Party Girl # 4

So I have some great friends.

Two of them are Allison and Bethany we like to call ourselves the party girls, like we are in 3rd grade.

When Brandon came home from his man trip, he hung out with the three of us a lot, and was officially unducted as party girl # 4.

Here is one of our "party-licious" nights.

oh life

LIfe is pure craziness right now...

In the last week I have

Picked up my boyfriend from the airport after not seeing him for a month
Planned and executed an entire event for 126 freshman and 40 leaders
Been to work every day between 7 and 9 am and worked until at least 10 pm, and loved every minute
Cried tears of joy, anger, frustration, exhaustion, and heat
Seen hundreds of people walk through our student building that I love, and watch them fall in love with it too
Built a rock wall, and tilled an entire hill when it was 100 degrees outside
Worn overalls to work( and the answer is yes, it was when I was tilling the aforementioned hill)
Played Wii bowling
Sweat, a lot.
Played killball

I could go on and on.

It is now 12:44 am on Saturday. I am literally smiling because I am heading to bed.

It's craziness, I told you.

"Hello lover"

Brandon comes home tomorrow at 5:30 pm after being gone for an entire month!

REUNITED!

I love this.

Things that are nice...My friends.

So this last week of my life has been complete chaos, but in the midst of it all, I had such encouragement and love in my life.

My great friend/roommate/doctor Bethany surprised me with what I like to call the permanent starbucks cup. I literally screamed out loud in the office. You can read about the cup on Ryannes blog, she has one too.

Oh and, my friend Allison invited me to her house where she made me dinner, and just let me talk about my life to her.

Plus, Zack saw one day that I was feeling down and told me that Debbie Barker ( his mom) always made him Chai tea when he was sad, so he made me some. It was delish.

Then a couple of days ago Ryanne left a little note of encouragement on my desk along with a cupcake notebook, just because.

THEN I log onto the space aka myspace, and see a great an unexpected encouraging and loving comment from my main man, Bran. He posted it while in China! ( He's not a huge myspace guy, so this was extra special.)

I tell ya, I am lucky to be surrounded by such great people.

Does this make me manly?

I am sitting in class right now, listening to my professor talk about something super interesting ( seriously, I am not being sarcastic...) but at the same time in the right hand corner of my computer screen I have live feed of the Laker game.

I am my fathers daughter, that is all I have to say.

Well...

I was going to blog about the Angles game that I attended last night, but Allisons post trumps mine in every way so I will just direct you over there.

Staff retreat is my girlfriend

We leave for staff retreat today and I am so excited. 3 days of uninterrupted fun, sun and relaxation. (wow cheesiness.)

I heart inventions

Every now and then I come up with an idea in my head and think "wow, I wonder if I could make some serious money off of that?" Other times I look at things and think " how did I not think of that?"

When I walked into starbucks the other day, I felt the latter.

Observe:


They are spill sticks.

That's using your thinker.

Sometimes.

Sometimes I read other peoples blogs and then use the pictures from theirs and blog about it myself. This is one of those times.

When I was younger I used to write notes and ideas on my hands to remember them later, my mom hated when I wrote on myself.

Ok mom, how would you feel if I had used these?
