Heating and cooling, and stereo system. Also, my emergency water, Mountain Dew and gum. (Britt are you so proud of me! I even have a hoody in the back seat. I am starting my 72 hour kit. Its getting there.) Steering wheel

Do you like how the paper is in its little blue bag on the ground, HAHA!


So all you Medskers out there (and anyone else who wants to play), who sings the song?! Its quiz time! No using the Internet, you just have to know off the top of your head! Next blog post I will post who sings the song, hooray!

My life has basically consisted of work lately. And making cookies! And hanging out with Mike! At work I have a lot of fun usually. I have saran wrapped my bosses office twice and "BYU-ed" it once (blue streamers and a sign). And I get away with it. Its great. I really enjoy working at the front desk a lot. Sometimes its a little stressful, but for the most part its really fun. There is a bagger named Garrett, and he is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! He is autistic and he is just he cutest ever. Yesterday I was singing the Subway "5, $5, $5 footlong!" song and he sang it with me. He is so fun. He was standing up at the desk and I had just pulled off the last piece of tape off the role and I said "Garrett do you want the last piece of tape from the roll?" And he said "uh.. sure." So I gave it to him and about 10 minutes later I said "Garrett, can you go get some carts outside please?" And he said "Yeah, but what do you want to do with this piece of tape?" He still had it! Haha! It was so cute, I told him he could throw it away. He is so fun. One day he did his hair combed to the side so Lindsey (my friend) and I both told him his hair looked nice and he smiled so big and just lit up. SO cute. The other day my friend Justin and I filled an office in the back full of crates, and during the night a stack of them fell in front of the door and the people who came in the morning had to go through the light in the ceiling and get the crates out that way.. I love my job. Most the time. I am not sure what else to write, so this will be the end of my post. Love you all!

I have spring fever so badly! I cannot wait until it is nice and warm and I can go outside!! Mike will start softball in the summer and I am excited for that so I can go watch him play some games sometimes in his nice little softball or baseball pants whoo whoo!! It will be so nice when its warm and I can start running again!

CAR!

Okay everyone, I am sorry I am such a slacker!! I will try to blog more. I was going to post pics with this blog of my car, but I decided then it might never get done, so I will post the pics whenever I take them. I will just write the post right now. So the weekend before last, my dad and I took off Saturday morning and headed out... CAR SHOPPING! I had a car I wanted to check out in Centerville. So we headed to the place where the car was at, and I looked at some other cars and also that one. It was a really pretty color, but it had said it was an automatic on the Internet and it was a manual. Not that I have anything against manuals, I just don't want one. LOL. So we thank the guy for letting us test drive some of his cars and leave. We start heading northward and hit a couple other lots and just kind of look quickly. Then we go to Murdock Chevrolet, and we walked in the doors and can you say BEAUTIFUL CORVETTE?! Now can you say FOUR? Oh man, I was drooling all over those little babies. So we walk in and the general manager, Mike, comes up and shakes our hands and says hello. He hooks us up with a guy named Tommy who asks what kind of car I am looking at. I say I want to get a Chevy Cobalt, so he pulls out a nice one that was on the lot. Totally tricked out with the sound system, XM raido, new wheels, everything. So I took it for a drive and I really liked it! So we went in to talk prices and apparently he had mixed up the numbers of this car with those of another one, so the car leaped like 3,ooo in price. I was pretty upset. So he brings over his sale manager, and we talk to him. His name was Trent. He asked us what price range we were looking at and we told him, and we said even if it was like a couple hundred more we could work with that, and he went back and looked at his inventory and brought out the names of two cars. One was a Hyundai Elantra, and I didn't want that. And the other was a Chevy Malibu. And I was like.. well lets look at the Mailbu. So Tommy pulls it around and it was a gorgeous sage green color. So we look at it and I take it for a spin. And I liked it more than the Cobalt! It was a bit bigger, so it was more roomy and I just liked it more. Not totally tricked out like the Cobalt, but it still had a nice stereo and gas mileage and stuff. So we go back in, and we start talking prices with Trent. And the price he got it down to was like 700 more than what we had told him. And so my dad got really mad and they were kind of arguing, and my dad says he wants to speak to the general manager. So Mike comes over and my dad is explaining his frustrations to him, which are valid, and I was frustrated too and I just didn't want a car anymore. So Mike goes back and says okay this is what we can get you the car for and my dad was like "Okay I said a couple hundred, you guys keep showing us cars and then raising the price like this, etc etc" and Mike said "What is a couple hundred to you? is 200 a couple hundred?" And my dad says yes and so they work it out and I feel like crying because I hate people fighting and I end up getting the car and 3 free oil changes and he offered to fill up our suburban. That is my car story.
Last weekend, I went to Mike's.. in my CAR :) :) and we went to the Draper Temple Open house, and it was SO GORGEOUS! Wow, it was so pretty wow wow wow! It was so pretty and the feeling was jsut amazing. After that we went out to eat at Johnny Carino's and that was some excellent Italian food. We also went to Circuit City then we went back to his place and watched some "How I Met Your Mother" and then we ate dinner and took his two nephews and his niece swimming. That was so fun! They are all so cute, and they like me more than Mike. LOL. They are really fun kids. This week Mike and I are going to the Logan temple probably to do baptisms, so that will be fun. After that I hope it is good weather for a hike or some rock climbing.
A lot of you have been wanting to see a pic of Mike.. so here is a pic!

This past week.

Hello all! This past week has been pretty fun! It started off with getting a promotion at work! Whoo hoo!! I am now a front desk manager, so if you come into Lee's, look to the front desk, because I might just be there working! I'm still training and I hope I do okay! As for the car issue, I am looking at a Cobalt right now that I like. We will see what happens with that. Basically all I do with my life is work now. I work full time, so I usually sleep in, get up, lounge, get ready and head to work . Fridays are usually my day to hang out with my cute boyfriend!! This past Friday he came over and I made spaghetti, I thought it was pretty good. Mike told me a couple times throughout our day that it was really good, so I am guessing he liked it as well. LOL. After lunch we watched The Office.. ITS BACK ON FOR THE YEAR!! Whoo hoo!! I am so excited its back on! After The Office we headed out to the Megaplex for a movie. He made me decide and I chose Mall Cop. Good choice on my part! It was so funny! After that we were in a mall mood so we went to the Newgate for a while. Then we picked up a Little Cesar's pizza and headed to my place for some DDR and to watch Night at the Museum. And that was our day! He is so great! Today at church I got to teach the Sunbeams!! They are all so cute. It was really fun. My mom and I went in and she did the crowd control while I taught about Heavenly Father having a body. We played follow the leader around the church (reverently!) to illustrate what we could do with our bodies and the Heavenly Father can do that stuff too. We also drew pictures of our bodies. I drew a little stick figure of me, but I put blue hair on me. I held it up and said "Does this look like me?" And they all said it looked like me. A boy in our class named Timothy got up and kept telling me pretty excitedly that "that looks JUST like you!!!" It was so funny. When we were walking down the hall playing follow the leader the little girl in the class named Brooklyn walked straight into a wall! She was okay, but a few minutes later when we were walking back I heard one of the kids say "I won't bonk into a wall. Nope, I won't bonk into a wall like her." LOL!! They are so funny! I think one of my favorite parts was when I was teaching and the bishop's son, Preston, stood up and came up to me and said "I have to tell you something" and I said "What do you need to tell me?" And he said "You have sandals just like Jesus wears." It was so funny! I had to try not to laugh, but then I realized that I had brown sandals on and they had straps going over my feet, and in the pictures of Jesus he does have brown sandals on. How observant! After church we went up to my grandmas, and I don't know why, but everyone thinks I'm going to get married or engaged soon. Just so you all know, I will tell you this one more time. It won't happen for a while. So no need to be crossing your fingers. Anyways, this week should be a good one. Just full of work and more work!! Love you all!

Car...

As many of you know, I am thinking about getting a car in the very next soon while. The only dilemma is.... what kind of car?! I really would like a Jeep Liberty. I want one of those really bad. The other car I am possibly looking at is a Honda Civic, and from the deals I have found they would cost about the same to get. Gas mileage is a little worse on the Jeep, but.. the Honda is definitely not as cool! Keep in mind a Honda Civic does not fit my rock climbing crazy outdoors personality. My mom thinks I should get a nice little car, because it is more economically friendly, and I don't need a bigger car right now, plus as I said before, gas mileage is better.... but I REALLY WANT A JEEP LIBERTY REALLY BAD! I think I would just look better in one and I would enjoy it a lot more than little car. So... if anyone wants to chip in their opinion, that would be GREAT!!! Love you all!

A LONG TIME!

It has been such a long times since I last blogged! I apologize to all you avid Emily's blog readers out there, you must have been dying without my posts to entertain you! Just so you all know, I am now currently residing in Ogden again and working at Lee's just livin' the dream. Now I am back living with parents and that has been quite the adjustment in itself. Christmas was really great!! We had a lot of fun, my brothers and dad got automatic NERF guns from Santa and they love to terrorize everything that moves. There is still snow here and I hate it, like every other winter. Today my family and I went to Infinia (the old folks home) and we got to do the sacrament program for them. I gave a talk on loving one another and my dad gave a talk and then all the Medsker kids sang a song. My mom played the piano and she did such a great job. She is really good at playing "Music Box Dancer" which is my personal favorite piano piece and she loves playing it for me. Actually, she only plays it every once in a while. So I had to go buy it on iTunes, my first piece of classical music bought on iTunes, woah! And possibly my only piece as well.

A glimpse of what just happened in the Medsker household:
Syd: Dad your so cute.
Mom: I tried telling you that at church today. I said whoo whoo, holy hubba!
Dad: You said holy hubba?

Yesterday Syd and I went and saw Bride Wars. It was pretty funny. It kind of reminded me of How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days, where Kate Hudson is driving me absolutely nuts because she is being so crazy but you still have to love the movie. Kate Hudson was in this one and so was Anne Hathaway, and I really like both of those actresses. They go after each others weddings and it is hilarious, but drives me a little crazy at the same time. At the end Syd and I were both crying, not full on bawling, but we were crying a bit. It was good. Today in church I led the music in Relief Society. That was fun. On Friday Mike came up :)... we are still together and dating. He makes me so happy!! He came up and we went to the temple and did baptisms, then to Gandolfo's, oh man, he has me addicted to that place now, those sandwiches are SO GOOD. Then back home for Oceans 11. We had fun just hanging out all day. My brothers were all excited that Mike was coming over, its pretty funny. It has simply been too long since I have blogged so I can't remember everything I wanted to say. So hopefully I will have some witty comments next week.

Christmas Tag

I was this on Britt's blog and I wanted to do it.. so here it is!

a. Egg- Nog or Hot Chocolate?HOT CHOCOLATE!!! It depends on the time of the day! If its anytime during the day its eggnog usually, but if its at night I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE!

b. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? He wraps most of them and then puts them by our stockings that are set out on the furniture.

c. Colored or clear lights (house/tree)? I like the white lights! Or clear.. whatever. I think they are so pretty. But on Temple Square I really like how they have different colors everywhere.

d. Do you hang mistletoe? No, but that might be fun to do.

e. Hardest person to buy for? Hmm. I think this year it was Mike. (Not my dad, my boyfriend. LOL)

f. Real tree or Artificial? REAL!! They smell so GOOD and they are so big (at least when we would get one). But now we have to have a fake tree because Joshua is allergic.

g. Mail or email Christmas cards? MAIL!!! MAIL MAIL MAIL MAIL MAIL!!!

h. Favorite Christmas Movie? Polar Express! And Elf.

i. When do you start shopping for Christmas? After Thanksgiving usually

j. Favorite Christmas song? Pachelbel meets U2. I have a lot of favorites but I can't remember them all. I don't like the Christmas Shoes one though, its so sad, I get teared up every time I hear it and I don't like crying because once I start crying I cry for a long time.

k. Open presents Christmas Eve or morning? Last year we opened one on Christmas Eve and it was pajamas! But I have no idea what is happening this year.

l. What do you want for Christmas this year? Shaky. Other than that.. nothing. I keep getting asked what I want and I really have no clue what I want. I am just excited to see all my family and be together and have everyone so happy.

Lost!..

Well, this week has been going pretty slow because Mike is in Oregon. I don't get to see him this weekend, so there is really nothing to look forward to. Classes ended this week, so thats nice. I am looking forward to selling my books back!!! Whoo, that will be my most favorite thing ever. The other day I went rock climbing up Rock Canyon with my rock climbing buddy named Sean. Yesterday Hope and I got lost. We spent almost 2 hours trying to find an America First. Here is the story:
I needed to go to the bank, and Hope said she would give me a ride there (oh the joys of not having a car). Well, I looked up the address and it said it was in Macey's and it was on 1400 N State Street. So we are about to leave and I show the address to Megan. And she said "oh that is right by University Mall!" and Hope and I are like "Really?" So we leave and we head over to by the mall. And We go in the MACY'S, (the department store) and we go in and we are like "WHAAAAA??" so we kinda walk around, just making sure there wasn't an America First there. Well, we go to the car and we see State Street. So, we start heading north on it.. to 1400 N right? Well we pass a MACEY'S on the way there. We reach 1400 N.. nothing! So we go back to the Macey's.. nothing! So I call my dad, because he knows literally everything. Well, too bad he didn't pick up. I leave a message saying we need directions. So I call my mom! She gives me the directions we needed, and it turned out to be the place we would have initially gone if Megan hadn't told us the other place, haha!!! So it took us almost 2 hours to fin the right place and get back home! The place that really had America First was maybe like a 3 or 4 minute drive from our apartment. Mmmhmm. Tonight was the ward Christmas party and it was really fun. We had a good time. Well, now we are going to watch Elf. So I will write more later!!

Dreads..

The back of my hair, before we took the rubber bands out.

This picture is called.. I amd DREADING what my parents might say.

Am I really cool enough to sport these?! I think so.

The tangled top
I accidentally put this pic up twice. But this time my face is saying.. GAHH!!!

I did dreads in my hair. I've wanted to do it for forever.. and all those times that I teased my mom about doing it.. well, we did it. And yes, I can wash my hair.

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

The GOOD- Well, lets start with Thanksgiving Break part 2! On Thursday (Thanksgiving!) Mike came up and spent Thanksgiving with my family and I! It was the greatest. He likes my family and my family likes him! So no hatred problems there. That is probably my best Thanksgiving ever. He is so great. After the big feast we went to Grandma Medsker's after a little while, and we played some cards. After grandmas we went home and watched a movie, we watched Just Like Heaven cuz Syd wanted to. Mike is such a good sport, watching chick flicks and everything! He is a cutie, just really awesome. Friday was family time day, and I hung out with my family all day. That was really fun. Saturday Mike came up again and he helped put up our Christmas lights outside and hung out with me and the family all day again. He must really like me, because there have been a few moments with my family where I really thought he might just break up with me and never tlak to me again. LOL. We had stir fry that night and it was SO good! We watched some football and ended up watching Spiderman 3. Have I mentioned Mike is totally the best ever?! Sunday I went to church and that was great, and after I went up to G&G Medsker's, they were watching the Emma Smith movie, and that was a tear jerker. After that my family came up and we played Philadelphia but I had to leave in the middle because I had to go home and pack. After a tearful goodbye I headed home with Aimee where she helped me pack. Jaime came and picked me up around 5. Him and Christian and I headed to SLC where Jaime had a practice at the tabernacle there. We went to his practice. Well, Christian and I got a little bored, and Jaime's car was parked under the Conference Center so we decided to go back and I would play guitar and Christian would sleep.

THE BAD- We got to the car, opened the door. And no guitar. Also.. 2 laptops missing and a bookbag full of schoolbooks. OUCH! There goes our good night! I called home and asked what I should do, my dad said to call the police. Christian txt Jaime and told him, I called 911 and they said they would have an officer call me. Jaime showed up with a Guest Services guy who called church security. The sad thing is when we got out of the car I said "Should we lock the doors?" and Jaime said no and so we just went. It was a little odd, the 2 laptops, the bookbag, and the guitar was taken. But my Ipod was left and so was Jaime's stereo system that isn't set up and is just chilling in the back of the car. The trunk was also forced open, and nothing was touched that was in the trunk. It was a little weird. We were all pretty ticked. Church security came and took down notes and Jaime's number. We left and the cop called me. So I was on the phone with him and The smart boys up front got us lost LOL. So we finally found our way to the freeway, and we had to go to the airport. And I am thinking "WHAAAA?! I WANNA GO HOME!!" Well, we finally get to the airport, take the shuttle, pick up Roman, and then start heading back. I decided a chocolate shake and a roast beef sandwich from Arby's might make me feel better. So. We get to Provo, go to the closest Arby's and its closed. (BTW, it was after 12 so it was Monday morning not Sunday night.. I made sure of that Bishop!) I made some statement about "drowning myself in my cereal bowl" or something like that. It was a legit bad night. I finally get to my apartment at 1:10! AGHHH... So I go in and start unpacking. I ate some Ramen and decided I was really tired and I would just take a little rest. So I get on the couch with my blanket and pillow.

THE UGLY- Yeah, nice little rest til 10 AM! I missed my first 2 classes. Well, on my way out the door I remembered I needed my keys, so I turned around really fast just as the door shut. Well, I didn't have time to get it unlocked now so I figured I would do it after school. So I go to my class and before class starts I check my Facebook, and my roomie is on! And she usually gets home around the same time as me, except for when she has homework and stays later at the library. So I Facebook message her and we talk about Thanksgiving for a minute. Then I IM and ask her when she is going to be home. No response. So I said I locked my keys in the apartment. No response. A few minutes later she signs off. Sigh.Well, I start walking home and her Facebook status said something about leaving her phone at her apartment. And I think "well, I will txt her and if I get a txt back then she is home and I don't have to go rent out a key" So I don't get a txt back and so I go rent a key. But I guess she was at the apartment. So I go return the key. I go back to my apartment and turn my music and am jamming. And my roomie calls. And I answer my phone and she asks me to take her tripod to her. She was on campus. Campus is a half hour walk from my house. Sigh. I just said I would take it to her. Hooray for exercise. That is about it for my adventures so far. I love you all!

Thanksgiving Break.. Part 1!

Well, I will start with this weekend. Friday Mike and I went rock climbing and had fun hanging out and eating at Gandolfo's and going to the mall and eating at an Italian place and watching sports. On Saturday I went to Mike's and we hung out. Caught some of the BYU vs Utah game and some of the Texas Tech and Oklahoma one. It was fun hanging out with him and his fam. The greatest was when KoriAnn and Ben showed up, oh boy. LOL, that was just funny. Just to clear things up for you all, yes Mike is coming for Thanksgiving. So please be nice to him.. We will see how much he really likes me if he calls me after Thanksgiving. I am hoping he will. Its been a nice relaxing week, I haven't had anything to do. Yesterday I went rock climbing and didn't really do anything impressive, I just did some crack climbs and got almost all the way up a V2. Last night Lauren and Kirsten and I had a nice sleepover on the couches, we borrowed a couch from our neighbors and so it was just like a huge couch land and we put them together and had a great sleepover of couches and blankets. We finally got off the couch at like 2 and decided we all needed to get ready. It was great. I am excited to be back to Ogden, I hope there is one day of warm weather, I want to go rock climbing on 9th before the snow and everything sets in. All my roomies are gone except Hope and she is packing right now. So I will be all alone :( but I will be in Ogden tomorrow afternoon! Whoo!
