Wanna hear a joke?!

PRESIDENT'S DAY!

Wow, what a LAME weekend this has been. All is well, though. I didn't really do anything expect envy my brother for seeing John in Oregon, Terren for shopping in Salt Lake, and Allison who was soaking up the rays in So-cali cal cal.

Now that the weekend is over and I no longer have a need to envy my friends, I will update you on my life. It goes as follows: homework is over taking my life, my room is a MESS, my laundry is done, we have a new dvd bookcase, I've only had one dr.pepper in the last two days, it dumped snow over the weekend and Diana's mom is visiting.

Anywho, I need to go make my bed and hit the hay. Hopefully tomorrow will be full of sunshine (so I can take pictures), and I can walk to class bouncing to the beat of my ipod.

Wanna see a pretty picture I took today? :)

Oh Idaho.

Oh, Idaho.

Today was beautiful. February 15, 2011 and it was 42 degrees in Rexburg, Idaho. To say that it was a wonderful surprise would be an understatement. If Idaho stayed this beautiful all year round, I would live here.

Alas... Idaho is normally in the single digits and sometimes negatives in February. All is well, though.

Beautiful Idaho days make the worst of Idaho days more bearable. 

M.I.A.

So.... maybe I've been a little missing in action recently. I'm sure you were all worried (all five followers). I have to admit that I have been blogging...

on TUMBLR.


I know, I know. I'm a dirty traitor who doesn't deserve your sadness. Anyway, I've missed my long little rants on this internet-blog contraption. Tumblr just doesn't cut it! (I just can't stand reading about teenage drama....)

Stay tuned.

my turn?

I've come to realize that I have an insane jealously towards anyone who gets engaged/married before me. And, this is especially the case if they are younger then me. I mean, I LOVE weddings. So, when will it be my turn?

Sometimes I feel hopeless and obsessive. Anyway, I guess my time will come.

count your many blessings...

... name them one by one.

Additions to my list of little things I'm thankful for:

chick-fil-a sauce
a cold dr.pepper
sewing machines
the excitement of finding money in your pocket
a melted heart from an adorable 3 year old's hug
"ms. ria"
sleeping in
hot chocolate
trips with my dad
relief of fall semester being over
getting the picture you actually wanted
my northface fleece
the game "angry birds"
the legit bass in my honda
my hair getting longer
"ah ha" moments

grrr

When I read Ryan's family emails, I get kind of anxious. And then seeing that this last one he talked about sending his family christmas gifts... is it bad that that makes me mad? Whatever. I still think I have every right to be mad.

In other news, today I went to visit my kiddos at Honeytree. To hear their little voices say, "MS. RIAAAAAA!" melted my heart. I love those kids! As much as they aggravated me, and pushed every last one of my buttons this summer, they still mean the world to me. And, I got to see Kayleigh today! I love my best friend for so many reasons. I love being home. 

My best friend :)

2 up 2 down

Get it? 2 up 2 down = VA? Okay, you still don't get it? Let me show you...

So in five days I'll be in VIRGINIA! I AM SO EXCITED! I miss home so much, my friends, family, dog cat. You name it and I miss it. Anyway, in a few days I get to see this precious face...

Yeah, I know you're scared. You should be. She'll rip you limb from limb. She'll tare your face right off. I promise. Don't let her duster in the mouth cuteness fool you. She's a ferocious attack dog. So hide yo wife, hide yo kids and hide yo husbands cause she's rippin apart errbody.
