I got this post idea from the wonderful and lovely Kayla.  I thought it was such a fun way to get all the things going on in life currently down in one post! So here I am trying it out!

I went to Moab this weekend with Zac and my best friend Emily. Zac had to go down for a week of work, so Em and I decided to tag along for the weekend. It was so nice being someplace so warm, and just spending all day outside. It was a much needed mini adventure, and I already want to go back!

loving: being able to wear shorts! I don't know what is happening with Utah weather right now, but I am all about it. It has seriously been so nice outside, and I spend all the time I can sitting outside on the hammock enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.

working: on getting through this current semester without completely going crazy. I only have 15 credits left until I graduate, and I am just so beyond ready to be done!

obsessed with: the new sheets I convinced Zac in letting me get for his (soon to be our) apartment. We recently made a quick stop at Ikea, and the sheets I have been eyeing for like a year now were on the most perfect bed looking so pretty, and I decided they finally had to be mine! They have yellow flowers on them, so obviously I am all sorts of happy!

cooking: lots of annie's mac and cheese. For some reason Smith's has decided to have like a super sale on them for like a month now, so Zac and I are all sorts of happy about it!

reading: Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler. I actually just finished this yesterday. I listened to the audio book in my car, and I have to be completely honest... I wasn't really a fan of it. I didn't hate it and at times actually enjoyed it, but it isn't a book I would recommend to a friend. I was pretty bummed, because I really wanted to like it! Oh well, you can't have everything.

listening to: Hozier's album. Zac bought it a couple of weeks ago, and I just barely downloaded it onto my phone to listen to while exploring Moab. Zac and I have family sharing on iTunes, and it is pretty wonderful. Thank  you family sharing!

a little sad at: Zac being in Moab for the entire week. I swear it is even harder knowing he is only a four hour car ride away! Like anytime I have ANY free time I think about just driving down just because I can. It is terrible you guys!

wasting time: on Instagram as always. I swear, I am always checking it! Mostly looking for new places to add to my list of places to explore. I probably need to stop seeing as the list is getting a little long. Anyone want to help me get cracking on all these hikes I have piled up?!

laughing at: Scrubs, Scrubs, and SCRUBS! Zac has gotten me hooked, and with him out of town (and our watching of Friends being put on hold until he gets home) I have been watching ALL OF THE EPISODES!

looking forward to: spending my REI dividend! New camping stove, and sports bras anyone?!

appreciating: best friends who take a break from homework to go search TJ Maxx for rompers even though all the ones they have are horrible, and instead having wonderful conversations on the car drive home.

excited: that the wedding date continues to get closer, and we are now down to 163 more days!! It finally feels like it is getting close you guys! Save-the-dates are currently being made, and it is like totally real now!

experiencing: horrible stomach shenanigans caused by dairy, and pretending that it isn't caused by dairy because cheesecake.

grateful for: a weekend spent with my best friend hiking around Moab, and Zac being able to sneak over and camp with us the one night we stayed. Also for my family (mostly mama) who took such good care of our plants and kitten while we were gone. I seriously have the most incredible humans in my life you guys.

You guys!! Finals are almost done! Of course I have the one professor that decides to have the last final on the last day of finals week. Who even does that?! I had my second to last final this morning... at 8am. Like I am sorry, but no. Campus is about thirty minutes from my house, so I was not exactly the happiest or most awake human this morning. I was expecting to be the only human on campus, but apparently A BILLION professors decided to have their exams at 8am as well. It should be illegal. 

I am always so impressed with those humans, boys AND girls, that have the will power to get up and get completely ready that early in the morning. Like I am seriously impressed, especially since I went to my final without brushing my hair, no makeup, and wearing the shirt I went to bed in. I brushed my teeth, and that felt successful! Haha Maybe one of these days I will be one of those humans, but it ain't looking to hot at the moment. And ask me if I have gotten ready since then.... yeah, that would be a no. Ask me if I feel bad about it... yeah, that would also be a no. I did go running, so I have done something productive. Hey, and I'm blogging which we all know is like a once in a lifetime occurrence lately. Haha Sorry about it.

How have finals been for everyone else? I have been pleasantly surprised with how my finals have gone so far. I am pretty sure my professors felt bad just for me, so they decided to go easy on me. I'm not complaining. Things will start getting more interesting as soon is school is done. On Wednesday I am heading down to Moab for the weekend, so you best believe I will be taking ALL THE PICTURES!! So yeah, you can look forward to that I guess.

For all of you that still have finals, GOOD LUCK! For all of you that don't... Take my tests for me please and thank you. 

p.s- I woke up to snow on my car this morning, and I am still upset about it. Seriously Utah, get it together and give me summer! Also, my Head and the Heart tickets came in the mail and I WANT TO CRY!

Moab

Alright, so I'm posting twice in one day. Is there some kind of rule about not doing that? Oh well, my blog right? You guys, Moab... I have lived in Utah basically my entire life, and I have NEVER been to Moab until two weeks ago. Living in Utah you see all the pictures of everyone spending their breaks there with family and friends. It is just part of living here, so whenever I told people I had never been they usually proceeded to freak out. Well guess what guys? I WENT! And it was more beautiful than any photograph could ever represent. It just has such a cool atmosphere about it. Everyone there is just so happy, and loving life. It just makes you want to never leave!

Here are a couple photos I took while our short little weekend there. I promise these pictures do it no justice.

Do you see that tiny little human under the arch?

Now do you see that tiny little human REPELLING off of the gigantic arch?!

TRAIN!!

Excuse the face I am making in this picture.. I'm not really sure what is happening! 

And I end with a fossilized dinosaur foot print.... legit!!
