Dreaming of Chocolate

or NOT dreaming of Chocolate!!

I've been laying in bed for over two hours and can't fall asleep.  I didn't know the caffine in Chocolate could have such an effect on me.  Could I go run a marathon right now??....MAYBE....or maybe not.  I don't know.
Did I really have that much?  

(I remember this same problem being addressed by my cousin.  AND I know we're not allowed to give Grandma chocolate late at night or she'll be up all night reading the dictionary.  It must run in the family.)

Age is just a number BABY

I was so excited to turn 21 (it may or may not be for the 4th time).  BUT I figure...I'm going to do it right this time.   
Here's to another great year!

I went to lunch with all my high school friends.  Aren't they the best!!  And this is what they wore in celebration (j/k jonny knoble).


My Grandma took me to get a pedicure.  She insisted that I get a little something special on my toes.  It turned out to be a lot bigger than the little snowflake I was imagining. But I love it none the less.


Dinner with the fam! Still wearing my awesome flip flops.




My roommates made me this super cute cake.  Yes, with 21 written all along the sides.





Played a little Speed.  This kid (Alex--a special interest of my roommate Andrea--haha) is incredible at Speed people.  Don't ever place bets on the game.  Just warning you.  I thought I was good....


Check out this AMAZING cake!  Jamie is the baker. She is amazing!  She had the cutest metaphor to go with it.  I hope she reads this and will leave a comment with her metaphor. please.  I can't believe she made this for me!
 

LOVE YOU JAMES! 
(The pajamas??? Well, they'll be exlained later.  And the reason for Jamie's sad face--let's just say...6 layered cakes don't travel extremely well.  But don't worry...it was still EPIC!)


And check out this super cute picture I got.  Probably my favorite thing ever. My 11 day old nephew Jack Jack.  SO CUTE!
 
Happy Birthday Autie Jen!

Holy Freak!

I'm just going to come out and say it.  It's time you all know.  I'm a Provo All-Star!!  I can't believe this is my 6th year down here.  And I can't believe I just admitted that.  I'm pretty sure I know this place forward and back.  Not to mention that I've lived with 24 different people.  Can you believe that. 24!  Let me introduce them...

Lacy--picture this: nothing but the Christmas lights on and Lacy playing Christmas tunes on her harp (ahh!).  Always had a Dr. Pepper in hand (and always a different boy. haha).
Lyndsey--I've seen her pee her pants more than any other person on this planet.  Has anyone seen her Hairspray sweatshirt?? Pretty sure she wore it every day. p.s. we spied on her and her boyfriend.
Marielle--For two years we shared a bunk-bed and my kitchen has never been as clean since.  I miss her face.  We did everything together.  Drop it like it's hot!
Suzanne--Oh Suz!!  She never wanted us to call her that but I'm pretty sure she learned to love it.  I hope we didn't corrupt her too much.  NO.....we helped her.
Lisa--She says the funniest things in her sleep.  Oh man!!  And I'll never forget the toquito wars we had with her. I'm so glad I got to live with her.
Lindsey--Longest standing roommate.  We can't get enough of each other.  We had awesome cereal parties. Thus, she wins the award for best roommate ever!  Love you.
Kyla--Her and her Hawaiin boyfriend really took care of us while we were in Hawaii.  I really do owe them a huge thank you!
Girl--can't remember her name.  I don't think she was home much. I lived with her in Hawaii.  There maybe was even another girl that shared her room with her.  I can't remember!  But if so, that makes it a whooping 25!
Carly--A little Asian love. I never did get the $45 she owed me for gas/electric.
Holly--Honestly, the sweetest girl I've ever known. She had the cutest room and most comfortable bed.
Emma--Pretty sure she hated it when I'd swing the shower door open. So funny! I loved our late night chats.  I miss those.
Anna--My first and only non-member roommate.  Yep, she fell over in the shower one morning because she had been out having a little too much fun the night before.
Jen--She was always making yummy cake.  I think I gained 10 pounds that year. I could always count on her being there.
forgot her name--All I remember is that we shared a shower that joined our two rooms. I dreaded the noises I'd hear when she'd be in there.  I think I'm trying to block this time in my life from my memory. Yep, that's why I don't remember her name.
Mallory--Could we live more similar lives??  Probably not. Thanks for being there for me Mal!
Annette--She brought so much flair to the apartment not to mention a lot of house guests.  Those were lively times.
Lauren--One mintue she was buying something and the next she was trying to sell things because she had no money.  I love her.
Mickelle--What a shiz face :)  It's a term of endearment folks!
Natalie--She is so funny! I think I said that at least every day when I lived with her.
Jessica--Came and went just like the other but she'd at least stop and say hi.  She always wanted to set me up with her brother that was on a mission. Sorry, but no thanks.
Brianne--Never actually had a conversation with her.  Yep, I had to snoop in her room to actually find her name out.
Lindsey--Ever want cupcakes? She's amazing with frosting. I'm just saying.  I love the boy drama she brings to the apartment.  We need more of that!
Andrea--Did you know that I live with Taylor Swift??  Because I do. She's amazing on the guitar. Honestly, the cutest girl.  It made my day to hear her argue with her mom and sister one day.  She is human!
Paige--Has introduced me to so many wonderful things in the world.  Don't know what I'd do or where I'd be without her. Thanks Paige!

And some honorable mentions:
Tanner--There when I went to bed.  There when I woke up. Amazing.
Morgan--Proved that we CAN sleep two in a twin bed.
Jeff--Yep, slept on our floor for a good two weeks or so.  Come on...he was homeless!
Eddie--The little kitty we found in the parking lot.  Lived with us for less then a week.  I knew the second he peed on the lovesac he'd be asked to leave.
Duckies--One actually grew up to be a quite large duck.  They didn't last long either.  They're quaking kept us up at night.




Marielle, Me, Lacy, Lindsey, and Lyndsey




Me, Emma, and Marielle




Me and Morgan




Melody (friend...maybe future roommate), Natalie, and Lacy




Mallory (living my same life)




Lindsey, Andrea, Me, and the one and only Paige

I know...the pictures are super small and I need more.  They're on my parents computer :(

Where are they all now??....Off leaving handprints on more people's lives.

Why I LOVE New Moon

So what's the real reason why I love New Moon? 

Is it because Edward glitters in the sun and you can't help but be intoxicated by his beauty? haha

Is it because you can yell out the most ridiculous things ever during the movie and everyone cheers?

Is it because of Jacob's amazing body?

Is it because of my favorite quote in the movie: "Age is just a number BABY!" (which I hope shows up on my Birthday cake in 2 weeks). 

Is it because I one day hope to find my own Jacob? Someone that will say to me: "I know he hurt you, but I promise to NEVER hurt you."

I'll be honest...I read a few of the books and didn't really love them.  I actually didn't even see the movie Twilight until a couple weeks ago (which I actually really liked---maybe because I had it built up to be the worst movie ever).  Honestly...I wasn't dying to see it.  But my roommates invited me and besides throwing awesome parties together I really don't do a ton with them.  It's my own fault.  I always fill my nights with blind dates and kinda just do my own thing. 

BUT HONESTLY....Going to New Moon was one of the funnest nights I've ever had because of them....


Yes, we stayed up late one night making t-shirts.
 

And yes, we even got two of our guy friends to come with us (they love it) and even made shirts.


Hanging out with my roommates was one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time.  I can't wait do it again.  Mark your calender June 29th......don't doubt that we'll be there!
 

It was a dark and stormy night...

SCARY STORY PARTY
Not quite sure what a scary story party is.  Well....it involves people coming to a party and taking turns telling scary stories. 

Hundreds of candles as well as our DVD fireplace to set the ambiance. 


Spooky treats.
 

 
 
 

This is me sharing the scariest story of your life.  (notice the fireplace behind me)
 

Everyone is SO scared. 
 

Spooky!
 

AND of course....the after party!

Be the X factor





Oh yeah!!  That's me, court side at the Jazz game. It was freakin amazing!!!  I've never felt like such a movie star with all the luxuries, and paparazzi trying to take my picture.
