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!

I know, I know....

OK so I've been MIA for the past couple months, but seriously, I HAVE NOT HAD TIME.  I like sleep too much to get on and write a legit blog post that is actually worth reading.  My deepest apologies to those of you who actually read this, you know who you are....

Anyways

What have I been doing you may ask?

Tons.

Mostly work,

but thats boring so I wont bore you with those details because most of you know how that goes....

Besides working, there are few things that I have done that may peak your interest so here goes.

Watched many movies lately? You know it.

Several actually.

Forgive me for not posting about them, I know you were dying a little inside.

OK fine, Ill tell you.

Of course you all know I saw....Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2!

Thats totally a given right?

Well, it was epic.

I painted my nails and everything.

Unfortunately I didn't dress up because I had just gotten off work and didn't have time because I needed to get in line for the midnight premiere and I was 10th in line! Sa-weet!!!!

I saw it with my mom, niece Kailey, and co-worker Tamara.  And.....I don't have pics, I apologize.

Needless to say, it was an epic movie and I could watch it over, and over, and over again. Seriously. No joke.

What else?

Tyler Perry's "Madea's Big Happy Family"

HA!

Had the floor not have been filthy with popcorn and probably Hepatitis, I would have been rolling in it.

I laughed so hard, I was CRYING. I mean the whole theater was dying laughing. 

Oh.My.GOSH.

So freakin hilarious.

Y'all have to see it.

Another one I saw was "The Adjustment Bureau."

Hated it.

Thats all Im gonna say about that.

I also saw"THOR."

Fantastic.

I was amazed, and Natalie Portman was stunning.

And too bad Thor didn't have his shirt off the whole time....I mean come on.  He didn't even look real...I mean I guess he is sort of mythical, but those ABS were REAL.

The story was great too by the way....seriously

I think there might be a couple more that I have seen, but I cant remember them at the moment.  Anyways, movies are great. Obviously.

Next topic.

Congratulations to all of my friends who graduated in the past month! How cool are you?

You're all grown up...lucky....Im so ready for school to be over. Just done.

I start back in about a month. Im looking forward to my friends and the social part of it all, just not the school and studying and stressing part of it all. So.Not.Ready.

Random sidebar.

I need a new phone. STAT.

My phone is jacking up big time.

Many of the letters on the keyboard dont work so I have to improvise or just send a message the way it is. So if any of y'all get a text from me with some crazy message, I apologize. I am trying here. Just figure it out.

I dont mean to whine and complain, thats just how I have been feeling lately.

This post is getting too long.

I have more to say but its gonna have to go to another post.

I WILL DO IT.

I PROMISE.

Miss you guys!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...

I'm loving several things on this fine Wednesday...

I'm loving this new perfume I bought a couple of weeks ago, on sale for $15 dollars at ULTA! Its called Pink Sugar and it smells divine!

I'm loving that I just found out that I can watch 4 seasons of "Hey Arnold" on Netflix Instant Play...this makes me, oh so excited!

I'm loving that I get to start my second job next week!

I'm loving these movies I just saw...

I'm loving that Pay Day is in two days!

I'm loving that this movie comes out in exactly 50 days!!!!!!!

And finally, I'm loving that my bff Beth is home after a year a half....its about time.

And yes, I do realize that most of those things had to do with watching movies or TV, but whatever. Once I start my second job, I wont have time for all of that so Im going to enjoy it while I can.

I hope y'all have something to love on this Wednesday!

Also you can link up here to join in on the fun!

See ya!

What I've been watching...

I gotta make this quick because I gotta go to work in like twenty minutes.

So glee last night was oh so sad, I actually felt bad for Sue, and that never happens. And the New Directions version of "pure imagination" was brilliant. Loved it.

Also, on Monday, I went and saw the movie, "Battle: LA" Its kind of a mix between Independence Day and Transformers, if thats possible.  Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  There was no down time though, I couldn't breathe the whole time because there was so much going on! I would suggest it, definitely.

One more thing, have yall seen the preview for Mandy Moore's new movie, called "Love, Wedding, Marriage"? I had no idea she had one coming out! It comes out on June 3rd!

Mandy Moore, Kellan Lutz, and Jane Seymour are in it...interesting right? 

Here's the preview.

See ya soon!

Questions, Questions, Questions

So, this is me putting off my homework/studying for finals.  I just don't want to do anything today ok?  I mean I will...eventually, but for now, Im not. Don't judge me.

So a friend of mine sent me this questionnaire/survey thing in an email and I was like, oh, I should put this on my blog.  However, that thing was 60 questions long...um no, I'm not filling out that whole thing unless I'm getting a grade for it.  So I cut out the ones I didn't like/were stupid and I just filled out the ones I wanted to, so here you go.  Some information about myself. You should be excited.  Sorry for the lack of order in the questions though.

1. What time is it? 

It’s 5:15 P.M. I just got up from a nap about an hour ago and I want to go back to sleep.  My body is not functioning today. I did go to class today though.

This is how I feel.

3. What type was your first car? 

Well, the first car I used was my parents red Honda CR-V, that car was sa-weet!

5. If you could have any job, what would it be? 

Well…my dream has always been to be a famous singer…but since the likelihood of that is very slim, I’m going to go with music teacher. Music is the best thing in the world and I would get to teach it to kids and instill in them a love of music too…how awesome is that?

6. What are you most afraid of?

SHARKS…oh.my.gosh.  I hate them so much.  They give me the chills just thinking about them.  However, I have seen almost every shark movie out there because even though I hate them, I am fascinated by them and I think I just love to be scared by them.  My dad always says, I’ll give you $1000 bucks if you go down in a shark cage.  And every time I say, Dad, haven’t you seen that one JAWS where the shark cage breaks off and the dude has to swim out to get back to the boat? Seriously? No. Not happening. EVER.

Apparently this really happened.
And, a few days ago, it happened in Florida.
Um, I would be peeing my pants

8. What are four movies you would watch over and over?

11.   10 Things I Hate About You- You cant go wrong with Heath Ledger…may he rest in peace…plus this movie is hilarious

Gorgeous.

2.   She’s the Man- um, Amanda Bynes is brilliant…can anyone else play a guy the way she does? No.  That is one of THE most, if not THE most quotable/quoted movies ever.  My friends and I and random people quote that movie all the time.

3.   The Patriot/The Green Mile- I threw in the Patriot because it is awesome, but I didn’t want to name another Heath Ledger movie, but I love all of his movies but seeing as I cant put all of them…I put The Green Mile, if you haven’t seen this movie.  Go see it…like…now.  Classic.  Tom Hanks and that big black guy.  I sobbed, but it is Epic.

4.   Forrest Gump- I promise you, this movie will never get old.  I could watch this over and over again in one sitting and it wouldn’t old.  My family owns this movie, but we still watch it every time its on TV. That’s how great it is.

10. What are four places you have lived?

1.   Birmingham, Alabama…I just said that.

2.   Rexburg, Idaho- aka, the coldest place on earth.  Where I chose to come to school. Don’t ask.

3.   Provo, Utah- Another place I went to school

4.   Quito, Ecuador- best place on earth, next to my home.  And because all of my little babies are there, just waiting for my return.

12. What are four places you would rather be right now?

1.   At the beach…It snowed in Rexburg yesterday, it is still that cold

2.   Home. Period.

3.   Ecuador.  My second home. With my babies.

4.   Hmmm…maybe like on a cruise to the Bahamas or something.  Everyone just got back from Spring Break and we, up here in Idaho, don’t get a Spring Break…only because we get out of school extremely early…that’s right…eight more days baby! Woohoo!  I just have to make it through finals week first.

15. What are four of your favorite foods?

1.   Beef Tips and Rice

2.   Chocolate Chip Cookies

3.   Baked Potatoes

4.   Ice Cream

Jason's Deli baked potato, the biggest and best.

17. Which do you prefer, ketchup or mustard? 

Ketchup.  Mustard is nasty.

19. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?

Broccoli? Sick.  My least favorite food in the world would have to be broccoli.  EEEEEWWWWWWWWW.

20. Favorite Drink? 

Coca Cola. Nuff said.

21. Favorite ice cream?

Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy, but when I can’t have that, Rocky Road…or just plain Chocolate.

22. What's your natural hair color?

Blonde.

26. Favorite day of the week?

Friday or Saturday…I mean I usually don’t have much to do on those days so they are the least stressful days…aka awesome!

27. Favorite Restaurant?

The Cheesecake Factory or Firebirds.  Both of which are delectable.

29. Favorite sport to watch?

Football. Roll Tide!

30. Disney or Warner Brothers? 

Disney…however…Warner Brothers did do the Harry Potter series which is just complete and utter brilliance, so WB when talking about HP, but Disney for everything else.

31. Favorite fast food restaurant? 

Chick-fil-A. Always and forever.

34. What do you do most often when you are bored?

Get on Facebook…or read.

35. Bedtime?

Usually not before 12 AM…I got homework to do…and maybe some other things that are a complete waste of time but we wont mention those.

40. Favorite TV show of all time?

Boy Meets World.  Always will be the best. 

Currently though, GLEE!

47. What is your favorite board game?

Probably Scrabble, that game is awesome! And who doesn’t like to spell?

48. Favorite smell?

Either Acqua di gio cologne or the smell of freshly baked Chocolate Chip Cookies.

50. Favorite colors?

Cerulean. It’s a blue.

51. Least favorite color?

Probably brown. I don’t think I even own any brown clothes or shoes.

52. Future (or first) child's name?

Um, I like Tristan, and Scarlett…I guess it just depends though.

54. Do you like to drive fast?

Yes I do.

57. If you could meet one person dead or alive who would it be?

Patsy Cline.  That woman is a legend.  Her voice is stunning.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Patsy Cline!

59. Storms: cool or scary? 

They are sa-weet! My dad and I used to sit out on the porch when a thunderstorm would come rolling through in the summer with a blanket and just watch the storm and remark on how cool the lightning was, or how loud the thunder was. Good times.

Well, thats all I got, hopefully, I'll write again soon...!

Have a wonderful week!
