QUICK!!

IT IS SO NICE OUT!! I AM SO HAPPY!!

I FEEL LIKE ENTHUSIASTICALLY YELLING EVERYTHING!!!

this is me enjoying the sun in my yellow shirt (and enjoying how long my hair is getting :) )

I am a sun person. If there is no sun shining in the sky, there is no shining in Laura going on.. hence why most of my winter posts are not all that happy. haha

So, I decided to blog real quick before the sun went away.
SO, with the sun being out, and me being a ridiculous amount of happy..
I am just amazed and so excited..about everything-

1- I bought this flower/plant a few weeks ago.. it's totally cute.. but the leaves were getting droopy, and the flower part was completely bent over this morning!! so I was wondering how to make it stay up straight while it grows... and I was kinda sad about it.. then the sun comes out, and i'm looking at the flowers.. and I think- well I don't know what to do, but I should water it in the meantime. I watered it like an hour ago, and it's completely straight up now!! :O AMAZING!!! (on a normal winter depressing day I would be like "huh.. that's fun.." but i'm like freaking out right now about how cool it is! lol

2- I ranted a few posts ago about music... well, Nessun Dorma is an AMAZING song!! listen to it really loudly.. I seriously don't understand you people that listen to music quietly.. yes, when you have to.. that's fine. but TURN IT UP!!! FEEL it!!! make it like you're THERE!!

3- Daddy says the northern lights will be out tonight!!! YAYYY!!! all I have to do is stay up late, and figure out where north is! haha I love seeing the northern lights!! so cool!

4- I went through some mission pictures and videos.. they are soooo random and GREAT!! I miss my mission somethin fierce!

well, this post has taken me forever.. the sun is almost down! I have to end it on a happy note!!

I LOVE THE SUN!!

That's it!

So, I've been grossly sick for a few days now.. maybe that's why I was so thirsty?? boh! no clue.
This pic is a good representation of me since wednesday! no makeup, and still doesn't even look as bad as I feel!

anyway, I've had a lot of time on my hands.. not that it was enjoyable AT ALL.. you know when you're super busy, and you just want a sick day... then you get one, and it's the WORST cause you're sick..? haha well, that wasn't really me this time.. I've been busy, but not grossly, and I haven't been craving a sick day.. BUT I got one... or three..

So, I was using toilet paper to blow my nose (yuck.. i know) and then that started to hurt my nose.. like on the commercials.. it's CRAZY how much of a difference there can be between toilet paper, and kleenex- they must use a different kind of tree..? :\ anyway.. it's scary how accurate the commercials are! My nose felt like it was in a cloud when I used kleenex! (actually- it was Puffs!, with the vicks vapo stuff infused or whatever.. it was excellent!)

ON another note..

I am going to be adding little tips or rules , or little.. tibits in each blog from now on..

#1- FACEBOOK- if you are on chat, chatting with people.. and you have to go. TELL THEM.. don't just leave.. next time someone does that.. I'm going to just randomly hang up on them- mid-story the next time I talk to them on the phone. YEP - cause it's the same thing..
(there are exceptions... but very few)

I AM SO THIRSTY!

... no deep meaning to that title.. i'm just really thirsty!!

I suppose I could deepen it..?

Well, on Sunday we had testimony meeting. , and there seemed to be a theme of scripture study.
I just wanna say "Amen" !

Sometimes it's crazy that we know something will make us happy, and it will help us in life,and make things easier.. but we just don't do it!!? WHY?! It's nuts!!

We in the YSA branch are challenged to read the Book of Mormon by April General Conference. That means 6 pages a day. (starting Feb 1st) I have a little bit of catching up.. cause I'm one of those people I mentioned above.

In my defense, it's not just scriptures that I neglect sometimes.. I also skip eating.. lol takes too much time... (don't worry.. I don't skip eating often..)
Anyway- the point was not to confess all my sins and weaknesses.. haha the point is- The scriptures are good, and make you happy, so don't be silly, learn from them!! Quench you're spiritual thirst :)

SNOW- holy moly! It's time to go away.. forever- please and thank-you!

check out this snow!! that's from a morning of snow, not the whole winter!

haha the snow was wet and heavy.. it would accumulate so fast, and then fall off the branches in big clumps! so yeah, the tress were throwing snowballs at me!! Rude!

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!!

BEFORE

it's kindof a dark picture anyway..

Welp... Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!! :) It has been a great day so far! I'm just at Ashley's now hanging out with her and little baby Sophie!! oo speaking of sophie, i have a funny pic of her too haha

she's got some crazy hair lol

and crazy faces.. i LOOOVE HERR

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. ;)
