When the Singles Get Together.....

On August 10,11, and 12th I went to a Statewide Young Single Adult Conference.

It was a blast!!!

 

These are two of my best friends!!

 

Tammys popsicle was melting soo fast, she had to just kinda shove it in her mouth.

 

 

This is my good friend Rene, we switched glasses. What do you think?

Just Keep Swimming!!!

    I was asked by the people I nanny if I could take care of their pets while they are gone. I was kinda shocked but very pleased to see that along with the mail key and appartment key they gave me the pool key. Guess where I was for a week? Thats right, the pool. I only ended up going three times, but it was really fun!!!

   Do you guys remember that one week where everyday was 90degrees? Well it was that week.

    Once only my sister and I went, we want to go again but take the water cameras with us. That would be EPIC!! We would need like 20 camera for that, because we wouldn't want to stop taking pictures!!

 

Oh did I meantion that they live across from 7/11? Well they do!

Spiders!!!

   I hate Spiders!! I think there are a few poeple (like my dad) who actually like them. I have had a number of spider encounters just recently.

   1. I walk into the bathroom to use it and I look into the tollet and there is a spider wimming around having a joyice time in my tollet. Thankjully I could just flush it and it would be in spider heaven. But it was big, brown, and creepy!!! I will say it was kinda cool that it was swimming.

   2. If you are walking to my garden (dead at the moment.) and as you pass the slide to the playset there is a GIANT spider to your left, this thing is like 2in with its legs. Here is a close up shot I took today. My dad said I should have gotten close. No why in heck was I EVER going to get closer to this THING!!!

 

    3. This happened a couple years ago, but I thought it was worthy of a meantion. 

  We had a tarantula living on our front porch. It was the cutest spider I had ever seen, and it didn't scare me, infact I thought it was pretty AWESOME!! that it lived there. I was looking for a picture but I couldn't find one :(.

   Anyway, it never came neer us, it had its little coner and we just left it alone, but one day my aunt showed up and all her kids come in the house, and then we hear screeming coming from outside. We all rished out to see what was wrong. Our little pet was running towards my aunt with its front legs pointed out and it was hissing at her. It was funny, but my aunt didnt think so. I don't think it would have been funny if that happened to me. But still. 

   After that we had to relocate our little pet somewhere else, I was very sad.

 

    4. I was around 10 and for science class we needed to catch a spider. So I cought this little spider I found crawling on me. He was small and brown with little spots. I kept him in a jar with some dead grass and a rock. I made sure to  give him a lot of rolli-pollies.

  After science class I let him go free outside. But then the next day I found him sitting next to me in the famillyroom. So I stuck him back in the jar, but I didn't feed him, and he soon died.

  I cried, at age 10 I cried because I had killed my own spider!!

 

Ok enough about the creepy spiders, lets move one. To the next post!!

I Know, I know, I know....

    I talk a lot about books, and you could say I am a bookaholic. I will read almost anything kind of book you give me (as long as it is with in my standards.)

Just this past week I have finished two somewhat good books.

         The first one is called The Last Dragon By Silnana de Mari, Translater by Shaun Whiteside.
   I found it kinda boring, and somewhat ill writen. I didn't realize that it was translated and that might be why it sometimes had weird wording and whatnot. The only reason I finished it was because I have a goal, and I wanted to know how it ended.

         The second books is called  A Tale Dark And Grimm By Adam Gidwitz
   This one was really good, I finished it within two days, so it was a super easy read, and 256 pages. But it was really gross, so I wouldn't reccomed it to anyone who had a weak stomach. I do and it didnt bother me because it was fictional, but it might b a problem for other people.

More book reviews to come!!

Qualities In A Husband

    In church a couple weeks ago we talked about the qualities we want in a future husband, and how those are different from others people perspective.

  We made a list of what we are looking for, but we also need to apply these qualities to ourselves.

• Spirituality => Temple Goals
• Testimony => Sharing
• Worthy to Accept Priesthood
• Attraction
• Caring
• Humble
• Forgiving
• Wants you to Be a Better Person
• Patience
• Compassionante
• Sense of Humor
• Understanding
• Wants to Give Service
• Listener
• Education/Willing to Learn

     When I was little I was always making a list of what I want my husband to look like. I think we all have a list like that, containing how we want to meet, how are first date will be, what color his eyes will be, and so forth. Mine kinda looked like this.

• Nerdy (doesn't have to have glasses, but is a plus.)
• Blond
• Blue eyes
• Walks in on a hourse
• Takes me to a castle
• Funny
• Muscular
• Not to Tall, but Not to Short.

    Well I can't think of anything else to for my list, but you get the general idea. Think about your list and what you really want in a husband. If you already have one, love him, and let him know you do.

I have a Quest!!

   I was reading my friends blog and she talked about how she buys odd mugs from thrift stores and wherenot. And has a collection of just a whole bunch of odd or weird mugs. I think this is AWESOME!! I want my cupboard to be full of weird mugs. Just think about it.

   You don't have any other glasses, you only have a whole lot of one of a kind mugs that you have collected over the years from different thrift stores!! I want to start now!! But I have a problem. I don't have a place to put all these cool mugs, I don't have a way of storing them. So if I come across a mug that I can't live without, I will get it. But if it is one that just looks cool, but is one I don't have to have, I wont get it.

Now I am on a quest, a quest to find AWESOME mugs!!!

Return 4, take home 9!

     My sister and I rode our bikes to the library on tuesday, I love riding my bike and I love library's, so it was the best of my two favorite things.

     I went to the library with 4 books, and I meant to come home with 2-3, I came home with 9!! NINE books I tell you. my bag was small and it bearly fit.

     When people ask me if I like to read I say "I live and breathe books!!" which is a very true statment in sooo many ways. I think I have a book recomenddation for every mood, and every personality. It really bothers me when someone says they don't like to read. I just don't understand how they can not like to read! I love it! I adore reading!

     When someone tells my they don't like to read, my respons is always "You just haven't found a book good enough to read yet."

     I didn't start reading till I was 9, and I didn't like to read. It wasn't intell I found a book that I was really interested in that I started to love reading. Its funny my mom says "first I couldn't get her to read, not I can't get her to stop reading."

     A lot of my friends think I am crazy because I read sooo much, right now I believe I am reading 6-8 books all at the sametime. Sometimes I want to read one book and then the next day I want to read a different one. So it depends on my mood which book I pick up.

     Some of you may know that I have a goal to read 50 books by the end of the year, right now I am at like 23 books. So I have 22 left to go. I can do it!! I will do it!!

     I am super excited to share my love of reading with you! Thanks!

Who would have thought?

Emo, to girly girl, who would have thougtht?
    Three years ago I was borderline Emo (I didn't do all the weird emo things like cutting, or drugs.), I wore skinny jeans in weird colors, I listened to screamo (still do a little bit), I always had my hair in my face, and I wore a hoodie, even if it was hot outside. If you looked at me then, you wouldnt see the woman I am now.

    Then: I wore black and a lot of it, I wore dark heavy blue eye shadow, even black, across the whole lid. I wore eyeliner everywhere I went, even if it was just to get the mail.
My clothes may have told you I was Emo, but I wasn't, yeah sure there were times that I was sad and deppressed, but everyone has those moments. I was the happiest Emo ever!!

    Now: I wear blue jeans and t-shirts, flowery off white or pink blouses. Sometimes just jeans and t-shirts, but I try harder to look like a girl and not so much a Tomboy.

    I am still a Tomboy at heart even if my clothes don't show it. I still love to play sports, hang with the guys, and play video games. But sometimes its nice to look nice and feel pretty. :D
