"It's Totally Going To Change The Way I Cook."

I love this chopper.

You think I kid.

I kid you not.

It will chop anything. I love to chop chicken with it. Be warned- it is easy to get a little overly excited with this thing. You may end up with itty bitty slivers of chicken.

Thanks Mom!

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are not sure how it happened to you?? I find myself in this situation when it comes to guys. Sometimes I just stand there and ask myself, " did that really just happen?" Or what I am really thinking is, "Did that really just happen to me???"

What triggered this blog post you may be asking yourself... well let me tell you.

Around 3 weeks ago a guy we will call "Derick" started asking when we would hang out. He was clearly suddenly single- I asked, and of course I was correct. I was flattered that he wanted to hang out but he already had 2 strikes against him from a few months ago and I knew for a fact that I did not like him. I told him that I was extremely busy and had no time to hang out with him. Strangly this did not stop him. He kept asking me to hang out and finally to get him out of my hair I told him we could hang out. He then asks me to help him study for a test. What the?? Since I was only doing this as a means to an end I agreed to help him study. Also- I happen to be a fabulous study buddy.

Day of the Study Hang Out:

7:30am: The following text message conversation takes place,

(D)"Are we still on for tonight?"
(A) "Yes"
(D) "I should warn you I am a bad group studier. So we should plan on doing something else too."
***Then why on earth did you ask me to help you study?
(A) "Why don't you bring a game then?"
(D) "I'm just really bad at planning stuff"
***I am pretty sure I just told you what to do-- not a lot of planning needed to choose a game.

5:15pm

(A) "Are you coming straight from work?"
(D) "Yes"
(A) "Alright- I will have some dinner for you"
(D) "That would be great- thanks"

(D) "Can you give me directions to your apartment?"
(A) "Directions given"

(D) "I have some good and bad news. Do you like sushi? Because it is my moms birthday and it is her birthday dinner and I can't stay. Do you want to go?"
(A) "Thanks for the offer but no I already ate."
(D) "Oh okay, well sorry I feel bad. "[No- he doesn't.]
(A) "No really do not feel bad."
(D) "Okay so then can I use your bathroom?"
(A) "Sure."

5:39pm
Departs my apartment and promises we will hang out soon.

I am sitting on the couch asking myself if that really just happened.

Yep. It did. And the toilet seat was left up.

Gleek.

I heart Glee

and sometimes I forget my middle name.

Can't wait for tonight!

Spoiled.

I feel so spoiled.

This lovely young woman has graced me with her presence 4 different weekends in the past 5 weeks. We never run out of things to say. We are constantly laughing. Even when we are doing nothing. She is so sweet and fun. We have a billion inside jokes that can make us laugh at any given moment.

This is us at General Conference.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

You are the best.

Check It Out!

Mandie had the cutest photographer at her wedding.

See her here!!!

Wish I Was Here!

It is April- why is there snow?!

When I check the weather on my phone Monterey still pops up!

FYI their high is 61 and have a low of 45 today.

I love this picture of my mom and me!

Mandies Wedding

I survived my first expeience as a bridesmaid!! Mandie made a beautiful bride. I am so excited for her and her husband.

Us at the SL Temple...

We took pictures at Memory Grove-- but I left my camera at the apartment! Hopefully I get to see the pics because i think they are going to turn out adorable.

Reception.

Mandies mother made 9 dresses. That is love.

Wedding Dinner

My sweet partner in crime from this summer got married.

My first real good friend to get married... I survived to tell the tale!

My sweet friend and me

A few Alpha Phis at the dinner....

Even though Mandie getting married is exciting and fun it still weirds me out that she is all married and what not! It makes me happy to know that when I get married she will be able to be there in the Temple with me.
