USU vs. WSU

there was a basketball game a couple weeks ago.

i was most definitely planning on going!

well my logan cousins decided they were coming down too, so we all met up randomly!

it was a lot of fun to skip homework for a night and just play. :)

Oh The Irony!

Remember I told you a couple days ago that I was moving?

Well, when I was thinking and praying about the possibility of moving, I cam across this:

Who knew a Jone's Soda could be a fortune teller?! Ha!

The other morning I was leaving an appointment.

As I am exiting the building I see this… “Old Faithful” type scene right there in an Ogden Utah parking lot.

I was worried this water-work-show was happening by my car and I was about ready to freak out. I mean, let's be real here, an umbrella can only protect you so much.

Luckily it was not my car, but a poor yellow mustang.

Happy day to you!

And remember, yours is probably better than this person's. :)

i feel like i am a titch behind.

i feel like i have much to blog about.

a lot of memories to document.

and some pictures to share.

for now, i have to put it out there that i feel much better!

things are still a little uncertain...

but the Lord and i are working on it together.

our daily chats are quite long and deep and i am glad i am on His side to be able to ask for His help.

there is 1 month of school left.

1 MONTH!

then a week break...then back at it again for summer.

but it is going to be great and i am excited for where i am academically.

there is that for now.

memory documentation to come!

topic of conversation this weekend

After having a long conversation with my dear friend, Amber, this quote is something that I am trying to re-teach myself.

I go in and out of phases where I don't care what others think of me, I am confident, and really embrace me -- all of me. Even the flaws.

But right now, this is not the case. 

In fact, I am kinda the opposite of all stated above.

I have to remind myself not to be the analyzer I am prone to be.

Where's Waldo?

K, so I'm not Waldo...but can you spot me in this post??

:)

I love reading this blog.

I check it out everyday.

summer

when it get's warmer,
and definitely when it is sunny like it has been,
it makes me super ready for summertime. 


yep.


i am very ready for it.

are you?

today i say:

Good Morning to YOU!
May your day be off to a fantastic start.

Randomness

(Just a bunch of randomness that has been floatin around in my head.)

-Remember when I played soccer at least once a week this fall? And how my shoes sucked and made my feet kill. They were so bad in fact that they turned one of my toe nails a gross blackish-blueish color. Yeah it is gross I know. I only would paint my toe nails dark colors to cover it up. Well last night I was clipping my toe nails & guess what? it came right off & a new nail has formed underneath! Isn't that fantastic! Ya I know it is probably really gross to you...acutally...it is gross to anyone. But it's a relief that I know my toe itself isn't going to fall off.

-School is so dang expensive. Books are quite ridiculous.

-Sometimes I feel really lame about presents. I never know what to get people, and then it starts getting expensive. When we do gift exchanges and I see what people give me and I'm all excited and then I see my present and I'm like, "crap." And I don't know quite how to remedy it. Let's face it: I'm poor and am not so much in touch with my creative side... I hope to change that by next Christmas.

-I can't believe it is almost 2011. I'm going to be 21 in 7 months! I want to go eat at bars and saloon's just so the guys at the door ask for my ID & I can gladly show them.

Forget Vegas. That place in July is like death...only hotter. Haha!

-My room is super-duuuuper clean. I wanted to come back to my college home with a clean and spatious room. I succeeded!

-I think I am growing again. I stood up to help a member & felt like my right hip was higher than my left. I felt uneven.

-My hair is getting l.o.n.g. and I am quite excited about it.

Alright. Enough randomness for today? Yes.

Christmas Shopping!

Done and Done!

(as of the weekend.)

Now... let the wrapping begin.

It has been weird this Christmas to not have been getting ready with my mom.

We weren't together to put together packages, address our Christmas cards (which was really hard to coordinate all that jazz.) and it was difficult to have to constantly call each other to bounce ideas off each other.

But we did it!

Wahoo!

And I am so excited for Christmas!

i. want. one.

i very badly want one of these:

Monday Morning

I am driving to school this morning,

coming up the hill to the boulevard where my school sits,

waiting patiently for the light to turn green so the stream of left-turners can make their way north.

During that wait,

the white Jimmy in front of me decides to pull out into the lane next to us.

But wait.

He has no traction.

zip.

zero.

zilch.

nada.

His one wheel was spinning out of control,

but he wasn't moving anywhere. 

I was so worried that he was going to fall right back down the hill,

...and into me.

The traveling cars in those two lanes weren't aware really of the situation and were driving around him.

I felt really bad for little Jimmy.

And scared.

no more accidents this year for Andrea please. 

I hope all of your winter driving is safe!

Forts

whenever it snows or rains & I see people use umbrellas, it reminds me of my childhood. 

i would use the 2 biggest umbrellas we had and build myself a little fort and isolate myself between them with my treasures at the time. 

it brought a smile to my face earlier this week when the umbrellas came out to play on campus.

:)

wow..

I have a lot of little posts that I need to get on here & im slackin.
Slackin majorly.
I am working on it.
I just...have to put studies & summer fun first....before I am stuck in front of this computer screen for the cold winter months.
