Self-Portrait :)

This is the assignment that I had to do for my photography class.

This is my sister, Collette.
Yes.
She is holding a giant Hershey's bar.
And yes again.
It is 5 lbs. of CHOCOLATE!!!
The only downfall of this candy bar and the reason it is till at the store is because of the $34.96 price tag :\

So tonight I get to start my new job. The only time the trainer works is in the middle of the night.
I have to work in 2 hours. I'm scared to go to sleep because... WHAT IF I DON'T WAKE UP?!?!?!
That would suck. a lot! So now I am sitting here. Listening to music. While I contemplate doing my math exam review... maybe that will wait for after work and now I'll go take a nap. Yep. That sounds good. Bye.

Movie Night + the rest of the day:)

It's Saturday... and guess how I spent my lovely afternoon? Yep, that is correct! Working and attending staff meeting... Fun, right? Not exactly! ha but I also did some fun things:
~ I went to Denny's and had my second breakfast of the day with some of the most entertaining people I know!
~ Me and my sister, Erin went to get popcorn at the theater, twenty minutes after I got off work. Then she wouldn't believe me that Enoch was actually accessible without the traveling on the freeway... we even took a field trip to the wonderful city of Enoch! Spectacular.
~ Mom, Collette, Erin and I watched our favorite movie: 'Despicable Me' :) That movie is hilarious! Best movie of all time and it doesn't matter how many times you've seen it... the funny parts are STILL super funny!! Even if it is the 297th time watching that movie... haha. Although mom and I were the only ones to actually watch the whole thing (the other two fell asleep, absolutely a pity) it was still a wonderful night.
~ The last thing I got to do today was make a little message that I could put with the treat my visiting teaching partner is making. The saying is from President Uchtdorf's talk from the Relief Society broadcast. It says, “Our journey toward perfection is long, but we can find wonder and delight in even the tiniest steps in that journey.”

~Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Isn't it so great!? I love this quote and I hope the sister in my ward does too!

Some funnies... and maybe not so funnies

So I have a few stories...

1. My mom said that for my Aunt Rhonda 60th birthday, someone is putting together a book of stuff for her. Right after mom said that, Erin looks at her and says, "Oh! How old is she?" 'Oh I don't know, 59?' hahaha it was so funny! I couldn't stop laughing for the longest time...

2. I went to history class today and we took a test. This weird guy came in to observe us as we took the test to make sure we weren't cheating. As people are starting to turn back in their tests, he makes these weird gestures and says some stupid things, like, "If you put it in the wrong pile, you will screw not only yourself but the whole class. Then you might get beat up." Stuff like that. The girl next to me mumbles under her breath, quiet enough that he can't hear her. BUT I did:) haha it was so funny. She called him a really mean name! Haha but that's okay because he was definitely acting like one. It didn't help me concentrate on my test any better.

3. I can't decide how to make my self-portrait. I want to have things I like but I also want to have me pulling a funny face. It's due next Wednesday and I can't think of anything! I also can't decide on one thing for my final photography pictures... Ah! So difficult!

Happier notes:)

I hate when I realize that I have homework due... at midnight... then it closes and says LATE, in giant red letters. Yep, not very fun. I have come to realize that it is totally better to not do bad on assignments then it is to just do the dumb work in the first place.

Anyway, on a happier note, I have just finished watching some episodes of Kidhistory and it is so freakin funny! I love those kids! I hope I can one day, have children as cute as they are! What a fun idea to film them telling stories then having the dads act out their stories... :) Whoever thought of that should be classified as 'Genius'!

I am totally loving my life! I know that sounds cliche and all but I do. It's so fun! My job is great, and so are the people I work with. It's nice to be excited to go to work and hang out with all your friends. Every Thursday I change the marquee at the theaters with the help of Chance and Deanna. Those two have become two of my very best friends. School is going... alright. I just wish I could sign up for classes next semester!! Dumb RAC number necessity... I am not going to get into any awesome classes or the classes I need! Oh well, I suppose. I can't do anything about that one:\ I might be getting another job:) Which is fabulous because I know that money may not buy happiness but it can sure get you close. Being poor doesn't get you anywhere near anything!! I'm also looking into another one on top of that so that equals two other jobs!! Woot!

The end.

Wish it was a snow day...

It has been snowing for the past two days... bummer? Totally!! As I sit here, in the hallway of the Centrum waiting for class, I am listening to Jack Johnson Radio from Pandora.com. Outside it is practically blizzard-ing and everyone seems to be enjoying it! Or so they make others perceive... ?

So in my math class, my teacher told us a super hilarious joke:
"A panda walks into a bar and sits down, orders food- a sandwich- and a drink. As soon as he is finished, he whips out a gun and shoots up the place. When he turned to leave, the bartender asks him, 'Dude! Why did you just do this?' The panda turns to him and says, 'I'm a panda! that's what I do. Look it up!' The bartender pulls out a dictionary, because all bartenders have them ever so handy behind their bar, and looks up panda bears; Panda Bear: a Chinese mammal. He eats shoots and leave."


Holy cow!! it was the funniest joke ever! All of us were laughing hysterically... it took up almost 10 minutes so class was soon over. It was great. :)

Crock pot recipes are the BOMB!!

Yeah! Time change rules!!

http://www.aupairint.com/images/stories/Au_Pair_in_Australia.pdf

I want to become an Au Pair SUPER bad!! Think about it! Exploring the wonderful country of Australia while I have a job... Oh that would be absolutely wonderful :) I can only imagine it now...
This is one of the things that totally interests me:) It will definitely be something to start saving immediately for!!!!

"I love everybody. Some I love to be around. Some I love to avoid and others I'd love to punch in the face"
"'You are what you eat.' That's strange, I don't think eaten any sexy beasts today..."
"I'm sarcastic. What's your superpower?"
"Follow your dreams. Except for the one where you fly, that never ends well."
"A fact of life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calender says W T F..."
"'Don't forget: you are what you eat.' 'I need to eat a skinny person.'"
"The only thing that keeps me going is how brilliant and amazing I am."
"Talking behind my back? that means my life is obviously more interesting than yours."
"All I want is peace, love, understanding and a chocolate bar bigger than my head!"

These are just snippets of the glorious things I do on a daily basis :)

This is for you...

Dear Liz,
Seeing that you are about the only one that ever reads my blog, I've decided to address this one to you. :) So before I head to work, I will quickly give the rundown of my day/life!
Today started out like any other day; I woke up to someone telling me to clean something (today just so happened to be my bedroom, maybe there really are bedroom bombs?). I scadattled out of bed and hurried to clean my room before getting ready for school. It's clean, even if it doesn't look it! Of course, I was late to history and I sat near the boy of my dreams:) He doesn't really talk much but whatever. I attempted doing math but that was an epic fail! I couldn't focus on the math part with history being talked about... That woman is a psycho! My friend texted and wants to "study" together, meaning he did bad on the last two exams and wants to study with someone who didn't. Oh well, it will be a nice change from my studying in the wee hours of the night and not very much. Hmmmm.... I escaped from history and went to the tutoring center. I worked on my math for over an hour and finished just enough to get SOME credit on the assignments... :P I'm pooped from math homework, maybe I shouldn't wait until the last hour before class to work on it... One o'clock rolled around and I decided to go to class. Dr. what's-her-name asked if anyone has had a birthday recently. I shyly raised my hand and she asked if I wanted to be sung to. I walked to the front of the classroom and she introduced me to the class. "This is Rebecca Barclay. Her birthday was on sunday and she is a math major. She is from Cedar City and works on her homework as well as at the movie theater, she will smile and wave but no one will get a discount. " Then they all started singing... Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear... *mumbling/laughter* yeah it's the truth. they had forgotten my name. Oh well, it was extremely awkward and I sat down. That is pretty much all... Now I'm heading to work. Bye!

Awesome Pickup Lines

Pick Up Lines

These are some freaking hilarious pickup lines I found on the internet! They are a hoot!! The ones that are bolded are the ones I enjoyed the most :)

Guy: Hi! Can I ask you a question? Girl: Ummm, yeah! Guy: Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I pass by you again?

Him: Can I have directions? Her: To where? Him: To your heart.

Excuse me; I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it's just a sparkle.

Life without you would be like a broken pencil...pointless.

What does it feel like to be the most beautiful girl in this room?

Him: You look like my first wife! Her: How many wives have you had? Him: None

Hi, I'm Mr. Right. Someone said you were looking for me.

Excuse me, do you have your phone number, I seem to have lost mine.

Him: POOF! Her: What are you doing? Him: I'm here, what are your other two wishes?

Him: Giant polar bear. Her: What? Him: It's an icebreaker. Hi, my name is...

You are so hot, when I look at you I get a tan

Do you have a sunburn, or are you always this hot?

Him: I'm sorry, were you talking to me? Her: No. Him: Well then, please start.

You should be someone's wife. How about mine?

We’re going to know each other eventually, why not now?

I may not be a genie but I can make your dreams come true

Are you a magnet because I’m attracted to you?

If you were a booger I'd pick you first.

"Why does it feel like the most beautiful girl in the world is in this room?"

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

I hope there's a fireman around, because you're smokin'!

I'm like chocolate pudding; I look like crap but I’m as sweet as can be.

Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?

I was blinded by your beauty so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.

Hey I just realized this, but you look a lot like my next girlfriend.

I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away.

Hello, I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart.

I'm invisible. (Really?) Can you see me? (Yes) How about tomorrow night?

You can fall off a building, you can fall out a tree, but baby, the best way to fall is in love with me.

I have never had a dream come true until the day that I met you.

Are you as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside?

Do you have a Band-Aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.

I know I'm not a grocery item but I can tell when you're checking me out.

Did you fart, 'cause you blow me away!

I must be a snowflake, because I've fallen for you.

You - "Did it hurt". The other person will naturally say "Did what hurt?” You - "When you fell from heaven."

Excuse me; can you empty your pockets? I believe you have stolen my heart.

You say "I bet you $20 I can kiss you without using my lips." She says, "Bet's on." You kiss her then say, "I lost."

Kiss me if I am wrong, but isn't your name (take a guess)...Janice????

"I get a little bit stronger..."

As you may have noticed, I'm listening to music. The title of this post is the the title of one of my most favorite songs. "A Little Bit Stronger" by Sara Evans :) Oh I love how music calms me and makes me feel absolutely wonderful!
Well, yesterday, I had the opportunity to read my cousin Jeff's blog. He's on his mission in Madagascar and I didn't get to attend his farewell... But now I can see all these pictures and hear all about his mission. If I chose to go on a mission I would definitely continue my blog so everyone could follow it and know I was still alive.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, Malorie, Molly, sometimes Krystal, and I go to the library to study. It is so much fun! I never thought that spending an entire afternoon in the library could be so awesome! Those girls are my favorite and such a hoot!
So for the past three Wednesdays I've been going to a Square Dancing club. Oh I love it! There is mostly elderly people that go, actually all of them are older that 60, but it is still so much fun! The people are wonderful and I always love being there even if the person I bring bugs me...

Um... yep, that is the answer

I haven't blogged in a very long time and maybe 2 in the morning isn't a good time but oh well! There are many stories that I have just been holding in and I think it may be about time I share them...
#1:  On the 26th of September, I went to help set up a Spook Alley type deal at the old hospital. That place is freaking weird! I hated every second I was there. It isn't clean or safe and there is nasty stuff everywhere! It's gross. Anyway, it was me, Clarissa, a girl named Olivia, Dane, and two people I think I met once; a boy and a girl, they both looked like real winners. We were covering all the windows with black plastic to make it dark and what not. I was in charge of handing the boy and Olivia duck tape to hang up the plastic, it was very simple and that is my expertise. Well, the boy would stretch his arm up and every time he did I had to look away. I learned this because the first time he reached up, I noticed he had a huge hole in his underwear, right where his bum crack was... Yep, it was disgusting! I didn't know him well enough to say, "DUDE. That is sick!" So I just looked away. Gag!
#2:  The next day, I was working and these two boys came in. Every time they come, they get themselves a extra-large diet pepsi, no ice. I got one then handed it to him and after he paid, he said I was very nice and that we should go out some time. He then went on to say that if the date went well we could eventually share his last name. Funny right? I get hit on and proposed to in the same shift!
#3: Final story of today... So yesterday, it was Ladies Night at Deseret Book and so me and my mother decided to go. I thought it was just gonna be like every other night at the book store but boy, was I wrong! They had prizes and cookies and fabulous truffles and 20% off of everything in the store. It was kinda a big deal. There were ladies out the wazoo! I was shocked when we walked in to look at the sea of women. I had to squeeze my body around every bookshelf just to get anywhere! It was utter chaos but it was also a very wonderful night! I ended up spending $40 on a book, "A Modest Proposal", a journal and my very own Hymn book :)
Well that's all... Oh, I might end up going to the football in California: SUU vs. Cal Poly :) Super excited!!

Smoothie Friday!

Just barely I made one of the best smoothies ever!! It's so good... I'm enjoying it right now:) I attempted to follow a recipe I found online, but that plan failed. The blender was all loaded up with a frozen and liquid mixture, as I went to find the lid, the milk spilled out the bottom! I still don't know where the heck it was coming from, all I know is that it wasn't in the blender thing anymore, it was on the table... But I couldn't find the lid anyway so I guess that was okay. My next great plan was to put it in the device my mother uses to make salsa. haha that was an adventure! The blade part needs to be intact before the ingredients go in the container, just so you know, it might save you a step. I finally got in blended and it is so delicious!

This is the recipe, sorta:

Strawberry Peachy Smoothie:

What you need:

1-1/2 cups fat-free milk

1 container  (6 oz.) vanilla low-fat yogurt

1-1/2 tsp. CRYSTAL LIGHT Raspberry Ice Flavor Drink Mix* (or any other flavor also works)

1 cup  frozen sliced peaches

1 cup frozen strawberries

Make it: 

Blend all ingredients until smooth

See? Easy right? :) I used assorted frozen fruit and peach Crystal Light though. 

Thursday... Again!

I do love working every Thursday:) I do the marquee- that's where I, along with Chance and Deanna, change all of the movies, times and posters at the movie theaters. It is so fun! We always have such a blast. Every Thursday... :)
Oh! My life just gets better and better:)

Thursday :)

Today as I was looking on my facebook page... I found the most glorious picture of a very VERY attractive man: Chris Hemsworth :) 

Oh baby! I can't get over how handsome he is!! He is Thor in the movie 'Thor' :) Too bad he's married... But he's from AUSTRALIA!! No wonder I love him! I have a thing for Australian men...

Tuesday

First of all, tonight must have been the night to walk down the street. I don't think anybody knew this but sidewalks still exist even when it's dark. In fact, they are very much recommended. I definitely suggest walking on the sidewalk, especially if it is night outside! For goodness sakes, people, use the sidewalk so I don't fret as I come around the corner to find some person walking inches away from death by a car! 

Okay, now, that is the end of my rampage.

I don't know why people all of a sudden feel to put inspiring quotes as their status but I sure do love it... like this one:

             "People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used." ~Unknown

That unknown character really seems to write the most inspiring things!! :) haha... but seriously, wasn't that a good one? 

 

Well, now I'm gonna start homework... Bye!

Title:

Okay, so why is that boys have to be so confusing? The second I start to like someone, even a little bit, I find out they have a girlfriend! What is that about? I think it should be a rule... If your dating someone, don't flirt with someone else!! You might think this is commonsense, but apparently not!
Anyway, I think I'm beginning to love college!! Ha. Well, things like 11 am class, taking photos for an assignment, and hanging with my new friends Malorie and Krystal, might have something to do with it! Oh, and I can't forget that boys seem to be more attractive ;) Like the boy that sits by me in History. Mmmm...
Today in history class, I get there early for the first time in like three weeks and happen to sit by this really cute boy named Zack. I was nice and let him copy my notes because he didn't seem to be able to copy them off the professor's power point fast enough. I just hope I can sit by him next time too. Maybe this time I'll introduce myself! :)
There was a wonderful quote of my face book page that just really makes a whole lot of sense...
 "Learn to let go of the things that make you sad, because if its really meant for you, you shouldn't be hurting in the first place." Thank you to whomever thought up that one! :)

Tyler Ward!! :)

On Tuesday, I was super bummed because Tyler Ward is coming to campus on Friday and I couldn't go, I had to work. You like how I put 'had'? Ha it's because I don't have to work anymore!! Yeah! Chance traded shifts with me. Thank you so much Chance!! Ever since I saw the poster about the Tyler Ward concert, I had to go! He sang with CODY SIMPSON!!! (AKA my future husband) I have to go! I've been freaking excited for like a whole week:) I can't wait!! Not to mention, the traditional "True T-bird" night is that night;) haha lots of men are gonna be there! Homecoming week is a blast! I got sweet shirts!! Woot woot!

People watching....Yep, I'm a people-watcher

So there is a really funny story...
Okay, the other day I was driving in the truck and I came to a stop at a red light. I was in the left turning lane. Anyway, so this woman is walking down the street and she uses the crosswalk that passes right in front of me... (Refer to picture below) She passes in front of me and  she's wearing what looks to be workout clothing, green yoga-type pants and a weird tight-fitting shirt, right when she is about to step on the sidewalk, she PICKS HER WEDGIE!!!! Right there on main street! It was SUPER strange! I couldn't help but laugh because she wasn't trying to be discreet about it AT ALL, it was almost an over-exaggeration to the extreme! 

=======================                   Symbols
        &                                                                         #: is the truck
=======================                 &: a woman
I        I         I   #    I         I         I                          I:  Street lines
I        I         I   #    I         I         I                          =: crosswalk
I        I         I         I         I         I
I        I         I         I         I         I

Haha... Well it killed me all day long and every time I thought about it, I laughed my head off!!! It was so funny!

Smile!

I had a very enjoyable Sunday. It started out at the mission farewell of my friend Erik. He's going to Germany, where in fact he will be speaking German. It's so fun to see my friend's leave for missions. Yes, it is sad to say goodbye but  I know that they are doing something wonderful and that it brings many blessings for all those involved. Afterwards, my friends and I went to Ally's house to make cookies. I love cookies! It was so much fun to be with them because I haven't really hung out with them since I graduated. We made the cookies and ate them and then it was time to go to Erik's house because he invited us to come to a farewell dinner thing. We decided to walk there and at the time, we didn't think it was going to be that far... it was like a whole mile! Not to mention it was windy and cold... It was still fun because we got to just be with each other. At Erik's, there was so much yummy food! There were soo many people that came. It was crazy! The entire school was there supporting him! My friend Tina was in town this weekend too. It was so good to see her! She's like my best friend and I haven't seen her for two months!
Needless to say that I have amazing friends and I'm happy of the wonderful example they set for me!
I'm sitting on my porch right now and I'm beginning to rethink that idea because it is soo cold! It has been raining all day long and this is the coldest weather we've had here in a long time!
If anyone has ever seen "Waiting for Forever" its like the saddest movie of all time. I was thinking it was going to be a cute little romance that would make me feel so happy about life but that was not the case... It was sad, but it was also good in some weird way. I like romance-y things but lately they haven't been very up-lifting! It's a pity too because I always used to think that my life was going to turn out to be some amazing 'Happily Ever After' moment and it's starting to become real to me that the way Disney Princess's live their lives doesn't actually happen... As much as I would like to think, I can't have little forest animals clean my house while we sing a catchy tune or have them frolic with me through large fields of flowers. And the saddest part of all is that my prince won't be coming for me on a beautiful white horse... :( I'm sorry if whoever reads this still thinks it will happen for them one day, but if you want, you can still go on thinking that! Even though it might never happen for me that way, I still love to sing the songs that help me think that it might. 'Someday my prince will come...' 'I'm wishing, for the one I love, to find me, today!' I can't help but sing the songs... They really are catchy! It the movie I just watched, one of the characters said, 'Life isn't a bowl of cherries, everything doesn't turn out just peachy.' I still hope that it does! :)

Happy Labor Day!!

I know that it is not quite Labor Day but I was just too excited to wait any longer! I love any holiday that allows us to have a break from school and look at that! This one does! Yay! No school tomorrow :) So, instead, my family is going to our cabin on the mountain. I love it up there. It's so relaxing and peaceful. It's nice to just step away from the whole world and while I'm there, nothing else matters. I love that feeling because here, in town, there is so much to think about; did I get my homework done? why is nothing happening this weekend? why are boys stupid? do I have to work today? None of that dumb stuff bothers me when I'm at my cabin. My life right now just feels kinda stressful. Some people are being extremely stupid and I totally thought they were out of my life, but somehow they always creep back into it and it's beginning to be ridiculous! I'm sorry, I really try to see the good in people :) Sometimes I just get on these horrible rampages and  most of the time I can't stop myself...
I do so much enjoy my life! School has gotten better, I now have some friends in my classes and I can recognize more of them. Work is wonderful and I don't feel like I'm living at the movie theater anymore. I played the piano fairly well in Sacrament today and I sat next to a VERY attractive man... :) Life is great!

Sunday Afternoon

Collette, my little sister is sitting next to me right now and it's really getting hard to be sneaky about her surprise! Little does she know I haven't decided how to surprise her. Also, I really don't think there will BE a surprise, except for the one I've already got planned... hehe she's freaking out! I love to freak her out. She thinks its going to be some huge thing at her school, like hang up posters of her around the hallway. Why would I do that? I always thought that was a little ridiculous to hang up posters for something as small as a 16th birthday! There is nothing cool about turning 16. Just because there might be boys that flock to our doorway in hopes of getting the opportunity to date such a babe.... doesn't mean that she can actually go with them! Boys are stupid and most of them probably won't even pass the test I have written up for them to take before they are allowed to leave the house with my little sister. Idiots! haha Thursday is gonna be an early one. I've got to get lots of stuff done before Collette can even set foot in her school. My friends might also be helping me with this little 'surprise' that may or may not actually happen if Collette doesn't stop being all difficult! If she asks one more time what the'surprise' is, I'm cancelling the party I've planned. So everyone that is coming needs to tell her to just CALM THE FREAK DOWN!!!! haha now she's using words like 'carp'. What the heck Collette!!!
Okay, she's not sitting by me anymore. There really isn't a party. Sorry to all those that were happy about that... Also, I am hanging up posters :) Wish me luck!!

stumbleupon.com

My friend Ashley recommended to me, last night, a website to look up and stuff. It's called stumbleupon.com. It's pretty awesome! I've found some sweet things on it so far... A guy spray-painting a SPECTACULAR image, some cool pictures of Europe, a website totally devoted to little kids saying what love means  (Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt and he wears it everyday, Noelle age 7), and a music playlist entitled: "Songs to lie on your bed and stare at the ceiling to" and they aren't bad songs!

Man! Is it late!!

Oh boy, I just got off work and it was THE best day of work ever! Those people I work with are so fun. Even though I started out my night with a flat tire that needed some fixing and being called into work because one of the girls was sick, it still turned out wonderful. Now I admit that some of the things I did tonight weren't very spectacular or on the list of things I want to do again... it was still enjoyable. I'll share some stories about what really went down at work today....
#1 I get to work and there is a sign for me saying that for a "weekly" I needed to help Ashley clean the grease-trap. Okay many people don't know what that is so I'll explain. It's a big box that acts as a strainer for everything that goes down the drains of the sinks. I had to teach Ashley how because she's never done it before. We were about done and Cassidy poured water into the sink causing the thing to fill up again so we had to do it twice! Ugh. The whole time doing this, we were both contemplating the importance of oxygen because of the fact that the grease-trap smells absolutely awful! It's not pleasant AT ALL!!!
#2 My second weekly of the night was to put up the clear, plastic things that hold those informational papers that are on the stall in front of you where you are using the restroom. It wouldn't have been as bad if I got to do it in the girls bathroom. That's right, I had to put them up in the BOYS bathroom. I cautiously walk in there and start scrapping the previous sticky stuff off the walls by the urinals... (Those things are sooooo gross!!!) I'm standing in front of one and a man walks into the bathroom. He looks at me and says, "oh sorry, I don't want to interrupt you while you do.... whatever it is your doing in the men's restroom." I just told him sorry and that I was leaving... It was AWKWARD! It kinda continued on  like this for three more times and it took forever! Finally Sara came in to help me and as we were finishing up the last one, some boy walks in and looks at both of us as were leaving the bathroom, he says, "wow, awkward much?" What the heck does that mean?! Well since we were done, I crossed that off of somethings that I only wanted to do one time, EVER!
#3 My third weekly was to drive some cleaning supplies and papers to Fiddlers 6. Driving weekly's are my favorite! You get paid to sit in your car and listen to music! How COOL is that?! Well I'm driving down Main Street and there is a huge semi truck just chillin' on the side of the road with almost the whole front end of the truck is sticking out onto the road, in the EXACT lane I was driving in. Well, obviously I needed to get out of that lane. I would've but a truck was on the other side of me. So I did something extremely scary... I gunned it in the hope that I could make the swerve around the semi without hitting the truck. I did it... BARELY! The truck didn't even slow down to let me get passed the semi so I almost died!! But John, one of the managers, told me that if I were to get injured Westates would have to cover the whole thing...
#4 The last hour and a half I was working, Sara and Ashley were helping me learn many new things... (haha, had to be there for that one). Those two girls are my favorite!
#5 Clarissa and I talked in the parking lot after work for like 30 minutes and it was so great! She's super sweet and it really means a whole lot to me that she trusts me with stuff she tells me. Also we made plans to go to lunch on Tuesday and I'm really excited because we're going to the Thunderbird Cafe which is like the school cafeteria at the college. I haven't ever been inside but I've passed it a million times walking to class and stuff.
Haha. Okay that's all! I'm going to bed... Bye!

Yay for my own computer!!

Okay, so yesterday I purchased my very own laptop computer! It's wonderful! I can take it to school and be on it whenever I want. I don't have to wait until my other family members get off the home computer :) Oh, college life just keeps bringing good things my way!! I love it... classes are hard but the teachers make it fun! I spend many hours in the tutor center but that's okay because attractive men need tutoring too ;) haha...

The 29th day of August

Oh, I have completed 6 whole days of school! Quite an exciting accomplishment if you ask me. It's so wonderful having my first class of the day be at 11 am. :)

The End.

P.S. President Thomas S. Monson was in Cedar City today!! :)

College!!!

Yesterday was the first day of school. A very exciting time in my life. This semester I'm taking 17 credits, which is a huge load! History 1700, Calculus I, Spanish I, Intro to Photography, University 1000 and 1010, and LM 1010. I only went to the first 4 classes yesterday and I already realized that there will be very little free-time, with work and school and trying to stay social... Oh boy! I really think it shall be a lot of fun, though!
Well, I better go get ready for Day-2 :) Peace out!

Work Stories :)

Haha! Oh boy, today at work was soo funny! I started work at 2 o'clock and Deanna asked me to take tickets while she cleaned the theaters that were getting out. A man came up to me and asked if I needed to see him and his wife's tickets. I said yeah and he said that they told him he didn't need a ticket because he was so handsome... 8l (sure...) Well he ended up handing me his ticket anyway.
Next, a lady purchased a medium Mountain Dew and then took it in the restroom with her and she tried balancing it on something in her stall... that didn't work and the whole drink spilled on the floor... around the toilet. Just so you're not confused, I'll remind that it was Mountain Dew (the same color as pee!) She came out of the restroom and told us. She then said, "Oh my, people are gonna think I went all over the floor! It's bright yellow and seriously looks as if I did..." She was quite worried. Dani went to clean it up and I filled up another one for her and she went into her movie. A few seconds later, a different woman comes out of the bathroom and with the most serious expression on her face, she told me about the 'accident' someone had in the first stall. I had to hold in my giggles and then told her we would take care of it... haha!
Later, Kaley was filling up an extra-large cup with cherry ICEE and turned to put it on the counter and dropped it. It didn't spill everywhere but still... The next customer ordered an extra-large Dr. Pepper and grabbed it by the lid and it dumped all over the counter and the floor. He then tried to blame it on, "the lid wasn't on..." Kaley cleaned it up because the guy just left the mess on the counter, then I mopped the floor...
It was quite the day at work... Lots of spills and it made us laugh all day! :)

Break Time!

For the past 45 minutes, I have been on break... as in from my work. I have to go back to the movie theater at 11:30 pm. It's so wonderful to have an hour and a half break :) But I figured I better hurry and go over today's events because I won't get off work until, like, 1:00 am...

 This is a picture of me at my Grandfather's house. My family and I were there for the afternoon. It was so fun! We all just talked, laughed, played the ukulele and ate some food with my cousins, aunt, uncle and grandpa :) While they were chatting, I was taking photos of myself on my cellular, hehe, there are some funny ones. But I liked this one best!

Oh this little poster-thing totally describes my life! I saw it at an antique store and had to buy it! My mother always tells me that I can speak fluent sarcasm... and now I have a sign to warn people. Haha! When my mom saw it she just laughed and said that is exactly me... Oh fun fun!





Well now I must go back to work... Bye!

Families are forever :)

I just got home from a lovely funeral service for my Grandmother Smith. She was such a wonderful lady and I am so happy that I was able to know her and spend time with her. Everyone at the service had really nice things to say about my dear grandmother. I knew there were going to be lots of people at the viewing but I didn't realize there were going to be THAT many people! The line to see her wrapped clear around the building... 

It was really good to see all the cousins, too, despite the day's events. It's been awhile since we have gotten together. The Henries are staying at my house as well as my Grandma Barclay :) 

Grandma Smith always told me that family is one of the greatest gifts our Father in Heaven has given to us. I'm so blessed to have my family and I'm happy that I will be able to be together forever! :)

Mindless Behavior

I have realized two things today:

1. It might have been a mistake to set up an account with iTunes because of the fact that I am going to spend all my money on music! Oh well, I suppose. But I do wish it wouldn't cost $1.29 to purchase ONE song... ridiculous!
2. I love music!! It really does have that calming effect in my life lately. Absolutely wonderful! My life could seriously be a musical because I always have some type of background music playing. Head phones are probably my favorite invention:)

Recently, my favorite songs consist anything written by He is We and Cody Simpson (Cody is a beautiful young man from Australia that also happens to be a swimmer AKA my soul-mate, for sure!) and 'My Girl' by Mindless Behavior, 'Dumb Love' by Sean Kingston, and 'Solo' by Iyaz. :)

Family Home Evening

Tonight, I attended (for the first time) my ward's FHE. I had a blast! We met at Park Discovery and had a little lesson about being who we want to be and setting goals that you can actually follow through on. Then we played Sardines! :) It's a game of Hide and Seek, only opposite. One person hides and everyone searches until they find the person that is hidden and once you do find, you hide with them! The last person to find the hidden person is now "it" and finds someplace to hide so we can find them. Extremely fun! And especially when you play it at Park Discovery... there are a load of places to hide where nobody would find you for days! Haha... good times.
Earlier today I ran into my friend Mason at the music store. I was in search for a new song I could play on the piano and we started talking. I haven't seen too many people from high school even though I still live in town and I graduated in May... Anyway, later, after FHE, Mason asked me if I wanted to go get ice cream. Of course, I did. I love ice cream! So we went to get Frosty's at Wendy's... Oh they were delightful! We sat outside on the tables that are out there. I have never sat on them before so it was a new experience.

Dumb Love

The other evening I was eating dinner and came across this wonderful BBQ chip. It's full of love! Haha. Literally, it has a heart in the center! How awesome is that?! My dad was telling me that people sale things online, I wonder if that includes my glorious find... ? That would be so great if someone would buy this chip from me. I still have it, just in case someone wanted to see it.
I have entitled this post 'Dumb Love' due to the song I'm listening to... Sean Kingston- Dumb Love and I felt it went well :)

Um... Hello!

So this is the very FIRST post by me! I'm glad I finally have someplace I can write about anything my heart desires... haha :)
Tonight, I'm going to the Westates Film Festival. I know what you may be thinking, "What? Tonight? It's already tonight... It's 8:15!" It is perfectly alright that you may think that because the party will begin at 11:30!! I work at the movie theater, here, in the City of Cedar and it's so much fun. All of the people I work with are wonderful! We love to have parties and such. For example, almost all the Westates women went to see the Tauchan production of 'The Little Mermaid'. It was a blast!

So tonight, at this Film Festival, it's totally legit... It's a formal occasion and we're going to be wearing beautiful dresses and be all dolled up :) hmm... not sure how the guys are going to get dolled up but whatever. We are going to be viewing the movies that our very own co-workers have made and/or were part of the cast. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see the movies! I must go now to get ready for this wonderful premier :) Bye-bye now!
