I wrote Tuesday then realized it was Wednesday

I've been greatly mixed up with my days lately. But you know, I was just bored and thought I'd blog about some random things...

• I don't understand how IceMelt Salt works...I thought salt made ice freeze harder/faster?
• I am in love with my old man slippers
• I hate when I put a bandaid on a blister and later when I take my socks off the bandaid is on the other side of my foot, or on my other foot completely
• I feel popular when people say hi to me on campus
• I keep thinking of good names for books
• I think of a book title and then I figure out what it's going to be about. It's all backwards
• I really hope that one day I get published, but that may not matter since there's really only one person out there who I care reads my books.
• I wore 3D glasses with the lenses punched out all day today and felt awesome
• I bought knee socks just so that they would show above my boots (well, Santa bought them actually)
• I love jeans. I could live in them. When people tell me they think jeans are scratchy I unconsciously make a sour face and immediately think they are weird
• I feel so embarrassed when people ask me the definition of a word and I don't know it. Yeah I'm an English major, that doesn't mean I'm a dictionary though!
• I am obsessed with Lunch Room Peanut Butter Fingers. If I got stuck on an island and had one thing to eat the rest of my life, that would be it.
• I don't understand why people say they're "taking a break from dating." It seems so contradictory.
• I need to eat more fruit. Especially now that I have a bag of apples, bag of oranges, and a bag of grapefruits
• Mentholatum is awesome. Congestion is not.

15 going on 20

My little sis is all grown up and married.
I started my first day of college the day she turned 16. I wasn't around for her dating years so I feel like she's still 15, but she's not. She's 20, and in the last year she handled full-time school and three jobs. More than I have ever done in my last 4 years of college.

Rachie Face has always been a role model for me. She did everything the right way after graduating from high school. I was just dying to get out of Arizona, I guess I didn't really think much of the benefits of staying home for a year or two. She's about to finish getting her Associates at MCC (well, she actually just transferred to Dixie so she will get it there), and I am no closer to betting my Bachelor's than I was when I first started at BYU.


She has always shown me how blessed one can be in the gospel; continually reading her scriptures and saying her prayers even when it did not seem timely to do so. And trust me, I know this because when I was visiting home she and I were squished into the same bed all over again, and even after I had crawled in, there she was reading away; being her best 24/7.

I'm still trying to come to the realization that this little girl-

is now all grown up with a man of her own...

She couldn't have found a better man suited for her. Congrats to you two. Sorry this post is more poetic and nice. I just had to get it out while I could.

Thankfully she's now only 3 1/2 hours away and can visit more.
