happy january 1!

Happy New Year!

Okay.

First of all, What the 2009?!?

Where did 2008 go so quickly!

I'm excited, however, for the new year to begin. I love making goals (though I don't always follow through with them).

but THIS year it's going to be different...

Here is one of my new 2009 goals:

1. I want to learn Spanish.

Sure, I've taken spanish classes all throughout highschool, and stood in line at Disneyland to hear the spanish translation of "remain seated please" a gazillion times, but I want to REALLY learn. My dad speaks it, so maybe he'll help me out in this goal?


I hope this year is full of adventures, and I hope it's even better than the last (it was a great year, ps! Thanks 2008!!)

Funny Story

Okay. So I heard a funny story today.. thought I'd share :)

This girl went to the temple with her fiance a little while ago, and upon entering hands the temple worker her temple recommend.
He takes it to make sure she was legit, and looks at the recommend funny. then looks at this girl really funny. then looks back at the recommend... then hands it back to her with a shocked and confused look on her face... the girl looks down at (what she thought was) her temple recommend, and notices that it is indeed her perscription for BIRTH CONTROL. (she was getting married soon..just clarifying)
how funny is that! That poor temple worker... hahah! I thought that was pretty funny...

Do you have any embarassing stories to share? :)

Really?..

I went up to Salt Lake to visit one of my friends, and while i was up there we decided it would be fun to run to get some fabric to sew some purses.. So we went to the closest fabric store, Joanna's, and picked out our darling paisley covered material, then Hali decided it'd be a good idea to get an extention cord for her sewing machine so we could sew on a table. Good thinking, right? So we thought.. hey maybe Joanna's has some--lets find a worker and ask?.. okay.

We wandered the store for a few moments before finding a lady wearing the Joanna's smock and a nametag, so then Hali politely asked, "Excuse me, may I ask you something?"

*The following is not made up. It really did happen*

The lady, I kid you not, PLUGS her ears and says "Nuh Uh!.. No.. NO. mm mm..." (just went on and on.. ) ...and We, thinking she was joking,(because who does that in real life?) just asked if they had any extention cords.. She turns, looks us in the face, holds up her finger and is like "NO. I will not answer any of your questions, I am on my break!" (she was pretty peeved that we would ask her to help her while she was [looking like she was working] on her "break"..

I thought it was pretty hilarious that there are really people like that in the world. I felt bad, though, because Hali was pretty distraught over it. Sad day.

Is it bad that I kind of enjoy awkward encounters with people? They make me smile a little.

I'm Dying

To go back to New York City! It's just so pretty. I loved it when I was there for 2 beautiful days in July '08.

5th Avenue

Broadway

Upper WestSide

the Subway

Central Park

hott abercrombie and fitch models...

I suppose I'll just have to settle for watching Enchanted, Little Manhattan, and You've Got Mail again and pretend I'm there... Until we meet again NYC... I'll be seeing you! (Hopefully soon!)

10 Days...

I always seem to have a countdown of some sort...

Anyway

Celine Dion concert on the 21st!

This is Celine Dion we're talking about here! Come on people!

And the Bomb and I are going to see Twilight at midnight. We're dressing up. As Usual. My cropped pixie will come in handy when I become Alice Cullen for the evening.

*Pictures and an update to come*

New at this..

I've never had a blog before! This is a new experience for me.. Haha, it's kinda fun though I must admit! Can I just say how excited I am that I'm going on the church history tour in exactly 19 days! (I don't count today or the day we leave, of course!) But I'm SO excited, I've never been back east!! Wahoo! :)
