So I am blogging! Woohoo!!!! I really have no idea what I am going to write so we'll see what happens. I've been in a rather "deep thinking" mood lately and last night I spit out a great deal of my thoughts into my journal for several hours. I almost considered posting it but changed my mind because I rather talk of much sillier things..... Like chocolate chip cookie bars! Guess who has been craving them.....ME and I have more than ONE day off this week to make them.....YAY!!!!!!! *cheering with hands clasped, waving from side to side*
Anywhoo.....I have decided to write my thought process in a few minutes:
To start, it is gorgeous out today and I REALLY wanna take pictures but all my "models" are preoccupied with work or school. =[ I am tempted to dig out my remote and shoot myself (wow that sounded odd....), I have only ever done that once....and the pictures turned out well I think. Maybe I should.....but then I'd feel vain and that is no good.....but it's pretty out, a lovely 45 degrees! Given there is wind but I can't complain, it's warm enough for me. Glad I'm not in Idaho right now....
Though I do LOVE Idaho. Ah Idaho....good times.....6 1/2 weeks until I go back! I like to think it is Friday and then I can round down to 6 because 6 seems SO small, but 7 seems big.....why is that??? Weird. Ah but weird is good like the awesome weird and AWESOME music Yutsil gave me today! Though it didn't all transfer, I'll get the rest Thursday. I am psyched after the first mix she made me. My music library is gonna rock! And then I can dance around like a total goof and have a blast while doing so. Ah I want a dance party!
Maybe if Kris isn't busy after work we shall have to go have a mini little dance party with our silly selves like we did 2 weeks ago when we went downtown. Random little dance parties are the best. The carefree, "I am having fun so deal with it" feeling is great and worth the silliness. Besides, why do we ever care about what the strangers that we'll probably never see again think about us anyway? Exactly, we shouldn't care. And that is why I love goofing off, plus everyone is secretly jealous of all the fun you're having while they're miserable and boring.....well that or that you're a crazy loony.
But yes, actually Yutsil would dance with me too. She is adorable, I wish I was as adorable as she is. I also wish I could sing like her but that is for another story for another day. I love hanging out with her. She's one of those people you can sit down for hours and never have a moment of silence but also never have a one way conversation (yes I know I can talk anyone's ear off except maybe my Aunt Bobby or my mother). But Yutsil is one of those few people that can keep up with me, and puts in equally as much to the conversation as I do and we NEVER run out of things to talk about ever. In all honestly we ALWAYS run out of time before we run out of things to say. Do you not love people like that??? All the same, it helps that she has a very similar mindset to me in beliefs, in morals and all around girly yet somewhat logical topics. I mean we still disagree like normal human beings but we don't fight over anything. Overall I am wondering why I didn't get to really know her sooner and hoping we stay good friends. I'm glad I'm getting to know her now though, even if it's bad timing but heaven knows I seem to make friends with people at the last minute more than not lately.
But yeah I guess that is just what is on my mind today. That and I think I may go hang out with my mother. Gosh I love her! She is amazing and more than anything I just wanna hang out with her all the time lately but it seems our schedules tend to conflict. =[
But we did get to watch Revenge of the Bridesmaids on netflix today. (Catherine go watch it RIGHT NOW!) Everyone else, well....watch it if you're a girl or don't mind somewhat silly chick flicks.
Yeah that's life. Hope you're all having a WONDERFUL DAY! Smiling for 10 seconds will make you and everyone else feel a little better. SMILE!!! Life is an adventure, enjoy the happy moments and learn from the hard ones but don't ever give up. And at the end of the day I hope you've learned and laughed.
I'm awake in the afternoon
Fell asleep in the living room
It's one of those moments
When everything is so clear

Home Away From Home
Soooo apparently I put too long of posts and no one reads them anymore except Hannah because she is a fast reader; therefore, I will keep this short.
I am back in NC and sleep deprived from over cleaning this past week and packing as well as getting up at 5:30am, to take a bus ride and 2 plane rides to get home and not going to bed until 2am.
Currently I am not tired due to lovely jet-lag.
It's like I am home but not really. I have been warned of this feeling before, but I never fully understood it until now.
Suddenly my room seems childlish, my town seems strangely big, my ward at church seems loud and unfamiliar, and suddenly freedom and responsibility are reversed.
Do not get me wrong, I love being home. It is great to have my close friends nearby and my family around and I absolutely adore hugging people, but it is different. Part of me yearns to be back in Idaho because now part of my heart belongs there, but at the same time, I love the South. The South is amazing with it's culture and awesome food and hospitality that you cannot find anywhere else.
It is home, but not completely.
I will embrace it to the best of my ability but until then, I must learn to accept that home is where the people you care about reside. And now my heart resides with people all over the country, spreading from East to West with the friends I have made and the people I have met and grown to love.

What are men to rocks and mountains?
Today has been quite a lovely day! My alarm technically went off on time but I didn't get up for 20 minutes, leaving me 20 minutes to get ready (or so I thought). But being my brilliant self, showered the night before and got ready with ease and grace and looked rather cute if I do say so myself. I tried calling Albert to make sure we were walking to church together, but someone forgot to turn their phone back on......and off I went on my own, up the hill to church. I power walked it in my high heeled boots and got there about the same time as the cars that were driving the same way. I was quite proud of myself.
All the same, as I was walking up, who did I see but Brent and Bill! I was quite surprised they hadn't left for Burley already but according to Brent they were too lazy and tired to drive, therefore they slept yesterday to rest up. We got to church to find that half the stake had been told 9am and the other 9:30am. And after being quite good and getting there on time and everything. But we just relaxed for a bit and chatted. I felt more than usually small sitting next to two 6'4" guys plus Brent's shoes were about twice the size of mine. Talk about overwhelming, luckily they are all easy and I am pretty sure I was sitting next to the two coolest guys there. (They are so fun!) Albert came later and I did not see him until after sacrament.
Church ended up having sacrament, then 3 Sunday schools, but based on seating I didn't have to move, but Brent and Bill left to go home before the snow got too bad. Then for Relief Society, we were in the same room. I got to sit in the same seat for 3 hours....that was fun. (This was the same room we had Catherine's wedding reception in by the way). But church was quite good and I got my Temple Recommend but I still need to get the Stake President to sign it.
This afternoon was nice, I came back and I made Albert and I wraps with chicken, lettuce, ranch dressing and salsa on top. It was YUMMY. I even got to talk to my dear sister today =] Ah how I love talking to her.
And now I am watching Pride and Prejudice. Albert watched the first half with me. The snow started this morning and has yet to stop, but it is not to stop until Wednesday and then it is going to be a high of 9 degrees. I am a tad nervous but I kind of like the snow. It makes the break seem homely and warm. I desperately wish to have the classic Christmas movies, while curled up in a blanket on the couch, drinking hot cocoa. What a wonderful thought.
Anyway, this weather is making me quite happy, at least until school starts back up next week. Plus in the evening, Idaho gives off this beautiful pinkish glow of the sun setting behind the thick snowy clouds and it is a gorgeous site.
But now I am off to go drink some milk (I have most of a gallon to drink by Wednesday, as if it is a challenge though), Man I wish I had some cinnamon bears right now. Maybe I shall eat some chocolate (teeheehee). I bought some yesterday for the first time since I've been here. =D I forgot how happy it makes you feel =D =D =D
Now to go finish a letter. I promise to write you all that are far from Rexburg at present.Oh and I think the people in this whole complex have decided that since most people are gone that they must make up for the noise, for they have been running up and down their apartment and the breezeways to no end. It has never been this loud since I've been here, what is this craziness? Oh well. I love y'all dearly.
Jack: You are not to talk of Miss Cardew like that. I don’t like it.
Algernon: Well, I don’t like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don’t you go up and change? It is perfectly childish to be in deep mourning for a man who is actually staying for a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Jack: You are certainly not staying with me for a whole week as a guest or anything else. You have got to leave… by the four-five train.
Algernon: I certainly won’t leave you so long as you are in mourning. It would be most unfriendly. If I were in mourning you would stay with me, I suppose. I should think it very unkind if you didn’t.
Jack: Well, will you go if I change my clothes?
Algernon: Yes, if you are not too long. I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Jack: Well, at any rate, that is better than being always over- dressed as you are.
Algernon: If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

We Live Life on Porches and Swing Life Away
If you don't know the song from my title, check it out. (Sorry it's not a great version of the song)
I like this song, not sure why, maybe it just reminds me of growing up with everyone still at home. Plus I have spent many a summer days lying on our porch swing back home just contemplating life in general.
Now, do not take this the wrong way, I love Idaho, I love everything about Idaho (except the wind) and I love the people and spirit of the campus. I love my roommates and I love the freedom of being here on my own. But lately I just miss me time. I know I have said it before but it's because I get so little of it. Even when I'm in my room alone, people are STILL around regardless. In that sense, I am actually kind of looking forward to this break, though yes it may be a little scary having my apartment to myself; I still know Albert is less than 100 feet away. But mostly I want to be alone, just for awhile. I feel like my mind is kind of boggled because I have lots to focus on that I don't have time to sort it out without my thought process being interrupted by a giggle or someone walking in, or my stomach growling or the wind blowing.
I am ready to unwind, I am ready for this break, to relax and free my mind. Sorry to anyone if I've been short with them or angsty, I just have a great deal on my mind, and unlike Albert and Catherine, I have yet to master it or appear to have mastered it.
I recommend to all of you, to take a walk, unwind, let your mind flow openly and let go of your fears, worries, and doubts for just 10 minutes. It will make a world of difference. If you need, pick a favorite song and just sing along, no one has to hear, it is just you and the music.
I'm grateful for songs like these, that remind me of the past, that allow me to relax as much as I can within these four walls that I now call home.
I love you all, and miss you. I can't wait to see Catherine and Jesse next week and the rest of you in December, a month from tomorrow.
You'll come back when it's over,
No need to say goodbye
you'll come back when it's over

Home Sweet Home!
As promised I am posting pictures of my new apartment and home for the next 4 months. I already love my roommates and can't wait to get to know them all better...after we find a good shower curtain. They were all sold out. =/ Anyway, here is our little home in Idaho.
Rachel and I's room, bet you can't guess which one is my bed...
And it looks crowded but trust me it was MUCH worse!
All Rachel's stuff, she thought of EVERYTHING, she is pretty much brilliant!
My side, looks pretty much like my room back home =]
Our closet with our gazillions of clothes! Yay for fashioneestas!
The more conservative ones, Cacia and Alisa. Not quite so insane but always so sweet.
Our mile long counter which we need, with 2 showers and 2 toilets, though we need a good shower curtain.
Our little living room, Rachel and I have not taken over it yet...=]
The view from the front door...
Yay for tv and movies!
Our kitchen! Which finally feels homely due to ALL the cabinets filled with food and having all the works when it comes to cooking tools. Out home teachers will love us. =]
Sadly our fridge is naked and has no decorations yet, but we will fix it. We are working on a way to brighten up the rooms.
Until next time!

My thought process in a few minutes
I am hungry....But why am I hungry? I just ate dinner *looks at clock* oh I guess an hour ago. But Chase says my stomach is the size of my fist *makes fist* dang it....I have tiny hands. That doesn't sound right, otherwise I over eat WAAAY too much....that or food compacts into a third of the size that it starts out as. Speaking of fractions, I need to work on those recipes. Man I've been working or trying to work on those for...2 weeks now? Maybe less....and I'm only in the C's.....dang. Now I wanna make cookies! Oooo cookies! But they're more fun w/ friends. I'll make um tomorrow, but I also wanna hang w/ Kris and. get that camera from Anji.
Ah cameras! I haven't used mine in forever! OOO must take pictures this week, better remind myself *makes note on phone* Dang I have other stuff to do today too. Meh, I should stop blogging but I am so excited! Alisa finally added our roommates on facebook! Which makes me waaay too excited for college, ah college...stealing all my money but at least I have enough money for rent this fall, finally. What an accomplishment, I'm so proud of myself! =] Alright Megan, chill out that ego there. Ouch! Sunburn...yeah so if you go swimming and get sun burnt, just because it looks mostly gone the next day, doesn't mean you should go swimming again. Eh it's not that bad.
Agggh now I'm cold. Oh which reminds me, I finally learned my comfort zone is from 74 to 80 degrees =] Ah I like controlling temperatures. Uggh like when you go to a persons' house and it's negative 20 and you're shivering your butt off and they look at you like you're crazy because you are cold. Then you feel lame for feeling cold but you can't even go get a blanket because it's not your house and you can't feel your feet anyway! That's why I bring a jacket or 2 to church, and I am going to Idaho......I Am Brilliant......yeah that's it, brilliant.
Well now I am cold and will actually work on those recipes for college........................ooo I bet Catherine will make cookies with me when she gets here! Her and Jesse come Wednesday!!!! Yayayayayayay!!!
Home baked cookies are warm!
Nap outside?
