Can't Wait

Just Thinking...

It is 1:20 am and I can't sleep and therefore, I blog.

School started again. I can't honestly say I'm looking forward to this semester. I know I shouldn't be such a downer about it but I seriously hate school. I think I will enjoy my advertising class tho. It will give me some hands on experience and that will be great. I have a 9:00 class and I think thats so early. My sister laughed at me and told me that most people are wide awake by then. I don't know why. I think it feels so early because I live in Idaho Falls and have to drive an hour there so I have to be awake around 7. Which still shouldn't be that big of a deal. I guess one day I will grow up and learn to wake up at a reasonable hour, but I can't help it, I love sleeping in!

I have been reading a lot of books lately. They are all by Sophie Kinsella. I read the Shopaholic series and three other books by her: The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me?, and Can You Keep a Secret? I can't believe how much I love these books! They are just hilarious and so wonderful. All of them have a good romance story in them but are mostly about these crazy girls and the problems they get themselves into. I am sad I'm done reading them and I have to find more by her because she is great.

I got these new ankle boots. Holy crap, I love them. I am saving a few outfits just so I can wear them.

I started a TWITTER acount. I don't really know what to do or anything but I thought it would be fun. Anyway if any of you have one, you should "follow" me, so I can "follow" you. I already looked up some sweet celebs and started following their tweets. It's hard to know if it is really them or not but whatevs its fun all the same. Maybe one of them will notice me on there and decide they have to be my friend and fly me out to hollywood and hook me up with an incredible acting gig and we will become bestys. It could happen right? I've been thinking about setting up an account for a while because its all the hype and I wanted to know why but what really decided me, was one of my professors told us he tweets. I thought that was funny and decided I would too. The best part is, I immediately found my Dad on there. I didn't know he was a tweeter. So overall, a success.

So I got a guitar for my birthday. I had a goal to be really really good by now, but I'm not. I still play but I'm not very good at teaching myself. I need an instructor.

Work is work. I wish I had something more exciting to do and something I enjoyed more but it pays the bills. I have a lot of fun with the people I work with so that helps too. Sometimes it's tiring. But its a great job to have while going to school. And no matter how much I complain I really am so very thankful for it.

Have you ever seen the Hannah Montana Movie? Man it is GOOD.

Dan and I are primary teachers. We teach the 7 year olds. I should be preparing our lesson right now instead but thats neither here nor there. I really love this calling. We have all girls in our class. Well actually, there is one boy, but I have only seen him there once. They are all so sweet and hilarious. They love to tell stories. We will ask a question relating to the gospel and every single one of them will raise their hand. When we call on them they have some story that is long and has absoluting nothing to do with anything. It cracks me up.

I would love to be saving up for a house or something we could buy. We're trying to do so, but that is a LONG way off. I feel like everytime we start saving, we end up needing that money. But I guess thats how it goes when your young and married. We have been thinking lately that when we graduate we want to move to Europe. Probably London. We want to get jobs there and stay for a few months or a year. I figure now is the time to do things like that. I would love it and I hope we really can do it. Which by the way... we both graduate NEXT YEAR! YES. I'm done in July and Dan will finish in December. It will be sooooo sooo great to finish. Now that we have it all planned, it just seems that much closer.

Things are really good right now. We are living in an apt in idaho falls, going to school, and working. We are as poor as dirt and never happier. Dan and I have so much fun together and just get closer every single day. He really is my best friend and I'm so thankful to have him in my life forever and ever. Eternity will be a party with that boy!

Well thats that. Peace and Love my peeps.

Carinos Italian

PAINTBALLING. Last week we got to go paintballing with Carinos. Those are the perks of being a server. I had never been before so I was a little nervous. But turns out I am a natural at being hardcore. Actually, thats not really true. I got shot by my own teammate from about 6 feet away and now have a huge bruise. I was stuck in shrubery because the other team was surrounding me and when they saw me they didn't miss a beat in shooting 1 billion paintballs at me until I was covered in paint. But regardless, it was really fun.

Whitt and I. Tough Girls.

Me, Erica, Whittney. We are the only girls that came from work.

Harcore General Manager. Bond. Jon Bond.

My love covered in paint The Carinos gang

Taylor. The teammate that shot me. He deserved this paint to the face I think.

Ryan got hit in the head! It immediately swelled up and bled. But pretty sweet battle wound.

McKenzie Colleen Oborn!

Isn't she an angel! 7lbs 8oz! Congrats Dane, Tam, and Cam!

St. George!

I haven't been able to post about this awesome trip because my blog hasn't allowed it in the last few weeks. :( But finally it is working again. A few weeks ago Dan and I went down to St. George for some family fun. It was my Nonie's 80th birthday so the whole family came out to celebrate. Dan and the boys went golfing everyday and us girls were in the pool by 11. Then hot tubing at night and games the rest of the time. It was a really relaxing vacation. I have always wished to live there but Dan refuses because it is so hot. But honestly, the more I think about it I think it might lose its greatness if it isn't just a vacation site. It was fun to see the whole family because it has been a long time since we were all able to get together. Now that everyone is getting older and having babies it's hard to fit us in one location. Dan and I had a sleepover at my grandparents house with my brother and my cousins the whole time but Dan and I got kicked out and forced to go into a separate room because of Dan's insane snoring. It was such a blast, I can't wait for the next big party so we can all get together again!

The Chosen One

I am finally posting about the greatest movie of the year. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was incredible. The whole movie was hilarious and I was impressed with how well they followed the book. They, of course, left a lot out but considering how long the book is, they did a great job. I was sad they left the battle of Hogwarts out because that was a really good part of the book. But I read somewhere that they did that because there is a battle at Hogwarts in the 7th movie that is bigger and better so I'm just happy they will be including it in the next movie. Dan and I are such huge nerds when it comes to Harry Potter. It is sort of how we got together. When I met him for the first time he said something about being more magical then me and I challenged him to a duel telling him I knew way more spells than him. (yeah... real nerdy... i know!) but because of that he asked me out and we fell madly in love. ;) but we took 3 days of work and school off and went down to Utah to go to the midnight premiere with my family. Luckily they are a bunch of nerds too so it was a blast. Dan and I went as Ron and Hermione. I sewed that 'R' on Ron's sweater for him. It took freakin forever too! But it was a hit. At the theater a girl came up to him and just hugged him to death. She was in love with his costume she couldn't contain it. And then we were walking into our theater and a guy told Dan that he seriously loved him so much. It was hilarious. and awesome.full of magic

Nymphadora Tonks

Potter Geeks!This is a close up of what my brothers shirt said. He even had some girls stop him and tell him they did fancy a snog... nice. Cousins! Potter Geek, Harry himself, and Hermione. Also, I am incredibly jealous of them becuse they have legit, for real, Gryffindor robes, ties and all that.The whole gang! Ron, Hermione, Tay, Tonks, Erin, Nick, Hermione, Harry, Diane, and the baby witch Kaitlyn!The theatre was decked out as Hogsmeade! It was awesome. We bought a Gryffindor banner to hang up in our house. annnd Stephanie and Jake (Hermione and Harry) brought every flavor beans, blood suckers, and lighting bolt scar tatoos for everyone. Best night ever!My cousin Kallie even came with us! Girls Rule.

My New Love

This is my new, beautiful guitar. Dan got me one for my birthday but had some complications actually getting it so we went and got this one yesterday. I am in love. I wanted a black one really bad but then when we were looking around this one just stood out and was different and I loved it! So I have been wanting to learn how to play for a really long time. I have been teaching myself and having some help from friends and my sister and so far so good. Usually when I want to try something new I stick with it for all of five minutes than move on because it was too much work. BUT I promised myself I would just keep it up and then I would get good at it. I LOVE IT! I can't wait until I don't even have to look at my fingers and I can just play.
