No sleep weekend

Friends life is crazy! Let’s just do a little recap. Also I didn’t take pictures because I’m STUPID but it was still good. And it still happened even if I didn’t document it.

So I started my new job, and I LOVE IT. I work with amazing people and I get to find fun people to interview, conduct their interviews or write their questions for a live interview, work on developing new shows, and get to spend time in my own office. Seriously, it’s the best:)

I spent Friday going out to dinner with one of my best friends, heading to Comedy Sportz (which was HILARIOUS. Go to it, it’s the funniest thing ever.) Then I headed to frozen yogurt, a 90’s dance party, hot tubbing at Glenwood, and a late night movie which makes everything funny. Then Saturday was my sisters lacrosse game (she scored a goal. She got all the athletic genes and she’s amazing!) shopping and lunch with my cute family, the football game (I sat front row the first half. Which was amazing. Thanks Alex, Jeff, Brian and Weston!), multiple movie showings, and a late night talk with an awesome friend.

Yeah, it was a good weekend:)

Now my Sunday is consisting of writing missionaries, Smartfood Popcorn (I bought that party size bag YESTERDAY. It’s almost empty. I have a problem) and Brother Bear with Rachel. We decided that it was an acceptable Sabbath movie since it has an uplifting message.

Happy Sunday everyone:)
And happy 2 years and 2 months of dating Mr. Low. 

Cocoa beans and the start to my life

Folks, today was good.

 I started my new job at BYU Radio as a student producer and I LOVE IT.

I got into my major. I am officially in the journalism program at BYU. You could say I’m a little happy.

I made chicken and sweet potatoes for dinner. Domestic of me, eh?

I went and got cupcakes and hot chocolate with the most awesome Relief Society Presidency ever.

And tomorrow begins the weekend. I am as busy as I can possibly be, but things are still so good. 
Happy Thursday everyone! And happy 9 months down to my very favorite missionary. 9 months!?!?! When did that happen?? But yay:)

See ya soon…..

She’s off to the MTC and then to Australia. So I have friends all over the world now, from Japan to Italy to Australia to France to Canada to California….the list goes on and on. And soon I’ll have one in London (Yes I am incredibly jealous.) 
Lau is going to be an incredible missionary. She’s going to do amazing things for the people in Australia, and she will find her “forever friends” that have been waiting for her. If you have questions about what missionaries in my church do, feel free to ask or check it out here
Happy Wednesday everyone, and Sister Faber? Happy mission:)

Smile Kids

Friends. It’s amazing that even though life is stressful, and hard, and sometimes just no fun, that it’s still good. I have amazing friends and an amazing family. I love where I live, I love where I go to school, I love the people I know and the Church that I belong to. My best friends are seriously Heaven sent, and when I’m with them I can tell that Heaven isn’t far away. This morning we got to spend some time with Lauren before she leaves on her mission tomorrow (yes it’ll be a sappy post, it’s fine). This will probably also be a sappy post actually.

If a year ago you had told that I’d be where I am today, I wouldn’t have believed you. I have four of the best friends on the planet. And today, our breakfast, dorm crashing, dance partying, and singing, and goodbyes was just more proof that they are the best. We were missing Alli, and then Lauren will leave tomorrow, and then Sarah will leave, and then who knows. But I do know that we will be best friends forever. Sure, there are ups and downs to our friendships. We aren’t perfect, and we won’t ever be. But I do know that these girls will always have my back. They’ve proved that time and time again.

So I’m thankful to a Heavenly Father who knew that I would need these forever friends to get me through (yes Lau I stole your forever friends phrase. Sorry:/) So here’s to looking forward to writing you on your missions, to being at each others weddings, to more trips and dance parties, to being Aunt Mads and always being there for each other.

Happy Sappy Tuesday:)

Homecoming, I’m comin, my sweet escape

Folks the days keep escaping me. I have been busy busy busy and I need to find time to blog! SO this post is late, but please forgive me.

This is what’s been up:)

My gorgeous sister went to her first high school dance:) Sorry but I have to brag…is she not beautiful! She and Ben had a great time:)

I finally got to be at home and celebrate my birthday! The weekend was full of Tucanos and football and one of my FAVORITE meals. Cod, rice pilaf, green beans, and Red Lobster biscuits. Does it get better than that??

Ice cream cake roll for the millionth birthday in a row. It’s my favorite. Sue me.

Then I got to spend part of the week with this kid while he got surgery. And he’ll probably kill me for putting this picture up…..oh well!

Soooo that was LAST weekend. Can’t wait to see what this weekend holds!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Here’s lookin’ at you

So here’s what our life is looking like now.

These beauties are courtesy of Olivia:)

This beauty is courtesy of Heidi and partly Ethan for helping us figure out the whole nail thing

And here’s to Heidi and her mom. ARE THEY NOT SO CRAFTY!?!?!
So I went on a great date yesterday! Mini-golfing with a twist (the twist was we had to do random crazy things on our first shot. Like hitting it with our eyes closed or between the legs), then dinner with a twist (I ordered for him, he ordered for me), then cheesecake, no twist. You can’t put a twist on cheesecake. 
Anyway I’m off to school. To learn and stuff. Then it’s home sweet home alllllll weekend long:) Hope you all have a fantastic weekend planned!
Happy Friday everyone!

Country fried chicken

I’ve had a few requests to see my new purse….

So here it is! I’m in love with it. It’s black and brown which I normally HATE, but this mix on an accessory works. It can go with my black OR brown outfits. It’s super professional looking which is AWESOME and exactly what I want. AH it’s just great. Judge me for getting so excited about a purse. BUT REALLY IT’S A PURSE.

Also. Look at the dinner I cooked:) Fried chicken, mashed red potatoes, carrots, and creamy chicken gravy. Sometimes I can be domestic:) Shout out to my mama for teaching me everything:) Also sorry for the blurriness of my picture. It was just sitting there and I was STARVING so I snapped a picture and ATE:)

I’m so busy folks. Between Student Alumni and my calling and being social and work…and oh that school thing. Yeah between all of that I’m swamped. BUT I will blog as often as I can:) It’s therapy for me, really:)

So life is busy, but grand. School is hard but I think I’m doing ok…so far hahaha. AND for any of you BYU folks who want to be involved, joining Student Alumni is the way to go! It’s not too hard, not too many hours, but you get to meet some awesome people and give back to BYU! I’m in charge of the Food Drive and I know you’re DYING to be on my committee. But really. Email me and we’ll get it all figured out:) You’ll love it, I promise!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Weekend tales

This weekend was fantastic. I don’t have enough picture evidence of what I did, because I forget all the time. But nevertheless…it was fantastic. Jonas came to visit and it’s always a treat to get to see him and hang out.

It started with buying a new purse. I could end right there and the weekend is fantastic, right. BUT there’s more. Then it was off for my FAVORITE food, Thai from Bangkok Grill. If you live in Provo/Orem. GO THERE. Then we went to the Evidance concert by BYU. It was….OUT OF THIS WORLD. I loved it so much. The dancers were SUPER talented and the whole idea of the show was incredible. Then it was cookies and Netflix.

Saturday was breakfast and a Relief Society activity (which was super fun, PS). Then it was shopping and making brownies and getting ice cream and then…..

THE GAME!!!

Had a lovely time with these lovelies and some awesome guys in our ward. We lost (don’t ask me about it. I will be angry), but it was a super fun time anyway!
All in all, it was a good weekend. Now on to a suuuuuuper busy week and then I get to kick back and relax with my family all weekend long! Sooo excited:)
Happy Sunday everyone:)

I have been busy…

I have been super busy lately and this poor blog has been neglected for a few days. BUT it’s all good reasons, I promise!

I have been busy writing essays. Who knew a communications major/art history minor would require essays. (Don’t worry. That sentence was dripping with sarcasm.) It’s just a little more than I anticipated. But I love writing so it’s fine. Also my mom edits my papers and that makes them about 10000000000000% better. So thanks mom:)

I have also been busy planning Relief Society activities, yeah the first one is called Temple Run with the whole jungle/Temple Run theme. Best part? Otter pops at the end. Whatever it’s genius.

I have also been busy joining Student Alumni and becoming a Communication Director. Yeah. It was a whirlwind and I’m not sure what I’m doing. But the food drive that I’m in charge of will be great. I think? (Fingers crossed!) Get involved at college. It’s more fun than sitting at home and watching Netflix!

I have also been busy being crafty (it’s mostly Heidi who is crafty. But really, she’s amazing) and making things like this:

Burlap, leopard print, and pink. It’s perfect
I have also been busy having too much fun. Exhibit A? Dressing up like pirates (yes I have a peg leg. Made out of tinfoil…) going to Krispy Kreme to get donuts, deciding the line is too long, and then going to get In N’ Out shakes instead.
Yay for pirates and wardie friends!
So that’s what’s been going on in my neck of the woods. Life is good! It is oh, so good.
Happy Thursday everyone!
