Indian Fest

This is me, doing a cool yoga pose by a cool architectural design of a decorative spire thing of the Krishna temple.
There was a Llama petting zoo!! So of course we had to go check it out. The brown one kinda looked like he wanted to charge, so I stayed away from him just a bit. Plus they were standing in a lot of poop and I had flip flops on.
This is the Krishna temple. Its in Spanish Fork. Its really pretty and really really cool. I didn't realize another person was getting a picture too. But I think I look more happy and thumbs-upsy than her. But she looks more native. So I think that means we are at a tie.
This is when we were walking up there. It was a bit of a walk, but totally worth it! The architecture was so stunning and beautiful!
We watched a play and at the end they blew up a big huge bad guy.. and he burst into flame and fireworks. We were so close we got ashes in our eyes. I think it was a cool effect. If you look on the left side of the picture thats a monkey's head and above that is some arrows. Those were Raam's arrows. I guess he is one of the gods they worship. It was really insightful and really cool.

So we headed to the Indian fest (Renee, Lauren, Eun Joo, and I) and we got there and went inside the Krishna temple. We had to take our shoes off and we sat down on this huge rug. They had incense burning and it smelt pretty good. It was relaxing. Then there was some guys up at the front playing some authentic music. It was so cool! Then these two girls stood up and did a dance to the music. There was a shop downstairs and I bought a bag and a necklace made in India. After that we headed outside for the Llama petting zoo! One llama looked like it was going to charge. So we didn't stay too long. After that we watched a play and at the end the bad guy (as you can see above) got blown to pieces. It was really cool. Afterwards we booked it. Well, thats about it for my fun and eventful weekend! Oh except then Lauren and I went to a way cool party dance thing. And danced the night away and got caught in a mosh pit thing. We almost fell over and got squished. But it was still fun. Oh and after that we went to Renee's for some vegan cake. And it was actually pretty dang good! Well, I think that is all! Love you all!

BYU GAME!!

We made a cake!! And we decorated it with Fruit Loops!!
We are getting our game faces on. WITH MATCHING SHIRTS!!!
The BYU Edwards Stadium. This place was HUGE and packed!!!
This picture is solely for my mom. She loves marching band type things. And so I thought of her and took this picture.
Lining up for a great play that led to a 59-0 victory!! Go Cougars!!

We had so much fun! Koriann came over on Friday and she woke me up from my nap. And we took her stuff into my apartment and then we chatted it up about all the ward gossip.. haha! And then we went out for pizza and it was soooooo good! And then we came back and tried to set up her Wii.. But we couldn't get it to work. So we decided to watch some movies. So we watched Just Like Heaven and The Italian Job and the Trek 2007 movie (it still makes me cry, I felt bad I was like bawling during it.) and then we turned on Enchanted. But before we turned on Enchanted we made a cake! It was like 12:30.. so we decorated it the next morning. The next morning we slept in late and woke up and ate Fruit Loops and decorated the cake and went to the BYU GAME!!!! It was so much fun. We totally kicked some butt. The best play hands down was when UCLA lined up to go for a field goal and BYU was going to try to block the kick. Well, BYU didn't get to block the kick in time, but the ball went way right of the goal post. We were laughing so hard. It was amazing! After the game we came here for some cake and ice cream to celebrate the win!! A little while after that Koriann had to head home. We had so much fun though. Thanks so much for coming down Koriann! Love ya! After she left some friends and I went to an Indian Fest, but I will tell about that in my next blog post.

Life In Happy Valley

Lets see.. what do I have to say since last time I blogged.. Well. Its kinda rainy and gross lately. I haven;t had to walk in a downpour yet.. but I probably will soon. You guys should see all the parties down here with all the alcoholic beverages! I never knew they were so easy to get!! Just kidding. Its pretty much like I live in a bubble here. I'm not sure I like the bubble yet. I'm pretty much afraid to say anything about politics now hahaha. On Sunday we had regional conference. It was held at the Marriott Center and it was packed. Even the nose bleeds were packed.. but anyways. President Uchdorf was presiding and President Packer was also there and so was Sister Dibbs and guy from the first quorum of the seventy. But I don't exactly remember his name. They all talked and it was pretty good. That night there was a CES fireside and Elder Holland spoke I think. I finally got my BYU shirt. Finally. I've been trying to get one since I got down here and yesterday I just decided I would check because I needed to check if a book for one of my classes was in.. which I still need to get. But anyways.. there they were. A WHOLE TABLE FULL! So I took advantage of that. And now I can say I have a BYU Quest shirt. WHOO HOO. I might be in Ogden this weekend.. :D My friend Jaime goes here too and he's headed back up to Ogden for the weekend. So I might just might go with him. We'll see. This week my Family Processes class is cancelled. So I get a whole extra hour to do whatever.. like.. get a jamba. Which is like the floor below me. Tempting. I hope it gets warmer before it gets cold. My roomie Megan wants to go down the Provo River on tubes. My roomies are pretty cool still. Lauren has gotta be my favorite. Megan is pretty cool.. but this last week she reorganized the fridge and freezer 3 times. Lol. Hope likes things really clean. Like if I leave my keys on the table she asks if she can put them away.. it bugs just a bit. The other day Lauren and I decorated our apartment. We got paper and crayons and made murals and hung them up. We also hung up paper lanterns.  So I try to clean up after myself and keep my key and sunglasses leaving to a minimum.. My friend Kirsten has a new friend. His name is Seth. And he is weird. He was telling us how back in the day he was a little rebel, and how some people "can't pull off just one earring in their left ear.. but I can." The way he said that.. wow I had a hard time not laughing at him. CUZ HE COULDN'T PULL IT OFF EVEN IF HE TRIED. That's a pretty mean thing to say too.. I better stop with the mean stuff. Oh we had FHE the other night. That was pretty fun. We played this game to get to know everyone and we ate brownies. Pretty fun. Well I think that is about it for now.

A Post.

Well this week has been pretty cool. I guess I will start out at church that was at 2 o'clock. And it was fast Sunday.. And you Medskers know how we get moody with no food. Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But as soon as I got home I think I ate a lot of snacks and then Ramen or spaghetti-o's or something. I think I miss my mom's cooking. On Monday it was FHE and that was pretty fun.. and cold!! It was pretty dang chilly. We met at a park and we drove (Lauren, Kirsten, me, and some random kid named Greg.. no he wasn't cute. He was kinda.. mlegh... There aren't many attractive men here just so you all know) and we got lost on the way to the park. We finally found it and our ward and we played some games and ate Krispy Kreme's and hot chocolate and then we left. Well, me and Kirsten and Lauren met this girl named Ashley and she lives across from me and Lauren and so we took her instead of Greg home. But we saw him later that might so he didn't die. After FHE we went to campus and kinda walked around and tried to find buildings in the dark, and it was pretty well lit, so we were pretty successful. Tuesday I didn't have classes so I went to campus and found where my classes would be and then I took the OST (Office Skills Test). Today was my first day of classes. I had Living Prophets first and that was pretty fun. We just went over things and went around saying our names. Next was Family Processes and its kinda how families work and how certain circumstances can alter how families are and how well they work. Then I had Music 101, and that wasn't too bad. After that I came home and applied for some jobs and then me and my friend hiked to the Y on the mountain. And then I came home and showered and... sat around!! Oh by the way I did a bit of homework that consisted of reading syllabus'. Thats it for now. Me and my exciting college life. Love you all!

Happy Valley!

Well, I am now officially living in Provo!! Whoo hoo! Happy Valley! Anyways, I moved down Tuesday night. My parents drove with me and we unpacked all of my stuff and everything. My mom kept snapping pics of me looking around and unpacking, so those pics are probably on her blog if you want to check them out. When my parents left I was all alone.. none of my roomies would be coming until Wednesday. So.. I turned on my music because it was just so dang quiet! I’m so used to the noise of my siblings and it was just way too quiet. I ended up making my first meal my mom was all ecstatic about this and kept emphasizing my first meal on my own. Geez.)The Spaghetti-o’s were delicious. Then I put on Mr. Bean’s Holiday and watched it and just chilled out. I finally went to bed but it took a while because I WAS ALL ALONE. I woke up and had my first breakfast. Cereal. Whoo hoo. My roomies finally arrived! Finally! Megan came first and she is from Draper and she had her mom and dad and grandma. Then came Lauren and she is from Grand Junction. And then came Hope!! She lived in West Jordan. She lives in my room with me and she is pretty cool! She plays the acoustic guitar too. We all should be having some fun times. Wednesday night there was a BBQ and that was fun. The food was good and the company, enjoyable. There was a movie on a field but we headed back home to watch Enchanted! You gotta love chick flicks and snacks! Today Hope and I went to campus and got lost.. oh boy. That was fun. But we made it back to home! Well, that’s about it for now! Love you all!

Just so you all know..

This blog is in response to the many comments received about me and men and the Y. Yes, I'm moving down to the Y.. but no I am not going to get married. I think I will be staying single for quite some time. Just thought you all might want to know. I hope I didn't get your hopes up for an announcement in the mail. The end. :)

Another Post

Well, here we are again. Telling weekly stories. I think I will start with my horror of the week of getting my wisdom teeth out. So I get up and have my dad give me a blessing before I went in with me mom. My mom and I headed in and I got all hooked up to multiple machines.. I never knew they needed so many machines to pop a couple teeth out! I had a couple things hooked up to make sure I didn't flat line and die and another to check my breathing and then oxygen through the nose and then an IV. With all the electrical lines and everything I started to get a bit scared and stressed because the doctor (Michael Broadbent) started putting stuff in the IV and I think it was a good thing because all of a sudden I was waking up and I wasn't stressed anymore. I was scared. DEAD SCARED! I wasn't in the same room I started in and some lady was watching me. So.. I started to hyperventilate.. And the lady told me to breathe slower, but I couldn't! I don't even know why I was scared, I was having all these weird emotions, like I started crying and I was shaking all over. It was pretty bad. Anyways. I think the lady got worried because she started asking me all these weird questions, like to move my right and left hands and then feet. And then she was asking me what I like to do and who the president is (which when I came to the realization it was still Bush I was pretty bummed HAHA!) and what year it was. It took me a while to answer all the questions. But I finally calmed down and my mom came in. Afterwards we went to my dads work to say hi and then home for sleep. I think that the scariest part was waking up hands down. But the best part was the blessing my dad gave me before. I was asked to speak on Sunday and I was pretty worried about that with my teeth getting cut out and all. My dad gave me a blessing and he said that I would heal quickly, and that was said a couple times and he also said that I would be able to speak on Sunday. Which I did today! I haven't had hardly any pain at all the whole time. I have just been a bit tired and thats all. Today I got to be in the nursery one last time and I loved every minute of it! Those kids are just so so cute! I'm going to miss being in there. So lately I've been trying to pack a couple things here and there to make my mom happy because she is stressing out. And its finally hit me that I'm moving on Tuesday night. I'm not sure whether I am happy or sad. I think its a mix of both. I don't think I have any more stories. Except for my new favorite line from Finding Nemo.. I heard this line when I woke up and couldn't sleep because it was too quiet (weird I know) so I put on Finding Nemo and fell asleep to it and somewhere in the movie I was only half asleep and Dori says "Give it up old man, I was built for speed. " And I thought it was pretty funny. Not funny enough to wake up and laugh. But my brain laughed. Questions, comments, queries, quizzical somethings of any kind you know what to do with them! Love you all!

Don't Read If You Are Planning To Read The Twighlight Series!!

I just finished Eclipse.. this holds info about that book :)

Okay, so I just finished Eclipse and I just need a little venting time. Aimee told me she would give the ending away if I kept going off. Anyways. So I admit.. I'm furious that she picked Edward over Jacob. ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! Yeah yeah she needs Edward or whatever but I think Jacob is better for her. I like his personality so much better. And he's half human so that's gotta be good for something. And just contrasting werewolf and vampire.. I'd hands down pick werewolf. Hands down. Plus how Jacob is somehow always warm sounds pretty nice. I'm not a person for cold and hard people. I wish she picked Jacob. I still have one book to read and I hope she gets with Jacob. Well, that's all for now.

The Past Little While..

I haven't blogged for a while, so I figured it was that time again. I finished up my class. The last day of class, before it started I headed up o the University to check out the art they had there.. THEY HAD MONET! I really like his stuff, but they didn't have any Rembrandt, and he's my favorite. They also had some Picasso. It was really neat and there was a lot of really gorgeous pieces. Most of them were done in oils on canvas. How the crap do things like that last this long? I went to class and took my final.. I had it done pretty quick, but I went over it three times before I turned it in and I was still the first one done. SO either I knew the material pretty well, or I just thought I knew the answers and I didn't. I'm hoping for the first option listed. After I went to the Gateway then to temple square and around the visitors center and then to the Conference Center for a tour. Wow, its really pretty there! And then I went and listened to the choir and they sounded so good even in practice! Eventually I made it home. Nothing really else happened this week. Except for Saturday I was dumb enough to work a 12 and 1/2 hour shift.. I hurt so bad today. Wow, my back was trashed. Today I got to help in the nursery again. Those kids are just so so so cute! There is this little shy boy named Luke and he is such a cutie! He would kick a ball around till I said "Wow Luke, yo kick the ball really good!" And then he'd smile and look at me and then keep kicking it around. At the end of class he brought my shoes over to me so I could put them on. It was cute. A girl names Shaylea was running around in my shoes earlier and she came up to me and said, "look how good your shoes fit me!" and Rylin gave me a dandelion. And lets see.. Kambria liked to hold my hand when we were walking around outside and Preston was running around singing the Star Wars theme song. I asked him if it was Star Wars and he said "Yeah! I have that show and it is so good!" and Conner has the best dinosaur impression to scare the girls. They are all so cute and have so much energy! We got the balls out to play with and wow, they were all running around as fast as their little legs could carry them. Anyways. I like the nursery. The boys are really into the Olympics so that's what has been on all day long. We're having fun with it though. Well, love you all!

- I can't stand it when Syd leaves her hair in the bathtub drain or in her brush. Or squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube. Even though she has a different hairbrush than I do, I still can't stand it to see all her hair wadded up in it. GROSS!

- I don't like a couple foods some people can't live without.. like.. Potato chips. Root Beer. Licorice. Carrots. Almond Joys. Oatmeal.

- When I talk I say potato with a "B" on accident so it sounds like botato. And my mom makes fun of me.

- I have to check the shower every single time I go into the bathroom and shut the door. To make sure someone isn't in there, like Sydney trying to scare me or something.

-I have to wear a belt with my jeans no matter what. It doesn't matter if they are a bit big or a bit tight, I ALWAYS have to have a belt. ALWAYS.

-I'm a sleep-holic. I love sleeping. It doesn't matter if I'm tired or not, I LOVE sleeping!! I could sleep all day! Especially Sundays. The day of REST :) I'm a night person and I like sleeping late in the morning and my mom says "I'm sleeping my life away" :)
