Joy does not Simply Happen to us

A Little over a year ago, I met Kyle on my first Sunday in my singles ward here in Utah. Lucky for us, he was on the fellow shipping committee, so we basically had to talk to each other. That day, I knew there was a such thing as love at first sight. The next Sunday, Kirsten and I stalked his life on facebook, because he was considerably the cutest guy in our ward. When we found him on facebook, he told us he had been trying to find us too. :P The following day Kirsten and I ordered a pizza, because we had a coupon. Come to find out, you can only use coupons if you go in the store. Sooo, we called up Kyle to see if he could give us a ride to the pizza place, and he told us only if we went to FHE with him. After FHE he invited us back to his house to watch a movie. After a couple of nights of watching movies until 3 am, he asked me on a date. Over the past year, he has become my best friend, and the love of my life. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else. We have had our major ups and downs, but they have just brought us closer together. So a couple of weeks ago we decided it's finally the right time for us to get married. This past Friday was one of the best nights of my life. Kyle picked me up from work, and when we got to his house, he told me to stay in the car until he told me to come in. When I went inside, he had a card taped to the wall that said "read immediately." At the end of the card he said there were some reasons why he loved me on note cards lining up all the way down the hall way. The last card said, "I could fill every card on this planet with reasons, just get in here already!" In the kitchen, he had set the table, and he was standing there holding a kitten and roses. I didn't know what to take first, so I just took the roses and set them down, then held the kitten. After I took the kitten, he got down on one knee, made it short and sweet and just asked if I would marry him. We ate the amazing dinner he fixed, AND he bought me my favorite ice cream. He spoiled me that night, to say the least. So, the kitten...was one I had been wanting from the humane society. I saw his picture on the website the week before, and just fell in love. Later that week, his picture wasn't on the website anymore, and I kind of gave up on looking for kittens. Low and behold, Kyle was the one who adopted him. His name is Toby, and he is the cutest kitten ever. We know it's really soon, but we are getting married November 23rd, and we are SO excited.

Hello September

A new blog post is long overdue. I moved into my new apartment a few weeks ago, and so far, I really like it. My roommates are really awesome. I'm actually pretty excited for classes to start next week. Besides my Art History class. I haven't heard very good things about it. I really like my new ward as well. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. If I were still in Ohio, I would be really excited that it's almost fall, but here in Utah, it seems to go straight from 80 degrees to 30. I miss the pretty trees and the cooler weather. I'm sure I will be back to blogging all of the time once class starts, but right now my life really isn't that exciting!

This is our entertainment center...fancy, huh?

House Hunting

So I'm extremely sick of the house I live in. I've met some really awesome girls (a few of my best friends), but I cannot deal with living with eight girls again. Especially for the price I pay. Now maybe I'm being too picky, but I've been feverishly looking for apartments for a few weeks now and I'm not having any luck. I just want a place that I can call home until I'm married and/or finished with school. If I were rich I would just have my own, little, one bedroom place. I don't really have any desire to have roommates. I can't wait to have my own house, so I can decorate it really cute. I wish I could just fast forward to the future and already be married, finished with school, with a real job. SO! I wrote that on...Friday I think, and today I got approved for an apartment at Citifront with three other girls! I'M SO EXCITED. My rent is 100 dollars less, but the apartment is 100 times nicer. I'm probably going to move in the weekend after I get home. I posted an ad on KSL saying a was looking for no more than 3 roommates, and I had a lot of responses, but the girls that kept in contact, and I all kind of put our apartment ideas together and found this place. It's an actual complex with a pool, workout room, etc. It's right behind the Gateway, and just as close to the school as my house is now. I've talked to two of my three roommates on the phone and they seem really nice. One of them as a puppy, which I'm pretty excited about! My roommates names are Victoria, Alicia, and Lindsay. Did I mention how excited I am?! :D I'm also pretty excited for my classes. I'm taking all of them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I can work every other day. I'm taking Book of Mormon, Art History, Critical Thinking and Reason, American Civilization, and Intro to Geography. I thought taking all of my classes two days a week would make for a crazy schedule, but my earliest class is at 9:20 and my latest ends at 8:10..so not too bad! School starting brings up another point...I have to quit one of my jobs. I made a pros and cons list today for each job, and I still have no idea! Forever 21 or Victoria's Secret? Hmm.

Crazy Girl

Baby why you wanna cry?
You really oughta know that I
Just have to walk away sometimes
We’re gonna do what lovers do
We’re gonna have a fight or two
But I ain’t ever changin’ my mind
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl
Wouldn’t miss a single day
I’d probably just fade away
Without you, I’d lose my mind
Before you ever came along
I was livin’ life all wrong
Smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl
Crazy girl
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately,
I love you like
Crazy, girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl



This is why I need to be with someone who loves country music as much as I do, so he can sing me cute songs like this. :) 

Ohio Bound!

In two short days, I am returning to buckeye country for a couple of weeks. I am beyond excited! I'm excited to have two weeks off of work, to see my family and friends, to be away from responsibilities, have my mom cook for me, go to church in my own ward, sleep in a house with air conditioning, and so on! :) There are a few things I really want to do while I'm at home:

Spend all time that Kelsey Spahr isn't at work, with her

Zoombezi Bay!

Cedar Point?!?

Steak&Shake and BDub's

Rocky's Italian Ice 

Delaware Dam

Shopping at Polaris  

Columbus Zoo

All Things are Difficult Before They are Easy

I have an interview for a receptionist position tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed big time because I really want/need the job. As much as I love shopping, I'm so sick of going to the mall every day for both of my jobs. I want a real job where I sit at a desk, do paper work, answer the phone, and have a computer. I know I will still have to deal with mean, stupid people, but I feel like they won't be as...stupid. People come into F21 and VS as means of sheer entertainment. To try on clothes. Mean while, I'm working my bum off to put those clothes back and keep the store organized, while people ask me the craziest questions. There is no progression in my job. People mess up clothes, I fix them. Day after day. I want a job where I can go home feeling accomplished, or thinking, man I have a lot to get done at work tomorrow morning. The kind of things I have to worry about now are how many boxes of bras I'm going to have to sensor, or whether or not I'm going to be a cashier, because that's the job that makes the day go by fastest. This receptionist job would also make me happy because the hours are consistent. 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday. My hours at work now are so random. Sometimes I have to be at work at 6am and other times I'm at work until 6 am. (Not worth minimum wage). Not to mention, I've worked a couple 13 hour shifts where I only got one 15 minute break. So please pray that I will do well at my interview. It's for my sanity. :) Also! I get to see Sadie tomorrow. She's passing through on her way to Colorado, so we get to hang out all day tomorrow after my interview. AND..I'm going home in two weeks. WOO! 

To Love and Be Loved

It is a risk to love.

But what if it doesn't work out?

Ah, but what if it does.

Maybe it's true,

maybe we don't know what we have

until we've lost it.

but, maybe we don't know 

what we're missing

until we find it.

Loved you once, 

love you still,

always have,

always will.

"It's impossible" said pride.

"It's risky" said experience.

"It's pointless" said reason.

"Give it a try" whispered the heart.

Stop dreaming, start believing

Start living, stop fighting

Stop thinking, start laughing

Start loving, stop trying.

If you want to know

where your heart is,

look where your mind goes

when it wanders.

Love is not just about 

finding the right person,

but creating a right relationship.

It's not about how much

love you have in the beginning,

but how much love 

you build til the end.

Forget the reasons why it won't work,

and believe the one reason why it will.

Take a chance, 

because you never know how absolutely 

perfect something could turn out to be.

Some people come into our lives,

leave footprints in our hearts,

and we are never, ever the same.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul,

and makes us reach for more, 

that plants a fire in our hearts 

and brings peace to our minds.

Those three words,

are said too much,

they're not enough.

Run when Feeling the Pain then Push Harder

I woke up this morning with a mission in mind; find awesome, cheap, cute running shoes. I hunted all over the mall and other stores downtown and I FINALLY found a pair of Nike's for 20 bucks! I'm very picky about tennis shoes, so this was a great find for me. I haven't had running shoes in quite sometime so I haven't been running in quite sometime..I'm very out of shape. So I thought if I bought new shoes it would motivate me to go running. I started breaking them in as soon as I got home by running up to Capitol hill. So my new summer resolution is to go running at least a few times a week. My goal is to be able to run up Capitol hill and back home by the end of the summer. (Without dying). Although I don't enjoy running as much as some people, it does help me clear my mind and helps me justify all the ice cream cones I get from the Maverik. They are only a dollar...what can I say. I think I'm addicted to them. Not to mention, they have a punch card, buy ten cones get one free, and a friend of mine who works in there usually will punch half the card every time I go in. Although, I must say, these ice cream adventures were much more fun when Alina was here. Anyways..running. My new summer resolution!

Summer Lovin'

So, this is probably the longest I've ever gone without blogging, but I don't have much to blog about. Since I started working at Victoria's Secret, I spend most of my time at work, since I also kept my job at F21. I was reading through some old posts the other day and there was one that said, "I wish I worked at Victoria's Secret just for the discount." Well, while the discount is very nice, my hours are kind of crazy. Two days in a row last week I worked from 6 pm to 7 am. Yeah, AM. Careful what you wish for. ;) Alina Twitchell, moved back to Vegas, so when I'm not at work I'm extra bored. I miss her. BUT, I will see her next week at family camp. OH...Haleigh and I are getting an apartment together in the fall. I'm so excited! I wish she would come back right now, but then neither of us would have money for the apartment yet, so I guess I can wait. I have new song obsessions. It consists of four songs. Each of which, I listen to about five times a day:

Better Than Love- Griffin House
Someone Like You- Adele
Make You Feel My Love- Adele
If I Were You- Diagram of the Heart
We play the last song at F21, it puts me in a great mood, and I dance around the store every time we play it. I have another new thing...Transformers! I watched the first two movies the other day, then went a saw the third one..Me gusta mucho! Since I'm going camping next week, and probably going home in August, I found it very necessary to buy cute new carry-on stuff. I was scoping PINK stuff out the whole time I was at work today. I've had the same stupid Adidas duffel bag forever, and I'm sick of it. (I would just like to point out that spell check rejects both, "duffel" and "duffle" but I think "duffel" looks better). I also couldn't resist the cute weekend bag, so I went with both! Pretty nice purchase with my discount. :)

Happiness Depends upon Ourselves

I haven't posted a blog since I've been back in Utah, and I have this awesome internal alarm clock that doesn't let me sleep in, so I thought now would be a good time to post something! So when I got back from Ohio, I started dating this pretty cute boy named Seth. Seth and I have been friends for sometime now, since he's Ali's brother. This past weekend Ali and Seth decided they wanted to take a trip home to Vegas. Well Ali and I had been planning on going for a couple months, so I figured I would tag along. We rode down there with Andrew (Seth's roommate) and another guy that none of us knew. We left here at around 12 Friday night/Saturday morning. I only slept about an hour on the way there, but we got there in just a little over five hours. Ali and I attempted to go back to sleep when we got to her grandparent's house, but that just didn't work out. Saturday afternoon we kind of just hung out before their family get-together. I enjoyed getting to meet a lot of their family. They made me feel welcome, and they had great food! Saturday night we went down to the Strip. We just walked up and down and watched the water show a couple of times, but it was a Saturday night plus Memorial Day weekend, so it was pretty crowded. The experience was neat! Sunday we went to church in Ali and Seth's home ward. It was nice to go to a family ward. After church we went to their older sister's house to visit. Their mom made her famous chicken pot pie for dinner. It was way good! We played Apples to Apples...I never get sick of that game! Sunday night kind of made me a very happy girl. :) But that might be a story for another day. I will just say that Seth is the cutest boy ever. Sunday night Ali and I wanted to do our usual Denny's run,which turned out to be a major fail. Our waiter forgot to put our order in so we ended up being there way longer then we wanted to. We left early Monday morning, and I slept most of the way home. It was a very fun trip and Seth and Ali have an amazing family! "Remember to laugh when life give you a moment to breath, and smile when it takes your breath away." -A very wise man

I Want a Kitten

Once upon a time, I could not stand cats. In fact, I wasn't to fond of animals in general. But there was something about cats especially that I really didn't like. Not to mention, they made me sneeze like crazy. Last summer, I was a nanny for a family that had two cats. One was a long haired cat and the other, short haired. Scooter was the long haired one. He was really cute, so I started to warm up to him. I noticed after awhile that I could pet Scooter and he didn't make me sneeze at all, but if I even looked in the general direction of the other cat, I would start sneezing (doesn't make sense to me either). When I moved out to Utah and started talking to Kyle, he told me he had a cat. Well he told me it wasn't his cat, but he was "cat sitting" for a few months. I gave Shelby a chance because she reminded me of Scooter. "Kyle's" cat, Shelby, is the best cat in the world. I'm completely in love with her.

ISN'T

SHE

CUTE?!?!

Cutest cat in the world! So the reason I want a kitten now is because Shelby's real owners are taking her back soon. :( But thanks to her, I have a serious obsession with cats now. I even kind of want this to happen when I can have my own kitty:

Come Back to Me

I've been listening to this song nonstop the past couple of days. Thanks, David Cook. 

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you
You say you're leaving as you look away
I know there's really nothing left to say
Just know I'm here whenever you need me, I'll wait for you
So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
Take your time, I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you
Oh and I'll let you go, I'll set your free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me
I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bear
I can't face you, I can't save you
It's something you'll have to do
So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go, I'll set you free
And when you've seen what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me
You find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me

Airport Adventures

Yesterday was quite an eventful day. I was super excited to fly back to Ohio, minus the flying part. I used to think flying was really fun. I loved the take off and looking out the window at the clouds right beside the plane, but after not flying for a few years, I developed a serious fear. I did okay when I flew home for Christmas, but yesterday there were thunderstorms all across the east. The plane ride from Salt Lake to Memphis was fine, until we tried to land. I thought for sure we were going to crash. Once I got inside the airport, they were telling everyone to get inside the nearest bathroom because there was a tornado hitting Memphis at that very moment. Needless to say, I wasn't too worried about missing my flight at this point. After the tornado passed, they made an announcement saying all planes were grounded for at least the next hour. Oh on a side note...when I got off the plane in Memphis, one of the guys working in the airport pointed at my Ohio State sweatshirt and started SCREAMING about how Jim Tressel is a cheater, a liar, etc, etc. Uhm...That guy must really want to get fired or something. Anyway, I didn't want to be stuck in the Memphis airport all night, but then again I also didn't want to take off when the storm was still going on. We boarded at about 8:40, which worried me because there was still lightning all across the sky. The pilot came on and said "We are expecting this to be a pretty bumpy ride, it might be a little smoother about half way through...." The ride never got any smoother. The lady next to me told me she flies pretty often, like once a week often, and she said that flight was the worst she had ever been on. Which kind of gives me hope that I will never experience a flight worse than that. I've never been so happy as I was when we finally landed in Columbus, but once I picked up my suitcase, I realized that during the tornado warning, the lives of those who load luggage onto the plane are probably more important than our luggage and they had left all of our stuff outside. Everything inside of my suitcase was soaked. It was one in the morning, I had been up since 7, and all of my clothes were wet. It's a good thing Kelsey Spahr was there to greet me at the airport :) or I would have lost my mind last night. I was happy to see my mom and Cory too! I'm glad that day is over and I'm happy to be home. It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night.

Pictures Say a Thousand Words

So I originally wrote out this big, long post about my first year of college, all the new things I had done, accomplished, and all the wonderful people I've met. I have met so many amazing people, and I have done a lot of new things, but instead I decided to use a quote. I think it fits well...


"In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are. And in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn't be the person we are. So just live. Make mistakes, have wonderful memories, but never, ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly where it is you're going."

First day here!

Story of my life

I miss Kirsten!

Cannonville! 

Doughnut falls.

Packages always make my day!

Conference!

Sketchiest ice cream truck ever.

Antelope Island!

He is We <3

Orientation.

Haleigh's last night in Utah :(

Pardon Me While I Burst into Flames

Sometimes I just need to rant.
My boyfriend brought me home at 9:54 p.m. and now I have nothing to do...Ergo this post
I want a new job. Working at Forever 21 is fun and all, but I'd like something a little more practical
We have no toilet paper in my house except for the roll I stole from Kyle's house today
I can't stand rude, selfish people who have been coddled by their parents forever
I don't have any juice
I want ice cream
I've now moved to the top bunk and my phone charger doesn't reach that far, so I have to sleep with my laptop
I don't like when people don't respect other people's things. IT'S SO RUDE.
Hypocrites.
I need a new pair of moccasins. Pair number four?
I have to get up early to finish an English essay that I could be doing right now...ha
Ali isn't home
Immature people
I think I'm gaining weight
One of my favorite tank tops totally ripped
I have zero cute church clothes
These are the reasons my heart is so full of hatred today. :)   


On a happier note! It was 65 degrees today. I was so excited when I walked out of the house in flip flops. I can't wait until 65 is the low instead of the high. Kyle got a kitty cam for Shelby. It's way cool. It records everything from her point of view. The semester is almost over! Today was my last day for both of my Tuesday/Thursday classes. That means I get to go home soon. Oh oh! I'm going to General Conference on Sunday morning. Kyle and I have tickets. I'm stoked. 

You Might be From Ohio if...

Ohio (Uh-hi-uh)
1. You think all Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange
2. You know all four season: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction
3. You live less than 30 miles from some college or university 
4. You know what a buckeye really is and you have a recipe for them (they are my favorite!)
5. "Towards the lake" means "north" and "towards the river" means "south"
6. You know if other Ohioans are from southern or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths
7. You can spell words like Olentangy, Bellefontaine, Wapakoneta, and you know which letter is doubled in Cincinnati
8. "Vacation" means spending the day at Cedar point!
9. You measure distance in minutes
10. Your school classes were canceled because of cold
11. Your school classes were canceled because of heat
12. You've had to switch from heat to AC in the same day
13. You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition IE: "Where is my coat at?" (I HATE when people do this)
14. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked
15. You know what "pop" is 
16. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snow suit
17. Driving is better in the winter because the pot holes are filled with snow 

That last one is my favorite!

Sleep is Overrated

Even though I'm exhausted, I can't sleep. There are a few reasons for that, but those aren't important. I guess I could share a couple of the reason with you. First of all, one of my roommates is in her room singing like she's about to try out for American Idol. This is what Simon would say to her, "OKAY OKAY OKAY, that's enough. Now do you honestly think that was good?" (British accent of course). Not to mention it's 2:18 am. Is she unaware of this? I mean I know I'm awake, but I'm blogging, which is almost a silent task. The rest of my roommates are watching a movie downstairs probably on the loudest volume setting possible. Do they mind? Sorry I don't have a life and I'm trying to sleep in the middle of the night on a Saturday. Anyways, work was good today. I worked my first eight hour shift, but it was actually the most fun day I've ever had at work. I felt like a 90 year old lady when I got off though. My back hurt, my neck hurt, and my feet hurt from standing all day. Oh thank goodness! Now someone is playing music to add to the noise! COOOOL. I'm not sure if I should scream really loud and try to get everyone's attention at once or if I should just sit here on the computer until the whole house is quiet? I've been thinking about this song all day and it's a good one, so I shall share!
If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be somewhere with you
Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on
You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you
I won't sit outside your house
And wait for the lights to go out
Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed
When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you
Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear
I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you
If you see me out on the town
And it looks like I'm burning it down
You won't ask and I won't say
But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you
Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on
You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go
I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Thanks Kenny Chesney <3


Oh I forgot to mention, Lady Gaga was in Salt Lake City tonight and let me tell ya, the real freaks come out when Gaga is in town! So many people were doing their last minute Gaga shopping at F21 today and it was not a pretty sight. I had a woman hold up a pair of underwear and tell me that's what she was wearing to the concert. Congrats on being a freak show, lady. 

Two Posts in One Day?

Well all the talk about the zoo and spring in my last post made me think about all the reasons why I cannot wait for summertime! And they go something like this...

I get to go to Ohio and see all my friends and family!

Pretty flowers! Flowers covering the ground is so much more of a pleasant sight than snow.

More walks to temple square.

Flip flops! I love flip flops almost more than anything. 

OR bare feet. I would go barefoot all the time if I could. 

Warm weather of course. I would take being hot over being cold, ANY day.

No school. No school. No school. I think my brain is ready for a break.

P.S. When I was searching for the bare feet picture, I typed "bear feet" into google and I was so confused as to why so many pictures of bears popped up....Major blonde moment. 

Just a Simple Update

Let me start by sharing with you the WORST song/music video ever. That is all I have to say about this.

It has recently come to my attention that I only start blogs when I ever so nicely let my boyfriend play Halo while I'm at his house. I usually never finish those ones, but I will try and finish this one. I guess the reason I never post blogs anymore is because I simply have nothing that exciting to talk about. A typical day usually goes something like this:

I wake up

I go to class

I hang out with Kyle until he goes to class

Sometimes I go to work

I do my  homework

I hang out with Kyle
And I go to sleep

Most of the time Kyle and I just watch movies and TV because we are both tired from work and school and he doesn't get out of class until late. Sometimes we do exciting things though. Last weekend we went to the zoo! I do love the zoo, but I must say, the one we went to is nowhere near being as awesome as the Columbus Zoo. EXCEPT the giraffe exhibit. It was so cool because the giraffes got so close! And the bad news of the week...Ali's car got broken into! They broke her window and took her work purse. The weird part about the situation is there was nothing in her work purse except her badge that gets her into the airport for work. She had a camera on her seat and cash in the car and they didn't take any of that. Terrorist trying to get through airport security? I think yes. I can't tell if spring is here or not. I'm getting mixed signals from the weather. It's been pretty warm and rainy. I hope spring is here because I've been dying since October to bust my flip flops back out. 

Keep Calm and Carry On

Since my whole blog the first of February was basically all about Bones, I figure the first post of March should have a little somethin' somethin' about Bones in it. Kyle and I finished season five and guess what? Season six isn't on DVD yet...what the heck am I going to do? It could be months before it comes out. And of course they left it on the biggest cliffhanger everrrrr. I'm salty. Sadly, my news about Bones is the most exciting thing that has happened to me lately. School is same old same old. Although, the other day Susan, Ali, and I basically rolled around in money. Ali always saves up her tips from work and the other day she decided to take all of her coins to the bank. The most epic part was when she paid our landlord 350 dollars ALL in one dollar bills. HA! His face was priceless. 

Ali, Haleigh, and I went shopping yesterday. There is a spring formal and a ball on Saturday, both of which Kyle thinks he is too cool to attend. But, Ali found a very pretty coral dress to wear to the spring formal and Haleigh is wearing her gorgeous purple dress she wore to prom. By helping Ali pick out her dress, I felt like I was living vicariously through her. Almost like I was going to the formal myself. :) Not that I'm getting married or anything....but I've spent the past day and a half doing nothing but looking at wedding dresses. I've never been super picky about things like this, it took me about five minutes to pick out my prom dress, but I've looked at about 100 different sites with dresses and I have seen very few that I even KIND OF like. I have a feeling this is whole picking out a wedding dress thing is going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Maybe it will be different when I actually try them on!

New favorite quote:

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." —Audrey Hepburn

 

A Little Bit of Love

I LOVE..

1. Blogging, obviously. I think late night blogging (like right now) is always the way to go.
2. Blog stalking. Of course I read my friend's blogs, but there are a couple blogs that I routinely stalk even though I don't know the people.

3. Laughing. I'm very easily amused and I laugh at almost anything, but this kind of laughter is the best.
4. This kind of late night laughter with my roommates.

5. My church. I love being able to see the Salt Lake Temple everyday!
6. The idea of getting married in this temple (Oquirrh Mountain). I've always wanted to be married in the Salt Lake Temple, but I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it.

7. The Ohio State Buckeyes. I was never really a fan until I came out west and found out what I was missing out on.
8. My family and friends in Ohio, whom I miss dearly.

9. The mountains. Although I love Ohio, the mountains here are much prettier than the boring, flatness of Ohio.
10. Summertime. I cannot wait until summer. I hate everything about winter with my whole heart.

11. Kyle McClellan. He's the most amazing boyfriend I could ask for. He makes me happy everyday, no matter what. I'm so blessed to have him in my life!
