Over and gone

I can't believe how fast this weekend went. I swear I just got here! I wish the week would go by as fast as this weekend did. I'm gonna miss being home. Its always so much fun for me, but then again that's just cuz I have the best appendage ever (Sydney), we spend all day doing fun stuff for the most part...not to mention all the nintendo and board games we all play. Good times. I gotta tell ya...mario party on the wii is definitely fun. Much harder than I thought it would be! And I'm proud to say that I still have my pro bowling status on wii too! YAYUH!

Today at my sister's ward, Cheryl (a sister in their relief society presidency) comes up to me and says, "I just want to call you Bandaid, but I know that's not right!" haha. I just laughed and said its what everyone calls me anyway so it was okay. She guessed my name afterwards, but it was definitely funny. Talk about flashbacks to Washington. haha. I went to my parent's ward too to say hi to everyone and I saw Josh Runyon for the first time since he got back from his mission! talk about tan! Sheesh...I'm definitely jealous. I also saw sister Nebeker. I know that's really not relevant to anyone but Leash Dawg, but it was definitely awesome to see Neb Nebs! She was just visiting from Vegas, so it was definitely good timing.

Meredith, Sydney and I took our sunday nap together on my brothers bed...I know Syd is little, but sheesh...I never thought that 3 people could take a nap on a queen bed. haha good times. I really hope Ben isn't gettin the flu and that he just overdosed on the little smokies we had for dinner. His plate was half full of em! :)

I'm watching Oklahoma right now and its the part with the big dance thing...I really wish that we still had choreographed partner dances like that that everyone knew. How fun would that be?! And even a girl like me who doesn't like wearing dresses thinks it would be way fun to have the occasional town party where everyone gets all dressed up in fun dresses and dances and junk...maybe someday, but I highly doubt it! :) Anyway, I guess I should go finish packing or something! XOXOXO

GTT!

GONE TO TEXAS!!! does anyone remember that play we all had to be in in 4th grade? Good times...funny times too. Square dancing is definitely not my forte! :) Anyway, so I'm definitely back in Texas now and I'm loving every minute of it! Its been rainy and cold the whole time, but its totally worth it. We went around dallas for a bit visiting people and went and had lunch with Ben which is always good and lots and lots of playing and cuddling with Syd! Tonight, my bro and I definitely stayed up playing wii and watching Friends. Good times, good times. I'm not sure what's going down tomorrow, but whatever it is, it'll be awesome!

I hope everyone's valentines day was awesome! There wasn't a whole lot that went on that was different for me...other than having an awesome girls night in! We watched night at the museum and ate lots and lots of junk food. You really can't get much better than that! :)

Well, I've been up since like 3:15 this morning, so I think I'm gonna hit the sack so I can be all ready to go for tomorrows festivities!

I'll Always Be Irish! A Fact I'll Not Deny! :)

Holla! What's shakin?! Not too much has been going on here...just the same ol' same ol'! Although, I'm definitely counting down the days til I get to come home! In Sydney's language that would be "1 more nursery!" haha. yayuh! I'm so excited to get back to the warm weather and awesome family! boom baby! It seems like every day something happens to where I just get more and more excited to get out of provo for a few days! it will be well work the 260 bucks!

Fun story! I was in irish class yesterday and I guess there's some talent show thing for some group within the dance department so I'm dancing with them in it because they needed a few more people. So that should be fun. AND this weekend I get to go see Riverdance in SLC with some of my friends so its gonna be an Irish filled weekend! Ron's farewell is this weekend too so that'll be nice to see everyone again.

Anyway, I guess I should get back to work. I just spend the last 45 minutes talking to one of my co-workers about life. lol. I love working with psychologists! :) Hope yall are havin an awesome day!

Reaching the finish line

I did it y'all! I tried out for So You Think You Can Dance. It was actually a pretty lame-o experience, BUT on the bright side, I know how to get past the judges for future reference so maybe if I'm still wanting to try out next year, I'll know how to go about it better. Here's the scoop...when we got there (after waiting for about 3 hours) the preliminary judges asked us to raise our hands as to which style of dance we were trying out with. However, about 99.9% of the thousands of people who were there were jazz/contemporary including *raises her hand* you guessed it! Anyway, they said that only like 200 people tried out in Dallas...good thing that's where I'll be this time next year eh? But because there were so many of us, they had to start cracking down on all of us "unoriginal" sort. For the first hour and a half to two hours, they were handing tickets out like students hand out flyers in the WILK. (For those of you who never went to BYU...thats a LOT)!:) Anyway, after that amount of time, one of the judges got up and was like, because there are so many of you with this style, we have to be really selective, so pretty much, unless you are doing partner work or something really out of the ordinary with cool tricks we haven't seen before, you wont get through to the judges. How true that is! haha. So I basically sat in an auditorium and stood outside for a total of 7 hours to dance for 10 seconds...that's right...thats all the time we were given. It was still a really cool experience though. I'm glad I did it. No regrets remember?! And like I said, the good thing is, everyone that did partner work got through, so I'm sayin...booyah! Now all I have to do is find a guy that's a sucker that can work his way around the dance floor and is preferrably not gay. hahah. I got to sit next to and make friends with a black guy today though, so that's always good. I miss them...a lot. :) Anyway, I really gotta do homework now, I just thought I'd keep yall posted! XOXOXO

Its Official!

Just a quick note...I'M COMIN HOME! WAHOO! I'm so darn excited. I bought my ticket to fly home this morning, so I'll be in Texas from Friday morning til Monday afternoon of President's Day weekend! Not too long, but totally worth it! I can't wait!

My roommates are still trying to get me to try out for So You Think You Can Dance. Its this monday, so they better start giving me really good reasons cuz I'll need to practice. haha. Anyway, sorry this is short, I just wanted to celebrate with all yall Texans that read this cuz I'm totally headed home!! Homework calls! Love yall bad! XOXO

Life Goes On

HEY! Whats happenin?! Not a whole lot is new here...just cold as usual! :) I actually had the thought last night that I want to fly home for President's Day weekend if I can find a cheap flight that fits in my budget. With everything going on right now I think I just need to get out of the BYU environment for a few days. Maybe more like the Utah environment, but its mostly the same thing. haha. We'll see though...I'm just thinkin about it at the moment. How cool would that be tho? There's nothing a little bit of family can't fix!

This weekend should be fun...a bunch of us are going to this thing on campus for my friends birthday. Its got like laser tag, a dance, food, kareoke, etc. etc. etc. She wanted to go so we're gonna hit that up for a while and then I get to come home and clean my butt off for cleaning checks! YAYUH! I do like to clean, especially our apartment cuz it gets so nasty. BLEH. Anyway, Saturday morning we have a VT workshop that we're putting on and then I think I'm going with my roommate to go wedding dress shopping. I'm quite the pro and I know where all the good places are, so it should be quite productive! :) Later on, I'm volunteering at the TRC in the MTC to be an investigator for the missionaries there and then my friend and I are goin out to dinner for each others birthdays. YAYUH! I always love a good girls night out.

If anyone sees syd today, make sure to give her a big hug from me for her birthday! I sure miss all of yall and I hope I get to see you soon! XOXOXO

Going to school in Narnia?

Alright, alright, alright. First off, I want to apologize to Adrienne for not giving her enough stuff to do while she's at work. I promise I'll try to be better at updating! :) So these last two weeks have been INSANE. I'll do my best to catch yall up in an orderly fashion!

Okay, so first off, Trevor and I broke up...its been just about the hardest thing EVER. It just didn't feel right so we thought that it would be for the better and I tell you what...breaking up with someone you still have feelings for, sucks. Especially when its the same on the other side of it too. haha. BLEH. Good thing for self-control...i guess. hahaha. We have what we call "weak moment" days and well, they stink real bad. THey mostly occur on Wednesdays cuz we have a class together, so if you ever feel the need to call me and give me a boost of encouragement, I welcome the move. haha.

It has been soooo incredibly cold here. Like feeling like negative 13 one day. NOt even joking. I swear, my ears and tip of my nose got frost bite or something. EW. Its been horrible. Like going to school in Narnia before the return of Aslan! BLEH...it would explain why I dont always go to class, but I really need to be better about that. haha.

Anyway, my birthday was Tuesday which was fun. Although, I definitely didnt do any homework pretty much all week and I'm way behind. Good thing for three day weekends! I plan on catching up, although that hasn't happened so far! OOPS! :) we had some people over for cake and ice cream which was fun and just sat around and talked n stuff. We saw that the auditions for 'So you think you can dance' are coming to SLC in February and my roommates all want me to try out. I do too...I know I wouldn't probably make it very far, but I think it would be a cool experience. If I did it tho, that would mean that I would have to skip more class and work and I've already skipped three classes! *blushes* haha. We'll see...I have a couple of weeks to think about it.

Thursday night was...nice. haha. I was out running some errands when my phone combusted. It was pretty funny. I don't think that I can even describe in words what it was doing, but long story short, I had to end up buying a new phone. I also took my car in to the shop yesterday to get some stuff fixed too, so its been funny. ANyway, I really need to get in the shower so I can get started on my homework n stuff. Love you guys and miss yall tons! XOXOX
