Fellow Bloggers: I Need Your Help

I got a call Thursday night and it was my boss telling me that Snuggle Luv is closing. They are just going to focus on their online store. But they are closing on Monday! So I'll have 4 days to get a new job before I am completely jobless. Great. Of course that's not going to happen. I actually will miss working there a little bit. I saw my friends at the mall all the time, I got a nice employee discount, I had wonderful bosses and I worked with the wonderful Bronwen Biddulph. 

So I am asking for your help. I really really really need a job, as I know some of you do too. If you know a place that is hiring or you have connections, please let me know and I will do the same for you in return.

Thank you! You rock. Don't ever change. HAGS.

Rise and Shout the Cougars are Out!

Disclaimer: 

I am not bragging in any way, shape or form. I am simply blogging about recent occurrences.

BYU here I come! But which BYU, that is the question? I applied for both BYU-Idaho and BYU and I am happy to report that I was accepted to both for Fall! But now I have to make a decision and you know how I am about making decisions...

What am I feeling? Relieved. Accomplished. Everything I have done in High School has the same reasoning behind it: "It will look good on my college application". Everything I am and have been involved in has been for that reason and that reason only and those things I've become involved in have helped me learn how much I enjoy them. But my beginning purpose was for college applications. Ever since freshman year. And I am so glad that I don't have to do things for that reason anymore. But I don't regret it either. It's payed off.

Most of you already know that I am pretty set on going to BYU-I. Here are my reasons: 

-I already have three wonderful roommates named Sarah Jean, Erin Rebecca, and Victoria Deloras (You may know her as my BFF cousin).

-I don't know what I want to major in. I have. no. idea. So why not go where I actually want to go, take some generals and then maybe figure it out and transfer to Provo. I really can see myself transferring eventually.

-I should be able to get a very nice scholarship so I don't have to worry about money as much as I would at BYU, where I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get any inside help.

-I have a brother going to school there (but I also have a brother who will be going to BYU Provo, so either way- family party!)

-And most of all, I simply need to get away for awhile. Have the college experience, ya know? I love all of you and I have the best friends and the greatest family members, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? A little living alone, start a new beginning thing would be good.

BUT here's the deal. Listen up. Idaho is NOT FAR. Come visit. If any of you do think it is far, then you need to get out more (in a nice way). And I still live here. I will be back OFTEN. And I expect to keep in touch with all of you. It's not like I'm going all the way to the opposite side of the United States.

BYU is a great school and I love Utah. I love the Provo bubble because I've been on the outside of it before and I love living in this different environment. If I do go to BYU-I, I will miss going to mission farewells, Timpview alumni events, BYU basketball and football games, and all the wonderful events that happen around here.  

But I haven't made my complete decision yet. All this could change, but those are just my thoughts :) 

Oh Garrett Hedlund

So many of you have already been graced by this mans beautiful face if you've seen Tron or Country Strong.

 Erin, Sarah and I are going to see Tron again. That's right, again. Because we loved the movie? No no no. Simply because of Garrett Hedlund.

We are all going to marry Garrett...if it doesn't work our with Jimmer that is.

Acashmella Tourage Post

I like "tourage". It sounds like porridge.

McKann labored and put feathers in our hair.

Once of many attempts of Chicken.

We rode Tower of Terror and Sarah Jean blocked my face.

Dole Whip-a-roo

The world is a carousel of color.

Gumbo! Looks barfy, but it's yummy.

We had a "family" party.

Basically E Hornes has huge eyes.

New way to hold hands: Wancake (Waffle+Pancake)

Each of us fell asleep and Laura always fell asleep while doing stats.

We absolutely adored CATS.

Alex came on tour with us!

Rachel and I got Henna (that only lasted 2 freaking days)

We went clubbin'- Tron style

 

 

 

 

The End!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh. And.....TORIN!!!!!! You're beh-eh than ice cream. We love you. We really really, we really really, we really really do.

Tron Religion

Yesterday as an early birthday celebration for Sarah Jean, Rachel, McKann, Erin, Sarah and I went to see Tron.I have heard some negative things about this movie but I actually liked it! Why? Two words.Garrett Hedlund. He's only 26. It could happen. Anyway, there are many religious references/symbols in Tron. I'll list some examples. Just go with it.

-The girl describes when everything went dark and then she felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up and someone was above her. I'm thinkin' Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove.

-Sam, Flynn's son has to save the world and the people.

-Sam tries to explain the sun but he says it is indescribable. The son's brightness and glory defies all description.

-And the biggest similarity is the whole idea of the world of Tron. Flynn, the creator of the Tron world, made someone in his own image.
-At the end they walk up these steps, into the light. AKA: Heaven.

And those are just a few examples.

Let's Get Ready To Rumble...To Disneyland

Tomorrow A Cappels (Go abbreviations) leaves for Disneyland!

So I'm going to go pack my "small" suitcase, my ghetto teen magazines filled with horoscopes, crush quizzes and J Biebs posters and sit on a bus for too many hours while I watched "rated G" movies and read Heart of Darkness (that was for you Mr. D). So E Hornes, Mck Hans, R Petes, S Jens, L Bars, and paper A Ags (Egg-s) are off to see the wizard tomorrow! I'll bring you fellow bloggers back a souvenir. Aka: Pictures.

Count On Me

Count On Me by Bruno Mars.

I love this song, I do.

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

Jimmer, Will You Marry Me?

I will get down on my hands and knees and beg like a little dog.

I will. Just kidding. I'm not a creep.

P.S. Don't forget: I'm naming my firstborn after you.

Then I'm naming Jimmer's sister Jemma. So it's kinda like Jimmer in a British accent...kinda. But it won't be creepy, cause we'll be married.

Ode to Cupcake Wars

Cupcake Wars completes me. I'm a bit obsessed and it's a bit unhealthy.

If I'm having a sucky week what keeps me motivated? CUPCAKE WARS!

When I see a dead deer what drys my lachrymal gland? Cupcake Wars! 

When all hope is lost and the world is infested with the black plague what is my immunity? Cupcake Wars! And when I want a cupcake what suffices my foaming mouth? Not Cupcake Wars. It makes me crave a cupcake for an entire week! And it makes me have a strong desire to work at The Cocoa Bean. I shouldn't be so attached. I shouldn't get into the show as much as I do. I shouldn't be on the edge of my seat when they have to make 1,000 cupcakes and an amazing cupcake display in 2 hours! But...what can I say? Some of you are addicted to Glee, Bones, Vampire Diaries, fluffy unicorns, candy, older men and vintage clothes. I am addicted to Cupcake Wars.
