The Important Things

WHOA, THE SEMESTER IS OVER IN ONE WEEK!!!

A LOT has happened. Like: I surprised my family and went to Texas, I started gaining my "winter coat", I laughed til I cried (mainly with Steph), I said goodbye to crappy friends and their non-stop drama, I finally got over Adam Anderson, I ripped off my eyelash extensions (resulted in stubs) but they are growing back :), I slipped and almost broke my ankle on the Rexburg ice, I failed e v e r y single math test I took, I drank one plus Horkley's a day, I realized what a good friend is, I got mystic tanned (soo classic), I realized that some people never change, I decided that nobody's idea of me means more than God's, I realized that when Conan O'Brian stops his show my life will be imcomplete, BUT most importantly, I fell in love with Mr. Stoddard (so what if im copying nienie).

Another thing I learned is that life isn't

ever

going

to be perfect,

but it can be pretty close. I'm grateful for a Heavenly Father who blesses me ten-fold when I try my best to follow Him. I have learned that life works out just the way it's supposed to.

Thank goodness.

I hope everyone's holiday season is full of family, friends, and the realization that life is a blessing. Don't take it for granted. Live life the way YOU want to live it; that is the only true key to happiness.

That and fudge. :)

Sick Mullin's

Something kind of funny to imagine is my whole family having the flu at the same time. its happening right now...i'm glad im in idaho, but I kinda wish I was there (not sick of course) to see this, document it with live footage, and make everlasting memories. I get my sick attitude from my mom. If I feel any ounce of sickness I immediately tell everyone "i'm sick" and need a million things from them. Mainly a sprite (only to be drank when sick), a blankie, or probably everyone's favorite to "hold my hand". I'm pretty bad, but my mom is even worse. ahhhhahhaa. Sorry Fam, I wish I was there to help you out. :)

It snowed in Rexburg yesterday. It melted. Thank goodness.

It's gonna be a LONG winter.

Well thats all I have for now. GET WELL SOON FAMILY. Oh and Watch NIENIE tomorrow on Oprah. If you havent checked her blog out, please do! www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com. She is my personal hero, legit.

2009 is ending good

Lindsey and Nate totally hit it off! Yes, I am currently self-proclaiming the title of Best MatchMaker 2009. They get along so great and it makes my heart soar! They were both over at my apartment this weekend to celebrate my birthday and they are so hot together. Pictures to come....

Another awesome thing, I finally roped in a boyfriend. His name is Jonathan and he makes me laugh really hard. I mean I've had a rough run ladies and gentlemen, from a mission-waiting experience gone completely wrong, wondering why only weird guys asked me out, to unrequited love, and a couple broken hearts on both ends along the way, as silly as it sounds, I was wondering when something, anything would work out in my favor! ahhh he's great. I mean, who doesnt want someone awesome to be obsessed with them? I'm obsessed with him too....

Also, I really miss my little sister, Ally. Seriously. Idaho is bouncing into winter rather quickly and I always have a cold and she's not here to go get me a drink!

You know what I just thought? 2009 is ending a lot better than it started.

I Love Love!

So I havent been funny in awhile...lame! Ive just been struggling lately. But hopefully after this weekend I'll have a funny story or two to tell because I'm trying my hand at...MATCHMAKING!! My friends Lindsey and Nate are metting and it is about time because I personally think they will be perfect for each other! :) if any of you know them you know they are very passionate and full of life...to put it the best way. This could be terrible, or this could be great! but seriously, look she even brought him a barbie cake! match made in heaven..yes!

I'm excited! I LOVE love (thank you The Format) and I want people to be in it. :)

ps, anyone wanna spot me a grand for school this semester? that would be awesome, i accept personal checks, money orders, and cash! thanks :)

Call me Julia

Here she is. The book I've decided to get. I will be working my way through this book. It'll take years I'm sure! But I'm going to master the art of cooking! It's time.

Shoot for the stars my friends.

my friends know im emo. alright, i really am. im that one person crying when the winner gets selected for Idol, or the lone ranger in the theater during Transformers who's crying when shia finally tells megan fox he loves her. (but seriously that was the best "i love you" ever.) im like Peyton from One Tree Hill but with no real reason to be. i mean my mom is still alive and my dad doesnt travel the sea on boat. no wonder i always found her annoying....shes my emotional twin....

so tonight my friend and i went to dinner. hes real into CIA stuff, ya know? like the kind where you kill the bad guy with a sniper gun from the top of some building. and as we were talking about that i realized that he was made to be into that and I was made to be emotional, and i have to embrace that i have always been this way. it has it's pros for sure...like growing up if i wanted something BAM, tears. If i want something now, BAM, tears. haha, not really but the emotional play up can come into handy. i just need to learn how to hone this power in better when dealing with the boys. i'm "shady" as they say, and its probably because i cant say "i like you" which could be extremely confusing considering my dating track record. i just come home and get my pink spiral with hearts all over it out and write about how i like how they make fun of my loud somewhat annoying laugh, or how my heart is going to burst one day because they make me happy. i wish i could SAY it though. that'd be sweet. but just like my friend is gonna have to practice shooting at targets until he shoots the terrorist in real life, i'll have to practice shooting my feelings onto the boys until i finally meet the one who doesnt need me to say it exactly as he probably will deserve it.

Mulling it over

ew im eating this bagel sandwich and it is just getting everywhere.

anyway, its Thursday. Big Day around the office....not. My boss is about to have her baby and im supposed to be replacing burnt out light bulbs this very minute. I'm a very busy woman. according to my work my time is almost free to them. sure does make me feel great about myself.

so the last few days i've been thinking a few things...

like about how annoying it is that people don't say how they truly feel. maybe its to spare someone's feelings, or maybe it's because they are afraid of what will change. recently, i told a person that i would not talk to him anymore. this has been tried before and failed everytime. but only because i was never expressing to him how i truly felt. finally i did it! i told him in the nicest way possible that he sucks and i dont need it. and ya know, the truth has set me free! i wish more people would try the truth vest on. it looks great!

i've also been thinking about relationships. maybe because i'm lonely here in rexburg and all my friends are doing more fun things at home with their families/friends and i miss them. i am so solidily sure that happiness is only happiness when shared. the things that matter in life are not things. they are people. i love my people. i miss them!

i've also been thinking about regret. its a real thing ya know? there are so many decisions that i've made that have led me to where i am and i'm so grateful for them. but there are a couple that i wish i could take back and choose something else. or more importantly, someone else. luckily i have hope for the future. :)

im sorry this isnt funny. i promise i'll come up with something yall can laugh at soon!

--all my love from idaho.
