Noname

Guess what! I have a new nephew! He was born Thursday October 2, 2008 around 8am, he was 7 lbs 2 oz. While my sister-in-law was pregnant she never found out the gender of her baby but she was pretty sure it was going to be a girl, my brother also thought that it might be a girl. So my sister-in-law Maria got out all the pink clothes and thought of a very cute girl name. Well Thursday morning comes around and out comes a beautiful baby boy, WHAT A SURPRISE! They've had such a hard time naming him, they hadn't really thought of boy names...so it's almost a week later and he still doesn't have a name. Josh and I call him Noname, get it? Well here's a few pictures of the cute little nameless child!

Here's his big brother Christopher holding him!

Here's his big sister Rachael holding him!

Here's his oldest cousin Emma holding him!

Too much energy!

Here are some of my crazy friends messing around in one of our friend's backyard!

Cars+Friends= A MESS!

Last night some of my friends decorated my car! I had to hurry up and clean it all off before I went to breakfast and conference this morning at a friends house! My neighbors were making fun of me as I pulled Oreos off of my car! It was fun to feel loved though! Here are some more pictures!

Vbal Gal

So on Friday night I played volleyball with some of my friends and I rocked! I haven't played in so long and it was soooo fun! I was getting hard serves in and getting some great hits! My friends play every Wednesday but I have class...sad day! It made me happy that yes I am getting older but I haven't lost it!

Beautiful Grace!

Here's me trying to get Gracie to look at my phone! Sorry my voice is annoying in the movie, but Grace is sure cute!

Christopher and Rachael Dancing

Here's a video of my niece and nephew dancing in my room, it's not the greatest quality because I recorded it on my phone...

Where's my friend?!

so p.s. I'm sitting here listening to music at 1:45am and my music isn't soft, I can hear it in the bathroom as I'm brushing my teeth...but it doesn't matter...no one can hear it...Jason's gone...it's sooooo sad! Here's my countdown until he returns 730 days... I probably shouldn't make a chain for that yet, you know the ones you make for christmas and you cut off a piece everyday 'til Christmas...maybe next year...

Anatomy=Yuck

So I have decided that school is hard, especially when you only start studying for a test the night before! So if you understand this:

call me! Except the fact that by the time you read this I'll probably be done with my test... too bad...

But I do want to say that I have an awesome brother. My brother Chris was studying at the MCC library tonight and he was leaving when he passed my dad's car (which I had driven) in the institute parking lot, so he called me to see where I was since it was after 10. Lo and Behold we had both been in the library just on different floors. Well we talked for a moment and then he got in his car and started home. Well a couple miles down the road he was impressed to return to MCC so he turned his car around and called me and told me to meet him in one of the study rooms of the library. He was soooo much help! The poor guy stayed up way later than his bed time to help his little sister... Thanks Chris! He helped a lot and tomorrow morning I'm going to go study too...school makes me tired!

Ode to Jason

Well my brother Jason left for his mission today! He's going to Portland, Oregon. He's going to be an awesome missionary! He and my parents are flying up to Salt Lake City this morning and then driving up to see my sister in Idaho before they drive down to Provo to drop him off at the Misssionary Training Center on Wednesday morning. I'll miss you Jason...

Blackbeard

Well my brother Josh is the play "Blackbeard" and my family and I went to go see it tonight (well technically last night because it's now early morning, but that's beside the point). And it was soooo great! The music was fantastic, but really what else would you expect from Rob Gardner (Joseph Smith the Prophet, He is Jesus Christ, 12 Princesses, etc) who wrote the music and lyrics for the play. The story was great and it all went together soooo well and of course I LOVED IT because it was a total chick play, very much a love story! It's playing all this month in Phoenix and I would suggest that anyone go see it, especially for a date if you want the girl to be putty in your hands afterwards! p.s. I don't mind seeing it again *wink*wink* haha jk...

Music changes!!!

Well I hope ya all like country music, because I finally changed my music on here!

Books...

So on Wednesday I lost two of my school books! Ahhhhhh! I had had a test in Psychology and finished it in good time so I thought that I might discover all that MCC has, which is more than I would have thought... But anyways I went to the cafeteria place and bought something to eat while I waited for my next class, then I went to another area and started watching a baseball game on tv...just wasting time, because heaven forbid I actually do homework in between classes! Well I get to my Anatomy class listen to my boring teacher drone on and on and then at the end of class when I was packing up my stuff I realized I didn't have my Psych or Anatomy book!!!!! Where could it be? I had been to several different places before I went to class! So I decided to skip Anatomy lab and go find my books. Well I walk outside and it is literally pouring cats and dogs outside...my luck I know! So I see that it's not going to stop anytime soon so I just start running in it, I ran for like a minute and when I got to the cafeteria I was SOAKED (on a side note, it's really conveniant that I wear crocs to school and it's been raining a lot lately, crocs=wet feet)! Well the place I had eaten was closed but the place I had watched tv wasn't so I looked around there and, yep you guessed it, nothing! Well I talked to a guy that was working there and he said that a janitor had found something and taken it to security so maybe it was my books, optimistically I called the security office and nothing. Well I started talking to a guy who worked in the office who was sooo nice and offered to call the security office in the morning and see if there was anything, so I gave him my name and number. He looked at my last name and asked who my parents where, ends up he's married to my aunt's sister. Small World. Well the next day after work I went to the security office and started talking to them, see if anyone had found them. Of course not! I was so frustrated because I knew that one of my books has my name and number in the very front so someone would for sure call if it was found and they were honest people, but nobody called. Well the security office decided I should just put in a claim that they had been stolen, so I went through all of that tedious stuff and was not very optimistic this time. Well the guy I talked to gave me his card and told me to call him the beginning of next week if I haven't heard from him, well this time I looked at his last name and well he's my uncle's cousin, he's been to my house before...the world is now getting smaller! Well after that I went over to the cafeteria knowing my books wouldn't be there because they would have for sure turned them in by now, it had almost been 24 hours since I'd lost them. Well I went in there and asked the same lady who had been there the night before if she had seen any books and she asked me what my name was, I told her and she said that she did have a book that had my name in the very front! Thank you for writing my name in books!!! She made me show her ID to verify the name but then gave me my books! Thank goodness! I got lucky this time, no more leaving my books places from now on!!! So now I can actually do my homework and study, ugh...

Long story I know...sorry...

Institute Opening Social

Well Friday night MCC had it's opening social. It was way fun! But I realized that I have the biggest problem with talking to boys! Don't get me wrong I talked to a lot of boys...but I already know them all! Does that count?! I guess I have just way too many guy friends because I don't feel like I need to get out of my bubble!

Well anyways I had so much fun talking to my friends and helping Brenda King (she's on Institute Council so she was way busy because she was in charge of the activity) with random things. Then she realized that she was supposed to be taking pictures and that she had totally forgot, so since she was busy I just took her camera and started taking tons of pictures! You can find them all on her facebook and I'll put a few on this post. It was fun though because I would just go up to a random group of people and ask if I could take there picture! Everyone thought I was crazy, which in a sense is true! Brady Weston was very nice to pose for a few shots also, haha he did a good job of entertaining me!

After the Institute Social Brenda, Jeff Brinton, Ted Sowards, Kirt McKay, and I were really thirsty (because they had run out of cups at the activity) so we went to walmart and bought orange juice and cookie dough, a very random combination I know! We stayed outside in the Parking Lot for a couple hours after that just talking, listening to music and passing the OJ around! I think of the three, Tropicana, Some Florida kind, and the Naked Orange Juice, I liked the Naked one better! We figured this is how mormons get together and drink... So the last picture is of some of us at Walmart, and yes we really did sit in those as we talked!

Back to School

So I've taken the last year off of school and let's just say I liked it... a lot! Not having homework agrees with me! Well I started classes on August 25th and it's...well...classes...what more could I say! I'm taking Intro to Sociology, Intro to Psychology, Intro to Communications, and Anatomy and Physiology. So far I've had two weeks of all the classes and I remember why I took a whole freakin' year off! But I'm sure it will get better! At least now I actually know what I want to go into, Dental Hygiene! Well I'm sure I'll keep you updated on how the semester goes, it's definitely something easy to complain about!
