Picture OVERload.

and when I say overload. I mean 24. 

all.from.my.iPhone.

&myhusbands. 

First Row: Parade of Homes. 

Second Row: Quality time with Baby K.

Third Row: My skirt and cell phone case. {out of control}, I asked for "a lemon" at a Chinese Restaurant and literally got a lemon, and we started crossfit. I've been sore for weeks. 

 Date night with my boo. My necklace was a birthday present from my boo as well.

Now, I have troubles wearing my "look-a-like".

We also went to this AMAZING pizza and gelato place in Salt Lake.

Settebello's. Go. Now. 

 Dan and I had the great idea to move and start school in the same week.

Rough.

But I LOVE my new home. 

First Row: Fall weather {lovinggg it} and school is my new life.

Second Row: My favorite boys, our refinished TV stand, and um...my beautiful kitchen island.

Third Row: Facetiming with Maddie, birthday cupcakes, and my second birthday present. Everyone needs a Clarisonic. Changed my life.

Thats been our lives for the past couple of weeks. We are finally get used to our different schedules and finding balance in our lives. Maybe I'll find balance in blogging and start that up again. We will see:).

Happy Weekend:)

Fiji

***UPDATE***
This is Dan- I had to edit this before too many people saw this (not that that would really happen). I could have left it as "Fuji" but I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to go to a factory where camera film is made. Embarrassing. 

I'm finally watching The Bachelorette.
Someone take me to Fiji. Please.

I'm not feeling 100 percent. Therefore if you need me, you'll find me on my couch.

I am searching in my brain for something interesting to blog about.

I have nothing. For real nothing. 

I have a couple things on my mind (or three...)

First off, I'm meeting a fellow blogger in real life on Friday, Katie I am so excited to meet you!

Second, I have officially become a lip gloss girl. 

I have always just been a chapstick girl. Always. Lip gloss was always too sticky for me. 

Bare Escentuals lip gloss wins it for me. Of course, I got mine at the outlet. 

Way cheaper. Search for a Bare Escentuals Outlet in your area. I got my lip gloss for $6.50--it's like $15 in the store. Yikes. 

Third, Dan is driving back to Texas today. I'm really excited. 

Mainly because we had a really good schedule when it came to talking to each other 

{I don't recommend long distance}

 but with me going on vacation and him taking finals--then spending time in Denver with his brother. 

We just don't have that schedule anymore. 

I guess I'm just a schedule type of girl. So it's been difficult. 

So, even though, I am not jealous of his 17 hour road trip to my favvvoriteee state ever. I am so ready for us to find a good schedule and maybe for us to finally be together:):):). 

I got my second part of my Praxis scores back.

Excuse my bragging moment, but...

I scored a 188 out of 200.

I am a little Miss Smart Pants.

After being so stressed and having multiple break downs about these dangs tests.

I feel so relieved that they are done and I passed.

If I didn't pass, my whole life would of been put on hold. 

For who knows  how long. I just wouldn't of been able to handle that. 

At All.

Well now that I have fallen in love with JP for the 15th time this summer.

I am going to be hang up all my clothes. I might have forgotten to mention that this girl:

Decided to play dress up. In my closet.

what the ish?

What the ish blogger?
You can't just go and delete Wednesday's post.
Seriously.

Lets recap, shall we?
My entire outfit was from the Gap.
I confessed that I rather have dirty hair then clean hair.
& I dibs Dan.
Overall, it was a post that I didn't want to be deleted.

I'm currently hanging out in my robe. Watching Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

Favorite quote:

"One day, I tweeted Justin over 100 times."

What the ish?

Maddie's home sick from school today. Joy.

This truly does reflect my life.

Keepcalm.Carryon

and don't forget its F.R.I.D.A.Y.

ps. I have a crush on JB.

Straight up.

Its Alright, Its okay.

I'm sitting on my bed and this cutie is brushing my hair all while telling me I need to get a
 haircut in the morning.
Thanks Maddie. I'm well aware of my split ends. 

{My baby sister, Maddie}

We were listening to this song and not talking.

Me typing, her brushing.

Once the song was over, she said...

"I like you, Ally."

I've just come to terms to not having a great old social life this summer, but I'm spending time with my family. Which was the soul purpose of coming home. To be with them.

So, I'm okay with it.

Happy Sunday!

KeepCalm.Carryon.

ps. I fell down the stairs today.

I'm in pain.

I blog via: Kelle Hampton

Kelle's blog has always inspired me.

I remember the day I read this.

{If you have a few hours--I recommend it}

Anyways.

Kelle reminded me that today is...

National Down Syndrome Day

My little sister, Maddie, has Down Syndrome.

I honestly couldn't imagine my life without her.

She has made our family stronger and better people.

She is always happy.

Hearing her say "I miss you, Ally" melts my heart.

Maybe sometimes I tear up, but really who wouldn't?

She gets into trouble and says things she probably shouldn't say.

She calls my dad by his actual name Michael and she thinks our mom is "her mom"

She brings joy into my life.

At.All.Times.

 She loves a good tan. Therefore, she is a Mullin.

 She is my sister&my best friend.

Plus, she makes family dinners so much more

E.N.J.O.Y.A.B.L.E

 When you're sad or upset. She knows--she'll be the first one to come ask you if your okay or to say sorry.  She has a heart of gold.

She'll change your life.

She changed my friends.

She changed mine.

She changed my families.

We wouldn't be a family without Madelynn.

My favorite quote from Kelle Hampton:
"My point is, throwing out “the R-word” is usually done in ignorance, and the fact that the word used inappropriately is meant to refer to a lack of intelligence is well, ironic. So, I guess this is all suffice to say, out of kindness and respect for everyone and the way this word is degradingly used, please amend the existence of this word in your vocabulary and teach your children to do the same.


Mary Oliver says, “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” And I think that’s what awareness is all about."

I don't want to add anymore to that.

Just remember everyone deserves respect.

Even if their not like you.

Wardrobe Wednesday Take 7

My sister, Maddie, is hilarious. I miss her little face everyday. Today on the phone she told me all about how Meghan has a baby in her belly, but what she did at school today is a top 5 of 

"Maddie's Top Funny Moments."

Today at school Maddie told her teacher this

"Braun you would look cuter with makeup on. Come to my house and I will put makeup on you. It's my mom's."

HAHAHAHHAAAAHA!!!!

Awesome.

Now, here's to Wardrobe Wednesday #7......

What I really can't wait for is to be able to wear ^this dress^ with sandals and have a bomb.com tan. My skin  needs The Jersey Shore. I mean ugh look how white I am. I don't suffer from seasonal depression, like I did last winter:), but a girl is just happier with a tan. Don't ya'll agree?!! While I'm talking about being tan, yesterday it was 50 degrees in Rexburg. It was such an awesome day. Today it's snowing and will be for the next week or so. Looks like I won't be retiring my favorite boots for awhile. 

2  more days until a 

Three Day Weekend

Bring it on Thursday and Friday.
