it's a beautiful morning.

it's been a while.

good thing we've been making good use of our time.

reading, facebooking, writing and summering.

also we should add camping, hiking and vacationing.

and burning.

we should add that too.

taylor o. got burned real bad.

what's that one type of burn that comes

right after a 2nd degree burn?

oh, 3rd degree, that's right.

she got a third degree burn.

don't worry, though, she's just fine.

and plus, she has another neat scar to add to her

rather impressive collection of "battle" wounds.

we like battles and wounds,

and we especially like them when they're combined.

anyway. that's all for now.

we'll keep you posted, and we'll keep posting.

---taylor & taylor.

p.s. redsicovered this beauty.

sooner or later.

here's the thing.

we leave for jerusalem in 78 days.

thatcher has been home for almost 3 weeks.

the last day of classes is tomorrow.

taylor b. got sunburned real bad.

taylor o. played a ROCKIN' show on saturday

(videos tbp).

we like provo.

LIG.

life is good.

it's my life.

1. ice cream cones on our bicycles.

2. veggie avocado sandwiches.

3. catch in the park.

4. bicycle flash mob.

5. blossom petals blowing off the trees.

6. overall shorts and sandals.

7. sunshine.

8. a great book and visits from old friends.

just a few things (8 things, to be precise)

that made friday one of the best days yet.

spring semester is rockin'.

---taylor & taylor.

questions, comments, concerns?
take it up with this facebook page.

i've been to london, paris, tokyo, georgia and new orelans.

july has clearly been a rough blogging month.
some months are like that, you know?
rough blogging months.
you hear us.

as far as we can tell,
summer is just ticking away.
we're sure you can tell also.
it's been pretty HOT too.
we got to cool off a little bit, though.
in st. george.
fun stuff.
pictures TBP.

for now, we'd like to inform you of something fun.
plans on thursday night?
any thursday night?
every thursday night for the rest of the summer?
cool.
well, come to some free dive-in concerts,
with some cool local artists.
it's fun, it's chill, it's free.
here is the facebook page,
which is really the only kind of page worth mentioning.

see ya.

"do you have any of those muffins left?"
---leslie.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

hiiiiiiiiii.

thursday was maybe the best night ever.

we played the hunger games.

don't know what that is?
look it up.

thanks shalaya.
capture the flag was so much
more than we ever hoped it would be.

"maybe we got lost somewhere,
we can't move on and we can't stay here.
maybe we just had enough,
well, maybe we ain't meant for this love.
you and me tried everything,
but still that mockingjay won't sing..."
---rob thomas.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

crying/trying/drying out.

maybe this is the longest we've ever gone without posting,
maybe it's not.
we're not keeping track.

it's kinda, sorta, maybe summer for us at this point.

kinda: because taylor o. is still taking a few classes
at BYU for spring semester.

sorta: because utah hasn't invited summer to the party yet.

maybe: because summer isn't summer when we're not together,
and not with all of our friends.

that's right. we aren't living together.
taylor b. packed up and moved back to the big city last weekend.
taylor o. visited another city: paris.
just kidding. mexico city. but they're similar.
stupid volcano.

so what have we been up to lately?

well, taylor b. went to the train concert with ben.
probably the best concert she's ever been to.
pat crowd surfed, and invited some "fans" up on stage
to sing with him.
please. they didn't even know the lyrics,
and what was their reward? t-shirts.
and hugs from the band.
but no hard feelings.

obviously, taylor o. got a little sun in mexico with the fam.
and when we say a little sun, that is exactly what we mean.

school has been going well for t.o.
she hearts physical science.

taylor b. basically lives at work,
and she likes it.

we're excited for the summer to actually get started,
and for everyone to officially finish up with finals.
meanwhile we have friends all over the world:
london, jerusalem, tokyo, ecuador, ohio, albuquerque.
you name it.
pretty crazy.

we haven't seen each other in 2 weeks,
and we've been in the same state.
that is kinda, maybe, sorta a new record.
and we're all about new records,
and records in general.

"what are those for?" ---stanger.
"train." ---taylor b.
"no, those ones." ---stranger.
"the train concert." ---ben coburn.
(stranger lights up a cig).
"ohh. are there gonna be any good bands there?" ---stranger.

we love that---taylor & taylor.
