procrastination

lets have a quick thought about finals.

im sitting at a computer on the 4th floor of the library at school with book open in front of me and suddenly had the urge to post a blog after 2 months. =D oooh procrastination

im flying home to AZ next week! i get to see my family and my friends and DIRT! its snowing here. its strange. but its not too horrible. i dont know why anyone would have ever wrote that "im dreaming of a white christmas" song though - yuck. to be fair to the snow; however, im only bitter becuase i dont have snow boots yet and my toes get super cold and every time i get in the car to go somewhere i have to get back out to scrap the ice off my windows...

ill post pictures of all the fun stuff ive been up to but as of today my best activity of the week definitely happened yesterday. we went on this big group date to SLC where 1) we explored the Joseph Smith Memorial Building 2) watched the Joseph Smith movie - i had a few tears. its a beautiful film 3) i met Natalie Cole and had her sign a dollar bill - it was the only piece of paper i had haha 4) i got to spend the night with a wonderful group of people who enjoyed looking at the SLC temple as long as i did. =] we had a fantastic time

actually, i lied becuase my other favorite part of this week --- wow, now that i think about it this entire week has been good! busy but good --- i applied to be a performing missionary in Nauvoo, Illinois and out of 200 applicants they asked me to come in for the call back!! my audition is on Sat Jan 2. very excited

ok now back to reviewing for my sociology final on monday.

loves

laundry anyone??

who really wakes up at 6:00 am to do laundry?

on a saturday??

oh, haha i do.

however, if its up to my very sleepy eyes i will be snoozing very shortly.

i have about 20 mintues before my clothes are done in the washer so in the mean time i decided now would be a good timeto blog about life and paint my nails.

yesterday i realized that at some point during my growing up years (maybe that growing up point happened yesterday and i just didnt notice) that candy corn stopped being as wonderful as i believed it to be. my friends and i had a very dressing discussion about this phenomina and helped to explain how this could happen, sort of, anyway, we talked about how we see it in the store around this time of year and it looks just so darn good because we have all these fond memories from our childhood about eating buckets and buckets of candy corn... sadly, ive grown up so much that now i cant even eat a handful of them with out feeling sick. even more sadly i didnt recognize that sick feeling till after 5 handfuls. barrffffffff. i didnt throw up. felt like it. but didnt.

maybe ill be a candy corn for halloween this year... idk what im going to be!!?!?!?!?!! maybe a clown and ill go out and buy a tu-tu and wig andcrazy tights and really ugly sequined vest... mm, this sounds way cute! ok clown it is. now i just need to scrounge for dinero. or just swing by someones house and borrow a costume. that sounds more efficient.

well, my nails are lookin not their best on account of my polish is old and in that drying/glooping up stage of its life, so ill probably swing by sallys beauty to buy some new opi for $4 (yesssss!!! they sell the old ones from past collections so theyre not as expensive). chelsea and i are going shopping today anyway so it should work out.

what else am i doing today?? oh yeah, going to my friend's MMA fight this afternoon and then were doing this guy/girl building get together a capella chill night thing. im singing ive got the world on a string and it should be wayy fun.

the dorm

physical science is killing me!! its not that its a hard class, its just that it takes time to do the work and all the readings, and im just on the busy side right now!! haha sleep will help though -- im kinda lacking that aspect of my attention span right now!! =] ahhh college. love it.

i miss home! i miss my family but ill see them in a few days. i miss my ctr 5 kids and my team teacher....but i did see sister smith walking around campus today; i almost wrecked but had a friend in the car - obviuosly were still alive ahaha. i miss my friends a lot too. i try to chat with them when they text or whatever but i barely have time to talk to my mom!! ((sorry mom and family)) just know that i love you so so much and cant wait to be home! i cant imagine what itll be like in a few months when it gets cold here...

haha the other day one of my friends said that its soo hot here - it was around 91*! i was thinking how beautiful the whether was! anyway, i kinda chuckled =]

• yay byusa! i LOVE it!
• i got my first english essay back yesterday: 91/100! not bad for a first paper
• i also took my first test in college ever: ill just say that Fantastic was not what i got. =/

no need to worry though!! i know what i need to do to pull it up! im a good student, just have faith haha

lets see, oh, i made my first real dinner last night: lasagna hamburger helper w/ meat, beans and corn --- MMMmmmmm!!!!! it was SO SO good. im glad i pay attention to what my mom cooks as i eat it even thought i never actually did the cooking. i learn through example i suppose =D

ok, now that ive done my best to do a mini update, back to reading my science book!! yay college.

officially a UTAHRD

i just added a bunch of pictures to my 'swimsuits & sprinklers party' so go check those out.

im officially a utahrd. we drove all day yesterday from 8 to 8, 11 hours exactly [[theres an hour time difference -gotcha]] anyway, i drove from vegas up here to nephi. it so beautiful up here despite that its been raining on and off again this weekend.

its not entirely hitting me yet that im growing up. im in college now one week from tomorrow!!!!! ahhhhh. and the song im listening to right now is on my play list, 'My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw, and its just a perfect theme song for me right now. i miss my dad... a lot. hes not up here becuase hes at home with my sister whos going on Treck this week [[LUCKY!! I LLOVEE TRECK]] and he has to work. =/ aw man, im tearing up.

when i was little and i would cry id get all upset and say "Mom!!! theres cry all over my pillow!!!" even though it was ME who was being a silly kid i still love that about myself. anyway, i get cry all over my pillow a lot lately becuase i miss being home.

today was tough, my first sunday away from my ward, my class, my friends, my home... its nice being here but next week ill be in my new student ward!! i hope ill have some cool people in my FHE group. i was lucky enough to hang out with a few of my best friends the day before we drove up, so heres some basic pics, (and yeah, theyre all guys, how typical of me i know.)

**top left is my long time amazing great friend bj.

**top right is my work out buddy lonnie. he thinks he has bigger guns than me. ha.
**bottom left is my homie matt.
**bottom right is my wonderful brother peyton. love him.

me & matty are so goofy

lonnie's "sad face" because im moving, and my "sad face" becuase im moving

(haha i couldnt keep a straight face as well as he could)

4 EYES

how much could there be to say other than what this picture shows??
well the story is that we were goofing around at Costco after our eye

appointments and we [[ok I]] just couldnt resist the photo opt!!
i think we resemble our mother... haha she used to have thsese and its ok becuase i know that everyone used wear them.... ugly things.

hahaha we look ridiculously cute though dont we?? =D

there were just so many funny ones we couldnt stop!!! and once we all get laughing, well theres just no ignoring us. mom was too embarrased by our goofyness to take some pics with us, however, she was about to pee her pants from laughter =D

i really love this one -- were book worms 8]
which is why i had to post it again so you can get the full affect

and well, obviously this one is just of me. in the costco optomotrist mirror. =]
