SNOW!!!

So I woke up this beautiful morning of September 30th, and what did I see???


SNOW!!!






It's beautiful, I love it with the fall leaves...plus it means I got to break out my fall clothes: sweaters, riding boots, gloves and all...but hey...it's only September. And there's snow. What the.

Fall Fest!

Fall Leaf Drive numero uno on Sunday...picnic turned four hour adventure with Ash, Kris, Dustin, Mark, and Adam. So much fun together.






{Stuff like this makes me question my sanity in wanting to move away from the mountains next year!}

B.A.C./P.A.C.

Brooke Ashley & Paul Anthony

Love my brother. Just talked to him on the phone and realized we haven't seen each other since New Years. 9 months is entirely too long. I miss him immensely, thank heavens for cell phone! I talk to him probably every week or so. Without any exaggeration, he's my best friend and the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful...and not to mention good looking...boy you'll ever meet. Plus he's an amazing listener and gives some of the best advice. Oh and he has a pretty awesome sense of humor, so ya know, added perk. We laugh entirely too much when we're together. Favorite memory: living with him for a month and a half last summer in Maui. Yeah...we shared a room for a month, and we still somehow love each other. I'm so lucky to have him as a brother.

Love you Paul!

Love & Exhaustion

It's true. I'm in love with New York City. Pretty much decided I want to move there when I'm done with school. That said, I have never been so exhausted in my life (and ridiculously scared for the mass amounts of studying and catching up on course material my brain will be forced to do...and do well...this week)

ex.haust.ion: extreme weakness or fatigue.

Yeah, I'd say that's about right. I hate layovers. Who even thought of those? Lame. My connecting flight in Denver was canceled on my flight back today, so I had the marvelous privilege of becoming bff with the Denver International Airport for an additional four hours. Maybe that would've been ok if I'd actually gotten more than 1 hour of sleep last night. But seeing as I didn't, and that I was so comatose I fell asleep on the plane before it even pulled away from the gate in NY, you can only imagine my annoyance at DIA. Thank heavens they have the best food court of any airport. Starbucks, Panda, and Ben & Jerry's all did me well. such a fatty. and so rambling right now....ahhhh I need sleep baaaaaadly.

Loving Life

Leaving for the nyc TOMORROW!!! I'm incredibly excited to go for Ad Week and meet NEW AD AGENCIES, and of course just excited to be back in the city.


On a funny note...just look at the photo to the left. This weekend was AMAZING. Explanation: way too crazy with Ash, Justin, and Ryan Friday night in Park City. The cabin we were at was full of stuffed animals and we just couldn't resist this photo opp. haha. I was way too hyper that night...reminds me of those crazy nights we used to have all the time in the Aves! Too funny.

But seriously, great weekend. SL, PC, tennis with Ilene, golf with Andy, laughing way way way too much with Ash, Kris and the various boys, football game with Val, movie snuggles, sunday night game night, and monday morning rock climbing. So much fun! And all followed by a week packed full of advertising and NY!



{so happy}

Love Me Preppy

Relaxing Friday:

7AM wake up.
8AM finally get out of bed after laying there texting.
9AM yum. breakfast.
10AM tennis with the lovely Ilene.
12PM back to the office. blech. might have detoured to the adlab to save sanity.
1PM sit at work and finish hw I'll be missing while I'm in NY next week.
3PM golf (aka driving range fun) with Andy.
5PM rendez-vous with Ash in SLC then head up to Park City for the night.

Gosh when did my life get so preppy again? love. it.




PS I want this polo BAD. Or their blue, white and gold one. Totally back into the polo phase I seem to always inevitably return to. Anyone feel like being charitable in the form of Ralph Lauren? haha.

back, back to the NY, NY!!!

Random 10 Countdown For the NYC Return:

-10 gillion options of outfits I could bring. ad week is overlapping with fashion weeks...dun dun dun.
-9 gillion options that I've narrowed it to. Will have to work on this one more!
-8 or so new ad firms I'm hoping to visit. (and so excited about!)
-7 more permanent months left in Provo...then real life! woo!
-6 more days til I'm back in wonderful NYC for Ad Week!!!
-5 glorious days I'll be spending there
-4 tiny hours on an airplane...don't you love modern travel?!
-3 dollars. Close to what my bank account will (not) hold after this stint.
-2 amazing parents who have been ridiculously supportive of me, and who I will forever be grateful for.
-1 fabulous BYU AdLab that is making this happen.


And on a serious note...I really am excited to be going back to NYC to experience Ad Week, but more importantly see more ad agencies and get a feel for them. I'm starting to heavily lean toward an east coast move come April, and hopefully this will help me gain an even better perspective on what's out there. So excited for this next stage of life to start!

{LOVE}
