this next one is a little slow, but if you skip to the middle, i promise you won’t regret it. in fact, i guarantee at least a minor chuckle. or just skip to 1:30. that’s prolly the best part.

here’s another long one…really long. but just watch the first minute when they show a variety of westies making bank robbery getaways on the autobahn. so amazing.

and lastly, monique (we named our westy monique. did i ever tell you that?) might be a big girl, but she can totally tow boats:

you know you want one. go westy!

on a side note, i haven’t stopped listening to the new arcade fire for two days. i’m not even sure how many times i’ve listened to it start to finish. I kind of lost count after 10.

hurray for slc. and arcade fire.

That someone might be me.

And I might be infinitely, mind-numbingly happy.

Because of listening to a certain secret something…something that is this:

we played a lot of shifty games of phase 10 and uno..

very shifty…

this westy trip marked our first attempt at dutch oven baking. attempt #1: peach/berry cobbler.

cobbler triumph in the woods! huzzah!

did i ever tell you how much i luff our westy? hmm…don’t think i did.

on a side note, we also went to a real game. just because the world cup is over doesn’t mean america can go back to ignoring soccer. but actually, it does. silly america.

i need to know how i can get into the drum circle section. srsly. any ideas? because constant smoke bombs, confetti, and “ole, ole, ole, oleeeeee” looks amazing to me. they know how to party.

that’s a lot of classy brass, kids. i luff beirut. love.

this guy with his little trumpet slung happily over his shoulder and his gorgeously smooth voice lilting from his sweetly tilted head made my life. such an amazing show.

here he is singing elephant gun, one of everyone’s personal beirut favs.

of course, the night of a show would never be complete without a greasy gut bomb breakfast at the one and only freaky dees.

i love salt lake. i love music. and i love my oustanding twilight series posse that i get to see every week and love life infinitely with. you are all incredible and make me all kinds of happy. you know who you are.

huzzah for summer.

would you rather….

have babies with….

or   

thom or devendra? neither is not an option. my answer? impossible to decide. i’ll have both their babies.

live in a  _____ for 6 months….

or  

westy or yurt? i think we all know what my answer is.

have tea with…

or   

john or paul? your answer should most likely include creative uses of time travel.

listen to ______ forever for the rest of your LIFE….

or    

ELO or Michael McDonald. dude. this might be the most important decision of your life. i mean, forever is a really long time. i’d only choose sir mcdonald if he’d sing backup vocals to my every day life. otherwise, ELO all the way.

you have to wear this one item of clothing every single day for the rest of your life…

or  

obviously the answer here is fanny pack–the possibilities of the functionality are endless. silly question.

spend 48 consecutive hours watching nothing but this show

or 

blossom or small wonder. if your answer is you haven’t seen either of these shoes, stop the test now. we can’t be friends.

ride a…

or   

centuar, obviously.

and lastly

you have to get a tattoo. do you get…

or  

omg. patrick swayze centaur HANDS DOWN.

choose wisely, my friends.

secret secret. i have a secret. (kinda like a mr. roboto secret.)

perhaps i’ll share a sneak peek soon. in the meantime, here’s a photo and two of my all-time fav fonts that are inspiring me tonight.

(if you’re wondering if i’m a font whore, the answer is a resounding yes. i have no shame.)

logos are scary! eee! wish me luck!

turns out the krishna temple is amazing. i’d never seen it before, but it’s like a mini taj mahal in the middle of podunk nasty spanish fork.

the llamas did not like christopher.

they didn’t really like andrew either. turns out llamas are really picky. they continuously refused andrew’s perfectly good albeit a little dirty apple he found on the ground. who knew llamas were apple snobs?

llamas. most likely the world’s most awkward animals.

insta-campground at its finest. we literally pulled up at 11:30pm, popped the top, and had the best sleep of our lives.

if you’re wondering if this was the best purchase we’ll ever make, the answer is a resounding yes. i want to live in her.

what’s next? who knows. portland? mt. rushmore? boston? weekend camping trip, anyone?

this video is making me infinitely happy today. but then again, when have the beatles not made me infinitely happy? kudos to you, beatles, for making my life worth living.

happy friday, everyone! we’re off to bear lake and llama fest this weekend. should be epic!
