Top 11 of 2011

Here is my list of things that have happened to me and people that have made my life great this past year......
1. My Patriachal blessing- on Febuary 8 I finally got it!!!! I was really struggling not know what was going to happen, if I was going to finish school or what to do with the rest of my life. I after I got my Patriachal blessing all my worries seemed to disappear because it was then that I knew what I was do was right.
2. Mission call- On August 3 I got my mission call!!! I was so excited that if finally came after wanting it for about 8 months. When I was working on my papers and people would ask me where I wanted to go I would say Australia. Looking back I never thought it would actually happen but I am so glad I got to go where I want to go and where the lord needed me.
3. Temple- On September 7 I went to the temple for the first time!! It was an experience that I didn't think I was old enough for. Now that I have been to the temple more it means a lot more than it used to and I love walking out feeling really calm.
4. Next is the people that have made a difference in my life this year......
Tyler- I met him in math class the very first day and we were instant friends. He made a boring math class bearable. If he wasn't wondering if the couple of us were dating or married he was asking me if I wanted some, or gum, or anyother candy that he had.
Laura- I met her at ysa she just moved her from Iowa (I think). One activity we started talking and were basically instant friends. It was great to have her at the activities because I always knew I would have a friend when I went to the activities.
Marti- She is the ysa relief socitey president. She is always very welcoming and I have loved getting to know her.
Mackensie-She was my roommate this year when I lived in Glenwood. She was the one who would come with me really anywhere I wanted.
Paige-She was my roomie too. Paige was the best example to me on how to study. Often times she would lock herself in her room and study for hours.
Amy- She was like the mother of our roommates (she would hate when I would say this). She was always the one who could tell when were having a bad and would try to make it better.
Brittnay-She only lived with us for fall semseter but I sure loved having her there. I would often get woken up by her singing some werid song at like 7:30am. She also lived on cereal and I had a ton of it so when she was gone I actually had to eat my cereal.
Larissa- I shared a room with her and it was great. She never slept talked or kept me up at night but she was always there when I needed her.
Ashley- Well she is my best friend and has helped me through so much.
Mindy- She was a great relief society president and I would be in trouble if I didn't include her
5. Journal- this year my journal has become one of the things I cherish the most. Sometimes I just like to tell my stories and not have anyone there giving me their opinion and for that my journal is great.
6. Ice cream- I loved ice cream before this year but I found the best flavor ever. It was Red Velvet cake ice cream. I discovered this ice cream at Wal-Mart one day and now I am addicted.
7.My blog- it was created this year in January. I was really good at blogging when I was in Logan but now that I am living at home I just don't think about it as much.
8. Best friends wedding- My friend Kaila got married in march in the Odgen Temple. I was so glad that was able to be apart of her day.
9.Twizlberry-This the best frozen yogurt place in logan. They have punch cards and on Tuesday it was double punch day so that was the day that my roommates and I always had to go.
10.Unplugged week- I stayed off Facebook for one whole week this year and it was a hard week it also did me a lot of good. It created more time for my friends and homework which was muchly needed.
11.Pants- I have ripped 4 pairs of pants this year that is a grand total for me. I think I have maybe ripped 2 pairs in my whole life. The lateset pair I ripped was yesterday and I was hopeing those pants would last so I could take them with me on my mission but I guess they had other plans.
Well 2011 was a great year and I am sure next year will be great because I will be in Australia. Well I hope you all have had a great year!!!!!! Have fun!!!

Unlucky days....

It seems to me that ever since I got my mission call I have had some bad luck especially with my car. Well you see it all started a couple weeks after I got my call. I was on my way to a concert with my sister when my car died in bounitful. So we got a tow truck to get me to a Wal-Mart parking lot where my sisters mechanic picked it up to hopefully fix it. The mechanic had it finished the next day, he had replaced the fuel filter and had driven it around and it ran great. So I was off and I missed the entrance to the free-way so I decided drive through odgen and at 23rd street my car started slowing down but I wasn't pushing the break. Luckily I was able to turn left and coast it into the very first open spot. When I stopped my car I just started to cry and then I called my mom, and then a tow truck. While I was waiting for the tow truck I called everyone I knew in odgen and no one answered. But about an hour and a half later the tow truck came to my resuce but before we left odgen the tow truck broke down. I just began to think I am never going to make it home. Finally about 30minutes later the tow truck finally started and I was finally on my way home. By the time I got home I thought my car is a goner but it was just the fuel pump and it took my mechanic 4 days to get it fixed. Lets just say all of that took a big chuck of my mission money. As time past I became more confident in my car, well that was till last week. I was on my way to brigham and I had stopped at Dairy Queen and my car started smoking. I thought my it was going blow up. I cried a little and then called my uncle and he came to resuce and my cousin drove my car back to my house where it smoked some more. Then next day I took it to my mechanic who said it was my radator. So there went some more of my mission money.

Just when you are thinking oh my what else could happen well more has. I got out my christmas tree yesterday and a couple hours later I went to turn the lights on in the bathroom and they came on but quickly shut off. I thought oh great both of the lights went out at the same time but I soon realized that not just the lights went out but I could no longer hear the tv. So I went to the breaker box and found the one that had been tripped and I flipped the breaker back to on and nothing happened. So I tried it a couple times and nothing so today is the second we only have power in half of our house. It is supposed to be fixed tomorrow. I really hope it does because I hate not having a tv and I have realized that it is more of a comfort because I hate being alone and hearing weird sounds outside.

The little brother I always wish I had.....

About a week ago one of the best people I know was in a tragic car accident that took his life. His name was Logan and I went to his house everyday for about 7 years. Growing up he was kind of like the little brother I never had. I was at work when the accident happened and I remember hearing the ambulence and then I saw the fire truck and thought oh no something terrible has happened. After that I had forgotten about the fire truck and ambulence till my mom called me at 10:45 and told me that Logan had died I just started crying. My mom got home from work about 10 minutes later and we went right up to his house. It was so hard to be in his house I hugged all his family and just sat in chair till my mom had said "I think we should go," twice. That night I had a hard time even wanting to go to sleep but I finally did and I dreamt about Logan most of the night. I don't have a lot of memories of Logan because I was so young that last time I really hung out with him. But the strongest memory I have is the day I graduated from high school he asked me if i had a cell phone and what the number was. I thought it was a little werid but I gave it to him and he just texted me for a while, all he wanted was to know how was doing. That made my day even better, it let me know that he still still cared even though we didn't talk very much. Today was his funeral and just before was his viewing and as I was looking at him it still didn't seem real. I know he is a better place and I will see him again soon. I am just going to miss seeing him around town.This is the only picture I have of Logan and I it is really old because I was like 9 and he was 7.....

This are Logan's lovely brothers and sisters, they are also like my second family and I love them so much....
I have been looking at a lot of pictures of him lately and I have realized that he loved to make this face. I am really going to miss seeing this face.

I am going...........

On a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints to the Australia Perth Mission. Well it all started about a year ago when the thought of you should go on a mission popped into my head, and with all my heart I tried to ignore that feeling. Then I met a pretty nice guy that helped me forget this prompting that I was having. Then after about 3 months me and that guy ended. I knew it was for the best then but it still hurt. Then about a month and a half after that ended I got to the point that I felt like I was over it but I still wasn't happy. So I went and had interview with my bishop because I figured it was time to get my patriarchal blessing . Then a couple of weeks later it was time to get my blessing and after much prayer and fasting, I was ready. A couple of my friends had told me to go to my blessing with questions I had prayed about and asked should I go on a mission, was the very first question that I had. Let me tell you I got a pretty clear answer and from then on I knew I was destined to go on a mission. And as soon as I accepted the fact that I was going a mission, my whole attitude changed and I was the happiest I have been in a while.

Angel Moroni

So a couple days ago in Brigham city a friend and I went to watch Angel Moroni go on top of the temple and man I have to say it was way cool to watch. We wanted a good seat to see it go up so we got there two hours early and we sat through the wind, rain and intensen heat. The best thing was seeing all the missionaries walking around... I was jealous and wish I could leave my real life for a while to teach the gospel. Anyway at 12:30 the construction workers annouced that Angel Moroni couldn't go up till the wind go below 5 MPH and finally around 1:45 he finally went up and it took about 30 minutes to get him secured and then at end everyone cheered. It was so great and I am glad that I decided to go.Here the temple is before Moroni...Here he is just hanging out...Me and my bestest friend with the temple behind us

Here he flying....There he is finally now connected to the top of the temple.......and here is the finished project.

Oh p.s. I will have a big annoucement to make in about 3 weeks so keep watching my blog and facebook and you will be really excited for me I just know it.

Fun lately......

I know I haven't blogged very much lately... it's just harder to do with a home computer that sucks. So whenever you see that I have blogged it means that I have gotten my lazy butt off the couch and made it to the library to use their internet.

Well a lot has happened.....

Like on the 4th of July two friends I drove down to provo to the Stadium of Fire. We really went to see concerts that come along with it. We left Tremonton at 2 and the doors didn't even open till 6 but it was good thing because we got lost and it took us 3 hours to get to provo instead of hour and fourty-five minutes. We learned that there is no BYU exit and then I remembered hearing that BYU and UVU share housing so we found a UVU exit and evenutally found our to BYU but then we had no clue where to park so we drove around trying to decide where to park and eventually we just parked at a random house hoping we wouldn't get a ticket. Then we finally got in and had to wait forever for it start to we walked around and bought Brad P and David A shirts. Overall I loved Stadium of Fire and I would go again if someone amazing was performing.This is us leaving we look so excited and refreshedBrad brought 7 semi's with him crazy huhWe stopped at a random gas station and man I was so happy to see an ICEE machine... It has really hot this day.This is us at the end of the night trying to pretend that we weren't tried but man we had really done a lot

My night

Last night I went with Chantel to Minnetonka Cave to help with a girls camp activity. It was really fun were bad people in the cave and we had to try to get the girls to cross the bad line but none of them did. So we just sat there and played Uno and let my tell you that game is so hard to play in poorly lit cave. We all had a hard time figuring out what cards were blue and what ones were green. After we were finished with that we stopped at a Mexican resturant by Bear Lake and it Karaoke night so Chantel, Gentry, Shari and I all sang Don't Stop Believin by Journey and then Cody and Ryan Sang Gone by Montgomery Gentry. It was all really fun!!! I tried uploading the videos on here and it didn't work so you will just have to go to my Facebook page and watch them.

My injury...

It all started last Wednesay when I was at work and I realized the lights outside needed to be turned on. I usually ask the cooks to do it but I decided that I wanted to so I walked down to the basemnent and when I got down there Irealized there was water on the floor. When I saw the water I started to walking really carefully. I finally got the lights turned on and forgot about the water and I started running and then I slipped and fell. It hurt so bad I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it up the stairs but I finally did and when I got up there I went the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom room I checked out my leg that really hurt and there was a huge red welt and there was also a big red mark on my arm. I thought oh great I will have a huge bruise on my leg and a little one on my arm. I was wrong I have a huge one on my arm that is hard hide and just a small one on my leg. I thought my bruise was cool at first now it is just annoying because everyone always asks me what happened. You can see by the picture how big it actually is, I just hope it goes away soon so I don't wake up thinking who is going to ask me today about my arm.

The best and worst blind date all in one

The monday of the week I moved home for the summer my mom came to Logan to do some shopping and whenever she comes over we always go to lunch. This time we decided to go to chuck a rama. While we were there we sat by two ladies and one of the ladies knew one of the employees and he came talked to them. After he left one of the ladies told me that I should give my number to him. Well I was really nervous about that because I don't usually just give my number to random people that I haven't even talked to. I thought about it for a little while and then I gave my number to the lady to give to the employee. I left chuck a rama thinking that I would never hear from him. But to my surprise that night he started texting me. We ended up going on a date that night. We went to MacDonald's and I just wanted ice cream but he ordered this big meal and when we got to the window his card didn't work (I had cash with me but there was no way I was going to pay for him to eat a big meal). He said "my bank has done this to me before, I just had a check of $1500." At first I didn't believe it but then I started to and then he decided that he wanted to try his card at Carl's Jr and guess what it didn't work there eaither. He was smarter that time and only ordered ice cream so I payed and he said "you shouldn't have to pay we will go to a really nice dinner like Texas Roadhouse," I said "it's ok don't worry about it." I believed him and the rest of the date went great we just drove around and talked. When he dropped me off at my apartment he said "I will text you in the next couple of days." He texted me the next day and told me that he got off early and I asked him what he was going to do with his free time and he never answered. I texted him the next day and then 2 more times after that. I thought it was really werid because he seemed interested but whatever I was just angry with myself for believing that something was going to happen. Then a couple days ago I heard he has a new girlfriend and they went out to dinner and he forgot his wallet. Isn't that crazy now I really know that what he pulled with me was just to get a something free. I have definitly learned a lesson that boys need to earn my trust and that I need to trust myself.

My poor phone

So last week my phone started acting werid and it would tell me there wasn't enough memory and that needed to delete items. So I deleted a lot of stuff off phone and it just kept telling me that there wasn't enough memory. It's capacity to hold things kept getting smaller and smaller. Yesterday I came to logan and went to the T-moblie store to see if they could fix it and they didn't fix it, it just got worse. Everytime the girl would push a button it would say not enough memory please delete items. Then the phone took on a life of it's own and almost deleted all of my contacts and then without the even pushing anything it would say delete items not enough memory. That is when the guy working with her said "your phone is fried." The girl working on my phone got my contacts on the SIM card so those were saved but now all my phone says on the screan is NOKIA. So I have been phoneless for a while and I will remain phoneless till tongiht or tomorrow morning. While I was at the T-moblie booth I asked them if my phone was a piece of crap and the girl said "yes and I am surprised they didn't recall it." I kind of figured that by the way they were acting. I am just glad that is only problem that I have had with the whole year that I had it. I just wish that I had my phone back because I really liked it and it was my watch so now I have to find a clock wherever I go.

Where did Regi go....

I know you were all wondering why I haven't blogged in a while well I moved home and my computer at home sucks and I can't use my laptop there. So at home I don't really get online as much as I used to. But now I pretty much live to go to work at Arctic Circle that is. I have worked there on and off for almost 3 years. It is crazy to think that I have worked there that long. I have some really good memories there like......
The time I was in charge and we rode down the stairs on trays, well I didn't ride down the stairs but two of my employees did.
Then another time when this really old supervisor (he used to be a gymnastics coach in texas) looked at me and said " you have the body of gymnast, did you ever take gymnastics." I said " yes but I quit after I fell on my head and sprained my arm." I thought that was really werid and he didn't last very long before he got fired.
For a while my co-workers thought it was really funny to play tricks on me, so my supervisor asked me to go downstairs and get some cookie dough. I went to do what I was asked and when I got downstairs and opened the freezer one of my friends popped out and I screamed and closed the freezer and ran upstairs.
Another time they told me to go and check the bathrooms but by that time I had caught on to what they were thinking and I refused to do it. So another girl that was working went and did it for me and when she got back there someone jumped out and screamed "Regi," I laughed and went on working.
Well those are all of my stories from Arctic Circle and now on to what my plans are for the summer well the are pretty simple.... Work as much as I am allowed, play some video games, watch every season of Saved By the Bell ( I own every season so that shouldn't be too hard just very time consuming), make a skirt, make a blanket, read some books and by the end of the summer be able to run a 10 minute mile. I think those are all pretty good goals I am just trying to fill this summer with things other than watching tv and gaining weight.

This school year.....

It is hard I to believe that this school year is almost over. I get really sad every time I think that a lot of things are changing (let's just say change isn't my favorite thing). It feels just like yesterday that I moved in with 5 of my best friends. We have become a family over this past year and it has been great. I have loved coming home and knowing that my friends will always be here for me. I wish we could all live together next but we are going in different directions. I have also learned a lot this year... a lot more than I thought I would. The most important thing that I have learned is "it's not about what you want it's about how you feel." Lets just say I am really stubborn and there was a period of time this year were I kept thinking regi don't do that but I wanted to so I just ignored that prompting. After about 3 months of being dumb it all came crashing down on me and it was then that I realized a lot about myself. Sometimes I look back and think man what was I doing but other times I think I am glad I went through that because it made me a better person.

Here are some of my favorite times from this year.......so I had blue hair from October to January, it was nice but I know it's just a one time event you will never see me with werid hair again....Amy being a goof at wal-mart....When Chantel and I found a random phone booth in the insitute building with no phone inside it anymore...Going to the store and buying random things with Kenzie, at times she was the only one that would come with me....Aggie basketball games were great... a lot better than last year because I actually had people who wanted to go with me this year....

Going home with Brittnay and Amy for Payson's Onion days. I had so much fun this year I wish it never had to end.

What Logan has that I wish Tremonton did...

1. More than one Subway- I never want to be a regular any where and I go to subway once or twice a week and logan has 3 within 5 minutes of my apartment. With that many so close I can switch up witch one I go to so I don't become a regular.
2. Jamba Juice- This is one of my most favorite places to go I also go here about once a week and it is just so good everytime I go. I usually get the sour patch kids one and I have to say it is really good.
3. Twizl Berry- This is the best frozen yogurt place that I have ever been. I don't go here as much as I go to Jamba and Subway but I still go here a lot.
4. Temptation Cupcakes- The cupcakes from this store are like a dream. They look like the ones from tv
5. Juniper take-out- I have loved this place even before I moved to Logan and I love it even more that I can go as much as I want now that I live in Logan.
6. Taco Tuesday- I have an idea Taco Time in Tremonton should have a Taco Tuesday it would be great... I would go. It would just make my day!!!
7. My friends that I can only find in Logan!!!

Un-plugged week

I bet you all were begining to wonder why I had blogged almost every day one week and then you didn't hear from me at all the next week. Well hear it goes last Monday when I was in the TSC computer lab I saw a sign that said un-plugged week.Un-plugged week means no social media for the week to help you see how much time is wasted on things like that. Before I saw that sign I was begining to think that I needed to limit my social media and so right then and there I decided to not get on facebook or blogger for the week. As soon as I decided I started to doubt that I would be actually able to do but let me say that I made it. It was easier than I thought it would be to stay away from social media. On Thursday I almost caved because I just wanted to get on blogger and read one of my friends but I have to say that I proud that I did not get on. I also spent a lot of the week thinking of blog posts that I could possibily write but now I am not sure I remember any of those ideas. I never realized how much I say " I saw it on facebook," or "did you see that our friend is engaged." I see how annoying that is I am going to try and not rely so much on facebook. It also forced me to do my homework because there is only so much tv I can watch before I get restless.

Funny Story of the day

Well I read in the police blotter that someone had been hit by the parking lot arm. I thought to myslef that would be really funny to see. I told Amy that I thought that it would be really funny to see and she thought it was rude. I agreed that it was rude but I still think it would be funny to watch happen. So today as I walking home I there was a car coming out of the institute parking lot and I stepped behind it not realzing what was going to happen next. Well arm that goes up and down to get into the parking lot hit me. It was just on the side of my arm but it was still kind of embrassing. I don't know if anyone around me realized what happened but I just think that it was funny that I wanted to see it happen to someone else but then it happened to me. That will be the last time wish to see something like that.

Why can't today be like yesterday?

Yesterday Amy, Paige and me went to the temple to do our homework and I have to say it was really nice to sit on the grass and enjoy the nice weather. Here is the beauitful logan temple......

Yeah Amy and Paige are dorks but I still love them.....

This is my most favorite picture from the whole time we were at the temple. It was a great idea to go to the temple even though we didn't get to go inside it is almost better to just be outside and feel the spirit that is there. What made it even better was the fact that is was nice day outside.... unlike today.

The best thing I learned at church

About 4 months ago I was having a really hard time, a friend had really hurt my feelings and I was having a hard time dealing with it. I went to bed on a saturday night in a bad mood. When I woke up the next day for church I was still in a bad mood but I went to church anyway. I remember I felt like everyone wanted to talk to me and all I wanted was to be left alone. It was fast and testimony meeting that Sunday and with each testimony I started to feel better but some part of me just wanted to still be angry. So I went on with church still trying to be mad but the more I tried the less I felt that way. Then at the end of relief society one of my friends got up a bore her testimony and it was exactly what I needed. She said that we must love everyone because they are all sons and daughters of god. That really hit me hard because it let me know that reguardless of what choices my friend makes I still need to love them because we all came from the place and we all need to be forgiven. I still haven't talked to my friend since all of this happened but now I don't habor any hard feelings anymore.

My new favorite song.....

Jar of hearts- The first time I heard this song I thought it was ok but the second time I heard it I decided that I loved it. That is very unusal for me because ususally I have to listen to a song a lot before I love it. The only other time that this has happpened was with Avril Lavigne, I still remmeber the first time I saw her music video I was in love. I still love her music and I am excited that she finally put out a new CD.

Stadium of fire......

If you were wondering.... witch I am sure you all are I am going to the stadium of fire with Chantel of course. I can't wait it is going to be so fun. When I went to her apartment for lunch today she told me about how she wanted to go and that I wanted to go to so it was decided then and there that we would go. I am so excited so to I have wanted to ever since I first heard about it when I was little but my mom never wanted to so that was out of the question. Well now that I am pretty much an adult I can go and there is nothing that my mom can do about it. Guess who the preformers are going to be this Brad Paisley and David Archuleta... yep I am way excited. I just wish that July 2 would get here sooner so it was warm and I would be STADIUM OF FIRE. He didn't have to be-I love this is song but lets just face I love a lot of the old country songs She's everything-I really like this song because gives me a glimpse into what my future husband will think about me. Letter to me- I really like this song becaue I always think about the advice that I want to give to my friends younger than me As I was looking on YouTube for Brad Paisley songs I realized that I loved more of his songs than I even realized I those are just a few I could post a lot more believe me. Crush- As I was looking up David Archuleta I realized that I only know one of his songs but don't worry I still have a few months to work on that.

My week!!!!

Monday 3/28 This was the worst day of the whole week. I woke up felt great then I go to leave my apartment and guess what I couldn't find my glasses. Yeah so I had to go the whole day without them. Let me tell you I am not a very happy person with my glasses. I know that I looked like was pissed off the whole day.One thing that did make the day better was one of neighbors gave me a ride up the hill. Luckily for that day my first class the teacher uses really big words on her slide shows, institute was the most fustrating because I couldn't see the board and then in child guidence I had a test and I usually take off my glasses for my test so that wasn't a problem at all. Then after that when I got home much to my surprise I found my glasses on my bathroom counter under a baggie. I felt much better after I found them. Tuesday 3/29 Well I love every Tuesday because guess what I don't have any classes so I can do whatever I want for the day. Let me tell yah I can't just stay inside all day so I usually end up going to wal-mart or Lee's (even if I don't need to) just buy candy (sour gummie worms and cherry heads). But this Tuesday was very different because I went to see my friend who just got married. It was great to see her and catch up with everything that had happened since the wedding. I also just love seeing her little girl. Wednesday 3/30 This was a pretty regular day till I got to my friend Chantel's apartment for lunch and found out I was going with her to look at places to live for the summer. Well our first stop was in the island in a basement apartment. The landlord said that no currently lived in it so she would leave the door open all day and they could at any time durring the day. We both thought that was werid. When we pulled up to the apartment the door to it looked like it could easily be broken down and it was about as tall as me. So Chantel slowly opened the door and the door dragged against the floor. She was scared to go in so I said come on just go. So we walked down a hall way that just had carpet placed over cement and it smelled. Then we got to the kitchen and living room where there was a hole in the wall and then onto the bathroom were you could sit on the toilet and easily put your feet in the tub. Next we left because it was too creepy. Thursday 3/31 No classes today eaither because the only one that I usually have was canceled so I got sit home alone most of the. So I took my time getting ready I curled my hair, cleaned the kitchen and did some homework. Then at about 4 I couldn't stand being my apartment so I packed up my stuff and headed of to a park to do my homework. At first I was going to first dam but I then I decided that willow park would be better. So I got there and sat at a table for a hour just doing my homework and listening to the little kids play. But it started to get cold so I left and my next stop was the store and then the temple. At the temple I just walked around it and man I could feel the spirit and it was great to walk past everyone that was there and get a smile. Friday 4/1 April fools day!!! Let my just say that I really don't like this holiday. When I got to family finance to turn my homework I realized that I was supposed to write a paper about my homework. So instead of going to class I went to the computer lab to write a 2-3 page paper. Lets jus say that I wrote it in 35 minutes I was pretty proud of myself. After that I went to my class and turned in my assigment. Then I went to religion in life and my next stop was my apartment for lunch. When I got home I was alone for a while till Amy and Paige came home. They were both in really good moods and they convinced me to put on my shorts. So I did I actually changed my whole outfit, after that I was in a really good mood. Then I decieded to go to temptation cupcakes and buy all of my roommates and my mom a cupcake. Lets just say they all loved me and they have the best cupcakes there. Then I had to go to child guidence and in the middle of class there was a wasp and noboday was paying attention and less than half of the class was there was we got out early. Then I made my way home and had a nice heart to heart with my mom. Overall it was a great Friday!!!! Saturday 4/2 My mom made pancakes, that shocked me because I don't think my mom has ever made pancakes. Lets just the first couple of pancakes were learning experiences but after that they were really. I was more just shocked that my mom was cooking something for breakfast that I really liked most of the time she just frys potato's. Then I watched conference and when that was over I cleaned out somethhings in my room. Around dinner time I went up town and got my favorite Subway ( I eat there at least once a week) and then I went to Arctic Circle to get some cheese in a breadstick. They are the best things, they are just fried cheese but man I sure do love them. What made Arctic Circle even better was a lot of my old friends were working so I was there for a while just talking. Today 4/3 Woke up watched some more conference. The funny thing is during the afternoon session today I just could sit still. So I tried turning the channel and guess what it wouldn't turn to the channel that I wanted so I tried another channel and when I was sick of that channel I pushed last (thinking it would take me back to conference) and it took me to the first channel that I wanted and lets just say I found out the reason that it wouldn't turn to that channel. Then I remembered that I need to check my oil (still during conference) and so as soon as I walked outside it started to snow a little and it kept snowing harder the longer I was outside but as soon as I came in it quite snowing. Now if those aren't signs saying just sit down and stay in that chair till conference is over I don't know what is. But I did enjoy the parts of conference that I listened to. Now I am back in logan hopeing that one of my roommates comes home real soon because I am bored. Well I hope that this next week is as eventful as this last one has been.

Day 30- A motto or philosophy

I never said it would be easy..... I just said that it would be worth it. I really believe this quote because after you have been through hard times you it is easy for you to cherish the good times. Why this quote means so much is when I was junior in high school my mom lost her job that she had, had for 23 years. I was in shock when she told me and at first I didn't believe it. I remember praying that night and I just got this overwhelming feeling that everything would be just fine. It was just so hard to think my mom would no longer have a job. She did have a part time job for 4 months and then she was hired on full time at her current job and it was the biggest relief that she finally had a full-time job. But I know that because of that experience I learned so much. During that time I had to learn to do a lot of things for myself because my mom was gone at night instead of during the day. It really helped with the adjustment to college because I already knew how to cook meals and do other basic things on my own. While I was going through this I just why did this happen to me but I can honestly say it was worth it and I learned so much. I am done with the 30 day blog challenge and I have to say that the only way I made it through was the fact that I set most of the blog posts as drafts. That means when the day came to post them all I had to do was change the post date and push publish post and bam I was done. Anyway I hoped you have learned a lot about me and I will continue to post, just not everyday.

Day 27- My fashion favorites

I love to wear my Aggie shirts....... If I could I would wear my aggie shirt and jeans everyday but considering I only have two aggie shirts and they are both pretty stained I only wear them when I am feeling lazy.

I just got these shoes and I have to say they are the best shoes that I have ever had.....I had seen Amy and Pagie with shoes similar to these and I thought they were so ulgy and that I would never get some but I am so glad that I did. I have also recently decided that I don't like to wear shoes with laces so that is another benefit of these shoes.

I also really love to wear big rings like this one.....

I wish I had this ring but I don't and the best place to buy big rings is shopko or avon. I also really like to wear my CTR ring especially when I am having a hard day it just reminds me that everything will be ok if I just choose the right. Below is a picture of the CTR ring that I am getting for easter. I am so excited to get this I just wish easter would come sooner!!!!!

Day 26- A childhood memory

When I was 8 years old I went to visit my dad. At that moment in my life my dad lived in Kansas with my step-mom. It was pretty scary because I flew and I had never been on a plane before. I remember it was so hot outside when I left and my mom made me wear pants and I was thought it was because if the plane crashed I would be protected if I wore pants. I think that I flew on Delta airlines and because I was under age I had to wear a pin and one of the flight attendants was always in charge of me. I spent most of the time getting to know my step-mom. They were moving while I was there so I think we ate at Macdonalds everyday. I remember one time my step-mom left me with my dad while she went somewhere and I cried the whole she was gone. My dad bought me and ice cream in hopes that I would stop crying but it didn't help. I also remember we lived at this camp ground for a while and every night me and my step-mom would go to Dairy Queen and hot fudge sundaes. The part I remember the most was coming home and when I got off the plane I saw my mom and I wanted so badily to just run to her but they held me back till they could prove that she was actually my mom.

Day 25- A recipe

Well I will give you my favorites as a college student

Smackaroni-just macaroni and cheese and chicken ramen noodles.
All you do is cook the noodles together and then drain them and then add the milk, butter and chesse like you are making mac and cheese. Then at the very end add the chicken seasoning and bam it is done and you are living like a real college student.

S'mores in the oven
pre-heat the oven to 375
You next put the graham crackers and marshmellows on a cookie sheet and put them it the oven till the marshmellows are brown. Then you take them out and put the chocolate on the marshmellows and cook them till the chocolate is melted.

Day 24- A movie you won't expect me to love

I will be honest most of my movies are chick flicks or children movies so there isn't really a movie that you would be shocked to find out that I love but here are some of my favorite movies....

Matilda- I just love this movie it is so entertaining to watch and some of the moments are pretty intense.
The parent trap- I have always loved watching this movie I remember that I borrowed it from my aunt and never gave it back.
Pop star- hahah I really don't like this movie but it was good to watch once. I watched it yesterday after church. It has Aaron Carter in it and I have to say that he is just about the worst actor that I know.

I don't really have a lot of movies that I like eaither because lets face it everytime I watch a movie I fall asleep. There was one time when I had to watch a movie for a class and I made myself sit on the floor so I would stay awake.

Day 23- Things that make me happy

Day 22- Pictures from where I live

Here are some awsome pictures from where I live........ This is the lovely living room where I spend a lot of my time, my favorite thing to do is take my sunday naps on that little couch.

The kitchen where many sunday dinners have been prepared and also were I spend a lot of time doing my math homework

This is my bathroom and no the counter doesn't usually look that great I cleaned it today.

This would be the wonderful desk that me and Larissa share and it usually has piles off stuff on it that is why I do most of my homework at the kitchen table.

This is my closet and it is the biggest closet that I have ever had and you can see my most favorite part of my room the wall of pictures. Every time I print new pictures I add to it you should have seen it at the begining of the year there was definitly a lot less pictures. All of the pictures on this wall are of my roommates and me.This would the best bed that I have ever had!!!! Yes I sleep on a bunk bed and I have since I was 8 years old. I am kind of scared that one night I will fall of the edge but it hasn't happened yet. But almost every night I wake up in the middle of the night and push myself back so I don't fall off. If you are wondering I sleep on the top and Larissa on the bottom and if can't see there is more pictures up there but those are only of my family.
