us! We'll have to do lots of fun things!
-Summer Fun. I think the reason July is my second favorite month is because it's when it officially feels like summer, and summer is the greatest!! Also at the end of July my family always goes on our annual trip to Jackson Hole and it's the greatest! This year we don't get to go to Jackson Hole, which is something I've done with my family every summer for as long as I can remember. It'll be really weird not going and Chris and I are both really upset we can't go, but we're going to make sure next year in Jackson will be the best year ever!!
...So now that I think about it, technically maybe I should not be so pumped for this July. I mean, I'm working Independence Day and Cow Appreciation Day, I know after seeing my family for a weekend I'll only miss them more once they leave, Pioneer Day doesn't exist here, and I don't get to go to Jackson Hole... Yeah...Maybe this July actually will be horrible.
Regardless, I am excited for this new month and all the excitement it will surely bring! This is our last full month in Texas! What?!?! I'll be excited in August when we get to go back home, for sure! We won't be leaving till the end of August, right before school starts, but I'm already missing Utah, even though I love the warmth and having a pool. Texas is fun but I think I'm more of a Utah girl. We'll see though...
What fun things are you doing in July? Let me know it the comments below!

April Review
Isn't that the cutest little chick? He's on there for two reasons: Easter and the fact that I went to Baby Animal Days. Good times.
So for the first time this year, my Monthly Review post will (hopefully) be more exciting. I'm actually going to write about what happened this month! Shocker for something called a "Monthly Review". Unlike my lengthy reviews last year, I'm keeping things short and sweet and labeling all events by the date they happened. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you like the new outline of my monthly review! And be sure to stick around till the end to see how well I did on my New Year Resolutions this month!
1st: I watched the finale of How I Met Your Mother and was truly disappointed. You can read all about that HERE. I also just had an incredibly emotional day and I can't even fully describe how awful the first day of April was. And that's no April Fools Day joke.
5th: Chris and I visited Baby Animal Days!!! You can read about it HERE. I GOT TO PET A COW!!!! It was such a fun event and I hope we can go back every year!!
7th: Happy Birthday to my friend Lauren!!! On this day I began really freaking out about our move to Texas. There was only four weeks left and so much left to do! I was feeling completely overwhelmed!!
10th: I donated plasma for my second time. You can read about my first, disastrous time, HERE. This time was a bit better. I tweeted through the whole experience. I still got lightheaded and they had to bring me juice and crackers, but I made it through okay.
12th: I donated plasma again and I didn't get lightheaded or dizzy or pass out or anything!! I did great! The guy who helped me earlier that week brought be juice and crackers before they even put the needle in me. And anytime he passed me he would make sure I was doing alright. It was nice. Because of my two plasma donations that week I was finally able to buy groceries! Yay! Now we have food in the house and we hope it lasts us until our move.
13th: There has been a duck living right by our front door just sitting on some eggs. On the 13th the eggs were hatched and we got to see three little ducklings! Even though ducks scare me, these little ducks are really cute. But I'm still paranoid about them living right outside my door. (PS, they were gone the next day and have never come back, only leave pieces of egg shells and tons of feathers.)
14th: I had an idea. An ingenious idea that has the potential to change my whole life.... but I'm not yet ready to share it yet. You'll have to wait a bit longer.
15th: I am not doing a Monthly Favorites post this month so I'm adding a few things on here. And on this day I wrote the most popular post of the month: 10 Weird Things About Me.
19th: We went to the aquarium and OH MY GOSH I'M IN LOVE!!! I have always been obsessed with aquariums and zoos and the new aquarium in Draper is absolutely amazing!!! There were so many incredible fish there and I had so much fun with my hubby, brother, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law. It was the best and, since there is no Monthly Favorites post this month, this was my most favorite event of the month! So much fun! And it got me super excited for our Texas move and going to SeaWorld!!
20th: Easter Sunday! I had a fabulous Easter with my family. I always feel so spoiled by the Easter Bunny and this year was no exception. I love my parents and all they do for me and now for Chris as well. Easter is about remembering the resurrection of our brother, Jesus Christ. I love Easter and what it truly means. And I apologize for not doing a blog post about my Easter. If you would like one leave a comment below and let me know. Also on this day, happy 19th birthday to my sweet cousin Cami! I love her so much!
23rd: I was given a free dinner on campus for cleaning up after the Howl! It's nice to go to the all-you-can-eat place for cleaning up after college students at 1:00am. The Howl is one of the many reasons I do not like my job... But (when this post is published) I am no longer working there. We're moving to Texas and I get to find something new. I'm excited!
24th: HALLELUJAH FOR TAX REFUNDS!!! That's all I have to say.
25th: I finally got to see Divergent and I was so insanely happy and I loved it so so much!!! I just want to go see it again and again!!
26th: Chris and I went to the temple with my cousin Cami (and other family members) as she went through for the first time to prepare for her mission! It had been a while since we went through the temple and it was good for us as we are preparing for our big move. Afterwards we went to my cousin Nate's house and had lunch and I got to hold his adorable baby Will. He's the cutest! Then Chris and I went home and fell asleep for hours. Seriously, Chris slept in until like 7:00. It was weird, but I felt incredibly caught up on sleep, so that was a plus.
28th: We got our storage unit so we could start moving the things not coming to Texas with us into storage. It's insane how soon we're moving!!
30th: Tomorrow is my last day of work! What??? Two years ago I thought I was done with my janitor job forever but then last year after three months of unemployment I had to take it back. This past year (school year) of working as a janitor was really hard. It's been four years of being a janitor and that's just not what I want to be doing with my life. I love my boss, I love my coworkers, and it really isn't a bad job. It's just not me, and I'm happy to be leaving and hopefully I don't have to go back again. It's weird to be leaving the same job twice, but I'm excited for new adventures in Texas!
Also, on May 2nd, we move to Texas! This is one of the craziest things I've done in my life but I'm so excited and Chris and I are just happy that we get to try out this new adventure together! As you can guess, I will not be writing on this blog until we're all settled, so it may be a while til my next post (besides scheduled posts about Book Club and Charity of the Month) so I'm sorry that I won't get to talk with you for a while. I love all my readers and wish us luck and safety on our journey to Texas! When I get back I'm sure I'll have lot to say about the longest car ride of my life!
__________________________________________________________
To gain 100 blog followers: Again, technically I do have over 200 when I add up all my social media sites, but I'm focusing on getting 100 on just one site. I haven't been doing much this month to get new followers but this summer gaining more followers is definitely a focus as well as giveaways for my new and old followers!
To run a 5k: I am no longer doing the Color Vibe, which makes me sad, but I have this big goal thing I'm working towards so maybe I'll be trained enough to run a 5k soon. I just have to find one. Maybe I'll do the one in the fall that they do at Thanksgiving Point. We'll see.
To get six pack abs: Definitely have not been working on this this month. I've been eating ridiculously this month but starting in May I have some big plans.
To improve my math skills: I honestly just want to kick this goal out of the mix. I don't really want to improve in math, no matter how bad I am at it! Ugh. We'll see I guess.
To make school more of a priority: This goal is complicated right now. There is a lot going on with my college career that you don't know about yet and it's changing lots of things. I have big decisions to make and so much to think about so this goal is on hold until further notice.
To eat healthier: Major fail this month. Peeps have been my favorite snack. I eat like four big meals a day. Bad, bad, bad! But as I said, May is my month to make a change and I have lots of goals for next month.
To save up more money: Can I just say how grateful I am for tax returns? Thank goodness that payment was able to help us get everything in order for the big move. We don't have a lot saved, but we're hoping this summer job will help us get lots of money to save up for school... and finally getting me a new laptop.
To not procrastinate: I have been slightly been procrastinating this month with packing. It's just so overwhelming to pack up our entire apartment for a second time. Also, this move this weekend is the third place we will be living since we've gotten married... and we're one week shy of a year. I know this has nothing to do with my goal, but it's ridiculous how many places we've lived in one year. But yeah, I've been fairly organized about a packing schedule, but I put it off till like last week.
To read more: I am super excited because Book Club starts back up next month!!! AKA, tomorrow!!! Be sure to check out the Book Club page on my blog to see what we'll be reading. Also, I'm happy for our long drive to Texas in a few days because I can finally read Insurgent which I bought months ago but haven't had the time to read yet. I'm happy that I'll get to read more now that school is out!
To pray and read my scriptures everyday: It makes me so sad every month to get to this goal and realize I'm not doing it. I know it sounds like procrastinating, but I truly believe this move to Texas is a chance to change my life for the better. I'm starting new things, I have new goals, I have new life plans, and so much is changing and I truly hope I can make a change for the better and work on this goal.
This Monthly Review post was much longer, but what did y'all think? If you have any suggestions for how I should do my review posts please leave a comment below. And please feel free to tell me all about your April!
THANKS FOR READING!!

Baby Animal Days
This post is a part of The Cache Valley Checklist.
If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that this weekend I had one of the most exciting moments of my life... I PET A BABY COW!!! And it was amazing! I got to see so many baby cows and they were the cutest things ever! But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I have been looking forward to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center for months now. I was continually on the lookout for the official dates of the event. Finally one day in the mail we received a notice about it and I clung onto the piece of paper, waiting patiently for the event to arrive! When it was finally the week of, we realized we didn't have any money in our bank account and our chances of going were growing dim, and I was truly upset. But my husband, knowing I had my heart set on going, saved up his tip money just for this event!
I absolutely LOVED Baby Animal Days!! We didn't get to see the baby bear, because the line took over an hour and we had to drive down to Salt Lake (another story for another day) but we got to see so many cute little animals and Chris bought me rock candy, which is my favorite.
Honestly, this event was the most exciting thing I've done in a very long time and it made me truly happy! So I'm so happy we were able to go and pet some animals! If you live in Cache Valley or nearby, you should definitely check out this event every Springtime, and don't forget to look at my Cache Valley Checklist for over 100 things to do in Cache Valley!
So now here's just a ton of pictures from the event! Yay!
Showing off our wristbands!
I GOT TO PET A COW!!! So in line there was a little girl before us and she just ran over to the cow and hugged it and kissed his head, it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.
I held a bunny! And if you know me, holding animals is a pretty big deal for me.
Santa's reindeer!!
This is Chris's hand, he said the tongue felt like sandpaper. I don't let my hands go near animal's mouths, even for an adorable little cow.
Sorry, so many cow pictures! But what do you expect from a blog named after cows?
Us with our candy!
Chris showing off his bag of candy.
I'm afraid of bridges, but I totally crossed this.
Now Chris knows how to handle the duck living outside our apartment.
This was by far the cutest little horse I've seen in my entire life. Pictures don't do it justice. I couldn't get good ones though because it was dark and rainy the whole time we were there (until we left) and this little guy (actually I think it was a girl) was in a barn, so it was darker anyways. But seriously, tiny, most adorable horse in the whole world.
Somehow all these pictures got out of order, but what do you guys care, right? So anyways, I love Baby Animal Days!!!
THANKS FOR READING!!!

Web Video Wednesday: The Scarecrow
Okay, this video is... there are no words. Fiona Apple is brilliant, I've always loved her, I absolutely love her version of this song. The animation in this is incredible! The story behind it is amazing! As someone who loves cows so much, I love the moral behind this! And this makes me really want to play the game, although I can't because I don't own any Apple products that would allow me to and it's not available for my Kindle Fire. But I had to share this video because of how incredibly beautiful it is.

Random Events
I wish I had photos for this post (I do have a few, but they aren't up on my laptop yet) but I just have a few things that I want to share with you guys!!
So Saturday Chris and I went to the Cache Valley fair!!! I absolutely love fairs! I don't know what it is. I was hot and sweaty, but I just love walking around, looking at all the booths, holding the hand of my lover! There are so many fun sounds and smells and it's just an environment that makes me happy!
We got ourselves new USU shirts that I'm excited about, because I didn't have any white ones till now, I just have like eight blue ones. Three which are exactly the same... And I got a frozen lemonade that was absolutely delicious!!! It was seriously so good! Chris got an old fashioned soda in an awesome cup. It's was... black cherry... maybe... It was something cool.
AND WE GOT TO SEE COWS!!!!
While there, I got a phone call from my aunt telling me she had an extra ticket to see Fiddler on the Roof that night!! I was so excited because I love that movie but I had never seen it live before. So later that night when Chris was at work I got to see Fiddler on the Roof. It was amazing!! I liked the movie more, but they did an amazing job! But it was really weird that they had the lyrics projected on this little screen, because it made it seem like a sing-a-long, but it wasn't.
Today after church and watching Brave for like the seventh time since being married (Chris is obsessed), we drove down to Kaysville to have a special dinner with Chris's family. While driving I noticed big flumes of smoke, which I immediately recognized as a forest fire (we've had enough fires in the mountains near my house for me to recognize them). I learned later that it was a fire caused by lightning above Millville in Blacksmith Fork Canyon.
So we ate a small lunch then Chris searched his whole house for all the Pokemon game boy games he could find... I don't understand it, or want to talk about it, don't ask... Afterwards we decided to go fishing, well he fished, I tanned and read my book. But it was so freaking hot!!! Both of us were dying of heat. I picked a bad day to wear pants... but I did roll them up to tan my legs, but it didn't help with that awful, awful heat.
When we got back to Chris's parent's house his Grandma and Uncle were there and then more relatives came so we conversed and Chris played his Pokemon game (seriously, don't ask). Then it was time for dinner!!! We had burgers and chips and vegetables. It was so super delicious, and I'm apparently over my meat aversion. (Which I realize I haven't told you about... basically while watching Youtube an ad popped up which showed a bunch of farm animals being abused and even though I had the option to skip it, I couldn't look away, and it permanently freaked me out... yep, thinking about it makes me regret that burger... but seriously, look at the title of my blog, I LOVE COWS! And after seeing a cow get pushed violently out of a truck, knocked and kicked around, being abused by metal sticks, and getting shot in the head, it's hard to not be seriously scared of eating meat, I don't want to promote that kind of behavior... sorry, super long story...)
Then we took Chris's adorable dog Max on a walk. Max is seriously so cute! I want a Max. I don't love dogs, but I want a Max. He's just the most well behaved dog I've ever met. And he's the only dog I've allowed to sit on my lap because he doesn't lick me or bark and scare me.
Then I just fell asleep on the couch while watching Monster Fish, which by the way, is a dumb show. He's trying to copy River Monsters, but he kind of behaves the way I do around fish, which seriously concerns me. How can he have a fishing show? And, he hardly ever fishes! He just shows off the fish other people catch! It's dumb, but also kind of funny because he's just a weird host. Also, PS, he completely exaggerates things. Like the description of the episode said he was searching for a goldfish as big as a cow, but it wasn't really a goldfish and it definitely wasn't as big as a cow, but he said it could be. Uh huh, sure.
After I woke up we headed back home, but not before Chris's parents gave us food and tried to give us money for gas and basically to pay us to come visit them more. :) They are kind of lonesome because now they're empty-nesters, but we love them and love to visit them and don't need them to pay us to do it. :) On the drive home, that burning mountain in Cache Valley looked really cool. It was dying down and very much taken care of, but it was glowing and pretty looking.
Also, today (August 11th) marks Chris and I being married for exactly three months! YAY!!! I love being married to my best friend! We are so great together in every way and we just have the most fun all the time! I want to write a post about being married for three months, it's in the works. Stay in touch.
That's my weekend story!! I just wanted to share it with the world! As I said, I have a few pictures (very few) but I'll add those later. :) Thanks for reading! I love my readers!!

But it was really weird that they had the lyrics projected on this little screen, because it made it seem like a sing-a-long, but it wasn't.
Today after church and watching Brave for like the seventh time since being married (Chris is obsessed), we drove down to Kaysville to have a special dinner with Chris's family. While driving I noticed big flumes of smoke, which I immediately recognized as a forest fire (we've had enough fires in the mountains near my house for me to recognize them). I learned later that it was a fire caused by lightning above Millville in Blacksmith Fork Canyon.
On the drive I got a lot of reading done in my book! Yay! Don't forget to join me in my book club!
So we ate a small lunch then Chris searched his whole house for all the Pokemon game boy games he could find... I don't understand it, or want to talk about it, don't ask... Afterwards we decided to go fishing, well he fished, I tanned and read my book. But it was so freaking hot!!! Both of us were dying of heat. I picked a bad day to wear pants... but I did roll them up to tan my legs, but it didn't help with that awful, awful heat.
When we got back to Chris's parent's house his Grandma and Uncle were there and then more relatives came so we conversed and Chris played his Pokemon game (seriously, don't ask). Then it was time for dinner!!! We had burgers and chips and vegetables. It was so super delicious, and I'm apparently over my meat aversion. (Which I realize I haven't told you about... basically while watching Youtube an ad popped up which showed a bunch of farm animals being abused and even though I had the option to skip it, I couldn't look away, and it permanently freaked me out... yep, thinking about it makes me regret that burger... but seriously, look at the title of my blog, I LOVE COWS! And after seeing a cow get pushed violently out of a truck, knocked and kicked around, being abused by metal sticks, and getting shot in the head, it's hard to not be seriously scared of eating meat, I don't want to promote that kind of behavior... sorry, super long story...)
Then we took Chris's adorable dog Max on a walk. Max is seriously so cute! I want a Max. I don't love dogs, but I want a Max. He's just the most well behaved dog I've ever met. And he's the only dog I've allowed to sit on my lap because he doesn't lick me or bark and scare me.
Then I just fell asleep on the couch while watching Monster Fish, which by the way, is a dumb show. He's trying to copy River Monsters, but he kind of behaves the way I do around fish, which seriously concerns me. How can he have a fishing show? And, he hardly ever fishes! He just shows off the fish other people catch! It's dumb, but also kind of funny because he's just a weird host. Also, PS, he completely exaggerates things. Like the description of the episode said he was searching for a goldfish as big as a cow, but it wasn't really a goldfish and it definitely wasn't as big as a cow, but he said it could be. Uh huh, sure.
After I woke up we headed back home, but not before Chris's parents gave us food and tried to give us money for gas and basically to pay us to come visit them more. :) They are kind of lonesome because now they're empty-nesters, but we love them and love to visit them and don't need them to pay us to do it. :) On the drive home, that burning mountain in Cache Valley looked really cool. It was dying down and very much taken care of, but it was glowing and pretty looking.
Also, today (August 11th) marks Chris and I being married for exactly three months! YAY!!! I love being married to my best friend! We are so great together in every way and we just have the most fun all the time! I want to write a post about being married for three months, it's in the works. Stay in touch.
That's my weekend story!! I just wanted to share it with the world! As I said, I have a few pictures (very few) but I'll add those later. :) Thanks for reading! I love my readers!!

Pinterest Sundays: Smart, Baby Cows, Living Room, Bookcase, Books to Movies, Blue Umbrella, School, and Clothes
I apologize in advance, this one has a lot. :)
I loved reading through this. It's so true that in our Mormon culture we feel completely worthless if something happens. I love Elizabeth Smart and feel she is a real inspiration to not on LDS members, but to the world. You can find the story HERE.
Last October-ish, before I was even engaged, my mom and I saw an adorable cow costume for babies. My mom got all excited and told me I needed to get it for my children. I informed her (though it was completely obvious) that I had no children and I wasn't going to buy baby costumes when I wasn't even engaged. I'm now married, but I'm still not getting one till I'm pregnant.... but yes, all my kids will be wear a cow costume at some point in their lives.
I absolutely love this!!! I really want to make curtains for our living room (when I have money again) and I want them similar to this. And actually, that desk thing would look really good as well. When we are financially stable, I'm modeling our living room after this picture.
I would love one of these in our little bathroom. Because it's open on two sides, it wouldn't feel crowded in there. I also need something by my bed, and this would be good for that too.
14 Books to Read Before They Hit The Big Screen. I have been wanting to read Divergent, but this list has other interesting books I'll have to check out as well.
One of my favorite things in the world are Pixar Shorts. If you haven't seen Monsters University yet, you probably haven't seen The Blue Umbrella. I loved it. It was super cute!
27 Ways to Have the Healthiest School Year Ever. I am super excited for school to start this month!!!! I'm going crazy just waiting for the USU semester to start! I really like this article and the tips that it has. Hopefully I can keep on track this semester and everything will go smoothly.
I absolutely love everything about this outfit!!! I love the shoes so much! I'm really sick of the clothes in my closet and want to replace the majority of them, but, again, I have no money. So that will have to wait. But I have a large board of clothes to buy on Pinterest when I finally get the money. :)

Cow Appreciation Day!
This last Friday was Cow Appreciation Day! For as long as I've known my husband, we have always celebrated this wonderful holiday together. This year we dressed in our black and white and headed out to get F'reals. If you have not yet had a F'real before, you better go find one ASAP!! It is the best milkshake ever! We chose to eat F'reals because cows produce milk, and obviously there is milk in milkshakes. So we were celebrating one of the many things cows do for us! ;)
We also had important things to do that day, like driving my grandma to Brigham City and taking her dog, Kabe, to the doggie kennel.
Kabe was really funny. They put him in the kennel and he ran out and started racing out of the room, trying to get out of the building. Chris had to go catch him and put him back in the kennel. Kabe is just sort of lost without my Grandma. He won't even try to play with anyone else if my Grandma isn't around. It's funny. He's very attached.
We had a very enjoyable Cow Appreciation Day and I hope you all did too! :)
We also enjoyed a pizza, because cows also produce cheese. I was sporting my amazing cow earrings and necklace, because they are just that awesome.

Friday July 12th is Cow Appreciation Day!
I need all my readers to be aware of this Friday's AMAZING holiday! It's Cow Appreciation Day!! Last year Chris and I celebrated this holiday together by visiting cows and getting cheese. I also wore my cow necklace and earrings. :)
This year we have some exciting new plans... but I'm not sharing them with you yet. You'll see all about it in pictures in a few days. :)
Chick-Fil-A loves this holiday almost as much as I do. Every year they give out free entrees or meals if you go in dressed up like a cow! You can learn all the details HERE.
Since this blog is dedicated to my love of cows, it's only reasonable that we celebrate cows here! I love cows because I think they're cute, funny, and adorably fat. They are also incredibly helpful to humans for milk and cheese and ice cream! Cows are great! I really appreciate them! Don't forget to appreciate them this Friday, July 12th, 2013!
