Missionary Mail!!!

A few weeks ago, I sent a quick letter to my friend Mitch who is currently serving in Washington State, on an LDS mission. I met him this summer and we weren't super good friends but we friends....not like lets hang out all the time, but friends....ugh no matter how much I reiterate that to some people here they just make fun of me, but anyways....I sent him a letter. I didn't expect him to write me back, just cause we weren't really good friends....like I said before......but anywho, guess what came in the mail a few days ago!!! A HUGE LONG LETTER!!!! AND PICTURES!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! So now, everyone is making fun of me and saying that we were ment to be and all that jazz! I didn't think he was going to send me anything and he sent me PICTURES, PICTURES PEOPLE PICTURES!!!!!! I was super, well am, super excited to have gotten them, but pictures....we weren't even that good of friends! :) But I guess moral of the story is, missionary letters are fun, even if you weren't expecting them and if it starts a WHOLE BUNCH OF GOSSIP IN YOUR WARD!!!! :-P yup....come on people....we're just friends..... :)

Archaeology! Woot Woot!

So, today I had the opportunity to help dig the old foundation of the old old tabernacle. :) I felt like a real archaeologist! I took buckets of dirt and poured them over screens in order to see if there were any buttons, nails, plaster, etc. still left in the dirt! It was soooo cool!!!! I mean I'm not even a archaeology major yet and I had the opportunity to help with a once in a lifetime church dig! There are only 3 other church history digs that have happened in the whole entire world!!!!!! I mean I'm sure they have uncovered some ancient nephite temples or whatnot, but a real pioneer history dig....there are only three in the whole world! AND I GOT TO HELP!!!! Even if it was only for an hour!!!!!   Here is some more information about the dig! Just click on the words information about the dig and it will take you there. Kinda cool eh? AHHHH and to add to the nerdy factor of this post, I got a provo library card today and it has a dinosaur on it. No big deal haha :)

Yup that's my library card....yes....I am 18 :) Oh and by the way....I dyed my hair.....

Walking With Angels!

This last week Deb and I had a heart to heart over chips and salsa. She was talking to me about this interesting book she had read that talked about walking with angels. Her theory was if you see anyone that 1. Looks familiar to you 2. is a "beautiful" person (not really looks wise, but spirit wise) 3. You feel the need to talk to them. If you see these types of people you NEED TO TALK TO THEM! They have something for you that YOU need to learn.  An example she gave me was this girl in her Book Of Mormon Class. She met this girl in one of her classes, took one look at her, and thought to herself I need to meet this girl. Deb went on to tell me that this girl in class gave HUGE insight and just wonderful words of support, love, gospel learning, etc.  After the semester was over Deb saw the girl on campus and went up to talk to her. Deb then said that it just wasn't the same. That "angels" time was over. Deb knew that this girl could stay her friend but she didn't really have much to teach anymore. Angels in our lives come and go, but when you meet one, LISTEN! I want to try to meet some angels. Hopefully I can be brave enough to talk to them. I thought this was an interesting concept and want to see how it can affect my life. Deb is wonderful! :) Who are your angels?

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

 Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day with those you love.  I have never really particularly liked Valentine's Day, and just because I have a boyfriend does not mean I have to like it a lot, because I still am not a huge fan... and it doesn't help that the boyfriend can't come down for dinner or anything tonight!  But thanks to my wonderful suite mates and roommate, the spirit of  love is being felt all around our dorm today! :) <3 

This is what happens when you have an art major roommate everything becomes 100% more creative! (Door decorations thanks to Darcie Bishop) 

I wish I got a full door shot! :P 

This is what happens when we are trying to pick out an outfit for Deb for her FIRST KISS DATE!!!!! 

Just eating chocolate and enjoying life! :) 

More Deb dressing developments! haha 

"Bring our face balloons so we can watch you the whole time! So you keep the honor code!"-Jacqueline  "I keep the honor code?! You need the honor code!" -Deb  (After Kristin brought out her sparklie booty shorts!)

Dancing for Deb :) 

Disco Ball shorts! hahaha :) 

Feeling the love! :) 

This better happen or we will be sooooooo mad at Deb for not kissing that wonderful boy!!!! 

Deb's date/kiss kit! :) haha 

My cute little Valentines! :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!! 

High Five For Friday!

So there is this blog I have read, The Small Things. The author had a very fun idea that she borrowed from another who probably got it from another blog, but you get the picture. Anyways, Its just every Friday you write the 5 best things (or worse) that have happend during the week! So.....here it goes! 

1) Café Rio Wednesday! Deb, Cassie, Erika, and I went to Café Rio for dinner! And, OH MY GOODNESS! It was so delicious! So much better than college food!  Delicious! :) Yum Yum :)

2) DEB! So my NEW roommate is pretty much the bom.com! She met this boy (might I add that he is an RM) on the 4th of February! And she has gone on 5 dates with him already :) So this week has just been really exciting with all her developments in this relationship!  (Oh and I got Shaye's boyfriend to take her on a REAL date! ) Love is in the air my friends! :)

3) I totally have a double front flip completely under my belt, thank you very much! :) 

4) I got to do some real archaeology stuff this week! (Another blog post coming)

5) I started the woman's study and will get paid this coming week! :) 

Yay for the week!!!! 

Space Capsule!

People of Bikini Bottom....I mean....the world....I started this BYU study today. (and I get paid for it!) its a study where people monitor how much a female's BMI changes, is influenced etc. during college.  So, today I got to sit in this cool looking space capsule to get my body mass information! Using pressure, my BMI or something is calculated. I guess normally this type of test is expensive to get completed, but I get it FOR FREE!!!! (Insert Poor College Student Joke Here) Anyways, I felt super cool and clausterphobic, but we'll just glance over that aspect shall we? Then I had to take some survey thing that, in my opinion had nothing to do with health! Most of the questions were like, out of these two choices how would you act if you forgot your significant others birthday? Option A: I'm really busy and forgot to check when it was or, Option B: I was really busy. Another example, Your boss gave you management over a big task. Option A: I'm really self-centered and am the best for the job (Ok it didn't saya self centered but you get the picture) or Option B: I just did something similar really well! Either one you pick you look like a conceited jerk! And then you start thinking to yourself, oh no, which one do I pick to make myself look better, these people are judging me, do these questions hurt my results?!?!?! WHAT DO I PICK?!?!?! Very stressful, then you get to the part that's like record everything you ate in the past 24 hours! Um, lets see here, 20 million cookies and cream bars, etc. etc. (insert another poor college student joke here) (might I add that I have yet to gain the freshman 15 :) Loosing pounds on this girly!) Anyways, apparently I get am stronger than average girls (FTW!) For this next week, I have to wear an accelerometer, and let me tell you its one of the most uncomforable things on this planet and it doesn't help that my skin has been super dry and it keeps rubbing up against my skin. I can't take it off when I sleep! How am I going to sleep on my tummy with a huge brick attached to the front of me! But I have to wear it to get money. Oh well....  I guess that's life   

                                                     

                                                              Stupid Brick :P

                                                  

                                                                            Bod Pod! Hater's Gonna Hate! 

Ice Ice Baby

Last night, some friends and I went ice skating for a little fun activity! It was so crowded, I guess thats what we get for going on a saturday night in a bigger town! They had to Zam the ice 3 times during the 2 hours we were there! That is absolutely a CRAZY amount of zambonie-ing haha. But anywho, I REALLY love skating! My hockey class is so much fun! I honestly am seriously considering joining a girls league, or just going a few more times a week than just my class. After we skated we went to Baskin Robbins! :) And I ate the most delicious 2 flavors of ice cream on the planet!  I of course got Peanut Butter and Chocolate for one scoop! But there was one that was the flavor of the month, and so I decided to get a little sample and oh my goodness it was amazing! The flavor is called Superfudge Truffle, and this is the description, "Indulge in our double chocolate fudge ice cream with soft chunks of chocolate ganache and toffee truffle pieces." IT WAS HEAVENLY!!!! SOOOOOO GOOD! Ah, I must resist temptation to get more, since it is just right across the block from me. And I have a frequent scooper card....Oh chocolate...you will be the downfall of me!!! :)
