Decision Made

I will be moving to Portland on August 28 for a couple of Months, should be pretty FUN!

21.5

Today marks my Half Birthday from tomorrow on I will be closer to the age of 22 then 21...weird. I like being 21 you're older but still not expected to have your whole life figured out. This week I've been free to do whatever. Its been nice not to have to even think about school but I really do enjoy working so it will be nice when it starts up again next monday.

I've learned that life becomes easier when you just go with the flow. Its not always easy since I tend to like having everything lined up and go the way I want, I mean who doesn't. But realizing that my life never really seems to do what I would have it do, has been a blessing especially for this past semester. A lot has happened in only a few short months and once again I am at a point were I need to make some decisions, which is probably my least favorite thing to do.

Don't get me wrong I am so grateful that I have the opportunities that I do, I am truly blessed, but sometimes I think life would be easier if my parents just told me what to do.. ha ha how funny, that when you are young all you want to do is make your own decisions and not be told by your parents what to do. Now that I'm legally an adult I would just prefer my parents to tell me what to do... pathetic.

Anyway, this is just kinda a random post, I know, it's just one of those things I have to write about but also be vague because like I said I am trying to make decision. Hence, the decision has not been made but no worries it will be made soon and if your really curious feel free to call I would be more willing to talk to you about it all.

Well, HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY to MEEE!! Hope Your Day is going Great!

For My Nephew Zac

This song is for my Nephew Zac because he LOVES Flags. Literally this kid can find them anywhere! I'm sure his Dad has already heard the song because I'm sure Lee watched the World Cup.

Enjoy!

4 Dollar Weekend Get Away!

My Friend Julia and I went to Logan with our friend Steve this weekend. We were all going crazy in Rexburg and since Steve had to go to Brigham City cause his Dad was receiving his Silver Beaver (Highest award for Scouting I think?) we all decided to go spend some time in Cache Valley! We left Friday went to the Trapper Tails award ceremony (sadly no pictures) and headed to Logan luckily we have some pictures of our time in Logan in backwards order:

(Making Muddy Buddies

Saturday Night)

(After losing to me at Skip-Bo we played Nertz so she could win)

(Me Winning and Julia losing)

(Since we didn't have a car we spent most of Saturday walking around Logan)

(Near the end of our walk we stopped by the Mall and got pretzel bits

and washed our hands at Bath and Body Works)

(Near the beginning of our walk we went to Jamba Juice

(Our first stop was getting Julia a CTR Ring)

All together it was great to get out of Rexburg. Julia and I stayed with my friend from High School (Jessica) and Steve stayed with his Twin. We played lots of games and Saturday night we watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls. It was actually really fun even though we really didn't "do" anything. Plus we drove back Sunday morning in time for church. Steve didn't even let us pay for gas so the only thing I spent money on was the pretzel bites and an onion and tomato for our stir fry!

What I do for Friends

I really should go to bed but I thought I'd do a quick update. First off my callings are FHE Assistant and the other is an Indexer (Family History Stuff). Now on to the real reason I'm writing... I think I need to learn to say no. The only problem with this is that I really do like helping people out but it means I have been staying up till all hours of the night and getting up at the crack of dawn (I'm turning into to Dad). I also believe I rather help other people with their homework because it always sounds better than my own. For example I can now tell you what number can be divided by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and only has a remainder of 1, it's also hard to bet me at making a Power Point Presentation cause I add not only animation but sound too, and finally I am a wiz when it comes to being able to make a flyer only using Word in fact if I was taking Visual Media I would have gotten an A on the assignment I did for fun trying to help my friend come up with ideas, but don't worry I'm pretty sure the one I helped him with today will also get an A cause its pretty awesome.

Anyway, I can't complain I really do like helping my friends out I just need to figure out a way that I make it to bed before 2 cause I start school by 8! I will try to continue updating but as far as school goes I can't complain it's going pretty good.

My Little Brother?

My little brother has never been really little, but I love this picture and thought I would share it.

My Art Work

Many of you know that I am going into Art Education and on top of that many of you know I don't show my art work that often. I've decided to change that and start sharing things that I do when it comes to my art. Please feel free to check out my new blog.

I will continue with this blog as well so you all know what I'm up to with my life even if it's not that exciting.

98 95 85 and Sunny

The beginning of this week looked grim. I had 4 art projects, 3 tests, and rain. I some how was able to finish all my art projects. I managed to pull off a 98 on my math test, a 95 on a nutrition test, and an 85 on my finance test! It was a little disappointing that the test I studied the hardest for was the lowest score but over all I was pretty happy to finish this week and as a celebration the weather decided to be in the 70's and sunny!!

Photo Tag

After classes today I was checking blogs and found I was tagged by my sister Allie. Actually I was checking blogs earlier but the pictures on her blog weren't showing up so I decided to try back later it's a good thing I didn't read the end of her blog tell now. My apt. didn't quit look like this in the morning and before I can do anything I have to make sure the dishes are done or I can't concentrate so you can just imagine a sink full of dishes but everything else is, "as they are"

Here it is at 2:30 in the afternoon.....

Part 2 of my weekend

To start off I'm ready for another weekend to help get caught back up on sleep. After my blog update yesterday I stayed in the Library for about another 5 hours. Got most everything that needed to be done for tomorrow in order for me to teach and I'm feeling pretty good about it (We'll see how it goes tomorrow). I couldn't get anyone to go to Guitars Unplugged with me so I decided to make cookies. I'm proud to say that they were some pretty darn good Chocolate Chip Cookies. I gave them away to lots of people today so I wouldn't eat any. Back to yesterday, once again Traz came over and we played some more games. I think I finally found someone that likes to play games as much as I do.

Today I went to church! I love Sundays I think they are my favorite days of the week, mainly because I have an excuse not to do homework. No, really church is great! My ward is awesome, and all my meetings were great today. After church my Home Teachers came over (two people that got cookies), then I went Visit Teaching (also got cookies), if you couldn't figure it out it was the last day of the month. When I got home my roommates were watching TV and I didn't really want to watch anything they were watching, so I decided to head over to my new friends in apt 9 (Dan, Sam, Chris, Josh, Chad, Logan) I figured they would be watching the hockey game. I was right they were! (they also got cookies) It was going great till Canada Won but we got over the disappointment by playing games till they had to go to their priesthood meeting.

After dinner my ward had a game night at 7:30 which was very fun, the last game we play is always my favorite we just call it the chair game. Afterwards I went over to Apt 6 for my next door neighbor's surprise Birthday Party, after that I came home finished watching Ice Age with my roommates and worked on some sketches that I needed to get done. Now I'm blogging when I should be going to bed. So once again I'm sure you wanted to know what I did this weekend but apparently Lee and Allie do. Good Night.

My Weekend so Far..

Yesterday I decided it was about time I got all caught up in my classes. I wasn't really behind on things that needed to be turned in more so I need to study cause I have two test next week and I teach a group in one of my classes on Monday, so needless to say I had things that needed to get done.

I spent about 5 hours in the Library yesterday and called it good for the day. While walking home I saw my roommates drive away and had mixed feelings one kinda sad they didn't wait for me when they knew I was on my way home and second really happy cause that meant I was home alone!

When I got home I did a little cleaning, made myself a real dinner, and flipped through channels to see if anything was on (It was about 6 and the Olympics don't come back on tell 7). Anywho started watching Throughly Modern Milly when Traz came over to see if I wanted to do anything. So we went around to see if people wanted to play games we got about 8 people and played my new favorite game Catch Phrase. Later that night Dan, Sam, and Josh stopped by and I taught them to street surf, after a while we decided to head over to their place and for the first time every I watched Rocky.

It turned out to be a pretty good Friday and already this morning I've played Dodge Ball, Jump roped, and now I taking a break from more homework that needs to get done so that I can go to Guitars Unplugged tonight!

I'm sure you all wanted to know what I did this weekend but I couldn't think of anything else to write about.

My Room

Finally I put up pictures in my room. And since people have been wanting to know what my room looks like I borrowed my roommates' camera.

(My bed is on the right if you couldn't tell from the orange pillows)

.

(The shelf above our beds. We think it's pretty funny that we both have pigs and

that our bedspreads are brown.)

.

(My bed, and the pictures I finally put up. Plus my

Backpack that I didn't realize before but it matches my

bed spread I must really like these colors.)

.

(Here's a close up of the wall it has pictures of family, friends, and the kids I take care of.)

Sleep

Went to bed by 9 slept till 10. I think I was tired I feel great now!

So Long Farewell...

Today the Green Geo Prism was given to the Kidney Foundation. It did well since it was only suppose to last 6 months, 2 years ago. Thanks to Shawn. Dad thought it probably wasn't so safe for me to drive since lets see number 1. The heater didn't work, number 2. the seat belt had to have a knot in it to keep it in the right spot, number 3. the drivers side door had to be opened from the inside making it hard to get into, number 4. and I guess the most important reason why it had to go was the clutch was going out. I might be one of the most skilled clutch drivers out there (It keeps things interesting when It decides to go out when entering the freeway). It was a nice run and I'm sure going to miss it. It's a good thing I was never planning to take it to Rexburg with me.

To early

It's to early for Snow! It's like a blizzard out side right now and I'm not very happy cause of it. Manly cause of my car lets just say right now snow is not the best thing for it. Oh well not much I can do about it.

Wisdom Teeth

It's true you can never top a four wisdom teeth story with a two, but I'm okay with that. Yesterday I got my two wisdom teeth taken out the top left and the bottom right. So Far so good not really any pain or swelling we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Go Kris!!!!!

Kris Allen won American Idol!!! Although Adam can sing anything and has a good voice I really like Kris!

Laptop

I have been doing research on laptops and found that I like expensive. I want to purchase a laptop thats not to pricey and didn't know if anyone has suggestions? This is a picture of the old mac pro that I would have loved for the keyboard (I'm picky about the way the key board feels). So I just thought I would let you know I'm looking for any laptop, and would love some help. Thanks.

Oatmeal

For those that know me, know that I DO NOT like oatmeal! In the past I have tried to like it but I couldn't get past the first two bits before I no longer could have anymore. But I am happy to say I've broken the curse I have had a bowl of oatmeal everyday for a week. I don't love it but I can now eat an entire bowl without my throat wanting to gage. I can now say oatmeal is ok.
