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.

In [three] years time

Three years ago, I was a little freshman in Harris Hall over in the dorms. January came upon us and, for all of you who don’t know what that meant, all I can say is LOST.

Yes, LOST was starting back up and I didn’t have my usual crowd from back home to watch it with me. So, one thing led to another and my Visiting Teachee’s roommate said,

I’ll watch LOST! Let’s be best friends!

And so we did. And we were.

This best friend of mine turned 22 years old today. I want to wish Hannah, my multicultural friend (pick your favorite: Asian, Mexican, Eskimo-an, South African, British) who I watched LOST with just three years ago, a very happy Birthday!

Our friendship is unique. It just works. We compliment each other and always have a ball together. Whether it’s to share the latest gossip… er… I mean…news, to stay up all night and watch old movies, cleaning our rooms (but mostly Hannah’s room), seeing midnight movies, going on road trips, Facebook stalking, or wedding planning, Hannah’s been the best!

So, here’s to you, Hannah! Thanks for watching Lost with me. Thanks for not making fun of me when I cry all the time, letting me clean your room, teaching me how to make cupcake bites, taking me to Easter dinner that one time, helping me Facebook stalk, not getting mad when I don’t plan anything ahead, being the best Maid of Honor, exposing me to Ingrid, taking so many classes with me through the years, not judging me when I got food out of the vending machines during church, getting me to go the gym, introducing me to our newest bestie (hint: starts with a Shoe and ends with a Kria), letting me eat all of your popcorn balls last Halloween, speaking in abreves, sparking my addiction with the Pie Hole and everything that goes with Pushing Daisies, sharing your “candy” water with me-however gross it was, studying late in the library with me, and g-chatting with me every afternoon.

You’re the best and I hope you have a wonderful year!

Classic Beauty

Yes, we all envy the romantic charm and stunning beauty of Audrey Hepburn, but I’m getting awfully sick and tired of seeing her in 100 posts a day on my google reader.

Gosh, and now I guess this post makes it 101.

Let’s move on to the other classics such as Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Natalie Wood, and Betty Grable. Please and Thank you.

Reason #57,201

While I was walking on campus today, I overheard part of a girl’s conversation she was having on the phone.

Maybe I was eave’s dropping. No way of knowing.

She was complaining to someone about how her roommate wasn’t cleaning her dishes and how their kitchen was always such a mess.

I smiled and thought,

Being married is the best.

Dear Valentine

Husband, you rarely read this blog (which is okay, because you’re busy and I know you still love me). But just in case you do happen to come across my blog in the next few weeks, I just wanted to remind you that my favorite flower is and always will be peonies. No flower is so delicate, so feminine, and so romantic.
