2010 Bucket List!

The brothers and me

SO I know that I am NOT dying yet and things, but I am going to live 2010 as if I were going to die. I mean I am turning 21 in March and I will be an ADULT like only 3 more years and I have to get my own insurance. So I am going to live it up! I know this sounds super stupid, but the Sims 3 has wishes that they wanna do, and it has inspired me!

THINGS I WANNA DO

1. I wanna see a circus. I have ALWAYS wanted to do this!
2. Go on a random Vegas trip with the girls. When I turn 21 I can get into more things. I do not drink but ya know!
3. Read Alice In Wonderland, Little Women, and more classics.
4. Go see Phantom of the opera on stage now that I won't be 6 like I was last time and not get scared.
5. Get fit. This is one I struggle with BUT starting JANUARY 1st 2010 I am going to the gym AT LEAST 3 times a week. I just wanna get more men and they are attracted to fitter girls, and I am aware of this.
6. Get an amazing job in Cedar that will be amazing for my last two years there.
7. Get an EC position in Alpha Phi in the fall.
8. Get kissed. I am unfortunately 20 and never been kissed. BUT I do not wanna be a lip whore so this goes along with number nine.
9. Get my first boyfriend... like even if it is like a week or whatever.
10. Have a movie moment. This means having something happen that would only happen in the movies. This is cheesy but whatever.
    

2009 has been an okay year for me. I should have done more with my life. That is why I want 2010 to be the most epic year ever. I know my "bucket list" only has ten things on it, but these are what I REALLY wanna get accomplished. There is always room for more things to do and they will be blogged about. I just know these ten things can be done with hardly any effort, I just need to dedicate my time and DO IT! That is the biggest thing. The previous blog post talked about Defying Gravity... this is me going to Defy Gravity! And like always... YOU CANNOT BRING ME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defy Gravity!

Christmas time is coming upon us and I am so grateful for my little babies! Not just the ones pictured but for all of them. Priest, Preston, Cooper, Lenox, and Brielle. I just love them all, they make me smile inside! Tonight I went to the mall with my mom and Ash, Lisa, Ell, Kolbie, Lenox and Priest and I tried on this super cute pea coat that was PINK! I did not end up getting it because it was just fun to try it on. So I hung my purse on the hook and like five minutes later when I was in the downstairs part of Dillards, I realized I had left it there. It had my wallet and my mom's wallet. Oh goodness I must have some pretty legit angels watching my back, it was still there where I left it, everything inside. Dear Adriana, please stop being so ridiculously forgetful. Love, Yourself!

I fancy my parents a lot, I think they are the greatest role models a girl could have. My parents raised me well! I love you guys! Just thought I would tell you!

WICKED! You loved the music, you loved it more when you saw it in London.... well I am reading it now! I love it so far. It is so not like the musical, but it is fun to be singing the songs to the musical while reading. I did the same thing when I read the Phantom of the Opera! Gotta love being a super nerd!
It made me realize that I want to DEFY GRAVITY (one of the songs, I think I have it on my blog playlist). Next semester I want to get a 4.0 GPA and I am pretty sure I can score that with the classes I am taking, not that they are easy but they are in my major. I want to get skinny so I look AWESOME! I also just want to do more with my life. SO I am going to defy gravity and do it! END OF STORY!
Well that is all for now! I think the next one will be about... hmmm WHO KNOWS!!!!
Peace. Love. Life.

Ode to the people who I see at chick-fil-a

Ha. Okay, so you know that website www.peopleofwalmart.com? I should make one called www.peopleofchickfila.com! I am serious! I could tell you stories just in a 9 1/2 hour shift! So I do not understand why you would want a piercing in your nose... you look like a bull! I do not understand! These two ladies came in with piercings and tattoos all over them! I REALLY do not get it! I mean lots of tattoos is... okay, piercings... okay... but both... not classy, you need them in moderation. I am sorry if you have them I am not pointing you out. Also its called a menu... just look at it I am sure you can find your way. BUT I do understand if you have a question like "What can I replace my fries with?" or "Can I replace my drink with a shake?". BUT "Can I have a chicken breakfast burrito?" at you know... 1pm... I am pretty sure the breakfast menu says "breakfast served till 10:30am". Now I am sorry if you are one of those people, I think it is just different behind the scenes. Its really opened my eyes so when I go to fast food I am not an idiotic customer haha. Also... speak MEDIUM! Please do not "YELL AT ME I CAN HEAR YOU" but do not talk like a mouse either. The speaker is right on my ear. That is all for now. Thank you for letting a 9 1/2 hours worth of frustration be said!

Things that I want, Things that I have, things that are things

So I miss Europe and I would love to go there again. I think when I am older and I have my career set, and all the debt from school is paid off, I will go back. I do not think I can predict the future but I know I can set goals for myself.
So we had roommate gift exchange on Sunday and I got the CUTEST purse and I just love it! Thank you KELLY CANNON!
On the other hand I only have one more final and I think that I can live. I am just ready to be home, with my family and making some money, however a job here in Cedar would be lovely. I do not know why the economy stinks, but it does. Well all is well. Till next time!

Finally!

Alpha Phi is my whole world. I am finally no longer the Chaplain in Alpha Phi but I am now the Junior rep MDC. I am sad that I am no longer the Chaplain but I am excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Finals are next week!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only two though it should be fine. I will rock them. Although I am so nervous I may not pass Chemistry cause it is devilishly hard. BUT whatever! I am so ready for this semester to be over!!!!!

Thanksgiving was good but I am ready to go home for Christmas and work at the Chicken for three weeks and make some money!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!

As of recent...

The past two weeks have been INSANE!!! Alpha Phi has consumed my life but lets be honest, without it I would totally hate Cedar City right now! It is the thread that keeps me attached!! We had I days that I planned as the Chaplain and I feel it went really well. I love all our new girls I feel they are true Alpha Phis! I love my little sister too she is amazing. This last weekend we had Italian Wedding and I went with Dana, Railee and Zach D. was our husband! It was so much fun! Now that the days are getting so dark soon, it means that elections for Alpha Phi are coming soon, which means I will no longer be the Chaplain of the amazing sorority, but I may or may not receive something new, but I really want something different to help me grow. But then after my last formal chapter as Chaplain I get to spend time with my family for Thanksgiving and work at Chick-fil-a for a couple of days. I have also applied for a couple of jobs here on campus and I just pray that they will come around. I really need one. Well that is all for now. There will be more later on!!

Halloween!

As this spooky night comes to an end and school gets tougher and I days coming around the corner, all I can say what a nice weekend. We went to the Howl last night and then today I worked on Idays and hung out with the girls. So much fun! Here are some pics! That is all for now!

Homecoming Weekend!

This weekend was homecoming which means that for Alpha Phi we get to have Alumnae "Tea" with out lovely Alumnae! Bri (My housemate and really good friend) put it on and it was just so much fun! It was good to see all the girls that have graduated and to meet some of our founding mothers. We were originally Phi Alpha Beta, and then some of these women pictured above, were there during the transition to Alpha Phi. Without them we would not be here today! Love them all so much!

This is a picture of the active members and the new girls that were at the tea. It was a lot of fun to have everyone there!

This is me and my little, I don't really do this to her but I thought it would be funny to do it. I am so happy for her and so excited to give her all her gifts!!



I love this picture cause we are all tall except little Bri!!


This is (from left to right, top to bottom) Kelly, Shannon, Me, Lisa, and Maygen at the Homecoming Pep Rally. SUU won which is nice cause last year we lost our homecoming game. We are undefeated on home turf, which is awesome. We usually do not do as well lol.

Well Next week is Idays and that means busy busy for me. I have two tests this week and I also have I days stuff to do. So I am going to get off Blogspot for now so that I can pick up my room, and work on Idays stuff so I have not as much to worry about! Until later!!

What Alpha Phi Means To Me!

So I haven't posted for a while but I just wanted to say that school is okay I am having a hard time really enjoying this semester but I am trying so hard! Alpha Phi is the reason I want to be here at SUU! If it weren't for Alpha Phi I would probably be in Salt Lake going to SLCC, which would not be bad at all, I would have a job, just no friends. I also got a little sister in Alpha Phi and that is good. I love my mission prep class, I miss my family like crazy and when I am sad I think of something funny Brielle or the boys have done and it makes me smile. My little's name is Kelly and she is so awesome I just love her to pieces. I hope that I am a good big for her and that she knows she can come to me for anything, and if I seem stressed, no worries, I am the Chaplain and Idays are soon so that is why! Peace Love and Prosperity!

Recent Life

These are pictures from Inductions. I was in charge of them and they went smoothly. I love being Chaplain. I hope some of the girls consider doing it and expanding more on what I have done, I have tried to expand on what amazing thing Leslie did, the Chaplain before me.

Oh what a GREAT weekend!!!!

So this weekend was a lot of fun!!! We had rush week for Alpha Phi and got about 25 new girls to add to our 30 AMAZING actives! So first of all On Thursday I had to plan Pref but that went SO SMOOTHLY!!
Then on Friday we had Bid Day party, went to the Sigma Chi Dance Party at their house, made an appearance at the lame institute dance. Okay so institute dances would NOT be so lame if every song wasn't Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, or the Jonas Brothers. More people would probably attend. Then we went and saw sorority row at 12am. Cedar City is pretty cool about having midnight movies whenever a new movie is out. This movie was supposed to be scary, it was all boobs and the F word... but if you ignore that then it was really good. I did not think that it was too scary for the fact that it was more suspenseful then anything. You would scream and hide (or at least I did) during the parts you were supposed to... then laugh about how stupid it was!!! All of the audience were Greeks or friends of Greeks, and two random couples that probably thought we were super annoying... I am sorry.
On Saturday our wonderful male representative (Bordeaux beau [our male representative of Alpha Phi) Andrew, made us breakfast, then I went to brunch at denny's with my roomie Haley and Ashley who is bomb.com :) and it was a good time. Then in the evening I went to cafe rio (oh yeah Cedar has one of THOSE now! We are getting more civilized) with a few people and then we went to the highlight of my whole weekend! ELDER COOK SPOKE TO US!!! He came to a fireside and every word he said was so needed. I got something out of it that other people did not. If you saw my notes, you would say "where in the world did that come from" well it was certainly needed for me personally.
Sunday I went to church, and my roommate Haley got a little sickly but its all good.
Minus the fact that the majority of my house is sick, NOT ME :), everything is going well! I hope that this week is just as awesome as this past week was! Until next time folks!!!

Labor Day Weekend!

This weekend was super fun! We went to Panguitch Utah at my Aunt's Cabin! It was so cute! We got to go fishing and to Bryce's on a hike... and ride the 4 wheeler... good times. Here are some pics!

Fire!!!!

Fire is a very mystical but beautiful thing. It makes the sun orange and the sunsets beautiful!!! But of course the on call evacuations of New Harmony residents is no bueno. But the sky has been smoky but lovely all at the same time. It is a bipolar situation. Ah Fire!

The First week of School, home sweet home.

Home sweet home, this is my new house! This is the Alpha Phi House, this is my new home. You Kind of got to see just my room from the previous pictures, but now you get a more in depth look into my life.

This is my secret closet of love. Whenever I get ready for a ceremony, I enter.

This is one of my roommates and sisters, Kelly. She is taking a picture with one of the many cats that invade this house. I do not know why they love our house so much, but they do.

These are the amazing letters our brother Fraternity Sigma Chi (Kye not Chee) gave us in the Spring. They are pretty much bomb.com and I love my backpack, its pretty neat!

Sometimes I like to hit my head when I go into the basement where my closet is and some of the other pics are. I had to clean it today so I felt it was safe to take pictures of. You just have to duck when you go down stairs.

This is the den, I wish the pic wasn't sideways but its really cute. You can study down there and log in hours from school and earn prizes!!!

This is the actual study room. My parents donated the desk on the left. We even have a bowl of suckers to suck on to keep your brain a running.

Now we are entering the kitchen area, its pretty tight, this is where I make easy mac for dinner, and cereal for breakfast.

This is the living room up a head and this is where we watch television and have movie nights. Bomb.

This is my shower. It may be small but it keeps me clean. Gotta love it. I share it with two other girls. More pics of them to come.

This is Kelly Cannon, she lives down the west side of the house. She was the only one home at the moment, but more pics to come.

This is my roomies side Haley. In the last post it was empty, but now our room is filled with love.

School is going okay so far. I am still waiting for my Chemistry book but I love my classes thus far. Ask me in a couple weeks when it gets more and more difficult. I found out the other day that I don't have chemistry labs till the 14 of September, it made me happy. I am taking Mission Prep and I love it, I love being more in tune with the spirit, its awesome. I am taking News Writing and so far so good. Another class is Chemistry and I like it Samha is funny. I was supposed to have Steffenson but he traded, but its cool cause Samha is my lab teacher too. I am taking Advanced Public Speaking and Nonverbal Communication on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Huett, he is a really cool professor, and sometimes pretty laid back. I just found out we don't need the assigned book in that class, too bad I bought it and its coming through in the mail. I will just re sell it, if I ever get it. I am mentoring two classes for Jill Wilks and I love it so much, but I do need another job. I am looking and sometimes I do not even know where to start. But the school year is coming along. First week is down... 12 more to go? I do not know. Until Next time...

The uneventful Last week and moving in!!

So this week was not very fun, I had mashed potatoes all the time and cannot to this day suck through a straw until Friday because of my wisdom teeth. It was a smooth process. But I am glad that it is over with. Well two days before I went back to school I decided it was a good idea to keep my chick-fil-a mug by my laptop, well Ashton accidentally knocked it over. Luckily Cameron is a genious and he figured out that it would never work, he may be able to save the hard drive, but I had to get a new one. It was in a deal at Best Buy where you got the lap top, a printer, and a case for 300 dollars, maybe 400, but its a pretty sweet deal. Its and Acer, here are some pics:

Home sweet Alpha Phi Home

So I am here at the Alpha Phi house it my own little corner of my shared room. It is still a work in progress because of course the roommie has to move in tomorrow (I guess today). It is going to be interesting seeing as I am new to the whole sharing a room thing, never had to do it growing up type of a thing. There may need to be some rearranging of course to accomidate for both of our needs for our stuff, but I am pretty sure this year is going to be good. I still have some straightening up to do, and some storage finding within the house. I hope that I can be a good roommate to the girls, but I am afraid that they are going to have pet peeves with me, and not love me like they did before. I am trying so hard to avoid conflict if possible, but if something goes wrong I do want to be able to address the issue. I have only been here since Friday and only me Kristy, Bri and Kalle (sometimes) are here at the moment. I truly just pray that every girl can get past their issues with the other girls and just know that we all need to get along in order to not want to kill each other. Well below is my friend Crystal from back at work in SLC and he is saying its time to say goodbye, so wish me luck, and love you all. until next time.
