Move Out Time/Ranch Fun

I seriously cannot believe that I am done with the semester. It seems like it just started and although I really disliked this semester I feel sad that it is over. I moved out about 2 hours ago and I really am not gonna miss that place but I will miss being able to leave for class 2 min before it starts and getting there on time. It was seriously in the best location. If only the ward was bomb shigady, then maybe we would have stayed and just moved into another apartment. But me danielle erin and michelle are all moving into birch! I am super duper excited about that! Its going to be a party all the time.. except not since we are all taking extremely hard classes:/

So last night we were having our grilled cheese party and we were packing too. Well we realized that we didn't have enough tape and walmart closed in 20 min and erin's car was on the other side of campus. So we RAN through campus to erins' car with 10 min to spare. and then we saw some boys and we were flirting with them and it was hilarious, and then we pulled into the walmart parking lot and saw them there again. and they got out around the same time we got out and it was a wee bit awkward. hahaha. and then after walmart we went to our car party spot except for that we were dancing and this guy starts singing along. I was so creeped out/embarrassed. hahaha so we left and drove a little crazily out of the spot we were at. Then we went to my apartment and I started my final which took me 2 hours but I Aced!

Me and Danielle were doing tests and packing and so we didn't end up getting in bed till around 3:00am. But I had so much on my mind that it took me a good hour and a half to fall asleep. and then me and Danielle had to get up at 6:30am for our 7 o'clock final:/ I Aced that one too! (100%) I got home at 7:30 and I started packing right away. I packed from 7:30 -2:00 and Then I cleaned from 2:20-3:00. Then Mary Jo and Kevin and Emma helped me move all of my stuff to my grandmothers house so I honestly didn't stop running until about 4:00pm. I was so wiped out and then I traveled up to the ranch around 5:45ish.

We got to the ranch around 8 and the cousins thought it would be fun to go ride on the dirt bikes.. well no. haha I was on the back with Alex, which was fun but I don't think she was experienced enough to have me on the back with her. We were going pretty fast to keep up with Alice and Treon and there was A LOT of dust in our faces that was making it hard to see, and all of a sudden we went to turn a corner and Alex lost control of the steering and the break wouldn't go and we crashed off the side of a mini cliff. yeah it was so freaking scary. It was even more scary because if we would have crashed a second earlier we would have gone off a bridge into the rocks in the river below.. I landed on top of Alex in the splits and man.. I pulled my leg muscle BIG time. I have never been that hurt in my life. I also have some bruises and a couple scratches, but other than that I am okay. I woke up saturday morning in the most pain ever. I had hardly slept at all that night because every time I moved my leg it shot a pain up it.. so I had a good cry on Saturday morning while my mom just held me. haha I feel like such a big baby since I cried over my hurt leg.. but it was soo sore!

Saturday was the rodeo. I could barely walk so I didn't get to do a lot of the outside games. but I just had fun watching. I will have to put up pictures before I forget. We made snow cones and they were really good! Then we went down where the horses were to start those events. hahaha I am pretty good on a horse but with my hurt leg I was a little nervous to get on one.. but I did. We did barrel racing and the egg walk and the bannana run and just a bunch of stuff on a horse. We also did a rescue race.. bascially you're on a horse and you have a partner that goes down to the other end and you have to race down there and get them on the back of your horse and race back before anyone else gets there. I did it with Jen and the first time I rode down and we had the hardest time getting her on. The second time she rode down and because of my leg I couldn't get on at all. haha we had a good laugh. After that was over Treon killed a chicken. haha he tied the leg up and then chopped its head off. I shouldn't think that is fascinating but I totally did. I can be such a boy sometimes.

Today we went to sacrament meeting which was fun I suppose and then we came back and had Hawaiian Haystacks. yum! I was freaking exhausted so I took a nice 3 hour nap:) Then I woke up and we went and played outside. Its so darn nice up here! I absolutely love it here! I wish I could just stay here and take in the beauty of this place forever! we are going to watch New Moon soon and then apparently we are going to see Eclipse tomorrow cause it came out in Salmon:) I love my cousins. oh and maybe we will also go bridge jumping tomorrow. I haven't gone bridge jumping in way too long!! well I suppose that is all for now...

I just want all of my friends to know that I miss them like crazy and its only been a couple of days! but I am very excited to go home and to go back to work! Love you all!!

You're a Fox

alright.. so I have 7 tests left.. 3 tomorrow.. yeah I know it's pretty ridiculous huh?! Its time to crack down and study, but I felt like I needed to blog, so here I am sitting in my living room waiting for Pretty Little Liars (yes I love that show! Its thrilling and interesting and just funny to make fun of because these girls are so caddy. Its hilarious.. cause its so true. and there's like the popular guy and the nerdy guy. gotta love it) to start. Also me and Danielle are bashing each other on facebook, and it's hilarious because we love each other but it seems like we hate each other:)

Also.. this guy started talking to me through a facebook message, and needless to say he is very flattering:) I haven't felt that flustered since Brek.. which has been a very long time. I know nothing will ever happen with this guy because he goes to Boise state but just knowing that I can feel like that again makes me very happy. It's always nice to know that someone somewhere finds me attractive. Which yes is sorta shallow but sadly enough looks are important to me. Also.. its funny because Im doing a mass media project on body image and I probably have the worst body image of myself EVER. goodness gracious. Its a good thing I am doing this project.. maybe it will teach me a lesson. hahaha anyways.. so I feel pretty good about myself

I also have to pack and finish finals.. and do white glove. I have no idea how I am going to get done with everything I need to do... ahhhhh.. BUT I have a job and I start July 30th. woo hoo. Im excited that Primrose hired me back. It's awesome. Well new posts will be coming later. LOVE

PULLING MY HAIR OUT!

Dear everyone out there in the world...

Finals week in college SUCKS! I don't just say this because everyone else is telling me this but because I know. ahhh... I will have taken 9 tests from yesterday to next friday. That is a weeks time. This is clearly not acceptable. Don't teachers realize that I don't have enough time to take 9 tests during a weeks time.. especially since I am having to study for each individual test and I have 3 papers due on monday. WHOA I never thought I would be so over scheduled in my entire life! I seriously have my whole entire life planned out down to the second.

This morning I went to the temple which was much needed:) But it took us around 2ish hours to get in and out, which is fine cause I love being in the temple but I fell asleep around 4amish and then we had to get up at 730am. I am exhausted. I have been doing that ALL week. So I have scheduled a nap into my day:) I know what you are thinking... but research has found that taking a nap during the day makes a person smarter... and I could really use the smartness for this week! I would post my schedule on here but it would take too long to put everything up. I am just so stressed and not wanting to do anything right now:/

My mommy is going to be here on Sunday and I am super excited! That means my sisters will be here and they are going to stay the night.. and thats awesome EXCEPT that I have the lovely task of registering Monday morning at 1200am. WOOOO HOOOOO goodness... why the university would make us schedule right in the middle of finals is beyond me:( Anyways.. I have FHE at Bro Kerr's house in Idaho Falls, so that will be nice cause free dinner!!!! Then I somehow have to fit packing and WHITE GLOVE into my week of a bajillion tests.. yeah I am so freaking psyched!

I also am so ready to get out of this apartment.. me and my roommates are not getting along. I wont go into anything.. but yeah. I get to move to Birch in the fall with my Besties and I am so so so excited!!! Also I stayed off fb for like 5 days and now when I go on its just for a little and I've decided not to be on chat for a while.. I've been doing amazingly well with the whole Brek thing! Because I haven't seen anything about him on fb.. and he is too cool to talk to me anymore. So great! oh AND I have a job when I get home!!! I am excited! I needed a job and I was worried I wasn't going to find one.. But I have one:) and I get my OWN room! yaya! no more sharing for like 5 weeks! PaRtY! Kay well I really didn't schedule blogging into my schedule so this is eating up my nap time.. grrrr.... HAPPY THOUGHTS:) :) :) :) :)

New Hair...? I think yes:)

So this week has been ridiculously crazy! I took a test on wednesday and I got around an 85% which for that class is pretty amazing, and then I took at test on thursday and I have no idea what I got but I hope I got a 10/10 because this would be the absolute first one. thursday night me and Danielle went to the hair place to get her some bangs... and as I was waiting for her to be done I picked up a hair magazine and started flipping through it and I found a hair style that I have wanted for a super long time.... so when she was done I sat there just deliberating and looking at the picture in the magazine.. and Netti came and asked if we needed anything else, and I said I was thinking about cutting my hair and I showed her the picture and she said it would look really good with my face and stuff.. so randomly I got my hair cut. It was nice cause she shampooed it and I've never had that done before, it was lovely! and then she cut it and showed me stuff I should put in my hair to make it not so damaged.. and then she styled it and showed me how to do it, and I absolutely love it! I am very happy with the job she did! I now have a hair person here:)
yeah we are too cute. hahaha.... Last night was absolutely boring.. we had nothing to do and it was a friday night. Although we did walk down to walmart to get stuff for my hair which is like super soft right now! very nice. oh and we had our tournament friday and today. Me and Danielle played friday at 5pm and it was like super close. We had to go into a tie breaker, and we lost that 5-7. But there was cotton everywhere, it was like snowing cotton, and it was getting in my nose and eyes and my throat and eyes were starting to get swollen. It was weird cause that's never happened to me before and I was not playing very well:/ Since we lost we didn't get to play again but we went this morning to cheer on Kody who play 3 games in a row and she got 3rd place in the tournament of single players. I AM SO PROUD OF HER:)

Then me, Danielle, Kody, and Hannah went to twizzle berry and got some celebratory yogurt and it was funny because Kody and me both got one gummy worm and one cherry on our yogurt and then when we sat down we both sighed. HAHA I don't know why but it was soo funny! Then it started pouring rain so we had to walk home in the rain and I took my shirt off (yes I had two shirt on) and put one on my head because it took me about an hour to do my hair today and I didn't want it to get ruined. haha.. Im a nerd.

oh and last night I made Danielle watch New Moon because she had never seen it and after it was over I look over and ask if she wants to go see Eclipse with me and she's all YEAH. hahahaha so now I am going to go see it tonight with her and Erin:) It's crazy I still haven't seen it yet.

Sorry this blog is so sporatic but I just keep remembering stuff and I dont feel like going back up and putting it in where it should be. haha but I did homework for the first time on a friday ever. it was awesome. haha I have so much to do and so I figured I should start my homework early.. I have a ton of extra credit stuff to do for my Mass Media class, so this week is going to be super duper hard! and finals are SO SOON. ahhhhhhhhhhh.. Im not ready!

Miracles:
my hair looks hot, and I look a ton older:)
I got some alone time this week
The temple is beautiful and I get to look at it everyday
it just poured and it smells like rain now!
Kody got 3rd place in the tennis tournament
I started to read a really good book;)
I'M ALIVE!

You're a Grand Old Flag, You're a High Flying Flag....

Oh my goodness.. I haven't written anything in quite a long time. This weekend was just so absolutely busy and I was hardly ever on my computer!

Vikki came Thursday night and we went to Craigo's and then walked to my grandmas house to get the air mattress. Walking that back was ridiculous! haha 2 miles carrying an air mattress is not the funnest thing ever... and then we watched "When in Rome" which is such a freaking cute chick flick! I know I shouldn't watch them because they make me a little sad, but they are just SO cute!

Friday we played tennis and it was so funny because she hasn't played in a while so we didn't really get to play a lot, and then we went to see "A-Team" with Eric, and Logan. It was actually really really good. I didn't think I would like it but it was funny and it had a ton of action in it. Then we went to subway where I was the only one who ate anything... after that we (me, vikki, eric, logan, josh, and danielle) went to the park to play soccer but it was already dark so we just layed on the basketball court and then went and played on the play ground and then ended up talking about randomness for a long time.

Saturday was awesome because my grandma let me borrow her car so we went shopping at walmart and then we went down to IF. We were all super hungry so we went to Red Robbin and ate and then we drove on over to where they were gonna have the fireworks. We got there around 6ish so we had a couple hours to kill. We played a game of Phase 10 and then we played
"your team". Yes I know that game is kinda horrible but it was absolutely entertaining. Fireworks were lovely except for the fact that there was a tree in our way... After the works we decided it would be dumb to sit in traffic for about an hour or more and we were hungry so we went to Denny's and it was abosolutely packed in there. We were all super tired and we were laughing histarically and just being ridiculous. After we ate we walked like a mile to where we left the car and apparently I was being funny (which I don't think so but whatever. haha) so they like recorded me and then we left IF around 1:15ish. The roads were super duper clear:) Then we had to drop the car off at Grandmas house and walk the 2 miles home at 2:30 in the morning. We were walking in the middle of the road because it was scary and we didn't want to get raped or anything.

Sunday we went to church (minus Vikki) and it was weird cause they combined 3 wards together, since so many people were gone. I wore my really cute shoes and it was just grand. Then we had a bbq. It was pretty fun except that some people don't know how to behave in a social setting.. but we wont go into detail. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and I made jello which was yummy cause it was blue and then red and then whipped cream on top. and we had brownies. Just talking about it now is making me super hungry.

I ended up staying up till like 4am talking with Vikki and then I got up at 6am to walk her to the shuttle. Then I came home after saying goodbye and went back to sleep around 7 and got up at 11. I should have been doing my homework yesterday but I just didn't want to so I watched Hulu and just stayed in bed until Erin came over and then we went to Wendy's and Walmart where I got these amazing sports bras and then we came home and watched the Bachelorette, which was so good! I cannot believe there are only 4 guys left. Its crazy! and then I finally started my homework at like 10. It was crazy.. I was up till 4am again. I just love college with a friggin passion!

Today has been an interesting day. My head has been hurting all day and I am kinda going through withdrawals again. I hate it because I don't want to be feeling the way I am. There are tons of people around me going through much harder things and here I am thinking life is kinda hard. But oh well. There is about 2 weeks of school left. If I keep my grades up it will be awesome. and if I have a job when I got home it will be even more awesome. I need a break from this lovely amazing place! I didn't think I would ever need a break from Rexy but I need to get away from things to help me move on.. and getting outta here will for sure help!

I feel like I haven't done my small miracles so here it goes:
Erin got the cutest shoes the other day, and they just make me smile.
Vikki got to come visit me for a couple of days, and I have really missed her.
The sun was shining
I got to borrow my grandmas car for the day
I have the most comfortable sports bra to sleep in I have ever had in my life
I have the greatest friends in the entire world.
I looked up what ward I am going to be in and my church is at 9am. I am ecstatic!!!
I have slowly but surly begun to realize that boys don't need to be a part of my life;)

love you and miss you all.
