Things I have discovered this semester of Sophomore year

This is how my sophomore 30 is looking right about now....
1. Anatomy=Love but Microbiology=hate
2. I make 11:11 wishes everyday, and I believe in them!
3. I sing in the car. Always.
4. My biggest pet peeve is when I can hear people smacking their food. Like I can't even deal.
5. Being LDS is probably the best thing about my life. And the temple, that thing is gem. Go to the temple, often. It will make your life so much better.
6. I love teeth, and that would be why I want to be a dental hygienist. And no, I obviously don't think it's gross to work in peoples mouths, otherwise I would have chosen a different profession.
7. I want to marry a doctor, like bad.
8. My body doesn't crave chocolate, it craves breakfast burritos.
9. My biggest goal in life is to become a wife and mother.
10. I wear the same two rings every day, and if I forget to put them on, my day will just fall apart.
11. I can open any jar you give me. Like the ones sealed really tight, yea those are my specialty.
12. Two words: Country Music
13. I miss my five sisters every day, like seriously, you have no idea.
14. When I am dehydrated I drink milk. When I am not dehydrated I drink milk.
15. I make brownies to eat the batter, not the actual brownies.
16. In anatomy I get to hold eyes, brains, and hearts and I feel fine about it. Just take anatomy and I dare you to try to argue with me that there is no God.
17. The "Little Women" soundtrack makes me all kinds of emotional.
18. I am not a graceful crier.
19. My mom is my favorite person.
20. It took me a couple of tries but I love sushi!
21. Still going strong in the "I've never had a boyfriend" department.
22. I miss crafting. Crafting makes me happy.
23. Lake Powell is my favorite place on this very Earth, and I wish I could live there. (not really, but really ya know?)
24. Maple donuts are my weakness.
25. My love for One Direction grown stronger by the day.
26. I love to hike. And rock-climbing has always been on my bucket list. Also eating lobster, that's on my bucket list too, even though that is totally unrelated.
27. My family is my number 1.
28. Blue cloudless skies are my favorite, and summer is my season.
29. I have 3 best friend missionaries out right now (Whit-Guatemala, Stacey-Philippines, Rachel-Alabama) also I have 4 best friends that are family that are out right now (Sam-California, Matt-Mexico, Twins-Mexico) And to say that I miss these people is the biggest understatement of the century.
30. This year of school has been busy as heck. And it had been good, it really has. It has also been the hardest, school wise and friend wise. But even though all my friends are gone, I have grown so much as a person and I am thankful for this trial everyday.
And that is a wrap of my Sophomore 30 peeps. (And this is only the fall semester version) Boom.

Can I get a HELLO?

I had to say goodbye to my Sisters today and it just about broke my heart.

Well first off you should know that they really aren't my sisters, they are my cousins, but everyone calls them "The sisters," it's cute ya know?

And they both leave for Mexico manana. (Yes, they are both going to Mexico/but different missions!)

You see in my family we are all best friends. We have family reunions every year, and we just get each other. I have definitely learned in my life that friends come and go, but these people, I get to have them for a long long time.

I am so proud of these two for serving a mission. They are going to do incredible things ALL while becoming the women I know they want to become.

And saying bye to them today was ruff. The tears, oh the tears.....I just honestly lost it so bad cause all of my best friends are out on missions, and it's hard.

I'm so done with goodbyes. I have never been good at them, and then all of a sudden the universe throws 10 billion of them at me, and I just don't even know how to deal.

And while I love all these missionaries out there, I can't handle saying bye to one more person.

I think I would officially lose it.

All I want right now is a Hello.

I want a hello that would make the broken heart fix itself.

I just want someone to be an epic hello during all these goodbyes.

Yea, if I could I have one wish it would be for some lucky (returned missionary-so there is no chance of them leaving!) person to be my hello, and that would be prime.

Well, sisters, I know you are going to do amazing things. I love you death. You are my twins forever and ever, and even though this was one of the hardest goodbyes, I can't wait to say hello again.

I love you. Do work. And ummmm families are forever!

See ya latter October

-Well Halloween happened. I went to Chipotle for the first time and I loved it! Burritos....they just get me. And that was probably the highlight of the day. Is that sad? Food was the best part of my Halloween? Well in any case, after that we went to the Center Street dance, and it was ok. There was just some drama, so I think we were all off of our groove, but it's whatever. It was still a good time.
- I went to the vocal point concert, and someone traded me and Shanoah with their third row tickets and we cried.
-I went to open lab on Saturday. That's right. I went to school on Saturday, cause it didn't work out so I could go in on Friday. I just wished I was outside the whole time cause it was a BEAUTIFUL day, but other than that, I like learning about our hearts :)
-I took down all our Halloween decorations and put up the Thanksgiving ones.
-SkyeLyn and I had a "date" and we did the most perfect thing in the world. We went and drove around Alpine, like in the sickening rich part and we picked out our favorite/future houses ;) Then, we went to orange leaf, cause sometimes you just need a little fro-yo in your life. And then we watched 27 dresses. Then Bailey came home and we talked about boys deep into the night.
-I hung out with Lu and Britt and Mandie. My cousins are the bomb.com and I live for them.
And that's a wrap of October. Peace.

And lately...

^^Missionary letters. Isn't Matt the cutest? He will be home this coming summer and we are very excited about that over here. Then we can finally do all that cousin bonding that's been lacking to for two whole years!^^

^^The Halloween floral arrangement made for the festivities of the season. (And I have grown to hate this class oh so much.)^^

^^I saw this beauty walking to class one day. These people clearly know what's up.^^

^^Halloween treats from my Grandparents/Aunt. My fam is the bees knees.^^

^^We got to go into the food tent at the football game and we don't regret one calorie that was consumed in the process.^^

^^One word. Drives. I go on at least one, maybe even two drives a day to look at the leaves and houses. I don't know how this became one of my favorite pastimes, but it has and I love it.^^

^^Gosh, I love Utah. And these cloudless blue skies have been killlling me lately!^^

^^Behold, the ribbon banner is up and running.^^

^^Maybe it's the lack of sleep that made this so funny to me, or the fact that 95% of mine, Whit's, and Stacey's jokes were about food, and I just really miss them. Like really.^^

^^Some times cookie butter is what get me through the day. Cause I mean....college. It's ruff on the soul sometimes.^^

And tomorrow is Halloween and we are gonna bust a moooove at the center street dance! Ole!

Some pumpkins and some d-town lovin

 This past week I took my anatomy midterm. I did pretty well on it, but studying for that thing melted my brain. Ask me ANY bone or ANY muscle and I will know it. So in order to break up that studying I crafted, cause what else? And I made a chevron glitter pumpkin, and that is what got me though the week. It's the little things.

Oh, and then I had the grandest weekend. On Friday my brain was still fried so we just went on a Target run and then watched 500 days of summer. (classic)

Then on Saturday we went to the Draper temple (one of my favorites) and we got have lunch with Tami, and that was the best cause she is just the most fantastic.

Then we went and saw the Saratov approach. Holy cow. One word-TEARS.

That movie was so powerful and so inspirational. I love the church. Let's leave it at that.

And now we have the start of a new week filled with three spanking new midterms for me to take. I think I need some chocolate milk and lots of missionary letters to get through this one.

Thank goodness for Sundays. Re-group days.

Now lets have the best week.

This past weekend

 I went to the pizza truck. It was ok. And by ok I mean that it was amazing. I miss Friday pizza nights at my house, so this sure made up for it.

 I got a freaking three pager from Stace-girl! I laughed, I cried. I miss this woman. A lot.

Annnnnd cupcakes. I think God knew people would have bad days so he let cupcakes be invented. And thank goodness for that because this past week was hellish, and this week is looking to be pretty insane too. My love/hate relationship with college right now is realllll people.
But, let's just say this week will be amazing and pray that it is.

The happiest weekend

This was one of those weekends that makes you feel good about life. It's like you have a really hard week, and you're just freaking out about everything and everything seems to not be going how you would particularly like it to be going, and then a weekend like this happens and you know that God is looking out for you, and every little thing is totally going to be ok.

 So first off lets talk about these people. These girls are 100% hot, humble, and the best company. Something about our freshman ward will make me be best friends with these girls forever and always and I am ok with that.

 Oh by the way we went up to Sundance to bask in Utah's glory and to take pictures. And our roommate pictures if I do dare say turned out darling! Minus the fact that all we had to work with was an iphone......the day I get a nice camera will be the best day of my life.

 The original 1103 kickin it fall style. Seriously Sundance we love you.

And then Sunday happened. Sunday's are always the best days, and this was one of those days that was the best of the best. So you think Sundance is pretty? Drive the Alpine loop. Your mind will be blown. I have NEVER seen anything so wonderful in my life. Like for reals. The leaves are on fire, and then there are snow capped mountains in the background, and you just can't handle the beauty. Also General Conference was the best  (per usual) and I felt God's love so strong this weekend. He really is mindful and loves us all so much. And I am so thankful for that knowledge every day of my life. I am so glad I get to live in this incredible place during my college years. It's the best ever and I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING.
