Oh yeah, I have a Blog...

Sooooo…..there was this one time when I had a blog that I would occasionally write on but then one day I decided to take a 4 MONTH break….my bad.  I have now been told by a few people that I need to write again. So here I am, writing again.  I don’t know that I will be able to tell you all that has happened in these 4 magical months but I can tell you that they have been unforgettable and I thoroughly regret not writing about them. 

  Let’s see…where to start? Well I know you’re dying to know if Stephen and I are still together…and well….you better believe we are! (That’s the main reason that these last few months have been so magical).

Some of the adventures we have been on….Hmmm…we’ve gone to Utah a few times to visit the Slade’s.  We went down for conference at the end of April, and then a couple other times after that.

Beth and I completed our SWEET FAST on Easter and here are some of the pictures that ensued... It was a wonderful day, and not JUST because of the sweets…

The gang...Spartacus included :)

Remember that time that we lost Catch Phrase to the boys…? I am sad to inform you that their winning streak has yet to end…

 Stephen turned 23 on June 29^th and that was an awesome day!  We went to Chick Fil A at 6:30 in the morning for FREE Chicken Biscuits and later that night we all went to Pizza Pie Café (Stephen LOVES pizza…probably even more than he loves me…) and after that we had cake…but not just any kind of cake, this was an AVENGERS ICE CREAM CAKE! It was DELICIOUS!

What? You didn't know I was dating Iron Man? 

 We had Virg’s Bridal shower as well…lots of delicious food and skanky gifts some awesome presents!  It was way fun!  (Megan and Kakamoe were able to come up to Idaho and be with us for the weekend and we had a blast!) However, due to the nature of some the gifts she received, I will refrain from putting pictures of those up…however you can just go to this site and look around, I’m sure you’ll see some of the things she got (Ben, you’re not allowed to be looking…)

Aren't they precious?

  Independence Day was EXTREMELY fun.  We went to Egin Lakes and got burned to a crisp BUT later that night, we went to Café Rio and we went and saw the fireworks in Idaho Falls.  The fireworks were absolutely stunning. (Aloe Vera was our best friend for the next WEEK)

 School has been stressful this whole semester, but luckily I have three, yes three, days to go and I will be finished with my 9^th semester of college! I only have 2 to go!!! (If all goes well…) If you were wondering, the classes I took this semester were, Statistics (DISCLAIMER: I HAVE to take this class for my major (Sociology), this is NOT a class I would have voluntarily taken…I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE at any sort of math so it has been…um…interesting…we’ll see how I do after this final exam, eek!), Sociological Theory (this is the class that I have with Stephen, however, we don’t sit next to each other because we both know that we would not pay attention at all…everyone in the class thinks it’s weird, our teacher included, BUT it works for us…I still stare at him  from across the room I can still see him though, so that’s all that matters), Sociology of Religion, and Law & Society (Both of these were EXTREMELY interesting and I am so glad I decided to take.

 What else?  Stephen and I are frequent bowlers, we’re not that great at it, but it’s the appeal of beating each other that keeps us going. HA. We also like to go see movies…some of the movies we’ve seen recently are…The Avengers (this movie is seriously EPIC. If you haven’t seen it, I STRONGLY suggest going to see it, you will NOT be disappointed!), The Lockout (unrealistic, not worth seeing again), The Amazing Spider Man (Another one that I STRONGLY suggest seeing!), Battleship (meh, it was OK), Snow White and the Huntsman (I enjoyed this one A LOT more than Stephen did), and a few others, so yeah, we like our movies.  Oh and don’t worry, we have tickets to see The Dark Knight Rises this Friday, so I should be reporting about that, hopefully.

 There is not much else to say, I'm sure I will think of things later that I could have told you about, but alas, I cannot think of anything else at the moment.  OH! One last thing…Stephen went home to Chicago for his sister, Rachel’s, graduation the first weekend in June.  Yes, I was pathetic that weekend without him.  But, you wanna know how awesome he is????  He was going to be gone on our three month anniversary which I was so terribly sad about, BUT he made me a dozen Duct Tape flowers and gave them to Beth before he left to leave at my doorstep that morning.  How lucky am I? It was precious.  He MADE THEM! Seriously?

  I know, I know, you ladies are all wishing he was your boyfriend, BUT,  I'm sorry, he is definitely taken. It’s OK to cry.  He’s amazing and I am so blessed and so amazed that someone like him would fall in love with me.  I thank my lucky stars for him every single day.

 Well, that’s all.  I know this post was EXTREMELY long so I completely understand if you stopped reading after the first paragraph of rambling…I tend to go on, and on, and on, and on…Anyway, it has been a GREAT semester and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Also, if you get the chance, you should check out my roommate, Beth's, blog! She just started it and it's awesome!

See ya soon!

February...

I’m back! I’m trying to catch up on my posting, so I’m letting you know what has been going on in this crazy life of mine.  To continue talking about February…my friend Cailey had her birthday on February 23, and then…. her baby came the next day!  His name is Spencer (they didn't name him Spartacus like I hoped they would) and he weighed 9.1 lbs. He is precious!  Unfortunately, he is still in the NICU just because he can’t quite eat on his own yet, so they gotta keep him there until he can!  Hopefully he is coming home soon! But, I am starting to feel so old because some of my best friends just had a baby.  WOW.  I am so excited for them though, they became instant parents and it seriously just warms your heart to see that happen.

Isn't he precious?!

Valentines Day came and went and none of us had any dates, although I got flowers from two wonderful people and so that made my day :) however we made lots of cookies and sweets and we proceeded to eat our feelings, well as much of them as we could. Overall it was a decent day.

The next week we had Mardi Gras and made King Cake! We even had a baby to put on the inside, thanks to our friend Jordan.  Beth was the lucky one who got the piece with the baby inside! That night we had some other sweets and stuff too because Beth and I gave up sweets and candy for Lent, and I can gladly say that we are sticking to it.  We have not failed.  No one thinks we can do it, so we are determined.

            That Saturday, Beth, Jordan, and I went to Utah for a couple of days.  Saturday was a concert and that is the main reason we went down. We really just wanted to get out of Rexburg because we were going insane.  The concert was We Are the In Crowd and Every Avenue.  It was a pretty good concert, the crowd that was there was a little bit different, I mean there were like parents there…what? Yeah, weird.  We got to hang out with our friend Mike too, who we hadn’t seen in a while. Anyway, we had a great time, just chilling in Salt Lake City, and we got to visit the Slades for a little bit.

This is the lead singer of Every Avenue.

The next eventful thing that happened was the next week and it was Leap Day.  Leap Day is already an eventful day in and of itself, BUT one of my BEST friends got engaged!  VIRG GOT ENGAGED! 

Presh :)

Later that night we celebrated with cookies, (Beth and I did not partake of said cookies) Martinelli’s, and games.  It was way fun.  Were so excited for her wedding which is gonna be sometime this summer in Virginia!  WOOHOO!

 Me, Virg, and Beth

Ben and Virg...and our cookies! 

So cute.

                          So that was February and it was a great month.  March is probably going to be pretty stressful just because it’s the last month of the semester and finals are coming up…eek! I promise I’m gonna take more pictures too and put them on here!

These are my confessions...

 Sorry I havent posted in FOR-EV-ER.  Its just, finals are coming up, and I didn't feel that great last week, I sprained my ankle this weekend while walking, and we went to Utah and came back to Utah in one day.  Its just been hectic.  But here are some thoughts I would like to post about...Confessions and Awkwardness, or maybe just AWKWARD CONFESSIONS. Either way, pretty entertaining.

I read all of the spoilers to GLEE, I just can’t help myself OK?

(Like did you know that Kurt and Blaine are supposed to be going to prom together pretty soon? Oh and I read that the season is going to continue like the first or second week of April.  Im crossing my fingers!)

This isn't a real video, don't try to click on it,
otherwise, you might feel stupid.

I recently used a paper I wrote in high school for a paper in college…I mean I did tweak it, and it is my paper, so what’s the harm in that? Right?

I may or may not have SIX glasses of water in my room right now…none of which are empty

I refuse to eat desserts from a box…unless its gluten free, and I only eat that disgusting crap deliciousness, when I am with my friends, Cailey or Olivia, and that is only sometimes…

I watched the first four seasons of psych in the space of one month…it is that good.

(Its basically my new favorite show, next to GLEE)

Um, can someone please buy
these for me? Thanks.

When watching movies, I cry at the smallest things. It’s pathetic.

Some people like to hug their friends every time they see them and tell them they love them, I’m not one of those people, that’s awkward man.  And if you try to make me hug you and say I love you, I will make it as awkward as possible.

Im basically a man when it comes to
hugs.

I sometimes miss the drama of high school, it was so stupid, but so much fun, haha.

Every morning when I walk outside my door, I smell the freshly baked doughnuts wafting through the air and I think about doughnuts all the way to class…is that bad? I only think about them, and only sometimes do I actually act on those thoughts.

I particularly enjoy sprinkled doughnuts...

I am one of those people that likes to know what’s going on with the stars, I just like to read about their personal lives and sometimes wish I had it that easy…although some of their lives are totally jacked up. Its just curiosity, I swear.

I may or may not have tripped off a curb and sprained my ankle this weekend. And yes, all the ice has melted.  I just suck at walking. And now I get to wear something that looks like this...

Awkward Occurrences

When the girl next to you in class says that when she went to bed last night she was dressed in one thing and when she woke up she was dressed in something else.  Me: "Um, do you sleep walk?"

Girl: "I don’t think so, I think my roommate changed my clothes."

Me (in my head): Either way, you are a freak.  Don’t tell people stuff like that, it creeps them out.

 Sidenote: Why do we think that people put their hands in front of them when they sleepwalk? Where did that even come from?  Just because you're sleepwalking doesn't mean you're a freaking ZOMBIE.

Seeing someone with toilet paper hanging out of their pants, and trying to tell them without laughing in their face.

When someone actually BREAKS their face…yes that is possible.  Ok, that’s not awkward, that’s just ha-larious…bahaha

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

Oh, just a clip from "Just Friends"  I think you might enjoy.

Skip to 1:55.

Well, thats all I have to say.  Have a wonderful week!
