I LOVE JT-THIS IS GREAT

Reverberations

Reverberations

With coy expressions they smile,

Knowing the secrets of their past.

The stories, which they do not tell

The memories which only they share.

Dreams realized and rewarded

Penitence of a life delayed

They sing.

salmon pants

So on Saturday night Harold and I went disco skating with Chelsey and Dale and that whole crew.. well I happened to find a red pantsuit in my mom's closet that she made back in the day so I sported that for disco skating.  It was last minute that I decided to dress up, so Harold didn't have time to go back and dress up himself.. well we arrive at classic skating and as we are paying for our tickets to get in they tell us, "well since you have both dressed up, you get in for this cheaper price." Remember how I said Harold did NOT dress up.  Ya well pretty sure he was rockin the salmon pants with a turquoise top with his like patagonia furry vest thing he wear sometimes- as a normal outfit.  I obviously didn't correct the lady but laughed at the fact that she thought he was dressed up. an honest mistake. Anyways I just thought you all might appreciate the story of the salmon pants and all the connections they're giving us.  

this is the picture from his gchat pic -those salmon pants really stand out

Isn't he precious?

Happy Holiday Season CS'ers.

I enjoy coldplay and anything that gets me feeling festive.

I thought you might enjoy it as well.

I love you all.

Mary...I am excited to see you in your wedding dress in two weeks.

PUPPLES!!

In honor of the candy shoppe and our own lingo and britt linde using it as well and taking -les/-ulls to a whole new level..(check fb post on sarah's well for reference) I present to you some PUPPLES!!!!! (seriously, try saying that word without laughing or at least smiling-I haven't been able to)

Pictures from my favorite site: www.dailypuppy.com

look at those cute pupple eyes..

a cuddly, soft pupple

a spotted, playful pupple

Sarah, I know out of everyone you'll appreciate this post most.  If you had your own place where you could have pets, you better believe I would get you one (or all) of these guys for Christmas.

hip hip to PUPPLES.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving CandyShoppe.

I love you all.

I had a dream about the CS last night. They did a lot of renovation and we were sad we didn't live there anymore.

dry shampoo is the new baby powder

So remember when Kylie introduced me to baby powder and how it can make your hair look less greasy? A fantastic share this was and I am here to pay the favor back.  I came across this DIY dry shampoo on a blog and it looks really easy.  I am sure you all have heard of dry shampoo and I hear fantastic things- but as I am sure it is expensive so I think I might want to try this DIY version because I have all the ingredients in my [parents] pantry.

I feel really great about washing my hair less and sleeping in more. you curly-haired people may not appreciate it as much since you can go like 9 days without worrying but some of us has some serious problems with greasy hair. I love when people ask me if I recently colored my hair- only to tell them that it is just clean, and therefore less dark.. but apparently roots are in these days, right reb? anyways just thought I'd share this little gem with you. miss you all.

p.s. remember when my hair was brown/rogue. that was a sad day.

HEART IT

I'm lovn' this

i really like everything about these photos.

i was doing some spring (fall) cleaning to my iphoto library. these are the gems i came across:

6/6 suckas!

mandles you were there before, so technically this 6/6 business is accurate. mark zuckerburg may be the youngest billionaire in the world but he aint THIS. take that sucka!

Who needs Harvard when you've got BYU?

I love to celebrate friendship.

I love to eat lots of popcorn.

I love waiting to get dinner with the people I love the most.

I love knowing that we are still together though one of us lives in northern Utah, one in SLC, and a few scattered in Provo.

I love that we are all still very close, even with boyfriends (or other social obligations).

But, love is not going to get me everything I want in the world. So after watching the social network what is the next big thing we can come up with to make a company worth 26 BILLION?

(I'm kidding, unless you are about to start a world wide successful company...then I definitely want in)

Good thing we were all punched in for the final club CANDY SHOPPE

xoxoxo,

Sarah

enormous affection

in keeping with the tradition of missing the candy shoppe I'd like to share a quote that I think perfectly describes the relationship we all have with each other because of our time at the candy shoppe.  I may have already shared it with some of you but it is worth reading again and again and again.  (no doubt it is by miss jk rowling herself..)

"I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my children’s godparents, the people to whom I’ve been able to turn in times of trouble, people who have been kind enough not to sue me when I took their names for Death Eaters. At our graduation we were bound by enormous affection, by our shared experience of a time that could never come again, and, of course, by the knowledge that we held certain photographic evidence that would be exceptionally valuable if any of us ran for Prime Minister."


The candy shoppe will never come again but I'm glad we have the memories and the "enormous affection" for one another. and you better believe that I'd want you all to be my kid's godparents.

missing you.

dear cs and cs'rs.
a few of us were together last night at the columbus day celebration.
we discussed  the cs. bad and good but really just the good. there is no bad.
wanted to drop in and say missing and loving you cs and cs'rs.

mary this pic of you and kev is just the greatest.

p.s. i am planning a trip to harry potter land november 4-7 (thursday-sunday)
round trip tickets 214.
who's in?

do we have the most precious friend on the planet?

i think YES!

kangaroo and joey. and pandas.

since i rarely see kells bells anymore, we don't get to take any hot pics together to post on facebook for all to see. so she sent me these in memory of seeing each other on a daily basis. tear.

This belongs on the 2cute app..

I raise kylie's cutesy, anime socks with this:

I am still not not sure what animal this exactly is but I found it on the site cuteoverload.com (the site is terrifying, but hilarious- don't ask how I found it...) Apparently this unnamed creature is taking his back to school picture.. 2cute!!!!!!

no explanation needed.

i love brown bear and pink bunny.

take me back to the CS

today is the first day of school and 4/6ths of you are going back. 3/6ths of you are going back to cougar town, 1/6th of you is going to aggie town(?) and 2/6ths of us are in the work force (well technically 1/6ths is working and the other sixth is still looking to be apart of the force but until then it is day club.. alone).  Can you believe it was exactly one year ago that we had 6/6ths happily living under the candy shoppe roof and sitting on the glorious couch?  I know I can't.  What I would give to pause that phase of my life.  The "best and worst" times and I would do it all again to be with you ladies.  But alas life doesn't pause and here we find ourselves moving on, some of us in different directions and some still around (sorry mandi but you will be in provo FOREVER) ;)  I do hope (I am hope, sarah) that we will always remain friends and know that we had the best year anyone could have ever had.  let's keep this blog up so that if we ever move apart (let's get real we are ALL still in Utah) we will keep friendships up. 

3/6ths with their cougar claws

here's to the candy shoppe and my favorite fraction: 6/6ths

In case you're wondering what is going on in p-town....me and mj are just studying up a storm for finals. We are tired. This totally beats Mandi's trip to Costa Rica and a life in NYC. Cougars f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

hi.

i meant to post this weeks ago, but i don't feel that bad because i am single handedly keeping this blog alive. loveeellzzzz.

some pics from the big apple.

just in case you guys forgot what we look like... still looking fly. we miss the shoppe and i wish i could give you all personal kisses on the cheek.

love,
brown bear

For the sake of Sarah Orme

I might have left out this little detail that Sarah might appreciate. You can thank Bryan Jensen and his clan for penny tapping our house. How did I find this out you ask, because he did it to us when we lived in Chandelle. It came up while watching the good old Utah Jazz and I guessed it and they told me. Trust me I only found out a couple of weeks ago.

We must thank.... Mandi for not allowing sarah to call the police. ME for risking my entire life walking down to the basement to save Mandi and Sarah after a death call, Harold and Kellee for staying up till 3 AM and Herald being so brave. Reb for not even waking up, and Kylie for staying sound asleep or we may have all be sleeping in one bed in one room!

What a great night!

for the love of the shoppe, GT's and -ulls

Here's a post so Kylie can know that her efforts to keep the candy shoppe together forever will not be in vain- and I hope this is a a guilt trip to the rest of you who haven't posted either. :) Well 3/6ths of the shoppe is having fun in NYC but definitely feeling like half of us is missing. Life is great out here but I think contentment would be at an ultimate max if we had the remaining 3/6ths here and our house and of course the never to be forgotten, couch. oh the couch. I think I could spend the rest of my days lost in the comfort of that couch... and preferably with you all in heaps around me- sort of like kittens as I think one of you (most likely sarah) said. ahh, what GT's in the ol' shoppe. Thinking about it brings up similar feelings to when I came home from london and missed it. I miss the shoppe like I miss 27 palace court. sigh. I'll have to keep tellnig myself that change is good. But for now I want to remember all the great times in the shoppe and perhaps list a few of my favorite moments with you all:

Best and worst each night, all of us being able to cry to each other, buddies again in 2010 and other sunday treat night parties, THE COUCH, the penny-tapping (it's a lot funnier looking back... right sarah?), the time we played nerts all the time for like 2 weeks, DP and chocolate donut runs, being picked up from campus on cold days, watching movies all the time, hanging out in the loft, hanging out in me and sarah's room, sharing that room, kylie calling mandi and sarah "mean girls!", notes on the mirror in our bathroom, eating ravenously after church on fast sunday.. and every other sunday, bringing home banana bread and having it gone in 4 hours, the treat corner, big sandwiches with mike morris, getting sick from panda express but still being worth it, brown bear, polar bear, and pink bunny, reb's dance moves and kylie's cheers, the scary room (just kidding!!!), the room of requirements, reb's band practice, sitting on the porch on warm days, coveting mary jane's hair everyday, QUINCEANERA!! going to cougar football games and eating cougar tails, being polygamist's wives for halloween and mary jane having the biggest poof of my life, sharing 6 closets, putting -ulls/ells to the end of every word- "sarulls is madulls at meulls," our hip ward and the boyfriends we had in them, hating on jury duty,setting an acronym to everythign: GT's, LML, FML, NOML (need to organize my life- a kylie original) etc., hearing about mandi's work stories about her crazy girls, candy shoppe photo shoots, and many many more great memories.. feel free to add more as I am sure I missed many!

Well I have to say this list made me very happy but also a little emotional. I miss those days dearly but am so grateful to have all of you in my life and have the best senior year of college a girl could ever ask for. Luckily for us kylie made this blog (another shamelesss plug for the CS blog)to keep us close AND we are still planning to go to San Fran at the end of the summer right???? I'm still planning on it and I am pretty sure mandi has filled her quota for jury duty for a long time, so we should be good. Just think of all the fun times we could have- and it could be the start of a great reunion we do every year or so for like the rest of our lives. fun.

Ok so think about the trip and maybe we could start throwing around dates for when e can go. I love you all and LONG LIVE THE CANDY SHOPPE!!
