the pre-date : apple picking

so i was in on this part... 

jesse picked me up around 11 to take me to the elegant farmer!

of course we got cheeseburgers because thats what we do.

also mcdonalds wasnt serving breakfast anymore. :(

we arrived & waited in the long line for baskets.

(you'd think it would move fast since all you do is grab one & keep walking)

but we passed the time with picture taking.

oh yeah.

then we finally made it to the apples!

i love him. 

best part: at one point we got really really tired & layed down under a tree & a lady thought we were dead...

the baskets get really heavy with all those apples in them!

lip gloss girl

so I KNOW that i need to post pictures & stories from the big weekend...

and those things are coming...

but...

this seems necessary.

she put on lip gloss for 10 minutes.

she's crazy & we love her!

senior pic what up

the first one has been posted! 

a week in october

this week my friend jennifer (pictured below) introduced me to 

something that changed my life.

YO MAMA!

haha.. but really there's a little frozen yogurt shop

in a little village in a suburb of Milwaukee.

& it is called yo mama.

& it is the greatest! 

i chose orange sherbet & jennifer stayed classy with... cake batter? im not sure.

all i know is i loaded on the fruit & it was so good!

i luh her.

we sat on the bench. we talked. we talked some more.

we got stared at by a creepy, half-haired crossing guard.

multiple times.

but it was still fun because i haven't seen this girl in so long &

I'VE BEEN MISSING HER :)

oh here's a crappy ipod picture of her cool new apartment! 

this is jesse pretending to like doing his homework:

check out that lady in the background.

SCORE! 

as some of you may know, tomorrow is sweetest day:)

i received this lovely candygram from my sister during study hall today:)

isn't she sweet!

tomorrow is a BIG DAY!

remember last month when i told you jesse is taking me on a surprise date?

well tomorrow is the day!

then sunday his family is taking me to the packer game.

j u l i a

quote of the day: "make like frankenstein & bolt"

studying is better with friends

im serious. when i study alone i go crazy.

yes, i get more done but still crazy. 

this week i got to do homework with johanna!!

i LOVE her & she is such a great friend.

we'd work & be quiet & randomly have heart to hearts in between. she's so great.

her BIRTHDAY is coming up! pumped!

then our good pal lindsay showed up & worked for a while with us.

Lindsay is such a sweetheart. clearly i took some quality creeper shots

of them doing homework.

good thing they love me!!....?

this guy was a champ.

finger mustache.

i love spending time with these two lovely ladies. especially at starbucks.

because...

starbucks is my favorite always!

well... besides mary of course.

enjoy your beautiful october week :)

the ipod story

this is the part of my blog where i compile all my newest photos from my ipod & phone

they dont necessarily have a great meaning but they are unpredictable & fun.

 jesse taking 12 years to decide what to eat for dinner

at carrini's :) 

this was the best birthday card i have ever gotten. it was so meaningful 

& jesse's note inside was so cute!

carolyn at lunch. 

we make it interesting.

OK so the picture above is actually a very sad picture. 

as i was unpacking shipment the other day, an item came wrapped in this

"bubble wrap."

i, being alone, got super excited to pop it & picked it up awaiting the satisfaction.

but then

it was not bubble wrap.

it was a poser.

its ok because later in the week i went to TOPPERS with two of my very favorite people.

we got macncheese pizza, a very interestingly delicious combination.

this is from a couple weeks ago when jesse & i went to applebees.

we never get dessert when we go out to dinner.

this time we did & it was filled with oreos..

obviously making it the best ever.

because...

oreos are the best ever.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxooxox

too much?

untitled

you know when you've had a really bad day...

and it turns into something beautiful?

i swear sometimes i think jesse can read my moods even when he's not with me.

i've been stressed & busy & haven't gotten to see him much & after a very, very, very

long day, i see this sitting on my kitchen table.

as my great granny would have said,

"he's a prince of a guy"
