I'm Just A Baby!

Today I realized I am not an adult. What exactly am I? A baby, and for various reasons:

1. I am terrified of lots of things (especially heights and most recently fidgety drivers) -- so I'm a wussy baby.
2. I'm the youngest of the family-- so I'm a literal baby.
3. I cry and whine about school and being tired, alot-- so I'm a fussy baby.
4. I get grossed out really easily, especially when it comes to bodily functions-- so I'm a poopy baby. (I thought that was clever, haha.)
5. Today in English class we read very sexual poems and I was so embarrassed my voice kept cracking when it was my turn to read an extra risque stanza-- I don't know what kind of baby that is, but it's a baby.

Speaking of babies... My sister Amy has some pretty adorable ones. It's also her birthday! Happy birthday Amy! I love you!

And I have a special treat for you. I promised myself this video would never be seen by anyone... But i found it today and it's kind of funny.

Here you go.

And if you're wondering... this is what i said:

"I'm so hungry."

"Wow that was so fast! I feel like I just fell asleep."

"I haven't been sedated since I had a baby" (?)

and then something about asking to be put to sleep please.

Do I Even Live In Edmonton?

 I remember thinking about this upcoming semester and believing I wouldn't come home very much.. maybe twice. Well, that is false. I feel like I am just visiting Edmonton and I really still live at home. Its actually saved me lots of money on groceries and I haven't had to do my laundry up here yet, but my bishop may or may not think I'm inactive haha.

 This weekend was really fun! I saw all my friends and was finally able to be myself around people I KNEW, relive high school by watching some basketball (why can't I go back?!) and I was able to play with Tay and Tal before I went out with friends for Max's last night before his farewell. It was great! I took some awesome pictures and I was able to relax and be in my REAL home and listen to one of my best buds in church! A lovely, lovely weekend. :)

not edited. I promise!

ha look at that cute face.       

isn't she gorgeous?!

BYE MAX!

Sunshine In My Soul

I've been sitting in a library for an hour after a terrible midterm with a macadamia calorie infused cookie in hand and do I feel down? No way! What is my remedy for such positivity? Sunlight. Honestly I think light is the best medicine to any broken heart, cold, depression, you name it. I can't remember a time when after feeling terrible I went outside and didn't feel some rejuvenation. I remember once getting into a really bad fight with my mom and dad (about something so ridiculous) and I stomped out of the house. It was sunday morning and I was already in my sunday dress. No way in heck was I going to church with those losers... I didn't ever want to see their faces again! So I drove away without any indication where I was going and ended up on a bench at the fish pond. It was pretty early and I had walked almost the whole trail in my high heels... I had about 20 minutes before church started so I could make but in my attitude the chances of such were looking low. I sat and moped on a bench by my favorite tree on the north side near the creek. It is seriously beautiful if you walk down... So i climbed up and dangled my feet over the water. I said hello to a few people I knew who were walking by on the trail and they all gave me a confused look. Finally I just got hit by this HUGE stream of light. The clouds had parted and it suddenly turned into a gorgeous day. I smiled and closed my eyes and felt instantly better. Why was I mad over something so stupid? I couldn't even remember what it was about by the time I was feeling completely better. I hopped off the tree and made it to sacrament just in time where I sat down beside my parents who didn't even blink an eye to see me come back. I love sunlight! It's not just a bunch of rays coming down on you... It's emotions. Sure it burns my skin, but thats not it's fault its my lack of pigmentation. I am so happy it's spring finally... It got pretty risky up here when the weather was really bad. I felt like giving up. I even went and bought vitamin D supplements... haha. No use. I needed the real thing and now I finally have it. I love spring, blue skies, shorts, and the never ending heat. I'm so happy winter is finally done!
