The weird kid.

I have a lot of random thoughts today..
       *I fell asleep on my couch last night. Its not the right size for a person of my height to sleep on! I had just told Jamie and Careissa that I never fall asleep during movies. False, apparently i do now, and I'm feeling the consequences today!
       *Have you ever gotten stuck with the weird person of the class when the teacher tells you to find a partner?? Welcome to my life. EVERYDAY! Maybe I'm the weird one that others get stuck with, but I'm pretty sure these people I get partnered up with are the weird ones!!
      * UVU makes you wear a uniform shirt if you take a gym class here. They are always warm when i put it on. It freaks me out!
      *I'm trying to sell my apartment contract. I have two people coming to look at it today! YAY! Hopefully i can sell it.
      *Last of all, Lacey and Eric  got married yesterday and it was beautiful! I love them!!

Smiley Face!

Last Tuesday my apartment was invited over for Taco Tuesday. We had so much fun and it was delish!! The boys in our ward are so nice and we loved hanging out with them. Anyways we brought unfried fried icecream for dessert. It was soooo good! Here it is:
The recipe is simple, just crush up some frosted flakes mix it with cinnamon, then cut your softened ice cream into the size you want. Roll your ice cream in your frosted flakes, sprinkle with more cinnamon, then drizzle them with chocolate, the recipe calls for honey instead of chocolate, but honestly chocolate is a much better idea! Next time I want to drizzle with caramel and chocolate! Mmm! Also today I made a giant decision that will effect my life. I'm way excited and once its all official there will be a post to inform all you curious people:) SMILEY FACE!!

Grapes and Carrots

Today in Biology my professor passed around grapes and carrots for an object lesson. The kid next to me, who i must say was quite attractive takes a grape and starts to pass them to me then he looks at me and says "These are my grapes i grew them in my garden. will you pass them around and share them with the class?" I obviously knew he was kidding so i just went along with it. Then about a minute later the carrots came from the opposite direction. So as I pass them to this kid. I say " I grew these in my garden and i brought them to share." He looked at with a strange look and this was our conversation..
 "These are yours?"
"Yep, i got them from my garden."
"Oh, i was kidding those grapes weren't really mine."
" I know, these carrots aren't really mine"
"I'm so confused. OOOHH she passed around grapes and carrots??"
"Yes.."
People around me got it and laughed but I still don't think he thought i was in the least bit clever.
I still find it hilarious so i just had to share. I hope you think its funny too!

A Very Unhappy Valley

I have no idea where everyone is but i haven't seen any life for three days now! Ok that is an exaggeration but i have been in my new apartment all by myself for three days. All my roommates brought their stuff and then none of them stayed here. Since school hasn't started and i get lost or stuck in traffic whenever i try and go somewhere, I decided to just stay in my apartment all day. Let me tell you I am so bored of talking to myself! I call my mom every hour just to update her on how i have sat on my bed looking at the ceiling. Its bad, really bad! Luckily right before i went insane i went to UVU with Madison and we attempted to find all of our classes but like i said earlier i get lost every time i leave my apartment so we got lost a couple times. Student and Teachers just watched us and laughed. "Hey thanks for helping us out... we OBVIOUSLY are new here.. but don't worry we will get it!" and we did we figured it out but i would have been nice if someone would have helped us out. Basically I'm just whining but if things don't start to get better its going to be a very unhappy valley.

I just had to share

I made these cute little thank you baskets (with the help of my mom) for the people at work since I quit to move down to school.They are cookies on a stick:) They turned out so cute so i just had to share!
