My Packed Week!

This last week was insane! It sure had it's ups and downs, but turned out quite grand!

Monday was a hard day. I went to Latter Day Voices to find out that there was a possibility that Brother Salmond might eliminate LDV altogether. I was so sad. It was, for the first time, a horrible class period. I bawled. Amanda and I hung out afterwards, went to Panda, and tried to make the best out of the day! It got better as the day went on though!

Tuesday was awesome! Amanda and I chilled and watched Aladdin! It was the bomb! I hadn't seen that movie in forever. After Amanda left, Carlee and I started texting and one of my besties from home, Carlee, decided to come up and have a sleepover! We got her some Rancherito's when she came up and then put in The Phantom of the Opera and fell asleep to it. Phantom is one of our mutual favorites and I swear we try to watch that just about every time we hang out together, if not at least listen to some music from it. It's awesome.

Wednesday, I went to class and then went to Janis Ian that night with Brenna for our Creative Arts class. We ended up having to leave early, so we went to Walmart to grab some groceries and then bought ourselves a treat at Sub Zero ice cream! I'd never been there. It was fun to watch them make the ice cream!

I got a lot done on Thursday. I got my laundry done, cleaned my room, worked on an English essay and studied for Economics. Christy came with me to Latter Day Voices! I was so excited! I love it when she comes with me! After LDV, a bunch of my friends and I stayed and talked with the missionaries. A few people left and got pizza that we could all share and eat at the Institute. It was so fun! Afterwards, Amanda and I were still hungry and Skot didn't get any pizza, so we went out and I got Spoon Me and Amanda and Skot got Arby's. Then, Skot went to drop us off at the parking garage where Amanda's car was parked and we ran into some other LDV people! We talked and sang in the parking garage for about an hour. We're choir students in a place that echoes, you're bound to end up singing, ha! Amanda drove me home and I put in The Sound of Music and started watching it with a few of my roommates. I fell asleep on the couch during the movie and was woke up by a phone call from Carlee! She said she was heading down to USU again to sleep over again! I was stoked! When she got up here, Carlee and I were too hyper to sleep. Christy still had to do her math, so she was up, and all three of us got talking. Carlee and Christy quickly bonded and all three of us were up talking, laughing and watching movies all night. I was so excited the three of us got along so well! 

Friday, my mom came up to Logan to bring me home to see my sister Marissa in her junior high play Hello Dolly! My mom, Christy, Brenna and Lauren all went to LDV with me before we drove home! I was so excited to show my mom how rehearsal goes and for her to meet some of my friends! That night I saw Marissa's play. It was so good! I loved it! I got to see some of my friends that I hadn't seen in awhile as well, so that was a plus added on to it all as well!

The Fam at Cabela's!

Saturday I slept in from being up all night with Carlee and Christy and then we headed down to Salt Lake. I finally visited by grandparents that I hadn't seen in forever! Afterwards, we went to Cabela's, out to eat, and then Ikea! It was a wonderful day with the family! I had a blast!

I went to my home ward on Sunday with my family and then my mom and my two sisters drove me back up to Logan! I had a Fireside to perform in for LDV, so I had to be back pretty early. Christy, my mom, and my sisters ended up all coming and got to meet a lot of my LDV friends! After the fireside, I had some of my LDV friends over and we played games and visited. I had a blast :) They went home about 11:00 and then Christy and I had a really nice conversation. We were up late, but it was definitely worth it :)

Busy Week Back!

Monday, I went to Latter Day Voices and realized how much I missed it over the break. It was so good being back with everyone :) That night, Amanda and I got together and ended up meeting with some LDV friends and having Chili's for Katie's birthday. We sang the LDV version of "Happy Birthday" there and it was great seeing the reactions from other people at the restaurant! It was fun :)

 Ryan Wight, Brent Homer and me :)

 Taylor Miles and me :)

Wyatt, the birthday boy, and me! :D 

On Tuesday, I felt like a little kid ALL day! My mom came up to Logan and took my roommate, Christy, and I shopping for a bit and to lunch! It was so fun! Afterwards, Christy and I grabbed some chairs, sat outside and colored! That night, Amanda came over and we made t-shirts for St. Patrick's Day. After that, we went to Wyatt's birthday party where the cops got called, twice! Don't worry, we weren't doing anything crazy. They just have some neighbors that can't stand a little chatter from above. We didn't even have music going and we whisper sung "Happy Birthday". The cop was really nice and understood. It was quite the adventure!

Wednesday, I went to Amanda's and chilled. We went to Walmart and I watched her make a cheesecake. Ha! It was a relaxing day.

Amanda and I in our shirts we made! I'm blinking, but it shows the shirt!

 Lauren, Me, Christy and Brenna at the 20,000 Bouncy Ball Drop!

Shaun and I excited over the one bouncy ball I got out of 20,000. Ha ha :)

Thursday was St. Patrick's Day! I got to wear my shirt all day! It was great :) After classes, I went to the Museum for Creative Arts, then rounded up my roommates and headed down to the Stadium Parking Lot to watch an awesome physics experiment where they dropped 20,000 bouncy balls out of a helicopter over 100 feet in the air! USU broke a world record! What other school does school stuff like that but Utah State? Seriously! I had LDV at 6:00 until 8:00 and then went home. After the guys got done with their extra practice, Brian and Skot picked Christy and I up from the apartment and we met Daniel and Olivia at Wendy's for Frosty's. After we ate Frosty's, Skot, Christy, and I went to Skot's place and watched Inception. It was a great night!

 The warning it gives you before you start playing. This gave me a good laugh!

 Do you see that pin stuck to the wall in the back? That was Amanda's doing. HA!

Bowling shoes! YAY!!!!

On Friday, Christy came with me to Latter Day Voices! I love it when she comes with me! Afterwards, Amanda and I went on a walk down by the Logan Temple. It was so pretty and nice outside! After our walk, we went over to Skot's apartment and ended up chilling with him the rest of the night. I met one of Amanda and Skot's mutual friends named Ryan. The four of us went to Logan Lanes and bowled! It was so fun! I did horrible though.... I definitely need to brush up on my skills!

Saturday, I had early morning rehearsal for LDV, so I woke up at seven and sang. Afterwards, Amanda and I went on another walk and then went to I-HOP for breakfast/lunch. I came home and basically slept until I needed to get up and get ready for the Stake Conference LDV was performing in. When I woke up, my roommate, Taylor, showed me this amazing video of this song from the Phantom sequel. It's called "'Til I Hear You Sing" from Love Never Dies. Ahh.... this man. He's so attractive! He has an AMAZING voice AND he's incredibly good looking.  It's a great song. The YouTube video is below. After the performance, Skylar, Brian, Amanda, Olivia and I went to Wendy's to grab dinner because I was starving. Then Ryan Wight joined us and we watched Mrs. Doubtfire at my apartment! Great show.

I can't wait to start another crazy week! Time flies SOOOO fast! It's nuts! But life is good!!!!

My Wonderful Week Off!!

Pa ha! SPRING Break? I think not!! It SNOWED. I think we should call it Winter break, because the break over Christmas should just be called Christmas Break. Ha ha ha :) But Spring redeemed itself on Thursday, the weather was in the upper 60's! So refreshing! It just had to tease me a little.... It's all good. ;)

Monday was fun! I woke up and went shopping with my mom and family friend, Janet Green. We had a blast! We went to Riverdale to get some stuff done and we couldn't get done what we originally went up there to get done! ha ha ha :) But we still had a blast! We got lunch at Chick-Fil-A and visited.

Tuesday, I slept in, got a shower, and went down to Kelani Maughan's house to get my hair cut. MAN, that was so refreshing! I needed it BAD. We ran some errands and had dinner, and then I chatted with Ciara Henrie on the phone for awhile. After we talked, I watched Red and then fell asleep to Princess Diaries. It was a good day :)

Wednesday was a BLAST!!! I got to visit with my friend Brandee Stokes! She's engaged and I'm super excited for her. I got to look at some wedding stuff for her and we got to catch up on life. Afterwards, I helped my sister with a Spanish project and filmed her and her friends. That was funny :) Then I was invited to come to Young Women's with my home ward! It was so fun! We did facials and learned how to better take care of your skin! Afterwards, three of my previous leaders and I went to Chili's to chat and catch up on life over amazing food. Wow, I TOTALLY over-ate! We had chips and salsa and molten chocolate cake. Man... it was so chocolately.... It was THEE best! By the time I was finished I was ready to sit down and be the laziest bum! It was so GOOD!!! Then I got news that another one of my friends is getting married! Holy moly! All these girls MY AGE getting married... It's crazy business!

Thursday I got up and chilled around the house, got ready, and applied for some summer jobs in Pleasant View. On my way home, the Service Engine Soon light came on in the truck and I couldn't find my phone. HA! Luckily I found my phone and made it home safe. Then I went and visited James Marriott! LOVE that boy :) I was so excited to see him! He's one of my besties! We caught up and watched a little of Princess and the Frog.

Carlee and me :)

After James and I chilled, Carlee Jenkins came and picked me up from his house! I was SO EXCITED to see her! I haven't been able to hang out with her since September! I saw her for maybe twenty minutes over Christmas break but we weren't able to get together. She helped me chemically straighten my hair. Man, was that ever entertaining! I'm glad I had her help me. She had me laughing through the entire thing! I have NEVER done anything that drastic to my hair. Never had to perm it because it's so curly, never dyed it because I love my natural color. I'm glad I did it because it's a lot easier to manage now. It didn't go all the way straight, but I can use the product again in three months and get it to go straighter. I'm super stoked! Yay for an easy summer hairdo! The only downside is that now my hair smells like I got a perm, but oh well! The price for beauty... ha ha!

Friday was great! I slept in and then my mom and I went shopping! We went all over Riverdale shopping. I watched a little bit of Matlock and also got to visit my grandparents! It was a great day :)

Todd, me and then Daniel in the back

Amanda and me :)

Daniel (making a face, as always) and me

Saturday, I got up and packed and my family and I went up to Logan. We dropped all my stuff off at my apartment and then grabbed some groceries and things I needed. When they left, Amanda and I got together, had dinner and then waited for the guests to arrive at the party we'd been planning all week. It was so fun! We had a great turn out. We watched movies and visited. I loved it! Pictures from the party are above!

Today, I'm having a few people over for dinner. I'm very excited! It should be good, I used my mom's recipe for Chicken Fiesta. I've been craving it so if no one else likes it, I guess that means more for me right? ;) ha ha HA HA!!

It's Spring Break!!! :)

This week has been wonderful! Despite it being busy with homework and a few little road bumps, I was able to fit a lot of fun in as well! Yes, I may have lacked some sleep.... but hey! Life of a college student, right? :)

Monday, I had Family Home Evening! We went to the Bishop's house and visited and ate. It was nice to get off campus for awhile :)

Tuesday was a riot! I didn't have anything planned except to study for my Biology exam, and was invited to a movie night at Skylar's house! I studied Biology for a few hours, grabbed some dinner, and went over. We watched Footloose and then played Baby, I Love You, But I Just Can't Smile and Curses! What a great combination! Two of the best games for a group! I was laughing so hard I was crying!! Dear Olivia took some video and I really want to watch it and get a copy of it. It was a legendary night!

Wednesday, I studied some more for my Biology exam and Amanda came over. We chilled for the greater part of the day :) We went to Walmart and walked around for awhile and then we went to Village Inn for some dinner. It was a relaxing girls night out!

Thursday, I took my Biology exam! I was SOOO glad to have that over with! Thursday didn't start out being the best day, but it sure ended well with Latter Day Voices rehearsal and friends over for dinner and movies! We watched three movies in a row that night! Land Before Time, Land Before Time II, and Lion King. My good friend, Daniel, showed me that at the beginning of Lion King in the song The Circle of Life, it sounds like it's saying "Pink pajama, pink pajama bottoms." I will NEVER watch that movie the same way again. Ha!! Now, in consequence, I have the song ingrained in my head now for days! Ha ha ha!!! At about 30 seconds into the movie is when it starts the "Pink pajama, pink pajama bottoms" thing. It's great!!!

Friday, I took my Economics quiz, did some Biology homework, and then got ready and went to my first Aggie Gymnastics Meet! Amanda was asked to sing the national anthem that night, so I went to see her sing and discovered that I LOVE gymnastics meets! We need to make this a bigger thing! It's so COOL!!! I want to go to as many as I can! Those girls are very talented! I think my favorite is the floor. After the meet, Amanda and I jumped in the car and went to Olivia's for a movie night! We watched what I believe is called Baptists At A Barbecue and The Sound of Music. :) Baptists At A Barbeque was HILARIOUS!! We paused it in the ending credits and got an extra laugh at the end as well! The Sound of Music was fun too, considering I was with my choir friends and we all sang to the songs and harmonized! Ah, how I love choir people!!

Amanda, Brenna and me at the Gymnastics Meet!

Today, Saturday, I slept in and packed. My family came to pick me up and we went shopping and came home. We ate and watched Lion King! It was a pretty fun day :) I'm looking forward to this next week! Sleeping in with no school and hardly any homework to worry about! Happiness and CHEER!!!
