welcome to the city of sin

so its day five in las vegas. i met a boy on the plane here. his name is matt. i sort of am maybe attracted to matt. we made a bet. i won. we played a game. i won. i basically am just better at everything than matt.

in other news, vegas it hot. effing 110 degrees. but its not humid. yayyy for that. saturday night i went over to linda and troy's to have birthday cake for tj's birthday. he's so big! he's as tall as i was! i havent seen that guy for yearssss, like 9 maybe. and dereks hot. hes 7. im comfortable with that. then juelaine came over. and then she took me to her friend shelby's house. we played spoons with kyle and joel. then we went to in-n-out. i like that place. its delish.

monday night i went to singles ward fhe with juelaine and shelby and kyle and joel. i sort of feel a part of the group now. i like that. we played beach volleyball. that was enjoyable. except for i scratched my knee. ouch. then we went to juelaine's and ate; pizza, toy story 3 mac & cheese, peanut butter pretzels, the end. and then we went swimming. and hottubbing. and played truth or dare. i told a secret.

tuesday was sort of blahhhh. except i went to mimi's cafe with my grandma and her old lady friends. i got a sandwich and salad. yummmy. nada joy likes me a lot. she wants me to go see a movie with her and my grandma. thats funny i think.

yesterday and today ive been babysitting the foggs. they have four babies. well, two babies and two kids like 10ish maybe? the babies are madelyn and riley. yesterday maddie puked on me. today riley puked on me. i didnt know i had the effect on people. the puking effect. i made $108 though, so i suppose that maybe that makes up for the puke.

oh p.s. IM GOING TO ECUADOR :))) its official and im very happy about it.

fjdklaf; i like vegas, but i like kansas more

goodbyeee sexy rexy

well the day is finally here, IM LEAVING REXBURGGG! for the next seven weeks. i sort of have mixed feelings. i am so so so ready for a break. i neeeed a break. i cant wait to get to vegas where its hot, and i can wear shorts, and i can work, and i can see my grandma, and play with jujubee and do lots of exciting activities. haha and this means im closer to home! i miss my home. ive never liked kansas so much as i have when ive been off at school.

the was the best semester of my liiiife. yes, i know this is only my second. but it was amazing. i had the best time in the world. i came here with my bestfriend. i was blessed to have two other amazing (and normal, for the dorms) girls as roommates who i absolutely love. i got a good schedule, with good teachers. i got lucky and had art with my girl madi. i had science with jamie. i had book of mormon with court and i had spanish with amy.

i met some of the best people; blake, kat, skyler, jason, justin, riley, chris, will, zack, zach, b, betsy, chelsea, davy, nate, braden, jon, kyle, t'jae, shawn, tanya, etc.

fjdklaf; heres to spring semester 2010

"you eyes are kind, they kill as well"

im stressin. finals are this weeek. white glove was today. amys car broke and now i have to find a new ride to slc. blahhh i just wanna be done. i cant wait one more week. i hate this.

other than that, im prettttty happy. i finally have an A in humanities, and a good chance at getting my scholarship back. im officially going to ecuador (i mailed in my check and application last week). i have the best friends in the world.

last night blake and kat and i went to a dance party at the loft thing above cajun bobs. so fun. so hot. ive never been so hot. but it was funnnn. ry hugged me :) it was a big deal. haha but im gonna miss b & k. i like them a lot. we decided were gonna live together next spring and im pretty happy about that. we all have an understanding of eachother and we get along and we all have the similar un-fondness (thats not a word) for girls, so it works out.

ive hungout with chris like four times now. my favorite was time number 1 and 3. is that weird. i hate being a girl and having feelings. some days i like him. some days i dont. right now i dont. i miss brent. if i was home id be with him right now. were just not in the same place (not just literally) right now. and we want different things.

the other night there was a fire at inl and it made the sky look craaaazy cool. i didnt take any pictures cause my camera is broken. but i stole this one from janelle.

is that not the coolest thing youve ever seen? i like rexburg. im gonna miss this place. ive had the best semester. im comin back in 7 weeeks :)

i had the most fabulous weekend last weekend. but right now...

nap > blog, so its gonna have to wait.

fjdklaf; 14 days and counting

current musical obsession: "a drop in the ocean" by ron pope

and the beat goes on...

my happiness streak continues. haha im seriously so happy. i absolutely love my life right now. everything about it. i had a couple bad days this week, but i wasnt down for long. i have the best friends, the best family, the best everything.

last night me and amy went to patriots and pioneers, this choir/band thing. i had to go for my humanities class so i wasnt particulary looking forward to it, but it was SO GOOOD. it made me miss choir so bad. i miss select, i miss backrub thursdays, i miss sickel, i miss singing everyday, i miss songs that give me goosebumps, i miss our chicago trip, i miss the unity and the people.

but this was amazing. at the beginning we all sang "the star spangled banner" and it was incredible. i got chills. it was a good reminder for how blessed i am to live in this country. we have so much opportunity, freedom, pride and so many blessings. i completely enjoyed last night. i miss being in choir. me and bets decided were gonna do university choir next semester, i cant wait.

there is something i absolutely positively loooove about summer nights. i love driving around with the windows down, blasting music and singing along. i love shorts and tshirts. i love how perfect the temperature at night is. last night i went with justin and little john longboarding. i didnt actually go, i just drove them to the top of hills and followed them down. haha it was so fun. longboarding must be a rexburg/westcoast thing cause i swear people dont do that in kansas.

this weekend is going to be spectacular. blake and kat are in oregon :( so im all by myself. but its going to be just phenomenal. except for the fact that i have to take a science test that im confident i will fail. oh wellllll. tomorrow, fireworks, a cookout, a sleepover and the new 3oh!3 album will make everything all better.

fjdklaf; i love where i come from, happy fourth of julyyy

p.s. my current musical obsesssion... "im not the one" by 3oh!3
