my sister is off to london...without me.

My sister jetted off to London today.

To say I am jealous would be an understatement.

A-she gets to go to London (my most favorite place)

B-she gets to be there for the Royal Wedding 

Enough said.

On the other hand, I am so excited for her.

London was the greatest experience of my life and I am so happy she gets to have her own London experience too.

I'm going to miss Carli a lot. Who wouldn't?

But we do get to go pick her up in six weeks, so I'm already counting down the days.

Easter Sunday.

Happity Hoppity Easter!

My family had a great little Easter.

Carli and I made our masterpiece bunny cake (see above).

My sweet grandparents joined us for dinner.

And of course we dyed some eggs.

We quickly came to the conclusion that the whole process is way too complicated these days (for us anyways).

Between the glitter, and the paint, and the beads...let's just get back to the basics please!

All my attempts at creativity just resulted in solid colored eggs, but oh well, I was satisfied.

Above all else though, today I'm grateful for my Savior. 

I'm so grateful for His sacrifice and I'm so grateful for the knowledge that He lives.

My life would truly be nothing without Him.

"Behold, I am Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who created heavens and the earth, a light which cannot be hidden in darkness;"

-Doctrine and Covenants 14:9

I hope everyone had wonderful Easter Sundays!

diet coke addicts.

So maybe we really like diet coke.

Ok, so maybe we love it.

And maybe this is just 3 days worth of cups.

And maybe we really couldn't care less.

Because diet coke--whether it's with lime, vanilla, extra ice, or cherries...

it just makes every day a little better.

**Provo's Sonic and McDonald's will just have to thank us for keeping them in business one day.

Easter candy.

In the midst of finals the roommates and I are grateful for Easter candy.

Nothing else compares, really.

A handful of robin eggs here and there keeps us going

as we muddle through the endless hours of studying.

It's the perfect remedy for our overworked brains.

Be you.

who knew?

Today was just one of those days.

A few important discoveries came from it though...

I never knew that a giant coloring book and a cupcake could be the perfect remedy.

I never knew a diet coke with lime and extra ice could taste so good.

Most importantly (and something I already knew)...

The people who love you are always going to be there to help you get back up.

As long as I know that I know that I can do anything.

I heart Ellen.

Basically I love Ellen.

I rarely miss her show.

I just think she is the greatest.

This video is just one reason why.

Enjoy!

happy birthday carli!

It was Carli's 20th birthday on Saturday!

She is my beautiful, talented, funny, darling, sweet, outgoing, loud, hyper, kind, wonderful, amazing sister.

She's the Schneider sister everyone can't get enough of in Provo.

(It's true...ask around.)

I look up to her in so many ways.

She never ceases to amaze me. 

She's fearless and she's fun and she's the most loving person I know.

I hope her 20th year is the best yet!
