familia.

we had a family get together to celebrate my grandparents, and cousin quins birthday. my nana made the awesome cake, and we all enjoyed it. we just sat around and told funny stories because thats how we role in this family. my uncle then pulled out the guitar started playing some rock songs for us. my cousin also played a couple songs that he is learning. i love my family. they are all so talented and so funny. ps, my cousins are adorable. i love gabbi and lily. when we walk in the mall they tell people they are twins. they are not twins, but they are best friends. im so glad we live close to each other so we are able to have get togethers a lot. i love them.
last week was a little discouraging, and i hate being negative. hence the crappy posts, but every one goes through that right? this week has been much better but really busy. i was actually supposed to go to arizona tomorrow for a wedding. well my ride bailed, so some college town friends planned a vegas trip and wanted me to come along. things were not working out in my favor and i couldn't go. THEN yesterday i found out a close family member passed away, so i will now be going to a funeral. wow its amazing how plans can change so fast in one week. we will see what happens.

on a happy note, my birthday is next week!!! happy st patricks day to everyone!!

don't tell mom.

she found out. crap.

mom remember...

we love you.

music friday.

i am so glad it's almost the weekend. this week has been a roller coaster. ever had one of those weeks? 

but that's ok, today is a new day and tomorrow we are having a big family birthday party. 

here is a playlist of the songs that i have been loving on this week. hope you enjoy it!

something that makes you happy right now is the fact that i finally feel good about the things that are going on in my life. 

your favorite meal as of this week healthy pizza. yes i said it. make it.

pizza: heat oven to 375

 on one whole wheat carb smart totilla place two TB of pizza sauce(i use an organic kind found at any grocery store. it is lower in sodium, but any kind is fine). place 3 oz of chicken, 2 slices of deli turkey on the tortilla. you can also add any veggies of choice. 

put 2 TB of mozzarella cheese on top of toppings. 

place in the over for 13-15 minutes. i would watch for it, i like mine crispy.

BAM! a healthy pizza. who would have thought?

something that made you laugh this week would be this. oh gosh, i can't stop laughing.

a band you were introduced to this week we butter our bread with butter. that is a for real bands name folks.

favorite moment this week would be meeting my new australian friend sara. oh i can tell we are going to be great friends. she even gave me australian coins. cool! 

learning new phrases like cuddles for hugs. and fruits and nuts for darn it.

getting headband orders

getting more babysitting jobs

loving every moment right now.

now copy and paste, fill it out, place it on your blog and link your blog post in my comments. 

have fun!

it's the weekend.

let's be happy

christmas is the best time of the year.

yesterday my friend came over to make chocolate chip gingerbread cookies(they were amazing). she left to go have dinner with her family, so then i dilly dallied around the house until the Christmas Devotional started. I went to go turn on the TV, and it wouldn't work. i started to get to angry because a) WHY do tv's have to have 4 remotes to even get it to work and b) the tv wouldn't turn on. probably because i never watch tv, so i couldn't figure out which buttons to use on each of the remotes. what happened to the old school remotes where you press the POWER button, then use the up and down arrows to get to the channel? anyway thats not the point of this, my point being after 20 minutes i finally got the devotional on. it was wonderful. i LOVED the music and the talks. they were so inspirational, and i really felt the Christmas spirit. go here to watch and hear the beautiful words and music.whether your of my faith or not, it really is wonderful and brings such a great Christmas spirit. 
it really got me thinking about this Christmas, and how i don't want to waste one minute. I'm trying to soak it all in, because this will be the last Christmas we will have all together as a family for a couple years.
despite all the hustle and bustle of finals, i really want to make sure i feel the Christmas spirit everyday.
i love Christmas
i'm grateful for my Savior and that we get to celebrate him
i love my family
i love wonderful friends
i love the gospel. after all gospel means good news.

xoxo
Merry Christmas

thank goodness it's friday.

i'm exhausted.
burnt out.
tired of papers.
not looking forward to taking 7 tests in the next week.
i just want to sleep.
maybe i shouldn't go to bed at 1 in the morning.
this has just been a bad week, and i want it to just be sunday.
at least i only have 2 weeks left of the semester, then NO SCHOOL for 2 years.
praise the heavens!

other than that, i'm so excited it's december! december equals christmas music, trees, fun lights, hot cocoa, fun hats, warm jackets, fun parties, great food, awesome family, and wonderful friends.
is it just me or is december pretty much the best month of the year?
happy weekend!

1. The most spontaneous thing I've ever done.. There have been many spontaneous times in my life. while in collegetown we would take random midnight ihop runs up to hometown. one time we decided we wanted to check out this haunted little place underground, so we gathered up our flash lights and headed to the secret place. after that we all layed in the street and watched some stars. until i got freaked out that we were going to get run over.

2. The best gift I've ever received. all the wonderful people that have come in my life. is that a gift?

3. A time that I was truly and genuinely surprised was when i received my collegetown scholarship. i had tried out to be an ambassador for recruiting for collegetown. i was sitting in seminary and a couple reps from the college walked in to award me. my family was all there snapping pictures. speaking of which i should find those...

4. I can't leave the house without food, cell phone, and water.

5. My favorite day of the week is friday. i always anticipate what the weekend is going to bring.

6. Something that can always make me laugh is stuart from madtv. does anyone else watch stuart? please say yes...

7. My perfect day would include waking up under the stars to head out onto the lake to go fishing. then being able to watch the sun rise over the mountains and feel the cool breeze on my face. The rest of the day would be spent in the boat with my grandpa, dad and brothers. i love them. 

Thanks Lauren for the fill in the blank!

what are your plans for the weekend?

guess who has to go to the doctor because of being sick for 3 weeks?

yup, this gal right here.

sometimes when your under the weather it's ok to watch a plethora amount of movies.

It's true. I believe it was bronchitis that hit me this week. thank you weather.
so this weekend i a) did NOT dress up for halloween. but b) watched movies and lounged around. and that's ok. sometimes your body just needs to rest and heal.
so the movies i watched..
-julie and julia
-how to train your dragon
-batman (1992 version) with mr penguin
-back to the future
-4 episodes of bewitched aka my favorite tv show. yes it's the black and white version.

hope everyone had a great halloween
maybe next year will be more eventful at our house.

family weekend.

last weekend we had the opportunity to get away as a family. every year we have a little get away spot that we go to, and it is so much fun. we played, laughed, talked, took pictures, swam, and even played in a little fort. i love family, and they are such a blessing. i'm glad we were able to have such a fun time together.

hope everyone gets to cuddle up in warm clothes, and drink hot cocoa today because it's starting to get cold outside. enjoy

{fill in the blank friday}

 

 

1.   I am      so exhausted from this week, but so freaking excited it the weekend! i am also singing to my co workers, and it may or may not be followed up with some stellar dance moves. they love me *insert sarcasm*
2.  I wish   i could go shopping right now. thrifting to be exact. oh and i wish i knew what i was going to wear for pictures tomorrow.

3.  I like      my life right now. i finally feel like i am who i want to be, and i'm doing what is best for my life. 

4.  I can   be a little out of control. it's always an adventure that's for sure.

5.  I hope     i can get some time to go to the gym today. that would be mucho for the day. i also hope the block dance party we are attending tonight is a hit. for reals.
 

6.  I think     that i am surrounded the best people in the world. people are such great examples, and it is such a privilege to be able to have such wonderful people around.

7.  I was    just laughing at my co worker who was describing her costume. " i want to be ke$ha"  she says. ha!

 

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND!

hope it's filled with some pumpkins, hot cocoa and fun times!

5.  A talent I wish I had is     being organized all the time. have you ever met those people that just have everything put together all the time? yeah i that was my talent. i also wish i was more artistic.

6.  A talent I do have is     being able to talk to people easily.

saturday i played with my little sister and then went to carve pumpkins with some friends. we basically are pro's at pumpkin carving.

today i was spiritually lifted at church listening to the beautiful testimonies, and talks. i just love the gospel, my family and all my great friends.

1. True happiness is feeling those warm fuzzies inside, and being happy and content with your life.

2. The most surreal moment of my life was when i moved out of my house to go to collegetown. it didnt feel real, but i was so excited for my new adventure.

3. My favorite texture is anything. im not really picky.

4. My signature color is purple. i own alot of purple. but it just matches everything. love!

5. My signature style is layers. is that a style? i like to layer everything, and have things not matching. but i also mix styles alot, so i dont think i just have one style.

6. If I could choose one store to spend my life savings at, it would be H&M. seriously, that store makes me have a shop-gasm(alex!! haha). i love that it has a ton of different items and styles and you dont have to pay a pretty penny for it.

7. My best thing about fall  is everything. i love the changing colors, weather, clothes, chili runs in the caynon, and overall feeling that comes with fall.

what are your answers to these questions?

do you have a style?

what is your favorite store?

do you love fall?

Happy Friday

and first day of October!

thanks lauren for the great fill in the blank!

1.   In the story of my life the actor who would play me would be     Rachelle Lefevre from Twilight. It's the red hair.

3.  Yesterday    was an awesome day! i didn't have class until 11:30 am, then last night i finally got around to watch the KILLERS. um haaii Ashton Kutcher .

4.  My favorite comfort food is       a bowl of multi-grain cheerios or ice cream

have a rocknroll weekend! 

my weekend is going to be filled with dancing, movies, sleepover, waffles, family reunion, and just enjoying the sunny weekend. 

treasures.

i collected these treasures this weekend when i was with my mom in the upper part of the state.

right now I'm going through this weird weird kick when it comes to clothes and jewelry.

treasures equal rocknroll right?

but wear a skirt on a windy day.

that's not so much rocknroll.

1. The most adventurous thing I've ever done - I'm pretty adventurous, so i'll share one of my favorite adventures. Last fall semester we decided we wanted to pull some pranks. So we pulled out the mask of the president who shall not be named, and wanted to scared people in their windows on the first floor. After 30 minutes of that we decided that we should scare people on the 2nd floor. I put on the mask, then put my feet in the boys hands and they lifted me to the 2nd floor window. Long story short, the man who opened the blinds jumped, then opened the window and spit the toothepaste that was in his mouth on me. I fell to the ground, and we all took off running.

2. If I were a pair of shoes I would be nike high tops. Those shoes are rocknroll for sure.

3. My preferred mode of digital communication is talking over the phone. even then, I would much rather talk person to person.

4. I feel happiest when I am with my family and friends.
5. A little dream I have for my life is to be a fashion/wardrobe stylist.

6. The one modern convenience I could NOT do without is the internet.

7. Music, movies, TV or books: if I could only choose one to enjoy I would pick Music. It can help you clean the house faster, work out better, and even pick you up from a bad day.

Thanks Lauren for the awesome fill in the blank!
