jennie chopped off her hurrr say whaaat?

for months I've been toying with the idea of cutting my hair.

it all started with one night when all my long layers fell behind my back.. and sadie was like JENNIE DON'T MOVE!! and she snapped this picture:

she since has been pleading with me to chop it off.

so I finally decided... why not?! I haven't gone short since 3rd grade, and it's the perfect time to do it because A) I do not have a boyfriend to beg me not to and B) ... well yep that's pretty much it. haha.

so today I left the house looking like this...

and after a few hours at the salon (all thanks to my starving student card... free hair cut baby!)

...I came back looking like this!

I basically love it. :D

..even though I asked for collar bone length... apparently the shoulder is the new collar bone haha. but I really should have known to ask for an inch longer than what I really wanted. I've been getting my hair done for FOREVER and really I know by now that it usually ends up shorter than you ask. but you know what? I LOVE IT! and my hair grows so fast anyway so it's no big deal.

yay for change!!!

now go chop off your hair! ;)

gah.

you know when the first few seconds of a song just tuuuuuuug at your heartstrings?

just happened.

a walk to remember... FOREVER!

aw crap.

I shouldn't have gotten on youtube.

somehow I found my way to videos about soldiers surprising their loved ones with early homecomings.

I especially love the ones where they surprise their wives!!!

and now I'm all day-dreamy about marriage.. dang it! haha.

I just can't wait to have a permanent hug-buddy.

that is all.

Ethan

did you know... I'm a nanny for a boy named ethan?!

his halloween costume!

his mom is the director of the preschool/kindergarten at BYU and needs someone to watch him while she works. 

he's been coming to work with her and has had a college student nanny since he was 3 months old.. and he just turned six!

he. is. a. GENIOUS.

it all started on my first day when I was trying to describe to him how a certain object was so small it could fit in his pocket.

he excitedly said, "Yeah! It's so portable!"

-_-

at 5 years old!

now that seems like such a silly and easy word for him to know, because his vocabulary is ridonkulous.

he knows everything about planes and trains... he builds models of aircraft carriers out of cardboard... he can master a computer like it's nothing... and he understands all those "big" words you say. no need to dumb it down. this kid is seriously brilliant!

aaaaaand seriously hyper when he discovers the video recorder on your phone. ;)

"This is the rudest thing I've ever done! I'm so pumped!"

one of my roomies allison had to watch a documentary yesterday for one of her classes..

so I decided to go with her and make it a date!

as I was finishing getting ready, I looked at my long straight hair and said out loud, "why don't I ever do anything with my hair?"

immediately, sadie exclaimed from the other room, "can I do it?!"

reason #473 she is a keeper.

5 minutes later my hair looked like this:

no big deal, right?

thanks sadie. :)

my date with allison was awesome. the documentary was super interesting, although a bit on the long side, and we were both happy when it was over so we could retrieve FOOOOOOOOOD.

we went to sammy's and partook of utter deliciousness. I had a chicken poly style and a banana cream pie shake. 

folks. don't think twice. just go. and indulge.

later, sadie and I went to spencer's apartment to watch hercules.

there's something so magical about watching a movie you haven't seen since you were 8. gah.

I made sure to set my alarm to 11:10 so I wouldn't forget the most important minute of my life!! (okay.. I'm deeper than that... but you know what I mean.)

wish: MADE.

and just like that, 11:11 on 11/11/11 was over.

I couldn't believe how short and ordinary of a minute it was.

at 11:12 all I could say was "....really?"

which perfectly transitions me into my next topic...

parking.

we went to a play tonight (the elephant man... super good!)

when we got back to allison's car, we noticed the absolutely horrible parking job of our friendly truck-driving neighbor.

like, a thigh couldn't fit through there. a THIGH. and the amount of room he had on the other side was ridikuhlous.

allison needed assistance backing out...

...and upon leaving this note on the driver's window, I exclaimed the title of this blog post.

:)

I know... I'm a bit of an amateur...

I am a pro at one thing, however.

tonight at approximately 6:15 I purchased groceries, including a can of sour cream & onion pringles.

just now at approximately 11:05, I ate the last pringle in the can..........

"you know you're emotionally eating, when..."

11.11.11

as you probably already know...

today is 11.11.11!!

I've been waiting for this day for years!!

I knew that I would get 2 minutes today to make the most epic wish of my life..

first wish for it at 11:11 AM,

& then make sure it's solidified at 11:11 PM!

oh but don't worry, I already completely spaced and forgot to make a wish at 11:11 AM.

-_-

really jennie? really?!

all I can say is...

11:11 PM... 

it. 

is. 

ON!!!!!

camera bag!

so since I'm photographing my friend's wedding in a couple of weeks.. I decided it was time to hanker down and buy a real camera bag!

I had been waiting for the one I wanted to come back in stock, but there wasn't enough time to wait, so I just let go of my perfectionism and bought this equally cute one.

more expensive, yes /: but more room to grow into! and I love the purple interior. :)

can't wait for it to get here!

see all of kelly moore's bags!
