People are just.... Awkward.

I had an experience the other day, and the more I think about it, the more I realize it happens a lot more than I know.
Have you ever walked, well never mind of course you have. So lets say you were walking, just down the street. Or on campus, whichever you prefer. Someone is walking towards you, and in my case lets say he is a man/guy/boy..... you get the point. He looks pretty cute, but you can't tell because he's still a little further away. As you near each other, you feel as though you have been staring him down, which you have. Then the thought comes into your mind, "Oh dear, he knows I've been checking him out!" Now your scenario doesn't have to match this exactly, I just want to explain my point of view, and what usually happens to me.
Now he can feel you've been looking at him, and soon the most awkward part of this story comes into play. -Should you make eye contact? -If so, how early? -If you make eye contact early enough, you could be staring at each other a lot longer than needed, and thus resulting in an awkward stare. -Or if you try to look too early also, and he doesn't look, then the awkward feeling settles in no matter what and you feel like a retard. -If you make eye contact too late, you could definitely miss your opportunity of any contact at all and just stare at him as he passes by. -If you decide not to make eye contact whatsoever, you come come off as rude, ya know? -You don't know if he's ever going to look or not! -But what if you don't want to make eye contact anyways? All that staring and attempting to find out a lot about this person has completely gone down the drain. Oh the complicated thoughts of a girls mind.....................
There are many more "scenarios" in which this awkward passing-by can occur, but either way I figured you're doomed. You never know how early or late to look at the other person, ever. I bet you have a 1 in 50 chances of an awkward passing NOT happening, just a wild guess. So, good luck to ya!

Sweden?... Yes Please!

TJ and Sherry

These people are basically amazing. Why, do you say?? Because they are helping me move to Sweden in May. TJ grew up there, and he's still working out the kinks.... There are 5 of us planning on moving:) Myself, Heather Holman, Kelsey Donaldson,  Michelle Boyer, and Alyssa Davidson! We're planning on living there for 3-8 months, crazy eh? TJ is talking with his parents about letting us stay with them, his siblings, or other church members. Can I tell you how excited I am?! A lot. I hope it'll all work out.... :)

I Will Follow You Into The Dark

I had the pleasure to attend BYU to visit my best friends (Autumn Rae Barnes and Haley Freakin' Haws) with Kelsey Anne Donaldson. We did pretty much everything.... From yoga (as seen in the picture) to a dollar movie (Knight and Day) and of course, plenty of dancing! I grew to love their roommates soooo much, they are wonderful :) They also got me addicted to Veronica Mars, which I probably won't watch again but I'll secretly be addicted anyways. I almost ran a 5K! I thought about it, and it almost came true. Does that count for running one?...........

Did I ever mention that I LOVE my friends??

Well I do have the best friends EVER..... not to be bragging or anything........

This morning I walked, jogged, and ran up/down a mountain.... ok I just went on a hike up to the wind caves in the canyon. Man was it gorgeous, I can't even explain. I wish we had taken a camera! I would highly recommend going if you haven't.

Last night I happened to go on a date in Centerville. Kinda random considering the fact that I live in Logan?? Yeah I thought so too. My best friend Heather lined me up on a blind date (who lives in Provo), so the date was already off to an awkward start. We didn't even know the date was IN Centerville, until we were on the road around 6pm. Her date didn't want to tell us where the date was at, because he feared we would bail.  So we got to Centerville around 7:30, and VERY surprised to see about 40 people in this house. As it turns out, we were going on a HUGE scavenger hunt. Heather's date's best friend's family (sorry if that sounds confusing, and trust me it was) has been doing this scavenger hunt for 20 plus years. I guess you could say I was extremely nervous, knowing only Heather that night. This is a big deal, it went all over Centerville, and Farmington!! There were a total of 8 clues altogether, and centered around Halloween. Mostly Dracula, and stuff like that. These clues were WAY hard to find. They were on really random things! Like Viewmont's tennis nets to an ice box at Maverick. We didn't end up winning, but still got free food after :)

....Goodbyes...............

Today my best friend entered the MTC. Nuff said. It was tough..... I cried a ton, but then I realized its all good :) He's in the right place, doing the right thing, at the right time. The people of Spain are sooooo lucky to have him!! We lived next to each other our freshman year of college, and grew really close over the summer. Dang I'm going to miss him.

Lately I've been thinking about changing my major. Right now I'm in art.... then I realized I like it a lot and I love my classes, I'm just not that passionate about art. I don't know what I would do in life, or if it would be a good career choice. I've talked with my parents about my life, and my mom mentioned working with people. The more I think about it, the more I like the sound of it. I loooove talking with people so much! Like today at wal-mart... I made friends with this 85 year old man and he gave me some candy. I had this cowboy hat on and he kept on talking about his horses up in Preston, man was he nice. I'm not sure what I could do, but it's just at the back of my mind at the moment :)

Random Tid-Bits...

These are my college friends, that are also in my ward. The other night my neighbors decided to buy a bunch of apples, invite a bunch of people over, and drizzle the apples in THICK caramel. Finally to add to the yummy mess... white chocolate. How delicious can it get?! Lets just say a lot of us got kinda sick that night! And then I found a huge chunk of caramel in my hair the next morning. So worth it :)

These are my best friends, and we like to jump. Especially when we try to make a four-person-piggy-back-ride!! This was during track our Senior year in high school, and we practiced for hourssss... and HOURS. Haley Freakin' Haws always requested to be on the bottom, so she was. Next was Autumn Rae Barnes, then myself and finally Heather Nicole Holman. I miss the social parts of track, and thats about it. Track was very unpredictable, and I was always afraid I would die because we ran sooo much.


I would like to tell a story about Haley Haws and I during a track meet one year. I believe we were at Wasatch High and it was insanely windy when I went to the bathroom with Haley, because girls always travel in packs.... right? We were washing our hands and a lady stopped us to talk about the weather! She asked us how the weather was in Morgan, and I must say we were shocked to find out she knew where we were from. We sat there dumbfounded for a few minutes until she realized we were super confused! Then she told us it was on our shirts....

First Blog Post!

For my first post I would like to start out with a picture, that pretty much describes myself and the people I hang out with! These are some of my high school friends, and I love all of them very much. The more I look at this picture, the funnier it gets!

This weekend is general conference so I am home from school for the weekend. Oh how I love general conference!! Listening to our dear prophet and his counselors is such an amazing experience.

I must admit I have no idea what I'm doing, but hey I guess I'll give blogging a try, eh?
