Temple Square

Me and Kara at the Gateway

Roadtrippppp!

Glorious Reunion with my best friend! Miss you Bri!

Kara and Becca

so for anybody that knows me knows how much I love USU basketball. I pretty much live for it...especially when I'm stuck up here at school. (ps. I am SO sick of girls who go just to look for boys. You know, the ones who don't cheer because they think they're just too good for it? Yeah ya know what just GET OUT.) Ok, sorry I'm done with that now, just had to get it off my chest. Alright so anyways this weekend was the USU BYU game down in Salt Lake. Don't EVEN get me started on why it was down there, all I can say is that coward Dave Rose is too much of a wuss to come play at the Spectrum. He knows they have no shot up here. That being said it was a crazy intense and fabulous game. A few friends and I went down Saturday morning and went shopping at the Gateway. We got a free family suite at a hotel right in downtown. Yes, that's right FREE. So we spent our weekend in the hot tub, shopping, and seeing the lights at Temple Square...instead of studying for finals. Yeah, great idea I know. Anyways, it was so much fun. The game was full of AMAZING signs which sadly I could not get good pictures of. :( But the whole weekend was fantastic. I had my last final yesterday so I'm finally officially done, it's great. I'm just so ready to be home. I love Christmas and I can't wait to get everything done. At least I already took care of my roomies, so now I just need to take care of my dad and Rob and Jessica, plus a few of my best friends I suppose. I've done everything else I'm pretty sure so that is a relief. We've been taking tons of pictures, but since blogger hates me they keep getting deleted, but there is a few here, so enjoy! 

surprise surprise.

well I don't have TOO much to say right now just being home from the movie that could have potentially ruined my life. :) I've got class in the morning but the friends and I are pulling an all nighter. We got a little Brian Regan goin right now which is great. Anyways, not that I'm complaining but it (obviously, and unsurprisingly) was not the book. I know I know, what could I really expect? And was there REALLY going to be anything that could possibly meet my unrealistic expectations? Anything that could have done this story the real justice it so deserved? I'm going to be perfectly honest and concise in answering that: the answer is no. Absolutely not in fact. So I'll appreciate what I can get. Although I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. lol good times though really, when it all comes down to it. One thing however that kind of...irked me, was that they don't like totally go at it on her bed...yeah not sure what that was about. Anyways, more tomorrow//when I have time. Right now Brian Regan is clearly calling my name!

my entire post just got deleted. again.

I think it's pretty clear that this stupid website hates me. I can't take it anymore! So even though I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to do, I will try my best to rewrite the entire page. Argh, that really upsets me. 

Sometimes it's really hard for me to write anything because I don't feel like I've done anything that's exceptionally noteworthy, but I'll try to update the things I've been doing lately. Lets start with the fact that basketball season has FINALLY started. Ok, so we've only had 2 exhibition games thus far, but really they've made my life that much greater. The Spectrum is an incredible place to be during a basketball game I won't lie. We did win both games of course, but to be honest, the team has got some work to do if they're hoping to have a season like last year. Losing Steve Ducharme, Kris Clark, and (obviously) Jaycee Carroll! :) has definitely taken its toll. I will seriously miss watching them play, and yes the first game was a little depressing specifically because of that. However, we've still got Gary Wilkinson, Tai Wesley, and Tyler Newbold with us to (hopefully) pick up some of that slack. Newcomers too, and I don't know all of their names yet, but here's what I do know. Brady Jardine, Jared Quayle, Matt Formisano, and Jaxon Myaer are by far my favorite. Not to mention they are quite attractive as well. :) I'm working on knowing the rest of the team but you gotta give me a little bit of a break it's only been 2 games! This Friday is the first real game and I can't wait! The days are back when we get to the stadium 3 1/2 hours before the game, and no that is not an exaggeration. I can't wait!

I finally finished the ward directory, which took a lot of time and work. But thank goodness it's done and I can relax from that for a little while. I've been hearing good things about it, which is nice because it was not easy!

It's been getting cold lately so we try to stay inside where it's nice and warm now. Of course there's those Starbucks runs too! I'm happy to say I've converted my roommates to the goodness of their hot chocolate. The snow hasn't stuck yet at our apartment, so that's still very nice! We just put up Christmas lights and they're adorable! And now I'm listening to Christmas music which I LOVE!

My mom, sister, and nieces came up last Friday to surprise me and it was fabulous! How nobody said anything to me though is totally beyond me. All my roommates knew and kept quiet for the whole week. Plus I talked to Andrea about 3 times on Thursday and she said nothing, not to mention talking to my mom twice when they were literally in the car! It was a great surprise though, and I was in serious need of a break. So we went to lunch and then went to Salt Lake for the night. We spent it hanging out with cousins and then Saturday morning went down to Temple Square and the conference center. It was beautiful of course, and I got some adorable pictures and videos of the girls! But all the brides! It must have been a very busy day there. It seemed like I couldn't walk 15 feet without seeing another newlywed couple. Very cute...but very crazy too. haha Then it was time to say goodbye and I went back home that night. Thanks to them for coming up and making my weekend great! I love them all and miss them so much!

Sunday nights are now game nights. We have all our friends come over to (duh) play games and have treats that I make. They are quite delicious, if I do say so myself. :) We've also been getting some new movies of late to further the whole "staying inside" concept. Kung Fu Panda was hilarious! I'm really not sure what the next one is going to be but I guess I'm going to have to start thinking about that soon! 

Last night we made strawberry daquiris (due greatly to my awesome persuasion). I'm converting everyone! haha non-alcoholic of course so please don't question that, I am a good girl! They were so delicious and we had a lot of fun just hanging out! I did however also burn my hand on the toaster oven yesterday. :( Now there's a large blister and it's very painful. Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before that happened. My clumsiness I'm afraid will never be entirely gone.

What I'm currently waiting for (very anxiously! just ask anyone who knows me) is November 20th at midnight. Yes, twilight is FINALLY coming out. I'll admit that I know it is going to be terrible, BUT I'm hoping that if I can somehow get in the mindset of not comparing it to the book I'll be alright...ok lets be honest that is obviously not going to happen. So instead I'll spend the 2 hours (when I should be sleeping, or at the very least studying) analyzing every wrong move, line, and appearance. I will make a note of them all so don't even worry. I can almost guarantee it will be posted here very shortly after. :) It will be a fabulous night though nonetheless because it's all my best friends! I finally got all our tickets for the midnight showing and yes we do take up at least half of the theater, and also yes, I am proud! :) That night is also Danie's birthday so we'll be going out to dinner beforehand which will be fun. I'll update on all of that next week!

Anyways, I guess that's it for now because I have too much to do and I don't remember anything else! I know, bad memory, but at least I tried. There's pictures below this post, so enjoy. That's all. :)

this is hard

ohhh our country.

that's really all I can say right now. there are no words. I'll just have to re-post sometime in the next couple days...from mexico. Because that's where I'm moving now.

fabulous.

so nothing really super exciting has happened over the last couple weeks. I've pretty much just been going to school and that's about it. Of course there was some parties here and there too but I've just been busy (or procrastinating) but that's fine. So last weekend I went down to Salt Lake to see my grandma for the weekend, and it was fun. We watched old movies and made a bunch of pies...even though I don't eat pie. haha This week I've been really stressed because I had a test in econ today and he just informed us Wednesday that it was not multiple choice. I swear every jaw in the room dropped when he threw out that bomb. So lets see I got home at around 130 yesterday and immediately hit the books and I stayed up until 2 o clock this morning studying and then woke up at 6 to keep studying...or study again. With a one hour break in there for our office party. It was ridiculous. Anyways, so I think I did alright...I really hope so. I just worked really hard on that so I'm just hoping for the best. But of course I haven't gotten my grade back yet, and I don't know when I will so I'm stuck worrying all weekend long, which is just perfect right. Oh actually I finally saw Batman last weekend! It only took me ya know...like 3 months. Really pathetic I realize but it was so good. And don't worry I totally jumped and screamed a bunch of times...and I think my friend thought I was retarded. haha but that's ok he's a good sport, he didn't even make fun of me! :) Today is my friend Rebecca's birthday so I spent the beginning of this week getting together her present and the party. Everything is FABULOUS. The gift is completely amazing if I do say so myself. Then we redboxed made of honor and so we just got finished watching that because we have to return it before 9 tonight or we get charged--super lame I know. Anyways I made an awesome cake and it was so freaking delicious. I was super worried because I've never made it before, but I know it's her favorite because I remember her talking about that. So I came home at 1130 today and got to work. Everybody loved it so I guess it was a success! (Thank goodness.) Can I just mention that it's extremely hard to make a cake with no instructions, just a list of ingredients?! Well at least I figured it out so no worries! That's really all that's interesting right now so I have a ton of stuff to still get ready so I better go do that!

yum. YUM YUM YUM. I am pretty proud of myself I'm not gonna lie. :)

yes. it does snow

in SEPTEMBER. my gosh, I am so done right now. it snowed on Monday. So here I plan this perfectly amazing long holiday weekend and it flipping snows. Thunder and tons of wind all Saturday night. Nice sunny warm Sunday morning, and then walking home from church starts the insane wind and thunder again. Wake up on Monday to snow. SNOW. It has officially been 12 days since I've moved back up here and it has already snowed...aka ruined my life. Then I decide to get deathly ill (again) on Tuesday, causing me to literally wish that I could stab out my own stomach--which I'm actually surprised I didn't throw up, because everything else came out. Lovely, I know. But let me just make this one quick point. This is the 3rd time in less than 5 months that I've been this badly sick to the point where I'm throwing up everything inside of me...and for no reason. I don't really think that's normal...so apparently I'm just retarded, and I guess that's fine. It would be a little nice to know what exactly is wrong with me though. Oh well, that's all my venting for now. I have tons of homework and studying to catch up on now. (yay.) Wish me luck!

summer 08

I'm ridiculously upset right now because I just typed an entire post and for some reason it all got deleted. Yeah, uh sort of ruined my week. So now I just have to start over and do the best I can, but I'm gonna be honest it will not be that great. My sister decided to point out to me my extreme failure at documenting my summer...and I have to agree with her. The minimal posts that I did actually make were quite pathetic. So in an attempt to somewhat redeem myself I am including some pictures and highlights of what happened. (Pictures are on the previous post so check that out.) Anyways the summer started out with my roommates coming down to wonderful sunny California to visit. And let me just say we had so much fun! We went to the temple, Six Flags, Golf n Stuff...and so much more. Of course went to Wicked. 3rd time's the charm what can I say. I've loved it so much everytime. I'm so glad they decided to come. I figure I live in their state for 8 months out of the year, they can live in mine for a few days. :) We went to the beach a lot (where I inevitably locked my keys in the car--perfect I know. way to go Micaela, nice move!) That story however need not be detailed at the sake of saving myself from comments. but I will say that it was NOT fun. nor was it in any way easy. We went to Santa Barbara and did some shopping. Camarillo outlets as well. Basically just played in the sun all day and loved every minute of it. Anyways after all that it was just work. I nannied this summer and it was completely fabulous. I just love kids so much, and this was really the perfect job for me. I worked for 4 families, total of 9 kids. I grew to love them all so much, especially one family in particular. They had 4 kids, and the most adorable little 2 year old boy who I absolutely fell in love with. I wanted to take him home with me I swear. haha He even called me "My Caela" and it was so amazing. So I was pretty busy with the 9 kids, but when I got the chance I hung out with my friends back home too. I went to graduation where I got to see the rest of my best friends get their diplomas. Crazy that they're all grown up! (and most actually older than me.) At the end of June it was time for the family trip to Colorado. It was so much fun, we all really loved it. We spent a day at Winter Park which was awesome. Hours of jumping on huge trampolines with harnesses attached and racing down the alpine slide. My older niece Kelsey (3 at the time) loved it and she would race everybody down, the little dare devil. Thanks to everyone for coming because I really loved it and I miss seeing you all! We also went to hammond's candy factory where we got to see how they made all that delicious candy and get some freebies too. It was delicious what can I say. Then I decided to fly to Vegas for the 4th of July weekend so I could spend some more time with my sister and brother-in-law and the little baby girls! I love them dearly. We lit off and watched tons of fireworks, then swam all night. The next day it was up to Pine Valley to catch up with some more family at our cabin. Spent the weekend fishing and shooting. Kelsey of course caught the first and biggest fishes of the whole weekend. I only say fishES because it wasn't only one. She caught lots! I think it was a fun time had by all. Then back down to Vegas for Kelsey's birthday and birthday party where I tried to help Andrea with everything I could do. It was so much fun and now I miss them all so much! Back home again after that where it was just back to work and trying to manage spending time with friends and family. August of course brought the long and anxiously awaited release of Breaking Dawn--the 4th and final installment in the Twilight Saga for those of you who don't know. I was of course there for the midnight party at Borders and had wristband #8. Yes I am proud. :) haha I read it 3 times before I came up to school and it was amazing just so we all know. Then the week after was the BD concert series and book signing. Amazing night, one of the best I've had in...forever. Stephenie Meyer is an incredible author and seeing her and talking with her was fantastic. I went with one of my best friends Brianna and we made AMAZING shirts the night before. They totally dominated, and were absolutely the best ones there, no doubt about it. It took a lot of time, but so worth it, while of course we watched Never Back Down. I highly recommend it by the way because it's wonderful. Then it was a reunion of sorts when the first girl of the group decided to run off and get married. :) Crazy I know but she was beautiful. Got to see a lot of friends I haven't seen in so long and it was a lot of fun. I had to say goodbye again to all my best friends. It was really hard, and didn't turn out exactly as I thought but all is done with now. I miss everyone and I love you all. Now I'm just back up at school and just finished my first week of school here. It's been interesting, and incredibly stressful but I'm really hoping I can figure everything out. Kickboxing by the way totally kicked my butt on the first class, no pun intended. I guess that's it now, and I should probably go do some homework...or something. :)

i really know these aren't in order but i tried.

it was obviously far too complicated for me! :) but these are all my best friends. and there are stories behind all the pictures so if you don't understand, please ASK me. :)

Can I just say

that last night was absolutely one of the most incredible nights of my entire life? Because yes, it was. Breaking Dawn concert series was amazing. But more to come later because I am exhausted.

i realize that its been too long.

and I know I should definitely work on it, but I've just been really busy...and crazy distracted. I don't even remember how long it's been or what has happened since I wrote last, but honestly the only important thing to me right now is breaking dawn. Sad I know, but come on. Brianna and I got our tickets for the BD book signing//concert series here in LA and we can not even wait. It's on Thursday and I am almost salivating with excitement. haha We made our totally awesome shirts and went to the midnight party on Friday. It was fab. I got 3 hours of sleep and just finished the book. It was amazing, I'm not even going to lie. I literally loved it, but now unfortunately am seriously depressed because it's officially over. DONE. hard to believe. Don't get me wrong I have every intention of reading the whole series over (again-because I've obviously already read twilight, new moon, and eclipse multiple times...i believe it was 5 or 6.) It's just sad to think that's the end. Of course I'm still waiting for Midnight Sun, but I realize that it's going to be some time before that. On the opposite end of things, I only have a couple weeks left at home before it's back up to school again. freezing. just perfect. I've really had an awesome summer. I've loved working, I'm a nanny for those of you who don't know. The kids are for the most part absolutely adorable. Stressful and aggravating moments here and there, but all in all I can't complain. I am however the only one of my friends who has finished breaking dawn yet and therefore I have no one to discuss with as of yet. So please, could someone help me out?! I'm counting on you Andrea. I realize also that I was trying to break away from twilight but alas that is all my mind is focused on right now. Sorry. :)

midnight party!

i am severely disappointed.

not to mention depressed. not only was the first twilight trailer about 20 seconds long, but totally unlike the book. still having a seriously difficult time with the whole cast as well. hello OC: the movie. is it really necessary? i think not. at any rate that is no longer my only legitimate fear//worry. the trailer is wrong...in more ways than one. it does not follow the book and yes i realize that its a movie so of course it wont follow exactly. but we are not talking preciseness anymore. we're talking NOT AT ALL. it cuts out everything. such important things too. its like unreal. i'm seriously upset. all this crap about making it right and perfect so the avid readers such as myself will actually enjoy it...i'm convinced that its crap now. they also just put up the first "full length clip" which is by the way ridiculous. i mean its not the like the book and i realize that cam gigandet is james who is obviously bad. but more than that they make him ugly which is really sad actually because he is seriously attractive, but even more than that he makes weird grunting noises that are just awkward to say the least. i am now very upset with the fact that even stephenie meyer is saying oh this movie is going to be great and perfect and yadda yadda yadda. its all lies. i cant handle it. its just not right to take something so fabulous and turn it into...for lack of a better work crap. i mean don't get me wrong i'm not saying that it won't be alright (although i'm beginning to have my serious doubts...) but it won't be the book. which as i recall was the whole point. granted that the author is actually an active role in this movie. i thought it would be better. i thought she would absolutely make sure that it was right. because she should. it's only going to be a letdown and that is not ok. now that i'm done venting, go ahead and watch the clip here http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=237340
and with that i will pathetically state that i will still be there midnight opening day. so much for sticking it to the man. i am weak.

it has been forever.

i know. ive been really busy. i had finals week which was ridiculous and i got really sick with the flu. then it came time for me to move back home. i had to say goodbye to all my friends which was pretty sad. i'm sick of saying goodbye. i honestly feel like that is all that i ever do. leave home say goodbye to family and friends leave school say goodbye. and in a couple months leave again. its depressing me. :( anyways so then my roommates come down to visit and we had an absolutely amazing time...well i guess i should say i had an absolutely amazing time, i'm just assuming and HOPING that they did as well. we went down to the temple and we went to beverly hills, santa barbara, shopping, magic mountain which i swear was totally empty. we literally walked right onto every ride. no waiting in line at all it was incredible and so much fun. we went to wicked! (my 3rd time but hey i love it!) rented a limo with the most fabulous driver. he was honestly the nicest guy ever. we went to the walk of fame and we went down exploring in hollywood. we spent a lot of time at the beach and then went miniature golfing. it was great! after that i took a break cuz i was exhausted. haha then finished reading my book and went and got the next one in the series which i started yesterday and its so good. i also got offered a job in the hamptons, london, and a few up north. they all seemed like crazy amazing opportunities. but i just want to be home. at least for one summer. i mean i haven't been here for 9 months and it was really hard on me. but i'm thinking about it for next summer so we'll see. i just got a job nannying for a family in newbury park they have 2 little girls and the oldest one is going to turn 4 next week and her name is micaela too! she's about the same age as kelsey so i think it will be really fun. the younger one is 2 1/2 and her name is mia. they're both extremely cute, of course not as adorable as my 2 little nieces. they are my favorite little babies! :) anyways thats just part time 2 or 3 days a week from 7-2. and then there's a couple other families that want me to watch their kids at night. i think i'm going to take the other job in newbury because they're LDS and seem like a very nice family. they also know the Green's (who i guess only Andrea and mom would know, but still) they have 3 little girls and a baby boy. i haven't met them yet so i don't actually know their exact ages but i can't wait! anyways, i guess that's it for now. ooh except i went cosmic bowling on saturday and it was so much fun! i also got asked to prom which i was way excited for until...we kinda decided not to go...well actually he decided lol but thats fine i'll live (even though now i'm so sad. :/ ) but yeah i believe that is all. i'm extremely ready to go to the beach again. i miss it so much! i think i'm going on saturday finally so yay!

so i dont know how many of you watch the office but...you really should. its completely amazing. anyways this year for april fools day i decided i had to do something big. and let me say it was AWESOME. i snuck into dustins room and took his name tag from work and his bag of change...which wasnt easy by the way. and i was seriously questioned like a criminal by a certain someone else who lives in his apartments. seriously it was ridiculous. anyways i got a bunch of jello packets and made them all in a big bowl. when it was getting "jello-like" for lack of a better word, i stuck his name tag in the very bottom so when we took it out of the bowl it would be showing so he'd know it was for him. :) then all the change was suspended in the jello and it was amazinggg. basically...i am like unto jim himself. :) mmm.

welllll.....

I really don't remember what I was going to say here actually...which is really quite sad because it was gonna be so good. Hmm...now I got nothing. Lets think about what I can now make up I guess. For starters, I'd just like to tell you about my morning. I woke up super tired, even though I went to bed way early, it was like 11 I think. Anyways so I get up and I decide to actually straighten my hair today because I haven't for like a week, and I just couldn't handle it anymore. So my blinds are closed because otherwise the lights outside my building keep me up at night but I can see light shining through so I'm getting all excited so I put on just a tshirt and some jeans and start to do my hair. Then I realize it's really hot in my room because our apartment is like a freaking sauna I swear so I open the blinds to open the window and I see a BLIZZARD. Yes, thats right. A BLIZZARD. IN APRIL. So while I fought off the strong urge to umm throw myself off the building, I'm thinking how stupidly ironic it is that TODAY is the day I decide to actually get ready. It was nice, really. Now I'm in class staring out the window and the still snowing ugly gray sky. And ya know what? I am so done with it all. I am tired of waking up to this everyday. I am ready to go home which thank goodness I am sooo very soon. I can't even wait! Not a lot has happened lately. Kara's cousin came up a couple weeks ago and we had so much fun! The 3 of us went to the mall and tried on prom dresses and had lunch. It was amazing! Now I really miss prom and the amazing times I had. I found the most beautiful dress and I wanted it so badly, we took pictures but haven't gotten them back yet so I'll put them up when I get them. Also on Sunday I put together a 500 piece puzzle all by myself (which was impossible for multiple reasons, one being the fact that the puzzle was just a huge picture of a bunch of buttons. It was really hard) anyways I got it all put together only to realize that the very center piece was missing. Talk about raining on my parade...literally in all ways. Anyways, today there is a sexual assault seminar going on, and all my guy friends are walking a mile in high heels! It's really entertaining...but also pretty cool to. I went to the book fair yesterday because I live to look at books...seriously which I realize is pathetic yes. Anyways my friend Dustin got me a new poster and I love it! haha I also got a new book and I'm excited it's in a series and thank goodness the other 3 succeeding books are already out so I don't have to wait...unlike harry potter and twilight. I'm so stoked. This first one is called Uglies and the next 3 are pretties, extras and specials. PS. everything was 50% off yesterday so the book only cost me 2.67. I know I'm amazing. ;) Anyways the book seems really cool so far even though I've only read the first 10 pages because I'm trying so hard to pace myself this time. Anyways, guess I should uhh get back to paying attention in class now...or pretending! :)

so yes.

its been awhile but theres sadly still not a lot to say...spring break was wonderful but crazy busy first i was doing a bunch of wedding shower stuff which was fun but im glad its all over. my sister came down with my nieces and we got to go to disneyland it was completely fantastic. i totally forgot how much i loved that place. it was so magical :) really sad that kelsey and katelyn have been there more times than i have though when they 1. don't even live there and 2. are like 1/6th of my age. lol oh well. i also got to spend some time with alyson whom i dearly miss and i cant wait for summer so i can come home and we can hang out again. speaking of...i need a job so anybody who'd like to help me out there or give me some ideas...it would be greatly appreciated. well school is extremely stressful right now i have loads and loads of work to do but what can i say discipline is not one of my strong points...and procrastination is. no worries though cuz it will definitely get done. and on time too! i wanted to do some traveling this summer so i was looking at trips i could take at this college student tour place and i found some ones that would be amazing but sadly the even the cheapest one is $1800 and heaven knows i can't afford that. :( what to do what to do. ive been going crazy lately with homework and school and...life. so i decided to go for a walk tonight. leave it to me to wait until its totally dark and i have no idea where im going to come up with the brilliant idea of going by myself to who knows where. anyways it was terrifying. thats really all you need to know. details are seriously not necessary unless you want to have a heart attack. lol but im alright i just got home and its freezing. oh well i guess i need to either get some sleep (because i never do and im exhausted) or get some work done...which i really should but i doubt it will happen. :/ anyways thats it.

soo yes.

ive started to realize how amazing this year has been...and how much history ive seen (...alright and made myself. :) heehee) anyways to start off i saw stew morrill break the record and become most winningest coach. i also saw jaycee carroll (whom i love btw and would totally marry if he didn't already have a wife...actually id probably marry him anyways lol) break the record and become the new all time points leader at usu. i also saw him play his very last game at the spectrum ever just tonight. love it all so much its just completely incredible. on the other hand yesterday was one of the most embarrassing times of my life when the fire alarm in our building went off while i was IN THE SHOWER. yes thats right INSIDE. now that really i have to say about that. if anyone wants more details feel free to ask. but lets just say it didnt go well. anyways now i have A LOT of stuff to do before this week ends and i will finally have a week to relax and recover. and that is the only things thats getting me through right now...well i guess i better go work on all that.

RIP 2

this is really pathetic. we're down to only 1 fish again...i mean granted these ones did live a lot longer but still. what are we doing wrong?! on the bright side of things i turned 18 this week and had an amazing birthday! my sister sent me some awesome things including a PLAY-DOH PACK! you have no idea how awesome it is! i love it its so much fun and my parents sent me clothes which i love and some books which im really trying to pace myself through! but they're really good so its hard! i just really love to read. ugh then my roommates got me some awesome stuff too. they got me some new nerf gun darts that glow in the dark and a stuffed animal cuz i talk about how much i want one all the time lol its a little lion and i named him gus. and also they got me NEWSIES! ahh cuz my copy broke! im so excited it was wonderful. thursday i went on a date and it was so much fun and we saw jumper which i actually really enjoyed...kara and i also got ice cream cake which was adorable.

then last night we had a party built a fort had a sleepover and watched movies. i love it. tonight we're going to dinner at olive garden its going to be delicious! :)
ps. oh yeah and our firend steve stole my roommates shoes and wrote like this huge ransom letter and everything and she knew it was him the whole time but he didn't know she knew...anyways so to get him back when one of the fish died we froze it in an ice cube and put it in his drink hahahahaha it was wonderful! lol :) we have so much fun!

new fishies

ok we now have kusco, harvey, otis, and howard. of course to go along with mr gary cosmo. :) they're alive too. which means im totally awesome at keeping pets. and i frosted some AWESOME cookies. they're totally cute. um lets see there was literally a blizzard today. we got a half foot of snow and school was cancelled. of course it would just happen to be AFTER my classes. which was lamesauceeee. and i think we're back to having it again tomorrow so im sad now. we've been playing NERTZ a lot lately since sunday. and its amazing i love it. right now we're watching the office season 2 i believe. im so excited the strike is over so we can get back to new episodes again. which will be so nice. umm everyone's getting their mission calls which is crazyyy! um 3 day weekend so im excited we're seeing a movie on monday friday i have a date and saturday i guess we'll have to wait and see. mhm :)

RIP norman, wanda, walter, mr darcy, and bullwinkle :(

so im watching the super bowl..and it sucks. i will never understand why people find this to be the greatest day of the year. what a waste of my life. not even the commercials are good. and the halftime show? yeah no. it was pretty much ridiculous. other than that, i made dinner tonight for all of us and it was totally delicious. and now im making peanut butter cup brownies and oh my goshhhhh they smell so amazing. i mean WOWWWW. so we played nevada last night in basketball and definitely won which was wonderful as always. but apparently they were supposed to be like a good time...which is weird cuz they...weren't. we won by a good 15 points. and then i went on my date which was fun! :) im kinda excited about this one. ive always been a big fan of new boys ;) we went to coldstone and then to the temple which was so pretty all lit up and everything. then we came back to my apartment and just talked it was nice. oh yeah and um our last fish died...depressing i know lol now we only have cosmo the baby snail left. we are actually thinking about getting more though sooo we'll see. i guess thats it for now i already did most of my homework i just have to write one more paper and its not due till tuesday i think so i should be fine. well brownies are done now i think so im gonna go enjoy those. be jealous! :)

2 records broken.

so this weekends been pretty much really bad except for saturday night...which was completely amazing. the basketball game was wonderful and jaycee carroll (obviously) broke the record. sad that he's married though lol hes extremely attractive. although they did only get married in july and her name is bailey (like a dog) so maybe theres still time haha kidding!!!!! anyways the next home game isnt until february 2nd which is 2 weeks away! ugh its so lame im really gonna have no life. umm anyways boys are being really dumb. :) but then again i should be used to that by now. no school today so i got to sleep which was fantastic. my TA still hasnt emailed me back from a week ago so i dont know how im supposed to write this paper...thats special. my parents are coming up this weekend so that will be nice. but yeah other than that nothings really going on except that i really need to do homework right now so i guess im going to...attempt...to do that. :)

i know i know

so its pretty much been like a year since ive been on here. ive been crazy busy i was home for winter break which was wonderful. i worked at toys r again and it was nice i missed it and i do now too! i got to see some of my best friends who i hate being away from. there was however at least one person i wish i could have seen. :( oh well thats how it goes i guess. christmas was wonderful as it always is. andrea and dave surprised us and came down with the little ones which was like the best ever. i love and miss them all so much. i of course went to supercross round 1 while i was home. it was wonderful as ever. ryan dungey won and i love him so it was all just fantastic. so anyways im back up at school now its been nice im taking writing, creative arts, cultural anthropology, and social ethics. i love most of my classes so far. institute is still great i was able to finally find a class taught by the same teacher i had last semester cuz he was absolutely amazing. umm lets see what else has been going on. just school recently i also went sledding for the first time since ive been up here. let me just point out that it is absolutely terrifying and its gonna take a heck of a lot of convincing to get me to go again. :) haha im such a wuss i know. ive been hanging out with friends a lot. im hopefully going rock climbing soon with my friend justin im excited! umm what else? the past couple weeks have been outrageously confusing but i think maybe it might be getting better...eventually lol went on a date last night which was fun. then played scrabble and scattergories and lost miserably at both...it was really pathetic actually i used to be GOOD at those games. i guess it doesnt help too much when you play with my roommate whos an english major :) and everyone kept taking all the spots that i so desperately needed haha it was fun though. umm went to the gym this morning with my roommate. it was freezing...just as a side note. lol umm i still have a lot of stuff to do...stuff i need to catch up on, mostly movies. but im working on it! i have crazy amounts of homework but hey it keeps me busy. i rarely get much sleep which makes me tired in basically all of my classes but ill live. my roommate kara and i went to the jazz game in salt lake against the indiana pacers (i think) it was a lot of fun! i met her family. we had some hilarious and awesome experiences with that night. her brother is...very funny and way nice. (asked kara for my number but she wouldnt give it to him hahaha sad. i would totally LOVE to talk to that kid) umm basketball games have started up again and of course i am at everyone. stew morril broke the record thursday and is not the "most winningest coach" (i know sounds retarded but i swear thats what they call it) with 226 wins against the boise state broncos. and more to come naturally! it was the scariest most amazing and intense game ive ever been to but absolutely loved every minute of it as usual. tonight we play idaho which i will also be there for. jaycee carroll is going to break the second record. for most career points. hes currently 2 points away from beating it. it was sooo extremely close to being a double record breaking game which would have been ever crazier than it already was. everythings been great. i think thats it for now. ive got homework to do of course so i guess i should get workin on that.
ps. no school monday! :)
