laughing on the inside.

today i was sitting in my finance class and this boy, excuse me... man in front of me was looking up recipes on the Taste of Home website for pumpkin bread. it was pretty funny because this guy looked like such a guys guy, but apparently he was feeling a little in touch with his baking side today. i really wanted to laugh out loud but decided that would not be appropriate.

best friend.

my best friend will be getting married in a little less than 4 days. i am freaking out inside. i love her. we have known each other for almost 5 years but if feels like forever. as you grow older, you realize that some friends will come and go and some will be forever. she is one of my forever friends. i love her and am excited for miss kindred and mr. gavin. i cannot wait to be in california in about 30 hours and 24 minutes to be there with kelly jo. she has always been there for me. we have had so many good times. late night del taco runs. driving around provo for no reason screaming at the top of our lungs to damien rice. grey's anatomy all night long with meg. sushi. accompanying kelly to indie dance parties and looking like an idiot. brownie trifle. making her take pics at the beach. sitting on the phone for hours even if we aren't talking just so we can pretend that we are sitting together. crying together. laughing together. loving it all and not being able to wait for more fun hilarious crazy memories.

love you kelly jo!!!

Team Taylor

I meant to write about this last night, but I just was watching the news and was reminded of this fabulous event. At the VMAs on Sunday night, Kanye so kindly got on stage and spoke highly of Beyonce. Oh wait... Taylor Swift was on stage accepting HER award for best female video of the year when Kanye stole the mic from her. Poor Taylor! If I was Taylor, I am not sure if I would have cried or punched Kanye in the face. I'll tell you what... Beyonce should have gotten on stage and used some of her butt-kicking moves from her movie "Obsessed" on freakin' Kanye. Kanye will no longer be on my iTunes or iPod... I never really loved him, but he had a few tunes that I would shake it to. My Kanye days are over. I just saw on CNN that President Obama called Kanye a "jackass" when he saw what Kanye did to sweet Miss Taylor. I am pretty sure that Obama's comment about Kanye is the first thing I have agreed with the President on. One of the best comments about what Kanye did was from a friends's facebook status saying the following:

"I hope Kanye doesn't show up to Patrick Swayze's funeral. and say 'i'll let you get back to your

funeral in a minute.. but Michael Jackson had the best death of the year. just sayin'"

Team Taylor!!!

tiny bubbles... well not so tiny

I don't mind doing the dishes. I actually enjoy it most of the time. This new love for dishes has only been since coming college. (sorry the love didn't come sooner mom!) Last night at about 11 pm I decided to fill up the dishwasher. I got all the dishes loaded up and then went to put the soap in, BUT we didn't have quite enough dishwasher soap. I decided that I would just add a little dawn dish soap. umm... BAD IDEA of the century!!! Don't ever do this!!! Bubbles galore outside of the dishwasher. The clean-up and scooping out of bubbles was not a fun job at all especially late on a Sunday evening. I probably am not smarter than a fifth grader, but I do attend a well respected university. You would have never guessed from this story. Today I told my mom what I had done and she said she did the same thing when she first got married. So at least I won't make this mistake at marriage. Don't worry... I decided to read the bottle of Dawn after I had a mess on my hands and it states, "NOT FOR DISHWASHER USE." Oh... Perfect!

i LOVE football.

i LOVE football in general, but the game of football is always more enjoyable when a team you love is playing. i LOVE byu football. they kicked some boom boom today and made me proud. i am a true fan. some friends and i went to the provo airport at 1:20 am and waited to greet the team at 2:00 am. the crowd was chanting b-y-u and bronco. it was loads of excitement. we sang the fight song. it was great. i felt so proud to be a cougar. here is to the beginning of a beautiful season.

GO COUGARS!!!

WEDDINGS... I love them!!!

Here is a compilation of wedding festivities I have had the privilege to attend in the last like 5 months. Anyone that knows me knows that I attract weddings, but it is ok because I LOVE weddings. ( I have married off 11 roommates in my college career)

My old roommate and one of my very best friends, Holli and her husband Abe on their wedding day on April 1, 2009. It was a beautiful wedding and my very first trip to Texas! Holli and Abe were married in the San Antonio temple. I was honored to be one of Holli's bridesmaids and I just love Holli SOOOO much. We have had many great times toge

ther as friends.

This is my old roommate Ally and another one of my very best friends. Ally got married on May 16, 2009. I love this little sweetie tons! She is amazing. She got married in the Oakland temple and her reception was at her home in Palo Alto, CA. I had a fun stay and trip to Northern California. Her wedding was gorgeous and I am so glad I was there to share in Ally and Eric's special day.

One of my oldest friends from high school, Syd got married. Yay! This picture has a ton of the girlfriends from high school. Syd's was the most recent wedding on August 15. It was a TON of fun. Syd and Josh were sealed in the San Diego temple and the reception was at home in Temecula. It was great to see a bunch of old friends and to see the happy couple.

RANDOM thoughts and recent events...

So... I have not posted forever! I am just going to throw out a bunch of sentences that may not make a ton of sense, but will be just a little update to my life. Here we go!

I absolutely LOVE cold cereal. I really truly love it. The other day I ate Reese's Puffs for breakfast, Lucky Charms for lunch, and Honey Shredded Wheat for dinner. May seem gross, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My family switched to fat free milk, which I believe to be a sin to put on cereal. Since I have been home, I buy 1% milk and put my name on it in the refrigerator (just like with my food in college, it helps me feel a little more independent). Yep, I can be a little high maintenance at times.

These past couple of days I have spent a lot of time reminiscing with old friends. I LOVE my friends, they are some of the best ever. I went to Syd and Josh's wedding this evening and it was a beautiful event. It was a great time filled with much love and happiness. College is great, but it is really nice to come home and see old familiar faces and even sometimes meet some new ones.

I love to dance. I do not care if I look like a fool. I have a ton of fun shakin' my moneymaker! I LOVE it!

I LOVE weddings. I know that sometimes I complain about going to so many weddings, because I have been to a ton but I really do love them. I love all the happy people, the flowers, the cake, the decorations, the planning, the love... I LOVE it all! I have a confession. I buy wedding magazines and books all of the time. I am nowhere near getting married so go figure. Although, my ultimate dream job is a wedding planner.

P.S. My major is business finance so we will see how I will work the wedding planning in.
