Thanks Mister Narwhal

I love Christmas, it's true.

I will have had about three of them this year.

1. Christmas in July

This one was when I was out in California. A bunch of good friends joined in on the festivities. We had a marvelous time together.

Gingerbread Houses

Holiday Cheer

Sleeping under our makeshift Christmas Tree.

A Winter Wonderland.

2. A Christmas in Logan

3. Actual Christmas

Which is coming soon and I can't wait!

On a side note, last Friday night, my sister and I decided to go to California. So at 7:30 pm we packed up the car and drove through the night to California.

The plan was to stay at my sister's place, who I might add is SERIOUSLY AMAZING!

Thanks Kimi and Ryan and Elise for making our trip even possible!!!

So I actually have tickets to Disneyland, and focus of this trip was to experience Christmas in Disneyland.

Truly Magical, ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Happy Christmas Everyone!!

A John Wayne Christmas

Anyone else as excited as I am to see this for Christmas?

Granted, I still believe True Grit to be one of the... well... worst John Wayne films made. But I got all giddy inside when Davey forced me to watch the trailer. Perhaps the remake will do it some justice!

Christian, Davey and I have come up with the perfect plan.

Come Christmas day, noon time, we will treat ourselves by taking our families to go see this.

Where are you Christmas?

Also the girls and I got tickets to the Christmas Devotional down at the conference center. It was really pretty as they decorate it for Christmas, and the Presidency gave great messages that made me even happier for the holidays! Then we just had to walk around Temple Square to look at the lights. We got lots of great pictures, the fog made it look amazingly beautiful!

Ohhh Boy

It's cold so I take the bus home. Today I decided to take the 8th East Express bus, which I never take but it was there and I was sick of freezing outside waiting for the Stadium Express. This is where my story begins. I get on the bus, and if you've been on the campus buses, you know they get packed! So I'm sitting down and I notice this guy standing a little ways in front of me. I didn't know if it was my imagination or not, but I thought that he was looking right at me. I started getting stressed because I thought I knew him and just didn't remember him. But then I realized he really was looking at me. Soon we reach the next stop and people started getting off. The seat next to me opened up, and this kid came back to sit right next to me. I'd glance over and he's still looking at me. Then it gets to the point where we were like the only ones left on the bus. Finally he speaks up and says something after staring at me the whole way.
- So, I've noticed your wearing gloves.
I start laughing really hard.
- Yep, I felt like they were the right choice because, oh i dunno, it's -12 degrees? More laughter
- He chuckles a little bit and then replies with, Well, how am I supposed to know if you're married or not?
Boy oh boy, I didn't know how to react so I kinda laughed again.
- I'm not coming on too strong am I?
- Well, I've just never heard that one before. But no, I'm not married.
Lots of small talk ensues. His name is Ryan, he's a biology major, and other stuff.
- Well now I hope I'm not coming on really strong this time, but could I have your number maybe?
So my roommates and I decided to give the guys a chance, (since we felt bad about guys like pizza guy and other guys) and I gave him my number.
My phone is broken though, so it'll probably never develop.
But I love the guys that try out their own pickup lines. It makes me happy that they actually get used. We talked about more that we like and here are some great ones for you single and on the prowl people:
-If I told you your body was beautiful, would you hold it against me? (actually used)
-Kiss me if I'm wrong, but is your name Julie?
-Are you Jamaican? Cause Jamaican me crazy! (way cheesy)
We can't think of any more actually, so if you have any let me know!
Till next time....

Hello Mister Ten Below!

It snowed. Good ol Utah, bringin winter back yet again. I woke up to join in with my roommates singing, "I'm mister white christmas, I'm mister snow! I'm mister, icicle, I'm mister ten below. Friends call me snow miser, whatever I touch, turns to snow in my clutch. I'm too much!" as I notice there's 6 inches of snow outside. Because of this snow it's time to get creative. So based on this last weekend, I thought I would share some ideas for you to do to brighten up your rather snowy days.



1- Dance party. Just dance dance dance your heart out! It's a great way to get tons of people into your house and warm it up and have fun at the same time! Also save money on utilities because you turned the furnace off!



2- Pie party. I don't know why I haven't thought of this before! Imagine a giant get together with great people and everyone just brings a pie! I didn't have to eat a real meal for like two days I ate so much pie. The chocolate mousse with rasberry layer on top with an oreo crust was my personal favorite. Thanks to Rachel's neighbors who brought this gem into my life.



3- Decorate for Christmas. We already have our tree up (which is AMAZING I might add). Are we too early? Not at all, everyone loves Christmas, so if you think it's too early, you might be a scrooge.



4- Tis the season for some egg nog! I was quite skeptical about this idea, but it worked out great! We only had real eggs, so we made some homemade egg nog with a real egg, which like myself you would think salmonella, but I'm still alive and it tasted INCREDIBLY good!!



5- Sick of being wet and cold from sledding? Well, get yourself some mattresses, a stair case, and you have a nice warm place to sled within the comfort of your own home! This provided hours of fun last night as we fashioned sleds out of cardboard and slick pants. Caution, the key is the mattresses... Never try to go down the stairs with cardboard. You will flip over and quite possibly break your tailbone, or as Christian likes to say, give yourself scoliosis.



6- Go see Harry Potter.... There's my plug for it. I really did enjoy it. Go see it. Kids shouldn't see it however. Definately an appropriate PG-13 rating.



7- Want to learn chinese? Go through and make cards with different chinese phrases and put them all over your place. Want to say how confused you are today in chinese but don't know how to? Just find the microwave and BAM it's there! Wo Jintian hutu! This trick works with any language you want really. Next semester we might try italian.

8- Make a fort. If I've learned anything this past weekend, it's that you are NEVER too old to make a good old fashioned pillow and blanket fort. Then, make some popcorn and snuggle together under the fort and watch arrested development or a christmas story. The possiblities are endless!

These are just some ideas to get the ol noodle working. Should I be working on homework and studying for finals??.... yes, yes I should be. Alright, I'm going to go do that. Happy Winter everybody!!

Meet Whitney

She's one of my roommates...

She likes to sleeping bag sled with me...

She makes me laugh constantly...

She earned a whole new respect for latinos after watching an Enrique Iglesias video...

She LOVES "that's what she said" jokes.

She keeps me entertained...

She's had 153 flirts on LDSSINGLES.COM...

She wants a baby...

I love my life.

Blog?

Oh, that's right....

I have a blog.

Well, enjoy some pictures, and if you stick around, there's a hilarious story at the end.

First things first, my shameless plug. Look how fareakin adorable my niece is! Isn't she the cutest tiger you've ever seen?!

Now back to life.
All dolled up for Homecoming.
Gettin down 'n dirty in some puddin. (and when I say some, I mean alot)

USU is still how I remember it, fun and dirty. There's another part I remember too and I'm not so thrilled.. That's the cold...
I've mastered the art of blowing fire. Sacrificed some eyebrows and eyelashes, but I've done that before. They grow back... eventually. No biggie.

Oh, went campin. Good ol' Utah. This is up in the Uintahs, in the winter. WE Hiked, Polar Bear Plunged, Cooked amazing food, played in snow, and met some pretty amazing people. Amazing as in amazingly drunk hilarious rednecks. We could write a spectacular book with what we got from them.

Now time for that story.
See that kid in the picture below with the red apron, third from the left?
Well say hello to Pizza Guy.
That's what he is known by to my friends and I cause we are horrible with names.
But here's a little bit about Pizza Guy.
He's 24, lives with his parents, has worked at this exact pizza place for 5 years now and apparently can do whatever he wants and not get into trouble. How do I know this? He sat down with us in the middle of his shift and talked while we ate pizza. Awkward to say the least. But long story short he asks for my number and I reluctantly give it to him, and dash out of there.
Logan being such the small town that it was, you can guarantee I ran into him again.
One day, I was walking home from the library when I see this face in the distance. As I walk, I scatter my brain tryin to name this face. Then chills shot up my spine as I recall it. Pizza Guy.
Not wanting to get into the awkward conversation of, "Why haven't you answered my 13 calls and 2 texts?", I resourcefully think quick on my feet. In my hand was a Statesman, our school newspaper. Quickly, as we get closer to crossing paths, I pull the paper up as fast as I could and covered my face, "reading" the newspaper.
It seemed so natural, I thought I had gotten away with it.
Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Right after we pass I hear in the back,
"You mean the girl reading the newspaper upside down?"
He had pointed me out to some girl he was talking to.
I felt foolish to say the least, but I've yet to recieve a 14th call which in the end I think is for the best.

Oh how I love my life.

It's SHE &-freakin HIM!!!

When I saw the line-up for the Twilight Concert series, I knew without a doubt that this is the one I had to go to!!!!

I've been dreaming about this for so long and it's finally here!

Can't wait to see you guys again!

Farewell?

It's over..

It happened so fast.

I met amazing people.

Befriended many.

Was near family.

And shared many great memories.

It was an unforgettable experience, and instead of saying goodbye, I just want to say, see you later!!!!!

Maybe one day, I'll return to my new home in California.

People Watching

We all do it. It's a passion of mine and let me tell ya, Disneyland is the perfect place for it when you have to sit there and do nothing. The other day, as I was working one of the games, one little boy caught my eye in particular. He came running into my field of vision like an airplane with his hands in the air. Then, when this boy stopped, his finger immediatly went right into his nose. Then he started dancing to the music and when he stopped, like a magnet, his finger went right back into his nose. Then he would run around again and what happened when his mom told him to stop? You guessed it, the finger went right back up the nose. I was dumbfounded, the mom didn't even say ANYTHING about it! Needless to say, although very gross and disgusting, I had a good laugh about it.

MEEOW-Y CHRISTMAS!!!

Alright, so next week apartment 414 will be in charge of hosting the Christmas in July event. My roommate Janell, being in charge of creating the invite, decided to make a facebook event. I get home, and this is what I find for the picture of the facebook event. Be prepared to laugh aloud for what may seems like hours.

I loved it so much that Janell gave me an early Christmas present which was this new version of an already awesome photo!

Thanks J-Nelly for being amazing at making me laugh! :D

The Wiz Kid

Today me and Amanda made up a poem about a real life occurence we encountered.

There once was a little boy,

Who knew he could be so coy?

He ran around,

An expensive toy he found.

And instead of play with it,

he peed on it instead....

Poetry.

Martha Stewart Would Be Proud

The other night, I made cookies. Magic!

I actually don't bake but every now and then, I find it relaxing.

So after getting on the internet, which I've come to find is a great source from my sister Kimi, I found the only recipe I could use with all the ingredients we had and that was:

Sugar Cookies

Bon Appetite!

My attempt at making Mickey heads in case you were wondering.

Ta-da!

A giant heart, a "rhombus"/turtle hiding in it's shell, M.J., and the mushroom from Mario games.

Proof that I baked, there is flour upon my cheek!

You have to look really hard...

Pure Genius

So, my roommate, Janell, she's awesome.
She's introduced me to this website called 6dollarshirts.com.
It's exactly what you'd think.
They have awesome tees, and these were some of the tops.
I've been laughing for hours and feel like I need one now.
Look over these and put your vote in.
Some you may not get, but I still love them.
Viola'!

Really?! Really....

Time to set the scene:

I'm at work, it's nighttime, and i'm waiting to start closing up the store.

A couple comes into view.

Both are holding up one little ol gem stone each.

(We have a boat filled with cool looking gems to purchase.)

Me- Hey there folks, how can I help ya'll tonight? (Very High-Spirited)
The Lady- We would like to buy these rocks. JUST these rocks.
Me- Okay. Sounds great, except you would have to buy them for 5.29 so you should just fill up the bag so you can get more gems.
The Guy- So we can't just buy the rocks?
Me- You can, but you would have to pay the full price.
The Lady- Right but you see, here's the thing, as soon as we came into your store, we felt this mass energy eminating from the gems. We found these specific gems to be the source of this positive energy.
*I slightly chuckle along with husband*
The Lady- This is no laughing matter ma'am, this isn't a joke.
Me- I understand that, but I'm just saying how it works is you can only buy the bag. So you two could just put your two gems in one bag, and just grab some more gems. That way you can get more for your buck.
The Lady- But these are the only two gems that we feel the energy from. I strongly feel that if we were to have these rocks in our lives, it would greatly change them for the better. So how about we just give you like a quarter for each rock and we can be on our way.
Me- I'm sorry but I would still have to charge you full price. We can't make any exceptions.
The Lady- *Going Balistic Now* Well these rocks fall out of the boat all of the time and I'm sure kids just take them anyways.
Me- That's considered stealing like anything else in our store.
The Lady- So next time I should just steal them is that what you are saying?
Me- Not at all, I'm telling you to go by the rules and just purchase it like everyone else.
The Lady- So I just wasted my time coming here and telling you the truth and offering to pay for them when I could've just taken them. *Storms off to the boat*
Me- I appreciate your honesty, but you have to pay like everyone else.

I go to help other guests and can overhear them a little bit.

The Guy- Let's just go fill up a bag.
The Lady- No, that's ridiculous. I'm just going to do what I should've done.

Minutes later I see them leave, and don't have a bag to buy. Needless to say, I called security gave them the description of the hippy couple. I found out as we were closing that they caught them and they had stolen the rocks, two pairs of underwear from one of the kids packs of 8, and a dream catcher. Really people?! Really....

Can't Argue With That

So one of my friends at work, Eddie, was trying to figure something out one day.

For weeks he had been telling me that I reminded him of someone.

The other night, he got it.

He had thought of this little gem, Peppermint Patty.

Needless to say, I was dumbfounded. Really?! He quite honestly nailed it after much thought.

What do ya'll think?

Say Whaaaaa???

Imma Comin Home.

With this one of course.

Just decided it all today.

We're pumped.

Can you say,

"ROAD TRIP"!?

Daily, Nightly, and Ever So Rightly!

Life means...

Working in... cute little costumes.

Special Events such as Alice in Wonderland at the El Capitan.

Very amazing!

Crashing parties you don't belong at like a Photopass Pizza Party at Mickey Mouse's house.


Taking those cheesy pictures that everyone took like a couple of years ago... and still do.

Going to the Farmer's Market every Thursday after class to get a delicious crepe and various treasures such as a llama hat or a cheap bracelet.

Beaches, beaches, and some more beaches!!!!!

And becoming a Dapper Dan Man!!!

(I don't want no FOP, I'm a Dapper Dan man!!)
