Gooooood News

I have lots of things to smile about.

1. My good friend Mrs. Hayley Pingree featured me on her blog today. I feel so famous! She asked me to do a guest post while she is away on vacation in Alaska with her hubby. Hers is one of my most stalked blogs for sure.

2. Bentley is forever off the Bachelorette, at least physically. How much do you want to bet that Ashley makes some kind of reference to getting over him on every episode for the rest of the season? Did you see this clip?

3. My trip to Utah is coming up! I'm so excited to have a full week off of work. && More importantly I am SO excited to see one of my best friends get married. The rest of the week will be spent with people that I have been apart from for far too long. Definition of bliss.

Which comes to my next dilemma...
I leave on FRIDAY and I have yet to come up with a road trip playlist.
So far I have the entire Bon Iver album and this song.
I promise you that won't last me all 9 hours.
So I need your help. What are your favorite road trip songs? Anything you are obsessing over lately? What do you listen to with the windows down, driving through the desert?

P.S. How adorable is this engagement shoot. I want to go watch "Sound of Music" now

I'm your newest follower thanks to Hayley! :) You may or may not see another guest post...which I wrote...on her blog...soon...haha. And I AM SO GLAD that Bentley is off the Bachelorette. That was so annoying although the previews for the rest of the season look just as bad ha. And read your 'About Me' page and you'll figure out what you want to do! I just barely graduated from BYU and enjoy it there while you can...I miss it! Anyways, have a good day!

You are soooo cool. Guest posting on blogs? That's my best friend, ladies and gentleman! I haven't seen the Bachelorette in two weeks- lots of catching up to do. Sure wish I had some song recommendations for you- but they would all be country and I know you won't approve of that. MISS YOU!
