Okay for some reason I have been on a serious Lady Antebellum craze lately. Actually, I really have gotten into some country music lately. It's really strange because if you know me, I'm not always proud of the fact that I'm from the South but recently I really really love it and my accent has come out a lot more. It's fun. I'm really liking it a lot. Haha. I don't like country either, but I really like it a lot lately. Still not into the super twangy stuff and I don't really know If I ever will be, but I think it's a good thing I'm getting into my southern roots. If you have any recommendations for me, let me know! :-)
So my roommate blogs about her love life a lot and I realized that I don't do that at all. I leave little hints every now and then, but nobody gets them because NOBODY knows whats going on half the time. And let's be honest... the majority of the time, I don't either. Anyway, the point is, I decided I'm going to blog about my love life tonight. Because all my other blogs have been kind of boring lately. So I'm gonna bring on the good stuff.
Where to start... Oh goodness. Okay well, for those who are close to me, you have probably heard me talk about Brian--my best friend of...4+ years now. And if you know that, you also know that friends is all we ever have been for many many reasons. Some of which I still am confused about. Haha. Anyway, he just got off his mission. I've gone to Utah a couple times, he's come up here, and we've hung out and had A LOT of fun together. It's so so complicated though because I feel like there is something there, but because we never have enough time to explore that, there hasn't been a lot of progress made. In the past I had forgotten what it was like to miss someone... and he's made me remember that feeling. I also don't think he really knows how much I care about him and I don't really know how to convey that to him. Even as just friends, this has got to be one of the hardest relationships I've ever been in. But it's totally worth it. And I'm honestly happy with everything.
K so then there's Sam. He's from Washington. And he was in my ward last semester but we never really talked or hung out. Anyway, we started talking on facebook a lot. I won't lie, I'm pretty interested. He's very much my type. He's tall, and has dark hair and GORGEOUS green eyes. He's super athletic and funny too. Anyway, he came to visit last week and we went out to Jamba Juice (I highly highly recommend the pumpkin splash drink they have! so good!) and it was just really fun! We had good conversation and he was very respectful. We'll see though.
There's also Jared. Who was also in my ward last semester and is friends/roommates with these other guys I was interested in. He's a stud and sooo funny. He went to Ukraine on his mission, very cool I know. I love Russian so it's a total plus. He doesn't have any idea that I'm interested either. He kind of reminds me of Korben in his sense of style and his sense of humor. Which is appealing cuz Korben is like my best friend and what girl doesn't want a guy who has similar qualities?
That's pretty much it... I'm sure I drive my roommates crazy with all this stuff. Especially since I'm so on and off with all of them. I really really like Brian a lot. Sam and Jared are kind of "let's see what happens" type of things. Like I would be okay if we ended up just being friends. I'm just takin it a day at a time though. What else can I do! Whatev. It's fun. :-)

Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground
Stress sucks. And I really don't think it likes me very much. I don't handle it well. I'm a very laid back person and very non-confrontational. So when stress hits, it is literally a nightmare. I wish I knew of a stress management class. Except I don't know how much good that would do for me because it would probably just stress me out even more having to deal with that class on top of everything else in my life. Ha. I may look into it.
I have 17 credits for next semester: Motor Development, Chemistry 106 with a lab, Exercise Physiology with a lab, Sports Nutrition, Photography, & Weight Lifting for women. Yeah I'm gonna be pretty busy. The response I've gotten when I tell people that has been pretty 50/50 too. So I can't figure out if I'll end up dropping or not. A lot of these classes will be a cake walk, it'll just be putting the time and effort into them is what will be hard. I'm really excited about photography though. It's gonna be tight.
Flag football ended pretty well! It was actually a really exciting week for that! We were...1 and 5? I think. And then we had a playoff game last Tuesday and we won 18-0. SWEET. Semifinals were an hour later and we won that game too!!! 18-13. HECK YES. Finals were rough. The team we played was very rude and NOT fun AT ALL to play with. So it made it really difficult. I really wanted to take a few girls out. Seriously. We lost 13-0. SUCKED. BUT! At least we got second place. And I made some really awesome friends from being apart of this team :-) It was seriously a blast. If it were possible for me to love football more than I already do, I would say this experience did it.
Well, Chemistry is calling may name unfortunately. Until next time.

CrushCrushCrush
Gotta love some Paramore...
So I'm studying for an CPR test right now...pretty sure I'll pass. But I'm just kind of frustrated so I decided I'd take some time blog aka vent..
Do I look like a doormat? Do I have a sign posted somewhere on my body that I can't see that says, "hey walk all over me! I seriously couldn't care less!" Sometimes I feel like I bend over backwards for people, or just am nice to them in general, and they think it's okay to treat me however they want afterwards or just take advantage of my hospitality. Are you kidding? Wow.
I'm just kind of shocked with some of the behavior of people I know. It's give and take people! Or nothing at all. I seriously can't put up with this much longer. I'm running out of patience and my fuse is getting shorter and shorter by the minute. Sooner, rather than later, I'm gonna blow up. Gosh.

Ramalama Bang, Bang
Such a strange name for a song.
So. My Halloween costume is becoming more of a struggle than I thought it would be. My plan is to be Amelia Earhart--the infamous adventurer who was the epitome of independence. She's quite the inspiration so I figured it'd be fun to be her.
There's only one week left to get a costume and I only have half of it. My roommate Melanie and I went to DI in Idaho Falls last night and within 5 minutes of being there, she found me pants I could wear, we found a belt, and I have boots. Now, I need goggles, a scarf, and an aviator hat, OH and a bomber jacket. and a shirt. haha. (Does anyone have any of these things?) I'm not worried about the hat, goggles, or scarf because they have kits online. But a bomber jacket has been the hardest item to find so far because all the good ones are ohhh 2 grand... No big deal. I found some at DI but they were ginormous. Haha.
I found these pictures of her (or people posed by her) that gave me really good ideas, Hayden Panettiere being one...
Abby you'll like this one...this outfit is baller.

Anyway, I am so excited for Halloween. I MAY be going to Utah??? Trying to get a bunch of people to go with me. I've never spent Halloween in Utah before. Should be fun. I hope it works out.
So yeah, that's my costume right there! I'm so excited about it! :-) I love Halloween. I just wish I wasn't too old for trick-or-treating! Haha.

Hear You Me
Okay I'm gonna try this new thing... Usually when I post, I'm listening to music. So. From now on, I'm going to title my blog as the song I am listening to when I start it. Neat, yeah?
I got out of class REALLY early today (almost an hour and a half...its 3 hrs long) and I have a lot of time to kill... So I thought I'd post a blog.
My next class is Prep for Eternal Marriage and we're doing a presentation today on In-laws and conflicts between them and the married couple. I feel like this is kind of an important topic with me because I know I want to marry someone who gets along with my family. And since my family is so big, if someone doesn't like the other, that could be a problem. So doing this presentation has been kind of neat. When I researched for my section of the presentation, I found out that the top 5 common problems are as follows:
1. Annoying Habits
2. Criticism
3. Keeping In Touch
4. Privacy
5. Family Occasions
Pretty self-explanatory right? I thought so, too. I also found it interesting that this article was posted by "Psychology Today" and throughout the whole thing, the whole resolution was always "decide as a couple", "talk as a couple", "work together", "have fun", etc... It was neat, because in all the General Authority talks I researched for this, they said the same thing, too. Glad we're all on the same page here! Ha.
So I was going to go to the Boys Like Girls concert tonight in Blackfoot, Idaho. I'm really impressed with Southern Idaho's choice of bands for concerts. I mean really. Who knew Blackfoot would get Boys Like Girls and The Maine and Cobra Starship? I can't go unfortunately. Too much to do and all my money is going to other things (like tuition since grants/loans didn't work out) so its a bummer. But whatev. When I'm rollin the the benjamins I'll fly all over the world to go to concerts. No big deal.
HOW ABOUT THEM BRONCOS?????? O-M-G. I'm so so proud of them. 6-0?! It's amazing. I love it. And I love rubbing it in. Eddie Royal? Kyle Orton? I just want you guys to know, I love you two. I hope this continues! My weekends are so so happy partly due to the Broncos undefeated season so far! :-) OH and lets not forget about my fantasy football team. Tom Brady? You were my top scorer this weekend! Thank you. I love you. Larry Fitzgerald did amazing also. I freakin love football.
Since we're on sports, let's hit up baseball, too. I'm so sad my Red Sox are out. And the Cardinals too, let's be honest. Freakin Angels are completely responsible for the Red Sox being out. So, due to that fact, I'm rooting for the Yankees currently. Yes, I know. That's pretty much against the laws of baseball and sanity. But why would I root for a team that just killed my own? I know the Yankees killed the Red Sox too this season, but I do respect Jeter, and I kind of really want it to be the Yankees and Phillies. Is that even possible? I dunno. Whatever. I just don't want the Angels in the World Series.
Anyway, life is good. I love Rexburg. and I CANNOT wait for snowboarding season. The pass for the hidden gem here, Grand Targhee, is only 200 BONES THIS YEAR for students. Normally its like 750 for all adults. They finally got some brains. Early Christmas present? Ha, I'll take it. I'm seriously donating all the plasma I can so I can get this pass. Whatever it takes. I'm going to have a good season this year. Fact. Bring on the snow.

Brand New Eyes
Someday I hope my posts won't always be 7 months apart.
I bought the new Paramore album today. It's so bomb. I love Hayley Williams. If I ever was brave enough, I'd color my hair just like hers.
Okay here's something I'm super stoked about (Abby you'll love this)--
Over my 7 week break from school in Colorado, I visited an estate sale. This guy that lives down the road from my grandparents was put in a home because he has Alzheimer's and his family is all over so no one can come take care of him or anything. So his kids were selling everything. My grandparents came home with some sweet finds so I went over there myself. I bought a desk lamp for school (my melted), two old cigar boxes (very cool looking), a mirror, and two Polaroid cameras. One is just a regular snapshot one but the other is a Polaroid Land Camera, which came with all the flash bulbs and lenses and everything. All of that for 10 bucks. Heck yeah. I'm so stoked. Now all I need to do is buy film.
