weekend.

I got to spend part of the weekend with my amazing sister

and her boyfriend aaron.

No work saturday.

Mimi's Cafe.

A-Team

(the movie, so good}

Church.

Kenzie's meatloaf.

Hershey's Chocolate egg vs Cadbury Chocolate eggs

{Bailey girls hershey's, Aaron Cadbury}

Memories.

February Fake-out

Sunshine.

Light sweaters.

Cute Flats.

Running outside.

I know, I know, that sounds amazing!

And that's what I was experiencing a few weeks ago.

FAKE-OUT!

This is what Gabster likes to call

February Fake-out.

You see, you think winter may just be gone.

It sounds crazy, but the weather is just nice enough to believe it.

But.

Then you wake up one morning.

{Like this morning}

And you find this

Lovely.

A fake-out indeed.

But it's okay, because the time will come when it isn't a fake-out.

And I can play in the sunshine all the days long

and oh how I look forward to that day.

Now.

No matter what the weather is, you will still always have your friends.

And I have some of the best.

Especially the darling Paige Brunt

{check out her cute blog here!}

She is always thinking of others and I am so grateful for her friendship.

I get a text from her

saying she wants to bring me a present.

ME!?

A PRESENT?!

Wow, okie!

and she brought me this...

{You can imagine it as a whole..the roomies dove in before I could snap some pics}

Isn't she just the cutest, most awesome person ever!

We spent the entire day together.

5:30am- Clinical

3:30pm- Drive to Gandolfo's

4:00pm-Run into the entire Volleyball team from SDSU

{pretty awesome}

Ate an amazing sandwich!

4:40pm- Dropped Paige off at home

8:00pm- Back to Paige's for Grey's Anatomy and Hot Chocolate.

Perfect.

{oh, and today I got to draw her blood. NBD}

So even though it is snowy and cold

I have the best friends!

And it makes me quite happy.

and my sissy is coming to see me tomorrow!

Even better.

Love me some good ol' Madison&Mackenzie Time.

Happy Friday!

Normal is Overrated.

You know you are in trouble

when you go out with your best friends and they see this sign

And call out your name.

Yikes!

What can I say...just being ME is exhausting day-after-day!!

{you can all laugh now..since that is a joke}

But like I said

Normal is overrated.

If you were normal you couldn't...

1. Pretend you are a bird...on a wall.

2. Slip-n-slide in blue foam!

3. Pretend you are an amazing dancer while the sun is setting...obviously.

4. Go to the Utah Jazz game and come home with jugs of milk!

And the list could go on..and on..and on..

but I better stop now.

Don't wanna get too crazy.

Life is great.

Another little letter.

Dear Weather,

Please be sunny the next couple of days

so that some very special people

can come visit me and Kenzie!

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

{and if you can't be sunny, 

could you at least make the roads bearable 

so they can get here!}

Much Love,

Madison

{as much as I love you rain...I am wishing you far far away...just for this week. You see, you cause snow and make the roads too dangerous to drive on, and the airplanes delayed. So please don't come!}

60 minutes.

How much can you actually accomplish in an hour?

Run an errand.

Go to spin class.

Sit in traffic.

Get an oil change.

When you think about it...

an hour isn't very long.

Sixty minutes.

Thirty-six hundred seconds.

That's it.

Well, in an hour, I can watch one episode of One Tree Hill.

And I am happy to say...that we are caught up!!

You see, I have this little tradition.

Every summer I pick a TV show that I have never seen before.

And start it from the beginning.

Summer of Senior year in High School: Friends

Freshman Summer: Alias

Sophomore Summer: The OC

This past summer

{April of 2010}

Lauren and I decided on One Tree Hill

and I am happy to say that last night we finally caught up to present day.

10 months

8 seasons

167 episodes

later

we did it!

It is pretty exciting.

On another happy note.

Today is my Nonnie's birthday!

My Nonnie is one of my best friends

{And probably my #1 blog reader..thanks Non!}

She is an amazing grandma and I love her very much!

Happy Birthday Nonnie

{don't worry...I won't make a numbered list for your age}

You're the best!

Enjoy your President's Day!

A little letter.

Dear Pharmacology,

Why do you have to be a 3 hour class?

Can't you tell we are all very very sleepy.

And bored.

That's all I am saying.

Thank goodness for the little 5 minute breaks.

They are very helpful.

Love,

Madison
