I can't pass up an opportunity to post on such an awesome day! Too bad I'm a few minutes late to have it be posted at 11:11...

Now my friday will be spent studying for a deadly test, a 3 hour chem experiment, and then the deadly test itself.

My weekend is nowhere in sight.

But my day was made when I received a text that said,
"Sometimes I think you struggle with this concept, but you are loved. Don't ever forget it."

Thank you kind sir.

Have a wishful day!

And an even better weekend!


LOVES.

I'm abiding by

No shave november.

don't tell anyone. :)

Let it be known

Last night was date night. 

We'll call him Kage. aka cornia

I had first date jitters.

Poor thing drove down from South Jordan in yucky utah county construction. 

And we went to see Harry Potter in the dollar theater.

That's what I did on my last date ironically. 

Back in July. Yes, July.

Judge me. 

He's a hoot.

And cute. :)

It was a real good time. 

I told him I'd drive to him next time since he's been down to provo twice now. 

And since he drives a hot truck that is a gas guzzler i'm sure. 

We'll see if I ever see him again. Haha

Here's some awkward pictures for you.

bye.

Handbags.........

Stupid auto correct.

Sharon sent me a funny text today.
I responded with hahaha handbags.
Handbags?
no. I meant hahahahhaha

As much as I hate it there are some funny things that come from it. Like this convo with parker...

Parker: You wanna watch the game with us tonight?
Me: We are watching it over here! You guys should join us
Parker: We're watching it at beast. You should come with us!
Me: What is that?
Parker: hahahhahaha at BRODY'S. Lol he is a beast.

But these are the best:

Haunted.

Seems like a harsh word for what I'm about to say, but sums up how I feel quite perfectly. I thought that after the viewing and funeral were done the hard part would be over. Well I was dead wrong about that. I think it has gotten worse. It has seemed the past month or so I have been "haunted" by Greg memories. I say haunted because they are the bad memories. The painful ones that bring the tears. I hate to say it but sometimes I still cry myself to sleep. Nights like tonight when I have a hard time falling asleep are the worst. I find myself laying in bed looking at this:

Over the past few months I've tried to make a point to be real tired before I get in bed. I've got to distract myself otherwise to avoid a sleepless night. Things will hit me at different times. Sometimes it doesn't take much.

• going to my first viewing since--seeing a casket/mourning family/etc.
• hearing a song we sang at the funeral like 'Be Still My Soul'
• singing 'How Great Thou Art' at stake conference which all of guys sang at the funeral.
• The song 'If I Die Young' is like a swear word in my apt or car. Sharon is conditioned to immediately change the song no matter where we are (even on the neighbor's computer--thank you!) but when you are ice skating and the song comes on there isn't much you can do but cover your ears. And then there goes my night.
• Opening my email to find a whole bunch of pictures like these from a friend

• Driving to Logan being so close to Blacksmith Fork Canyon.
• Realizing I don't get to go find the funniest Christmas card possible and send it to Greg and convince him that I win in our annual attempt to give each other the funnier one. He's convinced he won last year but I beg to differ since it took me 10 minutes to even understand. 

Luckily I've gotten really good at saving my tears for the bedroom. I think my cute little BYU boys from Vocal Point said it best on the Sing Off... (P.S. Don't you love them? They better win. Also sidenote, the redhead girl from Delilah, yeah i know her. We go bowling together).

I'll be missing you Greggor

BUSTED

Currently I am in love with:

They have this deal right now where you pay 8 dollars and you get 30 days of unlimited movies.

Awesome right?

So of course I am set on getting my moneys worth.

I think Sharon and I have watched a movie nightly since.

SO... I need some good movies to rent. Give me some ideas people!

So far we have watched:

winnie the pooh

cars 2

post-grad

water for elephants

absolutely, maybe

Also... of course i'm counting down for THIS movie to come out.

10 days? Perfect.

AND. best news of all. I am FREE Dec. 22-31. I think that is the longest I've had off from work since I got the job. Sweet Freedom. I can't wait.

And. my next semester sucks. hello 18 credits.

P.S. please leave me your addresses so i can write some of you notes aka christmas cards. 

Thanks :)

well hello again

I didn't realize how long it has been since I last blogged.

Not like I have much to update you all on. 

My Halloween was really lame. 

I didn't get festive and dress up.

In fact.....

I still haven't carved my pumpkins.

AND cornbelly's fell through. 

I wasn't as festive as I thought I was going to be.

I'll try again next Halloween. 

The only good thing that happened was seeing these weirdos.

Sometimes I am really embarrassed to know them. 

They were so proud of their costumes.

I think Alan could really pull off the girl hair. 

Kind of worries me.

Tonight I went to my first basketball game of the season.

I forgot how big of a hole that has caused in my life. 

My life is complete again. 

I LOVE byu basketball.

That's an understatement.

I'm obsessed.

I don't care if Jimmer is gone.

That means little to me.

yes i will miss him.

and he is AMAZING.

Don't get me wrong.....

BUT.

I think 3 or 4 of our players had 20 points. 

That didn't exist last season.

I'm stoked.

In fact..........

Sharon and I slept in a tent last night to prepare.

Wanna know where our tent was?

Our living room.

Yes. I'm dead serious.

It took up like the WHOLE room.

Our roommates hate us.

muahahhahaha.

Also.. Shoutout to my big little bro

His Birthday was yesterday!

he's 17. sickening.

makes me feel old.

Pretty sure i was 17 last week.

AND. The hardcore Packers fan is in San Diego right now.

Going to a Green Bay game.

Lucky.

Well, I gotta go do my cleaning for cleaning checks.

gag. least favorite night of the month.

Can you believe it is November?

and there is no snow on the ground?!

Keep it that way!!!

Hope you all have a fantabulous week!
