Here are bits and pieces of a beautiful wedding day with my best friends!

I'm into competitive eating for a living.

2010-07-04T17:30:00.000-07:00

I've had these epiphanies over the past couple of weeks about my future.

1. I'm going to be a ranch hand. I'll live in this little shack and sleep on a cot with one of those Indian blankets, when I'm not sleeping out in the wild of course, and ride a horse everywhere. I'll drive an old S-10 and spend my nights serenading the stars with my guitar. It will be in Montana of course. My ranch family will be so great and I'll go hang out with them, play Boggle or swing on their porch swing. It will look like this.

2. I'm going to marry a bearded man. Named Reggie.

3. I'm growing my hair out so I can have dreadlocks like this. That wasn't really an epiphany, I just am.

4. Now that we're off the epiphanies, I'll just keep throwing in random things. Yesterday I jumped out of a plane 13,000 feet above the ground. Its a rush I tell you, especially with this 50 year old guy named JVC hooked to my back. He kept fixing the harness which he called the push up bra from hell, as it was right under my boobs, and told me about people who barfed all over him or passed out while falling from the sky! I got his number.

5. This weekend Casey and I bought hammocks, went up the canyon, hooked them in between some trees, and I'll tell you what I had the best sleep of my life!! We're going to tie dye them. Now its in my backyard and I read books in it.

6. Speaking of books, you guys should read The Help. It is such a great book.

I love you!

The Adventure

2010-06-28T11:11:00.000-07:00

So I am married now. My name is now Aubrey Veva Smith, I was married on a beautiful saturday morning on June 5th 2010. I married a young man named BJ Smith or as some of you girls may know as JP. I will give you brief story of how MR. and Mrs. Smith came to be. (Sorry I got kind of carried away so it got kind of long oops ha ha)

So this dashing young boy moved in to my home ward my sophomore year in high school. I saw him for the first time at church and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. All threw high school I always had the biggest crush in the world on him but there was no way I would ever get my nerves up to tell him so. We had a few in counters back in those days which I will never forget like the time I got his cell phone number from Brittany Johnson and texted him good game after a friday night football game but I never said it was me who texted him cause I was way embarrased. Or the time I got to dance with him at the stake pioneer dance and he said I had a nice tan line. Or the time me and kenz went to a church activity with our favorite sunday school teacher and we all got to go paint ball shooting and I nailed BJ in the shoulder. Those were some good times back in the day and then he left for a mission to Alaska while I was attending Snow College. I wrote him for the whole two years, the letters started out as short little get to know you letters with many questions in each. One of his letters he asked something like what is something about Aubrey Bushman that I dont really know about and I told him I got a tatoo of my middle name on my left shoulder when I graduated high school. Ha ha I let that one go for about 4 letters and I was known in BJs mission as tatoo girl for awhile. But as the months went by the letters turned in to more than just letters and I couldnt wait to see him when he got home.

Last summer was quite a summer he took me out to all sorts of places out to movies and dinners, hikes, his families cabin. I returned the same favor as I brought him to family parties, Lake Powell, Spanish Fork Rodeo and from there on out we were both infatuated with each other. We grew to love and care for each other threw the good and bad. He became my best friend who I turned to for everything. Last fall I attended most of his home games as he played football at snow college, and he came up and visited me at Utah state and I would serve him his favorite food steak at Texas Road house. But this wasnt enough for us seeing each other on weekends or even every other weekend so next semester he followed me up here at Utah State and our love for each other grew even stronger.

He proposed to me on March 27, 2010 which then 3 months later we were married in the Oquirrh Moutain Temple. And now the adventure begins after a fabulous Honeymoon in Pureto Varrata Mexico we came home unwrapped all our gifts, exchanged gifts, and packed up for a 14 hour drive to st. louis missouri.

This has been quite an adventure, a summer I will never forget. Bj is doing very well as he goes for 10 hours a day to door to door selling for pinnacle security. But he does a fabulous job and brings home quite a bit of bacon ha ha. And as for me dont worry my days out here so far go as this I wake up around 10 go to a work out class if I feel like it, come home watch a movie, then read cause Im finding a new love for it, I go to the pool and lay out with my new friend Jaquie, then come back watch my favorite show at the moment the hills online. Then me and Jaquie make headbands and have girl talk for several hours. Then I make BJ a very delicous dinner I usually find something new in my cook book cause I just have too much time on my hands. The days are long and quite with out my friends and family around so feel free to call or text me whenever. I love love love the married life, BJ is my better half, my best friend, and my eternal companion. I feel like this summer is always a summer I can never forget so it is going to be called the adventure.

A wise man once said...

2010-06-08T07:59:00.000-07:00

This morning I realized that I have learned a few new words and phrases from Robison over the years. Boys may make fun of us for the things we say, but they have their fair share of weird wordage.

F.U.P.A.: Fat Upper Pubic Area. You know, the grandma/grandma fat people have to pull their elastic waist pants up and over.
Whirling Dervish: Someone (or something) that is a big ball of energy. For example, chowder cat.
That's Tits: This is a phrase Rob picked up from a mission companion. You'd use this phrase to say that something is extremely cool. Like if you won free concert tickets off the radio, that would be tits.
B.O.D.: Bag Of Douche. Instead of coming right out and saying that someone is a douche bag, you could just say they're a b o d. It sounds better in public... and can be used around small children.
Spootinanny: I don't even know about this one. Rob says it a lot. I'm positive I'll never use this as an expletive, but Rob does.
Hissing Goose: This is what I get called when I'm snippy, sassy, onery, etc...

There are plenty more words, but I can't think of them right now.

I've learned a lot of other things about Rob since getting married. He only sweats when he plays video games. He can fall asleep doing anything, including reading out loud. Any spare time has to be spent watching ESPN, on ESPN.com, or playing with his phone. He resembles a 14 year old boy... especially when he talks Pokemon with his brother Beaker. He is fabulous at not spending money. His sparce little chest hairs are getting darker... I pluck them sometimes. He quotes The Simpsons more than I thought humanly possible. He looks damn good in a suit. He washes his hair putting his face down, facing towards the shower head, and letting the water run over. I would get soap in my eyes and drown if I attempted that. I guess when you're 6'3"-6'4" it's hard to fit in little showers. He puts up with my emotional breakdowns and feeds me otter pops. He loves me and tells me I'm pretty, even when I have zit face.
Basically he's adorably cute and I love him. I keep taking pictures of him playing x-box with chowder kitten sleeping on him. I can't help but swoon.

Who is Dante?

2010-04-16T11:15:00.000-07:00

Its finally spring--kind of--and i can go running out side again. So my fav place is going on the path behind raintree also known as the provo river trail. Its so great running by the river and the trees. Anyway when you go on the path there are parts when the trail goes underneath the road so you go in these underpasses. They are kind of scary, long, dark tunnels, that hobos live in. There is this one man that lives down there named Dante. I haven't been lucky enough to meet him but I read his messages every time I run. They are always different. He writes the most profound and clever messages! I love him. I just want to know who he is and what he means??? I know he is a great person. One time i saw this younger boy, Hispanic, riding his bike down there and I wanted to call out, "Dante, is that you?"

One night I was with seth and we were way bored and I wanted to go camp out in the tunnels and capture dante. Or just find him and meet him. It will be my life mission!! (Seth wouldn't let me)

Also I felt like the girl in the movie YES MAN when she has that class that takes pictures while they run! I just had to take my camera so i could show you girls these great pics! my life is crazy

Love you all!!

The Eye of the Tiger

2010-04-07T20:11:00.000-07:00

So the other day I almost got my head stuck in my gym locker at school. And then I hit myself in the head with my own racquet while playing racquetball. I tell you what, if I'm not a genius, I don't know who is.

Updates:

1. The Malt Shoppe has the most fantastic apple cobbler shakes in the world. And I don't even like apple cobbler. Get one.

2. I take prenatal vitamins.

3. Reams is the coolest grocery store in the world, mainly the one in Springville. Not only does it sell chocolate covered cinnamon bears, but every holiday eve they mark all the holiday candy down to 99 CENTS!! And I tell you what, its a madhouse at this time, people shoving to get all the peeps (okay not really, peeps are barf) but mainly the good things like reeses and peanut butter M&M's go like free money.

4. I think President Uchdorft is quite a handsome man. Can I say that??

5. My grandpa has baby goats. We feed them out of bottles.

6. Once when I was little I stole a chocolate turtle out of the bulk candy bins. I ate half of it and put the rest back on a shelf. I don't know what I was thinking, I should have just eaten the whole thing and got my shoplifters worth.

Later home dogs.

risotto

2010-03-31T09:35:00.000-07:00

Thank you for calling circlepix, your complete imaging solution. This is Mckenzi, how can I help you?

I say that at least like 500 times a day I think. Every time I utter that first sentence I want to slit my wrists, throat, anywhere that would cause me to bleed out. My job requires me to get yelled at by crazy asian women. It's actually quite funny when they call in because they're furious and trying to yell at me but i can't understand what they're yelling about because it's in Asian/English. Silly asian women.

So the other night I decided I needed to make RISOTTO. I recently learned that I love the stuff and have been wanting to try to make it myself.
I made the mistake of making the stuff after a long day at work, and with an achy body because I was sick. Standing over the stove stiring broth into rice for over an hour is not something an ill and achy Kenzi should be doing.
I thought the process would never end. The rice was staying hard and I did not want to stand there and stir any longer. Then finally the rice decided to not be hard any more and I was done. It was delicious. I love risotto. So creamy, such good texture, it makes you feel good to eat it. I just wish I wouldn't have been sick, because I didn't really have an appetite :(.

Sometime if any of you girls want me to make you some, I will.

so my dad's creative and my mom plays the accordion

2010-03-23T20:56:00.000-07:00

Lately i just have been loving my parents and their funny quirks. I learned that my dad is real creative and when he had his business -the clothes factory- he used to design clothes and make and alter patterns for different companies. This summer he is going to teach me how to make a pattern. I'm real excited. And my mom got an accordion for Christmas. It has been her goal to learn when she retired so my dad bought one for her. She takes lessons and practices an hour everyday. The other week my whole family was over for dinner and she did a concert for us. It was great! I just think they are the cutest people in their old age. I always wonder what they were like before I was born. My dad calls it BN and AN. He says that they have had two lives. before nicole and after nicole. (like before Christ and After Christ) He's out of control. But I hope they live till their 100 cause i would die without them.

So I am finished student teaching! I can hear you all shouting for joy for me right now. I am so happy to be done! I can't believe i'm going to be a real woman and grown up soon. You are all invited to my graduation. my mom bought invitations so be looking in the mail! I'm going to move to the big SLC this summer to live with brooke! it is going to be a new adventure. even though its not very far. i'm real excited to ride my bike through the city and play every second. You can all come visit our house in sugar house and sleep in our cute backyard!

Funny Story

2010-02-28T15:27:00.000-08:00

K so i did the most profound thing i could ever do in church today! ha ha not really but it was way funny and i just had to share it with you girls! Alright so me, dani, and her boyfriend dustin were headin to stake conference this morning, and it was held at the logan tabernacle. So we pick dust up alittle after 9:30 and were like 15 minutes late opps! So we go in and we can hear the speaker talking so we figured there wouldn't be any seats on the first floor so we go up the stairs to the second level that wraps around the first floor. Well i see like 4 benches that are completely empty but then a group of people in the benches next to the 4 i see. So i was like perfect and i waved dani to follow me. So i sit down in the middle of the bench and she just watched me and didnt follow so i was like whatever. i sat there for like two minutes and i saw rebecca tanner and waved to her from a couple benches away and she kinda laughed and waved, i thought that was kinda weird but whatev. Finally i get up to freakin go get dani and dust after sitting there by myself. I find dani down on the stairs laughing way hard, i was like what are you laughing at? she was like aubrey you just sat up where the choir sits looking out on the congragation, i look back were i was and i literaly was sitting in choir! oh my so embarrassing! no wonder rebecca was laughing at me! i dont even know how i didn't see the speakers i was sitting behind oh it was so funny girls i wish you could of seen it hilarious my life is a joke! anyways love ya much

It was fun while it lasted... On to the search

2010-02-23T09:29:00.001-08:00

So... My job in the mortgage industry was fun while it lasted. It made me feel like a grown up. I got my own office, my own phone line, I was a pretty big freaking deal ha ha. I even sat on an exercise ball instead of an office chair.
But...
The office I was working for is finished. Done. Gonzo. All the loan officers will have to work out of home now and take care of everything on their own, supply their own computers, fax machines, scanners, the works. Sucks for them. Now I'm searching for a job.
I've applied at 2 different places and I'd LOVE to work at either one. I applied to be a teller at the Springville Wells Fargo office. I had a lovely phone interview with some African American woman and she said I get to move forward in the interview process. Now I'm just waiting for a phone call. I also applied to work at Dr. Graf's orthodontist office (the place Calee and Mitzi work). I had an interview with him last night and it went pretty well. We basically just chatted it up for 45 minutes. I'm going back on Wednesday morning for a "working interview" where I'll just wander around the clinic and watch over girls shoulders as they do their thing.
Hopefully something will work out so I'm not among the ranks of the unemployed for too long. If anyone knows of any sweet jobs you should let me know!

2010-02-21T21:26:00.000-08:00

Hello Chicas! so once again I dont know what my problem is but the last two times i have tried to post a blog i delete it haha im a joke i know! and i dont like to use correct grammar as you can tell when i write blogs so you can just ignore that ha ha! well i miss all you girls i feel so far away from you all i hate it sometimes! and i get jealous when you all but peepers get to live like 15 minutes away from each other at least! dont take advantage of the k.

Oh and my little brother rhett got his mission call so weird i feel so old girls! he is going to brazil and leaving on june 30th you should all come to the farewell if you can anyways love you all

I teach in the BYU business school

2010-02-12T16:07:00.000-08:00

Dear girls. If you didn't know, somehow I became a professor in the marriott school of management this week. What qualifies me to do such a thing, well let me just tell you. Apparently I have some of the worst conversational skills this university has seen. Confused? Let me explain.

So during a recent episode of my life, I was dating a boy and needed to let him know that i didn't want it to go any further, that i was done. I had to get across the message that I didn't want to date him anymore, but because he was a good friend, I didn't want things to get awkward. You know, i couldn't just do my normal, sorry its not going to work, I'll probably never see you again deal. So i tried an assortment of techniques... aka things that did not work like avoidance, text messages, phone calls that never got to the point, etc. So while all of this was going on, my friend mitch called me one day and i told him what was going on. He said "ange, i've got the solution. Ha, all you've got to do is follow the steps in this book." and so, I did it. And, it worked. I had one of the best "break-up" conversations of my life.

Ok so the book is called crucial conversations. It teaches you how to get across your point while maintaining a safe and mutually beneficial atmosphere for both parties. There is a course in the business core called organization behavior and the book is their text. And Mitch is the TA. Well, just this past Monday, Mitch calls me and tells me that his professor wants me to come share my experience with the class. Oh my goodness. I wanted to die. How embarrassing to share my break up problems with a class of one hundred beautiful business school boys. But, because I LOVE MITCH I of course did it.

Well, after my lecture, the professor says, "that was great, you ready for round two?" i'm like what? and He's like, oh the class really liked the interactive portion of your lecture and I asked Mitch if you'd teach my other class too. Ha, so then I did it again.

Two hundred (mostly single) boys later, I had told basically my whole dating pool at BYU that I was horrible at relationships and had to use a book to handle conversations. It was probably my defining moment of college. Ha, but at least someone got to have a laugh at my ridiculousness.

So, I just thought I would share. Hope you girls have a wonderful Presidents Day WEEKEND!

ands.

S'Mocha

2010-02-11T10:09:00.000-08:00

So... Last night me and the Mitz were walking laps around the neighborhood. It was a really pretty night, and not too cold considering it's mid-February. On our last lap, a friendly little cat came slinking out of the oak brush and wanted to visit with us. We stopped and petted the cat, and on a whim I tried to pick it up. If you know me, you know that I try to force myself on cute small creatures (kittens, puppies, small children...) but most of the time they reject me. Well, this little cat let me pick him up and actually liked me. It followed us all the way around the block and stayed right on my heels. Then i got this F to the abulous idea. I'd lure the cat down to where Rob and I park our cars, because I know for a fact there are mice down there. I picked up the cat and knocked on our door... When Rob answered he just stared at me and the cat and told me to take it back to wherever I found it ha ha. Then I made him pour some milk in a dish for the cat.

Now to the naming of the cat... it was kind of matted and mangy but had a cute face and kind of light brownish greyish fur. I told my mom and Rob I'd call it Smokeycause it was a smokey color you see. Then Robi piped up and says "how about, in the honor of the late cat mocha, you name this one Smocha?" Me and the Mitz loved it. So now I pretend I have a stray cat named Smocha. I tried to get Robi to take a picture of me holding it but he wouldn't... I'll try to get a picture if I ever see little Smocha again.

There's a First for everything

2010-01-30T22:36:00.001-08:00

I've had many firsts in my life! like the first time I peeled my own orange on our senior trip to california! The first time I put on my own sheets on a bed at efy when I was like fifteen! The first time I kissed a boy who was an argentine. The first time I became an aunt at the age of two! And the first time I swore with my neighbor drew one summer we swore everyday! Well last week something happened to me that was a first and a second! So i had a cold and one morning on my drive to school I coughed and some of that gross stuff came up so I needed to spit it out (sorry for the sick details) So i proceeded to roll down my window and I turned to spit it out and everyone knows my bad talents of spitting in the first place so i should have been more cautious but i continued and instead of it going out the window it landed straight on the door right under the open window. YEAH i know! sick so luckily I had this rag in my car and wiped it up! So I laughed real hard by myself and the next day you'd think i would have learned but the exact same thing happened! How is that even possible!

So my life is going pretty great! I am loving student teaching. those kids are super funny. I wish you guys could meet them cause they are pretty funny. THere are a like four though that I wish i could punch or that they would be absent everyday. This one will never stop talking! She tells me that her dad is a circus clown? yeah what a crazy. anywho I'm excited to see you all hopefully this weekend for rachi's birthday dinner! I love you!

my beautiful life

2010-01-19T12:06:00.000-08:00

Life is great. Seriously, I don't know if it could get better. I'm not bragging because that would be rude, but I have it pretty good right now. I have a damn sexy husband who lets me pick his zits (reluctantly however), I love my little basement apartment, I'm basically a chef and make the best meals ever, I don't have school this semester, and i don't have to be at work till 10.

I don't get how I'm so lucky, but I am!

Rob and I have a church calling. We teach the 4 year olds. It's interesting. One of the boys still wears diapers. Remember, these children are 4. I don't see how that is possible to be pooping your pants at age 4. There is another little girl who is basically mute. She's deathly allergic to peanuts and hates men. There is a set of twins; one boy one girl. The girl has all brothers and it shows. When we had them draw a picture about choosing the right she drew an alien. Her brother had me draw a donkey for him that turned out looking like a giant pig.

I just pray we don't get assigned sharing time for a while...

2009-12-17T10:44:00.001-08:00

2009-12-11T10:48:00.000-08:00

Well hello there everyone...

Long time no blog eh? I am oh so very sorry that i have been MIA for so long but sometimes life does that. I am writing this while I sit on my exercise ball at work. You heard me, I sit on one of those lovely exercise balls while I sit at my desk. Sometimes when nobody is around I do sit ups ha ha.
I wish I had access to some fun pictures to put up, but unfortunately I don't have anything! Rob and I have been hella busy these past few whiles. It's a funny joke trying to be a full time student, work full time, and plan a wedding. Good thing I have you girls and other people to help me out!
My favorite thing that has happened lately is... drum roll please... Rob and I finished re-doing our kitchen! It was the worst experience of my life trying to refinish those cupboards, but they turned out great and I love them! Rob and I will have to host fun little parties and you guys can have funny date nights in our basement apartment ha ha.
Well, I'm really excited to see all of you at my shower and hopefully nobody gives me anything too raunchy. I only accept gifts that are mildly raunchy.

how do you call your lover boy?

2009-12-04T09:49:00.000-08:00

baaaby, oohh baaby, my sweet baaby, your the one! That's how I would call my lover boy!

This new snow begins the season for argyle socks, boots, scarfs, big coats, hot chocolate, and fire places and so much more fun that I just love! sometimes i think of how nice it would be to live in a place where it is warm all the time like Arizona or Hawaii and how i would not miss the scraping of the windows each morning, the fishtailing on the way to school, or the freezing temperatures but then I just think of all the fun and tradition that we have grown up with in Utah and the lovely snow and I could not live without it for too long.

So my day today was pretty much out of a movie. It all began when I got of the front door and there was a foot of snow on my car and I had to scrape it off while I froze my bum off. Then I get to the school's computer lab to print off my assignment and oh what do you know I forgot to email it to myself last night! That is just great so I hurry and type up some sort of replica that wasn't even good and turned it in. After my classes I go back out to my car and there is a sparkling orange boot on my tire. So I get the papers from my windshield and go back inside and apparently I have too many parking tickets. Yes that's right each day i try to trick the police and park where i'm not supposed to. So I call the number on the paper and they say we'll have someone come pick you up and take you to the office to pay the tickets. So instead of paying over the phone I have to wait 40 minutes for a random stranger to come pick me up. His truck smelled like hot farts and I rode in silence to the office. Then I paid the fifty dollars and finally got my car back. Next i had to drive to Spanish Fork in the crazy weather to get some stuff for school and while i am watching tv as i eat my lunch I cry over a cheesy christmas commercial. What does this day even mean? The rest of the day went pretty well but I didn't even understand all the craziness at the beginning.

Well gang its a treat to know you! good luck with finals and see you at kenzi's shower!

write on the blog!

on a scale of 1 to 10, how much do i love bob marley? that would be 100%. everyone needs to listen to the reggae master. and smoke weed while they do it.

so the other night lisa and i went to see the byu ambassadors performance, and i'll tell you what i learned two things.

thing one: i love old people. this fact was actually already established before this night but it was reinforced at the show. there were the greatest old men there... with checkered sweaters and tan hats or tweed suit coats with elbow patches. and they just loved their little wives with their white hair and pink lipstick. i tell you what, i would rather hang out with old people any day. and i'm not lying either.

thing two: i REALLY REALLY love dancing. this too was already established, but anyways. by this i mean i love dancing. preferably to disco or funk. i also wish i knew how to ballroom cause that would be so fun. sometimes when i go dancing somewhere i can't control myself and i just go crazy. it is such a great feeling. kind of like when you run like the wind, as fast as you can, thats how it is when you go dancing. don't worry i'm not one of those sick dancers that think they are all cute and sexy and stuff. i definitely know that i'm not normal, thats probably why i enjoy it so much. but i also hate it when you go to a dance with lame people that don't even dance and then you feel like a moron all the time, man that sucks.

and i just want to say that reading is the most fantastic thing that has ever been invented. besides a big plate of spaghetti and green beans, of course. sometimes i wish that i could just spend every minute of every day reading, and even then i couldn't get to every book i want to! but my current find, John Steinbeck's East of Eden is wonderful. please read it. actually nicole, remind me to give you the book you wanted. (i can't remember which one it was)

oh yeah, and i have a date with these two little guys this friday! i'm so excited. i think we'll go to stumpy burger. nicole, i know you're cringing but i'll let you know if its good! :P

peace out women, rabid dog.

Halloween is in the Air

So its a chilly thursday evening up here in the northern part of Utah, a small town called Logan. I just got done waitressing and only made a handful of dough tonight, but its ok its only a Thursday. You girls are going to laugh i have a funny little tale to tell, maybe its not that funny but it was way funny to me. Ok so i was walking to my history design class yesterday around perciously 1:30, there was a cold breeze nipping at my nose, not of spot of sunshine in the sky only thick gray clouds lay low across the Logan valley. I found myself crouching my neck further down into my scratchy knit scarf when I realized how close i was walking to these girls in front of me. And i think only i notice these kinds of things cause im weird like this but i specifically noticed that 80% of the girls i passed that day were wearing Uggs, and they tucked them into their jeans. Well one of the two girls tucked hers in, oh my they were the nappiest old black boots and all of a sudden I am dying im laughing so hard because her boots some how were all crunched in at the heel and rolled in toward the ankle like a little kid. I dont know what my problem was but i was out of control laughing, my laughed echoed between the business building and the library. I had to pretend to be on the phone cause i was embarrassed. Danget i wish you girls could of seen it oh well. That was my funny story for the week. Oh and nicole i put this pic up cause it was kind of like your last one you put up haha

love you girls

P to the r-o-crastination~! That is what my life is right now. I am definatly waiting till the last minute to write this paper for tomorrow. I keep trying to work on it but it just doesn't work out. So you know how you just go throughout life and you think you are just living and going through the motions but then you have these periods and you realize these last three years or so you have just been learning so much about yourself. And that is why we have these years because we need to know what we are like. Yeah I was just thinking about that today. I have learned super huge amounts about myself. and how i act in certain situations and with certain people. Even though at times it was sucky learning it there is no doubt it will help me in the future!

So i have had this sudden urge and goal to do something daring and different this summer and next year. I feel like I just need to move somewhere preferably a city and start my teaching career maybe China or New York and start a side job in craftyness making! And I am going to meet new people and embark on a new life. And people will call me Alice and I will be this chic (pronounced sheek) girl and I will be so independant. And I will ride my bike places and eat cupcakes at cafes outside. and i will read books at the park and have lights outside my apartment hanging around. I will listen to the cutest music and dance around in my underwear and a tank top! i will watch the snow fall down on my balcony wearing cute sweaters and leggings. and write in my journal by lamp light. ha I hope this is not making anyone gag. i just need it so humor me. I just have to do it! But don't worry I will still write on the blog so no one will forget about me.

Well I probably should do my paper now. I already know its going to be crap! but i hope everyone is doing splendid and has a happy halloween. i'll probably see you.

love you!

So… somehow I am a nerd and have really started loving anagrams. I think they are the best thing ever invented. To remind you all, (because as of two days ago I didn’t remember what they were,) anagrams are words that if you re-arrange the letters, they make new words that have actual meaning… the above title means pink ladies.

We could create a whole secret code with this stuff….

Rekindled Flame... aka we're blogging again.

2009-10-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

Dear girls:I love you. I love us. I love BYU and I love my ridiculously great life which is lacking all "man" kind. Can I just say thanks to everyone for posting? I always miss hearing about your lives and I am pretty sure we all need to remember to post something new like once a month at least... dealio? Ok, well here we go...

Ok, so my life goes like this. I'm going to BYU aka zoobie ville and I'm majoring in Public Relations with a minor in nonprofit managment and hopefully a second minor

in business. and what do i do with all my time? oh yeah...

ACCOUNTING...accounting....ACCOUNTING....accounting. Yeah, Kenz, how do you do this stuff? I'm basically taking acc 200 which is a weeding class for the accounting major. I of course do not want to be in the accounting school like half of byu, i just have to take the class for my major/minor, thus i'm competing with a great bunch of business nerds. Its actually kind of fun.

So basically I do that and then I dream about the boys I wish I was dating. There is this one real great character in my ward named Chris Sonne. He is a real fabulous one. Genious California boy who plays guitar and sings funny songs. He knows every song possible. It is intimidating with my lack of music knowledge. Oh also rach, he knows Bob... and he tells me he is sure you're fabulous if you are related to him. He is the man on the right. so cute.

Anyways, I'm going off on a tangent. So i date McKay a little bit still but we don't have a "relationship". We just see each other a couple times a month and talk like twice a week. He's a great guy but its hard for me to do long distance (as we all know) so, i refuse. These are pics when me and aub visited SNOW at the beginning of their school year.

Also, i have this new fear called "i'm the unlucky charm". it basically means that two and a half of the boys i have recently dated are marrying the girls they started dating after me. I'm real scared that i'm everyone else's good luck charm and have no charm of my own? ha, its fine. I'll just go find a pot of gold and change my luck...

Example One: Cam the man crocket... aka sexy pool boy gets married:

Example Two: Jeff the californian .... engaged to Nat.. they are real cute together.

Last but definitely not least... the love affair of harrisman and DC girl:

But life is good. And, i'm really not too worried. Anyways, My fam had a real fun time having family pics about three weeks ago so here is a little bit of that. I love my family. They are so great. I never realized that my siblings would all become my best friends. Pretty sure

we are planning a trip together to ride the train to Denver to watch wicked.. .. yes, i said we are going to take a train.

ok, so i'm done. sorry. See you this weekend? Have a great week... love you all.

A New Day Has Come

2009-10-08T17:27:00.000-07:00

hola my fello pink chicas! so i like nicoleys idea about just updating all of us about our lives and whats going on cause yeah we never see each other! so my first item of business that i just have to get out there is that im engaged and you are all my bridesmaids. Ha ha jk i just wanted to say that. Ok so Im up here at freezing cold north pole! At USU for my first year, I live at Oakridge Apartments down the hill from the pretty campus. My grandma martin gave my her old school white bike and i ride it to school its pretty sweet, besides the huge hill i have to walk it up. If i feel like being lazy that day then i usually take the shuttle, oh my and i have to tell you one of my many facinating stories on my shuttle rides. So me and dani got on the shuttle and it was cram packed like sardins in a can, of cold college students. And so dani sat down and i went to sit down next to her and saw that there was all this chocolate poo stuff on the sit, so i sat on the other side of her. And every stop we made everyone would go and sit there but then look at the crap that was on it and turn away and we would laugh everytime we saw someone come and try to sit there. And then our last stop before campus this man, who was yes dressed up suit and tie and breifcase sat down in the mess. Oh my i just died when he did! everyone on the shuttle was just staring at us. Then the man turns to us and was like what are you two laughing? He was like i feel like you girls are laughing at an inside joke about me, and i seriously was about to role on the floor. Then when we got off he was like you two are awkward girls and he had it on his butt. That right there just made my day!

2009-10-08T16:43:00.000-07:00

nicole, you are the bomb. i'm so happy you wrote on here cause i didn't want to have to write twice in a row. only morons do that... just kidding kenz :)

well, if we are all updating on our little goober lives, here is mine! my name is rabid dog. at the moment i am fretting because my hands are super super dry and so are my eyeballs. i can hardly see out of these things because of my stupid contacts. other than that i am doing quite well! i'm stick rockin over here at byu.

i constantly get laughs out of this school every day.

although i'm the first to admit it has a huge population of people who are normal, there are still those who are quite confused in life. take yesterday for example. i was trekking around school when i saw this boy. he was super tall and skinny with this backpack on that weighed about 300 pounds. He had that hair that is black and kind of poofy, you know what i'm saying. and he was doing that fast nerdy walk. and not only was this hilarious but he had his head cocked to the side while he was nervously speeding to class. i just about fell over and died it was so freakin funny. so here i was trying to contain my laughter from snorting out of my body when this girl comes puffing down the sidewalk. she was a little bit bigger and she was wearing this powder blue polo that was buttoned all the way to the top, and these khaki shorts. you know the kind without pockets. yes. and she was just running full speed to her class. it was the funniest thing i'd ever seen in my life. now this isn't meant to be mean or anything, i just wanted to let you know what my life is like these days. :)

secondly, i'm a microbiology major with an art minor. mainly i don't really know why thats my major cause i'd really rather do art all day long. preferably sketching nudes. i was just about to post a figure of a nude when i realized that wasn't quite appropriate for the byu library i'm sitting in... anyways, i want to study human genetics, mainly genetic diseases. i want to be a professor as well as do research. i think.

i live here with these hobos. and i really really love it here.

welp, see ya later.

LIFE IS GOOD!

2009-10-07T19:36:00.000-07:00

Don't worry I am the coolest pink lady and starting up the blog again. There must have been some confusion or rumor going around that this had ended but you are all wrong. IT WILL NEVER END! oh my! We are all so busy right now and i don't even get how we are in our third year of college. It sicks me out and sometimes i want to throw up when i think about how old we are. I am almost twenty one and it is so gagful. But anyway my point is that we haven't been in touch as much but recently but we are doing better these last few weeks. I like in the fall when everyone's birthday's start over so we can go to dinner at least once a month. Its great. So we should all write a blog and update everyone on our lives. I'll go first obviously...

So I am going to uvu here in orem utah. I am studying elementry education and this is my last year. I start student teaching in January which i'm way excited but a little bit nervous. Mostly just excited to wear cute teacher clothes and have all the students parents want to set me up with their nephews neighbors &sons

I am single. Its great? sometimes. I have many crushes as you all know that I love every boy that I see and is trendy even if i have never met him. I have a new calling in my ward which is ward prayer chorister. Its great. I stand up in front of my whole ward and wave my arm around letting everyone know that i don't work out.

I live at Raintree Apartments home of a the most social hot tub, most nerdy creepers, and most bon losee girls with manacin heads decorating their balcony.

I have also been having dreams about jon turnbow and its freakin me out. In my dreams he comes home from his mission and is way attractive and we date. Please help this not come true.

And last but most important my mom is expecting her fifth child. Yes I know it is quite a shock to us all but guess she is just following a pattern. (that last part was a joke)

I am so excited for next friday for our sleepover. My parents will be out of town so they said we could have it at my house. but it doesn't matter. It is just going to be so super. and rach and me were talking about how we are so excited for our christmas party. I am getting emotional right now thinking about it!

ps don't forget my birthday is coming up. my next blog will contain a list for the presents that i want.

Songs of the week: Winter Song, French Navy

Who do you want to kiss right now?

2009-06-12T15:25:00.000-07:00

Right about now I would LOVE to kiss Jim. Is he not so cute? So, who do you want to kiss?! :)

HAPPY PINK LADIES DAY! I love you all.

So Houston... I love it! Minus the humidity and abnormal amounts of heat, I really really love it here! Mainly I'm the only white person in the city, its great, I feel half-black already. My mentor's name is Ioannis (pronounced Yaa-nis) and he's from Greece! He lives on an island there, I'm so jealous everytime he tells me about it. Good news, though, he said I could come visit, which I'm for sure planning to do- and bringing you all with me. (And Nicole, I'm sure that will be the place where your fantasy of "girl goes on vacation, meets abnormally attractive boy, they fall in love" thing is definitely going to happen.) So as for my nerdy work, its super cool. We're studying Muscular Dystrophy, its a genetic disorder caused by these weird repeats in the RNA. And today I just finished a second set of experiments THAT WORKED! I'm so excited, cause you can actually see in the microscope the toxic RNA. Its so crazy, and I'm sure everyone is making fun of me in their minds right now... so it goes. But back to being normal, my roommates are freakin' awesome and we just laugh and drink lemonades in our spare time. Time is already going too fast.

Wow, there was my entire life story, so if anyone is still reading this, I just need you to look at this way cool thing I found. This chick actually made her wedding dress out of a sheet. I imagine one of us having that... it would be awesome! That could be our next party, making sheet dresses :)

http://www.rwoodstudio.com/ideas/summer08/inspirations/

And Aub and Nicole, I think your farmers market booth is way awesome! I'm already planning stuff to make, if that is allowed, and I am so excited to come to it! I'm into this new bracelet phase, Jaci (my awesome roomie) is teaching me how to make these sweet ones out of embroidery floss and I'm attempting to master the technique.

Peace out -----> rachie boy

lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance!!

2009-06-04T15:39:00.001-07:00

I really hope there isn't a rule about writing two posts in a row?

As you all may know sometimes my mind goes into different kinds of modes. There's fast motion mode, (where my mind makes me seem like i am doing everything so extra fast but really I'm just living a normal speed life) nickelodeon gak mode, (where I'm trying to fall asleep and these big balls or cylinder shapes made out of that foamy stuff they used to sale on nickelodeon move around and engulf each other) surprise person mode (where I'm somewhere by myself and i imagine that whoever I have a crush on at the time comes around the corner and surprises me and brings me something or has something very great to say) and facebook status mode (where my mind thinks of perfect statuses that fit my life even though I've never changed my status.) Well on Tuesday i came across a new mode that i had never experienced before it is called blog post mode. I was driving with aubrey after a sleep over to this so cute doughnut place called Daylight Donuts and the sun was shining so bright it made me start realizing that everyday i do or see little things that make me happy and get through each day!

so this led me to come up with a great post entitled "The simple things in life that make me happy!"

My mom cutting lilacs from the neighbors tree to put in a vase in my room.
Wearing my grey snowman pajama bottoms
seeing cute people around (Girl+Boy riding bikes at the Farmer's Market holding giant pink cotton candies)
Tanning, reading, or laying in my backyard on the grass.
driving through the streets in Provo and looking at all the cute old houses that I think I should buy (with a boy)
Laughing so hard I cry. (like the other night with kenzi and lynz because seth almost killed us driving to the most ridiculous movie in the world, or when telling the story of how I fell down catching Brittney's bouquet at her reception)
riding bikes, playing tennis, playing catch
eating whoppers or sour cherry balls
finding a new song to become obsessed with and applying it to my life ex: Taylor swift- Love Story, Bonnie Taylor- Turn Around Bright Eyes, Boyz ll Men- I'll Make Love to you
Drinking lemonade and eating peanuts at work
surprise notes or texts or calls or letters
checking for tan lines in the mirror
looking at adorable wedding and fashion blogs
listening to celine dion full blast
remembering fun old times with the girls
getting dressed up and going out to dinner
taking pictures of every event
waking up early and getting a lot of things accomplished

I might think of some more later that i will have to add on to the bottom

I love you all

love alice

oohh heeeey

2009-05-06T19:44:00.000-07:00

And I asked, when is the revolution?

2009-04-12T18:58:00.000-07:00

I walked out into my backyard after it rained yesterday, and I found these gorgeous flowers just popping out of the ground! I loved it. Spring is guaranteed the greatest time in the world! Isn't it the best when you get to walk around in the rain with your red umbrella? The grass is so green, and the weather is perfect for picnics. It is also time to dye Easter eggs!

So then I was thinking and decided that it is time for us to have a tea party! We need to dress up, wear lipstick, and eat cupcakes.

I just want to wish everyone good luck with their finals... and make sure you're getting kicked out of the Spoon Me dance club by that crazy bouncer guy, hitting up Jewish parties, doorbell ditching fagget money suckers, making faces at babies, singing in the shower, riding your bike (preferably with a basket attatched), dreaming about our bright futures, laughing in the face of danger (what movie?), reading good books, and eating chocolate! Summer is around the corner and we've got good times to come! Yeehaw!

Peace out! Rabid Dog

Guess who just got hired????

2009-03-11T12:39:00.000-07:00

Hello! I know I haven't written in quite sometime and I'm very sorry about that. I hope everyone is doing well. I have an anouncement for all of you who don't know yet. Jesse and Haley are having twins and she is due in July. One is a boy (expected name Ashton Ray Hales)and one is a girl (expected name Addison Kay Hales.) They're way funny about it and the whole family is going crazy. Also I don't know if everyone knew Josh and Amanda had their baby and her name is Arora (i'm not exactly sure on how to spell it) and we call her Rory and she is beautiful.
So I was flipping through my pictures and I remembered how frustrated Lou was with me when he was taking my bridals and I wasn't being cooperative. He kept trying to position my hand for this picture and it wasn't working out. He probably took like 15 pictures of this pose and when I got the cd back this was the only one on it. I guess I was just hideous in the others. Mostly I just posted this for Nicole (also the title is for you) because she was there and witnessed the awkwardness.

Anyways I doubt that made sense to anyone really but feel free to ignore it. So I like to be updated on what everyone is doing with their lives so keep in touch!

Lynzee- where'd you go? I miss you so, seems like it's been forever since you've been gone... A popular song but such meaningful lyrics. Nicole- If only have love for your own race than you only leave space to discriminate and discriminate only generates hate... "I love Asians." Kenzi- It's my life! It's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever!... These are not words to live by. Andrea- A moment like, this some people wait a lifetime. For that one special kiss... Harris? Aubrey- Last night I did a doughnut on her lawn- Sometimes she's hot, sometimes I'm cold, sometimes my head wants to explode... you and Dave. Rachel- I'm off on a rocketship prepare for something new, ecstatic with the view... This song defines you.

Be happy everyone! Love Brittney Durfey

Everybody Eat at spoon me! ha, I have to write an article for my Newswriting class and I wrote about my visit to Provo's own Spoon Me! Here are two recently engaged couples hanging out at Spoon Me. Sorry girlies, I'll remove this later.

Love You Long Time

So Brooke is taking this folklore class and its about like the study of people's culture, music, clothing, art and little traditions they do. Anyway she had to do an interview and she asked about something in my life that I had heard or said that was a tradition or custom. Kind of hard to explain. So I told her about our language that we have. You know how we say things and no one seems to understand or everyone takes literally. Well this is the report that she wrote from it. I was just laughing so hard I don't even get it. I though it would be fun for everyone to have so we can remember it when we are old!

- “that’s normal:” used when something is out of the ordinary, sarcastic, ironic term to describe something out of the ordinary or cultural unacceptable
- “fun:” used as an adjective for the words “weird” or “unenjoyable”
- “oh my….” Said in a high pitched tone to describe a feeling of disbelief. Gradually morphed into just “oooh…”
- “is that normal:” used when wanting to ask, “don’t you think that weird?”
- “what does that mean?:” question to raise awareness of a strange situation
- “Somehow:” used to soften the blow of something that is hard to say. Ex: “Somehow… I forgot to get that money I owe you.”
- “I get so confused:” Used to say that you think someone is veering from a social
norm
- “remember when:” used right in the moment of something happening
- “sucked off the horse:” Driving to California and Britney was driving. There were 2 vans close by that she was getting annoyed by. She said that van just sucked me off the horse. It means someone ruined your plans or something
- “that hurts me”- used when something is stressful
- “I don’t even get it”- something you do get

Don't worry, I'm back

2009-02-22T18:02:00.000-08:00

So I don't know what happened!! I went from writing a post a week to not writing for an excruciatingly long amount of time. I think it's because nobody else was writing and so i felt dumb writing one post after the other. Not much has been going on in my life lately... at least that you all don't know about ha ha. I'm going to fail economics this semester... or maybe britt's brother can help me just enough to keep my head above the water.
You all know I live my life in phases. I was trying to think about what phase i'm going through right now and i think it's come to me. I nap. A lot. More than usual. So much Chelsea is convinced I have mono ha ha. Every day between school and work I have to sleep for at least an hour, but preferably 3, or I can't function for the day. Another part of this phase of life is toast with butter and honey on it for breakfast and listening to chill half folk music ha ha.
It would be fun if we all got together and did something sometime. I've been wanting to tie dye shirts for some reason, if anyone would like to you should let me know and we can get our craft on. I love crafts.
I hope that life is well for everyone. I try to keep in touch with all of you but sometimes it gets crazy and so i don't stay on top of it too well. Peace out ladies!

Someone's getting married...but it's definitely not me.

So I totally agree with Alice, and I'm glad that the blog is getting activated once again. But seriously Alana thought i was going to pass out I was laughing so hard when I read your post nicole. "she is large and well endowed". I couldn't handle myself. So funny. Anyways, the updates of life in my neck of the woods...

1- What about Bob? Oh, Alyse gets engaged to him.... Ha, my sister is so happy, just loving this crazy man named Bob Barber. He's from washington and is super nice. He's going to Pharmacy school next year and Alyse is going to continue to teach 3rd grade for Alpine School district. The only down side, Bob says that now that she has to pay for his school, they can't keep her new car. haha, oh well. she can have my franklin when i get a new one:)

2- Next, I will tell you about the jealousy i feel toward my little brother. He's graduating in may and for his senior trip he is going to COSTA RICA. Cameron Bardsley's parents have a house on the beach there. Yeah, I know, a week and a half on the sand/sea is making me remember the days when i didn't go on our senior trip and then i broke my foot attempting to practice tricks on the trampoline because i always was the worst at them. ugh. Ha, but at least he's graduating huh?

3- And third, I'm doing my usual half-dating escapade. This boy's name is Harris. He is from Washington, D.C. and he is really smart. He is a convert to the church and the only member in his family. His mom is a writer who used to work at the white house during the Clinton administration. Now she does lots of freelancing and is currently writing a book about the Missionary Program of the LDS church, for nonmembers. This pic is of harris/his mom and elder ballard/elder cook last week when she was interviewing them for part of her book. oh and did i mention that he is ridiculously skinny? well at least he is tall;)

All in all, life is pretty good. I'm struggling with keeping up with school but I stay alive/awake with random texts from the Kenz that I truly appreciate. I miss you all and hope you have a wonderful valentines tomorrow! Can we all play on Monday? puhleeaasse!

Where did all the good people go?

2009-02-09T20:45:00.000-08:00

UUUHHH excuse me friends the blog is not over. It keeps going for our whole lives. I keep checking it temporarily and no one ever writes on it. I miss Kenzi's weekly posts and everyone elses fun additions. So I'm starting it back up again. I'll be real mad if no one follows. So Ever since I moved to my first house last semester I kind of spyed on some people across the street. Yes, I know its awkward. But these people are so sick. There is like two couples living here and a few children and i try to discover who belongs to who. There is one women who is always wearing these knit shorts and short shirts or tank tops. She even wore them into the fall. She is also very large and very much endowed. So the short shirt does not please the eye. The man that I see most is always scruffy and they both never wear shoes. There hands are always full of beer and cigarettes. I feel terrible for the children and their neighbors. I always am so interested in this family and I don't even get why. also i always wanted to take a picture of the people but only got the house when I drove by. These two aren't the people who live there. Anyway I hope you all are having such good lives right now. Its been hard to keep track of all your love and school lives but i bet they are super. Well love you all!!!!!!!!

Hey women! I just wanted to wish every one a freakin' awesome holiday season! I am so super glad that we are all homies and I'm pretty sure that there is not a cooler group of ladies in the whole world! I mean, first of all, we have Aubrey's laugh, and then Britt's burps, Kenzi's hairiness, Lynzee's "sexy fingers" :), Andrea's $3 shoes...and shirts...and pants (ha ha), and Nicole's constant awkwardness. I love it all! There is nowhere I'd rather be then with you guys, so thanks for always being there. I hope that this new year will bring awesome opportunites and experiences for all of us and I pray we will keep playing and laughing together. Yeehaw! So freak, lets make the best of this year-we'll only be 20 once! Lets PARTAY!

Peace and love,

2008-12-10T15:52:00.000-08:00

So today I was just being bored at work as usual when walked in this super cute grandma. She was probably about sixty or seventy. She came up to me and said that there were going to be six people for lunch. She waited for awhile and then the five other ladies came in. They were all so cute and stylish and all had presents for each other. I sat them at a booth and they just ate and talked for like two and a half hours. When they left they were all hugging and one lady was even crying cause she missed everyone so much. But anyways they reminded me so much of us. That is how we are going to be in thirty years, still having our christmas party and drawing names. It was just so adorable I had to share it with you all!!

hi!

The Alphabet game

2008-11-27T11:03:00.001-08:00

If you are ever during any time of your life bored out of your mind, play the alphabet game. It will surely amuse you enough to pass the time. It was discovered by two highly intelligent people in Washington D.C. so you know it is of the highest quality. All you need to do is locate a bottle that has a very large opening, but that can still fit into your mouth. For lynz that is a very large bottle, for me and Nicole the bottle is small ha ha. Then you just put the bottle in and try to say the alphabet. It is best played with at least one other person. Enjoy.

I love this day called thanksgiving and I hope everyone gorges themselves to the point of pain. My favorite items on the menu are the yams with marshmallows, green bean casserole, and rolls. I am as giddy as a schoolgirl thinking of the feast to come.

While everyone is still in town we need to do something. A bon fire was talked about, but if anyone has any other ideas throw them out there.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

My Best Friend's Wedding

2008-11-23T22:06:00.000-08:00

I just was real excited about my title because its a movie. Get it? So I think we all just loved being at britt's wedding on friday!! it was such a fantastic day full of crazy driving, saying things like "Who are they?" way too loud, falling down when trying to catch the boquet, unlatching britt's dress from the back at the temple and laughing at a woman in Old Navy for saying thanks for nothing. Wait those were all my embarassing moments of the day. So I tried to figure out photo bucket and here is the link. Try it and let me know if it worked. http://s469.photobucket.com/albums/rr57/nicole__55/

I have some of the shower that I'll try to put up later so you can just keep checking it i guess? I have now idea how it works really. But i'm so glad that we all got to play on my birthday it was a great night. oh and everyone I'm doing a special blog next week. so keep your eyes peeled!! it like a news article kind of. ha

Love you all

The Durfs! My best friend in the whole world got married on Friday! It made me so happy I almost died. It was so cool to see them come out of the temple- its amazing we have the opportunity to get married in such a beautiful place. I just wanted to say congrats to Britt and Kyle and I'll love you forever! It made me realize that temple marriage is something I want, I didn't always know it was something for me. I'm so grateful for Britt's example, and I know you're laughing right now B, but for real! I know, I'm black eyed and scroungy.

My love and my life passed away last wednesday, Yoda. I'm actually so distraught I don't know quite how to function in society. He's been through some great times with me: hitting dogs, wrecking into other cars, going 95 in 3rd gear, running with deer, jumping curbs, and playing real life mario cart. Everyone come pay their respects. I think I might have a viewing at my house this week.

So flickr was super stressful, so we're going with photobucket. Just create an accout, its super easy, and you can upload stuff. Then click on share, you can upload it onto this blog (like the pic I did below). Make sure you choose share album so that there won't be a billion pictures separately. I hope this one works!

Um, seeing as we all looked so freakin' sexy in our units, I think we need to make a habit of wearing them whenever we go out. I mean seriously, those things are male magnets... I was fighting hot men off of me all night. The sweat and pee smell was definitely attractive too. I love us!

Peace out women! Rachie Boy

I am glad that Aubrey has joined me and Andrea in the second decade of her life. It will be one full of exploration and wonderfullness.

I'm sure that it will also be full of impossible ideas to do things that are over the top, because that's how she has lived her life thus far ha ha. Aubrey, you will always be infamous for wanting to do things bigger, better, and probably more complicated that anyone I know, but that's why you're a gorgeous little innovator ha ha. I'm too lazy and wussy to be like you so it's a good thing I have you in my life. I hope that your birthday was wonderful and that you had fun even though you were down in snow.

Love, Kenzi

Girlies I just love us! We are just a unique group of ladies and I cherish every moment that we spend together. I hope that as we grow old that we can all grow old together and keep each other in each others lives. It's crazy to think that a couple years ago we were running around in high school, eating lunch under the stage, playin stop against the wall with the principle, throwing waterballoons at people at school dances that we didn't get asked to, playing the pill game at lynzee's intell the wee hours of the night, having fun parties and bbq's at andreas, running around with our legs wrapped in our pants and trying to get on rachies tramp (and loosing flower petals from my ears in your grass haha) peeing in the pee bucket at B's and having competitions on your water slide til we couldnt run around anymore, spying on tyler barney and all those boys from kenzi's tramp and posing on the road when cars would drive by, making movies and having nicole play the piano at her house while i dance to it, havin christmas parties at my house while sledding in our swimsuits then jumpin in the hot tub, my list can go on and on I just want to tell you girls that I all you girls to death and you all hold a special place in my heart. B your getting married on Friday I am so excited and Happy for you, you are brave and are the first out of all of us to get married. Kyle is a good man and you two are so cute together i love it ok
well anyway i love each and everyone of you and i can't wait to see you pink ladies on friday peace out
love veva

Nicole has model hair. It causes me much jealousy. I should probably work on not being a jealous person, but I don't know if I'm capable of doing that... especially when things like model hair are involved. So Britt's shower is saturday and it's going to be epic. Me and rachel had a thoroughly good time shopping at dirty jo's for fun goodies so you should be excited Britt! I hate to admit this, but I don't think I have anything else to say. My life is a bore. I have no new happenings to report on. I wish I did, but homework is my constant companion. It haunts me everywhere I go. If only I had a hot man to haunt me instead ha ha.
Anyway, the only reason i wanted to post something is so I could put that picture of Nicole up ha ha.

Ok so pretty sure we only have about four weeks of class and a week of finals left this semester. Thank GOODNESS. I love school, but all these tests and ridiculously fun papers are just killing me. I counted and I've already written 12 papers (all of which were at least 4+ pages) and I still have at least 4 more to go, Wahoo!

Other than school, updates include: Fall Pics with the roommates... Love these girls and their boots. I tried to show some spanish fork heritage with mine and pulled a little cowgirl/pilgrim into the mix:)

Also we (and by we i mean I ) are not dating Jeff anymore. That just wasn't working because I don't know how to be in a relationship, so now we are just friends and he has moved on to the beautiful Natalie. Yes, she's gorgeous I know. Makes me jealous and I don't even want to date Jeff. ha.

Also I'm buying 5 pairs of boots tomorrow for a grand total of $15.00 so everyone get excited! ha. And lastly, I'm going to watch a show at Ozz on saturday where my comm's lover Dan's band is playing. If you want to come with... do it!

And I just have to tell everyone I LOVE YOU. I don't know what I would do without friends who buy me pink underwear or give me hair growing pills for my birthday.

I'm marrying a 28 year old man...uh...

2008-11-10T12:23:00.000-08:00

So ladies, I invited some of you to flickr. I don't really know if it will work, but if you have a chance try and upload a photo or two to see if anyone else can access it. If you didn't get it, tell me your email cause I don't know it. Peace out, Rach

Hello girls, Its Nicole, I know it has been exceptionally long since I have written and I sincerely apologize. I just know that you all are saddened that you haven't heard my wonderful words recently. Saturday I went to my grandma's funeral. She is my last grandparent alive. It is really wierd not having any. But going to her's and my grandpa's that was two months ago made me realize how much I love my family. Not just mine, but how important all our families are. People that I hadn't even met before would come up and tell me how lucky I am to have such good parents. I think this is something you have to hear from a stranger because growing up i know there were times I didn't quite agree. Also hearing my dad speak and hearing his testimony was such a great experience. I know this is cheesy but I just wanted to tell you all. I also think that all of our friends parents are so nice and great. Rach ever since I started coming to your house your parents have always called me by name and I was so surprised they new it! Your mom is so sweet and always thinking of others. Aub your parents always seem interested in my life and are super spunky and fun. Britt your parents and family are like my second family. We always will have fond memories with them. "Last chance for happiness" Andrea your family has such great standards and make me want to be better all the time Lynz your parents are so kind and would never judge or say an unkind thing about anyone and Kenz your parents are priceless and smart. Your dad is always able to help us with curious questions that we come up with. We are so lucky to have great families. (I just had to get that out)

Aubrey stop being depressed you have no reason to!! You have everything in the world going for you and I love your cute little behind!

I hope that we can all get together this Thanksgiving and catch up. Especially lynzee I miss you terribly. Oh and we will be together for Brittney's wedding which is in one month by the way. Don't forget the shower is on the 15th.

Love you all and i will talk to you soon

So I promise that I'll suppress the urges to blog until more of you write things. I just think up these things that I know I'll forget if I don't document them ha ha. I have been planning my ideal future. A time to come that will be splendid. I want to live somewhere that has an exposed brick wall. This place should be located in a trendy urban area, yet it needs to have a low crime rate. Easy access to cute little coffee shops and boutiques are a must. I need to acquire a friend that is involved in exparamental photography so that when I find a perfect man we can have fun wedding pictures by big rusted doors, fun old industrial remnants, and other bold fun things that make a statement. This man that I'm going to marry some day needs to have quality facial hair, and at least decent head hair preferably. It would be nice if they played some sort of instrument. I'd pee my pants with joy if I found a good man that was in a band. Not a lame band, but a cool one ha ha. Being on the tall end of the spectrum helps me out lots too. They need to have a quirky sense of humor... and I'll stop there before I get out of control. In my future I want to have a good stable job, but also have time to do things like travel. I'll be perfectly satisfied with small stateside travelling. I've wanted to spend some time on both coasts. I want to be close enough to my family that I can visit often, but I think that it's important to learn independence and not be able to run back to mommy and daddy whenever you have a problem.
So that's what I want life to be like. It would be swell if all of those things could come true, but i'm not counting on it. I have realistic expectations. An exposed brick wall is all that i'm keeping on the must have list. But seriously.

observation-station... and Facial Hair

2008-10-12T15:37:00.000-07:00

I feel like a foolish fool writing two blogs in a row, but the one I wrote last week was definitely not up to par. It was weak sauce. Foul and boring. I am shamed to be the author ha ha.

I love facial hair. Preferably on men. A beard on a man is much more attractive than on a lady at the circus. I don't know why I have recently acquired such an attraction to this phenomenon, but I have. It turns a boy into a man. It's a conversation piece. It's damn sexy is what it is. There are a few people out there like the loved Wes Jurkatis that probably shouldn't attempt to grow a beard because of the gross sparseness of the hairs. A fuller beard is the best. then comes an almost full beard. The ones that you couldn't get a hedge trimmer through though are scary. Long beards, handlebar moustaches, and soul patches aren't my favorite. A goatee works most of the time if it's done in the appropriate fashion. A five o'clock shadow is also highly desired. It shows that a man has the option of growing a sexy beard any time they would like, but they choose to keep it clean for work... or so that it is nicer for the ladies to kiss them ha ha. If I were a man, i would sport the beard for sure. Facial hair. Yummy.

I laugh at all of the different crazy quirky things that I realize I like so much. I think it's a gift to be so easily amused. I'm only bored when I have to fend for myself by myself, and most of the time I can usually find some sort of craft to keep me busy. I also think it's amusing to realize all of the things that I don't like. Much like Aubrey I think I have turned into an eyebrow critic. Like Nicole, I'm scared of boys with really strange last names. It's only for the future children's sake ha ha. From Brittney I get the trait of getting scared of people getting things too dirty. Unlike most, I think I've come to realize that (at least for the time being) I don't like cowboys. Rachel Andrea and lynz don't seems to be as scared so sorry...

Midterms suck. Fall break is too short. It needs to warm up 10 degrees and I'll be happy.

The preceding words of wisdom were by kenzi.

Mckenzi Creer writes: Life is good. I think I love life... but more so the people in my life. My family and friends are the perfect people that I need to be surrounded by. This last week was like a celebration of me ha ha. Just kidding, but doing all of the different stuff for my birthday was so fun. Haley and Maele took me to the Rocket Summer a week before, I went to a million dinners, got way saweet presents from everyone, and best of all got to spend time with everyone. You guys know me all too well. I even got a random birthday present from that thing called fate... or something like that. My scholarship that they said wouldn't be renewed got renewed. Big sigh of relief. Now I can pay off my credit card ha ha ha. I have the worst money management skills ever! Oh well, i'm getting better.
Thanks again for all of the presents people.
There is another reason that I am such a happy camper: The fact that it is Autumn. This weather and the ambiance that comes along with it is just so wonderful! I'm now going to make one of my notorious lists. Instead of making it in the traditional list manner though I'm going to trick everyone and just write. Autumn Things That Make Me Happy: 1. the cooler weather 2. the fact that I don't have to use my air conditioner in this cooler weather. 3. leaves changing. 4. warm colors that make you feel cozy. 5. the smells. pumpkiny, spicey, caramely, earthy, warm aromas that just make you happy... and hungry in my case. 6. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. from maceys. 7. wearing jackets 8. wearing boots. 9. Halloween. 10. Thanksgiving. 11. my birthday, andrea's, Nicole's, and Aubrey's birthdays. 12. The fact that for some reason people seem more sophisticated in the fall.
10-4 good buddies. Over and out.

HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY KENZINATOR!

2008-09-28T12:16:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to wish my sexiest friend the best birthday in the whole world! You deserve it and I love you to death! You're only 20 once man--LIVE IT UP! Love Rachie Boy

Cause I use mouthwash, and sometimes I floss...

2008-09-22T12:38:00.000-07:00

Well, I don't think I saw any of you girls this week. Weird.

I hope that you don't get too freaked out yet Andrea, just have fun with boy. Rach, hopefully the hurrah was okay, my parents said it wasn't nearly as good as years past though. Alice, you were a good nurse I'm sure, go you. And I'm also really glad my memos to you worked and you played with Coby. Britt, you're too busy for your own good; if you need any help don't hesitate to ask. I thought I saw you driving the cowgirl jeep but i didn't Aub... it was a sad time for me. And lynz... i miss you.

I feel like I want to document a few of my favorite things. Not real and tangible items, but non material things that make me happy. Here it goes...

Walks with Mitzi
Listening to new music over and over until it's not new anymore
naps... long mid-morning, mid-day, and mid-evening naps.
laughing so hard it hurts... but not peeing my pants
Autumn. best season hands down.
Sarcasm makes me less awkward I've noticed.
getting letters, a letter is guaranteed to make anyone's day better
watching people doodle (especially rachel ha ha)
attempting to cut Kimbers hair ha ha
different cultural events. Diversity is to be much appreciated
the idea of me getting a tattoo... since that's all it can ever be: an idea.
Thinking about all the fun places I want to travel to.
the smell of gun powder
picking my nose. I shouldn't like it but i do.
Those "ah ha" moments when you realize something you didn't know you needed to realize.
Learning new words. I wish I had a larger vocabulary.
going through phases. Everyone goes through certain phases and it's funny
The first time you wear new clothes. That first day of wear is magical compared to the rest.
People watching
Sizing up the boys in your classes the first time you see them. You know you do it too.
Brushing my teeth

Like my last list I could keep going but i will make myself stop. You can thank me later. I am so happy that this beautiful weather is upon us! We should plan a trip to a pumpkin patch or something fun and festive.

Hey!! so homework is sick!! and i just have a lot to do right now but i got distracted and made that little girl for you all to enjoy instead. anyways lynzee i'm super glad you finally wrote on our freakin sweet blog! So what does it mean when a mom in my class took about half an hour to tell our class a story about her son who talked to much!! oh my it was the most annoying thing of my life. Halloween is coming up and people have been asking me what i'm going to be already. wierd i know but i think we should all be something super cool. We should all write ideas up here for each other. Aubrey I think you should be Posh Spice(Victoria Beckham)! You are so her. Well tomorrow i guess i have to be a mom for my first time. Babysitting fuko after his shoulder surgery. His nurse told him that someone had to stay with him the first twenty four hours after he got done and it couldn't be one of his roommates. Freaky huh. I'm real confused but oh well. maybe i'll sneak one of his pain pills no one will know!!
Goodbye for now

Ya'll goin' make me loose my mind, UP IN HERE, UP IN HERE!

To the left is a sexy picture of me and my buddy, Old Faithful. I've been chillin' at Yellowstone, my new favorite place because it has buffalo. It freakin' rocks there, no one told me it was so saweet, definitely thinking of moving there.

Andrea---hey lady!
So since we both go to the same school I have some questions for you, since I pretty much don't know whats going on :) 1-How normal is the gym? 2-And do they have lockers there that you can rent? 3-Do you know how to utilize the library? ( Yeah, I know its a stupid question, but I really don't know) 4-How much is a football ticket? And can I get a discount on buying one for someone else? You know, you're really great. I'm sorry you have to deal with my incompetence. :)

Right over there -----> its called a party. Come to me if you want to have one.

Peace and LOVE,

Rabid Dog

Hi Ho the Dairy-O, the Farmer and the Dell

Well, another week has come and gone. I think I'm making it a habit to write at least a small post once a week. I'm a horrible journal keeper, but this resembles an electronic journal so I feel proud.
I need to ask everyone a favor. This is serious business. All eyes that read this need to do the following: DON"T LET ME EAT CRAP FOOD! I have horrible self control. I'm trying really hard to be a little healthier, but I'm sure you all know I'm like a garbage disposal. I'll put anything and everything into my mouth. It would be much appreciated if people would encourage me to eat healthy, and I give you permission to slug me, shun me, be rude to me, etc... if I try to eat too much junk. End transmission. Just kidding.
A death has occurred this last week. The death of my "second job". I can't donate plasma for a while because my body is retarded at absorbing and retaining protein. I figure it was fun while it lasted, but now my gas tank might run dry. I think my next adventure will be selling non-vital organs on the black market. I have two kidneys... one of those can go. I'm sure there's some other stuff floating around inside me that I wouldn't miss too bad ha ha.
I hope that school is swell for one and all. I know I'm busy and stressed, but such is college life. Oh, and Nicole, I thought about it, and yes I think you should take advantage of your Arizona trip and go. Peace.

Dan the Man

2008-09-12T15:29:00.000-07:00

So apparently my favorite name is Dan. Ha this week has been so funny because everyone i meet is named Dan and they become the newest/oldest loves of my life. So here is to all the Dans I love, despite the fact that they probably don't remember my name:) And FYI all these pictures are stolen off facebook. Fine, i'm a stalker.

Dan number 1: The brother!

How would I ever live without the funniest boy i've ever met? Let me tell you. He is the greatest. Plus he comes with a great assortment of hilarious friends we make me feel like i have four more amazing brothers. And, I do consider Greg my brother so if you do marry him Kenz, we'll be the best sister in laws ever!

Dan number 2: The engaged.

Ok we all know that I loved Dan Mangelson my whole entire knowledge of his existence. I guess it was a pure love because I am not filled with any jealousy of wonderful Ann who gets to marry this boy. Of course I do wish it was me, but there really is no envy so that is of course more righteous than the alternative. And I didn't know that they weren't getting married until December, so I guess B and Kyle win.

Dan Number 3: The new best Friend.

Dan Gould is one of my new favorite people. He is from Chandler Arizona and he is an accounting Major here at BYU. I met him through infamous Katrina and he is so very fun. He even does my laundry for me. But he gets offended because I called him a man slut for kissing lots of girls. I just think you all need to meet him. he is the one in the middle. His friend with the bright blue tie, his name is Sky and we love him also.

Dan Number 4: The inspiration to my life.

Yes, I saved the best for last. His name is Dan Reynolds. He sat next to me in our communications class the first week of school. He is also a PR/Advertising major and he is from Las Vegas. Get this he is a musician boy and he sings different indie stuff.

(I think this link will take you to a couple of his songs... the pit/my fire) http ://www.reverbnation.com/danreynolds

And, the greatest part is his brother is the manager of the band The Killers. Freak! ya, i know, he is also freaking attractive and super smart. And everyday i just love listening to him in class:)

Whoever knew it was all about DAN?

Ha, love Ands.

attention chicas!

2008-09-10T10:27:00.000-07:00

Jordan would just like me to get this photo on the world wide web!

The Hales Clan...and the Durfey boy

2008-09-07T19:49:00.000-07:00

What a lovely day when the Hales family can unite for a photo shoot. I just thought you would all like to see this. Don't worry the family thought they should get a head start on the engagement pictures so those are also fun. I agree with kenz and think the rest of the world should take advantage of our blogging. Even I try real hard. Thanks for all your love and support!

love b

Tall Dark and Handsome

2008-09-07T11:11:00.000-07:00

So I know I tricked you guys... when you read that title you thought I was going to be talking about boys. Psyche! That would be me: tall. dark (haired). and handsome. The other day I was thinking about how i'm a man and I thought of that and I started laughing at myself in the middle of class.

I was trying really very hard to wait to write another blog till more people posted things, but I gave people a week I think, and my lovely britters is the only one that has posted something. I just wanted to take a moment to make a very important announcement though. People, you may want to sit down if you are standing, keep an open mind, and brace yourselves. Rach, i think this will sadden you almost as much as it hurt me. I, Mckenzi Creer, am no longer in love with math boy. Math boy is now douche bag status. I think this will be for the best though, it wasn't a healthy relationship... you know, me stalking him and he not even knowing I exist ha ha. I hope that Everybody has a stupendous Sunday. Keep it real, and keep the sabbath day holy ha ha. Peace.

P.S. I just ordered some KICK ASS loafer moccasins. I know when you think loafer moccasin you think kenzi, so you can all be jealous when they arrive on my doorstep in 7 to 10 business days.

Dashboard Confessionals?

2008-09-02T18:50:00.000-07:00

So I have now been introduced to the new world of blogging and thanks to Doc Waters I will be tech savvy in no time. Way cool idea Aub! Anyways school started and life got not so good anymore but that's okay. I get to spend lots of friendship-building-time in class with A. Nicole so that's always a plus. I now have better showering skills and a more balanced diet so that's also just great. I'm glad we have been using our hyperlinks correctly. That's always impressive and Nicole's wonderful film from her earlier teenage years also inspired me to be a better me. It's sad that we haven't heard that much from Kenz. I guess she hasn't had much time on her hands, school and work must be a killer!
The game this Friday is going to be the best! I'm so exciting to see all of my old friends and just get back in to that school spirit where I belong. I loved those football games back in the day. Rabid and I were the biggest supporters. Go Dons!
Anyways I have to get back to my reflective bogging homework. Technology is just the best...
Love b

Aub I love you and Celine Dion!

2008-09-01T12:18:00.000-07:00

Kenzi, if you call me a zoobie one more time I will pound your face in!

Sincerely, Rachie Boy

Caring Counts

2008-08-31T15:33:00.000-07:00

It's too much work to come up with titles to these dinky little blog posts... yet it is a necessity and it shows our personality. Tough business it is to be a pink lady. Nobody promised it would be easy, but i think we'll all pull through ha ha.

A quick note: I forgot to mention some of the things that peanut butter is good for. It is good in rice crispy treats, no bake cookies, mixed into sauces (Thai food Andrea baby), it's funny to feed it to animals, and now JIFF makes to-go mini cups of peanut butter. Praise the lord for JIFF.

I would now like to dedicate this next section to all of my favorite things. I think it would help all of you understand me on a far deeper level than you think necessary ha ha, just kidding.

MY FAVORITE superficial/material items:

underwear from american eagle

eyeshadow from MAC

crest vivid white toothpaste

jell-o sugar free packs

honey bunches of oats with almonds

maceys soft serve frozen yogurt

nina ricci perfume. sent from the gods above.

zip up hoodies... old small pink ones are best

bed head hair products, because they smell simply divine

loafers, penny loafers, moccasin loafers, tassel loafers

long over sized cardigans

puffs plus tissues with lotion

ARTWORK

silver rings. i'm a gypsy at heart

Quaker oatmeal, not the packet kind though

Hillshire farm honey ham lunch meat.

fabreeze air effects

dark nail polish

indie music... the mellow girly types these days

I could make the list longer but I know nobody is even reading this anymore. I could probably write swear words right now and Andrea wouldn't even notice to get mad at me ha ha. I could make fun of Nicole somehow and she wouldn't be able to say that she can hear me. I could jump on the furniture in Britt's house and she wouldn't even know. I could accuse Rachel of turning zoobie on me and she wouldn't be the wiser.

I would just like to end with an actual sincere thought. I really do appreciate everyone and how we"re are all so diverse yet we get along so well and form this super fantastic melting pot of friendship. If I hadn't grown up with such good friends as examples I'd probably be in a much different place in my life, and I know I wouldn't be this happy or surrounded by people that mean as much to me as all of you do. Thank you. Really I love everyone of you for being you and rubbing off on me.

2008-08-29T17:41:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! ha I was trying to think of a clever title and that's what came out. Its terrible. but anyway i just love this blog. Andrea I'm way sorry you are having stress right now! If you need anything i can definitely help you. and i want to come see your new apartment soon. So if anyone wants to you know get away from their current residence... Come to my new house! I have the whole basement to myself and Hanalei of course. but it will be super fun and its by brick oven so we can go and stuff our faces anytime! I love you all and hope everyone's having fun in school.

Oh and Rach your link thing was so super cute. I really do want to make those headbands. It reminded me of this store in Provo called the coal umbrella. We should all go there some day. http://coalumbrella.com/home.html I think you guys should look at it. Sorry that i copied the link idea!
Kenzi and Aubrey- I'm getting so excited for next Friday i don't even know why! get ready to dance the night away.
okay ciao

2008-08-28T23:01:00.000-07:00

So today I pretty much had an anxiety melt down. I think i cried for five hours! Why? Ha, no idea. My mom was so confused. Pretty sure I am just way stressed with trying to claim a major which i don't even want, create a schedule that has no purpose, and also trying to move into an apartment where a little asian is currently residing(not Alana or Jovy!) and she sneeks in when we aren't there! Freak, thus i've been living at home til tomorrow when she is gone for sure!

Sorry for not returning any texts, you know me when I break down.

Also I must apologize for the embarassing things i do... sorry about the besties kenz... the pic just makes me think of that word. (and you'll also make fun of me for using "ands" which is fine, but Andrea is just so long and so many syllables.

And, I'll check with my dad to see if we can stay in the "HorseShoe Mountain" Lodge that night of the football game! that could be fun, ya?

Peanut Butter

2008-08-28T22:48:00.001-07:00

So my new favorite thing in life is peanut butter. It makes life wonderful. It can get bubblegum out of your hair. It's delicious and I concoct many a culinary creation with it. It makes the following better: bananas, apples, various other fruits, toast, sandwiches. ice cream, pudding, oreos, and many many other things.

Rach, I love that 10 things thing that you had the link too. It was way cute. We all should try to make some fun feathery headband thing. That sounds up our alley. I'm in for a reggae concert... go pot heads!

Veva, If i can get work off you know I'm down for meeting some black men. I'll look into that.

This whole blog thing is just so so so fun. I plan on cataloging my life here so hopefully people don't mind my autobiography in the making ha ha. Just kidding.

I love you all. and Andrea, don't use the word besties ha ha.

In the name of Mckenzi Creer...

August 28th, 2008- Shout out from Rachie Boy!*^#?**%$
