I had to repost this from the Fail Blog. It’s pretty crazy.

I’m Missing You Like Candy

Yes, I did just quote a Mandy Moore song. It kind of ties in. Maybe.

The other night in bed, I was sucking on a cough drop. When it got to the end, I crunched on it a little bit.

T.J. then said,

Are you really eating something right now?

I couldn’t stop laughing because his tone just seemed so disgusted and annoyed. It was almost like he was thinking, “Can she not stop eating even when she’s going to bed?”

He thought I was eating some candy and trying to hide it since I had turned away. No, although I am a pig most of the time, I try to hold off at least for a few hours each night, thank you very much.

To end this post, and because we all need a little Mandy Moore in our lives, enjoy this music video:

Just for fun. Just for fun.

During Church on Sundays, T.J. and I list our favorite names.

Baby names.

I’m not pregnant nor are there plans for that soon, but I love love love thinking about baby names. It tends to spark contention between T.J. and me, but I usually can stop a fight with,

When you carry the baby for 9 months, you can have the final say.

Here are our favs. Fortunately, T.J. and I agree on the majority of them.

  1. Evelyn. We’d call her Eva.
  2. Leighton. We’d call her Leighton.
  3. Brooklyn. We’d call her Brooklyn
  1. Lincoln. I secretly will call him Link because of Hairspray.
  2. Bentley (I guess we like car names?). We’d call him Bent. Just kidding.
  3. Liam. T.J. dislikes this name, but it’s my favorite. Partially because Liam Neeson is the man.

Three girls. Three boys. Perfect.

All Because Two People Fell In Love

Okay, I actually hate that cliché title. But my Dad has been going through old slides and negatives and uploading them to his computer and he has found some amazing photographs, most of which we’d never seen.

Here’s my favorite set. It’s of my mom on my parents’ first date over thirty years ago. I’m so grateful for my parents, their marriage, and their conversion to the gospel.

Beach Hair

I miss the sun.

I miss the smell of sunscreen.

I miss having knotty hair from the chlorine and salt water.

I miss the clothes.

I miss the tan.

I miss the adventures.

How many days till summer?

Morning Mahem

I’ve got a lot going on in my mind. I can’t even escape from it when I sleep. Seriously. Last night I dreamed that I was worrying about everything.

Isn’t that the worst?

Beside from these long-term concerns, I’ve got a lot of short-term concerns. As in, all my homework due today that I did not accomplish. I guess I could blame it on procrastination. But I’m going to blame it on the long-term concerns. How can I be expected to do my homework when I have all these other things going on in my head?

Oh, and T.J. got into an car accident yesterday. He’s fine. The car will probably need a new bumper, but it’s drivable.

Just when we thought we couldn’t get any poorer, we did.

Last night, I went to bed before T.J. got home because he had to stay on campus late to work on a project. I’ve said this before, but I’m extremely scared of robbers/rapers. I always have been and I always will be. It’s so bad right now that I hide my expensive possessions when I leave the house. Well, as I was laying in bed I swore I heard someone come into the house. I was too scared to look, so I tried to be silent and I put the blanket over my head, plotting how to defend myself. When I woke up this morning, my laptop was gone. I started panicking! Freaking out. But then I realized I moved it right before bed. All was well. No robbers attacked last night. But I think I need to start worrying about how psycho I am turning out to be.

That is all. I probably should get going and finish my homework. Have a good day, folks.

Manti in January, Manti in July

The big news this month is that my brother Sam proposed to his beautiful girlfriend Ashley.

She said yes.

I couldn’t be happier for the both of them or ask for a greater sister-in-law-to-be. Ashley has already become a valuable part of our family, so I’m glad she is here to stay.

(Wow, I just started crying…what’s wrong with me?)

Anyway, the details are still being worked out because their situation is complicated. But hopefully they will be married in the Manti temple this summer, perhaps July!

While I’m talking about the Manti temple, here’s T.J. and I freezing on the front steps after Karen’s sealing. Hopefully it will be a little warmer this summer.

Fondu, Family, Fun

Sunday night, we all got together for a delicious dinner, Just Dance 2, and finished the night with chocolate fondu. This night went down in my book as one of my favorites, probably because of the video I’ve uploaded here. Check it out.
