I'm SICK

I didn't get a flu shot. I didn't think it would even matter because I literally have not been sick since last year. That's like 11 months people so I thought I was pretty solid. Negatory!!! I have a sore throat a stuffy nose and my ears feel all weird like itchy like I might be on the verge of a earache and I have been swilling tea and drinking water like nobodies freakin' business! Then you just have that really bad day where you feel like you have been to h*** and back and hit by a truck on the way. Where you constantly have to blow your nose so it gets super raw and hurts so bad. That is the worst. I am all achy like an arthritic 90 year old hunchback woman. But on the bright side I can still sort of smell stuff! I could taste the orange I ate so that was nice :) And my nice roommate got me a cinnamon roll this morning she is too good to me! I am hopefully getting my first mission interview tomorrow so that will be nice to FINALLY get that going. Best of luck! Get a flu shot! You aren't invincible! Don't be dumb like me!!!!

It's Been a While.

So! What's up? My life lately has been full of school, projects for school, studying for school, and wishing that the semester was over.....because of school! Also I have succeeded in possibly making everyone on facebook hate due to a quote I saw online but did not quote so therefore I think everyone thinks I am prejudiced against people who don't believe in god. Which I am not. I think it's cool and awesome for me that I am LDS and it makes me happy and helps my life have a lot of meaning and joy. If that's not your thing that's ok! Maybe making music gives your life meaning and joy and that's awesome that you are developing that talent and that you enjoy it so much. Just I don't know...don't get hung up on things like that. If you are always doing what makes you feel happy and you are nice to other people and stuff then isn't that the goal? So this is my formal apology. I am sorry internet for my insensitivity. It happens but I am practicing not putting my foot in my mouth as often :) yeah it's a work in progress and quite possibly a losing battle but I will keep trying. For the children.

P.S. I had chocolate oatmeal for breakfast with chocolate chips. Two words people. FREAKING DIVINE! 

Today!

I officially started my mission papers today! I hopefully will be able to get these bad boys done fairly quickly because I would like to get my call quickly and be able to plan for my next 18 months! Doctors appointments this Monday and Tuesday over the break though so that will be good to get out of the way! Then I just have to finish up this semester. BOOO!! I don't want to study anymore I am all schooled out I tell you. Then it will be off to the mission field!!!

The Story.

Folks. Ladies. Gents. Dudes. Dudettes. I just would like to formally announce to the blogging world that I have decided that I will be serving an LDS mission. I bet most of you are rather shocked and surprised because I had no idea I was going to until approximately 11:00 on Saturday morning. Never even crossed my mind. So here is the story of how I decided I was going to go on a mission. Me and my cousin Holly were at the st. george marathon on Saturday morning and we were waiting to cheer on some friends who were running and we were near the finish line so we had to wait and then hustle back home to catch the end of the first session. So we are walking up the street to the car and some girl Holly knew told us the news that girls could now go on missions when they are 19. I was blown away. I have never ever EVER considered going on a mission. Never really wanted to or thought about it too extensively. But Holly on the other hand has always wanted to go and was planning to go all along when she turned 21. So she was flipping out in the car and so excited and she called her sister Emily and told her to turn on conference and rewind it to when president Monson made the announcement so she could know if this was all just a rumor or if it was true. It was true lol. So she is way excited and I am just sitting in the car not saying much. I was mostly just thinking well Holly is my roommate and if she leaves then I will have to get a new one or something and I don't really want to do that. I was just trying to figure out what to do now because we had made so many plans for this year and the spring. So we got to her house and I went to the bathroom because I had to go. When I was washing my hands I was like I have never really asked heavenly father if he wants me to go on a mission. I have never even opened up my heart to the idea. So I just neeled down in the bathroom and said a prayer and basically just said that if this is what I needed to do and if this was what my heavenly father needed my to do then I would do it. Then I started to cry at this point so I knew the answer was yes that I needed to go.   So I came out of the bathroom at this point haha! And told Holly and my Aunt Sheryl that I would be leaving pretty soon too! They were both so excited! And I was still crying lol. I then told my mother and she cried. And Aunt Sheryl was bawling all over the place. Me and Holly will be the first girls in our families to go on missions. Both sides of our families!!! I told my dad later that night after he got home from the priesthood session and he was really excited and proud of me. I called and told James today too and he was pretty blown away and excited for me. And me and Holly told our grandparents today too and they were so excited for us! It is just a really big adjustment because I was not planning on this at all but I am excited and have a desire to go and we will both be starting our papers really soon! Peace and blessings y'all!

I am having Roommate Issues.

They don't know I have this blog or read this blog so I am just going to assume that I can just say whatever I want. They have guys over on week nights till pretty dang late at night. They don't have classes at that start at 8:00 in the morning. Anybody else see a problem? Why can't they ever just go to somebody else's house?!?!?!?! Really though! Then we had this huge roommate meeting about....DISHES. Because Hannah can't stand to have dishes in the sink at any time. And those dishes can't be soaking off the crap that is on them. Heaven forbid!!! And this is the girl that makes bacon and then leaves the frying pan with the grease in it on the FREAKING stove ALL weekend LONG!!!!!!! I do not understand her. I also do not like the fact that when I am cooking dinner for all of us she comes in and tells me how "Her mom makes it this way and it is SOO good". Look. I don't care how your mother makes things. I am making dinner the way I want to if you don't like it don't eat it. Like the other day I was making BLT's for us and making the bacon and the outside strips were crispy but the inside ones weren't yet. So I try to cook them longer and she is like "Don't! I like floppy bacon!" So I am like ok and put it on paper towels to drain the grease. Then what bacon does she eat? THE CRISPY FREAKIN BACON!!!! I swear if I have to go to sleep to the sound of Chandler or Hannah's "boy voices" (the annoying way girls talk to boys when they think they are being way funny and flirty and cute when in fact they just sound like a loud herd of buffalo) one more time I am going to flip out. Majorly flip out.

Surprise!!

My life has been full of lots of interesting revelations lately I feel like. I also feel like I have been being a brat when I say my prayers. Like gimme this and that. Turns out you can not demand things from the lord. That is just so rude lol. SO I have been practicing being way more thankful for the things he does give me! And what do you know he as been blessing me a ton! I love him he is so great :) and I know that good things are in store for me I just have to practice my patience (curse that dang patience) and at the right time the good stuff I have been asking about will happen!

Just Don't

DON'T EAT MY GRAPES OR I WILL CUT YOU!!!! Seriously. I do not buy grapes so you fatty's can eat them after zumba before you guys go get burgers. So I am being nice this one time. Next time expect to be prison shanked with a toothbrush. I mean the chocolate chip episode  was bad enough but this. This right here is just wrong on so many levels. I don't want to have to hide my delicious green grapes from your greedy paws. Because chances are I will forget where I put those delicious little green guys and then they will be rotten raisins. I like raisins. From the store. Not from hidden grapes. So let this be a valuable lesson to all. Don't take my grapes because: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want (really I do though, you want my grapes) but I will find you. And when I do I will kill you. Kill you dead.
