My Dear Mother,

I love you very much, and I'm so grateful to have you in my life.
I know I've blogged about you before, but I think its time to do it again.
Everyone has trials in their life, and I'm sorry cancer is the one you had to deal with.
Having cancer wasn't part of your plan, or at least I hope it wasn't.
I hated coming home from school and walking strait up to your room to see if you were ok, and to see you lying almost lifeless on the bed... was hard to watch.
I am very glad that part of our life is over now, and we can move on stronger than we were before.
Do you still have that one eyelash, by the way?
My mom has really short eyelashes. She lost most of them due to chemotherapy BUT one. And now it's longer than the rest!
One thing I did learn while you were sick was the act of selflessness, and service.
We had free food brought to our house for almost a year! Can't beat that.
People were serving us constantly, and it really has made an impression on my mind to do better, and try to be a better person.
I know you're having a hard time with your teaching job and your calling in church, but you can do it!!
The school year is almost over.... close I believe.

Just know that I love you forever and always :)

i Stepped in A bowl of Pudding

I may or may not have worn a bright pink gross thing roller skating.

AND.... I don't know what I'm doing here.
This is such a grosss picture, I have no idea why on earth I'm posting it.
I had a blast, but now that I look at it... why didn't anyone tell me how gross I looked?!

Well. Enough about that.
Why am I not asleep?
Why is my head pounding?
Why did I get proposed to 3 times this week?
Why was this man who proposed to me 92 years old?
AND why was this at Golden Corral??
I keep telling him I'd think about it.
Then he told me he could offer me a lot of money... hummm...

This is my roommate Brittani (Berrrrrrnice Dahling) and myself.
We made a goal to go on 2 or 3 hikes a week before school ends!
We only made two this week due to the weather.
Snow=LAME
Don't get me wrong, I love Logan weather where it is warm 1.5 months out of the  9 months during the school year.
HINT: there may or may not have been sarcasm in my voice.

YAY for good weather!! And hikes.

April. May. June. July. School?

Here is a few updates on my current life:
A) My dad is really sick at the moment with pneumonia. Please include him in your prayers.
1) Not being in school this past semester has made me miss it. I miss learning now that I have a goal in mind!
2) If you didn't know, I'm planning on being getting a graduates degree in Art Therapy.
3) In other words: I'm thinking about helping out kids (maybe adults) through art! Possibly at Primary Children's, or through LDS family services. I haven't looked into it all quite yet, its all still new to me! I figure I love working with people and I love art, so why not? And it feels good :)
4) Brad gets off his plane at 10:30 a to the m tomorrow (SUNDAY!!)
5) General Conference. Nuff said.
6) I have recently decided I am definitely a night person. I have to stay up late every night, no matter what. But the weird thing is I can wake up in the morning easily. So I guess you can say I don't get a lot of sleep...
7) I love my coworkers at Golden Corral. Sure all the senior citizens that come in are hilarious and they go on and on about their dead cats... I love them, but my coworkers are awesome.
8) Favorite song of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmLoppYXkoM
9) Recently I've been going through an "I hate makeup month". I guess I haven't been wearing a lot lately because 4 people noticed tonight at work I was wearing some! My manager jumped when he saw me and thats the first thing he said. Weird.
10) I'm really not a gold-jewelry-wearing person. Not one bit.
11) Working. Working. Working. So flippin much. Sweden is going to be soooo worth it!!
12) Josh Browning: this blog post is for you.
13) On Thursday, April 14th at approximately 12:30 I will be getting the final crown on my darn tooth! Bout time to be done with this mess if I must say so myself.
14) Megamind and Tangled= my two favorite movies at the moment.
15) Alma 60:20-23 :)

Taylor Swift U R Mi Heero

First of all I would like to start off dedicating this blog post to Kelsey Donaldson.
For those of you who don't know her:
-She is definitely one of a kind. -She has been my best friend for three years, and we've known each other since kindergarten. -We are almost completely opposite in every way.

Anyways she has a man downstairs. Not just any man, a REAL one. Like, a potential man! Its weird seeing her happy all the time, I'm not gonna lie. I can tell if she's comfortable around him when she teases me to no end, and doesn't feel bad about it. For heavens sake she made soup for him tonight! It stunk up our apartment worse than the last time she made fish...
Mad and Kamille, do you remember when she made fish last year? It was bad, I don't know how you could forget it.
Well Colby (this so call man downstairs just in case you forgot) is an awesome guy. He treats Kelsey with so much respect and has a love for the gospel which I admire.
Lets just say Kelsey found a keeper for sure!

 In the words of Forest Gump: That's all I have to say about that.

Tight Pants / Body Rolls

Thank you Madeline Newhouse :)

My life is now complete. 

Fitness and Health is coming my way! Hopefully.

Yes. You might have guessed it, but I am going on a diet! 

WHY?? Must you ask.

"Because, I would really love to stay healthy!" Is my reply.

You see, I definitely have a sweet tooth. And It is pretty dang bad if I must say so myself.

So I decided to do something about it!

I'm not really in it to lose weight, more to change my eating habits and stay healthy.

I had already made up a contract with a friend up at school to work out 4 days a week, but I still wasn't eating the greatest.

I gave my dear father a little ring ring and we came up with a plan, and I sure hope it works!

We're doing Body For Life!

Its a twelve week program where I eat 6 small meals a day, and work out 6 days a week.

There is a list of food to eat, which is my fuel for the day.

Since I work so much, its slightly hard to fit in all 6 but I'm still working on it. 

Ok its really hard for me to fit in those 6 meals haha.

The nicest part is going to the gym! I do cardio every other day, and lift the other 3. 

Not to mention the workouts are usually 30-45 minutes (which is short to me I suppose) :)

The easiest part for me is going to the gym, I just need to work on my darn eating habits.

If I feel like it I might post the before and after pictures... hopefully there is a change ha!

Legitimate Taste Tester

I am officially my younger sisters food tester! And let me tell ya, she ain't that bad at cooking. Tonight she made a different kind of brownies, and dang were they fantastic!!

Why is it some food makes me crave milk sooo bad?........

I had a reeeeally weird dream last night. I wish I could remember it, I'm terribly sorry I can't.

Today my aunt and uncle came home from their mission! It was wonderful to see them.
I saw them rarely as it was, it almost wasn't weird seeing them.

I'm so impressed that they decided to serve a mission together, I am planning on it with my future husband!

It won't be for quite a while, but I'm looking forward to it :)

Speaking of missions...

Today was my good friend Micquellyn  Johansen's farewell.

This picture is of her and her brother. She is a year older than me, and him a year yonger.

They got their calls on the same day, and are going to the same country.

Holy cow she did such an amazing job on her talk!!!

Watch out Guatemala, you not only have one wonderful missionary coming your way, but two!!

She has such a deep love for our Savior and is so willing to serve Him, she is definitely my inspiration.

Today she talked about characteristics of our savior and God, and it hit me really strong.

He really does love each and every single one of us so much, it amazes me.

I have treasured talking with Micquellyn these past few months, I deeply regret I didn't take the time to know her sooner.

Just talking with her via facebook, she's helped me out a lot guy-wise and more.

She is such a caring, loving, and selfless person!

Her future husband is darn lucky, I'm not gonna lie.

Love ya Micquellyn! See ya in 1.5.

A Fine Frenzy "Blow Away" (Acoustic)

One of my favorite songs for sure! Thank you Berrrrnice :)

This is my favorite version, not the original. For Christmas my roommate Brittani (a.k.a. Berrrrnice) gave us all CD's with a butt load of good music on it! And this acoustic version was on it, and I haven't stopped listening to it since!

PS- one of my pet peeves lately, which is really random: when the toilet paper end is on the back of the roll, and it is harder to grab. It should definitely be on top, just so ya know.

Fidelity

LOVE is in the air.
Or is it?
For some, or for most??


Just so you know, I need to stop trying to catch my razor when it falls in the shower.
It just doesn't end great.
Well I've had nothing much to say the past week, as you can probably tell.
Brad has about 6 more weeks left of the mish, and I'm getting extremely nervous. He wants to come home with no ties or commitments, and that makes me the most nervous! Because while he's been serving, I've been home watching him learn and grow so much, and I've grown to love and respect him even more! Soooo I guess you can say I'll just be playing it all by ear, which is nothing new. Missions are such an awesome thing, I look up to everyone that has served an honest and faithful mission. Oh I have a question, and I'm just thinking out loud but feel free to answer with your opinion! If a guy has been saying, "Love you Mollie Rose", since January 8th, he means it right?? But two or three months ago he told you he didn't want any commitments when he was to return home.... what on earth is going through his head?? Just answer this simple question and my life will be complete.
The plan for Sweden is still in action! I'm just workin my life away. Thats why nothing is new! I currently have two jobs, and looking for a third. The reason to that madness is because they are both evening part-time jobs! And I need a morning job if I want to pay for Sweden... And school after that....
Oh, I went to a dance party last night! Yeah it was a blast!! I've decided dances bring out a lot in people. I mean, Halloween is now an excuse for girls to dress like a skank, right? NO IT SHOULD NOT BE. I left the Mardi Gras regretting nothing, and I had a ton of fun. There were a bunch of people I knew. A couple examples : Old roommates that I absolutely love (yes Kamille, this post goes out to you again), art major friends (we should be a family, just so you know)... yeah you get the idea. 

This is me and my father at a jazz game! Love him :)
All in all, life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Summer... Any time now...

Recent Thoughts In The Back Of My Mind:
-I'm anxious to feel warm, for more than a few minutes.

-Should I chop my hair?
-Here's a funny thought I swiped from a facebook friend:
Man driving down road.
Woman driving up same road.
They pass each other.
Woman yells out window, PIG!
Man yells out window, DUMB BLOND!
Man rounds next curve.
Man crashes into a HUGE PIG in middle of road and dies.
Thought of the day: If only men would just listen.
