superbowl saturday

The Superbowl is tomorrow {GO CARDINALS!} so Macey's had a ton of samples and games for our devoted shoppers. I was in charge of sampling dips and let me tell you what- people double dip! Sick. It's not the little kids you have to worry about, it's the old folks. Don't worry, whenever it happened I threw the dip away. Oh, and I was freezing at work, so I went to the front to get a Macey's jacket and they handed me one that was covered in hair and a size XXL. I thought I was gonna catch the Herp from it, so I just wore my Nebraska sweatshirt. Catching the Herp would really put a damper on my weekend.

best compliment. ever.

Today, in my communications class, we talked about heroes {superheroes, not the show with my hott celeb crush Milo Venti-something}. I said my hero growing up was Alex Mac. She was awesome. The girl in front of me turned around and said "you look just like her." Honestly I could have cried I was so honored.

I can't get enough...

fundamental rules of basic math

I love gofugyourself. seriously, it brings so much joy me each day. I especially loved this comment from them today in discussing Jess Simpson's high waisted jeans.

"See, this is why I always vote for flattering jeans. Forgiving pants = more sandwiches and far less agita from people squawking about the remainder of your minor holiday weight gain. Also, more sandwiches = much greater happiness. It's like one of the fundamental rules of basic math."

no one told you it was no pants week?

Top 10 reasons this weekend was fresh:

1. Tripple Feature Friday with the rommates {I loooove "The Wedding Date"}

2. Ice cream and The Office with Blaine....Bears.Beets.Battlestar Galactica.

3. Wedding dress shopping with some sweet kids.

4. Chick-Fil-A after wedding dress shopping.

5. I got my bangs trimmed...don't worry I didn't do them myself. I just got shivers thinkin of that awful cut.

6. Passed out flyers for FHE tomorrow while toning my glutes {I went up and down about 324534646 flights of stairs}.

7. Made amazing cookies with Em

8. Watched Hairspray..."I wish everyday was Negro Day!"

9. Celebrated no pants day with Ryan's apartment.

10. Didn't have to work at all! ahhhh. love it.

uhh nevermind.

So today in Relief Society...I feel like a mom when I say that...but anyways, today in Relief Society we talked about living a life of simplicity. The teacher asked, "what do you do to relax when life gets insanely hectic?" I raised my hand so I could discuss the healing powers of Chick-Fil-A {seriously, it's magical...ask my mom} but another girl answered first and talked about how she goes to the temple to clear her mind and recharge her battery. Well after that resoponse, I just put my hand down. Chick-Fil-A can't compete with that.

barf. barf. double barf.

gotta love the veils.
everyone wanted one.
Stacey and I went to find some cute dressese and this is what we found when we returned. That Em is so stinkin adorable.

daaaaaaaaang. homegirl looks fly.

Today, me, Stacy, Amy, and Ashley went wedding dress shopping with Em. OMG it felt so surreal. I cannot believe lil em is getting married {May 1st, save the date}. K, let me tell you what. There are some horrendous wedding dresses out there...I mean really really sick ones. Em found some super cute ones though and she looked slammin in them. Seriously, she rocked them. I'm so excited for her wedding!

love it.

There's nothin I love more than some communicatin. I love my communications class soooo much. My teacher is uber theatrical, we start each class with breathing exercises, and we discuss real world events and situations. Today in class we dicussed gender vs. sex and how that affects our communication with each other. When boys talk, they want an answer. When girls talk we just want someone to bounce our thoughts off of. After we cleared that up, we all talked about problems we've had communicating with the opposite sex and how we can make improvements. I honestly love this class.

i'm all about a 3 day weekend

we practice the hammy look religiously...and we still can't do it justice
no Ryno, you're #1
nathan, em, me, and my new bff cam

cuuute eh?

Thanks Martin Luther King Jr. for giving us a Monday off from school. Seriously, it's awesome. This weekend was fantastic! I worked, hung out with my work peeps, worked out, and hung out with em and ryan. I love love love living so close to Em. She is always there to talk to and gives great advice. On Friday night, I drove Em to where Ryno was and on the way there his ipod was playin one of his playlists. I'm not so into Dave Mathews, so I changed it to Kelly Clarkson...which resulted in Em yelling at me and forcing me to find the playlist again. Lesson learned-DO NOT CHANGE RYAN'S PLAYLIST. Good times.

On Sunday, while Em was cooking dinner {which was amazing} and I was baking cookies {which were insanely delish} we started singing "All My Single Ladies" by Beyonce {it's my jam at the moment...hollaaaa} and Em was making fun of her new name, Sasha Fierce {ask Em to pronounce it...haha}. I totally started defending her like we were bff's or something. I guess I feel a strong connection to B.

birthday shout out!

Happy Birthday to the greatest mom ever!

look who's gettin married....

WOO HOO!!! I'm so amped Ryno's gonna be part of our family!!!

happy birthday beezy

I hope your day is filled with yummy cake, ice cream, and a cozy burgundy snuggie. I love you sooo much.

a renewed outlook...

Last night, I read this whole book {all 58 pages} and it was incredible. I haven't faced too miuch adversity in my life, but it made me realize that no matter what happens in life {breakups, heartaches, trials, accidents} I have a loving Heavenly Father who will be there no matter what to give my strength and help keep me going. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here on earth-to face adversity in order to learn and grow. If you're lookin for a good read, pick up this book.

me dearest snuggie...

you bring me such joy. Everytime I see your amazing commercial, my day gets a lil brighter. Why, just the other day I was trying to type and keep my blanket on {it's very difficult} and I thought of you. We will be together one day lil Snuggie.

this is what we do on sunday nights

em lookin all ador.

the hard evidence.
Take pictures in front of inapropriate marquies. Those Provo hooligans totally made our night.

im currently loving...

* on the spot cream...I put some on my planet sized pimple last night and this morning it was barely noticable

* Michael Khors leopard flats....these bad dads are comfy and uber sassy. It's love.

* Roomates... they remind me a lil of Mean Girls but they're super supportive.

* Urban Outfitters' delicious headbands...they are a hippie's dream.

* President Monson's broadcast tonight...amazing. I'm so grateful to have a living prophet on the earth today who cares so much for each and every one of us. What a stud.

HSM3

I saw it...and maybe I was singin and dancin the whole time and maybe I got carded. What's that about?

hugs are soooo last year

We are all about the awkward hand shake in this family.

{and apparently Brynn and I are ghosts}

planes, shuttles, and automobiles

I'm back in Provo. Safe and sound.

the best vacation. ever.

I can't believe Christmas break is coming to an end. It's been the funniest two weeks of my life. I laugh hysterically all the time, but my laugh works overtime when I'm with my whole family. They are amazing...or as Brynn would say, "It's redic how presh we are." I'm sad to leave, but I cant't wait to go back to Provo and get this school year rollin.

Favorite Christmas Break Memories:

*Brynn's language { button-up shirt=but but, precious=presh, pants=panties, etc, etc, etc...}

*jam sessions in the Pilot

*dance party with the neighborhood

*amazing Christmas presents

*Chick-fil-A! {without food poisening

*Mike singing the lip gloss song & Taylor singing Womanizer

*playing Rockband {hearing Mike sing Roxanne was awesome}

*delish homemade meals and desserts....mmMMMmmm

*watching The Office...a lot

im always thinkin one step ahead..like a carpenter..who builds stairs.

The Office + Hanes V-neck + Pink Sweats+ family= lots & lots of laughs

Aint no party like a floyds knobs party...

We rang in 2009 with class: these 2 love birds are seriously ador.
we played Quelf {funniest game everrr}

we partied with sweet tiaras, hats, party favors{that sounded like an elephant was dying}, etc. our poor neighbors.

we bowled some sweet games. ryan is my new nemisis.

Oh 2008, you were a good year. You brought some incredible highs and some self-evaluating lows. I'm incredibly grateful for everything that happened in 2008...one of my favorite years to date {1996 still reigns supreme}. I can't wait to see what 2009 brings!
