"I'm going to make a decision. I've made my decision. Decision made."

I've decided to make my return to the blogging world. Huzzahhh! 

I know you've missed me.

Got stuck at the airport for 6 hours. A happy accident because I got to have Cafe Rio with my brother! Hollllaaaa again.

Moving Renton, Lisa, and Ava out of their house :( They're moving to Utah next month. 

My brother eating dinner. Now this doesn't look very exciting, but you guys....see that plate? It's actually a PLATTER. Probably 16 inches across, I'd guess. And it is FILLED with enchiladas. He's a growing boy. 

I'm baaaaaaaack! 


New posts coming soon.

HSM3 and Kyla's weekend

One of my BFF's Kyla came to visit me this past weekend here in Rexburg. We were roommates for 4 semesters, but sadly she had to graduate and leave me last July of 2007. But, being the great friend she is, comes to visit me regularly, wherever I may be. She got here on Friday night, and left Monday night. Thank you Allegiant Air with their cheap flights for making this weekend all possible! We had a blast. We started the weekend off right with a little Bajio. Yes mom, I know you're jealous. We saw High School Musical 3 on saturday, which was great and we loved it! Other than that, just hung out with old friends, made movies for our friend Kara who is on a mission in Cambodia right now, and just had fun. Thanks for coming Kyla. You rock my world.

Enjoy the pictures!

I bought red clip-in hair extentions for the movie. They looked awesome.

I love these girls.

It's been a while

What do you get when you combine me, kyla, corn salsa, and twilight? One fantabulous weekend, that's what!

I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but I've been busy and haven't ever gone around to it. I mean, with the Olympics on every night from 8-midnight, i just HAD to watch all 4 hours of them, every single night, right? Anyhoo...So almost a month ago (a whole month, sheesh! time is flying!) my old roomie Kyla came up from Las Vegas to visit me. We had a total blast. Why is it so much fun to just sit around and laugh about the past? She came on Thursday night, July 31st and left on Sunday, August 3rd.

Friday we started off the day hiking Badger Mountain with Danielle and my mom. My mom and I had hiked this 4 mile hike many-a-time, but it was Kyla and Danielle's first time. I think they enjoyed themselves. (I hope?) Despite the intense wind....

Ok, so any hard-core Twilight fan knows that Saturday, August 2nd, was a very important day in their lives. The 4th book came out! I have been looking forward to this day for...who knows how long...and then it finally came. Kyla and I went to pick up our line placement wrist bands for the midnight release party around 3pm on Friday, and its a good thing we did! We were numbers 36-39 and I saw a girl with number 230 on her wristband, and she was still part of those who had reserved the book, then those who hadn't reserved the book were after all of us, so I wonder how many people were actually there that night? Here are a few pics of the midnight release party over at Barnes and Noble.

We were actually able to buy the book around 12:04am. We came home, got ready, Kyla brought out her Diet Coke, and began to read the book around 12:30am. We didn't stop reading until 7am, when we were forced to get ready for my mom's work patient party that we had to help at. It really was torture, cooking hotdogs for 6 hours with Breaking Dawn on the brain. I just wanted to know what happened! Kyla and I came back home, and took a little nap, then about 2 hours later, woke up and started reading again, paused to eat dinner around 8pm, then read till we both fell asleep again, which wasn't too much later, around 9:30. We were very tired. Then we woke up on Sunday and read till it was time for church, then came back home and read till dinner, then read some more after dinner, where we finally finished. We LOVED it! Really I did, i've been hearing good things and bad things about, but, everything that I wanted to happen, happened! So I was very happy with the way it ended. But, I haven't had my fill. I want it to keep going on and on....I was honestly sad when I read "the end". My heart literally broke a little bit.

Overall it was a super fun weekend with my girlfriend Kyla. Good food, good book, good laughs, good times. I love my friends.

School starts two weeks from today. Ugh. I'm sooo not ready to do homework again.

This weekend I'm going down to Phoenix with my parents to pick up the sailboat they bought. I know, I think they're crazy too. I'm not really looking forward to the drive home from Arizona. I haven't made a drive that long in...i don't know when. I guess I'm just spoiled from all those free flights. I tried to get Kyla to go to Hawaii with me instead, but, no such luck.

My ipod mini (which they don't even make anymore), officially bit the dust. Well, I guess its 'official' death date would be about 2 months ago, but I finally bought a new ipod cord (my old roomie stole mine, thief!) to see if I could find out what's wrong with it, but I've tried everything it said to do on apple.com/support, and my ipod isn't even responding when I plug it into my computer. ugh. But, i have been wanting a new one for a while, so I guess this just gives me the excuse to actually go and buy a new one! Whoopie!

Sorry for the long, boring, post.

Bitter-sweet symphony....

Happy B-day to ME! Yep, that's right. Today is my 22nd birthday. You know what that means? Only one more year before my life officially comes to an end.....the day I turn 23, is the day my free flying gets taken away. WHY?!?!?! Dang you Delta! So, that means I only have one year left to go on all my trips I've had planned. (Namely to Australia, that Danielle and I have had planned for 5 years. Start saving yellers!) But, I still have my birthday to celebrate today! So party on!

On a happy note, my BFF Kyla is coming on Thursday! She was supposed to come last weekend, but, due to some unexpected events, she is coming this weekend. (Something about a famous brother coming home.....more important than me? I beg to differ. ) But, it actually ended up working out better, because, she gets to stay longer than she had originally planned, she will be here for the midnight release party of the 4th twilight book, and for my mom's work patient party, and I wasn't in the greatest of moods this past weekend. So, its probably better she's coming this weekend. I really cannot wait! Mostly to talk in the "bubble voice" all weekend. But really, I just can't wait for her to come! I wish you could all have the chance to meet Kyla someday. She really is the coolest ever. I mean it.

On a possibly happier note, my BFF Danielle who just got home from her mission last week, started reading Twilight! Yes, another has been sucked in! She read the first book in one day, then called me last night, frantic, because she needed the second one. I told her she could get it when she came for my birthday festivities tonight, and she responded with "I have to wait that long!?!?" So, she came over and got it last night at 10pm. I'm so happy I could bring another into the flock.

On a really-fantastic-news note, grades were posted and.......I passed Chemistry! It was really touch and go there for a while, but I passed with a C+. Now, I know some of you genius' out there are thinking, "A C+?! That sucks!" But, I am very proud of that C+. That Chemistry class was the hardest class I have ever taken in my life, and I was actually surprised that I did that well in it. There were numerous times where I really just had no idea what was going on. It did drop my GPA a little, but I had A's in all my other classes, so not too bad. Math is totally my downfall.

Well, off to celebrate my birthday. Sorry my posts are so lame and boring. What can I say, I have a pretty boring life. But, after this weekend, I will have some very exciting things to post about! Kyla, Twilight, etc.........I can't wait!

"The whole enchilada...."

I'm so excited to see her tonight....

And her on Friday!

It's going to be a great couple of weeks. This week I get to see 2 of my BFF's and next week is my birthday!

So excited!

Why am I so excited you ask? Because this little lady comes home from her mission 3 weeks from tomorrow!(This is her actually in Russia, looks cold!)

That's right folks, my bestest best friend Danielle Robinson comes home from her mission to Yekaterinburg Russia in 21 days. I can't wait!

Now I present to you, a little "Ode to Danielle" and our crazy times together......

The birth of a blog...

So, for my very first blog entry, I thought I would inform you all of the wonderful weekend I just had! My girlfriend Kyla came up from Las Vegas to visit me. We had a blast...even though it rained most of the weekend.
What more could you want for the makings of a great weekend? Corn Salsa (aka heaven in a bowl), Pumpkin cream cheese cookies from broulims, Mary-kate and ashley movies, and an autographed 8x10 picture of Kyla's boyfriend Stephen Collins (aka the dad on 7th heaven).

Me, Kyla, and our favorite road.

We rented a recumbant tandem for the weekend. Pretty much the highlight of my life.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone...it had to be done. the sign was asking for it.

mmmm.....Snoasis. For those of you who haven't taken part in one of life's greatest pleasures that is Snoasis, you are really missing out. I urge you to 1. get in your car 2. Drive to Rexburg, Idaho....if not already there 3. Order Kiwi & Cream or a coconut & cream 4. enjoy your newly acquired little treat 4. die and go to heaven. Can i get an amen?!

and that just about sums it up. Sorry if this isn't the most interesting post in the world.....be nice, i'm still learning.
