things i've discovered/rediscovered in the last week and a half.
1. i love the people i work with.
2. ken not only writes hilarious blogs but can deliver his own babies singlehandedly.
3. i think it'd be really nice to have a baby someday. i said someday.
4. i can consume ALOT of ice cream late at night. and after said ice cream consumption ..for some reason i feel fatter the next morning.
5. trev can handle me stressed and crying when its completely legit with flying colors.

i copied my friend lisa.she posted this song by david gray and whilst looking it up on youtube i found this, and i confess, i LOVE it. reminds me of freshman year@ the U and watching the OC on DVD with maria. good times...
live alittle thats what i say :)
how do you decided what to do? what if you just took a quantum leap into a black hole and its new and exciting and you LOVE it but you still can't see anything? and maybe not seeing the end of the tunnel yet is the scary part.
what if you decided one day your job your life your apartment your everything just may not be what you're exactly looking for? can you even say thats not what you want when you can't say what you're actually looking FOR? is that legit?
maybe its just me thinking in the middle of the night- common occurrence. curse the lucas blood.
maybe the fact that everyone around me seems to be in school or have a job or career they like or some great goals or are freaking getting married- whats the part i am missing??
okay universe, i'm hanging in there, this whole floating around in space is cool for a little while- but maybe sometime soon you can push me in a direction closer to love and happiness and a job i never want to leave? :) pretty please? :)
the blah blonde and the brakell who made funness happen!
hooray my hair has grown out enough to curl!! look at that awesome dark chunk :)
okay everyone, sorry for the previous post!
i am SO HAPPY with the decision to leave my job and seek out whatever God and the world has in store for moi!! its gonna be great and hard and probably stressful but i am SO EXCITED to get started! hooray for change and trying something new!
i read off a policy number to a hartford representative today. i said "h as in happy" and he LAUGHED at me.
let me make it clear. i DO NOT want to be a guy. NEVER. i like my curves and moods and being able to pinch and laugh and be picked up and tossed around by men larger than myself. i secretly like being the one that loses the wrestling match pinned to the ground. (don't tell) why then, you ask, do i confess this? because, i say, due to father's day and the mass surroundings of men in my life lately, i just feel the need to shout out to the testosterone filled, punk head, priesthood bearing, little kid-tossing, laughing, teasing, generous, kind and tough men all around me everyday!
thank you for knowing i'm not ticklish and finding other ways to get me to squeel.
thanks for tossing nieces and nephews around when my arms are tired.
thanks for being bigger than me and wrapping your arms all the way around me when we hug.
thanks for laughing histerically across the roof everytime i swing a hammer with two hands.
thanks for bringing me t shirts that would fit you and three of me.
thanks for moving tables and dressers and mattress up stairwells.
thanks for threatening to beat up anyone who hurts or gets near me.
and most of all..
thanks for loving me back. all of you.
even if you're hands are shaking and your faith is broken, even as the eyes are closing, do it with a heart wide open. say what you need to say...john mayer
lindsey, jake, and matthew walking through jw marriot to go swimming.
(walking past pond)
jake(very seriously): please tell me there are no alligators in there.
matthew(very shocked): oh no!! alligators!?
jake(very worried- he HAS never been to this pool before...): that's not the pool, right?
lindsey(VERY entertained): pretty sure you got nothin to worry about, dude.
only tyler would cut a bean quesodilla like this. it was mangled by the end.
my friend tyler came down. always a pleasure.
i'm braggin bc this outfit was ridiculously cute and you can't even see it.
powdered donuts + tyler + trevor= on my face
i'm frustrated. with all the moving and traveling and sleeping on a couch bc i still don't have a bed nonsense, my camera cord got lost. i have some great pics of my friend tyler and kelli's baby Dylan, to upload..but NO! alas! thus i find myself being more thoughtful and less fun and visually stimulating in this post...lets pretend its thanksgiving and we're sitting around the table saying what we're thankful for....
I'm GRATEFUL for:
anne calling me and telling me about the lightning storm she was driving through. i miss nj. and i miss talking to her.
jamie and clay coming to lunch yesterday. i even got to hold her hand for 30 seconds and it felt nice to remember how much and why i love her.
i'm grateful for fingernails. i like mine. i don't have boy short nails.
my mom stopped what she was doing when i asked her so i could cry about the girl at church who was mean to me. she made me feel better. i love moms who just talk to you instead of ask why you aren't in relief society.
tyler showed up at work on friday just in time so i could hug and cry on his shoulder. (sidebar: why does it seem like i cried alot? i really didn't.)
i made fun of trevor's dad to his face and i know he liked it :)
i feel happy when i think of God in my life.
i'm grateful my roommate has a comfy couch i sleep on bc the air mattress was ridiculously uncomfortable.
i'm grateful for cheese. basically any form thereof.
the end. go tell someone you're grateful for them.
