fever.

the other night when i came home, i was shocked to see my dad's creativeness. this is what i saw in my room..

it's a joke that i love jimmer. and honestly, who doesn't love jimmer here in provo? well across the nation? how could you not after his humble personality, great jumpshot, and to die for shoulders and jaw bones? i thought this was pretty funny. and my dad thought he was uber clever. did i just use uber?

oh, and i finally bought this movie!

one of my all time favorites now. agnes is adorable. 

off to bed and waiting to watch the cougs take on yet another opponent! i'm looking forward to jimmer's performance. go cougars! 

it's a hairy situation.

today. i went from this.... (i'm in the middle, he he he)

to this..

you like? i'm nervous about it. but i like it. it is change! and i like change! i am now considered a brunette. i hope my life is still the same even though my hair is different. haha. 

oh, and does anyone know how to get one of those word collages of all the tags in my posts? i like those. granted i don't have a lot of posts, but i still like those word collages. 

overheard.

everyone. i recently "overheard" of something that is going to take up some serious amounts of my time. anyone heard of "overheard at byu"? if you have, i am certainly out of the loop. but i checked it out just barely, and i will be on there more than once a week to hear of the funny things said at byu. how sweet is it that someone actually made a website so these bizarre comments can be posted? made my day. if you want to check it out, click here.


another thing that made my day - i saw some good friends today, made me so happy to see them and catch up in between heading to separate classes. 


and. i was buying a small bagel and a water bottle. somehow my card i was paying with (i had just previously checked my balance to make sure i had enough, and yes i did..) didn't work. i was standing there as the girl kept saying, "it's not working, sorry". it was a little embarrassing, but not for me. a nice guy behind me said he would pay for me. what a nice deed! i'll probably never see him again, but it was very nice. 


i'm getting excited to watch jimmer fredette and his fellow cougs play sdsu. jimmer, for me, score lots of points okay? i wish him the best. i will be starting it a little late, hopefully i don't miss tip off, because i will be at young women's. oh did i mention i am now the assistant young women's advisor in my ward? well, i am the new assistant young women's advisor in my ward. i am excited about it. wait, am i old enough to have a calling like that? i guess so. 


life is good. i am happy. 

glittery.

yes i am alive after a suspenseful, scary, horrific, spontaneous date i had on friday. it involved a very tiny plane flying to salt lake. it was fun but i am glad i am safe and sound here in provo, utah. 


i wore my black sparkly toms to school today. 
it was one of those days where i knew, even last night, that i was going to be wearing a hat because my hair was disgusting. then, i just found some clothes, put them on, and hoped i would look okay for the zoobies at school. (not that i even care if they look at me). 


great day today? one of my classes was cancelled. great news!


i have had a day full of learning piano basics that i learned when i was 5 years old, over 14 years ago? holy cow. 
i learned about president monson's life (more to be continued on wednesday), what a great man! i am beginning to love him more as i learn about his life. 


then.. i am excited for the week long excitement of what will happen on the bachelor tonight. crazy michelle is probably going to get crazier and i can't wait to watch her creepiness in action. 


today is a good day. and it's sunny! gives me some hope for the summer. 


oh.. and my brother in africa changed his mind and might want us to come get him when his mission ends. might means that he might, yet again, change his mind about us coming. so that plan is always up in the air. we will see though. i love my bro bro. his birthday is coming up. i hope it is full of eating bugs, driving around young missionaries, and lots of dirt roads!


another oh. i applied to the london study abroad in the fall. i have an interview this week and i hope i knock their socks off! it would be even more fun if taylor applied and got in. and we could go together. that would be idyllic (i learned that word from my favorite move, the holiday, that i watched on saturday with a cutie :) ) -- does that make sense that i just did a smiley face and a parentheses thing? oh well. 

come on guy....

seriously guy next to me? you are CHOMPING, and when i say chomping, i mean chomping. the loudness it taking over me and i can hardly sit here. i even had to put in my headphones and i have my volume up to 5 bars on my mac. that's loud for headphones. so loud. and it still is NOT covering up his noise. i am shocked that someone can chew as loud as he is. 


pet peeve #1: people chewing with their mouths open. especially.. inconsiderately. 


especially when chewing these....

little does he know that i am writing a blog post about him. he is trying to be healthy by eating 0 grams trans fat.. props for that. but maybe.. if he was a little quiter? that would probably be better. 

my african bro bro.

some pictures from the past have been appearing in our house. i was downstairs actually looking for something else, but came across this one in a box of pictures of me in my phenomenal, stylish, younger years. 

how adorable are these pictures? makes me miss my bro bro in africa. his pigeon toed stance. his elaborate cowlick right in the center of his forehead. he's my bestie. i miss him. i can't wait for him to come home and enjoy some brick oven pizza with me. i love him. 

KFP.

i went to kentucky fried chicken today (KFC). i decided that it should be KFP for kentucky fried processed. because it's most likely processed chicken!

over the past few weeks, i have become even better friends with my best friend! (is that even possible? i think so.)

we have had so many fun memories together. all because i decided to try out for cheer my senior year. best decision i have ever made. we have basically been best friends ever since, i love her to death. she is amazing. she loves ice cream as much as i do. she will eat as much as i do so i don't feel stupid. she listens, she is dang gorgeous, she can jump higher than i am tall, and she is so genuine and loves to hang out with me even if i choose to wear leggings and ugg boots. i'm so glad to have her in my life. she makes me better that's for sure. 

tay.. i love you girl!

songs for me.

i think it's really cool that blogger wouldn't let me post last night. so i am today!!


first off, school is kicking my butt. being on campus from 9 am to 5 30 pm two days a week is harder than i thought it would be! 


we have an empty house. my cute kiddies left yesterday and we are all pretty sad that we are stuck here without them! it was so fun to have them here. 


here's my cuties on christmas morning. 

i am missing them already! 

i am excited though for a new camera lens i just ordered thanks to my cute friend whitney, it should be here soon! can't wait to use it! 

the new year. here goes!

cheers to a new year! 2011 here we come. 


i hope this year, 2011, will bring me some great and exciting things.


it will bring me a brother from africa who has been gone for 16 months and 28 days. 
i hope it will bring me 
adventure,
happiness, 
spontaneity, 
warmth, 
friendship,  
memories,
and mostly -- change. 


i hope that it will bring me motivation to go to the gym and keep a steady schedule for improving my hot and important bod. 


i hope it will bring me to post on this blog more! i like this posting thing. 


i hope it will bring me determination to keep up on my new year's resolutions that i haven't quite come up with. it's only barely january 1st, i still have a few days to figure those out. 


i hope it will bring me the desire to pursue what little artistic ability i have and continue to do things i love! 
like making these pretty things:

and learning more about this thing:

i hope it will bring me desire to do things for other people that will bring happiness into my life. 


i hope it will bring me many things that i can remember forever. 


if only life could go as easy as keith urban says it is. man, would all of us be living the perfect life! 


i look forward to 2011. 

i hope it does me well!!
