I've been alive for 24 years!

Happy Birthday to me :)

I was gonna go home for the weekend.. but it is just so expensive taking the bus.. I might as well just buy a car.. anyway.. I have some pretty great roomies.,,

Amberle made these pizzas that were healthy and veryyy yummy!! one had peppers on it, and the other asparagus.. YUM

sorry, i don't have a real camera.. so my pics are all from my phone (not good quality)

Amber made a crazzy awesome cake!! Both of them worked so hard on my Birthday dinner!

finished product.. so pretty eh??

Candles! I blew them all out in one breath.. so I was all excited, cause that means your wish will come true... but then I was informed that the ones that remain lit represent the number of boyfriends you have/will have.. haha sooo what if your wi

sh was for a boyfriend?? haha juuuuust kidding... :\

yum look at those 4 layers.. sooo goooood. that is how much the 3 of us ate.. so we called/texted up some people.. Nathaniel won. lol I texted him and then before he even texted back to say ok.. he was buzzing my apartment

haha. too funny!!

I also dyed my hair .. every so often, I need to do some

thing to my hair.. it's "golden brown" but it's never the color it says it is at the beginning.. it's basically black!!

Happy January 25th!

Music really makes me happy.

Rough weekend.. now i'm waiting for my Dentist appointment.. listening to music.
A world without music would not be a world I could survive in!

Another thing I love is, to laugh!

I like bright, happy colors! (that's why i'm wearing dark jeans and a black shirt today..?) haha

Love # 3 (but not in importance) = CHURCH!! I don't normally plan to not pay attention in church, but Saturday night was sad.. and I needed to write in my journal, so I brought it along.. I didn't write in it though, because the talks and lessons were amazing! Not only did I feel they were talking to me.. but pretty sure they even LOOKED at me more than anyone else.. haha I very well could be crazy.. but I'm not so sure.

Love# 4 -People! I love people! contrary to what some people I know may think.. I really love the people around me. Sure, sometimes they are frustrating, (especially when they're TRYING to be) but I try to see the good in everyone, and i'm almost always successful in that.
We are all Heavenly Father's children.. how can I not love my brothers and sisters, if He does??

Love #5- Family and real friends :) I love love love love them

dentist time.. :P I'll have to stop my love list for now.. bye bye :)

Look at me Blog!

Well,

Look at me go! I said I probably wouldn't blog before New Years even!! I am on top of things!
So, the reason for my post today..

A fantastic friend, who I like to call the RM Date Dr., called me today, it was an awesome Christmas present :)
So, RM Date Dr. told me a story, that made me laugh pretty hard... and I'm still laughing..
I need to share this with you all! He has the best stories..

it's called

You Suck

"First date. Christmas time. Old high school friend. The night started off as planned. My date and I decorated gingerbread houses with one of my buddies and his date. We turned it into a competition, which we won, but that my friend is irrelevant. Signs of interest began to surface with a flirtatious punch on the arm here, or a half hug for the picture there, or the old fashion eye contact. By ten o’clock I had not only realized that we had made the best gingerbread house, but also that I may be getting a little treat myself by the end of the night. We began to watch a movie on the trampoline and the classic/awkward middle school holding hands thing happened... You all know what I am talking about, The you-put-your-hand-down-by-your-side-and-if-the-girl-puts-her-hand-by-her-side-too-you're-good-to-go. Sure enough I tossed out the line and she bit... Time to reel her in!

Nothing wrong with a little friendly cuddling on a first date right? I mean after all its December and cold outside. Well my buddy and his date took off and me and the lady friend were left alone. We continued to cuddle and the epic moment came. It was time for our first kiss. The first kiss in the dating world is huge. You can learn so much about a person by this small gesture. Its been said that the first kiss does tell it all for a woman. I mean we have all seen the movie Hitch don’t act like you don’t know what I am talking about. I think that the first kiss is huge for guys too. After building up the courage I decided to go for it. The first kiss was great! Then it went downhill... I have heard a synonym for making out called suck face. Sadly enough that is what she began to do! Suck my face, my tongue, my lips and my teeth. Not nice and pleasant, but more like a Hoover vacuum. The Hoover Wind Tunnel 500 to be exact (don’t ask questions.- Lets just say in middle school you get dared to do some pretty interesting things.)

It was very intense! She is going to dental hygiene school so the thought that maybe she was just trying to clean my mouth crossed my mind, but wouldn’t that be malpractice? A fun side note: because of the intense sucking going on, a weird fart sounding noise would happen, which I without fail always giggled at.
So what is a guy to do in this situation? Ask her what the freak she is doing? Stop immediately? Try to Hoover Wind Tunnel 500 her back?
Luckily it was late and we called it a night. Also a plus is that I didn’t get a bruised fat lip that would be hard to explain to the friends and family the next day. Another answer to my prayer is that she is going to school in Utah and leaves within a week to go back. However, as I went to bed that night I laid awake thinking of things that I would have rather done then get some from this household cleaning appliance lady (she really could probably be a sales rep for Hoover Vacuums). This is the list of ten things I would have rather done then kiss this girl on the first date sucky situation (pun intended). I hope you enjoy!


1. I would rather dive into the shallow end of the pool.
2. I would rather get eaten alive by a Parana.
3. I would rather stick a fork in an outlet.
4. I would rather eat a light bulb.
5. I would rather get sprayed in the eye with PAM.
6. I would rather get hit in the head by a baseball bat....10 times!
7. I would rather have a baby pee on my face.
8. I would rather give a talk in General Conference.
9. I would rather get both of my legs amputated.
10. I would rather eat a truck drivers scab.

haha ok that was the story.. and i'm pretty sure if I added anything else to it, I'd ruin the hilarity! Poor RM Date Dr. haha

Merry Christmas!

Yay for Christmas time.

Christmas is making me think about my mission (surprise surprise... everything makes me think about my mission haha)
It was so much easier to talk to people at Christmas time. Reminding people about why we celebrate Christmas was so fun, and having people want to hear it, was even better!
We should celebrate Christmas all year long! It's so happy, and pretty :)

I love my family!! I'm excited for us to be together. I wish even extended family and friends could be here too. That would be so great!

Well, I looked at people of walmart yesterday.. (not for the first time) Its too funny. Then today, I decided to go to wal-mart (new glasgow isn't such a happenin' place.. so it is the cool thing to do I promise haha) but I was NOT looking good. I had just been playing basketball, and was wearing grey-ish-blue capri-ish sport type pants (haha do you have it pictured in your mind?), navy blue t-shirt with a pink SLC, Utah sweater, and brown boots haha. (oh- and no make-up, and gross hair) I was a person of wal-mart! haha
Why did I do it? Cause I just didn't care. lol I had no one to impress there.. so that makes me think.. the actual ppl of wal-mart.. prob don't care either.. guy in the fox suit.. just didn't feel like changin into some regular clothes.. haha I HEAR ya buddy! haha

welp, I've ranted long enough..

Lates!!

oh! I'm deff wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and perhaps even a Happy New Year now.. since I'm majorly horrible at blogging on a regular basis. :) (and spell check has just made me aware that "majorly" isn't a word!! what the?!?!
I could write a book full of words that I honestly thought were correct haha.. maybe I'll call it... the Dictionarie. ;)

I wonder?

Sometimes I wonder "Why does Heavenly Father bless me so much when I really don't deserve it?"

Today wasn't a horrible day, but it wasn't the best day of my life either. I was late for church, and missed sacrament, which was disappointing, then had a friend try to make me feel bad for it even though it wasn't my fault.. Then I have another friend that TRIES constantly to frustrate me.. and he succeeds all too often! It isn't very kind of him to do that, but I can't make someone kind if they don't want to be.

Obviously I'm grateful that I have the best parents in the world, that taught us so well in many things, but specific to this blog, how to treat others, and how to be polite, and considerate of others. Like I said, I'm grateful for that, and It makes me happy to treat others well, but I think this knowledge also makes me more frustrated inside at people who don't know how to treat others. I just can't imagine finding any type of satisfaction in making someone sad, or insecure, or upset at all.

So, I a little bit lost my patience with someone today, and I feel bad.. but he doesn't.. *sigh*

Anyway.. later, I talked to a GREAT friend on Facebook, and He always makes everything better, and he did an especially good job this time :) He just makes me smile inside and out!

THEN as if that wasn't enough, I talked to another friend, briefly and he made me feel good too. I didn't even say anything about a hard day.. he's just that good!!
They obviously also have some pretty great parents that taught them to be kind, and to have Christlike love for everyone..

I'm glad Heavenly Father reminded me that He loves me, and that he put some pretty awesome people in my life. I'm definitely giving props to Chris and Dave. They deserve the credit for SURE!!! Thanks for being so awesome!!

:D

I wrote a song for Sophie.. and I sing it to her everytime i see her, at LEAST once...

It goes (to the tune of Little bunny fufu)
" Little Baby Sophie hoppin through the forest, skeefin all the field mice and boppin them on the head!"

haha i just came out one day... and i can't stop.. sorry little baby sophie..

Sophie is so so so cute though!! She was a froggy for Halloween check out my sisters blog to see pics of her as a frog, and as a cute little baby on her blessing day!

I love sophie!!!

btw- I have declared today : "DREAM DAY" (ex- i changed my relationship status on facebook today to "Engaged"... cause that's what I want to be.. )

It's tuesday, and it's already been a GREAT week ;)

Wanna see a funny picture?

Me too..

haha just kidding... it's comin.
So, when does your week start? I say Monday. Sunday is a good end to a week.. then Monday starts of a new set of days full of school, and other adventurous things..

Monday- I woke up, and was kinda panicked not because I was late, but because I couldn't remember what time I normally take the bus. Usually, I get to school about an hour early, but, lately, I've been getting the later bus that gets me there about 15 mins early.. ANYWAY, I had a test on Monday, so I wanted to get there good and early, and was so tired, I couldn't remember what time the bus was... so, I ended up being there almost a whole extra hour early.. haha.
So had my test at 10am, and finished by about 10:35am. Left, went to the gym, watched ppl workout.. haha just kidding.. I actually did gym-type things for a bit.. then went home.
Then, had an appointment with the sisters.. gooood lesson! :) :) Couldn't stop smiling, and missing my mission!

Went home, then soon after, Nathaniel Came to pick me up to go to his sister, Katrina's house to hang out a bit.. we hung out, talked, and they enjoyed some left over birthday cake of Nathaniel's (August 27th is his bday by the way.. lol)
We left, cause I had to study for my test the next day, and Nathaniel still wanted to go to the Gym. As we were leaving, Nathaniel asked if I wanted to go check out the temple... and I said no, since we'd be going on the weekend anyway, and he had to go to the gym and it was getting late etc.. now, I realize, I should have said yes..
We got to the MacKay bridge, and because of construction, there was only one lane that we needed to merge into.. and There was an 18-wheeler a little ahead of us.. Nathaniel thought he could get ahead of it before the lane narrowed into one.. but he couldn't, and he realized that, so he stopped. But the back of the truck still hit us. It wasn't bad injury wise.. I'm quite sure that Nathaniel is worse off over all.. He didn't get physically hurt, but he's super stressed!
I feel so horrible, cause I definitely didn't make things easier for him. He's unnecessarily worried about me!The truck hit my side of the car, and I hit the back of my head on something.. but It really wasn't that bad. I went to the hospital, and they did a lot of unnecessary things, as you can see in the Picture.. also, you may notice my phone.. yes, it is permanently attached to my hand :D even in insane situations :)Anyway, got out of the hospital pretty quick, then when I finally fell asleep, I dreamt about the accident all night! Woke up, had a headache, and my neck was sore. When I stood up I felt hot and kinda nauseous.. but that eventually went away. Now I'm basically just down to a sore neck.

They joked about cutting my hair/shaving my head. NOT funny! haha.. and the guy putting the brace on me said I had a long neck.. Pretty sure he was complaining... but I wasn't :).. well not complaining about the compliment.. he was putting it on and was like "i'm pretty sure this is...." and i said "uncomfortable, yep!" haha i didn't listen to what he really meant to say, I just laughed at my funny :)

Well, that's the adventure of Nathaniel and I.. We are ok :D
