three friends.

i have many best friends. i think that's allowed. but, these are two of them. i'm lucky enough to not only call them best friends (and crazies) but also roommates :)

we went to the temple today. and i love, love, loved. it.

the end.

now i get to wait for 45 minutes and then register for classes! hoorah!

cupid & co.

check out my new song below! i messed up a few times, but this was about the 80th time I'd played it that day and the third time at recording. so i just posted it anyway :) it's a work in progress and it's BRAND NEW. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think & repost it/share it if you like it. Thanks!

eyes.

eyes are the window to the soul, right?

My roomie took some photos today (she's talented) and this was one of my favorites. i've always loved my eye color & and i think this photo is pretty!

also, as a sidenote, I wrote a new song over the weekend! I am going to try and record it to Youtube and post it on here in the next day or two.

goodnight -- it IS 1:45 a.m. afterall!

Cover of the Week

For my radio show each Thursday, I do a feature called "Cheri's Cover of the Week" (reallllly creative title, I know). Anyway, I spent a good few hours tonight finding some awesome covers on Youtube to share with the Power 91 listeners. Here was one of my top favorite finds (that just might be on the radio tomorrow at 2:45. So, check it out. Listen to my show! Available on live stream here. Listen to me make a fool of myself. :)

And, here's a cover for you to enjoy.

Crap. I can't resist. Listen to this one too:

i knitted you a hat..

I returned from Spring Break on Sunday. I was sad. I was homesick. I quite didn't know (and still don't know) what I was to do with my life or where I was supposed to be. Then, one of my best friends, Kelly, came over. I don't know how many times Kelly has been there for me this year -- too many to count for sure! She has listened to my problems more times than necessary :) But, when she got to my house, she told me to close my eyes & hold open my hands. Then, she placed this beauty in them:

it's an owl hat. remember this post? I realized I now have the three things I posted about that day. Well, Kelly decided to make me a hat herself. Yep, she crocheted it. It was a late Christmas/birthday/MLK Jr./St. Patty's/etc. present & I love it. She is so talented. It makes me happy just looking at it! Thank you Kelly! :)

title post stolen from this song.

i hope you've had a lovely week! now it's back to reality (school)...for six weeks ;)

it's here.

the time has come. the day i've dreaded for so long. the day my sisters and friends warned me about.

"there will come a time when you will have to watch what you eat."

but, i didn't think that day would come now. during my sophomore year at school. when stress level is high and there are a lot of things going on. of course, that's the PERFECT time for my speedy metabolism to catch up with me.

i guess i really can't eat icecream every day.

or 10 cookies when my mom makes them (even if they are delicious).

maybe i should re-enroll in that gym class i had last spring.

sigh.

i dont want to be a grown up!

but, 10 pounds off, here we come.

goal? 10 pounds off by SPAIN. Let's get that rockin' beach body :)

pretty airport.

--the madrid airport--

i'll be seeing it in just...75 days!

tumblr.

i have a new blog. except it's going to basically only be pictures, inspirational/happy things, etc. it's a tumblr. and it will rock :)

the little peacock @ tumblr. if you want to see random loves, go there. this blog will still have all the "look into the depths of my soul" posts :)

but, i wanted a tumblr. everybody is doin' it :)

off to class! peace.
