Move over Chocolate covered cinnamon bears, these babies just became my new weakness. They are delectable, mouth watering, to-die-for chocolaty goodness.
Yes, it is love. True love.
Now go get yourself one.
“What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.” ― Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Word of the Day
NEPOTISM- [nep-uh-tiz-uhm]
Definition: favouritism shown to relatives or close friends by those with power or influence.
Out of an absurd argument over my mother allowing me to eat some of her frozen berries and not another person, I guess the good thing that came of this heated discussion is learning a new word.
Nepotism. N-e-p-o-t-i-s-m. Nepotism.

Goodbye Fall Semester 2010
You have been good to me. You have given me great experiences, and by great I mean a mixture of some extremely difficult and others fun and exciting. I was blessed with 5 incredible roommates that have taught me so much with both their words and their examples.
Highlights of the semester:
Prank wars with our FHE brothers
Traveling to California with Natalie, her brother, and their friend.(un sliding off the road from all the snow and putting a lovely dent in my car)
The best Thanksgiving break ever, including getting a surprise visit from my uncle Don who lives in Australia.
Road trips to Utah visiting with Hailey, Jayson, Alyssa, and Dustin
Driving all the way to Boise for a date, only to get stood up.
Staying awake ALL night during the weeknights and going to bed by 10 on the weekends.
Bubble blowing contests.
Making Anna look like an Avatar with blue cupcake frosting.
Adding new quotes to our quote wall.
Homework parties with my roommates which turn into talking about boys, watching movies, Facebooking, and late night runs to Taco Bell or Wendy’s.
Listening to Kid Kudi evertyime we were in the car together.
Painting on mustaches.
Talking “ghetto”.
Having conversations in movie quotes.
SNUGGLING (yes, I just said the “S” word ;)
Getting kicked out of a movie and escorted into another movie.
Watching “She’s the Man” in a fort.
Sarah and Bennett’s wedding.
Going on dates with Natalie.
Trips to Winco with Sarah.
Snowboard/sledding with boys from Shelbourne apartments.
I will miss Stephanie, Alyssa, and Anna with my WHOLE HEART
I hope Stephanie has incredible experiences on her mission.
I hope Anna won’t get bored in Chicago a month after she’s gone.
And I hope Alyssa has fun finally seeing that boy of hers in Georgia.
I love you HOMEGIRLS

Copy Cat
So I copied Jayson's post, who I told to copy Becca's. With that being said, Here is 30 things you may or may not have known about me.
1.I was born in the same hospital room as my mother was born in which was in Sacramento, California.
2.I have a total of 9 siblings but only 1 is a full sibling.
3.After I get my elementary teaching degree, my dream is to move to Alaska and teach for a few years.
4.People’s first impressions of me are always wrong mostly because I act like I am shy, but
5.I am not shy.
6.It is almost painful for me to NOT sing along with a song that I know the words to. Sometimes I am even caught lipping the words to songs while I am half asleep.
7.I would take an action or suspense movie any day over a chick flick
8.I detest shopping
9.But I have an obsession with knitted hats
10.I used to be a bomb cheerleader.
11.I’m awful at cooking. But I love to do it.
12.I tend to be extremely sarcastic but most of the time people believe me and think I am some one that I am not.
13.Thai food is my favorite next to Mediterranean food
14.I sang in my school choirs for 7 years. I loved it. And it gave me a great appreciation for classical and jazz music as well as a love for musicals.
15.I love writing letters. Most likely if you are a good friend of mine you have once received one of these letters from me. If not, give me your address and I will most definitely send you a love letter.
16.Sometimes when I am bored, I put on make-up because I find it fun.
17.I have moved on from my country obsession song from being “Need You Now” by Lady A, to “Colder Weather” by my favorite Zac Brown Band.
18.I laugh really easy
19.Whenever I see horses, my heart smiles. I love them.
20.People use to know me as the one who could sleep anytime anywhere. Now, my bedtime is around 2-4am.
21.The only place I ever seem to hurt myself is my right knee. Rollerblading accident, long boarding accident, and cutting it open on an old rusty bullet hole from a car.
22.I would love to be a librarian. I love books.
23.I bought glow-in- the-dark stars but only one of them stayed on my ceiling. So sometimes I will lay in bed and shine my flashlight on it, watch it glow, watch it go dark, then shine my flash light on it again. Then repeat the process until I fall asleep.
24.I have ADD with life. I can’t stay in one place for too long before I am ready to go on another adventure somewhere. Hence why I find myself going to Utah on many weekends.
25.I eat my bell peppers like apples.
26.I like to go to the movies by myself sometimes. And on the rare occasion that I do go shopping, I have to go by myself…most of the time.
27.My weakness is chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Mmmm
28.I wish I could be a spy
29.One time I went on a date and the guy took me through the kitchen window instead of the front door.
30.I like to drink the pepperoncini juice.

Quick trip to Utah
On Saturday morning I left to meet my mom in Pocatello where we joined cars and headed to Salt Lake. It was just a quick day trip wichi involved:- Roaming around a mall
- visiting with Dustin for a few minutes while I dropped off his stuff
- Going and getting all you can eat sushi (although I only had about one rolls worth of sushi on account I got severley nauseous early on in the meal. I think someone tried to poison me. Or maybe it was the octopus that I ate.) (The strange animal picture is a special sushi roll our chef made for us. how cute)
- Then going to Temple Square to see the lights and tour some buildings.
It was lovely.
