TGIF :)

I havent done this in a while...
i confess:-sushi with nin & kailee was a horrible idea. long story short-- we went to this sushi place and it was all you can eat. you pay a price & order as many rolls as you want, but TRICKSTERS at the sushi place-- you have to pay for what you dont eat. we ordered waaaay too much so nin being the good samaritan she is, went to the bathroom, puked up her previous sushi so she could finish the sushi we hadnt finished so we didnt have to pay for them. :)
-i am WAY too excited for this weekend. im excited for one- i get to go to sunday morning session at general conference & two- its the weekend and i really need it. haha school has been quite the drag this week
-i really really really miss gymnastics & cheer. my entire life i have done something active and now that im in college and being a complete lazy bum, i have come to the conclusion that i am going to try out for cheer in college next year. the end. 
-i wanna go shopping so bad. but im being smart and not spending money. darn my common sense. 
-i cannot wait to be married. i have kind of become obsessed with planning my wedding and looking up ideas for my future family and my future home. the future cant come soon enough. 
-i really miss wednesday nights in vegas. me & my sis would order pizza hut boneless wings & stuffed crust pizza. too good. 
-i cant wait until my best friend in the universe kaycee moves. i will be soooo happy. my fingers are crossed it all works out :)
-i want to go to disneyland SO SO SO bad. i dont think any amount of words could describe how bad i wanna go. disneyland is quite possibly my favorite place ever and i wanna go for the holidays. take me there?
-just incase anyone was wondering, my college football team LSU is ranked number one. hate on thaaaat. 
til next time :)

its thursdaaay!

thankful for:

-blankets- i love that even if its starting to get cold up here i have the best blankets ever that my nanay gloria has made me :)

-flashcards- totally got a big fat A on a test thanks to them.

-EFY music- when im having a bad day i love listening to efy songs. its great!

-birthdays- mine is right around the corner. im gonna be 19!!! i seriously feel like that is so old. im not getting any older i decided. but birthdays are the funnest :D

-tumblr- my tumblr is about as personal as it gets. i dont post extremely personal stuff on facebook or twitter. but my tumblr lets me get out every feeling that i have bottled up inside. thanks for that tumblr :)

-hugs- they are probably on the top of my favorite things list. im thankful for the feeling hugs can give me.

-postal service- i love my penpals. getting mail is so fun & i love knowing whats happening in my friends lives. be my penpal! :)

tis all.

a weekend at home

going home is the best, and the worst at the same time. i hate that when i go back to vegas i have to come home to orem. but oh well, visiting is nice while it last. i left on thursday night with hadley suzie & eric for the weekend. we got in late thursday night & right away i went to visit my nanay gloria who now lives across the street. she was up at midnight baking cookies with madilynne. we sat and talked & cried about my cousin passing away. she is the best lady around.

i went to bed around 3 am & got up at 7. bad idea. i was so tired the whole day. i had lots to do so i ran some errands then went up to the high school to see my old teachers & see the assembly. i  was glad to see all my lil friends at vegas and to hang out with my family there. my brother got pushed up to varsity football as a freshmen so he got to be apart of the assembly. the assembly in my opinion wasnt the best but it was good to be there. after school i ran more errands and spray tanned trin & sarah. at the parade suzie talked me into sitting on the alumni float, which i so freaking annoying. the wildcat on that float is so obnoxious ha. i went to the game and sat with my family, saw more friends and my best friend kaycee. jake was on kick off return and it was cool to see him under the friday night lights. mad cheered and tumbled but it was way weird not being on the track cheering. i have never sat at a varsity game and not cheered it felt like. but it was good to be able to see the game for once. i got to see kaydee and we talked for a lil after the game. it was good to see everyone that i have missed lots.

the next day was the homecoming dance for vegas high & i had a lot to do. i did hair and make up for 5 girls and they all turned out too pretty. im glad that i got to help them :)

i was sad that i myself wasnt getting ready for the dance haha. that is one of the things i miss the most! my sis & maya looked so pretty. its weird to think that they are already juniors. i remember them being in 3rd grade and being more annoying then they are today.

that night i went jimictos fashion show, to canes and hung out with my babybro. on sunday i went to church, and drove back to provo with eric suz & had. it was an awesome weekend and much needed. im super excited for the next time i get to go back to vegas, tate, tanners older brother gets home from his mission! i really cant wait. im so excited for his family :)

my lil babies going to homecoming :)

my sis looked beautiful!

jack in his varsity uniform. hes getting too tall & too big :(

blessed.

its been a hard week. i've felt sick most days & had other things make my day suck to say the least. it made me realize a lot. i am so extremely blessed.

-thankful for:

-tanner chauncey, this week was hard. but its made me realize how extremely thankful i am for tanner. we both do dumb things but i love him no matter what.

-general conference- this year for the first time ever i get to go to general conference for the sunday morning session. the chaunceys got me a ticket and i am so extremely thankful for that.

-uncle randy- he's hookin it up every month with some money if i work for it. im way excited and grateful.

-hulu- allows me to watch all my old favorite shows, the hills, laguna beach, old seasons of glee, and the newest episode of glee. hulu is awesome :)

-kristin & kailee- they arent the first to show me how to do laundry, but they were the first to assist me doing it all on my own :) theyre great roomates. i really appreciate them

-Suz & Had- they are truly some of the best friends i have ever had. they are always there, anytime of the day for me. im so glad they are super close up here in utah. idk what id do without them

-water- its the best. i havent had anything but milk, water, and vitamin water pretty much while ive been in utah & its made me feel so much better. soda makes me feel so yucky, water is just too yummy.

-tanning beds- having one for free at my complex is amazing. especially since its getting cold up here & im turning white as snow.

-the chance to go home- i am so thankful and really excited. i cannot wait to get home tonight. :)

thankful thursday..FINALLY.

in my apartment we made a big poster that says "count your blessings" with tally marks & it is awesome. everyday it reminds me that i seriously am so freaking blessed.

thankful for:
-the gym, kailee and i have decided to really start working out. thank goodness, without cheer i feel like i just am so lazy. its weird not having something active to do everyday.

-my external hard drive, & kaycee for putting SO many good movies on it. at night when im doing homework or just not tired i can watch any movie. its great. :)

-my parents, i really miss them. they are seriously the most awesome people around

-hadley weiner, she is letting me come to vegas with her next week. i am soo thankful because i really miss home.

-sister meegan fast, she is amazing. she wrote me a nice message the other day & it really made my day. love that lady!

-emree, she makes my tuesdays great. starting off watching her makes me happy. im glad i can help tessa & tyler, plus she is soo stinkin cute!

-julie chauncey- she is truly one incredible lady. she sent me a letter & two gift cards. im thankful she is in my life!

theeeee eeennndddddd :D

manic monday

well im here at school sitting in the hall of flags waiting in between classes. so i decided that i should blog since i havent in so so so long. well yeah, this past week has been quite interesting. im coming up on my 4th month that ive been living out here & i am still kinda homesick. the other day i facetimed with my family and i just miss them a lot. i wanna go home asap. but yeah, on saturday i donated plasma. its $30 so since im a broke college student, i decided to go ahead and try. i have a past history with donating blood and it just is not a good thing. i usually get extremely light headed and close to passing out so i was already nervous going in.

this is a picture of the needle. its HUGE. and it hurt soo bad. when i donated i had a terrible reaction and got so dizzy after the first cycle. i told the lady that was helping me out and she started to fan me, got me an ice pack and some water. after i started to feel better she asked if i wanted to continue, i said yes hoping that my body would adjust. WROOOONGGG! after the second cycle my hand started to go completely numb and began to cramp up really bad. i thought my hand was paralyzed. tanner says that i am really dramatic, but this is me being so serious. so yeah, plasma sucked. but i got $30 for not even finishing. im going back on thurday and ill get $40. its probably gonna suck again but the money is worth it :)

kristin always asks me to blog about her when she knows i am about to write a new post. she is quite the roommate. her & i together can get extremely loud. kailee is awesome and constantly makes us laugh. i really love my apartment. its awesome to have roommates that i can have fun with. a couple of nights ago we just sat and listened to music, ate cookies & watched the notebook :) we're pretty lame. 

i dont have all that much to write so im gonna just leave it at that. see ya 'round.

-i really wish i was going home this weekend. but ill be home at the end of the month so its not that bad.
-i love college. i dont think that i have ever in my life gotten 8 hours of sleep. i love that my schedule allows me to do that.
-i havent had a hamburger in MONTHS. we drove by in n out yesterday & i honestly cant even remember the last hamburger i had. im not mad about it tho, they gross me out. 
-suzie dutson really needs to do my toes. they are lookin ROUGH. 
-i miss aaron floyd & emilee bowen. everyday they call me & try to facetime. haha sadly im in class so it kinda doesnt work out. its the thought that counts tho. they are punks. 
-my brother is an absolute beast. he's only had two games so far for football but has had a touchdown at each game, made countless tackles & is still playing both ways. he's a team captain & i really really wish i could be there to watch him. i seriously hate missing things like this. & tonight is another varsity game i am missing. my sis is a cheer captain & id love to be there to make fun of her calling cheers :) & i wanna see the assembly routine that i made up haha
-im really upset there wasnt a new jersey shore episode last night. 
-blogging makes me happy. i feel like i could blog everyday about everything. kind of embarrassing but i enjoy it. its a great addiction
-i love watching emree on tuesday mornings. she is the best baby. shes super cuddly & just sits and watches movies with me :) this past tuesday we watched princess & the frog & she sat quite interested until she fell asleep. i love her!
-when i get married i really want a super nice fridge. kind of dumb, but i was at best buy yesterday with nin & kailee & we were looking at all the appliances & holy crap, i was so interested in how intense the fridges are. haha i love the ones that have two doors for the actual fridge & a pull out drawer or two on the bottom for the freezer. i want one. BAD. 
-i have the best boyfriend in the world. no questions about it. 
thats all :)
