BYU-I DO

I have been observing and I find myself laughing almost daily while on campus here at BYU-I DO...

Pretty much there are only two reasons you come to school here...

1. Get married

2. Get an education (and yes this is second to getting married)

It is joked about, but it is 100 percent true and there are many people that take this task SERIOUSLY!!!

As I rode my bike to school I saw several girls that were primped, curled, dressed super cute and had that "I'm gonna find a man!" look in their eyes!

These single people always make sure to attend devotional so they can show the opposite sex how righteous and spiritual they are.

They make sure that they attend every activity that there may be an opportunity to meet their eternal companions.

Both ladies and gents flirt relentlessly and half the time make a fool out of themselves.

I must say it makes for some great entertainment and I can't even say how nice it is to go to school just to go to school. Although even if your married that doesn't stop some guys from trying!

The Haunted Mill

Last night we went to The Haunted Mill which is about 15 min outside of Rexburg. Justin and I went about three years ago when he came to visit me before we were engaged! For most of you that know me, you know that I am a total wimp. I get scared basically by anything and this place is SCARY!!! I think the creepiest part is that its an actual old mill so the setting is perfect...anyways this is it...Justin and I before going in...I was practically having a panic attack!
Jared and Crystal with a creepy Devin in the background! haha

Justin could have been one of the people scaring you inside ;)
The group
Crystal and I

It was fun but I'm glad its over! Haha!

Until next year...

Happy Birthday Brad

Pet Peeve

We had stake conference this weekend which by the way was great! However both last night and this morning we had the privilege of sitting next to two terrible children and their respective parents. The one little girl was covered in some sort of brown stuff, had no shoes on, made sure to hit me several times, and laughed and cried the whole meeting. The little boy this morning decided that he would use his toy horse to bang on the metal chair while his mother just looked straight ahead. He also kept hitting the guy next to him and throwing temper tantrums.

Now don't get me wrong I now love children (I used to hate them) but I have a real problem with children that are loud, obnoxious, whiny, dirty, and mean in church and their parents pay no attention to them! I mean come on! Seriously?! What is the deal here.

I've come up with a theory...I think because everyone and their brother pretty much has a young child that they think that no one will care if their kid is screaming at the top of their lungs in church so they never bother to take them out.

I remember when I had one of those stupid computerized dolls in my child development class in high school that as soon as that thing started to cry in sacrament meeting I booked it!

I can't say how I will be as a parent because I am not currently one, but I can tell you one thing-my kid will not be screaming in sacrament meeting while I just listen as if nothing is wrong. I'm sorry but there are some people who would like to hear and feel the Spirit...just saying. I know you would like to hear too but that's just a sacrifice you have to make when you have young children...that's why there are speakers in the foyer.

Well enough of my rambling, i just had to see how you guys feel about this...don't mean to offend anyone.

Hope you have a great week!

my new favorite...

I found this vinyl saying the other day and decided to make a sign for our living room so I can always be reminded that no matter what happens in life, happiness is a choice and I want to strive to always have a positive attitude and choose happiness!
