Family Foundations

I was reading a talk by Erza Taft Benson for my Family Foundations class, entitled "To the Fathers in Israel."
It's an AMAZING talk! I would definitely recommend reading it. This is the way President Benson talks to the men about loving their wives:
“Love means being sensitive to her feelings and needs. She wants to be noticed and treasured. She wants to be told that you view her as lovely and attractive and important to you. Love means putting her welfare and self-esteem as a high priority in your life.”

This quote makes me melt!! It is sooooooo true!
Anyways :) I just wanted to share that!! Read the Talk! ;)

Tie Dye!!

Hii :)
So, I've been tie dying a lot lately! Because Jed had to start a website for one of his classes.. so we decided to start a website on tie dye tutorials! We haven't gotten too far, because he's really busy.. but it's been fun!! :) the website is http://www.tiedyesoul.com :) Check it!!
I also had to research a lot for this, and I learned a lot about dyes.. and the dye I've been using is called procion MX dye (but I get the off brand at dharma trading company). It's really fantastic! You just need soda ash and some other stuff, but it looks so bright and stays bright!!
So I've been mixing my own dyes and making shirts :) This one is my favorite so far :)

I plan on doing a lot more too! Maybe tomorrow! :) I learned how to do peace signs, hearts, the V, and mandalas! I'll have to do some tomorrow and I'll post more pictures!
It's so much fun! I can't wait to show you more :) :)

Life Lately

Life lately has been work.. and some more work.. and sometimes Jed when he has time.. haha
Both of which.. basically suck.
And I've been sick since saturday! Yay!

But.. on the bright side, I got my hair done! It's not too much different.. It's just shorter and brown :) And I love having OTHER people dye my hair.. then it actually turns out the color I want it to be :)
I feel kinda retarded just posting pictures of myself all the time.. but I don't know what else to take pictures of... OH I've been doing ALOT of tie dye lately.. I'll post pictures of those!! Later......

Because life is kinda slow, when I'm not at work, I have a lot of time to study talks from general conference and lately a lot about temples! :) And since the Rexburg temple is just up the street, I get to go do baptisms every week! :) So blessed :) I'm so grateful for this time I've gotten, because I feel like I'm really preparing for my future! It's great :)

Hmmmm, Jed :) :) Um, he is basically amazing. He's such a great person! I am so so sos os os so os osooooo lucky! He takes care of me. Even though he's busy with work and school and everything else, I still get to see him everyday :) And that always makes me happy! But lately it's starting to dawn on me.. that he's leaving in less than two months.. which is really.. really.. depressing.. And I just don't know what to do! :( I guess I just have to wait... which sucks too.

Um, other notes..
-I've been listening to country! Shocking, I know ;)
-I think my roommate, Betsy, is scared of me..
-I CANNOT wait for Christmas :) :)
-It's starting to get cold outside.. Booooo
-I love all my roommates :)
-I'm FHE mom of our FHE group! Just basically my apartment and a boy apartment.
--I taught my first lesson for FHE at the bishop's house! SCARY! But it went well :)

My Boy Toy ;)



Yup! Jedadiah is officially my boyfriend :) :)
He is sooooo sweet to me, it's ridiculous. I've been sooo happy :)
Things have seemed to work out perfectly ever since I got to Rexburg.
I get to spend some time everyday with Jed :) Even if he had a super super busy day, he'll still come and say hi to me at work or for a little bit before curfew :)
I can't even explain to you how amazing he is! And I know I'm seeing him through rose-tinted glasses.. but he's just an amazing person!
I'm definitely one lucky girl!!

Subway and Stuff


~Soooo I've worked everyday since my first day on Wednesday. Which is awesome!
It's also been pretty borrrrring. The store has been slow since none of the students are in town yet.. Which makes me wonder how crazy it's going to be next week!
Apparently it's going to get crazy crazy crazy!! So I've been told... Greaaaaat
But that also means that I'm going to get roommates! Woo!! NO more being scared at night because I'm all alone... Scary sounds...

Who takes pictures of themselves at work? Um, me. Cause I was SOOooOoOOOOOooOoooOooo bored today!
~I really like the people I work with, at least during the week. But apparently all the old people don't work on the weekends.. cause they have kids or something... big whoop!! Juuuust kidding, I understand...
So that means that today on this lovely saturday. I got to work with a bunch of teenage boys. It was interesting. but even with them talking about how HOT the girls were at school(high school) and trying to flirt with me (which ended once Jed came in and kissed me, muahaha!)-- I had a pretty good day at work! They made me feel old. I mean really, 19?! I'm ancient!! ;)
I also get a free 6-inch whenever I work.. So that's always fantastic :) I like food! and cookies!! best :) Probably going to get me die from obesity, oh well- at least I'll die happy :)

~Sorry for the randomness- my blogging skills aren't fine tuned yet.
~So I'm just sitting on Jedadiah's apartment playing music, which seems to happen a lot :) I like when a country song comes on and he starts singing with it.. So cute :)
~I organized all my stuff! Everything is clean and has a place :) I love it! Feels so good! Maybe I'll take pictures? Hmmm.. later.
I'm happy :)
Missing my family though.. I love you all!! Wahhhhh

Subway Once More

So finding a job was easier than I expected! I worked hard yesterday, I turned in 8 applications and 5 resumes! And was about to go home to complete some more applications online and to turn in tomorrow(today) when I decided to try subway again (I went earlier and the manager wasn't there). I went up to the manager and told her I had experience working at subway before, she then took me in the back and shanked me. JUST KIDDING. She gave me a interview right on the spot and hired me! I start tomorrow!!
Now today's project is to clean a shower curtain, and organize my bedroom and bathroom stuff into my own sectioned off spaces of the apartment. I get first choice since all my roommates won't move in until saturday.. Hopefully none of them get mad!! I feel like I have too much stuff sometimes.. Maybe it's a good thing I came early so I have time to organize all my stuff haha :/

Daily Grind?

Back to Rexburg :) And it's pretty awesome!
Next up on my list.. Finding a job! Ahhhhh (screams)
From past experience finding a job is not fun or easy.. So these next few weeks will be interesting! But I don't have a choice when it comes to finding a job, because that's the whole reason I'm here! So wish me luck!!

On the back of his Motorcycle


So I guess I should post about my best friend that I meet up at college, Jed. He started out as my FHE brother, and ended up my best friend. He's helped me so much through some hard times I've had.. He's made me one happy girl! He makes me want to be a better person everyday.
He's funny, handsome, spiritual, respectful, smart, nerdy, understanding, loving, protective, silly..etc etc
Basically, he's amazing :)


We like to watch movies, play golf, ride his motorcycle, watch the discovery channel and cook together :) I pretty much spent everyday with him in July. Then when I came home, it was really weird!! Miss him a lot :) but I get to see him saturday!!

Talent Board

I've been involved with an organization called "Talent Board" up at college, and this last semester my friend Cassandra and I were able to manage a show together!

BROADWAY REVUE!
It was a lot of fun! A lot to do as well! We had meetings every week (sometimes twice or more), and we were responsible for having a theme, figuring out how we wanted the lights/sounds, programs, getting a committee together (consisting of Kahli), having judges for auditions, having all the paperwork for auditions, hosting auditions, choosing a set list, getting everything ready on stage, keeping a budget for props/food/etc, keeping the show organized before, during and after, and doing whatever was needed to put on a good show! It was really fun!


There was some amazing talent that showed up and got into our show! And some amazing people :)


I got to MC for the show :) With my handy side-kick, Jed, backstage to keep me from completely loosing it!


Roommates!

I had some awesome roommates! They are both super cute and fun to be around, and we all became pretty close friends and did a lot together.


This is Kahli!
A gorgeous red-head that has fantastic taste in music, she's very entertaining to be around because not only can we just talk and talk, but she's prone to accidents. I got to know her pretty well since we were roommates for two semesters straight. :) She was nice enough to be my model this last semester. We had fun with it! We'd just go out and find interesting things to photograph, she was a lot help to me!



And here is our beautiful Betsy,
the new addition to the dorm! She is a sweetheart and always so kind :)
She's from a small town that's similar to Cedar City, so we had similar high school and boy experiences, which was fun to find out. I honestly thought we wouldn't become good friends because she was so girly... haha Well, I got more girly, and we got to know each other. And then we became pretty close friends! (And I'm rooming with her this next fall at Birch, so excited!)
This last picture is of Betsy and our basically adopted roommate, Nathan!
Nathan and I became friends about halfway through the semester and he started coming over a lot.. He was at our dorm almost everyday! And he treated us all like his little sisters :) aww.. how cute ;)

Transitions

I'm currently in a transition from going to college, coming back home and then leaving again.
I'm transitioning into becoming an adult as opposed to a teenager (I still think I go back and forth sometimes haha).
From t-shirts to blouses.
From sandwiches to casseroles.

I really don't feel much different. But I am really excited for my future :)

Well looking back, I'm done with my first year of college! :)
I look some more pictures for my photography class :)

For one of my projects I did a montage of trees,
so I took ALOT of pictures of trees!

These two were for a light assignment:

Next Up: Roommates and Friends :)

College.

As my winter semester has been coming to a close, I've been looking back on my beginning experience of college. College isn't as hard as I thought it'd be.. But maybe I've just been extremely blessed this semester.. but my classes haven't been hard.. and my roommates have been amazing.. Cooking isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.. haha. One thing that has been hard is money.. But a job could fix that!
I'm very excited for next semester.. My classes are going to be super easy..... And i'm taking a golf class!!
Things I have learned about myself:
1- I need my sleep.
2- I need my alone time.
3- I need the gospel in my life- I need my Savior.
4- Pet Peeve: When people take things lightly that should not be taken lightly.
5- I really like soda.
6- I talk, laugh, make weird noises and fart in my sleep.
All in All, I really like college! Especially here at BYU-Idaho.. Which is surprising.. because I thought I'd hate it here.. But it's been the best thing for me, and has changed me for the better :)
Yay Life!
End of Story.

Aunt Flow

I honestly like being a girl! Surprising, I know. But it's got it's perks!
Then sometimes being a girl. Just freaking Sucks.

Friday, February 26, 2010

idk.

Oatmeal cookies dipped into chocolate fudge frosting? Amazing.
Boy next to me in sociology sitting way too close? Not amazing at all.
Science class being so boring that I have to slap myself to stay awake? Not good for my health.
Being friday and being able to sleep in tomorrow? Gives me hope I can make it through.
Still having a lot of homework and things to do before I can nap? Not cool.
I WANT A NAP.. please?

XYZ

So, I understand why zippers were invented.. But I do consider zippers to be one heck of an awkward thing. Especially when a zipper is not in it's apportiate place.
The other day, I was really late for class.. But I also really had to use the ladies (as my roommate Kahli would say). So obviously zipping up my red jeans totally slipped my mind.
I ran to class, making quite a loud entrance.. I rather dislike being late to this class because it's one of those classes that face the door.. So all eyes are on you from the moment you open the door until you settle. This particular class is a very quiet for three reasons, they were 20 minutes into the lesson already (I had a good reason... promise), it was a very spiritual class (my Book of Mormon class), and it was quite a small class. After I got situated, took off my coat and got my scriptures out- I look down to find my fly wide open. I pulled down my jacket and zipped up my pants, in my brillant sneaky way.. or so I thought until it made the loudest zipping noise and the girl two seats away whipped her head in my direction. Not to mention that I sit in the front of the class.
Really?
I'm sure you've had this experience before.
Just thought I'd share.
