Growlers CONCERT!!

So me and Channing Laufou were talking about how summer was a haze, and that we don't really remember AT ALL what happened during summer....but I keep forgetting I have a blog and I can actually record my life!!! And I would with a diary, but then my mom would read it. So I figured I might as well just put in on the internet...for everyone else to see. Including her. But we're just going to keep it from her, sounds good?

So I just got back from the most INTENSE and AMAZING concert ever! It was INSANE!! First off we get there (Landon and I) and there's a little folk country band. Not too shabby, then there was the Tulips. Go into the pit and get pushed around like no ones BUSINESS!! No joke, there was a guy on the ground with a skateboard that came up and hit me in the head. I still have a huge bump on my face but its a souvenir! And then just got pushed around even more and pretty sure I was on the ground a couple times. But it wasn't until the Growlers, the main band, got on...thats when it all went down....

Landon and Chad jumped over the wall into the pit because it was so full they weren't letting anyone down there, so about halfway through the show I followed them and once I got into the middle, a guy just kept giving me a thumbs up, so I just kept giving it back to him, and he finally said, "you go up?" and I still wasn't sure what he meant, so I said yeah and he and another guy grabbed my legs and put me on one of their shoulders and I was up in the air for a good 2 minutes until I landed on some girls. It was amazing music, got thrashed around. And then people started going up on stages and hugging the lead singer, and the show got cut short because of that. It was insane!!!!! That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

But other than that Merry Christmas to all!! Its Christmas EVE!!!! I still don't feel like it's Christmas, but that's because it doesn't snow, and hardly anyone put up lights because who knows why.

Just an update, for my terrible memory

I feel like my blogs like my pensieve from Harry Potter. My little storage cupboard of my memories.

BUT first things first. THE MUPPETS. Everyone go see it. It's amazing. I can't even begin to think where to start because I loved it all. Except this one scene that involved rapping for 20 seconds, but other than that....awesome!!

Its Christmas time!! We still haven't gotten a tree, and I don't think my mother wants one...sad day. Since apparently we're "all out of the house" there's no point. And apparently me and Brennon do not exist.

I went to Arizona for Thanksgiving! It was a shady hotel we stayed in, where there were lots of black people and smoking weed. But other than that, it was greaaaaaat.

Aaron has 11 months now. He is sending me a Christmas gift....and I wish I knew what it was.

Work work work work work. Yeah that's what I do in my spare time. That and roller skate...whaaaat.

The new season of Psych is AMAZING...and hilarious as ever.

I have a new friend, Ashly Hannah. She's awesome. She goes roller skating with me, since no one else will.

I'm in the bell choir. It's pretty fun. I just wish that I could do it forever!!! Like go on tour...thats possible right?

My knuckles are dry and cracked.

I want to travel somewhere, go somewhere knew. But like Ireland.

That's about it right now.

Many Reasons Why I Very Much Dislike My Singles Ward

1. The fact that there is drama

2. Everyone dates each other, and no one is attractive

3. The forced social get togethers

4. The forced social get togethers are planned at my house without my consent, and then no one comes over

5. That I carry on conversations with the leaders more than I do with people my own age

6. That everyone is getting married or engaged.

7. That I have to make small talk with my peers

8. None of the talks during sacrament meeting are even somewhat remotely about the gospel

9. There is a "cool" group

10. That my dearest Becca is not there to make fun of everyone there with me

BUT the only thing getting my through this is letters from Aaron Light, boy oh boy. He is doing awesome as well. I hope he never reads this, and he never knows how much I actually talk about him. Which is a lot. No one show him my blog. At the end of this month it will have been a year since he left for the MTC. I've never missed a week writing him, and hopefully I never do. I just like him a lot. Like a lot a lot. And it seems like he's never coming home because time goes by so slowly in Cypress. I blame it all on the Singles Ward. There is no other reason.

My Becca Boo is in Florida. And I secretly want to visit her, but times a tickin' and it's a lot of money. But it's Disneyworld and there's Harry Potter world too!! Maybe I'll just take my honeymoon there. Not with my husband, but with Becca, when she goes back to Florida to visit.

Nothing is happening except I still haven't seen the end of Iron Man. Which brings me to my trip to Utah. It was fun. Conference was fun! I got to go in for the Sunday morning sesh and see the Music and Spoken Words. (I think that's what it was called) But there are too many couples in Utah, and it's too Mormon for me. Rexburg is perfect that way. Other than that, it's just been work, work, and more work. And with this gloomy rainy weather, I don't really care to do anything else. No more beach...:(

Decisions, Decisions

Wow, I have not blogged in a looooong time. I have never been good at it anyways, so there's no worries that I haven't written in a long time. So first thing is first, life is good! Ups and downs, but for the most part it is wonderful. I just cannot wait to go back to Idaho. Which brings me back to my decision. I want to go back earlier than January, and there are some community housing, but I would have to get a job which wouldn't pay as nice as Dr Rummler's. And I do like Dr Rummler's but that is the only thing keeping me in Cypress as of right now. There is a community house that I might do, and I would take care of an old lady and work on the farm! Who knows though? Or I can just stay here and be sensible, and save up? But it's so boring!! I can do what I want!! HAHA!!

In other news....Elder Aaron Light is on his mission. It has been about 10 months, and isn't it supposed to get easier the longer there out? I felt pathetic because I watched The Other Side Of Heaven last night, and it's such a sad, hartfelt, funny, depressing movie. Yes all of those combined into one. I shouldn't have watched it, that was a bad idea. I am very jealous of him, because he is on an adventure that I wish I was living. But he is doing the Lord's work and he is loving it! And I wish I was with him. Just 2 more months, and then another year!! Shouldn't take too long right?

Summer has treated me well, from going back to visit Idaho, Palmyra and going to the lake! I just miss Kendra and Kelley so very much. Everyone really, it was so nice to actually hang out with people my own age. But mostly this summer I've just been working, which I don't mind at all. I love Dr. Rummler! Yes of course I have those days where nothing clicks, and never goes according to plan and I can't focus for some reason, but those are only once in awhile. I have been working there for a year now, so my contract is up to leave or not! Gahh!! I don't know what to do with my life anymore. All I know for certain is I am going up to school in January. That is one of the only things that is certain right now.

Well I must be off to another day of work! Monday through Thursday, and lovin' it!!

My Trip to PORTLAND!!...and part of Washington

Well, well, well....I have been gone for a little while. And let the record show that I did go to Ensenada, Mexico before this, but I did take pictures on my disposable camera (keepin' it old school) and I knew that Brittany was going to post all these pictures on facebook, especially the ones I liked. So what we didn't get pictures of was me around the city, which I love, going to the Farmer's Market, which was ALSO very amazing. It was like a swap meet for food, and you got to try all of these AMAZING foods which were all organic and fresh! I bought some smoked salmon which tastes awesome and some homemade pear apple juice, all organic, no added sugar. And I also got this little pixie stick shaped honey thing, which was SO GOOD. And we went to this amazing crepe place called Le Happy, best crepes I've ever had in my entire life. We went shopping but mostly to look and not buy because everything is super expensive because it's all little boutiques. The church is a little weird here because it's a branch, and you've got really rich fancy people and homeless, former gays and former girls that are guys and vice versa, which is freakin' sweet because where else can you find an LDS church branch likethat. My favorite thing about here is the food, by far. And the outdoorsy-ness of the city, and all the GREEN! Everywhere! But I guess rain is the price they have to pay in order to get all that green.
another place in washington.

this is me, trying to get the jammed key out of the lock. thank GOODNESS that the door opened, or else we wouldve left gretel, the dog inside there for awhile, and she wouldve thrown up, because she did oustide

the view from brittanys apartment at night, with the free lights i put around the balcony area. sooooo pretty to look at

our hike that we never went on!!

abbey road. dog style?

some place in washington as well with a gorgeous view. some guy took it and made it blurry but that is alright, you get the "picture"

this is in washington, and i really like jumping the same way in every picture. but its so fun

the view on the way to brittanys apartment

It's About Time I Did This

Yes, its been the ever so long waited of the LIST. yes the epic LIST of boys that somehow got their lips onto mine.

but there was a statistic that said on people kiss on average 43 people. and no i did not make that up to make my number would be about half that size.

Nonsense

Yes, this post is just going to be about nonsense. It will make sense, but I'm going to skip from topic to topic super quickly because I haven't posted in a really long time!!

So I got a letter from Aaron Light!!! Gahhh!! He is doing so well. He is getting better at the language, but just had a mission companion that was his trainer that wasn't the best person in the world, but by now he probably doesn't even have him anymore, cause that was back in the beginning of February. It's only been 5 months...but it'll fly by!!

Oh, I'm going to Portland, Oregon to go visit Brittany Zika!!! I am sooooo excited, and I've never been to Oregon so I can just cross it off my list of states! 10 down, 40 more to go!! Actually I'll probably skip a couple like Texas and Oklahoma. Those don't really appeal to me. But I'm hoping I can visit Becca Mattson in Florida!! I'm just going to be crazy as always and buy a ticket right now!! Actually no, I don't have the funds for that!

I'm going to Palmyra this summer! That's mainly why I don't have the funds for Florida. That'll be another state I can cross off!! I'm super excited for that!

The date for planning on going back to BYU-Idaho is constantly changing. Probably not the Fall now because I want to see my Becca, and I love my job so very much to give it up. I know, I know, I go to school to get a better high paying job, but I don't want to go through all that school yet. Maybe when Aaron comes back I'll be almost done with school. I'll just plan it that way. Yes, I'm a psycho girl that is secretly waiting for a missionary.

The number of boys I've kissed is 22. Jordan Claspell will be my number 23 victim, since he is in fact, 23 years old! I've never actually been the person to make the first move and kiss the guy, I've always been kissed for the first kiss, so this shall be an experience for the both of us! Hahah....but he needs to kiss a girl.

Lauren is coming home in 9 days!!! I am so dang happy about that too. She is going to be the best! Now if BECCA MATTSON just came home and stayed here, that would be just as good!

I'm taking an art class and a piano class at Golden West City College!! It's super nice to actually wake up to something, and drive to class! My piano class ends this Monday, but then I'm going to start taking this Circut Training class, which is a workout class.

Music! Might be my new major. I don't know what in it, but I doubt it will stick. I would love to work with music, and not making it, but putting it in movies and all that shiz! I don't know how to explain why I want to do it, but when I hear a song I can see where it will be in a movie. A lot of movies are either terrible or really good at putting music into movies. They'll either have it spaced out way too much or too squished, or they'll have a song that kills the mood or helps it. Or I'm going to be a food critic. Because I love food.

I really want to move to Portland. But I'm visiting Brittany so I can see what it's like.

Boys are gay. I know that's old news, but I'm done with them. I've given up! No man is worth while. This will probably last for 1 week until I meet someone. But seriously, lately no guy has been worth calling or making plans with. It's a kiss and then they won't talk to me for about a month or longer and then call up and want to hang out again. So I'm done with boys!

I love my sisters! They are all so great to me! I visited my sister Kaylene at work yesterday as a surprise and she was so happy! I love making them happy like that, but for some reason they ask me to do the strangest things(mainly my sister Kandice) and I don't really want to do it. They figure since I'm not married, don't have a real "career" and I'm not really going to school that I can do everything for them(still mainly Kandice) but I still have a life! It's ridiculous. But I love that I can visit them and just hang out with them.

Everyone keeps asking me about Chris and Morgen, and I honestly DON'T CARE! Every time someone sees Chris they have the need to tell me. I'm happy for Morgen because Chris is a good boyfriend, and she's never had a real boyfriend/relationship. I'm not mad about it because frankly, the longer time I would have spent with Chris, the more trouble I would have gotten into and the harder it would have been to get out of it. But Chris definitely has a type now, and that's MORMON. And that's good, because he has good taste.

I'm going to be running the 10k in Seal Beach!! I'm probably going to die, but that's okay!! I'm secretly training for Havasui Pai as well. I hope I spelled that right. My dad's only requirement is to run 3 miles in 30 minutes. I don't know what my time is right now, but I'm pretty sure I've ran 3 1/4 miles in 30 minutes. So just BARELY!! I want to go to Havasui Pai so badly though, just hopefully there are no flash floods when I'm down there.

I went snowboarding with Landon, and his cousin Chad, and Tino, who I kept calling Toni. And it got to the point where I was joking at first but then I really forgot if it was Tino or Toni. It was super fun! I got bruises on my butt, but it was worth it!!! I got really good towards the end of the day, which was an 8 hour day. Landon was gay and he used skis. So he wasn't sitting on his butt all day when he got tired, and his butt wasn't frozen like mine.

I'm modeling for Jan, David's mom. As well as Photoshop work. It's quite embarrassing. But she loves the pictures, so I'm there, getting paid, to wear aprons.

Well that's all I can think about right now. Adventures await me!!

Engaged People Make Me Barf

Seriously! I know I'll be just as gross if I get engaged, but seriously!! Everyone is. I don't know if it's just this time of year but in this past month 5 people I know, from BYU Idaho or here in Cypress have gotten engaged. That's probably an exaggeration, but I can think of 3 from Idaho right now. But that's all I have to say. Oh one more thing. STOP GETTING ENGAGED, PEOPLE I KNOW

How much is too much?

Kenzie is 3.5 years old! I cant believe it!

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Rylie Sue! She is hilarious!!

Letters are getting me through missing all the missionaries that are gone!!

Work, is work. But Dr Rummler, I swear, gets funnier everyday.

Seth McCarthy and Jordan Claspell are gone. I'm going to marry one of them. Not really, but it would be nice.

I'm hoping to start my "FUN" classes at Golden West Community College. That is, if I ever get off the waiting list. I just want something to do!

I cleaned my room today! I will deep clean it for "Spring Cleaning"

I kind of miss Idaho, but every time I go there, I miss California.

That's about it?

the new year?

yep, its two thousand and eleven. woo-hoo. just another. freakin. year. closer to the next year. yay.
