This news made me cry with happiness

Not really doing that much homework this week

Comic Frenzie "Hola Mama!"

Hijacking scary movie night

pumpkin cookies

A mighty return.

.... A mighty return? What does that mean?.... Whatever, I'm sticking with it.

Welcome back to the U.S.of A. kids!

I feel: 

exhausted, 

sad,

happy,

energized,

awake, 

renewed,

open,

bruised,

and ready.

Rather than do one very large blog post on my entire trip, I am going to try and break it up a bit. First of all, I want to get my hands on the pictures everyone else took (partially because APPARENTLY, I am terrible at taking pictures of myself.... boo.) and Secondly, it's hard to read really long blog posts. It wears a girl out. (also hard to right.... that's right. I'm being lazy. But not completely. Give me a break I had a week of hard labor and sleeping on cement.)

The fire has been re-lit.

Alas, there are still so many things to worry about. I forever feel like I am lacking. Never enough time, and yet, I still manage to watch the Bachelorette each week. Sigh....

Here is a preview of what's to come:

Things to come in the following weeks:

Yellowstone,

work, work, work (poor Jewelya)

school/ finals (*insert scream here*)

Retreat for girls (Oh man, not quite ready yet!)

Countdown to Guatemala: 5 Days

My to-do list:

Ya... right. I wish. 

This stresses me out:

-Write a letter

-Email professors (please be nice to me!)

- Do ALL school work for this week (aaah!!)

-AND next weeks

-Get dress fitted

-Finish shopping list

-Packing list

-Go paint balling (It's happening)

-Work

-Get Endorsement from bishop

-Renew recommend

-Try to hit the temple

-Talk to that boy?

-Figure out Counselor class/ Handout...

-By an enormous amount of gum/ lifesavers

-Figure out where by backpack

-Find a new waterbottle?

-Copy Passport.

-Return late library book (opps...)

-Watch the bachelorette... heh... *ashamed face*

-Write a love note to Jewlya

-Get cash/ figure out trip money situation

-Possible wedding?

All of this stress will be worth it.... 

Good news #1

I have had a hard couple of months, but recently I have received two major blessings in my life. This is the first one; I was promoted to be manager of the Downeast warehouse sale at the fashion place mall!

This picture is what my store looks like now that we have moved in. It works out perfectly because it is a temporary store (will probably be open no later than April). Its just long enough for me to learn a lot and put "manager" on my resume, but isn't so long that its over whelming for a college girl like me. I'm so grateful for this opportunity and I seriously LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!

So I guess it's about time

Dear loved ones,

I would like to apologize for my absence from this blog. Life has been CRAZY busy down here in Florida. I work about 6-8 hours a day which isn't too bad at all, but there are always fun parties to attend and grocery shopping to be done.

Here are some pictures from my life recently:

My "cute little" chef's costume that I wear to work EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Roommates with matching ears. (We earned our ears)

Public transpiration BABY!

We went to 50's Prime time Cafe at Hollywood Studios

Amberlie got in trouble for putting her elbows on the table

and had to put her nose on the wall while the whole room laughed.

SUCH A FUN RESTERAUNT
