Holy Tornado!

So, if y'all didn't know, there were like twenty tornados in Alabama today. That was some scary stuff dude. Seriously.  There are over fifty people dead so far. At one point, one of the tornados that was on the ground was a MILE WIDE. What?!? 

Dude, thats like straight out of the movies scary. That crap does not happen here in Sweet Home Alabama. I mean we always get our fair share of thunderstorms and tornados very spring, but these were F5 tornados. Thats like the worst kind. 

One of the hardest hit places was Tuscaloosa, AL and a lot of that town was demolished. The school is said to be ok, but the mall got wiped out it looks like.

My cousins that live in Morris, AL found some medicine prescriptions from a pharmacy in Tuscaloosa in their yard...how far away is Tuscaloosa from Morris you may ask?

Approximately 70 miles.

Yeah, you read right. 70 freakin miles.  

That is ridiculous.

At one point, there was so much debris that it was 8,000 feet in the air! CRAZY!

So yeah, we need to pray for all those people whose homes were destroyed and for all of those people who lost loved ones.

This was one of the worst weather days Alabama has ever seen.

For those of you wondering, the tornado just barely missed Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Another street in Tuscaloosa was completely demolished though. The tornado in Tuscaloosa was the worst but there were several more tornados through out the day.  

One of my Dads' co-workers that lives in Pleasant Grove said that there were bodies everywhere there, but were not sure if that is true just yet.  

Tomorrow we should know more results of the damage.

My part of town was just missed tonight.  This morning was terrible though.  At like 5:30, it came through here and seriously, it was so bad.  Our house was seriously like screaming, yeah that doesn't make sense, but you weren't here. It was screaming.  The top of our chimney blew into our front yard.  The winds did lots of damage.

Well, thats all I got. 

President Obama declared us in a state of emergency.

Pray for Alabama.

See ya soon!

So....

I am definitely in a blog funk. I am so very sorry... I have been home for like... 10 days now...(I definitely just had to count on my fingers, lame)

Anyways, I just have not felt like writing on this wonderful blog thing that I have going, but then my wonderful friend Cailey scolded me for not writing, ok actually she didn't scold me, she just made me aware that I haven't written on here in forever.  So here I am, writing on my blog.

What have I been doing you may ask?

Well I started working again, so that is taking up some time, and when I am not working I am doing nothing but sleeping.  

But guess what? I haven't slept in three nights, I just lie awake a night....but thats because I have been put on this new medicine that keeps me awake.  

Anyways, enough of all that boring stuff....

GLEE anyone?

Did yall watch?  Because I did, and it was wonderful to have GLEE back on, why does it keep going on a hiatus...seriously, that needs to stop, like stat.  OK and what was up with that Sunshine chick coming back on the show? Also, is it bad that I am kind of happy that Will and Holly broke up and Emma and John Stamos broke up? I mean really, we all want Will and Emma to be together. 

So this weeks episode was great, but really I cant wait for next weeks episode! First of all its, gonna be 90 minutes long, and....wait for it.... KURT is coming back to McKinley!

WOOHOO!!!!!

That is so exciting! 

However, I miss watching GLEE with all my friends out in Idaho.  Also I miss watching psych, and How I met your mother.

Um, have yall ever seen that show?

Its basically hilarious and I watch i every time it is on TV, which, if you were wondering, is at 11:30, 12:00, and 12:30...haha its a different episode every time too! SO yeah...

Well I better get going, I need some sleep, like now, and I am going to make a resolution to blog! I.need.to.blog.more.

I am sorry!

I promise there will be more blogs to come!

Love and miss all of you!

Long time, no see

So....guess where I am?

Sitting in the Salt Lake City Airport, on my way to....VEGAS!

OK, not really, but yes really, I just have to stop there before going to....wait for it....

ALABAMA!

Im going home!

Woohoo!

Its been almost nine months since I've been home and I am dying...

I dont know what Im gonna have to do when I have a REAL job and cant go home at least once a year...

But, maybe I will anyways.

I cant wait to sleep in my REAL bed!

Well, I better go, I think were about to board.

See ya soon!

Finals week...

...is kicking my butt. Ugh. All I wanna do is sleep.

But i cant.

Too much stuff to do.

I will admit though, I have taken a nap or two here and there.

My semesters are always so different when it comes to finals.  Sometimes I have eight HUGE tests, and then there are times like this when I have 3 tests and 4 projects and 2 papers to do...seriously?

Have I started on my papers? No.

Projects? Sort of...

Spanish test. Yes.

Voice Jury. Yes. (this is the one I'm terrified of)

And to top it off...finals week is ALWAYS the week of/during/after General Conference Weekend.

How am I supposed to do all of that stuff AND watch General Conference?

Come on...

We go to a church school, you would think they would take that into consideration

Am i right or am i right?

Oh well, bring it on.  Even though its stressful, it usually turns out well in the end.

So today is my lovely sister LILY's birthday.  

She is a wonderful person and someone I definitely look up to...well sometimes...just kidding.

She is turning 19, gees, I feel old.

She is beautiful, makes everyone feel included, funny, awkward, nice, smart, caring and she can cook.

She likes to sing, stay on the internet for hours, and loves HARRY POTTER. (We have that in common...) She cooks, loves Dr. Pepper, loves basically ALL foods.  She has hundreds of friends, who she stays in touch with, and loves the gospel with all her heart. She loves Chick-fil-a, Red Robin, and Jim n' Nicks, to name a few... She loves animals, painting/drawing/ doing art.... and messing up spaces...and last but not least, shoes and clothes.  Oh and the thrift store. She will kill for a bargain.

Things she doesn't like...

School

Usually the people I date

getting up early

chores

People (more specifically my parents) telling her what to do

Those are just a few.

Basically she is awesome and a guy would be lucky to have her in his life.  

I know I'm lucky to have her as my sister.

We may not talk all that much, but when I get back from school, or just from being gone, its like I never left.  She may be a slob, but I still love her.

Happy Birthday Lil. I love you!

Happy Birthday Sis!

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!

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!
