Last Night I went to Jacob and Rebekah's house for FHE. AND...JOSHUA was in town! We had a yummy spaghetti dinner, then Rebekah made some cookies and Jacob shared an article from the ensign this month. It was really wonderful. It was actually the hometeaching message for the month by Elder Uchtdorf about looking for the good in all people and situations in life. I loved it. It is so applicable to all of us and that principle has already really blessed me in my life a lot. Life truly becomes so much more enjoyable when we can go about each day seeing the good things, not the bad in each other and in situations we are confronted with. The gospel of Jesus Christ is so true. It makes me so happy :)
**Jared and I went over to his cousin Andrew's house and helped them paint some things for their new home. It was good, and fun, but I got home so late and I am getting sick. Oh boy.....
I have adopted a life motto. We have no excuse to not be happy. Despite how hard or ridiculous it seems sometimes, it can always be worse. Happiness is simple! It's all around us! The people we know, the knowledge we have, the earth is full of beautiful creations that were made with our happiness in mind. :) It makes me happy.

Stop signs.... :)
So, last Wednesday, March 16 to be exact, I picked Jared up from school at 3 and I went and enjoyed the afternoon with his little siblings, Grandma Ray, Jared's Aunt Jenise, and his Mother Christine. It was very fun. We helped make 11 pans of lasagna that Christine was freezing for Jared's brothers wedding in April. Then Leah, Nathan, Tanner (some of Jared's little siblings) and I went outside and played some basketball for a while. It was so fun just being there and playing. But the day doesn't end anytime soon.... it gets so much better!
Ha. This is adorable. Jared and I drove up Provo Canyon the other day and we walked the trail to bridal veil falls, which for those of you who don't know, is a waterfall in the canyon. It really is beautiful. Anyway, it was an overcast day. Absolutely gorgeous outside. Not too cold at all, so we decided to do it and we went and enjoyed the waterfall and just kinda stood in a hug for a little bit (and he might have added a kiss here and there) when it started to rain pretty hard on us. HA... so I can't run on my knee so we just kinda walked along! It was great. So... we're walking and we come to a stop sign which obviously is meant for people in cars but I grabbed his arm to kinda stop him and looked at him and said, "We're supposed to stop here." Then I reached up and kissed him. (I know I'm pretty romantic huh? ;))
Anyway, I put my arms around him and said, "I can't see Jared so you'll have to look both ways and let me know when the coast is clear." His very sly reply was as follows, "Oh it's very busy. There are lots of cars coming both ways." ha, and OF COURSE there are NO cars out at all! ha.... so he kisses me again and eventually we continue. You know how strict those officers are now a days. We had to be sure we made a complete stop. ;)
On our way home, he kissed me at every stop sign we came to. ha ha.... and he switched up the route to hit as many as he could. It was so great. We just had fun.
***We also talked a little and I am definitely still going up to Idaho for school in April.

And now...... Jared and I. :)
Oh.... here he is. He's incredibly good looking and handsome and adorable and wonderful and just down right cute huh? ;) May I just say that last night we just had a lot of fun and I fell a little more in love with him. He's wonderful.
I love this boy. He's so great.
This is our extraordinary snowman. Isn't it excellent!? We named him Leonard. Lenny for short.
Ok, one night Jared and I went to a BYU basketball game and just for this ONE game, to support breast cancer, the team wore BRIGHT PINK nike basketball shoes. It was so AWESOME! Yeah, that's how ridiculously spectacular BYU is. We had fun. It was awesome to be there!

Roommates, Utah fun.
Alright ya'll, here are some pictures of my apartment, our awesome stadium seating we arranged, and my roommates and I.
Yes, here's our great stadium seating set up. Kinda just a fun change.
We made a 3 teared cake with vanilla and chocolate that was supposed to be a checkerboard cake but turned out more like, hmm..... a moo cow cake. still fun though.
My roommates made me go out to the hot tub with them.... it took a lot, but I finally consented to going.

PATIENCE!
YA'LL! Goodness gracious have some patience with me! I will get a picture of Jared and I and put it on here I PROMISE! ha, I love you all.
SO....today I went out and stood on the side of the street in the dog costume. It was my first day. I will be honest, and I am a little embarrassed to admit that I really had a hard time getting out there. I had to humble myself a lot ha. But, besides my face getting real itchy and sticky and sweaty from the dog head and the full body suit, it was good. A little girl took a picture with me and gave me a hug. ha. I connected with a lot of children... we'll say that ha.
ANYWAY..... life is good.

catching up..... I even posted some PICS!
Sarah and Catie came to visit! It was so great!
Sorry it's been a while... I got busy working and what not. I got the job at golds gym, 15 hrs a week, and I have also still been doing the janitor work, the poop posse (picking up dog poop), some secretarial work for joseph and mindy petramalo, and I just got a big dog costume yesterday that I get to wear on the side of the road with a sign and wave. Then I got offered the job at michaels but they wanted me to work sundays, so I turned it down and golds gym was a blessing. SO... life is crazy but good.
Jared confuses me, and is adorable and makes me happy all at the same time. He doesn't know what to do I don't think... but neither do I. I am still thinking about a mission because Jared has informed me that he doesn't want to date anyone but me, but that he has no plans of getting married anytime soon. SO... awesome Jared... what the heck am I supposed to do about that?! SO CONFUSED! AND...my parents think it'd be silly to go to byui because they don't have the program I want to pursue so they think that it'd be a waste of my time and money. So basically, I have a lot of big decisions to make, and they are hard to make and I really just don't know where I'll be in 6 months, or in a year, or whenever. but... I was comforted this week by President Hinckley's advice,
"Things will work out. Keep trying. Be believing. Be happy. Don't be discouraged. Things will work out."
-Gordon B. Hinckley
How true it is. Things always work out if we are living in accordance with the Lord's commandments and standards. Anyway... here are some fun pictures from this last week when sarah and catie were here!
AH, yes. the beautiful utah snow.
Ha! SO... I discovered these super yummy cookies that they sell at Maverick and I took these two lovely things there and blindfolded them and made them take a bite and now they'll never be the same because the cookie was so good! Chocolate chip, coconut, macadamia nut. uh, YUM!
This was the snow man that Jared, Catie, Sarah and I built. We named him Leonard. Lenny for short. It was a double date. Jared and I and Catie and Sarah. Very fun.
