Mondayz. Ya feel?

Why do the weekends go by so fast? In fact, how are the days in general going by so fast?? I swear Fall was only beginning like yesterday and now there's already snow on the mountains! It even snowed in Provo the other day (didn't stick)!

I have such mixed emotions about snow/winter. And I apologize if I've already talked about this on my blog before because I feel like a broken record over here. There is just something so magical about snowfall, especially the first snowfall of the season! I can't help but quote one of the most classic movies ever, Snow Day: "Anything can happen on a snow day..." hahahaha. It's just the days that come after snow that make me feel bleah. No more fresh fallen snow--just dirty piles of ice shoved onto the side of streets and sidewalks. Icy, dangerous roads, the frigid cold air, etc. etc. So basically, winter is like a houseguest that overstays their welcome. Really fun and exciting to have around at first, but ready to slap in the face and kick out a few weeks later. YA FEEEEEL?

Anyyyyyway, tomorrow I'm flying to Washington with Samson so until then I'm trying to check off everything on my super long, super stressful To-Do list. Trips/vacations are so much fun once you're on them but the days leading up to them can be soooo draining. The prep of making sure everything is taken care of while you're away make my head crazy sometimes. I'll be vlogging the whole trip though so I have that to look forward to and of course, the trip itself! Yay!

Speaking of vlogs.....

If you haven't yet, check out my latest vlog on my YouTube channel!

In this vlog I'm sharing our road trip to Arizona where I attend a Regional Emmy award show, meet David Koechner (aka Todd Packer from The Office), and make friends with a cactus. Also, Connor dresses up like a cowboy. It's all good stuff so watch along and I hope you enjoy!
