This is one of my bestest friends nicknames. She is wonderful.

The other day we were texting and talking about going to the mall. I asked her what she was doing at the moment.

Her response, "Putting toothpaste on my knee."

Does this strike anyone else as odd?

I Have A Friend

I know that none of you would ever believe that I could have a friend, but I do. I have a couple of them accually. But right now I would like to focus on one by the name of Samm, yes with 2 m's.

She is someone that I look up to. And when I grow up I hope to be as inspiring and loving as she is. She has this amazing talent of making people feel like they have an ENORMOUS amount of worth!! And everyone does, but she can make YOU as an individual feel of your worth.

She has other wonderful talents such as,

Writing

Reading

Singing

Acting

Cooking

Loving

Having the Spirit with her at all times

etc. etc.

She has constantly been on my mind of late and so I have been texting her alot. I facebook stock her. I even went to her house yesterday, she wasn't home, but I went.

I just keep wondering why she has been on my mind so much.... I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I keep checking in on her right?....*sigh*

Blast From the Past

The other day I was at the library and I was looking at their kids movies and I saw the Magic School Bus. I had to get it! So when I was finished with it a couple days later I returned it and went to see if they had any more. They did, but I also found a TV show that I used to watch with my brothers. We loved it and it gave us all something to do and we would get along whalst doing it. The show was Pokemon. And because I was in a good mood and it sounded like fun I got it. Well now I have the whole first season on hold at the library.

But I am not the only one who is watching old silly TV shows because at this very moment Taylor and Logan are watching Power Rangers and they have been for the past 2 hours.

So Magic School Bus, Pokemon, and Power Rangers. You may call us silly or stupid or just plain old weird but it is fun to watch the things that you watched as a kid and just laugh at it. It's fun and healthy for you! So I encourage you all to go find a show that you used to watch as a kid weather it be at the library or on Netflix or just on you tube, watch it and laugh at it. Remember all the good times you had with your brothers pretending that you were trainers and had extraordinary adventures while trying to catch rare and unusual Pokemon. Do it. Embrace the weird.

Sub Zero(if you ask my dad it's called Frozone, but he's wrong)

Would you like to know which of these places I got a job?

FROZONE!!!!!! I didn't even fill out an application. I walked in and asked if they were accepting apps. and she interviewed me right there and then asked for my name and number and said I'll text you and we'll have you work a shift and see if it's a good fit. And I love it! I got paid for my 5 hour shift yesterday(well it will go on my paycheck) and I'm working again on Saturday. How incredibly awesome is that!?!?!

So just to sum up.

I am awesome.

But it is totally and completely my moms fault!!!!!! I guess that sorta means that she is more awesome then me..... And I agree with that!!! Because everyone knows that my mom is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Olives

I have this thing for olives.

I put them on anything that I feel like putting them on.

including pizza, hamburgers, tacos, ham sandwiches, and sandwich, soup, spagetti, my fingers, and so on.

I would have a bowl of olives for breakfast rather than a bowl of cereal.

You could almost go as far to say that it is a fettish of mine.

(I am sitting in my chair and my feet arent touching the ground.... That's how short I am.... Bummer right?)

We even get olives in our stockings at Christmas time!

And that's all I have to say about that.

You've Got Mail

Have you ever seen that movie called You've Got Mail?

Well in one part he is trying to explain why he didn't make the date they had planned. He's saying things like

.... And.... the elevator broke.... And.... we were stuck..... And.... My dog got sick.... And.... my mom was rushed to the hosipital..... And.... the power went out.... And..... etc.

Well that is how I felt last night.

We(my boyfriend and I) had planned on going to the temple in the morning. So I was trying to come up with a way to tell him I couldn't go without telling that I was on my period and I don't like tampons(I had completly forgoten that I was on my period until he left and I finally went to the bathroom(I don't know what it is but the thought of him being just in the other room when I am peeing weirds me out) and then I remembered).

Ecuses that came to mind....

..Blame mom.. that wont work why wouldn't mom let me go to the temple?

..Fake sick.. that wont work he was just here and I was completly fine.

..Don't tell him anything and pretend to sleep through my alarm.. that wont work Tay would just wake me up and they would wait for me to get ready.

..Tell the truth.. NOT AN OPTION!!!!!!!!!

..I'm hanging out with Megan and forgot about it til just barely..why on earth would I make plans with my friend for 8o'clock in the morning?.. unless.. I have chores to do before I go hang out with Megan at 10, plus I have to get ready for the day.... BINGO!!!!!!!

Now this is the story I told him.... and it is not a lie. I am hanging out with Megan and I do have things to do.. but it is posible that the things could be done later in the day.... But what he doesn't know wont kill him right? I made plans to go to the temple with him this comming Tuesday.

This story could also relate to the movie My Girl. Her guy friend comes over and asks her if she wants to go swimming. Of course she pushes him away and yells "AND DON'T COME BACK FROM FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS!!!". Which also could have worked for this situation.... but he would have guessed that and that is just as bad as me just telling him the truth!

This is sorta a no win situation.

Bummer.

WOOT!!!

I finally made it to 2nd Nephi!!!!!

Everyone should be proud of me and should tell me that I am fantastic!

Even though I already know how cool I am. (;

What An Idiot!

Today I was suppose to be in Kamas helping with Ragnar. I signed up to be a volunteer.

I was going to wake up at 6 so I could be out of the house by 7 and on my way.

But alas I slept through my alarm.

That is one reason I'm an Idiot.

Then I stayed up until midnight thinking that I could wake up at 6 and be good to go for the day.

That is the other reason I am an Idiot.

So to sum up....

I AM AN IDIOT!!!!

The Dr. Lady Said

I went to the Dr. Lady one monday.

She said....

"Since having gluten out of your diet has made you feel better, lets make it a perminent thing."

She also said....

"When you have even a tiny bit of gluten it takes your body at least two weeks to get it through your system."

I was upset.

You wanna know what I did?

I'm tellin' you any way.

I went to the temple.

As I was sitting there I got thinking about what the Dr. Lady had told me and I realized. That over these 6 months of no gluten I have taken the sacrament. Also I remembered what I had discovered the day before. Which was, that barbaque potato chips, yeah they have gluten in them. because the have barley flour in them and I didn't realize that barley(oats) had gluten in them until after I had already told everyone that I could have them. And because I thought I could have them I never read the ingredients again.... Well until sunday. If it takes your body at least two weeks to process gluten then really I haven't gone off of gluten this whole six months. Meaning, that it's not the diet that has helped.

Now you may be thinking, "She's just reasoning this out because she doesn't want to have to stay off gluten." And that may be partically true.

But after I had thought all of this out at the temple. I started praying to Heavenly Father. And asking Him if this was because that's what I wanted or because it is the truth.

I didn't get my answer right away. But after praying about it for the past 3 days. I feel that it is the truth. Not just what I want.

So somehow I am going to slowly start incorroperating gluten back into my diet. That doesn't mean that I'm going to go eat a slice of bread right now. But slowly and steadely I'm going to bring it back into my diet. And if it makes me feel sick again. I'll know to lay off.

After Six Months

I FINNALLY GOT MY MADDALLION!!!!!

I got the silver one(Mom got the gold one).

I love it!!! It is soooo pretty!!!

But the highlight was that I got my box!!!

Here are some pictures.

The note on the inside reads as follows....

The Keepsake Box

This keepsake box is a gift to you for earning the Young Women's highest award. It contains some useful symbols in its construction. The main body of the box is made from eastern sugar maple. Durring the years of it's life, it gave of its sweet sap to make maple syrup, in that time, the special curly grain pattern formed that gives the wood its beauty and warmth. This symbol should remind you that as we give of ourselves our own inner beauty grows and grows. The inlay is made from western black walnut. This is the same wood from which "The Hinckley Pulpit" in the conferance center was made. This symbol should remind you to always follow the living prophet and give heed to his words. The medallion in the center should help you to remember to keep the Savior the center of your life and make receiving the blessings of the Temple your goal. The bottom of the box is made from aromatic cedar, a wood known to keep insects and moths that corrupt from those sacred things that you'll store inside. This symbol should remind you to keep things that will be harmful to your spiritual well being out of your life. Let this small token be a reminder to you of your commitment to follow the Savior.

Congratulations on receiving your Young Woman's Recognition award.

Thank you for your kind and loving service to all.

Laughing at Landon

I was texting Colton(boyfriend) and Landon was eves dropping. Then he asked....

Landon: Are you going on a hot date?

Me: We're just going to get a movie from Redbox and come home and watch it.

Without missing a beat Landon says: Don't get Hello Kitty. Guys don't like that kind of stuff.

The best part was that he said it with a completly strait face and he was totally serious!!!!

Funnyest little brother ever!!!!!!!

My Own Box

After six months of waiting I am finally getting my young women's medallion!!!

I'm so excited to get it!!

But I might be a little bit more excited to get my box!!!

There is a man in our ward who makes all of the girls who get their medallions a box. It has the medallion big-a-sized on the top of the box. It is all symbolism. I don't remember what all of it means. But when I get my box I'll let you know.

He makes them anonymously but everyone knows who it is that makes them. We just don't talk about it. He is the sweetest man I have ever met(well except for my dad and grandpa fish). I am so excited to be one of the girls who's name goes on the plaque, and gets her box!

You Wanna Hear a Funny Story?

I got pulled over today. While driving Flo(the mini van).

Times I've been pulled over: 2

Reason for being pulled over the first time: Expired plates.

Reason for the car not being impounded: The cop couldn't do it yet.

Reason for being pulled over the second time: Expired plates.

Reason for the car not being impounded: Nice cop.

Funny part of this story: Taylor has been driving Flo around for the past 6 months with the plates expired and wasn't pulled over. But as soon as I get behind the wheel. BAM! Cop. I think that it is a really good thing that I'm cute and innocent looking. Or that cop would have takin' my car away in a heart beat. So I take this time to thank my parents for making me cute! I love you! Thanks sooooo much!!!! (:

Dreams, and Why They Stink.

For the past 4 nights all I've been able to dream about is who the next Bells Voix(bell v-wah) president is going to be.

Here's the thing.... I want to be Bells Voix president.

But alas I have dreamt that....

Joni has become president. But she just graduated so she can't be president.

Daniel has become president. But he can't be president over the womens choir because he's a boy. He is also a junior this comming year.

D. had all of the people that he wanted to be Bells Voix president come in and aduition. I was one of those people but I was up aginst my best friend Megan and Samm Bouldrin. And I didn't even try because either one of them is clearly more suitable for the job then me.

That he didn't make me president and I quit choir because of it.(which I wouldn't ever do but what an awful dream!)

And so I wish that he would just choose a president already!!!!!!! Or kill me so I can be put out of my missery!!!!! UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!
