Hey Soul Sister...

Everybody meet Jackie Lyn. I seriously wish everyone could meet this girl. She is hands down the funniest girl I know. Like HILARIOUS!! I feel like I have known Jack forever when in reality were coming up on our 2 yr anniversary. A little bit lesbian? Maybe. Let me just give a couple reasons of why she is my favorite..
- She shoved her debit card all the way up the receipt slot when she tried to get gas once.
- She takes lots of pictures of herself.
- She can handstand the crap out of anybody
- She makes up ridiculous scenerios with me such as the narnia corner in our room
- She made everyone call her baby for a day
- She likes it when I call her little pony
- We are relentless when it comes to making fun of eachother... and others
- She sings...
- Shes smart
- Our yelling battles
- She laughs at my jokes
- She punched Hayden in the face once, for real
- "sorry"
- She can do the robot
- "Are we fighting? I dont know what to do, do we just not talk for 2 hours or what?"
- She runs home from school like a kid with a sweatshirt tied around her waist
- She has ALWAYS been there
I wish everyone coulda seen mine and Jacks room. tiny is an understatement. But somehow we made it. We were constantly in eachothers way but i think that made it more fun. That room has way to many memories, most shouldn't be shared, im sure James could attest to the horrifying things he heard. But we had so many good times. So many laughs and so many tears happened in our room and im glad she was there for them all. I miss our talks and ridiculous scenerios like the pony person conversation when she almost peed her pants. I miss Jackie waking up when I came into the room at night and telling me she loved me and than not remembering it in the morning or the random phone calls I'd get when I was with Jace asking if I was ok. I miss waking up to her staring at me and telling me she was prettier than me, or her looking in the mirror counting how many times she brushed her hair, "101, 102, 103, sorry im prettier than you".
It all started when Jack moved in with me at the ole trailer mansion. It took some time but before long we were bf's. We've been through a lot in our short friendship but without everything we've endured I dont think we'd be a close as we are. I had a bit of a tuff semester near the end, Jackie was the gentle reminder that I would be ok. She has never once judged me for the things Ive done or said and has always had my back. She has helped me become the person I am today and im so grateful for the example she is to me.
If everyone could have a best friend like her the world would be a better place.

(super gay I know, but I really do love that girl)

Always a bridesmaid never a bride, HA!

I feel like there's always a point in the year where EVERYONE gets married. Im sure everyone knows what im talking about. That point is now. Im pretty sure I have 5 or 6 wedding invitations in my room right now all for the past couple weeks. Its cool.
2 weeks ago though I got to go up to St. Johns for Lacey's wedding. I was a bridesmaid, imagine that.Lacey was my roomate for a while down at EA. She's hilarious. We had a lot of good times such as...
- that one time I got a concussion on a slip n slide.
- the trailer mansion
- skinny dipping in roper lake every night for like a month
- singing songs
- the spring break we stayed in thatcher longboarding everywhere we went
Those are just a few, most I cant publish publicly. Im sad I didnt even get a picture with her at the wedding but we had to get back down to the valley that same night so I stole one from her facebook. Im so excited for her and Patrick!

Than this past weekend I went up to Mesa for Julie and Jordans wedding. It was a weird feeling having her get married. She was one of the 8 roomates this last semester. We all managed to
make it to the wedding though so it was a good time.(Bryndee, Ami, Whitney, Missy, Julie, Jackie, Me, Rachel)

Some of my favorite memories of Julie are...
- her singing voice
- scum
- watching twilight every day for a month
- hiking
- 40's!!
- single tears
- j whit
- sonic
- taco bell club
Im so excited for both of them, they are the first 2 of my closer friends to get married so its definitely weird feeling but nontheless very exciting!

Excuse me, I think you made a mistake...

Astonished:
Part of Speech- (Verb)
Definition: Surprised

I think its fair to say I was astonished when I saw my final anatomy grade for the first time this morning.
Perhaps I should have tried to look at my grade throughout the semester.
On second hand, maybe its good I didn't.
I can honestly say I've never been so stressed about a single class in my life.
I cried. and stressed. and studied like never before.
Lets be honest, I would have been ecstatic with a 70.
When your expecting a D in a class you've worked so hard in,
you'll take anything that lets you pass.
But when I looked at my grades today and saw what it was...
I cried. I mean really cried.
Kinda pathetic, but it was the biggest weight off my shoulders.

I. Got. a. B.
Halle-freakin-lujah!

Happy Mother's Day!

Let me start off by saying how much I really love my mom. I know everyone loves their moms, its a given, but honestly my mom is one of my best friends. I don't know how I could ever thank her enough for everything she has done for me. I was in sacrament today listening to a talk on gratitude, and given its mothers day she talked a lot about her mom. It inspired me to write about my mom and why I love her as much as I do.

Me and my mom butted heads a lot at one point in high school. I faintly remember it being over a little diddy called seminary. I hated seminary to say the least. I refused to go, and my mom refused to let it slide. I remember countless fights over it and one day she used the ole "well if you don't go to seminary you wont get your license" routine. I'm fairly stubborn so in not so many words I told her to bring it. Well she brought it. 2 months before I turned 17 and a years worth of seminary make-ups later, I finally got my license. That was when I realized just how similar me and my mom are.

She has taught me so much in my life. My mom is funny, kind, sweet, caring, spiritual and loving. Since I've been away at school I've realized how much I miss her and its made me realize how much she truly does. I feel like me moving away has made me so much closer to my mom and I'm glad that it has turned out this way.

I'm glad my mom loves me still after the decisions I've made. good. and. bad.

I'm glad we have the relationship that we do. The kind of relationship where I can tell her anything and she doesn't judge or make me feel bad.

I love that she thinks I'm funny, and that we can laugh together even if my humor is slightly dirty.

My mom just inspires me to be a better person. She has shown me the way and I want to be so much like her when I'm a mom some day.

Thanks for all you do mom! I LOVE you more than you know!

Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy Goshhhhhhh!

This semester has flown by, I still cant believe its going to be over in 3 short weeks. It has been one of the funnest i've had here and i'm so glad I came back. Our house has been deemed "The Slut Hut" and sadly has stuck with us throughout the semester. Having 8 girls in a house has been pretty fun. I love the girls I live with and we all get along good. A perk of having 8 girls in one house is all the people it brings in. We constantly have people coming in and out and there's always something to do. There's been a lot going on this semester so ill do my best to sum it all up.

The semester started out with a bang. I started hanging out with a guy right off the bat. We started dating and dated for a good portion of the semester. We had fun but it obviously didnt go anywhere. You live and you learn right?

In the mist of all that we made a few trips. One being to California for spring break. Jackie, Jessica, Missy and me went up to Missy's moms for the week. We shopped, ate way to much thanks to Missy's awesome mom, and beached it. It was quick but fun.

We also made the trip up to Utah for conference this year. Ive always wanted to go but never have been able to. Luckily Uncle Sam sent me a nice little check this year and I was able to do all the things Ive been deprived of the past 2 years. Jackie, Hayden, Missy and me all went up. We stopped in Vegas on the way up and spent the night conquering the strip. We figured it would be better to go on the way up than after conference. We got into all the sessions on Saturday after begging people on the corner for tickets. It was awesome and im so glad I finally got to expierence it. We met up with Clint and his wife Paige and than got to hang out with Tory for a couple days.

We made a few trips to Mesa for various reasons, one being the Easter Pageant at the Temple. Hayden had never been (being from Boise and all) so we thought it'd be fun for him and it was.

I know im leaving out a bunch of stuff and it may not sound as fun as ive made it out to be, but trust me it was! Other than the big things ive just been busting butt in school. I started actually trying in school which is a first for me. Its been alright we'll see how good I did at the end of the semester.

Chea came down here at the beginning of the semester to take some pictures of us. She is so amazing. You can check her out here :)

Guess Whose Back!!

Thats right ladies and gents, me. Well Im back in Thatcher. And Im over the fact that this is my 3rd year and that this is a two year school. It feels good and beats the heck out of Tucson. It was kind of a last minute decision but so far it has been worth it! Im back with Jackie, Julie, and Missy plus Bryndee, Ami, Rachel, and Whitney... You counted right, theres 8 of us. Its a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house and to be honest it really isnt that bad. We all get along and we havent had any major problems these first two weeks. Lets see if we can make it 3 more months :) I'll put pictures up when I get em'.

Oh Hello.

I have a great excuse as to why I havent updated in a while.
1. I dont have alot to update about.
2. My dumb neighbor kicked us off his internet.
The funny thing about #2 is that he tried being "sneaky" about it. Um hello were neighbors, im going to see you eventually. Its not like I havent noticed that we cant get on the internet anymore. So thank you for that downstairs Nate. We appreciate it. Pause not.

Well October has come and gone. Halloween was sorta fun. Im not a big Halloween person. I always say Im going to plan some awesome costume, but when the time comes I decide I dont want to. Then on Halloween I decide I do want to dress up. So this year was the same as always. I went looking at like 3 on Halloween day for a costume. Me and Adam went down to 4th ave. and it was packed to say the least. I ended up with a little boys "pirate" costume from Wally world. It looked like anything but a pirate, but I dealt with it. I went to the institute dance for a while and then we went back to Chris's house and watched a movie. It was a good night.
November has FLOWN by. The scariest thing happened though, after work one day Adam and Chris called me to see if I wanted to go to a movie. So I met them at Chris's house and we went to the movies, then we decided to go down to university ave. for the pep rally, and then we went back to his house and watched another movie. While we were watching it the motion light outside his house came on so I was looking at the window because I didn't think anyone else was coming. And as im watching it I see a figure walk by and kinda lean over right by his car so I hit Chris and was like Chris someones outside!! So he jumped up and grabbed his gun (he's a cop) and opened the door and he was like "hey bro what the heck are you doing?" And then he took off. I was freaked out and we went outside and Chris had chased some guy down the alley but he got away. But Chris said he was at my car door and was trying to open the door! I was like what the heck! I'm glad the didn't break in, not that they would have gotten anything good out of it but nontheless it would have been a pain. Then to top it all off, Chris's house got broken into on Friday. The whole thing is scary to me, I dont think I could sleep there after something like that...if it were my house. But they stole his tv, laptop, and then a bunch of his guns.
After that whole deal we went down the Rocky Point with the McCowns. It was fun like always, it was nice to get away from work and everything for the weekend.
This last Thursday/Friday at midnight, guess what I was doing. Ding ding, me and Cait were at the New Moon premiere. Haters get lost. I LOVED every single minute of it. I will definitely be seeing it again, possibly again after that. I highly recommend it. I didnt like the first one when I saw it, but this one was bomb the whole way through. Me and Cait were there sporting our team Jacob shirts, let me tell you him alone is worth watching the movie for. He is awesome and made me love him more than ever!!
Other than that not a whole lots going on. I cant believe Thanksgiving is next week and then Christmas is a few weeks later, this last few months has just flown.
