I am Learned

Lately, I've been looking back on my life,

and seeing all the things I've done and learned that have shaped me into who I am today.

Things like:

Girls are mean idiots

Boys are mean idiots

Sisters rock

Your parents really do know a lot more than you give them credit for

Love is more powerful than horcruxes

Books are better than movies

Holding hands with boys is nice

Kissing them is nice too

Sometimes crying is ok

Sometimes laughing is better

Sometimes the things that are hardest are the most worthwhile

People die, but goodbyes don't last forever

Best friends are better than dollars

and

Families are the best things in the world.

These are things that I have learned across my entire life. Not all of them have been easy to learn, but I am glad to know them all.

Since I have moved out, and met life head-on here at Utah State, I have learned many more important things about life.

Including:

Boys are still idiots

Anything tastes better when you drink it out of a shot glass

(now don't worry I only drink non-alcoholic shots- usually Dr. Pepper)

Hot Rod is a great movie

It is possible (though not at all recommended) to live solely off of potato chips and ramen noodles

Mice can swim

Jane Austen is always a good idea

Riding from St. George to Las Vegas on the back of a motorcycle is NEVER a good idea.

Even many miles can't sever the strongest friendships

Wal-Mart is easy to memorize

The best Ben&Jerrys ice cream is the strawberry cheesecake

Playing the guitar is lots of fun

500 Days of Summer is the best movie in the world

Happy Meals are just the right size

Bonfires are epic

4 Wheeling is all sorts of fun

Jeeping is too

 Sometimes doing nothing ends up being the most fun

Logan is cold

Swing dancing is the best

Sometimes, you have to do horrible things to sheep

Potato chips, Grapes, and Frosting are a surprisingly delicious combination

Pinterest is ridiculously addictive

Random boys that ask for your number are 87% of the time just total creeps

Aggie Basketball is the best thing ever

Money sucks

Never let the viewing of "Charly" and PMS ever occur at the same time

Boys are afraid of rats

Your roomies will be there for you no matter what

Years go by a lot faster than they did when you were little

Don't take free laundry for granted

Being single is ok

Life is too short to spend it moping

Dancing in the rain is actually a lot of fun

and

Families will always be the best things in the world

The End



BON VOYAGE!!

Some of you may judge me for the tale I'm about to tell.

Do it.

I don't give a flying fart in space.

Today, I was a participant in the great, the chaotic, the hilarious,

2011 Mouse-Boat Races!

Yes.
We bulit boats.

Put mice in them.

And raced them down a river.

This was my boat.

It is made out of styrofoam, popsicle sticks, ribbon, and hope.

It was without a doubt the cutest boat there.

Myself, and my fellow boat builders.

Our fearless seafarers

The captain readying his ship.

Our ship and sailor, readying for departure.

I didn't ever officially name our mouse,

but in retrospect... I like the sound of

Captain Whipwhiskers

And they're off!!!

Navigating through terrible rapids.

So far Cap'n Whipwhiskers is holding steady in second place.

Then, tragedy struck when the boat capsized.

We can only hope that the good Captain was wise enough to swim to shore.

If not, we mourn his loss.

This boat was the ultimate champion.

It's a big shoe box with water bottles stuck onto the bottom.

As far as rodent-vessels go- it was pretty much bad-A.

3 out of 5 mice-sailors made it out alive.

Cap'n Whipwhiskers and one other were the only casualties.

This brave youngster seems quite unphased by the whole ordeal.

Bless his little whiskered soul.

{All in All}

It was a hilarious endeavor that I thoroughly enjoyed.

If you are ever bored

And you have extra mice,

I heartily suggest that you do this.

THE END.

As Promised

Here's the pic of us with the sexy mandolin player (on the right ) and his twin that played the bass. Enjoy :)

SPRING BREAK me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!

So all my home skillets. I just got back from a week in GLORIOUS St. George. And when I say GLORIOUS, pretty much I absolutely mean it. Seriously. 

I went down and spent the week in a condo with a bunch of people from my apartment building and we had a frabjous time of it! I swam, tanned (well, since I'm a ginger I just freckled), hiked, 4-wheeled, giggled, flirted, partied, and camped to my heart's content. It was splendid times.

My absolute favorite part though, was the day we spent in Vegas. If you've never been to Vegas, it's like a Disneyland where dreams don't always come true, and everyone smokes. And Mickey is probably wearing a thong. Other than all of that stuff though, Vegas is pretty legit. Every crazy thing you've ever imagined ever  before... in the world... is in Vegas. They have it all. Just walking down the street I saw a half naked guy dressed as a sparkly demon man, a crazy juggling guy, way way WAY too much spandex, and a man with large snakes around his neck. I thought the snakes were super awesome, so I asked if I could hold them and.....

That's right, I'm holding a giant snake. And I'm obviously very excited about it.

Here's my group of buddies that I went with, I adore them all. And yes, I am incredibly short.

Now I'm back in Logan, and it's very rainy. I don't approve. Give me sunshine or give me death!!!!!
