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. :)
