Our Bonding Trip

2008-11-19T09:41:00.001-08:00

A couple of Saturdays ago my roommates and I decided to go to Jackson Hole wyoming. We got up super early on a saturday (well at least early for me) and got ready to go. Rose drove while Stacey rode shot gun and I got the back all to myself. Very soon into our Journey I was asleep. I wake up about an hour and a half later to Rose and Stacey talking about how we are lost. We wander around in the middle of nowhere for a long while and then see a patrol place and we drive up to ask where the heck we are. The man laughs at us as we are driving up. I role down my window so I can hear him as well. We are nowhere near where we wanted to be. We start driving trying to decide what to do. Thats when Rose and Stacey start yelling at me because I rolled down the broken window. Now the window won't role back up so we are stuck with the cold air coming into the car. While they decide where to go I am trying to push the window back up. Eventually I got it up and we decided to go to Idaho Falls. While in Idaho Falls we walked around this pretty park thing and tried to use the bathroom because we all had to go. The bathrooms were locked for winter. Go figure. We ended up at the Visitors center of the Idaho Falls Temple. We used the bathroom and then watched the Joseph Smith movie. We also watched another short video. After that we got lunch, and went back home.

So it we ended up at the temple though that was not our plans. Not a bad palce to end up however. The down side is that instead of taking about 30 minutes to get to Idaho falls. We took two hours.

Over all, we had a very enjoyable time.

We had to pee!!

Pulled over

The three of us :-)

Halloween away from home.

2008-11-04T17:42:00.000-08:00

For all of those who have not seen Dirty Dancing (With Patrick Swayze) then you wont understand my costume. For Halloween Stacey and I decided to dress up as Johnny(Me) and Baby(Stacey). So we wore the really high waisted tight jeans. Mine were black with a black button shirt. Stacey has a white shirt she tied and she made her hair super curly. Katie from next door put my hair into a guyish style and used soooo much hairspray. So our outfits were complete.

We decided to go to out roommate Rose's cousin's party. They had really good food and we ate a lot of it. There were two guys there. Both so nerdy and rockin out to the music. Stacey and I tried not to laugh. One of the boys was staring at me the entire time. We decided he was either checking out the competition, or thought I was attractive. Either one is weird but so very funny. After we stole as much candy and we could (I had it in my sleeves of my sweatshirt) we came back home.

I took my bobbybins out and my hair was stuck how it was from all the hairspray! So I showered and got that taken care of. Stacey and I then watched a movie and just hung out.

It seems like it would have been boring, but it really wasn't. Stacey and I always have fun together.

Oh yeah and right now as I'm writing this, I can look out the window and see that it is kinda sorta snowing.

Tomorrow sure will be fun.....

So much hairspray!

My, I'm going to eat you, face

Rose, Me, and Stacey

My very odd Saturday.

2008-10-26T20:04:00.000-07:00

So yesterday our friend from next door named Katie came over. She asked if any of us would go with her to get pictures taken with her. We asked her why, where, and with whom? She said because there's an Asian guy who doesn't have a lot of friends and he wants to take pictures of me but I told him I wouldn't go alone. He just wanted to take these pictures for fun. So Stacey agreed to go (still not sure why) and I wasn't going to let them go alone, so I agreed to go as long as I took mace. So later that day this guy came and picked us up and took us to some park outside of town. He was a bad driver and I was sure we were going to die. But we didn't. So when we got there we spent two hours taking pictures. He posed us and had us do different things. Weirdest day of my life. It was very comical. After that he took us to some farm and took pictures there. And then to the railroad tracks. We left at about 3:00 and didn't get home until 6:00.

It was very awkward. Katie said she's going to count it as community service.

He took over 300. Take a look on my page. I put some of the pictures up.

My Weekend with Lawren-Dee

2008-10-21T18:36:00.000-07:00

Lawren Whipple came up for the weekend and slept on our couches. We started off on friday by going out to eat (haven't done that in such a long time!) and then that night Stacey, Lawren, and I decided to go walk around and take pictures. We took some in the gardens, some at the park. Then we went to Hoggie Yogie and Lawren found plastic in her milkshake. Gross. Then we came home and watched The Best Two Years. Well I watched it, they slept.

Saturday morning Lawren and I got in the car and drove around until we found this farm/field that was giving away free potatoes, but we had to go pick them up in the field. We got super dirty and had to run away from big trucks but we got 6 bags of potatoes! Later we all went shopping(I can eat now!) and then Lawren's parents paid for us to go to dinner. It was Me, Lawren, Stacey, and Caitlin. It was so nice of them and the food was amazing! That night We went to guitars unplugged which I loved! It was super awesome!

That night we did crazy random things. Stacey, Lawren and I all slept on the couches that we put together to make a little crib/playpin. Sunday we went to sacramentmeeting but then Lawren had to go.

This was probably the best weekend yet! I can't wait until thanksgiving to see her again :-)

I got my english essay back and got a 92. Made me happy!

Sunday Dinner

2008-10-15T00:02:00.000-07:00

This past sunday our apartment decided to team up with the girls next door and have dinner. They had the main dish and we had to come up with a side dish.

So our little Caitlin, being so creative, made potatoes. Every potluck we've had, we always bring mashed potatoes. The positive side to this is that Caitlin makes bomb mashed potatoes. So we get home after church and Caitlin starts whipping those together. Stacey then makes some corn(we love us some corn). I, however, cannot for the life of me remember what I was doing during this time. I know I peeled some potatoes. After that I am at a lost. I'm thinking I fell asleep, but I'm not so sure I did. Anyway we drag our table and chairs next door and set up. With a nice/Odd candle with Christ on it burning on the middle of our table, we had meatloaf sandwiches (amazing), Veggies+ our corn, Mashed Potatoes, some weird salad thingy and for dessert we had frosted crackers.

All in all it was a very nice night and I loved eating somewhat of real food. Of course when we got home I did all the dishes (what else is new?).

Also Linda Wagnon stopped by late that night. I was wonderful seeing her and she brought really good cookies!

Pictures from our dinner are posted around. Enjoy!

Song of the Day
Black or White by Michael Jackson.

Conference Weekend

2008-10-06T22:30:00.000-07:00

This weekend Stacey and I went down to Utah for Conference. We went down with a man named Adam. Adam told us we were going to Ogden. He took us to Layton. So after asking a worker at Denny's we finally realized we weren't in Ogden. Jackson and Julia came to pick us up eventually. Friday night we stayed the night at my grandparents house. Saturday morning Stacey and I took Tracks down to Salt lake and went to the saturday morning session of conference at the conference center. It was amazing and wet. Well not in the building but outside. After conference we walked around temple square and took pictures. We had so much fun. After the second session we went down to Provo and went shopping. Being from California(Me) and Arizona(Stacey) we didn't have too many snow clothes. After, we spend the night at Lawren Whipple's house and had a good time with her family. Sunday morning Jesse came over and we all watched conference together. We watched the second session at my grandparents house and then it was time to leave.

I was happy to finally get home to see my Caitlin because I missed her. But now that I'm here I'm going crazy again to get out. Being stuck in my dorm doing homework all the time stinks. But thats life.

Song of the day, Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

Plus it's supposed to snow this weekend. Yuck.

I love to run

2008-09-29T21:08:00.001-07:00

After FHE tonight Stacey and I went running for a while at the park. It felt amazing but it makes me sad because soon it will be too cold for that. Dang you Cold! Okay maybe not.

I also wish math came easier for me.

My new favorite song is Everything by Michael Buble.
You should listen to it.

Kitchen Sink/Spiders

2008-09-27T14:27:00.001-07:00

As my roommate Stacey and I were trying to get out the door, we realized our sink was filling up with water and not draining. We tried the disposal(bad idea) it shot up the other side along with some green junk. So now both sides of the sink were full of water and so we did the only thing we could think of, we got the plunger and tried to plunge it. Finally fed up with it we left to play kickball. When we got back Rose said she put in a Maintenance request but the water finally drained out though we still couldn't use it. The last time we put in a request to fix our kitchen light it took two weeks. Our kitchen is now overflowing with dirty dishes because we can't use the sink or dishwasher. We have no more cleans spoons. I want to take them into the bath tub and clean them but my roommates said if I did that I have to take the first shower after.

Another great thing that seems to happen in this dorm is that we attract bugs. After walking down to the temple I was in my room about to take off my sweatshirt when my roommate starts yelling and pointing above my head. I looked up and found that there was a spider dangling right above my head. Soon we we're all screaming and no one wanted to kill it. Finally I killed it and cleaned it up. The next one was when Stacey and I were sitting in our room doing homework and suddenly coming right towards my feet was a jumping spider! I freaked out and ran out of the room with Stacey right behind me. I think Rose killed that one. And the best one yet happened in the kitchen. I was doing the dishes(what else is new?) and there was a spider at my feet. I ran over to the Comfy(okay so not that comfy) chair and stood on it screaming; Caitlin was on the table whinning throwing her shoes at it; Stacey was on the couch next to me sitting on her feet. Rose comes running out and by the looks of us thinks there is a mouse. When she finds out it's a spider she laughs at us, takes Caitlin's shoe, and kills it.
We really hate bugs.

I also realize that all the Spiders seemed to be coming for me. I truly believe all Spiders are out to get me for some reason.

Roommates

2008-09-16T20:37:00.000-07:00

So every week my roommate Caitlin has to tell us for 20 minutes about what she learned in her Book of Mormon class. Tonight we talked about how we should pray for strength rather than pray for something to become easier. We also talked about places that make us feel most at peace. I love those 20 minute talks we get to have as an apartment.

My roommates all have something to give to this apartment. Caitlin is the energy. She is the one that makes me and Stacey get out of the house every once in a while. Rose is the older one. The one who has the experience here. Stacey is the nice one, she is also the one who loves to bring the spirit into our home. I am so blessed to have them as roommates. Caitlin did my laundry and she feeds me M&M's when I'm good. Stacey makes me breakfast and does everything with me. I couldn't have better friends than I have now.

Being able to talk about the meaning of life and our beliefs with someone pretty much 24/7 is so new and so cool.

On our way back from some BBQ these two guys broke Rose's car window. We spent about 3o minutes trying to fix it. It really brought us all together haha.
Math has taken a turn for the worse today for me. I'm not too happy about that.

My song for the day is Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits
I really need to find healthy food to snack on here.

First Blog

2008-09-15T22:01:00.000-07:00

So this is a very new concept to me. This whole blogging thing. I was reading someone's blog and decided I'm always on the computer doing homework I might as well do something fun to break up my homework time.

The first week of college was a very new and exciting experience for me. My classes are amazing and my teachers have so much to offer. We begin each class with a prayer which is very inspiring. I feel like I finally belong somewhere. People here understand the way I think and what I believe. It's a very comforting feeling.

Last friday night my roommate Stacey and I went walking around campus trying to decide what to do. We headed for to Latin dance night however when we arrived we were very late and didn't have guys to dance with. We decided to meet up with our other roommate and her big group date in the gardens to play a game. When we got to the garden, our roommate wasn't there but a group of students we're playing capture the flag and invited us to play. After we played a couple games two huge groups joined as well. Pretty soon we had a huge game of capture the flag going with no one I knew. I met so many people and had a great time.

I got asked on a date last week after my dance class but couldn't go because I had a test. We decided to go tomorrow. However I have a ward social I have to go to so once again I have to cancel and the worst part about it all is I don't even remember his name....

I am currently listening to Weezer thinking about Jesse. I'm also wondering why my brother hasn't called me back.
