Spring Fever

Something about the warm weather
Something about coming out of work and it's still light outside
Something about this boy
Something about frank sinatra. michael buble. nat king cole.
Something about knowing New York is a mere 3 days away.
Something about running 4 miles in 29 minutes.
Something about the Neon Trees concert.
Something about the dollar movie
Something about this boy...
makes me want to shout for joy.
shout for spring.

ok so... maybe this boy is more than a crush.
I think I may have just done kinda bad on my calculus test :(
because last night and the night before and tonight someone else occupied my time...
what the heck is happening. nobody has ever gotten in the way of school.
not good... haha. but i love it. and so does he.

today he extended his apartment contract through the summer.
he's staying for good. he said it was right- then we laughed.

cheesy cheesy. but true.
twitterpation i suppose

Another week come and gone.

I heart Wednesdays.
Mostly because it's produce day at Buy Low market.
and I go way early in the morning. with all the old people.

today I cried. not because I was stressed or anxious, sad or depressed.
But because I felt bad for someone. I want to help her but I don't know how.
I hope that I can be the friend that she needs.

today I cried. from laughing so hard. This man at work totally came in wearing bright orange basketball shorts with a red plaid button up shirt, white socks and black tennis shoes. When he left I couldn't contain myself. poor guy.

today I shouted "woot" way too many times. because I kept getting calculus problems right!
you'd shout too if you finally understood triple integrals and jacobian transformations. ha

today I was grateful. because it was the first time in a couple days that I haven't eaten cabbage soup for dinner. (I bought one cabbage at buy low a couple weeks ago and I have been eating cabbage ever since, the stupid thing has lasted me forever).

today my mind was filled with just little thoughts of {crush} ... haha. but that probably isn't good because I need to be focused! but {crush} probably makes me happy. especially when I find out he decided he is going to stay in utah for the summer instead of moving home (back east), which was his previous plan. whoo whoo.

I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday too!

p.s I just found this picture. funny story. we were in the Indianapolis airport at freaking 5:00 am. And guess what the fire alarm went off for like 5 minutes. My mom and dad just decided to put their earphones in... not connected to an ipod or anything. they looked kinda nerdy but I love them anyways. (note they guy in the background (left) haha).

best day ever.

wow. I have not blogged forever! Anyway I won't attempt to catch up because that would just mean epic long posts. But I will say this... I love love love life right now.
Today- best day ever.
A. Buylow market on Wednesday mornings are my favorite time of the week. I bought an eggplant today. what the heck am I going to do with it? It was so beautiful I just had to have it though.
B. Passed cleaning checks. woot. all week I prayed that I would and I did. yeesssss.
C. Preston saved me from this "creeper" at school today. what would I do without him?
D. Someone (my parents) sent me a diet sprite through the credit union drive up today. for cute. love them.
E. Had delicious cabbage soup for dinner.
F. Crocheted while watching American Idol.
F. Red alert. so best part of my day... I was just sitting at the table and there was a knock at the door. I didn't even turn around because my roommate answered it, then I looked back because it was silent and... yes my major crush was standing in the doorway. Ah man. life's good... pretty much this kid is amazing and I think about him a lot, we are going snowboarding this weekend woot.

How was your Wednesday?

monumental moments of the week.

I bought my very first pineapple today! I love buy-low market. 2 lbs of delicious pineapple for only $1. woot. I had to document this monumental moment in my life. I don't even know how to cut it... yikes.

Monumental moment #2. I changed a diaper... what is this world coming to? I needed calculus III help and that was the stipulation I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I love little Benson, isn't he just presh?

Note the flower on my shirt... want one? well I made it and... I think I am going to start selling them! why? because I am a poor poor college student. yikes. So this is the story... Coby (the brother-in-law) and I were sitting on the couch and he said, "you should sell those (pointing to my flower) ..." and I thought for a minute, then I was like... "yeah, I should." Any who he knows someone who sells stuff like this in a little boutique (which I might end up doing) and online. So yeah...

They are so fun to pin on your shirt, in your hair, or on a purse.
Here is a better view of that other flower...
I also have a couple fern bags. made out of gunny sacks with a hand sewn label. totally organic, earthy and trendy.


If you're interested (or someone you know) in making a future purchase, let me know (even if you're a blog stocker...)- woot. thanks.

i am so blessed.
that is pretty much all i wanted to say.

Since the beginning of the year I have written in a journal each day the ways I have seen the Lord's hand in my life that day. wow. it has truly opened my eyes.
everyone should do it.
and although i'm not sure the direction my life is going to take
in the next few months...
the Lord is watching out for me.
things will work out, they always do
and that is exactly why i love the gospel.
it is true.
and i am grateful for it.
and I want to shout it for all to hear!
woot.

i miss home a teensy bit now and again.
not too much though ;)
tonight i just need a tight squeeze from the pops.
and i miss the mom. my bff whom i tell absolutely everything.

p.s every time I go on a date i take a picture of a couple outfits and text them to her- she still helps me decide what to wear... what would i do without her?

on a completely different note- I heart this apt. of boys we play a game called "Bang!" nightly and we leg wrestle.
good times.
(p.s I won this kid)
--probably because i have birthing hips that dominate.
at least they are good for something. right?

p-town

i live in provo now. aka the land of zoobies.
i ate sushi tonight. first time.
also realized i am a total clean freak.
my ears are ringing and i've partied pretty hard core 4 nights in a row.
what is this place doing to me?

yay for little baby benson. i love the chimp so much already.
if i didn't work i would probably live up there.

So I've been thinking about this little old lady that comes into the bank- bless her heart. I seriously want to hug her every time she comes in. Each time I help her she thanks and thanks me for smiling at her. She always says it is exactly what she needed- then bids me good day. Other than being absolutely adorable she is so classy and old fashioned (in a good way). She always signs her name Mrs. Lawrence Williams i changed the name to protect her innocence but you get the picture. I just love it. When I get married I am totally going to sign my name Mrs. some boys name here it's so classy. Whenever Grandma sends a card to mom she addresses it Mrs. Perry Stewart- I used to think it was weird, now I think it's awesome. Anyways, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century- I want to be old fashioned. People were way more respectful, kind, genuine, trustworthy, hardworking... I am going to be like that. why not? right.

I survived living on my own again. day 1. dinner did not consist of oatmeal- shocker huh. I had to take a pic because I knew mother would be proud. turkey burger and veggies. dee-lish. p.s I just watched Julie and Julia, cutest movie ever. I kinda feel a close connection to them- probably just the name thing, but still.

This picture is "i'm surviving without mother hen." But I do miss her deeply-
I had kinda forgot I had freckles until looking at this pic and now they are screaming-hello- just in time for church tomorrow... thanks guys. not. ha
