Hi. I'm alive. Stop freaking out.

So umm... I don't really have an excuse as to why I haven't been on here in so long besides the fact that I've written partial posts and forgotten to finish them. Yeah, I know. You were all worried I disappeared or something, but never fear... I'M BACK!


Quick run down on life:
1.I'm back in Provo.... What the heck am I doing back in Provo?
2. I spent the last week of the summer in California with my best friend and her family and Jake and Rancho and well, greatest ending to a summer ever. Also, thanks to Jake: I FREAKING SURFED. I'M A PRO. THAT'S WHAT'S UP....anyways...
3.My brother got married to the most gorgeous girl exactly one month ago and they're living happily ever after. :)

Part of the fam.

P.S. Their wedding was beyond perfection.
4. I miss the kiddos I nannied this summer. That was much easier than school.
5. I've taken up the art of making crafts. Flowers made from streamers, decorated mason jars, this really cool frame, collage drawers for my desk. I'll make a blog post with pictures soon.. But here's my bestest flower. and me. 

Don't judge me.

6. I've also become a genius chef with my blood sister Cierra. Seriously we rule. Just saying. We're making a food blog so stay tuned. >:)
7. I'm in love with Coldplay's songs from their new album. Listen.

8. I went on a road trip with some of the koolest gurlz ever. We had lots of fun. Proof: He took a leaf blower to our hair. #bestdessertexperienceever

9. I've decided to get back into musical theatre so I'm taking voice lessons, auditioning for a local theatre and getting at it. I'm excited. < Understatement.
10. I miss my friends from back home, but the new ones I'm making are really cool so it's sort of okay :)


Tumblr findings.

Genius

Best advice I ever did hear

Gimme this house. Please?

Ok I'm done. See you next time. :)

AH!

Random Song- I just really like it and I've listened to it about 28 times today.

Alright people, it's story time. So this one day (aka last saturday) my family and I went out on a boat for some quality bonding time. We're just out there doing our thing and all the sudden it starts raining. Not that big of a deal, we were all just hiding under towels while my dad was driving. But then horrible tragic things started to happen (aka LIGHTNING THUNDER AND HAIL) and I thought we were all going to die. Seriously, it was 112 and sunny when we left the dock and out of no where this storm appeared dropping quarter sized hail and decided to attempt to kill my entire family. not.cool. -___- 

Moral of the story: Don't go boating. Jokes, but for real. I'm bringing rain gear the next time I go out.

Looking back on it, it was pretty funny. All of us were screaming the entire time. My grandma jumped into my grandpas lap. He was screaming OW every second. Josh was under a life jacket. Everyone was yelling at my dad who was driving with no protection. I almost got thrown out of the boat in an attempt to keep the tube from flying away. Most of us ended up with welts from the hail beating. OH the memories. hah. 


ANYWAYS, a couple days ago it was father's day. Meet my dad:

AHAHAHHAHAHHAHA :)

Also, I just found the cutest thing. Look:

I love my dad, so so much. He's amazing and always will be my hero. He's a crazy worker and does so much to provide for my family. I'm bias and think he's the best dad in the world and obviously that's true :) He travels to California for his job every week (kind of jealous, but i'd rather be there to play) so we don't see him much but when he's home it's just a really nice thing :) Except when he wakes me wake up to do lawn work.. which hasn't happened lately so if it could stay like that for a while, I'd like that very much hahah :) Love you daddy <3

Other Happenings:

Tylah came home for the weekend. I didn't really realize how much I missed him. Hmph. But I'm so glad he came home for a little! AND I'm just really excited that he's getting married soon :)

I'm taking a spontaneous trip to California in 2 days. Perks of being a college kid and finding good deals on flights :) I just can't wait to go to the beach and explore Hollywood.. OH and maybe I'm just a little excited to see my long lost blood sister Cierra and visit Ms Holly Henrich too!! I can't wait! <33

I'm on a bracelet making frenzy. It's just a really great thing to do while you're waiting for kids at swim practice, I've found. 

Coming soon: The Sisterhood of The Traveling Bracelet. Cierra, Rebecca, Brittany and I have decided to knock off the idea of the traveling pants and do something so much cooler. >:) New blog will be made soon, stay tuned.

Cool Tumblr things:

New life mission: Find this. I have to. Beach and swinging is pretty much beyond perfection.

Ok ok ok.. That's enough.

Much loves. <33

Adventures.

In honor of the concert I was supposed to see today- thanks work!

So this one time, my best friend that I hadn't seen in a month walked through my door and surprise visited me. Yeah that definitely happened this past weekend. THE Holly Henrich flew to Texas, and spent a glorious 4 days in my hometown. Announcement to the world: I have the greatest best friend and all of your best friends suck because they aren't her andddd yeah. That's what I have to say. So this is what had happened: I'm just doin' my thing, getting a water for Sister Chamberlain (who was in Texas visiting too) and the next thing I know I hear the front door open. Naturally I looked over to see who was creeping into my house at 10 o'clock and I see Stephanie Peterson's face which just made me really, really confused and then I looked to the left of her and I saw who was standing next to her and I'm pretty sure I went into shock. Then I proceeded to put my face in my hands and cry for a second until I hugged her for about 2 minutes and couldn't believe she was standing in my house. I'm pretty sure I told her I still couldn't believe she was there like 14 times.


Our weekend was full of adventures: Going to Southlake, spilling Jamba in the street, going to Grapevine Mills to find mood rings, not sleeping at night, naps in the day, epic cynical night with molly and emily, not waking up early for church, meeting Glenn Beck, Zumba on the Kinect, getting pushed in the pool, bicycle jousting... We just really know how to have a good time, obviously.


OH and I can't forget, since we were the master pranksters at school that had to continue here as well. Brittany slept over one night and took a shower... bad choice on her part, what was she thinking? Naturally, Michael Anderson thought it'd be a good choice to throw flour on her. Thus, Holly and I plus our newest recruit (Stephanie Peterson) proceeded to fill red cups with flour, run into the bathroom with our eyes shut and dump it on her... and ourselves. Evidence:

Lookin' good: Pre-Prank.

Needless to say I had an awesome weekend full of quests I won't forget. I was sad to see her go, but she had to get back to school or something -____- Whateva.


This week I've been working like crazy, had an interview to possibly go to Maui with a family (stoked) so I can't wait to hear about that. The new Death Cab for Cutie CD came out so that made for some good listening. I also went shopping for the first time since being back.. win. Another first- working out. Note to self: Don't do a pilates class followed by power blaster- you will literally get blasted with pain the next day. FAIL.


Well, it's officially summer time- the weather is going to kill me and the babies are finally done with high school- Congrats to the graduates :) Weird to think I was there a year ago.. Time flys.


Tumblr Spam:

Future tattoo.. hehehe just kidding mom ;)

Alright I'm done. Until next time, stalkers.


Much loves. <33

Move along.

Too many songs to put up for this one folks, but this one won.

Life is a really crazy thing. People come in and out of it, sometimes for the better sometimes not. Either they leave out of their choice or because you leave them, but neither one is easy. Lately I've looked back at who has come and gone, who has stuck it out for years with me and I realize how much I take for granted. A split-second decision can tear you away from one you love most, or it can be a slow process you don't even notice is happening until you wake up and see what you lost. I know people say all the time that you need to let others know if you love them and how much you do constantly because you don't know what life will bring, what can change and how quickly. Then theres the whole 'you don't know what you've got til it's gone' type of thing. All of which is truthful it just kills when it's absolutely applicable to you.

Sometimes I feel like I love too much, I care too much, I put too much of myself out there which makes me so vulnerable, but I don't  know how to be any different. Sometimes I feel like I can't win, at anything, but I hope one day that'll change. Sometimes I wish I could just leave everything behind for a day and live like nothing that is bugging me matters, but my mind is too loud I could never do it.


Now all of you are probably worried that I'm all suicidal from this post plus my facebook statuses but I'm here to defend myself. Yes, I'm sad- no I don't really want to talk about it though. Music is the way I cope so all of those statuses were me listening to something that struck me and I thought I'd share it with the world. My blog is an out pouring of thoughts all splattered on to the computer screen- kind of like a journal but one that I don't mind sharing with people because maybe what I feel or say can let others know they're not alone and can see what I do with it. Not saying I write this stuff to inspire people or be a psychiatrist.. Although I did get an A in my Psych 111 Class last semester- Obviously means I'm certified to diagnose and help... Yeah right. 


Spam of cool tumblr findings. Go:

Always love, never hold back. Always put a smile on your face. Always pay attention to the little things that make you love someone the most, that sets them apart from the rest, and don't ever hesitate to tell that person what they are because it shows how much you're crazy about them. 

Much loves.

Life.

I'm pretty sure this has been the longest week of my life, for realz. Here's what I'm jammin to:

I only know that I belong where you are.

First things first, Happy Belated Mother's Day to my Mama. She's incredible and I love her to death. We go on really fun trips together, she makes me really good food and makes fun of me for being a nerd. I guess you could say I like her... a little ;) <33

Grand Cayman- lovelovelove.

Speaking of Mothers- I had to play mom this week. Lets just say I don't want to have kids ANYTIME soon. I mean, I love them, but no. Nannying is the best summer job ever and I love it- this week was just insane. I watched the regular kiddos from 9-5 and then was Mom to a couple of kids I used to babysit a while back. Interestingly enough no one was killed in the duration of my 'Mom-ness.' Luckily next week I don't work as much because I don't know if I have a threshold of how much I can handle my job but I'm pretty sure I was right near it. Nevertheless, it was way fun and I don't mind the money that came with it too. 


This week I've sucked at: sleeping at a decent time, waking up with time to get ready, coping with feelings, etc. Thus you can see it was great. 


Not going to complain any longer. I should be asleep, but obviously, as read in the last paragraph, it is something I suck at. I'm just up cleaning my room, thinking, doing everything that shouldn't be done instead of sleeping.


Welp, came across this on tumblr and it made me think..

I don't think I can honestly say I know what being completely fearless feels like. It's like I've always been afraid of something whether big or small. I wish I was fearless- I would be a completely different person in a completely different place. 


(Insert the regular I miss certain people and need them in my life here statements plus pictures which would just take too much effort for the amount of energy I have right now but this is what I have to say.. )

I should go do something productive, that'd be a good thing. oh gosh.


Much loves.

I just liked this.

Home.

Completely appropriate song choice.

Yesterday was a glorious day. My mom and I finished up our 20 hour drive from Provo to Keller, and it was the best 20 hour drive I've ever taken. Never thought those words would come from me.. It honestly wasn't that bad, especially when I "DIDN'T" drive really fast down the freeway. This was the condition of the car after packing up my entire life and smashing it into the Volvo.

I'm pretty sure I came up with way less stuff and everything multiplied in the dorm. Don'tjudgeme.


We drove 14 hours on Sunday, ended up in the cow-smelling Amarillo for the night and then drove another 5 and a half hours Monday. This was the breakfast of choice Monday morning:

The Donut Stop- Props to you for making me really good donuts. I like you.


I've seen so many people I missed so much already, saw the freaking weirdest movie I've ever seen- Insiduous, no words. Also, I discovered a new blog post by ms. holly henrich- she showed emotion and I thought that the world was going to end. Safe to say that was a good morning :) <3


These are some people I need in my life pronto-stat:

I'm going to breakfast tomorrow Ashley Thompson, who I'm so excited to see. She better not lock her keys in the car in the morning ;)


Also, I just needed to share this... Gangster best friend.

I should probably go do something productive like clean this up..

But this is what I have to say to that thanks to Melanie's Yoga class kicking my butt..

Until next time. Much loves.

Boycott Studying.

All these people keep gettin' blogs, makin' me feel left out or something. I'm joining the bandwagon, don't normally do that but this is an exception. So obviously, instead of studying for a huge Chemistry final I decided to make my a blog. Just so all of you can stalk me and know what's going on in my life.

So here ya go folks... This is me.

Props to Holly HenRICK for the hair do- she's good.

Firstly, I'm Corinne and if you don't know me and you're reading this- Happy Stalking. I go to BYU- YAY Mormon Town! Don't get me wrong, I love my fellow Morms but it is about time I go to Texas. I'm about to be done with my freshman year- 2 finals left 'til freedom. I've had a blast, really I have met the coolest chicks ever and I love them to death, I just can't wait to get outta here.

Secondly, Ms. Holly Henrich left today. Yes, I cried. Yes, I will freaking miss her so much. Yes, I'm a baby. She's cool. I met her at EFY- fate obviously brought us together, and we managed to stay pretty close. And then I invited her to be one of Britt and I's suite-mates: Best choice EVER made. She's weird, she had Britt draw her a fake sleeve, she would stay up with me all night to study for psych last semester, she took me to a secret coffee shop, we have scaringly the same taste in music, we wear the same shoe size and I'd even venture to say that she's my best friend... But now she's probably getting cocky, so I'll stop the Holly rant... I miss her though. Guaranteed the best picture I have of this girl-

Thirdly, another person I will miss is my blood sister. Her name is Cierra and well she's the best blood sister any one could have. We have swag... maybe.

Can't forget that Ms. Rebecca Barton- my fellow little monster- will be incredibly missed. We had some good times, her and I. Just concert-going, noodle-loving fools. I like her, and what she's good at.

Oh and then there's this chick named Brittany... She's my room-mate. I won't miss her... HAH that's because she'll be 5 mins away from me all summer and we've already planned lots of room-mate adventures. She's been good to me all year, I haveta say- not a bad choice ;)

(Disclaimer: There's a million and one other people I will miss but this post is getting way too long.)

Fourthly, I haven't even packed my room yet and I have a lot of stuff. I believe this will prove to be a problem in the near future, I can just feel it.

Fifthly, I don't sleep anymore. I have issues.

Sixthly, I can't wait to get home to my babies.. Calm your soul, I do not literally have children. Molly, Emily and Taylor were my babies during One Act last year (which by the way I miss exceedingly) so yeah, I just need to see them real bad.

There's a bunch of people that I need back in my life so so bad- they know who they are because I am constantly updating them on how many days we have left. I can be annoying when I'm over 1000 miles away.

Also- the number thing is getting old- Jare-bear comes to visit tomorrow, conveniently right when I'm leaving to go back home but still can't wait to see him. He was here with me last semester, but ditched me this semester so naturally I've been having withdrawls.

Guess I should include a picture.. Us. (Plus Alec)

This.is.so.entirely.too.too.long.

I should probably study... Debatable if I will but it's the thought that counts, am I right?

So long for now little blog. Much loves.
