Everybody

We are falling down again tonight
In this world it's hard to get it right
Try to make your heart fit like a glove
What it needs is love, love, love
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Happy is the heart that still feels pain
Darkness drains and light will come again
Swing open up your chest and let it in
Just let the love, love, love be-gin
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh everybody know the love
Everybody hold the love
Everbody folds for love
Everybody feels the love
Everybody steels the love
Everybody heels with love
Just let the love, love, love be-gin
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(Just let the love, love, love be-gin)
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(Just let the love, love, love be-gin)
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everybody feels the love
Everybody steels to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everybody, Everybody wants to love
Everybody, Everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everybody, Everybody wants to love

2009 Pontiac G6?

That’s right.

 

Actual pictures to come when I can take them in the daylight, considering it is currently 12:20 and pitch black outside…

 

Exterior (Dark Gray is the actual color)

Interior….this picture is so you can see everything pretty well but……

The interior actually looks more like this: Black!

Love it too much?

Probably.

Well, you get the idea

Brian and Nichole

As many of you know, my favorite brother was married on April 12, 2011 to the lovely Nichole.

Here are a few pictures from the wedding.

Come to the reception!

It’s on the 30th at the Stake Center on Brentwood in Idaho falls.

Fit for Life

I’m taking a class this semester called Fit for Life. I took it to be healthier, obviously. I’ve always wanted to be better about exercising and eating healthy, but I’m horrible at disciplining myself. So, I enrolled in this course to force me to do it, because now it’s homework and in order to get an A I need to exercise daily and eat healthy. Good motivation, right?

I’m LOVING it so far. Just reading the first chapter of our book, I’ve learned so much and am doing all I can to be better. Such as getting up early. I’ve always been an early bird, but it’s far too easy for me to roll over in bed when my alarm goes off and fall asleep for another 20 minutes. I’m still up by 7:00 every morning, but for me, that’s late. Early to bed and early to rise is a phrase we have all been taught over and over again. But how to make that “early to rise” part easier?

A couple things I’ve noticed that help me:

First, stretch in the morning when you first wake up. It gets your blood flowing and helps wake you up.

Open the blinds; let the sunlight in!!!!! I was sly in picking my bedroom up here at college, and I chose the one with 3 windows rather than just one. Nope, I did not do this on accident. I specifically picked more sunlight, because I love natural light!!! I wake up now, and open the blinds to 2 of my windows, letting as much sunlight in as possible. Believe me, it does wake you up.

GET OUT OF BED! After you stretch and open those blinds, don’t get back into bed! Don’t sit in bed to read or check your phone or whatever else. Go downstairs (Or upstairs…whichever it is for you) and move around. Make yourself breakfast – something HEALTHY.

Like this morning, I made myself eggs and toast and ate a banana. And as I ate, I read. I read my scriptures. Then I read my book. You could read the newspaper or a magazine even. But get your mind moving!

I’m planning on beginning to exercise in the mornings as well – either go running or do yoga every morning.

It may not seem like it, but getting up early actually gives you more energy throughout the day. Trust me on this. We all know when we sleep in, we wake up feeling groggy and tired.

DON’T HIT THAT SNOOZE BUTTON!

GET UP!

EMBRACE THE MORNING!

But I love summer a lot.

And I can’t tell you just how excited I am for all of this.

It’s so close.

So So close

Spring Semester starts tomorrow……

and I think this break wasn’t long enough. I’m definitely ready for more vacation time.

But despite my wishes, that won’t be happening. And I have class tomorrow.

*sigh*

It’ll be good though….three months, another semester done, that much closer to my degree, cute boys in classes……

It’ll be good.

Test

So….this is a test….to see if my blog even works. If you are able to see my blog, please contact me via e-mail, phone, or facebook and let me know. Because I can’t.

Obsessed?

Lately, I’ve been watching movies. And every time I’ve decided I want to watch another movie, I sit and stare at my choices trying to decide what to watch next. Every time, I see Prince of Persia and feel like I’m in the mood to watch that. Why? 1) It’s a great movie! Yes, I’m obsessed with the movie. I could watch it over and over and over again! 2) Jake Gyllenhaal. Need I say more?

I just….mmmm….whenever I see him. He’s SOOO attractive. Yes. Super super attractive. I would LOVE to meet and marry him. Yes. Attractive.

Mmmmmmmmm

Just a few things….

First of all, California was GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! Pretty sure I’m going to move there one day. I was honestly stunned at how beautiful everything was! Once I get the pictures from off the camera, I will share the views. It was so nice to be out in the green grass and warm weather! I got sunburned, only there for 1 day, and I’m sunburned. But well worth it.

Brian and Nichole looked amazing and were so happy. It was a perfect day for a perfect wedding. Congrats Brother and now Sister! I love you both!

BUT California is expensive. I’m glad I wasn’t paying for anything…but just looking at the gas prices – almost a full dollar more than it is here! Which got me thinking yet again about my finances, and how I have no money, and then wondering about my future, and wondering what on Earth is going to happen in my future, and get so frustrated and upset about it all. Just listening to or watching the news, it’s everywhere, the economy is going down, the national debt is going up, the world is coming to an end in 2012 (ok, well that last part….yeah) but really! What is going to happen? Am I ever going to make enough money? Am I going to be able to afford a house? A car? Basic needs? Am I going to raise children in a horrible world? Am I going to even have a family?

Oh don’t even get me started on boys either right now. Just wondering, did any of you Rexburg boys listen to conference? I’m honestly beginning to feel like most of the male population up here only wants to try and get some action out of as many girls as possible, but never commit, not find a girlfriend or anything! Why? It. Is. Ridiculous.

I’m honestly beginning to believe there are no truly good guys left here in Rexburg. Grow up boys. Grow up! Quit messing around!

I’m sorry. It’s frustrating. And it’s hard not knowing your future…at all. Not even the next few months. High school was easy – I always knew what came next. But now? It’s hard.

My lesson to be learned I suppose.

Of course this would happen to me

Let me just tell you about my weekend.

It started off with ending my finals on Friday. Great right? It was wonderful. I’m so happy to be done.

But I guess finally letting go of all the stress and worry allowed for the inevitable sickness to hit.

I was MISERABLE. Friday night, climbed into bed, watched Elizabethtown on my laptop, and was DYING with a sore sore sore throat….almost impossible to swallow it was so sore. Massive aches and pains. A headache. Chills. I mean it was great.

I took 3 baths that night. And slept inbetween.

Woke up at what I thought was 8:20 the next morning in a massive panic that I was going to be late for work…again.

But soon realized it was only 6:20 and so proceeded to take another bath.

I slowly got ready for work, STILL feeling just as miserable, took some Dayquil, and was out the door to work.

Work. Was. Horrible. I should have called in sick, but I feel HORRIBLE calling in sick, so I didn’t. And I stuck it out.

Drove BACK to Rexburg to begin packing for my trip to Cali that we were leaving for at 6 am Sunday morning.

Ended up taking ANOTHER bath, and sleeping for 5 hours, woken only by my dad calling me wondering why I wasn’t home yet. A few phone calls back and forth, wondering how sick I was, wondering if I should still go to Cali, blah blah blah, and my brother called his roommate to come pick me up and take me to Community Care.

Fever of 103. Still chills, aches and pains, headache, even WORSE sore throat, CAN”T swallow, and tenderness in my neck on the OUTSIDE.

Strep Throat.

A shot of penicillin in  the butt (Which is STILL super sore, by the way) and I was sent back home. My parents drove up to Rexburg to help me pack for Cali and bring me home to take care of me.

I’ve been confined to the basement to keep everyone else from getting sick. Only 10 more hours before I’m no longer contagious. Postponed leaving for Cali. Planning on going tomorrow. Not sure yet if I’ll be able to go as well, we’ll see as the day goes on.

But as of right now, I still have a massive sore throat, still have aches and pains. No chills, but that’s probably because my bedroom is 80+ degrees right now.

I’ll keep you posted.

Best. Talk. Ever.

Men don’t understand women? Well here you go. Elder Richard G. Scott just told you.

 

God likes me and won't give up on me no matter what. He'll keep encouraging and praising me when he can, chastise when he must, but never stop hoping that I'll make something out of myself. He is so much more advanced than I am he couldn't be very impressed with my wisdom; it's my effort that really counts. I'm not apt to teach him anything he hasn't already known for a
long time. One of the nicest things is his tolerance of us.

My new goal today for the rest of my life:

 

SIMPLIFY

 

Today, after a super long night, sleeping in and missing the first hour of a hectic day at work, and a whole lot of drama, I came home and decided to take a shower.

For the first time in MONTHS I just let go. I turned on my pandora station and some soft, instrumental music came on. And I let everything slip from my mind.

I meditated. I was able to allow my mind to go COMPLETELY blank and just stand there, letting the warm water seep into my skin, eyes wide shut, focusing only on the music and my breathing.

 

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing; how great it felt. I have not felt so good in ages.

 

Now, ever since that moment, I’ve craved that. I was dead tired, so after I showered I took a nap, then came to my sister’s bridal shower.

And now, for the past, oh, hour or so, have been searching online for different yoga, meditation, deep breathing, health and wellness, fitness, etc. etc. blogs.

Still haven’t really found any I like a whole lot yet…so…

If you know of any GREAT blogs, classes, books, magazines, etc. etc.….let me know!

Last Night?

 

…………so confused.

Nice to get out of the apartment.

But not really sure what went down.

Good night for sure though.

 

 

In other news, I’m in a much better mood than I have been the past few days.

And…

yup.
