Just For the Laughs -Blogtober Day 5

Who dislikes Mondays? I sure do. So here are some of my recent favorite funny posts from Pinterest, just so we can all have a little laugh on a Monday.

For reals, go visit This Is Actually How To Train Your Dragon right now!! It was created by the same people in charge of the CinemaSins YouTube page, which I love, and it's a fake/real website to teach us all how to train our dragons. It's funny and awesome and just check it out. 

(If you don't know this is George RR Martin, and if you don't know Game of Thrones you probably don't get the joke, but I think it's funny.)

(Chris and I now say this all the time.)

(Beware, this next one has some bad swear words. Sorry!!)

My Travel Wishlist -Blogtober Day 4

As this is posted, I am currently on my way home from a roadtrip with my family. So I thought it would be fun to share with you the places I want to travel most in life.

Some of you may have seen my "American Journey" post in which I explained how I want to travel to each state in the US for a specific place and purpose. I have never given up on that goal, despite only have one state checked off (and it's not even the state I live in). But I do have other travel goals outside of the US. This list is about places both in and out of the US that are at the top of my wishlist.

New York City

I honestly cannot think of a time when I haven't wanted to visit New York. Even as a child, New York seemed like some magical place that I really wanted to visit. There are literally so many thing to visit and experience in New York and I want to be able to do it all!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Honestly, what human being my age who grew up with Harry Potter does not want to go here? It may not be a city, or landmark, but it's Harry Potter which represents something that made a big influence on my childhood. Harry Potter books, movies, pictures, and even just the mention of the name always seems to make me smile so this is a place I know I would enjoy.

London

This has been a more recent addition to my wishlist. I think in my younger years I didn't know much about London so I didn't really care. I loved British accents but the place didn't seem so exciting to me. However, in marrying a man who wants to move to the UK, and falling in love with BBC's Sherlock (it's not just love, it's an obsession), London has moved to the top of my list. I'm always fascinated in being in a place with old architecture and history and London has tons of that! It really is a beautiful place and I really hope someday Chris and I can go.

Scotland

If you've met my husband, you know his wish is to move to Scotland.  He served his LDS mission in Scotland and is ridiculously in love with the place. But the more I learn about it, the more I am falling in love too. Also, as anyone who reads my blog should know, I'm in love with cows. And Scotland is home to my favorite type of cow, the highland cow. So for reals I just need to go there.

Canada

Umm.... I don't know the reason. I've just always wanted to go to Canada! Also, going off on a random tangent here, a few months ago Chris and I went through all the episodes of Breaking Bad (which is amazing). So when on Pinterest I sometimes look up funny things about Breaking Bad, and my current favorite is this:

Washington DC

This is one of those places just filled with history that interests me so much. DC and its surrounding areas have a lot of historical landmarks and buildings that I want to experience firsthand. I've always been mad at Chris that he got to go without me and I hope we can experience it together soon.

The Grand Canyon

A few years ago my parents took my brother to the Grand Canyon and I was upset I didn't get to go. I love nature and what God has given us in nature (this is why Yellowstone will forever be one of my favorite places). So the Grand Canyon is one of those places that I just know I need to visit someday.

Italy

This isn't at the top of my wishlist, but my ancestors on my dad's side came from Italy, so I've always been a little more interested in Italy than other European countries. In talking to Chris, he's also had a desire to visit Italy and the historical sites there, so maybe Italy will become a place we actually get to check off our list.

My Favorite Things About Fall! -Blogtober Day 3

Hey ya'll, I'm back for my third day of Blogtober. It is now officially autumn and it's my favorite time of year! So in today's post I'm going to simply tell you all the things I love most about fall. And it's a Saturday, so I'm sure you have more important/fun things to do then read a long list of my favorite things, so I'll keep this nice and short.

When the leaves change in the mountains and create beautiful colors

Pumpkin patches 

Corn mazes

Halloween is the best holiday

My birthday is in autumn

Being able to wear boots all the time

Fall fashion is the absolute greatest

Sunshine and cooler nights

The crunch of stepping on fallen leaves

Colder weather is more of an excuse to stay in and snuggle

The North Logan Pumpkin Walk 

Hot chocolate

Insects are slowly disappearing from view

The anniversary of meeting Chris, our first kiss, and our engagement (not all the same year, ha ha)

Glasses And Flannel -Blogtober Day 2

There are a lot of crows near our apartment and in the first picture I was looking up at a crow as it made a noise I didn't know crows were capable of. Anyone who knows me well knows that birds terrify me, so you would think my face would be more scared, but the sound was so Jurassic Park-ish that I was just amazed by it. 

I love glasses. Ever since my sister got glasses in elementary school I have wanted glasses. And yet, I am the only one in my family who does not need them (although I feel my job of staring at a computer all day has a been deteriorating my eyesight). So for years and years, even before it was a fad, I occasionally wore fake glasses because I wanted them so badly. I think I look good in them and they make me happy, although these ones are meant to help in sunlight, meaning they have an annoying yellowish tint and make looking at a computer screen painful, so I can't even wear these to work. So lame. 

Last weekend I went to Ross and bought six shirts that were almost all flannel. They are so cute though and I can't wait to show you the rest of them, but heads up, you may get sick of seeing me in plaid. I also bought this boots that I'm notw in love with and the week before bought these leggings, but I am slightly disappointed by them. I bought them because my other leggings of this brand are ridiculously comfortable and stay in place. These ones are too tight, with not as comfortable fabric, and slide down too much. Oh well. They still look great. 

Glasses: Claire's

Shirt: Ross

Leggings: June & Daisy

Boots: Ross

Heads up! I have a haul video coming up this month so you can see the other shirts I got from Ross last week! But for now, enjoy some other cute ones I found online:
