BeSt EvEr

If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring one food item with you, what would it be?

Mine would be apples and peanut butter. Yup, that’s right! BEST Snack EvEr!

(I know this is technically two things, but I’m the one making the rules here.)

I just thought you might want to know.

Fail

Um … I’m failing accounting! I have no idea what is going on and it is showing quite obviously in my quiz scores!

Why does math even exist? It shouldn’t be this hard people! I don’t want your T-chart or accounting journals and FYI credit and debit are not what you’re telling me they are. I’ve had lots of experience with both these cards and you can’t just go and change the definition on me just like that!

When I’m president of a company I’ll have to pay someone to organize these numbers for me! Don’t get me wrong, I know how to read the important numbers – NET INCOME – but other than that, someone will have to be there to explain all these other trivial liabilities, expenses, assets, stockholder equity, insurance policies etc.

So, since I’ll always have someone there to help me in the ‘real world’, can I get a little help on my quizzes?!?!?!

Here we go again...

I really don't know if i'm ready for round two...Everyone promised the second semester is easier than the first, but after a week of classes and 9 hours of homework today, i'm not so sure I should believe them.

So I think it's a time for a little study break to show off some of the fun things I did over the break when homework didn't rule my life. :)


I LOVE that Christmas is still so magical at my home ... and would you look at how fast he's opening that present - he's a professional. ;)


Spending time with my family is my favorite thing in the whole world. I was especially grateful that I was able to have so many extended family members and friends over this year! Don't Kori and I make adorable little gifts?


Oh yes, there was also more filming. Got to love that family bonding time. The SFP program is almost done and I couldn't be happier to see where it goes from here. If you don't know what i'm talking about, check this old post out and then check out THIS.


Ok, so I've thought about this sledding adventure about 5 times today. I so wish I was doing that instead of studying, but that's life! I'm just glad I got to have such great adventures while I was home!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!

Today is the birthday of a very very important young lady! I don't know if you are all aware, but this beautiful woman is 99 YEARS OLD TODAY! Can you believe it?

(Grandma Judy, Mom, Great Grandma Nora, Me)
How did she celebrate you may ask? By having a little open house so she could visit with her 100's, yes 100's, of decedents! I wasn't able to visit with Grandma Nora, so i'll have to visit her in a few weeks when i'm home from school. But I heard that she practiced her Jitter Bug and informed everyone at her party that if you didn't know how to do that dance back when her and my Grandpa Ernest were courting, then you couldn't go out dancing, which meant you had no chance at getting a cute boy/girl!

It's a shame that the dating world isn't the way my grandma remembers it.

Happy Birthday Grandma Nora, and here's to another spectacular year to come ... and keep dancing! :)

Why do I love school today? Because I was having a stressful, tiring, slightly frustrating day and then I went to class and we...

Built towers out of drinking straws!

I was the manager of my team, and we came in second. It was the most enjoyable therapeutic learning moment of my day.

Isn't Grad School Great?!

How 'bout them Utes?!

Yes, It's true that I go to a school down south, but when it's time to show your true color you better believe mine is RED!

Thanks to this beautiful lady I had 3rd row seats right between the 30 and 40 yard line in the MUSS. It was the most wonderful time I've had, while freezing my bum off, in ages!

I must admit that I was so excited to discuss the game in great detail on Monday morning, but I had a hard time finding anyone who would talk to me about it ... strange, I know.

I'm just SO HAPPY!

What the Blog...

Ok boys and girls, I know it’s been a while, but I’m BACK! Aren’t you excited? I sure am! At this moment I should be studying for yet another midterm… or editing a group paper…or updating the blog that I started for BYU Grantwell. But instead I’m taking some ‘me’ time and watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith while updating you on my life. :)

This is a picture of my desk, which is a pretty accurate representation of my life. Apparently I’ve never understood the true meaning of midterms, but oh am I learning. On the bright side, I’ve made it to midterms! I’m half way through my first semester of grad school, and I’m still LOVING it!

As it turns out there’s a lot more to this school thing than just school. I’m learning what it’s like to live with 3 girls instead of 6 boys (I think I prefer the boys); I’m learning what it’s like when you don’t live with your running buddy; that the question ‘what’s for dinner’ isn’t a question that only moms dread; that the quote “time fly’s whether you're having fun or not” is SO true; being sick sucks even more when you have to go out and buy yourself medicine and make your own chicken noodle soup; and that one true friend is worth a thousand acquaintances! Basically I’m taking a crash course on life! :)

What an adventure!

Speaking of which – I’ve never been happier to be a cougar than at this moment!
‘Catch a cougar’ has never been so fun.

Thanks for visiting girls! Come back soon!
