The Simple Life

I Love the simple things of life. I love a summer barbecue. I love reading a book. I love listening to the rain. I love laughing with my family. I love taking walks. I am trying to make the best of each day and look at the positives in life.

Now....
Meet my worst enemy and pet peeve. The Alarm Clock.

I hit snooze 5 to 8 times each morning. ( Seriously, I really do )
And from now on I will try my hardest to wake up on the first alarm.
I know, seems like a HUGE goal.
but Hey, It's the simple things that matter right?
so I'll start small.


One thing you might not know about me:
I LOVE road trips.
Driving to new places, and seeing things I've never seen before.
( Yeah, Dad, I remember how miserable we were on the last day driving from UT to TN)
But remember how excited we were at the beginning?


My favorite part of our cross country road trip was drinking 7-11 slurpees the ENTIRE time and driving COMPLETELY off course just to visit the Royal Gorge.
Simple.


Some things I miss:
Even though I'm very h.a.p.p.y in Tennessee, I miss some -good 'ole people- in Utah!

Like...Stevie, Nicole, Alyse, Kayla, Kirra, All my UCCU friends, and especially...

My favorite person, Lanae.


Who is that hot bride??
I always knew she would get married before I did.
Didn't we make a bet on that like 10 years ago?
I think you owe me $40 bucks, Lanae.
Yeah, you can give it to me later.


Favorite moment of the week:

Chris surprising me with red roses.

2nd Favorite moment of the week:


Seeing a mouse while taking a picture of my roses.
Jumping up on a chair.
Hitting my head on the lamp.
And accidentally taking a picture of myself doing this ALL at the same time.
=PRICELESS.

Dear mouse in my apartment,

Your gonna need one of these helmets if your here much longer!
I'm watching you.

Love, Loni Simply Me.

  1. I love your blog! I enjoyed reading every bit of it. Especially about the mouse...I laughed at the helmet! I'm sure your Amigos in Utah miss you just as much as you miss them. I know I do. I took for granted having you here, plus I was pregnant and moody the whole time! Now sometimes I feel like I have no real friends. I would give anything to have you back. You are the best sister ever. I love you and I love your blog. Keep posting so I can keep up with ya. I will try to be better at it, too.

  4. I have the funniest girls in the world. You guys are funnier than me. I hate that. I especially love the mouse story, but I remember being at the Royal Gorge and you mocking me for not wanting to walk across the bridge, 1053 feet above the river. So thank you for only showing the picture of me standing at the bottom on the river and not curled up in the fetal position on the bridge, whimpering while fourth grade girls threw rocks at me. That was a blast, and that last day did suck. Oh, and good luck with the mouse...after the electricity goes out and the lights go dark BWWWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
