and then i got an e-mail...

Timing is funny, isn't it. That's all I've got to say about THAT.

It's crazy how fast the semester is going. I think it's because I've been on campus from 8am to midnight every day for the past three weeks. I should just set up a tent, ya know. And hope that they don't lock up all the buildings...because I would need a restroom.

I've been working on a lot of branding projects as well as building my first website. I seriously love HTML. Who knew I could develop such love. I love it because it's like a puzzle/equation/test that I HAVE to figure out. Actually, I really do need to figure out the code otherwise it won't work, ha. 

Freakin' cool!!!

Yesterday I went on a blind date. C'mon you know how you feel about those, don't judge.

No, but it really was so much fun. Except the first part, as in the lets-ask-a-lot-of-questions-so-we-don't-have-to-sit-through-awkward-silence part. It was a double {phew!}, we went bowling and then ice cream. Cute, simple, a little cliche but still super fun. We spoke lots of Spanish. 

Last week I had an MIS {Management Information Systems} project and it kicked my butt. Seriously. It even laughed in my face. Not. Cool. 

I thought I knew Excel pretty well. I do, however, when it comes down to applying formulas to an actual real-life project that's where all heck broke loose. Which brings me to my next point. {Not that I have a list of points going on or anything...} 

I have a problem. It's called:

I don't like asking for help because I'd rather figure it out on my own.

So, it took a lot of humbling down and pride decrease-age {that's not a word} to ask for help.

I need to get over that and ask. Ask. Ask. Ask.

Last but not least, this is what I see when I get out of classes:

Life is not bad. It's actually quite fun.

How true that is! I'm excited for the future. I'm excited to see where life will take me. I'm excited to to have what I've waited for. OOOOHH exciting, right?

Just a little love...

Have a nice day :)

Bloomington Hike

I've never been to Bloomington, Idaho let alone Bloomington Lake. The first time I went with a group of friends for CRASH of the Week. Check out this video by Jon Price:

It was so gorgeous that I had to go back!!! Over Labor Day a few of us left Logan and went for a hike. If you know me, you know that I'm not a big fan of hikes, but boy do I love this one! If you haven't been, please go soon, it is beautiful and breath taking. 

We are blessed to have these places to go to, no?

The water is FREEZING. I didn't even get in all the way like these crazies!

My dad's b-day.

Today is my dad's birthday! 

I love him so much. 

You could say I'm a daddy's girl, I'm so lucky to call him my dad. He is very hard working and is always making jokes. He loves everyone and is willing to help them out whenever, wherever! I'm proud to call him my papa and am so happy that families are forever!!! 

Happy b-day pops! You seriously are the best, thanks for all you do.

Don't tell Jonny boyyyy..

First of all, find friends who will give you THIS kind of advice.

Second, follow that advice.

I hope Jon reads this one day and appreciates it. Yeah.

Let's talk.

I'm in the right place at the right time when awkward/funny/embarrassing/sad/happy things happen. I guess it's a blessing. Or at least I'd like to think so. Because those moments keep me going. And not only that, they make me want to be a better person. Yes, even the embarrassing ones. To name a few random happenings in my life.

1. My math professor reminds me of Lord Voldemort. Shoot. How is one supposed to concentrate?
2. I pulled up to a stop light as it turned red, and I noticed a very cute, old man walking along with a backpack. Well it was next to a car dealership so there were balloons hanging from strings, and one popped by the old man! He jumped and looked around...SO funny!
3. I came a few minutes late to class and a boy gave up his chair for me. How nice.
4. My missionary friends are coming back!!!! One of them is already home. Oh, happy days.
5. The Temple is great. I love going there.

Enjoy those funny moments in life, won't ya?

How to loose a guy...

In 10 Days Seconds.

Oh yes. You read that right.

Okay, I had to entertain myself in math tonight. I got to class early so I had the option of sitting on the outside or inside. Of course I was blessed with a good looking young man in my class, so odds were {or were not} in my favor. I sat on the inside and left the other open. For the bachelor. Alas, he came late and another guy sat on my empty chair. This would be a good hash mark tweet, #talkaboutannoying. I just got a twitter account and I'm learning all sorts of things.

After making small talk with me a few times, the guy kept fidgeting. I noticed that he kept looking at my hands. Weird. But then it hit me. 

RING CHECK. 

Don't do this, k?

He must have come to the conclusion that I was not married or engaged because the small talk and awkward fidgeting grew. So, I slipped on a ring.... :)

He looked at my hands again and stared. And the small talk stopped. And the awkward fidgeting stopped.

The rest of class this guy was confused.

Ten points.

I am still laughing, guys!
