TAGGED

6 Random Things About Myself -crap, this is going to be difficult...

1. I'm a Paris freak. I collect pictures of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. I WILL go to Paris for my honeymoon. I own a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower and a mini French flag. I've taken French for 7 years. I often spell words in French. If people even mention France/Paris I freak out. I love it. Love it love it love it.

2. I make lists for everything. Sometimes they help me, sometimes not. But whenever I'm bored in class, in church or at my house, I start to make a list. A shopping list, a to do list, a things I want to do list etc. Doesn't matter. It's just a list.

3. I facebook stalk and blog stalk. If you're uncomfortable with that, I'm sorry. It's just what I do.

4. I'm in love with a missionary. My missionary. Ok, so that's not random, but is in an important fact of my life :) He is amazing, and he is my hero. I would definitely not be where I am today without him in my life.

5. I am going to double-major in English Teaching and French Teaching. Psych. I'm way excited, but nervous as well! Check back with me in a year to see how that is going.....

6. I don't often get mad, and if I do, I don't usually vocalize it. It's so hard for me to talk when I'm emotional; sad, mad, embarrassed, whatever. I can't talk. It's sort of ridiculous.

I love my life, can I just tell you?? And I got the greatest package from Caleb today :) A letter, pictures, a tape, a drawing and some pages out of his planner... Oh how I love him. He's so amazing.

MG Love, and other events

Wow. Can I just say that I love my life? I had a crazy, busy, incredible weekend, and week! So yet again, this will be another post of me catching up on my life, but I know you'll all love it.

So first, last week was super psycho crazy. I had so much going on.

I got a new calling (Relief Society Secretary) which has been so fun, but it definitely time consuming. I love though. I went out with some MG's (Missionaries Girl's, in case you didn't know) on Tuesday night, and it was so fun to get together with girls going through the same thing as me. That nice, Kevin and Jeni came over. I just love them. Kevin was Caleb's roommate last year, and Jeni lived in their building and we've gotten to be good friends :) They totally support me and Caleb, and they are so good to talk to... I was so happy to see them! On Friday night, I went with Peter to The Rocket Summer Concert! Oh my heck, it was amazing. They are so great live! Pete is such a great friend too, and we just partied and it was awesome.

Saturday I went with the MG's to the Wedding Expo at Thanksgiving Point. We all registered as brides, and got tons of free stuff and had such a good time being with each other and obsessing about our weddings. This probably sounds like crazy talk to all of you, but the MG's know what I'm talking about :) Then we went out to lunch at Chili's which just made for longer bonding and talking. Really, these girls are so amazing. We all understand what each other is going through, and it is so great to have a support system :) We think about the same things and can just talk freely with out others jumping on top of us for waiting. I love them so much and am so glad I have made these friends :) And on top of that, I found a beautiful ring, that I want, and I fell in love with two dresses from Alyse's Bridal, they're pretty much the most beautiful dresses.

Then I went to the MoTab/Utah Symphony concert on a date... He's my friend Mark's roommate, and it went pretty well. My favorite part was just being able to go to Temple Square. I LOVE Temple Square. It is so gorgeous up there, and I feel the Spirit so strong. The Salt Lake Temple is my most favorite ever, it's so beautiful. I am in love with that temple. I loved seeing it. We also went into the rennovated Tabernacle, which was great. The concert itself was amazing, as is the Conference Center. I love the Gospel :)

Other events.. Hm. Last week was an AWESOME week for missionary letters :) I got an amazing one from Caleb (his letters are always amazing... ) and a hilarious one from Collin. I got one from Dan, with pictures! And then I got my belated birthday package from Aaron. It made me so happy to hear from him, since I haven't since before our birthdays! He is such an amazing person. I LOVE MY BOYS!! Missionaries are the greatest :)

Last night Ayisha came over and we made brownies and just talked. She's such an amazing best friend.. Kudos to her for listening to me 24/7. One exciting thing that I must mention... HEROES starts tonight, a 3 hour event! Oh my goodness. I can't even believe it. I am so freaking excited for it to start. It's the only TV show I watch, and I am obsessed with it. Oh my.

I think to close I'll just put a picture of me and my Caleb finger puppet up, so everyone can see him. He's the cutest thing, and the closest I'll get to Caleb for 22 more months... I'll take what I can get :)

Looooong Post

Soooo. Let's do some more catching up. Once I remember how to balance my time, I'll be sure to update more regularly :)
I moved out, and I love it! My roommates are amazing (Dani, Linds and Adrea) and so is my ward! It's all turning out so great, and I know it's where I am supposed to be right now. For my birthday, I got a tape, pictures and a letter from Caleb :) Best birthday present EVER. I love him. He's doing so great... He's been there 6 weeks now! And only has 5 left, and then he's off to Korea. How crazy is that?!
What else.. School started, so that's kind of exciting.. I do love school, I just don't love homework. Homework is pretty much my nemesis in life. But I'm doing pretty good so far, and most of my classes don't have too much homework, so that's good. French has the most, of course, and I've never loved French homework... Ugh. It's nice to have a change from working all the time though... I only work 2 days a week, and it's great. More time for myself, and school. I have early classes though (MWF at 9am, and TTh at 8am) so that's kind of a bummer.
I ran into my old EFY counselor yesterday! She was my counselor... Hm, June of '06. Her name is Kris, and she was/is amazing! She inspired me a ton that week. She went on a mission, and we wrote a couple of times, but lost touch the last months of her mission. So, yesterday, there I was walking down the hall of the JKB when I see her. I was like, 'Kris?!' and it totally was and we talked and it was so great to see her! She's in the same major as I am, so she'll be a good resource for me :)
I went to dinner at Aaron's house a couple of Sunday's ago. That was so much fun. I had missed his family so much. His brother is getting married in a week and a half, so I got to meet his fiancee and 'approve' of her in Aaron's absence. Haha. She's great though. And his sister got a little pomeranian named Sophie. Craziest thing I have ever seen. She looks adorable, but is quite ferocious. I went up to Aaron's room while I was there, and it looks exactly the same. I almost started bawling as I looked around and so many memories came flooding in my head.... Us just hanging out and talking in there... Seeing the framed picture of us right next to his bed.... Seeing the stuffed monkey I bought him in Disneyland, wearing the little green hat we bought for St. Patricks Day, displayed by his bed along with the little stuffed gorilla that I gave him for Valentine's day, with the keychain we got at Sweethearts that says 'Wild Thing' on it. More pictures of us on the wall by his bed... Our photo booth pictures and my senior picture stuck on his mirror... Oh how I miss that boy. So much. He has been gone for 10 MONTHS on Sunday. I can't believe he's hit double digits. In one of his last letters to me, he said that he loves it out there so much, he doesn't really want to come home. How I love him, he's such an amazing guy, and I am so lucky to have him as my best friend...
*sigh*
Now that I've rambled about Aaron for forever and a year...
Life is going great. I miss Caleb like none other. I really wish he could just hold me sometimes.. But it's ok, everything will turn out ok :)
It's been really sad seeing all my Seven Peaks friends go off to school... I miss us all just hanging out. We had such good times. I love them all... Oh, and Peter, wonderful Peter leaves on his mission next month! I can't believe it. He's such a great friend... We're going to the Rocket Summer concert next Friday night, it's going to be a blast! I can't wait!!
Well, I think that's about all I can think of for now... Today is letter day :) So when I get home from work, I should have a letter from Caleb waiting for me! Yay! I love love love letters. They make me so happy... He's wonderful, and amazing. And I couldn't ask for anything better.
Oh, I did think of some more things, wow, this is going to be a long post.
I went to the temple two days ago with my roommates to do baptisms. It was amazing! I haven't been to the temple since my senior year, seriously. It was great to go again. I just feel love. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. And peace. Love and Peace. It's so wonderful.
Also, I went to Kav to get my hair done. A really dark brown window... Except it sort of turned out purpleish. Haha. Gotta love it. I'm going back there today to fix it... But it's kind of entertaining while it's lasting. Oh man. I'm also going shopping with Ish today for scrapbooking stuff.... Yay!
K, that really is it, I hope.
