Happy New Years Eve!

Well, I'm in Washington and I how I missed it so.
Sometimes I wish more than anything I could move back. But I know that Utah's where God wants me for now.
However, I decided that I'm going to apply to BYU-I. And if I get accepted, I'm going to pray really hard about if I should go there. It would be so nice to finally get out of Provo. And Stevie and I would be there together which would be really awesome. But of course, It's a matter of prayer, really.
So we'll see.

Anyway. Home is wonderful. Besides the whole falling out Afton and I have had...which is...different. But I'm alright with it. Stevie, Camille, Turner and Daniel are all here. And they make Washington home to me. I miss them. Camille's going to be moving to Provo to be with Kali and me. It will be sooo much fun.
But anyway.

I don't really have plans tonight. Probably just hang out with the group or something. We'll see.
But I would now like to post a review on the best movie I've seen in years. And possibly the best movie I've seen in my entire life.

The movie is called Juno. And if you haven't seen it, you definitely should. I don't want to give anything away other than the fact that it's about a girl that gets pregnant at age 16. I promise it's not as boring or cliche as it sounds. It was an incredible film and I would recommend anyone to see it. It's a very low budget film, which I am kind of partial too anyway, but even if I wasn't, it was definitely the most well made, realistic movie I have ever seen. And Jordan and Marie will most likely come to appreciate the soundtrack as well because it's very Indie based. I have been listening to it for the last 2 days.

Anyway. Point being, Juno was an incredible movie and I would advise absolutely anyone and everyone to watch it.

I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve!

Oh, and I love you, Grandma!

I hope everyone can celebrate this joyous occasion!

#4 Random Fact

WAY TO GOOOOO, AUSTIN COLLIE!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Miko!

So our apartment is watching a puppy until Christmas because our roommate volunteered to keep it until her co-worker gives it to her daughter for Christmas. It's one of the cutest little things I have ever seen. It's a black-tri miniature Australian Shepherd. We named him Miko, though for some odd reason, Anna likes to call him Richard...Anyway. Here are some pics...I took a lot. I've grown sadly attached to the little guy.




Anyway, I'd also like to state some random facts for no apparent reason.

#1 Random fact: Jordan informed me that He and Marie got into an argument over whether or not he was the brother I was referring to in my Realization Blog. And I would like to set the record straight that he was, in fact, the one I was referring to. Sorry, Marie! Haha. So here's a little shout out to my brother who reads my blogs "religiously." Thanks, Jor! Haha.

#2 Random fact: I'm a really really terrible gift wrapper. And you'd think that within the last 10 years I'd learn how to get better at it, but no. I'm almost as bad as Jeremy. Not offense, Jer. But it's true. When I get married, I'm going to have someone come and wrap my presents professionally. There's no way my children are going to believe Santa's elves wrap as terribly as I wrap.

#3 Random fact: Uhmm, I'm really really excited for Christmas this year. I didn't think I would be, but I am sooo happy to be able to spend it with my whole family. I love my family so much, and in the last few months I've realized that more and more.

#4 Random fact: Tim Burton is an absolute genius.

#5 Random fact: My current musical obsessions include Shiny Toy Guns: We Are Pilots, A.F.I.: December Underground, and the Sweeney Todd Soundtrack.

And that is the end of my very random blog. I hope everyone has an incredible week. It's Christmas! Yeahhhhh!!!!!

Looooove, Me

Gooooodbyyyye NuCafe!

Yeah yeah! Today was my last day at Nu Skin for a whole WEEK AND A HALF. I'm soooo happy!!!!!! Ahhhhhhh. I'm so so sooo excited for Christmas this year. And at first, it was hard for me to get used to the idea that this year's Christmas would be spent in Utah, but I love the idea of being so close to my family. I love my family so so much. And the last couple of months have made me realize it more and more. Anyway, I'm basically getting paid to spend time with family. Which...I pretty much can't complain about. Well, that's my news for now!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!! I love you :)

Concert obsession.

Shiny Toy Guns. What an incredibly band to see live. They really are an incredible band. And currently, they are the band I listen to non-stop and am unable to listen to anything else. Anyway, they are amazing. I'm not sure where they place out of all of the concerts I've seen, but they were definitely up there. I went up with Hillery and James and the traffic was TERRIBLE. We also accidentally cut Brandon off while driving up...Oops! Haha. We were also late to see my friends play [Victim Effect] and Love You Long Time. We were however, able to make it for Ihatekate. And well...to put it nicely...they weren't very talented. Then Datarock came on. But I wasn't a huge fan of them, while Hillery and James were. I ended up hanging out with Rachel the whole time, which was way fun. Thennnn, the Shiny's were up in all their glory! Yeah! We were way in the middle of the mosh pit, but Rach felt dizzy, so she left before they started playing. I stayed in for the first song [Starts With One] where we had a hardcore dance party with Dawn [of Victim Effect] and friends. It was incredible. But I felt like I should head back after that and stay with Rachel as much as I wanted to be in the mosh pit. Anyway, we left early to beat traffic and because Hill and James weren't big fans of the Shiny's live. It made me sad, but that's okay. We missed the traffic by a long shot which was good.

Now I shall list the concerts I've seen in order from best to worst.

Concert obsessed? A little.

My epiphany.

So it's extremely late, and I probably shouldn't be up this late writing. But I have no other time that I can this week because tomorrow [Dun dun dun dunnn!] I'm going to the Shiny Toy Guns concert! w00t!

Anyway, this month has been among was of the worst in my life. I'll just come out and honestly say it. There wasn't anything specific making it bad either, I just wasn't happy. Though, now that I think about it, I'm sure there were some definite factors in it. Either way, It was a hard time for me. But there comes times like that in your life when you realize how much a person means to you. Through that hard time there were so many people helping me through it. There were select individuals, however, that no matter what, were there for me. Those are the people I know, will ALWAYS be there for me. No matter what happens. Come rain or shine, they are my best friends. And I feel like listing those 4 people.

Mom: You have such a hard time with everything you go through, and though half of the time you won't admit it, you are in a lot of pain. And yet, for some reason you are ALWAYS able to listen to me. Even if it's a lame story about what happened at work. You know how to put me in a good mood no matter what mood I am in. I love you so much and I am so blessed to have such an amazing mother. I mean that with every fiber of my being. I love you.

Lindsay: You knew exactly what I was going through and exactly how to help me in the time I needed it. Growing up, we always had the hardest time getting along, but now we're so much closer and I'm so so glad. Because you truly are one of my best friends. I love you so much, sis. Thanks for always being there when I need you.

Marci: My twin sister, oh how I love you so. I know that more than anything, you want me to feel that I can turn to you. And I know that i can. I love you and respect you for the decisions you have made in your life. I look up to you so much and I'm so blessed to have such an amazing twin sister in my life. Even though we fight. It's only normal and I love you so much more because of it. haha.

Kali: My best friend in the entire world. We definitely have had our hard times. And though it may be cheesy that I'm dedicating a paragraph in my blog to you, you really are my best friend. No matter who I may lose in my friend circle, you are constantly there whenever I need you. You are one of the few people I know that I could call in the middle of the night and you would listen. I love you, Kal. Thank you for being such an amazing best friend.

Well, there that is. Anyway, after a practical slap in the face, and some long and deep conversations, I realized that there are some things I needed to change before I could truly be happy. A lot of things have been said behind my back by people who I thought really cared about me and who I cared for in return. It hurt to find out, But I realize that by talking in return about people wasn't helping the situation either. So I decided to change it.

I absolutely refuse to speak an unkind word about anyone anymore. Even if it's someone I don't know. It only brings me down. And ever since I have stopped, I have felt so much better about myself and my life. I am able to appreciate things again and I love it. So there is my epiphany, and sort of a new years resolution too, I guess.

Also, I am extremely blessed with an INCREDIBLE job that I wouldn't trade for the world. I thank Heavenly Father for it every single day.

But I am off to bed for now. So have a lovely sleep.

Kelli
