Late-as-of

Spring Term is a heavenly thing.

I am sad that it is nearing its end. It is the perfect blend of school and summer.

I am lucky to be spending it with the best people too. :]

Whats new....

Our kickball team...Von Trapp Family kickers is in the TOURNAMENT. We have to win 2 more games to be the champions. WHOOP.

Post game treats have also become a vital part of our weekly routine. The Houkilou Snow Cone Shack is a new favorite of ours.

Snow Cones dancing in our heads.

We went camping for memorial day!

This is where we ended up... Rachel's family owns this beautiful property. They let us come out with them and spend some time in a cell-phone service free zone. It was peaceful and a truly great time.

We did have on injury happen...

Hollie sprained her ankle in a four wheeler accident.  She is our champion of late and has had many "crutching" adventures as she has had to trek accross campus everyday on her crutches.

And finally...I have started reading for pleasure again! To kick off the summer I am going to learn about somebody I hope to become more like. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. I am really excited to learn about her life...I will report back if it is any good.

Well, onward and upward.

The weekend is here. All is awesome.

thought.

Do your BEST & The Lord will take care of the rest.

I have the name tag and the manual. LETS DO IT. 
I first felt a little overwhelmed for the awesome job ahead of me...not for long! I am beyond ready and excited to have the time of my life, helping others to have the time of their life. If that makes sense?  Heres to a great summer and more camp counselor training on the morrow!
Also...cool fact of the day. My name tag. IT'S MAGNETIC.

Wacko Wednesday

so check her out.

Happy Wednesday, y'all from our neck of the woods. TOMORROW we go home for the weekend of weddings!

BIVAAA LASS BEGASS.

Tonight was full of music blasting and headphone singing contests where the music is so loud you can't hear yourself...but everybody else can :]

ggggggnighhhhhttt!

pop-carn

On of my favorite things lately is popcorn...I just can't seem to get enough!
My roommates & I have made up our own reciepies and experimented with some others. My favorites are cinnamon & sugar and Jello popcorn!

This popcorn was really cute & tasty too. White chocolate & sprinkles? Can't go wrong!
The bright colors made it adorableeee.

This is our favorite....
CINNAMON & SHUGA SHUGA.
We always have the ingredients on hand & its a crowd pleaser.

-BUTTER :]
-Air popped corn
-cinnamon
-sugar

Intructs: Pop corn, melt butter & stir into warm popcorn. Sprinkle & mix in Cinnamon &Sugar until desired amount reached!

Another Favorite is Jello Popcorn.

Sounds kinda funky, but it is so gooddd!

(from Our Best Bites, Fruity Candy Popcorn & Michelle from Campus Floral)

Recipie:

1/4 cup butter

3 T light corn syrup/honey

1/2 cup sugar

1.35 oz box of jello, Flavor of your choice! (not sugar free)

1. Add butter & syrup to pan and heat until butter melted.

2. Add in sugar and jello & stir well!

3. Increase heat until a boil & then lower heat and allow to simmer 5 minutes.

(texture will be think and kind of weird, go with it!  It will become more liquidy as time goes on! )

4.Mix mixture with popcorn immediately and then spread flat over a foiled cookie sheet to dry.

Some then put it in the oven at 300 for about ten minutes to let it melt and cook a bit. I find it okay if you don't do that as well. So if you are feeling impatient,  I say dig in after cooled!

It is really fun to mix flavors, like strawberry & lemon for strawberry lemonade of toast coconut and mix it will pinapple jellow popcorn! The possibilities are endless!

In other news...

Spring semester is going GREAT. It is so much more relaxed & nice to have less people on campus. Classes are going at a really quick speed but it is nice to be able to focus on just a couple of them!

Hollie & I spent a night in Logan, UT and it is BEAUTIFUL THERE! We ate at one of the town classic landmarks, The Bluebird!

Alex's wedding is this weekend! I can't wait to see her & am so excited for this time in her life. We will be road-trippin to viva las vegas on thursday for the festivities.

The Von Trap Family Kickers (our kickball team, nerdy names are the way to go)  start their spring season this Thursday at 9:15, if you care to join! It is going to be a great adventure. Yes we will be playing in our lederhosen. Yes we will be singing our cheers in harmony. Yes our warm ups will not only be physical but vocal to bat. :]

In sad news, my calculus class was short lived. I lasted a bit of a painful  day. DANG IT! But I am in statistics now!

HAPPY FIRST DAY DE MAYO!
