i don't want to be anything other than me.

reunited and it feels so good.

reunited cause we understood.

there's one perfect fit,

and sugar, this one is it.

we are both so excited

cause we're reunited.

and we are.

just like the song says.

it's been a while,

but time tells no tales.

like dead men.

we've got 43 days until jerusalem

and a whole lot of summer to enjoy

before that fateful day.

enjoy it with us, won't you?

text, call, facebook.

we're reachable at all locations.

tah, tah.

and then there's that.

hey tay bay.

let's get something(s) straight:

1. i like it when you ask all kinds of questions.

2. HOLY CRAP! "MISS" IN MISSIONARY. genius.

so my first point of the day is about google+ again.

tye-dye sent me an invite, so i feel like i'm on the "in."

really, though. google+ is legit.

i already sort of feel like facebook doesn't exist anymore.

after spending a little bit of time on my profile

and the profiles of my 2 friends on google+,

i went back to my facebook profile page.

i felt like i had time warped to an older,

less-cool social media decade.

so, there's that.

i'm here in provo tonight, which is fine.

i mean, it's provo.

mostly i just went to wendy's and got this:

and here's the thing with this guy.

see how all the berry sauce is positioned in the center

of the cup, with equal amounts of yogurt/ice cream

above and below it?

yeah, well, that picture is pri-tty misleading.

it all sits at the bottom.

gravity is working against me.

so then i sat on the grass and talked with

megan until the sprinklers kicked us off.

and then we just sat in a stairwell that wasn't even ours

until we kicked ourselves off.

that's when you know you're having fun.

other than the occasional child who walks in the store,

pulls everything off of every wall,

races up and down the track on the fitting stools,

and jumps into my personal bubble,

all while "meowing,"

(meeeow. meow. meow, meow, meow)

there is nothing to report here.

oh, and there's been some real rain.

yeah, there's that.

i have nothing else to say,

other than, this blog works.

it just does.

and we work it.

work it, girl.

i'm either having a really good day or a really bad day.

tay,

first things first.

please tell me you've seen the music video

that is currently posted here.

it might be one of the best things i've

ever seen. country and rap are like salt and pepper.

something funny that you said in your last post was

the part about the mountain being called "young maiden."

the fact that mountains have names over there

reminds me of somewhere.

oh, here. that's right.

any place that names its mountains has got to be rad.

anyway.

utah is, well, great.

better than great, if you ask me.

here are some great things about it:

1. the cooler, summer weather.

2. the occasional rain shower and overcast sky.

3. the hustle and bustle of the utahn summer.

that last one is my favorite point.

there is just nothing quite like the

hustle and bustle of a utahn summer.

speaking of hustle and bustle,

how 'bout them folks at google?

google+ and all that jazz.

you know what would be funny?

if our missionary friends got home

and facebook was gone, replaced with googlebook.

or whatever.

that would be a real hoot.

like, "let's go to facebook. PSYCHE!

facebook's gone. joke's on you!"

here's something else that's funny

from our favorite WRC employee:

top 10 things to say to break the ice with a customer:

10. i love your hair. may i run my fingers through it?

9. do those pants feel as tight as they look?

8. uh, no. you're totally going to crush that shoe.

7. is that her diaper i smell? may i check it?

6. may i hold your hand as we walk to the shoe wall?

5. does your husband always give the young girls

this much attention?

4. you've got something stuck in your teeth.

3. wow! how much do you weigh?

2. they look great on you! yes, it's supposed

to come out over the waistband like that.

1. that's, ibuyonlinetoscrewthelocalguy.com

oh, and one more thing,

bluejay

-the blue

+sunshine

-the shine

+something bug spray should have

-the last two letters

+the country andy is in right now

=

international cinema invite again

and a legit textersation.

odd.

well, that's all i've got. loves!

the hunger games.

dear taylor olson,

did you know that some of our

most-read blog posts are from last november

when we wrote letters back and forth?

what does that mean for you and i?

don't care.

here i am in sandy, ut. just like always.

i'm going to do a load of laundry today.

i washed and vacuumed my car on saturday.

i'm reading a really good book right now.

those are the updates.

how was your 4th?

i wore a flag shirt to work yesterday

and everyone at work was surprised for some reason.

apparently they had no idea how much

i love this great land.

i lead them in singing the national anthem

just before we opened the store.

duh.

i had some cafe rio yesterday

with ally, natalie, lisa and julie

and then we sat around a fire, made s'mores

and listened to fireworks.

julie's house has a great ear shot of all

kinds of fireworks, so there was no need to see them.

here's a question: why not entitle your next

facebook picture album, "real busy" ?

here's another question: why haven't

we jumped on the "words with friends"

bandwagon yet? it seems like just our

cup of bandwagon. kind of.

one more thing: ally told her sister i was coming

over and her sister replied with,

"is that the more outdoorsy taylor or the one who sings?"

it's cool that she reads our blog.

so here is a "shout out" to her.

so, tell me something pretty about europe.

i'll make sure you don't miss anything stateside.

here i am, holdin' down the fort in utah, like always.

what would it do without me?

time for breakfast.

ciao.

p.s. the book i'm reading isn't the hunger games.

but the hunger games is sitting on my bed shelf,

so it gets the honor of titling this post.

p.p.s. is that a boyfriend belt?

did your boyfriend leave it at your apartment

when he left at 12:00?
