Whenever the weather gets cold, I turn into an old Grandma and crochet my life away. I busted out three beanies Christmas Eve--due to procrastination-- and now I'm bustin' out some more! I love crocheting. It's so fun to me, especially when I can see my finished product. Also, it's cheap! I have tons of yarn, so it's super fun to do! I haven't found yarn like this, but I would love to have some. it's so pretty. :]






Joyeux Noel. :] I hope your Christmas was wonderful... full of love, happiness, laughing and family. Have a fantastic New Year!

The well and the Lighthouse

I'm almost 21. Weird. We have our Christmas tree up. It makes me smile, it's so pretty. AND real! I haven't had a real Christmas tree in... 7? years. It's ridiculous. BUT. I love real trees. When I'm married, I'm going to have a real tree for Christmas. Along with homemade ornaments. I want all my family to come visit me in Hawaii someday. .. Meaning someday when I move there. Because I WILL move there. I've no doubt in my mind.

I miss Miriam. She comes home this month, right before Christmas. I love her. I'm so excited for her to come home. We're going to be traveling buddies. First stop - Darby Canyon.

School. Ugh.

things to think about

A friend of mine was talking to me about how she misses her mom. In short, she's planning on getting married and doesn't have that motherly influence to calm her nerves and to be there with her. I feel bad for her. I don't think you should ever have to lose a parent at a young age. Yes, that did happen to me when I lost my mom when I was 11, but I'm stronger emotionally than she is. (my dear, if you're reading this I sincerely hope you don't get offended.) I feel like it's a common knowledge in between us. She's still sad about not having her there. I know I will when start planning my wedding. It's something you want to experience with your mom. Hopefully, I'll have an amazing soon to be mother-in-law that will help me along the way. My sisters are amazing, and I know they'll be there for me... anyway.

It's just a sad thing to be sad over.

Jason Mraz


Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family ([2nd time:] ah, la happy family)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

I know I know..

I know that I whine and complain about not having my boys just a phone call away. I miss them a lot. I'm watching Made of Honor--lame movie, I know--and it opens with two best friends, a man and a woman, who are doing their daily things together. From taking her her morning coffee to going to his father's sixth wedding. It's a little heart breaking to have E. King more than 4100 miles away, along with Daniel being 6500 mile across the Atlantic. *sigh*

I feel so alone with them gone. It's a little cool, though, because I'm growing more so than I thought I would with Michael and Daniel not around.

Michael is coming up on his one-year mark in December. Crazy crazy. He's been in the same area since he got there in February. I hear that it hardly ever happens, from what other RM friends and family have told me. He's doing super awesome! He's having a lot of success and he's loving every minute of it. I read his mission president's blog. It's pretty cool. I like that his wife updates two to three times a week. The just had Zone Conference right before General Conference. Here's a picture!



haha, I think he looks like he has a nasty 'stache, and so does Marisa. The guy to the left of Michael was his companion, Elder Mecham. He's a pretty cool missionary. They were saying that E. King and E. Mecham were the "celebrity" elders in Wanica. Silly things are happening that close to the Equator.


Elder Watkins is doing well according to his letters. I've received two since he's been in Berlin. His companion is from So. California. he seems like a cool guy. E. Watkins misses mexican food. haha. Poor kid; it hasn't been a year yet! Oh well. Berlin offers a ton of cool things, I'm sure.

Anyway. Off to matching socks.

Weddings






I love weddings. All of my girl friends know this, and I'm not embarrassed! I love it. So, in honor of happy people and wedding planning, here are these pictures. :]]] Please don't laugh.

Friday, October 3, 2008

Wheat Thins and Tiger Lillies.

I like that all my favorite shows are back online. I love Ugly Betty, Pushing Daisies, Grey's Anatomy.. I love it all. There is just something about cheesy romances and creative writing skillz that I can't get over. I love all the drama, most likely because it in no way involves me. hooray!

Also, I enjoy that I become like an old woman when it starts getting colder. I sit at home and crochet. MAN I'm awesome. I'm making some moccasins right now. I've got the right foot three quarters of the way finished. They're going to be amazing. :]]]

On another happy note, I'm as behind as I was in my World Civilizations class. I am now only one unit behind! hooray! I've been stressing out over the fact that I didn't act fast enough to register for this class. I love it though! History will always, always keep me intrigued. Right now we're learning about early civilizations in Mesopotamia. Sweet!

Last thing: I'm excited for conference.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Fire!



I love campfires.
Here are two pictures of my
favorite Fall Activity.

Sickness & Pictures


I've been sick with a cold for a while now. I think it's mostly my fault; going out late at night, being outside in the cold with no jacket.. playing in the rain. Oh well.

I love fall. Fall has to be my most favorite weather ever. Windy, sunny, leaves turning colors, crisp cold nights.. Along with football games, fire nights, camping, getting the last good days of slack-lining in... I LOVE fall.


Best friends tell each other everything. I love my best friend. He's awesome. I miss him SO much. Also, I'm getting an email from him. I'm so happy for Monday. Monday is quite possibly my favorite day.

Almost a Year


Where has all the time gone?

PS come home soon.

Yoga-laties. Pi-Yo. Same diff.

So I went to go Yoga-laties. Not going to lie, it's a killer thing to do! I love it though. I feel so.. zen. It's an amazing feeling to just let go of everything and just be happy with yourself. Granted I'm super sore and I will be for the next few days, it felt amazing!

On the other hand, hip-hop wasn't as amazing as I wanted it to be.

Wandering thoughts

First Subject

So I've been trying to catch up on my online World Civilizations class. I'm a unit behind, and four sub-units behind. Although I am behind the rest of the class, I do love "being in school" again. I love learning.

Different Subject

I check the mail every day. I love getting mail. Especially from my dear friends who are serving missions. I've recently notice that I write letters a lot, but never send them. Why, you ask? I couldn't really tell you, it's not like the letters are super juicy with sentimental phrases and expressions of love. Maybe it's therapeutic. I like writing because I can let my mind flow the way it usually does. [Random, jumping from thought to thought with obscure and unexplainable ties to the previous one.] I think that is why a common sentence in the letters I receive from my friends is "I love your letters. You make me laugh so hard!" or something like unto that. I'm glad I can be some sort of comic relief.


So, I lost Elder Watkins' mission address. Some would think that I'm close to the family so I would be okay with giving them a call [seeing as I still have their home phone number] and asking for his address. Sometimes I feel like they still don't like who I am and what I've brought to mind in Elder Watkins and Amy. In short, his father scares me, and I feel constantly judged by Dr. Watkins. His mother is quite nice, but she's a hard person to read. Maybe it's my paranoia getting to me. All I know is that I'm glad that I'm not set on marrying him anymore. I'm glad we stopped dating, although I didn't act like I was happy about it for a long, long time. I'm happy that we're still friends, even though I find it more casual then some people think.


I hung out with Valory, Ammon and Rees last night. I love being with them. I love making new friends! I didn't really know Valory until last night, and she's so fun. I am a little sad, though, that old friends are becoming past friends. it's not really something I can control. I don't mean to lose friends, they just find other things to occupy their time with. Boyfriends, girlfriends, more friends, alcohol. Sad.

I'm going to catch up on WorldCiv now.

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Posture


I love this picture. Rees, however, has terrible posture. That's okay; we like him all the same. :]]] Happy Days to you.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

I love Frank Sinatra.

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do


You know what?, you're lovely
You know what?, you're so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor


When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos


And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance


I won't dance, don't ask me,
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do


You know what?, you're lovely,
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor


When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos


and that's why

I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance!!

One Last Thing (tonight)


So beautiful, so beautiful.

It's like a limb-torn arm.

I went to church at my BYU-Idaho ward today. As usual, there is nothing worse than seeing skimpy dresses accompanied with leggings at sacrament. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. I don't see how people find that modest. I suppose that it shouldn't bother me as much as it does. Oh well.

On a happier side, church was wonderful. I love learning more about Joseph Smith. He was an amazing man! Goodness gracious.

How Far do I Have to Go to Get to You?

1.
I've come to realize that my job...
Is rather stressful but it brings a lot of fun into my life.

2. I've come to realize that when I'm driving...
I listen to my music a little too loud. I don't mind, but I'm sure other people do when I notice them staring at me while I sing at the top of my lungs.

3. I've come to realize that I need...
to make new friends, and make sure the old friends become lasting friends.


4. I've come to realize that I have lost...
a lot of relationships in my life, but building new and better ones makes it okay.

5. I've come to realize that I hate it when...
People aren't loyal. It drives me totally and completely insane.

6. I've come to realize that what's most important...
is that I come first.

7. I've come to realize that money...
unfortunately is needed to survive in this lame economy.

8. I've come to realize that certain people...
not certain. All people can bring in something interesting and new into your life it you don't judge based upon silly pretenses.

9. I've come to realize that I'll always be....
wanting more from myself. Stressing myself out to make myself better as fast as I can, when it's not fully possible to happen the next day.

10. I've come to realize that I'm in love with....
myself. Only when you can love yourself you can love someone else. It's sad that people don't realize that.

11. I've come to realize that my mom..
is awesome. So what if she's dead?

12. I've come to realize that my cell phone...
can become a nuisance. I have the will power to turn it off.. do you?

13. I've come to realize, when I woke up this morning....
I was waking up at a decent time on my day off. Whoah.

14. I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep...
I really wanted to be where I could thrive. Intellectually, emotionally, physically. I need my actual best friend to help me realize things.

15. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about....
how nervous I am to take Heather's pictures today.

16. I've come to realize that my dad....
is human. He's not the super hero I thought he was when I was young, because humans make mistakes. But it's okay. I love him more than anyone in this whole world.

17. I've come to realize that today ...
Is just starting.. and it's a beautiful day to take pictures.

18. I've come to realize that tonight....
hasn't happened, and it will most likely be spent with a new friend and family.

19. I've come to realize that tomorrow...

will be a good day.

20. I've come to realize I don't like..
people who are flaky. People who are self absorbed. People who don't love. People that judge.

dreams

Dreams are very interesting things. I looked up dreams on Wiki, and this is what it told me:

There is no universally agreed biological definition of dreaming. General observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with raid eye movement (REM) during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness. Participant-non remembered dreams during non-REM sleep are normally more mundane in comparison. During a typical lifespan, a human spends a total of about six years dreaming (which is about 2 hours each night). It is unknown where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple portions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind.

During REM sleep, the release of certain neurotransmitters is completely suppressed. As a result, motor neurons are not stimulated, a condition known as REM atonia. This prevents dreams from resulting in dangerous movements of the body.

So, what that tells me is that a dream is maybe originating from certain parts of your brain when neurons fire, which results in dreaming. I don't know how to explain it to you, but I understand what I said. :]] But either way, dreams are interesting. Like my dream last night.

Before I fell asleep, I wrote in my journal--which hasn't happened in ages--about how much I miss my friends that are on missions. I fell asleep, and I dreamed about two out of the three of them. (no, not daniel... as that is to be expected.) But one was very hectic, and unruly, the other, more of a sweet gentle dream... just.. comfortable.

I don't know. I find it interesting.

Fresh Baked Muffins

So, I find it interesting how dedicated people are to their friends. It makes sense, doesn't it? Good friends, together until the end. haha. But when I think about myself, I don't really dedicate my whole self to friends. I'm always guarded, and I feel like I read people really well. This one friend for example, she always tells the same story everyday for like a week depending on who she sees. It shouldn't bother me, right? But what if the story gets ever most imaginative and full of junk each time? Should I step in, make her look like a fool, or should I stay quiet and don't worry about it? It's hard for me to take sometimes, because that is how she gets her sympathy votes and her friends wrapped around her finger. But of course, she claims she doesn't do it on purpose, but for the sake of me, having to hear that story so often. Cha. Yeah, right. I don't think I can be her friend while she dates people, either. I can't stand the fact that they fall over her every exaggerated story and her neediness. Ugh. Disgusting.

Also, she's explained to me how she hates that I call her out on different things. Tough luck, girly. I do that to everyone. Okay. I'm finished.

Pictures



We--meaning Rees and I--went out to talk pictures this morning. And by morning it's like 5 am. But it was so fun. This picture was taken out on the dry farms, somewhere on the SouthEast side.


That's the sun. Awesome, huh? The sunrise wasn't as cool as we wanted it to be, but that's ok. We worked with what we had.
