Life is very fun right now. I only have ten more days of class. How bizarre.
Last weekend I went to Holi, a Hindu religious spring festival also known as Festival of Colors. It was... interesting. The temple was really beautiful and there was so much crazy all around me and the chalk was kind of disgusting but the company was delightful so overall a positive experience.
Also Jordan met the fam! Over skype that is. Which still totally counts. Dang I think my family is funny. It started out just mom and then one by one the family members trickled in. It was great.
But other than that my days have been filled with studying, Draw Something & Scramble with Friends, Justin Beiber's new song "Boyfriend", Fugitive, time with the gparents, watching the first season of Modern Family etc.
It's so nice that even though I'll be going home for the summer, some of the best friends I've made up here at school are also from Dallas and I'll still get to play with them all summer long.
I LOVED HUNGER GAMES! Maybe they cut a few pieces from the book out but overall one of the best book to movie adaptions I've seen. My friend Scott thinks that 50% of the movie was close ups and I think he's probably right.
Katniss, not Catniss. Also to all the haters out there who said my outfit looked like my normal attire, I beg to differ. That vest came out just for the premiere!
Found me a bloody Peeta!
Not sure why they chose not to dress up...
So much fake blood. Yipes.
Sydney flew to North Dakota this morning at seven am so we thought it'd be a good idea to just stay awake until she left for the airport. Luckily this meant I was awake when Jen wanted to skype!!
Unfortunately the video quality was sub-par. But the conversation was to the contrary! It was so great to see her pretty happy face. Less than a month and we will be reunited!
And now I am about to get picked up to go camping and get very little sleep for the third night in a row. I don't know why I do this to myself. It has been a pretty crazy/great week!
Well this is weird. I have less than a month left of my freshman year of college. In the time that I've been up here in college a baby could have been conceived and born. Ugh I don't really know why I used that metaphor but lets be honest when we hear nine months we all think of childbirth. Or maaayyybe that's just me. Anyways obviously I'm looking forward to going home because I'm basically obsessed with my younger siblings, can't wait to be reunited with Jennifer, adore my parents, miss my friends and we all know how I feel about Texas. You could say that I like it a lot. The picture below is old old old. CHRIS. Hahah sorry!
But at the same time life right here right now is pretty darn great. The sky is so blue and pretty and the green is slowly coming back in the grass. I do indeed live in a happy valley. I got to meet Jordan's fambam last night and he's going to Canada! Brrr/Yay!
Well overnight I became really bad at blogging. Don't ask me why. Anyways, I'm sure all of my many adoring fans have just been bored to tears without my inspiring posts so sorry to leave you all hanging.
It is a very nice, satisfying and comforting feeling to be content at where things are at. Am I looking forward to summer? Obviously. But life is so good right now. I'm in no rush to go home! I can't even believe that I have a MONTH left of my freshman year of college. Holy heck I'm grandma old. I think I'm severely affected by the weather. And it has been so lovely lately and subsequently I've been so happy. Okay but anyways point being, it is great to be living in the moment, not looking forward to the extent that I'm don't appreciate the great times right now.
You could say I've been spending a lil time with this guy
This is an old picture of my brother Mark but is still one of my favorites. Happy St. Patrick's day y'all!! I wish I could be with this red headed baby boy today.
ALSO feedback on the new blog design?? Haha Jen already told me she doesn't like it so feel free to be honest!
As much as I love my dining plus, I do enjoy eating off campus. Something about eating the same food on a rotation for 9 months gets a little old. I had the pleasure of going to Buffalo Wild Wings a few nights ago, and it was exactly that: a pleasure. It made me miss Highland Village... lots of fun memories there and also Shannon who worked there who read this blog and that makes me happy! Also make your own blog Shannon so I have something to read.
First of all, anyone that knows me decently well knows that I don't like meat. But something about the atmosphere, the people, the waitress- I ate six wings. And they were great.
YIKES poor Scott was so sweaty ugh makes my eyes water just thinking about it. Everyone in the group was from home and we vowed to go again this summer when we can walk out into cozy humidity instead of snow.
Then last night I got to eat with @lillampy. Or Jason, whichever you prefer. I love Jason because we are friends, we don't just know each other because he and my sister are friends. I love talking to him.
Then tonight I got to go to Cafe Rio with Jordan and the senior edition! I love meeting parents, first of all. Everything about the dinner was good.
Yay for good food and great company. Oh and fantastic weather!!!!!!!
So BYU does not actually have a spring break. And yet, I was luckily enough to get to go home for a week! My parents headed to Puerto Rico and I headed down to Highland Village to hold down the fort and take care of the kids. I received a few dirty looks, and finally realized that I was being considered by the general public as a teen mom. Haha but it was honestly a blast! It was so nice to be home with the sole purpose of spending time with my younger siblings.
Had to take the obligatory plane take off shot. So pretty though.
I got to spend lots of time at parks, I did NOT get a tan though.
Held this sleeping little girl for over an hour and a half at church on Wednesday night, and woke up sore the next day.
I got to practice a little photography and editing skills!
Hahahaha this picture is so not cute but I was just so happy to get to drive with the windows down.
Oh my gosh. She is a ham. Always performing for the camera.
I loved chats with individual siblings. It is so weird to see them grow up. Every time I go home they are so different.
Woke up at 4:30am, drove to DFW and talked about life and etc. with my dad. As always, I was seated next to a middle aged chatty cathy cowboy wannabe. As always. But I was able to sleep for an hour and a half which was great.
So good to see Emily and Morgan. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends who I can pick up things just like they were where we left off. I'm so glad I was able to attend my home ward on Sunday, I did so much growing up with those loving leaders and friends there.
Today was a great day back in Provo. Before I went home I had really hit that late winter, February block. Going home was such a nice little vacation from the real world but it's nice to be back and to have life return to regular. Also I'm still waiting to hear about the camp counselor job, but while I was home I was offered the other job that I was interested in. Ugh I don't know what to do. I'm hoping that whether or not I get the Aspen Grove job will make my mind up for me.
