#74 driving.

theres something about driving alone across idaho thats so peaceful.
today was exceptionally pretty.
the sun was actually shining and it was 48 degrees.
it just makes me feel like i have so much potential!
like i can go anywhere and do anything!
maybe its the country music mixed with the open-ness of idaho.
the spotted hill just go on forever.
i fantasize about all the little towns im driving past that i dont even know exist.
how simple the lives of those people are.
something about small towns intruiges me.
maybe its that those people have so much more to discover.
maybe its that everyone knows everyone- and their business.
or just that those people live through their own manual labor.
either way, its something i just love.
it always clears my head and gives me new hope for the future.

this is my favorite part of the whole drive.

the cement wall just before you climb the hill to glenns ferry.

#73 the boys & girls club of ada county.

this was the job i had from the time i moved back to boise in 2008,
until i moved to salt lake in 2010.
i loved it.
yea i dreaded going to work some days.
and sure i wanted to slap some kids sometimes.
but in all,
it was fun.
i mean, i got paid to listen to music, draw, play pool, eat snacks, play dodgeball.
sweet life right?
and it was.
we even got to go on cool field trips!
when i left in march it was so sad.
there were lots of tears and presents from the kids.
but i was kind of burnt out so i was ready to be done.
still sad of course.
and i hadnt been back since i moved.
well i had some free time today and thought id stop by and say hi to a few of the staff members.
little did i know there were still TONS of kids there who
1- not only remembered me,
but 2, LOVED me!!!
it was the greatest thing.
as soon as i walked in the door a girl screamed "LINDSEY!!!!!!!" and ran and gave me a huge hug!!
it was the cutest thing!
the last 2 summers i was there i was in charge of the 1st & 2nd graders and i didnt realize how attached some of them really were!
the kids then ran into every room of the building yelling "lindseys back!!!'
i got ambushed by like 12 kids all trying to hug me!
it was the cutest.
and then they all just wanted to hold my hand the whole time
and play every game with me!
some of them kept asking me for things like i worked there,
and i went right on ahead like i did work there!
ha.
heres some pictures from the club over the years!

#72 hoodies.

ok, im kind of getting bad at this...
what can i say?
i've been busy and now its almost christmas!!!!
BUT
to get back on topic
HOODIES.
ive realized recently that im a complete t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.
i dont even own a nice pair of slacks, fancy high heels, or a classy top that costs more than $20.
im too cheap for that.
im too tall to wear heels.
[think about it...i already tower over everyone]
and so it is that ive come to love my jeans and tshirts.
and now, because its cold,
hoodies.
in the last year i went from owning 2 to now having 7 or more.
lets see i have:
- boys & girls club one.
- brads fox one.
- my blue fox one.
- my capital throwers one
- grey one from flerika.
- red one from san diego.
- white under armour.
i love them.
they are so comfortable and keep me toasty always.
im pretty sure i look like trash because that is literally all i wear these days.
and then i sleep in them.

#71 skype.

ok so id heard people talk about this but i just didnt get the point.
well then a friend of mine was ALWAYS asking me to skype,
but i was too embarrassed to tell him i didnt have a camera.
so i just kept lying and saying i couldnt i was too busy.
until FINALLY i bought one.
but dont worry i didnt tell him that.
i told him i borrowed one
:]
clever me.
anyway...skypes been good to me.
we skype almost every sunday.
its a wholesome activity, right?
and you can even play games!
sometimes i get to 3 way skype with kelli in draper and eric eric in provo!
flerika and i sometimes used to skype too.
but now shes all serious living in pocatello!
