holy snow.

it definitely snowed today.
i mean, it wasn't very much. but STILL. how many times a year
does it snow in st. george? a total of 1 or possibly 2 times a year.
so i'm darfinitely going to have to get used to that.

it's also like, 20 degrees. everyday.

it's quite nipply. i mean nippy. he he he.

oh, there's only 9  days until i come home!

                wahooooo.

the phoebs.

this. is phoebe. 

and that. is what she does. all day long. 

everyday.

when she's not being annoying, i actually like her. she has a raspy voice. and she's missing a bunch of teeth.

which makes her look like a cute, innocent child. 

but looks can be deceiving. she knows how to throw a fit. and she throws

them over the most ridiculous, stupid things. 

for example; having to go back to lollipop lane when she has almost gotten to the end of candyland.

she still would have been ahead of me by about 50 squares....

but brats will be brats. how ironic because guess what she got for hanukkah as 1 of her 15 presents?

2 bratz dolls. and one was named phoebe....

anyways.....it's not really as bad as i'm making it sound. i actually like it. i have most of the day for free time. which is a bonus.

want to know what else is a bonus?

bam. gonzo.

finished a whole stick of chap. you can see that it has been well used.

welp. i really suck at blogging. even though i have all the free time in the world. maybe tomorrow i'll give a little run-down of my schedule. yay.

oh-n-bytheway...... i miss you:

i'll see you soon. :)

home, sweet home.

there it is.

my new home for a whole year.

yep. it's quite the change. it's about three degrees.

in other words, it's colder then a freaking ice berg.

hahaha. not really. 

but it is reeeeeeeelly cold.

which is not good for my bones....

i hope i don't go insane while i'm here. because that's quite possible. honestly.

until i find some friends which will hopefully be....on sunday. yay! i don't think i've ever been so excited to go to church in my life. just fyi. 

maybe i'll find a hunka, hunka, burnin' love?

                                                                shya...... most likely. not.

anywhaaaays....... if anyone reads this, please keep in touch.  :)

what the bunk.

so do you wannna know what sucks?

i'll tell you what sucks.


when you do a really long, detailed post and it magically gets lost right around the time you try to post it.

that's what sucks.

i know this because it happened to me.

and i was like,   what the bunk?!


and then i got pretty pissed so i threw my computer, trashed my room, punched a hole in my wall, kicked my dog, yelled at the mirror, cursed at blogger, and i took a louisville slugger to my neighbors car.


                  haha.


just kidding. i didn't do any of those things.
which is weird. because one time i was playing mario world on my brothers gameboy and i got so mad at it i snapped it right in two.  yeah...... he never figured out where his gameboy went.


but i figured that's just a sign that i'm maturing. because i don't get upset easily like i used to. and i don't worry about stupid little things like i used to. and i don't like to gossip. like i used to....

which there seems to be a lot of at my house lately.
and i don't like it.

one more wedding to go. and i am thrilled that it will be over soon.

so. peace and blessings. peace and blessings.

you are a frool.

yep. fool mixed with freak.
sickie right?

i love this girl.

she's da bestest.

we rep young money. you know..slim...baby?

and we be giving money to the babies down in haiti.

  thanks for being my headband making partner.

and red box watching partner.

and waffle making partner at one in the morning.

and allowing me to eat all your snacks.

i loff you.

comfort.

i decided that i'm comfortable.

with everything.
i'm comfortable with sitting at my house on friday nights.
and watching movies by myself.
and only having a total of three friends i can call to hang out with.
i hate trying out new things if i think it's going to be scary or i'll look like an idiot.
but you know what?

no more.


the only one really judging me is the lord. and that's the only thing that matters.
everyone always claims that life is too short not to have fun and "live it to the fullest"
and today i realized, holy shiz! these people are correct!

so starting here, right now, 2:05 pm, september 18, 2010, i'm out of my comfort zone.
i can already tell that i'm probably going to hate myself for this little self revelation, but i don't care.




so guess what i'm doing?
i'm going to nanny. for a family in maryland. guess what's convenient? they're mormon. what are the odds, huh?
i'm super excited though. because i'm going to be making bank!

and guess what else is cool? my bestie from c-dar came down for a lil' visit. he's kinda a fool though. but i still miss him. a lot. everyday. i'm going to miss all my peeps when i leave for this nanny shindig.
that's a weird word, shindig. alex halladay, name that movie?

 if i were a lion, and you were a tuna, i would eat you.
i highly recommend going to see the other guys. it's such a knee slapper.

over and out.

long time, no blog.

so.
i feel like this is an awkward meeting of a family member that you
haven't seen for ages.

am i right?

hahahaha.

life has been busy. well not really. but you know.

my second brother was successfully married in the logan temple. it's beautiful by the way. so now i officially have three sisters in law. soon to be four. yay. who knew i would have so many sisters? and all in a matter of months.
my mom is basically a nut job. this wedding business gets her all stressed out. good thing she has a good daughter {me} to help her out. here's a little look at the weddin'.....


well. nevermind.
my computer is being extremely uncooperative.
so i can share pictures later.
but for now. i'm going to bed. because i have a job. i work every day. from 11 to 3. cool huh?
                       not really.

but i need the cash money. and it's fun.
     so what the fuzz.

thank you. and goodnight.

sup st george?

i am, as of right now, sitting in my family room. in santa clara utah. and i'm glad. my homie galexy is right next to me.
we have fun. even though we do nothing at all.
i love her.
but. now that i'm home, i feel a little lost.
for some reason i need a direction to send my brain in.
something to focus on.

i'm not quite sure what that is yet.
hopefully i find something soon.

not going back to high school is taking quite the toll on me.
never did i think i would be so sad about not going back.
schs, i shall miss thy salmon and teal flooring, cabinets, and walls.

please don't let me go, i desperately need you.

keys. oh keys.

keys. oh keys, oh where hath thee fled?
hath thee toiled too long amongst the things in my bag?


keys. i want you back.


so i can go camping with my family tomorrow.


and so i can move home.


and so i can have my car back.


i love you keys.


keys.....



keys............!

wild wanderings.

yesterday was probably one of the craziest wednesdays i have ever had.
and it wasn't even that great.
but it was.
you know what i'm saying?

seriously though.....brittany, alex, and myself decided to go for a little spin around the town looking for men.
which....i don't know why. it was already 1:00 in the morning.
we cruised around p town yelling out the windows, laughing hysterically, cat calling, mocking the pda couples that are out at all hours of the night, attempting to get guys, singing at the top of our lungs, stalking people, and basically just being crazy people.

we did meet a guy though.
his name is nate.
we had a nice chat at 1:30 in the morning.
he got my digits.
he texted me.
and this is how the convo went;

                        well hi. :)   -nate
                        hey! this this my friend nate?    -me{note the retarded word mix up}
                        sure is! what's your last name?   -nate
                        willard. so wanna hang out?     -me
                       no response       -nate

just as fair warning, if i disappear, you'll know why.
i gave my number to a random stranger and told him my first and last name.
he's probably stalking me as i type.
but that's not likely.
you see, he goes to byu.


haha


here were two of the quotes of the night;

    "i'm ovulating!"   - brittany

        "we're ovulating!" - alex
"isn't that supposed to attract men immediately?"  -alex.


      "why didn't he text you back?"   -alex
"he obviously didn't want my bod."  -melissa
       "yeah he did."   -brittany
"i should have flashed him."  -melissa
        "YEAH!"  -alex and brittany in unison

*note. a mystery person most likely slipped something into the brownies we ate. because we normally don't say things like this.


           so all in all. we got zero men. but i can't really blame the men. i wouldn't exactly come running up to a car with girls screaming they're ovulating that are acting as if they're from the insane asylum.

 all the same. it was one of the best nights ever.
you should be sad you missed out on such an event.

something borrowed, something blue.

let me tell you.
my brother, jaden, and his adorable wife tiffany were married in the st. geezy temple on saturday, the 31st of july. they are completely adorable.

they honestly make the cutest couple and i am so excited and happy for them!

their luncheon and reception were both very cute. props to pen for the luncheon, and props to sheryl{tiffs mom} for the reception. 

this is myself and my future sisters-in-law and two of my bothers.
kylee is on the left with her fianc randon, and alli on the right with her fianc josh.

oh. this is Gemma. she's my niece. and she's adorable.

this is the leany clan. they're the best.
dar, kev, marci, and erika.

and here's a little sample of the reception.....

{it rained for a little minute, so there was a gorgeous rainbow!}

i apologize for being so horrible at documenting..... galexy took more pictures then i did and it wasn't even her brothers wedding! 

but. 

i'm sure you can still tell that it was beautiful, and the thing i loved the most was that it was simple. tiff is so easy going and she doesn't need anything elaborate to be happy. i'm so glad she's my sister-in-law now!

the above picture is of my brother randon. he is hysterical. and he thinks he's pretty hot stuff, but i guess some say he is.... so we let him think that.

the day after the wedding, the fam took a quick trip to pine valley to have a bbq with my sister-in-law amanda's parents at their fantastico cabin. slash massive house. we did some pickle ball tourney-age. it was great fun. i came in third in the girls bracket. i guess i stink. he he. 

levi is amaze-a-zing at pickle ball.
and he's suuuuper competitive.
you can't tell at all.......

this is the gang.

just playing a sweet game of nerts.

she really is the cutest thing evvver.

this is coop. he's a beast. but oh so cute.

she fell asleep on the four wheeler ride!

all in all, i would say i had an incredible weekend. i had soooo much fun seeing a few friends, and all of my family! i love them.

and no.

just because everyone else in my family is getting married.

that does not mean i'm going to.

i repeat.

i am not getting married.

well. hopefully someday. 

but that will be far in the future....

cause honestly, i don't think any one would want to marry this;

hot right?

sweet sweet sandwiches.

           just as a quick heads up, the title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with the
actual post. he he.
i just thought of it and i couldn't help but make that the title.

    -anyways-

yesterday. some dear friends from the stg were in provo. like two steps away from where i live. so. alex, rachel, and myself, met these said dear friends at applebee's in the gateway for some sweet sweet salad. okay so i guess the title corresponds with the post. but it wasn't planned. ha! k back to my salad...thats what i had. an asian chicken salad. it was amaze-A-zing. and here we are. all happy to be eating delicious food:

{i apologize to those we aren't seen very well}

so. from the left it goes; alex, nick, benzie, balex, megan, emily, brady, hen, jacob, myslef, and krachel.

aren't we a great lookin bunch?

i though so. it was great to see friends from home! thanks for allowing us to eat with you guys!

{they decided to eat rachel's food when she went to the restroom}

we also hit up barnes and noble..... this was hen's idea.

apparently he loves books....

on the ride home, our dearest krachel decided to be really hysterical. the following are quotes directly from her.

        "melissa, remember that one time we went too far?" - rachel
                                  "ummmm..............."      - melissa

 "melissa. i want you to eat this and tell me how you feel." - rachel {holding an unknown object in her fist}          
                  

   "melissa! close your mouth, open your eyes!" - rachel {as she's trying to put a sour jelly bean in my mouth}

      "but it tastes SOO good in your mouth!" - rachel {as i refuse to open my mouth}

        "that's what she said..." - alex {she says this very quietly}
                                                            
 "Ah! alex, get your head out of the dirt!" - rachel   
                                                                                                                                                                                          
                      
        and when i completely refused to let her put an orange sour jelly bean in my mouth, she says this:
                                    
                                  "                          " - rachel

           okay. i'm not going to tell you what she said because it's super  inappropriate for young audiences.

ohhhh rachel. she's a hoot!

 and to anyone that cares, i'm going to st. george this weekend! yesssss!

something missing.....

yesterday i was thinking. "my life seems to be missing something....." and today i figured out what it was. The spoken of missing "thing" is the people i love. I know right? I'm turning into a sap. that's a joke....i'm really not.
haha.
but  really.
i miss a lot of people.
here are a few of the ones i miss the most.

{of course i miss the rest of my family, but pictures
of them are limited to zero. so pen pen gets to rep them all}

{i know...i was wondering why i was missing this too. but i do}

{awww! isn't he cute? you know you would miss him too.}

{this girl is basically my sister.}

{i definitely don't miss the attitude.....}

{ain't she a gem?}

{these are my favorite sarcastic people on the planet.
 don't we look hawt?}

I guess part of growing up and moving away is leaving behind people that you're going to miss.

but thanks to technology, yess i love technology, i can speak with these people at almost any time! 

i'm glad that i have met so many incredible people in my life. 

and i'm glad that i can call these people my friends.
i wish i could picture them all, but let's face it, even though i'm amazing, it would take me FOREVER to do that. so, i will just give them a shout out. here's to them: was up homies?! 

oh and one more thing.............

this lil' beauty is officially 18! calling all boys: she is date-able! okay....so i guess she was date-able two years ago. but now she's mature! (say this the way mr. hunt would say it) well....maybe not. but whatever. so. i wish her an extremely happy birthday!  you krave dem' we bave dem'.  and i won't make you walk across the frilled..... the car in your air just sucks.  I LOVE YOU ALEX!

yep. i posted. for the second time.

soooo..... i finally have the internet at my apartment. thanks to my dear brother josh. he's such a good brother. always ready and willing to help.
 provo is....good beans. i need a job. so i don't just sit around and waste
all my time.
and i need a boyfriend or something.
or even just some more friends.
rachel and alex: i love you both. BUT. you go to school all day and do homework, while i do nothing. so some more friends might be nice. i think so. cross your fingers for me.
 p.s. i was thinking that kiwi anne would be a super cute baby name. yay? or nay?
alex hoskins: i miss you. like, a lot. i wish i could park in your driveway in my designated spot by the dollar truck, and eat all your food/treats/candy. and i even miss kyle asking me to get him apple juice. and tracy. and schnyd.
ohhhhh. growing up. its not fun.
well. maybe it is. i can't decide. no curfew and no more child slavery is a plus. i love you mom. and dad.
i knew my parents were really sickie parents, but i really realized it even more when i moved away.
oh! check out my room. its bigger than my room at home......

peace and blessings.

out of the loop.

i. am officially out of the blogging loop. i absolutely can NOT blog. you know those things that you wish you could do, but it's just not possible for you to do them? yep. this is one of those things. BUT. i'm trying it out. just for fun. sometimes i surprise myself. but more not than often. ya dig?
