11. I would be happy if I could turn out even half as cool as the members of my family

1.What is your favorite day of the week?
I love the weekend for obvious reasons. Monday and Wednesdays this semester because I like my classes on those days. I also like my walks home on Monday's talking to my mom.

2.If you could pick an actress to play you in a movie of your life who would it be?
I would want Jennifer Aniston because she is just really cute and funny and she seems to have just the right amount of girliness to play my life. 

3.What did you want to be when you were a child? (ex. I wanted to be a power ranger when I grew up)
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl :) 

4. What is your favorite book and why?
I think the best book I've read is "The Glass Castle" or any other non fiction history or historical fiction book. 
5.What’s your favorite quote?
"Life is to be enjoyed, not endured" -Gordon B. Hinckley I think sometimes I get down on myself but then I read that and hear my sister Kareen's voice telling me to forget regrets and just enjoy my life now, and I feel so much better. 

6.Would you rather have your flight delayed or lose your luggage?
Flight delayed for sure. I've never had that happen though so I don't really know how it feels.

7.What celebrity do you want to meet most?
I know this is corny and not really a celebrity, but I would absolutely love to meet the prophet or one of the general authorities. It is seriously a dream of mine just to shake their hands and thank them. I dreamed about meeting Gordon B. Hinckley the day after he died which was really nice because when I heard that he had passed away, I cried knowing that I had never gotten the chance to meet him. 

8.What is your favorite tv show?
Right now I love three. 1)Modern Family 2) New Girl 3) Parks and Rec
Those three shows can all make me laugh out loud, even when I'm watching them by myself. 
9.What’s one thing from your bucket list that you want to do next?
I want to go to Puget Sound and Pikes Market. This summer is going to be full of adventures so I can live it up before I leave on my mission.

10.Who is your hero?
My siblings. I have learned so much from each of them it's incredible. Pretty much the entire BYU campus is full of heros for me though too because they are such good examples of working hard and serving. 

11.If you had the chance to go back to high school, Would you?
No way jose. I loved it when I was there, but looking back I realize how dumb I was. Thank goodness for college! 

Also, the only person I really have to tag is Jill, so if you want to do this jill, please do :)

Motivation

What do I do when I have no motivation? Well, facebook for starters, then music, then texting, then this. And finally, I'm going to read for class and then start bright and early tomorrow...hoping that I will wake up with the spark I am missing right now. Goodnight.

I want it to be tomorrow, today

More like a tough day...I just want it to be this time tomorrow right now.

Good Morning!

Just a real quick note- Even though I hate it when I am actually waking up, I really love waking up early to exercise and read my scriptures. It makes my days so much better. Today I read about time management and building a relationship with Christ - I loved it.

Love is in the air


So last night I had nothing better to do (that's a lie, I just wasn't in the mood to do anything else) so I decided to decorate my apartment for Valentines Day. Any time that I get to use construction paper and tape is a good night for me. I should just get a life time supply of both. Also, these were the songs I was listening to while decorating- so lovey dovey... I love these songs so much.
  • White Dress and Loving you is easy- Ben Rector (my latest obbsession
  • Precious Love  and Better Man- James Morrison (try not falling in love with his rusty voice)
  • Stand By Me- Ben E. King
  • Stay With You and This Time - John Legend
  • Wouldn't it be Nice - The Beach Boys
  • La Vie En Rose- Louis Armstrong (His voice gets me every single time)
  • Little bitty Pretty One -Thurston Harris
  • You are the best thing - Ray Lamontagne
  • At Last - Etta James 
  • Stay Just a Little Bit Longer

Oh I had the time of my life

So last night we had a ward rollerskating party. It.was.so.fun. We seriously danced the entire time- I have never danced on roller skates so it was  new adventure. I loved every minute of those two hours. And the ten minute car ride after that when my roommates and I sang the song, "shots" in every version possible - opera, robot, tiger, and lots of other styles. I'm so glad that at BYU and in the ward I'm in- I've met some people awesome people. Also, we came back and played Wii just dance and while we were playing, a random person tossed a real life duck into our apartment. And then later, Carla accidentally sagged and ripped my yoga pants while we were dancing. It was a hilarious night.





Also, just for flashbacks sake of another really fun night years ago, I'm putting these pictures up here.
