World travelers....

Spencer and I are going on a study abroad to FRANCE this summer.

We are in Paris for 1 week, and Annecy for 3 weeks! 

Annecy is where we will be attending a university learning French :) 

and it is  right by Geneva Switzerland

(Annecy-Geneva may host Olympics in 2018!)

Here are some pictures of Annecy.....

 This is a famous Jail ^

We will be staying in a hotel in Paris, 

then with a host family together while in Annecy! 

The university is right by Lake Annecy and right in the middle of the Alps! 

Our study abroad is only 4 weeks. But we will be in Europe for 6 weeks.

We are leaving May 18, and getting back July 5 :)

We are going to be traveling on our own for 2 weeks.

Le Mont Saint Michel (In Normandy, France)

We are staying between the first and second block looking thing, right of the road....

Monet's Garden

Then we meet with our Study abroad for 4 weeks.

On the weekends (travel alone) we will see: 

Lucerne, Switzerland

Then we are done with study abroad and it is back on our own...

Prague, Czech Republic

We are so excited for this opportunity!

It is seriously a once in a lifetime thing.

we feel soooo blessed to be able to do it!!!

I want to give a shout out to my daddy, 

he is probably one of the biggest planners of all of this. 

He has helped me get everything together,

i mean everything.

Thank you, I love you daddy :)

21 more days!!!!

Is Brunch even a real word?

Breakfast + Lunch = Brunch

Kind of like Funner.

Used to not be a real word. 

Now they both are. 

Anyways, I am planning and putting on an Easter Brunch for the Noorda extended fam.

And I woke up this morning and spent about an hour and a half creating this beauty

Take a look..... 

Isn't it darling?

I couldn't get all the parts to group together, so it would send right as an attachment.

But thank goodness for my mom.

She stopped everything she was doing to help me.

Mom's are lifesavers.

Especially mine. 

She is the most selfless person i know.

I cannot wait for Easter.

We always have a big meal,

Easter baskets with tons of candy (my dad is a candy man),

 Presents (yes, still), Easter egg hunts (full of $$), and 

most important we celebrate our Savior's birth. 

This is my first time planning a big event with the whole fam damily.

I am planning, but i am also cooking.

Hopefully everything goes smooth.....

Psh... who am i kidding?

Of course it will :)

Cant you resist the Temptation?

What is warm, cute, sweet, soft, moist, delicious, 

and you crave it when you don't have it? 

....tick....tock....tick...tock....

Thought it was gonna be something dirty didn't you?

Sorry for the tease.

Well its probably just as good, 

or better,

 than what you were thinking. 

It is.... TEMPTATION CUPCAKE

It is my new job :)

I absolutely LOVE it!

The cutest young married couple started this darling place 1 year ago

He bakes, she frosts and decorates, and I sell them.

which is so easy because everyone loves them so much,

we sell out almost everyday! 

If you haven't been, you are //missing out//

They are the best cupcakes I have ever had. 

It is on 1000 N. right next to AT&T in Logan. 

Open at 10 am and close when we sell out

(usually 5 or 6 pm)

Grab a cute date and....

give into the Temptation.

Best Husband Award .

Yep, its official.

I have the best husband everrrr.

This is ONE (of many) reasons why he is the best.

So... he had class at 10:30 and left before i did.

And i walk out to my car to leave,

and lo and behold.... 

this is on top of my car, by my driver side door...

How cute is he?

Not only does he leave me cute surprises like this.....

He writes me love letters. I have a whole collection of them. 

Some on normal paper, some on styrofoam, some on post-its, some on cardboard

What ever he had closest to him he uses. 

I know, Right? 

How adorable is this guy?

VERY.

I love my babe. 

I mean that literally too.

He is a BABE.

take a look....

mmmm...... ♥

Late night fight .

Registration is probably one of most intense/least cool parts about Utah State.

You wait until midnight only to have your internet say 

"Failed to open page" over and over.

.....Refresh, Refresh, Refresh....

Wonder why its so slow?

Because there are 5000 people trying to login and get your classes at the same time.

Last semester i waited over an hour before i got through and got my classes.

Hopefully this is my last time in this vicious battle.

I hope to graduate in December with my Bachelors Degree.

If not, thats ok. I have LOVED college!

Im majoring FCHD and Health and i LOVE it. 

Just my luck, It's been 1 hour 3 min. so far and I'm not even to the login page

Spencer got in immediately last night.

He is majoring in French, with a Business minor.
He will graduate either December or May. depends.

Then he is planning on either getting: 

1. International Business Masters Degree

2. MBA

We are still currently deciding which would be better.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

 ....... GO AGGIES!

The Other Ann .

The other Ann.

In case you dont get it, we have almost the same name.

Ann(a), and Ann(ie), therefore we are the Ann's

Please feel free to call us that at any time.

It all started Summer of 2009. NO REGRETS. as we referred to it.

It was probably the best summer of my life.

I lived with Annie and Caroline.

They are the coolest cats around.

Anyways, Ann has been one of my dearest friends since.

If anyone wants a best friend that is //perfect//...

 than Annie is your girl!

I very was grateful for her tonight

i decided to create a blog... well...

i created one a year ago, and did nothing with it,

so i'm re-creating it back. 

I felt like a 90 year old woman trying to use the newest technology.

it was -terrible-..... to say the least.

Anyways, i called her up and she walked me through everything.

Best.friend.ever.

This could go on forever.

Thanks for being the best friend everrrrrr.

Love you Ann.
