Un-blogged

There are a few things in my life that have gone un-blogged... allow me to blog them.

Yes- i caught the glee fever. This is of no shock to myself seeing as i've predicted it for the past year. When Glee first came out and everyone was talking about it- i knew it would be one to ride an addiction within me. But i was at the time trying to feed my House, Md and Office addictions... i just couldn't handle another one- correction: my gpa couldn't handle another one. And so i fought it. It was extremely hard because everyone that knew me well knew it was my kind of show- the music and dance and hot men and drama and all. So naturally they pressured me to watch- but i refused. I had to exercise control while i still had it. I wouldn't even watch a glimpse or hear a single note of it because i knew that would be all it'd take to spark the obsession.
Well after a long year of fight- I caved. And lets just say I haven't slept since. Consequently- my academics and social life are suffering alike, but i'm almost done with the first season. I'm currently on a Glee binge- its extremely overwhelming, but i know it will be all over soon. (Of which i both love and hate). And so it goes- i'm a gleek. a hard core, medley-humming, episode-obsessing, music-replaying, cast-stalking, dance-gawking gleek.

In other news- i met a guy...
and that's all you get of that :)
lets just say i can't WAIT for Halloween weekend.

How kick butt is my playlist?? i still have some tweaking to do- but it is just such perfection for me.

***

Here are some pictures that have gone un-blogged. These are my little girls and i will love them until i have no love left in me (which will never happen).





***

I have been doubting a bit lately... just call me Descartes. Finally- yesterday, i loved both dance AND psychology... in the same day. Hahaha that hasn't happened in a while... but alas it did. And days like that make it all worth it to me :)

***

So apparently there's something called a Fall break... wouldn't know what that is. (yes, byu, i am Still bitter we don't get one of those whatchamacallits that everyone but me is familiar with. but i still love you). Wassup mid-semester blues. I'm still waiting for that second wind...

***

i did all my laundry- which took about 6 hours, but i have yet to relocate the clean clothes from nice neat piles into my closet or drawers. i can barely walk in my room- it's absurd.

***

today- in half an hour actually, i get to take a master dance class from Bebe Miller. yeah she's kinda a big deal and i am sooo grateful i get to take class from her!! She has won multiple choreography awards- including the Bessie. WOW! What an experience that will be :)

***

well it's friday folks and i really don't have many plans but i'm incredibly grateful for the weekend- even tho i was quite the slacker this week. One thing i can't deny- amidst personal weaknesses and amazing opportunities i encounter as i go thru my days, is the incredible amount of support i have. I am surrounded by wonderful people that inspire me daily. Whether it's an uplifting facebook status, blog that makes me laugh, kind e-mail, meaningful phone call, or a personal encounter- they mean the world to me. So- thanks all! because no matter who you are, you have helped me in one way or another on some day when i needed it most- and you probably don't even know it. :)

Weddings, Parties, and Conference- Oh my!

Has it been forever or WHAT! Haha well much has transpired since my last blog. Here are a few fun things i have been up to:


I got a letter from my amazing missionary!!! (left)


















My cute aunt Cathy got married!



















I got to see my awesome Garrick cousins!!






We had a hoppin' housewarming party!


















Tons of incredible people came ranging from family to friends to random folks we didn't even know. There was lots of yummy food, crazy dancing, meditation (don't ask), and fun times!
































I did a photoshoot with darbs after she let me give her bangs!!






























Darby and her roommie, Brynn, stayed at my slc house for a few days as we had a fabulous General Conference weekend and even got to attend the Saturday pm session. It was incredible!! If you missed it, i encourage you to look it up on lds.org. Talk about inspired words that will change your life.























It clearly served as a fun girl's weekend as well! My dear mother played the incredible and sweet hostess. I got to go walking Twice with her! She is such a wonderful woman.









Well that basically sums up my life as of late... minus the part that school has completely taken me over. I even got a locker on campus... watch out byu i'm movin in! haha. I absolutely love it. I am exactly where i am suppose to be, doing what i am suppose to be doing, and nothing could be better. I study like its my job and t.a. and take tests and do assignments and go to classes and read textbooks all my days long- the only daylight i see is when i'm walking from one building to the next. I met with my cousin/adviser Landon (who is freaking incredible) and we did a grad plan. If all goes well- i will graduate a year from this Spring and then head off to grad school. Right now, education is everything to me. It is my life, my passion, and what consumes my time and energy. That is how it should be and i'll gladly devote myself to such good a cause! Studying Psychology, Dance, and family life is so rewarding to me. It has been hard, though, to not focus on friends and a social life as much. But the girls i have dance class with are my bff's, and the midget that i eat lunch with in the cougareat is my lover, and i just have to trust that everyone else will support me in this endeavor. I know, for a fact, that my mom does- and what a HUGE strength that has been. I had some drama last week, and she was an emotional crutch while i needed it for those few days. I have incredible roommates and wonderful friends that i get to text every once in a while. Am i blessed or what. Yesterday I even cleaned and rearranged my room while doing a load of laundry. See, i knew i'd get the hang of it.

P.s. i had to rearrange my room in result of horrid sleeping at nights (see post titled Sleeping and Laughter for details). Point of the story- with my bed against the wall i was constantly waking up with bruises and scratches. I LOVE the new layout, tho!

Additional good news!
My brother/cousin, Nik will be wed to his beautiful Amber this weekend! I am a bridesmaid and can't wait to celebrate with them!!!!! Like really- i'm so stoked! I also get to write a little ditty to say at the dinner.... that will be great- i'll make sure to post it here.

I took my first test of the year and got a B! Considering the university i go to, and that it was my first test of the year/ class- that is fantastic!

Well time to grab food and head to class.

xoxo
