it's ok to change your mind.
yes, i stewed over this blog for the entire weekend. yes, my brother ty was pissed at me for not sticking with the first decision of just shutting down the blog. yes, i felt bad that i let him down. and then i remembered, why do i care what people think? if i choose to stop blogging one day, and then decide to blog the next, why should i care if someone thinks i am a flake? yes...i am a flake. and a pushover. meh...who cares.
it's ok to wear bright red tights to church...
i don't care if it wasn't the conservative way to go. it's freakin' cold at church! my way was much more comfortable...and much more stylish. plus, i can put off shaving my legs, which is always a plus. Holla!
if it means i can snuggle ted a little bit longer in the mornings, i am ok with that.
it's ok to read on a saturday night...
sometimes reading an amazing book ("City of Ashes") while ted plays "Call of Duty", on a saturday night, is the perfect way to spend the evening. especially when Golden Spoon is involved.
but mom, seriously...PLEASE do my hair soon. i beg of you...and so does the rest of the world. kthanxbye.
it's ok to cry like a baby at this part every time...
this is the only part in "Twilight" that crazy Catherine Hardwicke got right. and by part she got right, i mean the D&G tux Edward is wearing...duh! what else?
it's ok to force the tedward to help put up christmas on Nov. 22nd...
even when he looks beyond thrilled to be doing it anyway!
it's ok to turn on the AC so you can pretend you are cold...
just so that it makes Christmas time feel more real. i am a firm believer in the AC-fake outs. It's arizona people!
it's ok for you to go here and see our anniversary pictures taken by one of my closest friends, Connie. tell her what you think!

Yay for coming back to your blog! :) And you are right...it IS okay to change your mind. I do it all the time! I love that you have your Christmas decorations up already...why on earth should we only celebrate from November 27 to December 25?
I was JUST talking about that part in Twilight, how it makes me cry every time, and how once I buy New Moon on DVD, there are certain parts that I will always cry at (won't give any spoilers here, though!).
Glad you are back! ;)
i couldn't handle christmas in AZ...we were in the bahamas last december and there were freaking christmas lights on palm trees. weird.
i frequently spend my weekends reading-holla!
heart you major =]
Yay...glad Busy Bee is back in action. Blogland would not be the same without you!!
Red tights are fine for church! And they are fabulous!
I stayed in on Saturday too...I was reading Catching Fire and I heart it!
The pictures look great! Love them & connie!!
My best friends are flakes.
My best friends are flakes.
I'm glad you decided to keep the blog--this is one of my favorite types of post from you :)
LOVE the pics...especially the 6th one. Oh and I love Ted's Edward jacket.
YAY! I'm not a huge commenter on your blog, but I LOVE to read it! I'm so glad you decided to stick it out!
Let the haters hate! There just not happy with themselves! (yes that's from a Mary J. Blige so, so what!) Paraphrased of course!
So keep it up Lauren. You have lots of faithful readers! :o)
You are so right. It is ok to change your mind, to force Ted to do things he doesn't want to do, to read on Saturday nights, to dress the way you want to, and in general, do whatever you think is right. That's why we love you, because you are firm in your decisions, even the ones you change, and you are a wonderful person who is madly in love with her husband. How can you go wrong with that?
Glad you decided to blog again! And glad you joined the club of putting up your Christmas tree before Thanksgiving! We did ours on the 16th! Ha love it!
Yay, so glad that you're back!! Love the Christmas tree and Ted's face while decorating it, priceless! The pics are gorgeous, by the way!!
So glad you decided to stick with it, Lauren!
It definitely is ok.
Your anniversary pics are fabulous!
LOVE the outfit choice!
You rock tights better than anyone I know!

I love flakes! Snow, frosted, parsley... :D
Love ya' and glad to see this post. Been bloggy-absent for a while.
xo
You are Lauren and you can do Whatever you want!
In fact, you can change your mind again tomorrow. It would be sad, but we'd be ok because it means doing whatever makes you happy.
I'll trade you AZ winter for UT winter any day of the week. Though I would miss the UT winter for some sick, strange reason.
Love you!
You just do what you have to do! Let the haters hate,who cares? They are lamespice...you are not.
I've been wanting to read City of Ashes,I heard it was really good.
First of all, the anniversary pictures are gorgeous. Connie is the bomb. You guys will always be beautiful.
Thanks for keeping the blog going..I agree, lets slow down with blogging. I don't know how you were able to post so often. But you are pleasing your peeps! Thanks.
Atta girl! You totally made my Monday. You kick major bootie. =)
1. Are all LDS churches cold? Srsly, have the same problo. I need me some tights.
2. Read Undaunted to 10:30 last night. Reading is the shiz.
3. Catherine Hardwicke is crazy. Prom scene is the bestest.
4. YAY for Christmas!
5. I'm headed over to look at your anniversary pics.
6. Dude, where is the Designer Blogs button? You no want me sponser you?
I love this type of post. Not many people are so honest. You're right, it's ok to have bad with the good.Sometimes we all need to flake a little. I read your blog because you're a REAL human being that I can relate to. My favorite quote ever. "Be true to who you are and the family name you bear". Gordon B. Hinkley
If it feel right to you -do it!
Lauren, you are fantastic.
Loves to you!
YAH! Now lets get this straight. These meanies do not own your blog. So don't let them take control of it! You have a great blog and I enjoy it for all the reasons above!
PS, I put up my tree also! Just makes the house feel warm and cozy :-)
Your red tights are indeed fabulous! I wish I had the sense of style you have in 1 pinky finger! :)
I'm glad you're doing ok . . . and yeah . . . who cares what anyone else except Father in Heaven (ok, and maybe Ted in your case! *smile*) thinks? :)
Rock On Girlfriend! Rock On! :)
If you came to our ward here in L.A. no one would look at you like you are crazy.
And I put up my tree yesterday too! Plus we had a "thanksgiving" with some of Mr. Black Sneakers fam!
Dare to be different!
Oh, I wish I had to have an A/C fakeout, I'm freezing!!
And it's totally ok if you wanna keep gracing the word with your fun posts. I approve.
um i heart you and im glad you're back :)
Yay! I'm so glad your back!
Glad your back!!
Love love love that you're not really giving up on blogging because some people can't handle the level of awesomespice you deliver. Seriously, don't know what I'd do if the woman that introduced me to the world of "awesomespice" was no longer making me smile, laugh, cry, be jealous (you are srsly too gorge for words lady), etc.
I don't get a chance to read your blog nearly as much as I'd like bu it's really always the highlight of my day when I do.
PS Love that you're rockin the red tights to church :)
Best wishes for happy, fulfilling blogging and--more importantly--life,
rockiestwitwin :)
i love that you are back in action!
i love colorful tights from target, especially if they help me avoid shaving my legs.
i love spending time doing what you like on the weekends. who cares if its reading and playing video games? for me, it's watching way too much flight of the conchords!
It's OK to do whatever you want.. and say whatever you want! :)
I love your pictures.. and that you have put your tree up! YAY!
LOVE prom Edward.. but that isn't the only thing Catherine did well.. they had Chemistry.. and at least Edward had better make-up than NM. Just saying...
If that's all it took to keep you blogging, I would have called you a flake a long time ago! You totally made my day! Thanks for continuing to share your awesomeness with us!
It is all ok!!!
& your anniversary pics are so cute...i love the purple tights and yellow belt combo!
It's OK to do whatever the eff you want! ^_^
oh my heavens! :) Your pictures are fantastic.
yay! I'm so glad you decided to keep blogging..I think you're way fabulous..and the red tights are awesome...I want some :)
YAY!
oh, and I love that you called Catherine Hardwicke crazy. cause she is.
i went crazy all weekend knowing I wouldn't be hearing from you soon. So yes....it is totally fine to change your mind. And I am so glad your back. I have roots too! Probably worse than yours. Glad your back "home" I missed ya!!!
Wooohoooo, you're posting again! :)
You can do whatever you want, don't think about what others might think of you. I always change my mind. And I also spend a lot of Saturday nights at home and read. :)
I wish I had the space to put up a Christmas tree in my home!
Exactly right. And we love you for your mind-changing, red-tight-wearing, Twilight-loving self. :) Good to have you back!
Doses this mean you're back? I dearly hope so! Because I perked right up when I saw a new post!
Ted looks thrilled-THRILLED, I tell you- to be puttin' up a christmas tree, lol.
*Huggings to both of yous!*
your anniversary pics are so cute. i'm hoping to get my engagement photos done soon so i can have them for my guest book at my wedding. how long did it take you to pick out your outfit?
I'm glad! I'm a bit of a silent follower, but I really enjoy your blog.
I am so relieved that you are continuing with the blog! I had to see new pictures of your house and what you did to it! Glad you are back :)
Lauren those pics were amazing! You are so gorgeous and Ted just adores you. You can see it in his eyes. You guys are so cute!
Good for you for doing whatever the heck you feel like.
I LOVE the first anniversary picture of you guys on her blog. It is perfect.
p.s. you CANT stop blogging! It would break my little heart to not have your updates. You seriously make my day so happy!
i've become the worlds biggest flake lately. and i'm kind of totally ok with it. some of the best things in the world are flakey... frosted flakes... crossants... snow... being flakey is totally great. :)
i LOVE your anni pics. so cute. and your style is the bomb. i wore argyle tights to church yesterday and felt a little bit odd, but stylish!
i'm so glad you didn't completely shut down your blog. i was seriously depressed when i found out. i almost had to go buy a pint of ben and jerrys. i probably would have if i wasn't a starving college student who'd already spent her food budget for the week!
Poor Ty. He's just doing what big brothers are supposed to do.
Glad you're back. I look forward to Peeta talk next year.
Yeah, I wore just plan old black leggings and I got some interesting looks at church. I want to try some bright colored ones to see if I get even more looks. Haha.
Don't even mention the roots. Argh. I need them done yesterday.
I wish I could what little bit of Christmas I have, but my hubby refuses prior to Thanksgiving.
P.S. I think K.Stew looks better with brown eyes than her natural; maybe that's just me but I had to let it out.
I am super happy you decided to stay! Love your post! Looooove Edward in D&G! Mmmm
I heart you, Lauren.
P.S., City of Ashes is amazing.
It's your blog - flake out if you want.
The same attitude works with tights. ;)
Glad you decided to bear with us a bit longer. And I read on Saturday nights...and Friday nights...and every freakin' night of the week!
YAY YOUR BACK!! :)
Lauren you are just one sweet cookie!
You do whatever you want and do it well - You have style!
Well...I missed you for two days! Welcome back!
Darling, wear your red tights. Sounds like too many people in your ward have Stink-eye problems!!
As for the tree, I might be persuaded to put mine up early but being "the Mom" it's just too much trouble to try and do Thanksgiving and Christmas decor all at once. My sanity must rule!
I cry during that scene too. Every time!
Bahahaha! That picture of Ted made me laugh out loud. haha! Oh men... anyway, I LOOOOVE your Christmas tree and decorations! Imma steal it when you're not looking...
Anyway, you two are so so cute- I was very happy you selected me to take your pictures! (:
I'm so glad you decided to stay!
I've gotta say, I love love love that you came back! You = Rockin times eleventy billion.
I LOVE IT!!! YAY!
I put my christmas decor up 2 weeks ago..lights and all...
I read, ( 'the knowing'...good book) sat night while my hubbs and son played mario cart...
i didnt make the beds yesterday..
i am the worlds biggest flake... I am known as a space cadet.
i think we are soul sisters!
ps... i love love love your anniversary pics! they are too darling!
Wearing tights to put off shaving is TOTAL WIN!
This move = BBL being my hero! ;o)
totally agree with all of this. especially the edward tux part. i'm trying to get my boy to buy one similar to it for prom this year. :]
The Busy Bee is back!
Hey, remember, "ain't no thing" if you change your mind ;)
OMG your anniversary pics are GORGEOUS. I can't wait to have a husband to take pics with lollll
But seriously, you and Tedward are the cutest.
:)
Yes to Connie- you guys look amazing! And tell Ty that he'll get over the fact you didn't quit your blog.. it's cool. :D Haha- LOVE the Christmas tree- ours won't be up till after Christmas, oh well!
Hooray! You're back! I love that you decorated for Christmas in November!
I got me Christmas up on the 21st! yay for Christmas.
I'm glad you are still here. The haters are of Satan and we can't let him win now can we? You are all goodness and I have met you in person so I can testify to that.
Luvs You
OK, I think we were lazy Saturday night twins. My FB update was, "What ever happened to Saturday night?" It's nice not having to impress anybody any more.
I believe Edward's hair and suit are THE winning combo of the movie.
Lauren, I'm glad you're back. There are too many books, too many movies, too many fashion statements, and too many witticisms for you to read, watch, make, and say for you to go away.
P.S. Don't worry about flaking. I finally made an entry on mine after, oh, about a month. Who cares? Life happens. I'm married to my husband, not my computer!
Aww! So glad you're keeping the blog. That's right! Don't let those big meanies win. Don't let anyone ever make you stop being you. Your engagement pics are super gorgeous! Connie is very talented!
i support your red tights, naturally. love it.
Glad you're back! I love the pictures of you and Ted; you two are adorable!!!
I"m having a love affair with colored tights right now. Last week I was wearing red tights and my friend was wearing yellow tights and people literally looked at us like we weren't wearing any clothes or something...a few people also told us that we looked like McDonalds...
First of all I LOVE your colored tights!!! They are so cute! And that pic of Ted is soo funny!!!
I'm SO glad you changed your mind. AND your anniversary pictures -- GORGEOUS!! you are one freaking pretty lady!
p.s. i feel ya on the highlights -- my stylist was busy til the end of time ... so i'm waiting {desperately} for it.
Yay you're back!
What a good day!
:)!
Pfft...that's what girls do...we change our minds.
yyaayy your back : ) don't be so hard on yourself!
Welcome Back! I'm glad we'll still get to read your awesome blog. Don't let people affect what you do or don't do. Just be you...that's why we love reading your blog!! You rock!
PS I can so relate to poor Ted...It's not even Dec yet!
Hi! Your pics are beautiful. I love your outfit! I am glad you are back and that I didn't find out till now because I would have been sad!
oh, the Christmas tree rocks.....I think everyone needs some Christmas cheer early this year!!!
oh and the air conditioner is a cool idea :)
Beth
I am so glad you're back! I love reading your blog too much. That houndstooth jacket is so adorable. I love that picture of Ted!
aw i am so happy that you are blogging once again! good good good :)
i took a look at the anniversary pics. they are STUNNING and SO ADORABLE of you two! such a cute and gorgeous couple. love love it!
YAY! so glad you're back!! :D
I've been itching to put up christmas, but I'm making myself wait. I have next sunday off, so maybe that's how I'll spend my afternoon :)
LOVE your anniversary photos!! So cute!! I really want to get some shots of the Hubby and I....but convincing him is going to be quite the battle LOL...he hates having his picture taken. Grump :p
Heck yes all those things are ok! Love your tree:)
-Angie
I am in love with your red tights & have been trying to find some, but then I need to find something to wear with them.
P.S. It's great that you don't care what people think. I mean we still care, but sometimes you just have to shrug it off and do what you want.
:)
I'm brand new to your blog... but I freaking love you. Like, I have a girl crush on you and want to stay using words like "lamespice" and "kthanxbye" and find a way to make Tyson and Edward combine in an awesome way.
I love that you have an a/c fakeout, but I'm sorry that you have to use it! For the record, I would def switch PA winter for AZ winter any day!
"if i choose to stop blogging one day, and then decide to blog the next, why should i care if someone thinks i am a flake? yes...i am a flake. and a pushover. meh...who cares."
Lauren, this just made me respect you a LOT. You're awesome.
Love Ted's expression, btw. Too funny!
I have officially stalked most, if not all of your blog. Love. It! Good for you for sticking it out. Seriously, do what you do for you. Stalk you later!
