Wish I...could be

So I've been watching my nieces for Carl and Desi. Haylee has been into princesses in a big way and we watch Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid and Cinderella II pretty much every day. It's actually pretty cute because she loves the songs and knows every word to once upon a dream and always sings Ariel's song (I'm talking about the one where she doesn't say words and sings to Ursula, if you know what I'm talking about then cool. If not...oh well). Carlee, of course, worshipping her sister in every way, tries to copy the tune and it actually sounds really good for a 16 month-old!

Tonight we were watching The Little Mermaid (again) and Haylee seemed even more fascinated by the movie than usual. When Ariel was singing Part of Your World, Haylee was right there, singing along and doing the same movements as Ariel. She even did the part where Ariel whispers "wish i could be". I had to hold back a laugh because it was so stinking cute! And I think she might also be more infatuated by Prince Eric's charm than the little mermaid herself! Every 10 seconds I heard "where's Eric? where did Eric go?". So funny.

i heart musicals.

They are my favorite.

Phantom of the Opera

of course 'The Wizard of Oz'

'Grease'

'White Christmas' (I can't help myself)

love love love 'Singing in the Rain'!

i know i'm a nerd.

the hills are alive with 'The Sound of Music'

a time for change

The deed is done. I am now a blonde.

All I Want For Christmas...

I always have such a hard time figuring out what I want for Christmas and my family gets so irritated with me. I've been thinking about what I want this year, and even though I had a really hard time with it, I am putting my list on here.

Movies...I love them and will not reject any given to me.



Socks... I'm a real big fan. And I have like four pairs left.

I really am a huge nerd and love, love, love books. I don't own many, but I would like to.

I can't help myself...red high top converse. Aren't they beautiful?


And lastly...brightly colored nail polish to enhance my "fun side".

Three of my roommates and I decided not to go to family home evening one Monday night because of unnecessary drama and the fact that everyone likes everyone and we are the only ones that do not find our FHE brothers attractive. (And the activity was karaoke, which, those who know me well, I don't go for.) So we skipped and went to the local HORKley's to get humongous soda cups. When we got home we made massive amounts of cookie dough and put them in bowls (as pictured below).

So I ended up getting a massive stomach ache and a new apreciation for tums.

Sherwood Concert!

A few weeks ago, I was walking down main street with my awesome Canadian roommate Tayler, when I looked into a window and saw that one of my favorite bands called Sherwood was playing there! I was so excited and tickets were only $10. Tayler never heard of them but I convinced her to go with me anyway. Actually about 6 or 7 of us went together. We got there and 2 really amazing bands played (Barcelona and The Pink Spiders). I totally touched the lead singer of the Pink Spider's guitar. Yeah, we were that close! Then...out came Sherwood! Oh, it was so mind-blowing that they were right there! We had so much fun. We got to meet all the bands and Nate Henry (lead singer of Sherwood) signed the back of my cell phone! Eeee!

Barcelona!

The pink spiders (and other random people)

Oh! And after the concert we went to Tacobell (cause we were starving!) and we were blasting Sherwood music. We pulled up behind a car at the drive-thru and it was Sherwood! My friends got out and looked at the menu thing but really just stared at them. I got out too. They probably thought I was insane because I just stood there stunned with such a stupid expression on my face. But that was absolutely epic. Such an amazing night and I will never forget it!

I love to see the temple!

So my two of my roommates and I took a walk one sabbath day. It was quite a walk, considering we decided to walk all the way around campus instead of just cutting through. But it was still enjoyable. We also had to walk uphill for quite a while, but it was worth it as we came up... and there it was! The temples have yet to make me not catch my breath every time I see them. We were seriously there for about an hour, taking hundreds of pictures (me with my phone :( because i have no camera). we were also fortunate to watch the sunset in the background. The effect was, as you can imagine, breathtaking. We decided to (grudgingly) get back home before it got too dark and got honked at three (count 'em three) times by boys in hot cars. Overall, it was an great day.
