so im finally back in california and its nice. its super hot here though. ugh cant really take it right now. anyways i just got back last night it was a long drive but it was fun. it feels really weird being home everyones really different and stuff so i have pretty much like zilch in common with anyone. but its alright. christmas is coming up and im ridiculously excited!!! i absolutely love it and i love love loveeee giving the people i love nice gifts. its hard for me this year cuz i have no idea what to get anybody though. (that means im open to any suggestions ;) *HINT HINT*) then after that its gonna be new years and then supercross im totally stoked. and then of course back to school. oh well itll be good. meanwhile there are some things ive seriously missed out on since ive been done and i plan to catch up with...for example the beach. ive missed it so much, the swimming the sand, the sunsets AND sunrises, the amazing views, the bonfires. ive got to get all of it while i still can. then theres in n out of course which last time i went before i went to school i got a grilled cheese and still havent been able to live that down. ill work on that this time though. so pretty much everybody around me is getting married...and its kinda sad. oh well i love them all and im gonna miss them! anyways ive also decided im going to try to catch up on my serious lackage of sleep. so that means for tonight im going to bed mmm im excited! :)

i just had to do it.

Tag, you're it! Here's how to play: Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, funny, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names.



1. I am incredibly clumsy. Anyone that knows me at all should have probably figured this out by now. In my first week of school here I had already broken one plate, burned myself 4 times, cut my fingers 3 times, tripped down the steps twice (in front of about 50 people might i add), and fell completely down the stairs once. Keep in mind there was no rain, snow, or uneven ground. I just cant help myself, it seems I'm acident prone.

2. Over the past couple years I've learned a lot about myself and others. I've learned who my real friends are and how to be a better friend myself. I've also come to realize that things that you may be completely certain about at one time can become so off-base extremely quickly. I used to trust people way too easily but I seem to have hopefully gotten over that as well. I've gone through a lot and probably done some very dumb things (haha) but I've learned so much from everything.

3. I miss my sister...probably much more than most people realize. I don't really know if there's a whole lot more to say about this one. I try and talk to her as much as possible but with her 2 little ones and my...my ummm..."incredibly" busy schedule it seems like I don't talk to her as much as I'd like which makes me sad. Although maybe it actually has something to do with the fact that I get made fun of a lot for the stupid things I do...or my boy complications. lol Anyways that's really besides the point. Basically I love her and I might want to stay with her for a little bit over the summer...(which she doesnt exactly know about yet :) hahaha)

4. I'm still like a little girl. I wouldn't call myself compeletely immature or anything, but the truth is I love doing kid stuff. I love dressing up and playing on the swings, etc etc etc.

5. I love to travel. If I had the money necessary I would without a doubt be around the world. I want to study abroad sometime hopefully. I love packing for my trips but hate unpacking. All in all, I think I could get over that though. There's so many places that I want to go, probably topped by Australia, Brazil, Sweden, and back to Venice.

6. I procrastinate, but I think I've actually become better. I'm still working on that though...more to follow.

7. I miss my job. Ok, ok, so I worked at Toys R Us and continue to get made fun of all the time for it, but honestly I loved it there. I loved the people, the adorable kids that would come in, and being able to help people find what they wanted. Sure I guess I could find that anywhere but I'm not sure it will ever be totally the same. I am not ashamed that I worked at a toy store and yes I can handle the criticism. So bring it on! :)

8. I don't have a place to really call "home" anymore. Don't get my wrong, I absolutely love California and I hope I can live there sometime (although the likelihood of that seems like zero), but it's just not really MY home anymore. It's awkward and different which is fine, but a little weird to get used to. And of course to mention the obvious, Utah is in no way whatsoever my home. I do not like Utah (or BYU as Andrea said). Call me a bad Mormon, it's alright but it's just not the place I'd ever like to live. (I'm pretty sure this statement is gonna come back to bite me.)

9. I hate not having my fingers and toes painted. It kills me. That's why I find myself painting and repainting about once a week. Right now they are red with white snowflakes. Call my crazy, I think it's cute. :)

10. I can't wait to have a family. Trust me I am in NO HURRY, so please don't get the wrong idea, but yes I really look forward to being a wife and mother. I want to get married in the Sacramento Temple, no questions asked. You can tell me it's not the most "beautiful" or "extravagant" but I have never felt the same way as I did in there. It is incredible.



I guess that's the end of that.

So I realize I have no one to tag because uh, everyone who I would have has already done it. Wow, I really am a loser. :) Anyways, I'm done for now, better go study some more!

introduction.

ok so here's the deal people seem to be getting upset with me for not emailing them back "quick enough" or whatever so im setting this up everyone can be updated at once cuz i mean im a pretty busy girl! :) anyways if anyone gets annoyed with the blogging i personally hold andrea accountable...she started it. alright so im almost officially done with my first semester of college. i only have 2 finals left and ill be going back home in a couple days. i dont know exactly what im going to be doing stuck at home by myself for 3 weeks. lets just say it should be interesting. im excited for the trip home though it should be so much fun!!! umm i guess thats about it for now. nothing special is happening lately. everyones just studying and trying not to pass out. :) so i look forward to seeing many of you soon!

ps. my hair actually curled...and even stayed in for about 5 hours! (hence the picture) yay for new curling irons and spending like 2 hours doing hair! heehee
