Birthday!

2012-01-29T13:59:00.004-07:00

My sister inspired me to make a birthday list!!

So here are the things I want for my Birthday..............

I love Krave! I got two gift certificates for Christmas and I've already used them!

I want an IPHONE so bad!! I've wanted one for the longest time, maybe for my birthday?!

Love these earrings!!

I have a pair of black but as soon as I found these I feel in love!!

VEGAS!!

2012-01-07T21:54:00.004-07:00

This past week it was one of my best friends Sarah's birthday! To celebrate it a bunch of us went to Vegas to hang out and to have some fun. Me and Mike headed down after we got off work and stayed at Sarah's house with seven of our friend

s. In the morning we headed out for Lunch at a place called "A Taste of Chicago". We met up with her Dad and had some great food! After we headed to the mall where I got some shopping on. Victorias Secret was having their annual sale so I got a new sweatshirt (it's SUPER pink!) I alsogot some MAC makeup. The last thing I bought was my first pair of TOMS! They are super comfy and I would for sure recommend them to anyone!

After shopping we went back to Sarahs house to g

et ready for dinner! We ended up going to a place called Firefly. It was interesting to saw the least. It isn't too expensive but the portion sizes are tiny! I guess that is the point of the restaurant, b

ut I thought it was weird! For example, I got a chicken salad and in

my mind I thought it was a salad with chicken in it... nope, it was actually chicken salad with four pieces of lettuce to eat it with. It was just weird to eat for a dinner.

After we dinner we ended up getting free tickets to a show called "Divas". It's actually the longest running show on the strip and it was super funny! Its a drag show where they impersonate famous singers and lip sing some of their songs. It was way funny and I enjoyed the entire thing!

I didn't get a picture but Sarah and Bryant got a picture with the guy who dresses up as Tina Turner and Beyonce.

I know it looks weird, but I loved it!

The next day we woke up and drove home. I love Vegas and want to go their again sometime soon! Me and Mike did do a little bit of gambling on the slots, but lost all 5 of our dollars!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!

Addicted to Netflix!

2012-01-05T16:49:00.004-07:00

Netflix may be the best invention! I started watching netflix in August and since then I have watched a lot of different shows.

Vampire Diaries was for sure my favorite show of them all! I have never been a huge fan of Vampire shows or books, although I loved twilight that was about the only one I liked. Vampire Diaries is GREAT! I love it, and unlike True Blood, it isn't very graphic.

That 70's show is so funny! I used to watch it all the time, and when I found out it was on Netflix it turned into one of my favorite shows.

I am currently watching this show and it's one of my favorites now. I can't believe how much drama they can put into one show. I highly recommend it and can't wait to see what the last 4 seasons are like.

This show is hilarious! Everything about it was super funny.

Didn't have many seasons but I really liked the five that they did. Mike loves this show and he is actually the one that started my liking for it.

I love Netflix, and I highly recommend it to anyone!

About to be a Grown-Up!!

2012-01-02T00:40:00.001-07:00

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since July!

One of my New Year resolutions is to blog more, so this is my first attempt.

So much has been going on. I just finished my last fall semester at SUU and I’m starting my final semester before I graduate! I am beyond excited to finally be done with school and become a “grown up”. I have a couple of ideas on what I want to do but I haven’t officially decided on what I want to do.

I looked into working at a Juvenile Detention facility up in Salt Lake, which looks like it would be a lot of fun. I’ve also thought about working in a girl’s home, I know if a couple in Utah County that look like they would be a lot of fun to work in.

Haven’t made any plans for sure, but I wanted to update everyone and get some ideas on what you think!!

new years resolution....

2012-01-01T17:26:00.001-07:00

i've decided i need to blog more. i just wanted everyone to know... but i'll start tomorrow :D

July Jamboree

2011-07-09T16:21:00.002-06:00

Today I got to hang out with Mikes little brothers Nick and Tyler. They are amazing kids that LOVE cars. We went to the July Jamboree to check out some of the ones they have there. It was so much fun and a great way to spend my afternoon!!

blogging....

2011-07-08T00:50:00.002-06:00

I wish I could get this whole blogging thing down. I NEVER remember to blog and it always looks so pathetic when I go to blog and realized I haven't written in forever! Not a lot has been going with my life lately. I just finished summer school and have finally been enjoying my summer break. Me Mike and his brother Matt went to Sandhallow last weekend for 3 days and soaked up the sun... and A LOT of bug bites. It was fun but I am definitely feeling the aftermath! Today Mike and I also went to the Cedar Lake and got a little more sun burnt (all worth it!) Hopefully now that summer has started I can start blogging about cool stuff. I'll try and keep everyone posted!

Day 18 - Plans/dreams/goals you have.

2011-05-09T00:03:00.002-06:00

In no real order:

Visit Egypt
Graduate College
Get Married in the Temple
Have 4 kids
Serve an LDS Mission with my husband
Go on an African Safari
See Mount Rushmore (it only takes eleven hours from Lehi!)

Just a couple for now!! :D

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

2011-05-08T00:31:00.004-06:00

I picked a couple, because I couldn't pick just one!

Emma Watson

I chose her for obvious reasons. I love Harry Potter! She played one of my favorite characters of all time, at times she was a little annoying, but she helped make the movies what they are today. Not only that, she is gorgeous! I am very envious of her and all she has accomplished.

Kate Middleton

I very much enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding and seeing her on her wedding day. I LOVED her dress, it is stunning and a dress I would love to have (of course a little more modest!) She is one of the luckiest girls in the world right now! I know everyone loved Princess Diana but I think Kate looked so much happier and in love on her wedding day. I would love to switch places with her and see what her life is like.

Anne Hathaway

I have loved her since Princess Diaries! She is so beautiful and also very funny. Every movie I have seen her in I have loved and I think she is an amazing actress.

Day 16 - Another picture of yourself

2011-05-07T16:54:00.005-06:00

I know this is kind of a weird picture but there is a lot that goes behind it! This picture was taken at Three Peaks in Cedar City. I went there with Mike and his family one saturday and we rode his quads and buggy all day long! It was so much fun and I got to know his family a lot better. His family is AMAZING! They have really been my second family here in Cedar. Every sunday night we have family dinner together and his parents and 15 year old sister have a business where they make jewelry and those flowers you put in your hair. They make a lot of money from it and I have recently started helping them. It's fun to make something and then hear later that week that they already sold it! I love spending time with them, we always have so much fun!!

Day 15 - A picture of you and your family.

2011-05-06T00:44:00.002-06:00

The Miller Family!

Growing up my family was a little bit dysfunctional. Now I am happy to say we all get a long with each other and have some good memories. My Mom and Dad have been been married for... 30 years (I think). This picture was taken at my brothers wedding in October. Him and Nicole are perfect for each other and Nicole is so sweet and nice, I don't know how he landed someone like her! Natalie and Davy have been married for almost 6 years (I think) and have a son named Camden. He is the cutest baby in the world, I hate living in Cedar because I don't get to see him grow up!! Natalie has been my best friend since I was little and I love visiting Lehi just to hang out with her. Me and Davy have a love-hate relationship, but in the end I know he loves me :D

I love my family!!

Day 12 - How you found out about blogging.

2011-05-03T00:17:00.005-06:00

My Sister!

She blogged for a while before I started getting into it. I used to blog a lot more. I guess fun things used to happen in my life, now it's pretty much just work and school. Thanks Natalie for introducing me into the blogging world!! Love you!

Day 11 - Another picture of you and your friends.

2011-05-02T15:06:00.003-06:00

This is a picture of Sarah, Bryant, Jessica, Cole, Me and Mike at Sigma Chi formal. I have been friends with them for so long and when me and Mike started dating they all loved him. Before formal Mike, Cole and Bryant went snowboarding, which explains the red face!

Day 10 - Songs you listen to when you're happy, sad, or bored.

2011-05-02T14:55:00.003-06:00

Happy: It all kind of depends on when I'm happy. I listen to the newest music when I'm happy and just chilling in my room. Right now my 'happy' playlist consists of:

Marry Me: Train

Just Can't Get Enough: Black Eyed Peas

E.T. - Kanye West and Katy Perry

Price Tag - Jessie Feat B.O.B

I'm Coming Home - Diddy Dirty Money

Where Them Girls At - David Guetta

Down on Me - Jeremih and 50 Cent

Sad: I haven't been sad in awhile, so I wouldn't say I really have a 'sad' playlist but some songs that are sad to me that I have been listening to is:

Don't You Wanna Stay - Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson

Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

Bored: When I am bored i usually look up new songs on youtube, or just put pandora on and google crap. I love listening to the Marie Digby radio station. Her music tends to inspire me or make me feel happy!!

Day 9 - Something you're proud of in the last few days

2011-04-28T10:48:00.002-06:00

Because next week is finals week I have had a lot to do this week and weekend to prepare. Luckily I got it all done by Wednesday! Now all I have to do is wait for my one final next thursday. Usually I am such a procrastinator, but this week I am proud to say I got everything done early!

Another thing I am proud of is that I am already all packed. I am moving to another room in my house but still needed to pack some stuff to make it an easier move. I'm not moving till Wednesday but hopefully I can move it all in 30 min. or less!

Day 8: Short term goals for the month and why.

2011-04-27T15:45:00.002-06:00

Make it to next thursday! - I only have one class period and one final left till summer, but I still can barely get myself to go to class or do ANYTHING!
Clean up the Alpha Phi roster! - Being President I get the responsibility of making sure members who don't come to stuff or have moved away are off the international roster so we not longer have to pay for them. It sounds easier than it is, I HATE it!
Go Camping. - I love being outdoors and luckily so does Mikes family. A couple weeks ago me, him, and 3 of his younger siblings went camping. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again.
Move in a new room :D - I get to move to a private room in my house and get my old bed back, I can't wait!

Day 7 - A picture of something that has had the biggest impact on you.

2011-04-27T11:48:00.004-06:00

Alpha Phi has truly made me the person I am today. It has blessed me with so many memories, friends and experiences that have shaped into the woman I am now.

I don't know where I would be without this wonderful organization. It has not only given me life long friends, but I have traveled to Indiana and California to learn more about Alpha Phi and also how to be a better leader. I have loved the time spent in this organization and can't wait to become a life long member when I graduate!

{I believe in my Fraternity, I believe in Alpha Phi!}

Day 6 - Favorite Superhero and Why

2011-04-26T00:14:00.003-06:00

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!!

Growing up this was one of my favorite shows! I still remember pretending we were the power rangers and I was always the Pink one. I miss the Original Power Rangers, now they have all the weird ones that no one really watches.

Lately....

2011-04-25T00:06:00.009-06:00

Last weekend was Sigma Chi formal. It was bittersweet for me because although I had fun, I had to give up being Sweetheart. I have loved being a part of Sigma Chi this past year, and the time to give it up came much too fast! I had to give a farewell speech which broke my heart, and then watch them sing the Sweetheart Song to their new Sweetheart. It's weird to think that just a year ago that was me! I will never forget any of them, and some of the men in this picture will forever be my best friends!

The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi is a very coveted position and the Sweetheart is meant to represent the person all the Men in the Fraternity strive to marry. The song that they sing goes like this:

When the world goes wrong, as it's bound to do And you've broken Dan Cupid's bow And you long for the girl you used to love the maid of the long ago

Why light your pipe, bid sorrow avaunt, Blow the smoke from your alter of dreams And wreathe the face of your dream-girl there The love that is just what it seems.

The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl Of all the girls I know Each sweet co-ed, like a rainbow trail Fades in the after glow

The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair Are a blend of the western sky

And the moonlight beams On the girl of my dreams She's the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.

On a brighter note, I got to spend the night with some of my sisters! Adriana, Jaclyn, Rachel, Andrew (BB!) Sarah, Jess, Kelly and Lisa. Love them and was so happy they were there with me!

It was Alpha Phi formal on April 9th! It was so much fun to see everyone dressed up, I absolutely loved it! We all had fun and I won the AOE award! The description of this award is: “Sister who most exemplifies what Alpha Phi is. She is a positive role model and is always a positive image on campus and in the community."

The best part was that the girls voted me for it! :D Love my A-Phis!!

Me and Mike went to the Carnival! I love love LOVE the carnival so I was so happy it came to Cedar. We rode the Ferris Wheel twice and went in the fun house mirror place (so funny)! Mike is the BEST. We spend as much time as we can together and every sunday we go to his house for family dinner. His family is amazing and about 2 weeks ago my mom and dad got to meet his mom. Things are going extremely well for us!

We had our annual Greek Week and it was fun of competition and excitement! Alpha Phi walked away with a whole handful of awards!

- Best Advisor: Kathleen McDowell

- Best Leader: Chelsea Chaney (UGC V.P.)

- Highest Overall GPA

- Most Service Hours

- Tied with Sigma Nu for Greek Week Champions (we really should have won, but it's a long story!)

- J. Howard Mahn Greek Letter Organization of the Year!: The most prestigious award given at Greek Week! It had five different parts. Jake Johnson our Greek Advisor said that all three judges said hands down Alpha Phi had won!

I am so proud to be a member of the Greek Community at SUU! We are getting bigger every day and I can't wait for the day when I get to look back and see us filling the stadium because we are so big!

Because I am part of the Executive Council in Alpha Phi we were able to travel to L.A. to attend an Annual Conference our sorority holds. It was so much fun and I gained so much knowledge and information on how to better my own Chapter. This is a picture of the entire Exec. with the International President Linda. She is such a sweet and accomplished woman!

I ran for Elections at SUU. I was part of the VOICE party, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life! I didn't win, but I met so many amazing people! I had fun and it was a very humbling experience :D

I believe thats all! I will try to blog more (sorry Natalie)!

My Thoughts on Web 2.0

2011-03-21T14:10:00.003-06:00

Web 2.0 is all about blogging and reading information that others put out into the world. Another big part of Web 2.0 is Social Networking. I recently ran for Student Government here at SUU and our big platform was about hearing the student voice. That is what Web 2.0 is all about, people want their voice to be heard and this is how they do it. I don't really believe it affects society, except for the fact people spend more time on computers than ever before.

I have been blogging for over 3 years now, and because of this Web 2.0 has played a big part in my life. I am not one to read random blogs, or to read blogs about what people think about politics, celebrities or what's going on in the world. I read blogs about my friends and family. I think it is the greatest way to stay in touch with people I don't get to see on a regular basis.

Updates!!

2011-01-18T13:32:00.005-07:00

Here are some pictures of a couple things I've been doing. Sorry, I haven't had time to blog lately. Hopefully more in the future!

Nathan and Nicole got married (I'm not sure if I have mentioned that yet)!

Me and My boyfriend Mike are together all the time. He has come home with me a could times and before Christmas we went to Temple Square!

CAMDEN! He is the cutest boy in the world and is getting bigger and bigger every time I see him!

Alpha Phi started up again with school. We had a club fair to kick of RUSH! I can't wait to get cute new baby Phis!

Day 5 - a picture of somewhere you've been to

2010-12-07T08:47:00.004-07:00

I haven't been to a whole lot of places, but these are some of my favorites.....

New York - April 2008

I went my senior year for Spring Break with the music kids from my school. Since my Student Council Advisor was the dance teacher she let me and some other friends go! It was so much fun and I want to go back so bad. We saw 3 broadway shows, and went to some off broadway stuff as well.

Arizona - October 2009

I went on a road trip with some girls in my sorority and our friend Damian. We had so much fun and we got to watch our team play Northern Arizona. This is also the trip I met John McCain on :D

Indiana - July 2009

I went to a place called ELI one summer which was held in Indiana. It is a Leadership Retreat for girls in Alpha Phi. I applied and actually got in! I had so much fun and learned a lot more about my sorority. I am still close with the girls I met there.

California - March 2009

This was my first Spring Break in College and we had so much fun! My friend Lainey lives in San Diego so we went and spent the week touring Southern California. We had so much fun and it is one of my favorite memories.

ELECTIONS!

2010-11-15T09:36:00.004-07:00

Alpha Phi elections are tonight and I am super scared! Last year I ran for President and didn't get it, and even though I was sad at the time I very quickly realized that I was not ready for that position at all. I feel the past year has prepared me for this and even though I wasn't slated for president, I still am going to try for it. I was however slated for Marketing and that position would be just as fun for me! Wish me luck! I will let you know how it goes!!

I have always looked up to the Presidents of Alpha Phi, here are some picture of me with them!

Me and Timian, our current President.

Me and my sister Natalie :D

Rachelle, Heather and Lisa are all past presidents.

Me and Raquel

Gay Marriage

2010-10-04T22:12:00.003-06:00

“The greatest fear I have is that the people of this Church will accept what we say as the will of the Lord without first praying about it and getting the witness within their own hearts that what we say is the word of the Lord.” - Brigham Young

So many people have been talking about what Boyd K Packer said at conference on Sunday. Because I am mormon and also live with two gay guys (no they aren't dating, we are all friends) I have been asked how I feel. Honestly I don't know. I have always known the stance the church took on gay marriage, but I believe that the mormon church doesn't force you to do anything. They put guidelines in front of you and it's up to you to obey. Of course you won't get the same blessings that others get when they obey, but you get the consequences of the choices you make. That's how I felt about this, the church has never really told me what to do or believe until yesterday and now I am kind of confused.

One thing that makes me mad is when people who aren't LDS try to talk to me about the church and say how things are 'stupid' when they don't understand. Lately it bugs me when people who are LDS talk about how being gay is wrong when they probably have never met or talked to a gay man or women in their life. If you know nothing about you, you should learn and then form your opinion.

I started looking stuff up online about it and I found a group called Mormons For Marriage. It is a group of Mormon People who are against Proposition 8. They had a lot of good quotes from prophets like the one I had in the beginning. Others include:

“With all their inspiration and greatness, prophets are yet mortal men with imperfections common to mankind in general. They have their opinions and prejudices and are left to work out their own problems without inspiration in many instances.” - Bruce R. McConkie

They also have others that talk about equal rights:

Joseph Smith declared in a statement published in the June 1, 1842 issue of the Times and Seasons (vol. 3, no. 15, p. 808) that he and other members of the First Presidency were “friends of equal rights and privileges to all men.”
President John Taylor said, “When the people shall have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men”. (Journal of Discourses, 21:8)
Hugh B. Brown of the First Presidency said in October 1963 General Conference, “We believe that all men are the children of the same God, and that it is a moral evil for any person or group of persons to deny any human being the right to gainful employment, to full educational opportunity, and to every privilege of citizenship….We call upon all men, everywhere, both within and outside the Church, to commit themselves to the establishment of full civil equality for all of God’s children.”

This confuses me even more! I think all I can do right now is do what Brigham Young said and pray about it. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

6. Not going to church because of conference :)

5. CUPCAKES!

Crazy

2010-09-09T01:02:00.003-06:00

Life has been somewhat like a roller coaster these past couple of weeks. One day I am so happy and the next day things just don't seem to be going my way.

School started and I am having so much fun. I love being part of a great organization like Alpha Phi. I also love being the Sigma Chi Sweetheart. I think every girl should get the opportunity to be respected by these wonderful guys I get to spend almost every day with, they make me laugh and they are some of my best friends.

Living with guys is weird. I love Andrew and Eric, but I miss having girls around. Sometimes you just need a girl (preferably a sister - real or alpha phi) to talk to. Guys, even gay guys don't understand girl thoughts.

Rush week was crazy. It was all very much worth it, we have 48 amazing Alpha Phis and 15 amazing Sigma Chis. I couldn't be happier.

I got to spend the weekend with my family! Natalie had a baby 2 months ago and he is my best friend. I wish I could spend every day with him. AND Nathan is getting married! Her name is Nicole and I lover her. She is so cute and I think her and my brother are perfect for each other. The wedding is October 29th and I can't wait. Sad thing about spending the weekend at home is that I don't get to do it for another 3 weeks!

I started a Sigma Chi Newsletter that I send out to all the Members. It's awesome, and I have had nothing but positive feedback with it. I love getting others excited about Sigma Chi and parents are some of the most important people.

Work is BLAH! I really don't enjoy working at Wingers anymore, but I can't afford to quit, especially when no where else is hiring. If it weren't for the people I work with I would be out of there so fast.

Finally, It's starting to get cold. I'm scared.

The sad story of Rascal

2010-07-21T23:24:00.003-06:00

Everyone has been asking me what happened to Rascal, so I am finally writing down the story!!

(sorry if i misspelled something, or my grammar is weird, this was a long blog and I am tired!!)

When I got back from church on Sunday I was in my room about to take a nap. Right when I was ready to fall asleep I heard my dad come running inside saying "Rascals dead Rascals dead!" I ran outside as fast as I could (without changing my skirt, or grabbing shoes) At first I thought he was ran over by a car, but then I saw the blood dripping from my dads hand and knew something else had happened. I heard dogs barking down the street and took off running. As I got closer I saw Rascals leash on the ground and then looked over and saw Rascal being torn apart by three other dogs.

Apparently my Dad was walking Rascal and he got too close to the fence and the other dogs grabbed Rascal by the neck and pulled him through the fence and bit my dads hand in the process.

Without really knowing what to do I started screaming and yelling and shaking the fence as hard as I could. The dogs were mean and vicious and I was scared out of my mind. This whole time I already thought Rascal was dead, he was rigid and bloody and I couldn't tell if he was still alive. Finally I did the only thing I could think of and I jumped over the fence. I found something on the ground and threw it at one of the dogs. The smaller dog and one of the big ones backed off, the biggest of the three stood over my dog and stared me down. I stared back and finally said "get back" and the dog backed off. Not until I picked up Rascal did I realize he was still alive. I screamed for my mom and she came around the corner and I handed Rascal to her. We got to my house, checked on my dad and got in the car to take Rascal to the Animal Hospital.

After driving 90 on the freeway and flipping at least 2 people off we made it there and ran Rascal inside. At first they didn't really know if he was going to make it, they said they couldn't tell until they took x-rays to see if the bites have punctured or bruised any major organs. Amazingly enough, nothing was seriously injured. The Vet was worried about a couple of things so Rascal stayed the night to get stitched up and to be monitored. The next morning me and my mom went and picked him up, the Vet said everything looked normal and that he was stable. The one thing she said was that he needed to Pee sometime before 4, if not we would have to bring him back.

Around 4 my parents took rascal back in because he hadn't gone to the bathroom yet. They checked everything out and told us that it still looked okay and to wait overnight to see if there was any change. Sadly, I had to go back to Cedar that night so I had to say goodbye and just hope he would get better.

So far things are looking so much better! He even pooped today (kinda gross, but thats a good sign) As for the mean horrible dogs... The one that bit my dad is Quarantined for ten days, after that he is let out and still has 2 more chances until he is put down. That is, if he hasn't done it before. The other two are basically let off the hook. When the police approached the owners about the situation they both said they weren't liable for what had happened and they aren't going to pay any for about the $2000 vet bill my parents now have. I'm pretty sure my parents are planning on suing, but we don't know how strong our case it yet.

I should mention that my dad is okay. He had eight stitches in his finger and they bandaged up his other arm that was scratched by the fence, everything else is fine. My dads best friend is Rascal, so if anything happens to him my dad will be devastated. Cute little side note... When my dad was in the hospital for over a month Rascal for the first couple days was so sad. He would sit by the window and wait and my mom said he wasn't eating really good the whole time.

Rascal is doing better and I just hope he gets better fast because if you have ever met him he is the happiest dog in the whole world. I decided if something happens to him I'm going to get his paw print tattooed on my somewhere (okay, maybe not, but how cute would that be?!)

A couple things I found out doing some research on the Utah Laws regarding animals:

If I get the dogs that did that to Rascal to chase me I can kill them.

Utah Code Title 18 Chapter 1 says: Every person owning or keeping a dog shall be liable in damages for injury committed by such dog, and it shall not be necessary in any action brought therefor to allege or prove that such dog was of a vicious or mischievous disposition or that the owner or keeper thereof knew that it was vicious or mischievous; but neither the state nor any county, city, or town in the state nor any peace officer employed by any of them shall be liable in damages for injury committed by a dog when: (1) The dog has been trained to assist in law enforcement, and (2) the injury occurs while the dog is reasonably and carefully being used in the apprehension, arrest, or location of a suspected offender or in maintaining or controlling the public order.

Movie Night!

2010-06-30T02:24:00.004-06:00

I just barely finished watching Eclipse!! It was such an amazing movie. I have to admit I HATED Twilight and then New Moon did get a little better... but this one was soooo good!! I recommend everyone to go see it! One of the best parts was that I got to see it with all my Wingers girls. I love them all and we all had so much fun eating junk food and talking for 3 hours before the movie started! (pictures to come) Even though I loved Eclipse I loved the new Harry Potter trailer even more!! I almost cried. November will be a good month!

Movie Night

2010-06-30T02:24:00.001-06:00

Its been a long time.

2010-06-27T01:57:00.002-06:00

I always slack on blogging. SORRY! I actually did blog like a week ago, but right after I did I erased it. It was mostly a bunch of stuff on how Michael is bugging me and making my life really difficult, but those problems are solving themselves these days.

So much has been going on I don't even know where to begin. Summer in Cedar is not as much fun as I thought it would be. I work most of the time, and the other time I am hanging out with the same six people. Don't get me wrong I love hanging out with "the boys". But because me and Michael broke up it's hard to come over and hang out when he is there giving me attitude and trying to fight me on everything I say. (but like I said, I won't have to deal with that much longer)

Things between me and Michael have been getting better. About once a week we get in a big fight again and have to 'talk' to get it out. Last night for example we apparently were yelling so loud at each other the cops were called and ended up busting the party we were at. Two of my friends got under age drinking tickets (but that is another story). Anyway, I hope that's the last time we fight, but knowing how stubborn we both are it won't be.

I almost moved home. I was so sick of being in Cedar and doing the same stupid thing every night that I was ready to talk to Ina and move home for the whole month of July. Bryant made me realize that even if I did leave my problems would just be waiting for me when I got back home. Plus, Wingers in Cedar gets really busy in summer and I would hate to pass up all the money.

USA lost today and it was really upsetting. I watched all their World Cup Games and I really wanted them to make it farther then they did. Oh well, we have 2014 to look forward to. A bunch of us want to go to Brazil for the World Cup... we will see if that happens, but hey, Ill be 24 probably not married and be making a lot of money. So maybe I will go do that.

Finally, I'm going to San Diego for the 4th of July. I am so excited and I can't wait for friday so i can leave Utah for a little bit and clear my head!

2010-05-27T14:22:00.001-06:00

i went to the lake again yesterday, i love summer!!

Oh no!

2010-05-14T13:54:00.004-06:00

Me and my 'littles' and 'grand-little' at formal. They are beautiful, my family is so cool

Me and my boyfriend Michael

My boys that came to Alpha Phi Formal. They are all amazing, I am so happy I get to represent them!

Ha, I was cleaning up the center pieces and I thought it would be funny because Bri only had one rose :D

Some of us with our new Bordeaux Beau Grady!

Me Roz and Sarah on our camping trip before finals.

Sand Hallow!!

Some of the Alpha Phis at Garden House for lunch.

I haven't blogged in forever. I used to be so good at updating my blog, lately I have been a really big slacker. Well, so much has happened!! Where do I even start?

In Alpha Phi I hold the position of Social Chair. In Spring I am in charge of Sisterhood Retreat and Formal. This year they were held back to back. Sisterhood Retreat went really well! I planned everything way in advance so I wasn't stressed about anything! Formal went the same way, I think the day of I was kind of stressed but nothing too big. Everyone said it went really well, and I am so proud of the outcome, it was beautiful and way fun.

My date for formal was my boyfriend Michael. We have kind of been dating for 7 months, but we have only been "official" for a month. Its been kind of a struggle dating him. He works a lot so we don't really see each other a lot, but other than not ever seeing him things are pretty good. We used to live right next to each other so it was easier for us to hang out, but now that I don't live that close its harder. I am going to be in Lehi for about 3 weeks, so we will see how that works out.

I moved into a new apartment. My old place, with my old roommates was just NOT working out. I decided that even though you are really close with someone, some people are just not meant to live with each other. I don't regret moving into that place, I just regret decided to move in with the people I did. I think I lost a friend because of it, but I gained Eric as a best friend so it was so worth it. Anyway, Me Eric and Sarah now live together in a Condo in the north part of Cedar. I love it! We aren't really home a lot all at the same time, but so far everything has been going really good. In the fall Sarah is moving out and Andrew is moving in! That will be tons of fun as well. We are still looking for a roommate for Spring, so if you know anyone :D Oh, I almost forgot to mention the best part about living here! Our landlord is like the owner of the movie theatre, so when we pay our rent on time we get free movie tickets!!

I am getting my tonsils taken out in like a week! I am so scared, I have heard horror stories of getting your tonsils taken out, and I have to say I am not excited. I am glad I won't be having any more sore throats, but 2 weeks of pain doesn't sound good at all. I have heard that people lose a lot of weight when they get them out because all you eat is like jello and soup. Awesome!! I also have to move home for like 3 weeks so have the surgery and get better. Oh and for Miss Lehi. It is such a good feeling not to be in it, I get to enjoy it with everyone else.

Its Summer!! So far I have been having a blast. I have been to sand hallow twice, hiking around dixie rock, and the best part no homework!! I hate school, I really don't want to go back in the fall but I think I kind of have to.

Finally I am like 2 months away from becoming an Aunt! Natalie is so pregnant and I am so excited to get to spoil a little boy!! I am going to be its favorite Aunt :D

Made Me Happy!!

Sigma Chi Formal 2010

2010-03-28T11:39:00.006-06:00

Last night was Sigma Chi's Annual White Rose Formal. Eric my best friend and roommate took me and we had so much fun. Really the whole night I was waiting to see if I won Sweetheart or not.

The Sigma Chi Sweetheart is a huge honor. It is given to a girl who they believe represents their values and what they strive to live up to. I felt honored to even be nominated, and now that I am their Sweetheart, well ... honestly I am speechless!

I held myself together until Eric gave me a flower and hugged me, I love him!

The brothers singing the sweetheart song to me after I was announced Sweetheart!

Trying to be all sexy with our roses.

Me Dylan and Monica. I love them!

My date for the night, Eric!

Me Eric and Jess, love them!

Me, Eric and Michael. I don't know why we decided to do this ha ha.

Me and Michael.

Me and some of they boys. I love them!

Clark! I love him. He is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet.

Possibly my favorite picture of the night, me and all the brothers!

This is my very own Norman Shield that has my name engraved on it!

All the Alpha Phis in attendance!

Sarah! She is one of my best friends!!

Roommates Summer 2010!!

Sarah, Me, and Jess. I love these girls!

I am the happiest and luckiest girl in the world!!! :D

What about this one?!

2010-03-09T13:34:00.002-07:00

Does anyone like this one?

I NEED EVERYONES HELP!

2010-03-08T00:18:00.002-07:00

Let me know what dress you like the most. I have a favorite, but I want to know what others think! Thanks!!

oh no!

2010-02-17T22:25:00.004-07:00

Once again, it has been way to long since I last posted! So much has happened!!

Me and Clark! He is a Sigma Chi and he is so sweet. Me and him hung out at Sean's together and had a blast!

Me and my two littles at Red Dress. They are beautiful. Aubrey actually took a little this semester so now I'm a grand big, my family is growing!!

It was the 4th Annual Red Dress Gala in Alpha Phi! It was so much fun.

It was my Birthday on the 4th! We celebrated it with a Harry Potter themed party. I can't believe I am already 20 years old!!

We got to play in the snow, it was like the last good snow day in Cedar, it was fun but I am so glad its getting warmer.

sad

2010-01-27T10:27:00.001-07:00

Mr Poop died! :( its a sad day in Cedar City.

Updates!!

2010-01-22T02:05:00.003-07:00

I haven't blogged in FOREVER! I'm sorry, its been a combination of being busy and lazy. Mostly lazy I think! Just some updates, and then I promise I will start blogging about my life!

- I moved into a new house with my best friends! Kaily, Alli, and Eric! I love them so much and we are having so much fun! Oh, and I can't forget Dori, Mr. Poop and the late Gilly.

- Classes are going so good this semester. My earliest class is at 10 AM which makes it so I go to all my classes! Im done with week 3 and I haven't missed once! (thats BIG for me!!)

- My room is so cute! Its the best thing about the new house!! I got a new bed and everything for Christmas and I put up all my pictures, got some cute curtains. I will take pictures and upload them next time!

- I still love Alpha Phi! We just finished Rush Week and we have 7 new girls! I don't know all of them, but I know they are all so cute!! I love seeing Alpha Phi grow!

- I get to plan Formal and Sisterhood Retreat this year for Alpha Phi. Plans are already in motion and I'm getting so excited. Brings me back to high school when I helped plan prom!

- I decided I am going to stay in Cedar over the summer and take summer classes. I can't wait for summer in cedar!! ... cliff diving, camping, caving, San Diego for the 4th!

- I also decided I am not going to go anywhere for Spring Break. I want to go to Lake Powell at the end of April and I think I will get it off if I don't take all of Spring Break off.

-Natalie is pregnant! She is due in July and I am so so excited. I kind of hope its a girl because I think a girl will be easier to spoil. I also realized that when I get married I will have a little child running around, thats like the best part!! I already know I will be its favorite Aunt!! :)

-I think the secret is finally out that Rachael is pregnant. She is giving it up for adoption and I think she found a family. I am so proud of her because she knows she isn't ready to be a mom, so she is giving that opportunity to someone else. She said I can be in the room when she has it... I am so excited!! *Oh I should mention its a boy!*

Anyway, I will blog more in the future I promise!!

2009-12-12T22:43:00.002-07:00

Cedar City is super boring with everyone gone. Most of my friends left on Friday and it's only saturday... so I know I am kind of just complaining but I really am so bored. I have closed 3 nights in a row and I close again tomorrow night. It isn't to bad because I'm working but I still miss everyone.

Kaily is in Chicago.

Eric and Brent are in San Diego.

Sarah, Jessica and Cole are in Las Vegas.

I'm coming home the 21st and Im picking up shifts at the Lehi Wingers till the 30th so everyone should for sure come and see me!

New Blog

2009-12-04T10:38:00.002-07:00

So I am part of this group at SUU called STIL (Student Involvement and Leadership). The new website just went up which means that you can read all about me and greek life at SUU. I started a blog last night and if you want you can check it out and leave cheesy comments like "I loved being party of Alpha Phi at SUU" or "I wish I could have been more involved at SUU, this sure does look like fun." Haha thanks!

Tonight

2009-11-24T01:43:00.002-07:00

I wanted to blog about this really fast before I forget or decide not to.

Tonight turned out totally different then I thought it would. For those of you who don't know it was elections for Alpha Phi and for a while I had my heart set on being President. When that didn't happen I decided that I just wanted to be on the EC.

My name wasn't called for any position tonight and I really wanted to cry. We did a senior ceremony and everyone was crying because the seniors were leaving, I was selfishly crying because I didn't get any position. Its really hard when for so long everyone said that I would make a great president and that I would do amazing things for the chapter, and then to not get any EC position at all. Not only was it depressing, it was embarrassing.

It felt like Miss Lehi all over again. I was sitting there not winning anything and had to congratulate the people that did. Everyone was asking me if I was o.k. and telling me they loved me, but really it didn't matter. I was so so sad. I really had no idea what I was going to do.

My plan was to go home eat ice cream and cry. I didn't want to talk to anyone or do anything. Instead me and Kaily decided to go see New Moon. It was amazing! I hated (HATED) Twilight. It was horrible, so I wasn't all excited to see New Moon, but can I tell you...I loved it. Im not a Team Jacob fan, but after this movie I might convert. I loved everything about it.

So, New Moon made me feel a little better. After I got a call from the newly elected Vice President of Program Development Brooke Dudley. She asked me to be SOCIAL CHAIR! I was so excited. I accepted and started to think... social chair is so much cooler than any EC position. You get to plan all the fun stuff and you don't get the stress of EC. Plus I still have 2 more years at SUU, I have plenty of time to be on the EC later... right. And I can learn even more about Alpha Phi and do better in my positions.

Anyway, what almost was a crappy night turned out to be amazing. I'm glad I didn't over react and cause a scene, or make people feel sorry for me. I love my sisters and I know that whatever they decide is best for the Chapter. :)

p.s. i didn't re read this i just posted it, so it might not make total sense!!!

Spring Semester 2010

2009-11-10T12:37:00.002-07:00

I registered for classes finally....

Math1030 - Quantitative Reasoning

CJ2110 - Intro to Private Security

CJ3300 - Victimology

FIN2870 - Personal Finance

I'm also going to register for a Greek Leadership Class. I'm way excited for that one. So far I only have 15 Credits. I kind of want like one or two more. 18 doesn't look like much fun...

I-Days

2009-11-02T14:20:00.002-07:00

This week is I days for Alpha Phi. I days is the week of Initiation when the New Members get to learn more about Alpha Phi and are prepared to become a member. Last year I got to experience it for the first time for myself, and this year I have two little sisters who get to do it now. The ceremonies and rituals in Alpha Phi are some of my favorite things about my Sorority!

This is a picture of my pledge class a year ago. There are only 8 of us now, but we experienced I days all together and I still love them all!

Sleep

2009-10-21T05:22:00.002-06:00

Its five in the morning, and I just got home. Lately I haven't really been sleeping a whole lot. I blame a lot of people... none of them being me. Mostly I blame Kaily :) Ever since we became close I don't ever sleep. I don't know how she lives her life on 4 to 5 hours of sleep everyday. If I don't sleep through my 9 AM class, then I end up taking a 5 hour nap when I get home. I think this has been my best semester at SUU, my grades aren't the best, but that doesn't matter if I love life right? Besides the grades, I love Alpha Phi and all the new members. I can't wait for them to get initiated. Raquel is the best roommate! She just got back from Disney World and brought me a present for watching Otto and Oakley (her two cats) I love Kaily! Even though we don't ever sleep and spend a lot of money at Robertos we always have fun! Oh and I have to add I love Sigma Chi. I have been hanging out with them a lot lately and they are all really nice cool guys. (I do have to say I like Sigma Nu, but since we never hang out I don't have much to say) :) Anyway, that is the end of my late night/early morning blog. Now I am going to try and sleep!

Greek Life

2009-10-14T17:04:00.002-06:00

I found this on the SUU website!

Higher education studies have shown that men and women who join fraternities or sororities are:

more pleased with their college experience
attain higher grades while in college
graduate at higher levels than non-affiliated students
remain active and loyal after graduation

A recent study by the US Government shows that 71% of all members graduate from college while 50% of non-Greeks graduate from college
All but two US Presidents since 1825 have been affiliated
Seven out of ten people listed in Who's Who in America are affiliated
Three-fourths of US Congress is affiliated
Forty-three of the nations fifty largest corporations are under the leadership of a sorority or fraternity member
Eighty-five percent of the Fortune 500 executives are members of fraternities or sororities
Since 1920, 85% of all Supreme Court justices have been members of a fraternity or sorority
More than seven million men and women in the US and Canada are affiliated

SUU VS. NAU

2009-09-20T20:08:00.004-06:00

This weekend was so much fun!

We drove down to Arizona to watch SUU play Northern Arizona University! Meg drove me and Ashley and Raquel, Timian, Courtney, and Caitlin where in the other car.

I love Ashley so so much, Im so glad she decided to come! I love spending time with her!

I just barely got to know Meg and I love her so much! She is so much fun! She drove me down and I love her!

Our hotel rooms had a red heat lamp, so we took a picture under it to show our SUU pride!

John McCain showed up at the game! Me, Raquel and Timian saw him go and sit down and I went over to just take a picture of him, but then ended up going over and asking him if I could get a picture. I was shaking so bad!!!

This is all of us at the game! It was so much fun and we were pretty loud for only a couple of us being there!

We ended up losing, but they played a really good game. Raquels boyfriend Tyson got injured at the beginning of the year and this was his first game back, he made a touchdown and was a huge help in helping the team catch up. It was disappointing because our team did so good towards the end and it ended up being so close.

After the game we went out and got Sushi and Hibachi! I actually tried some Sushi! I ended up spitting it out, it was really weird. It was just crab... but it really freaked me out! After dinner we went and found the Sigma Chi dorms and hung out with them for a little bit, it was so much fun!

Beta Zetas

2009-09-15T22:15:00.003-06:00

Rush ended last friday and we have the most AMAZING girls! I love all of them, and I already feel like I know a lot them so well. I even have a couple littles in mind!

This is all the Alpha Phis! We are once again big!!! We currently have 54 members and I can't see anyone leaving for a while!

After our Bid Day Party Sigma Chi had a dance party at their house. Almost all the new members came! These are some of the cute new girls with me and Kristy! We had so much fun!

After the dance a whole bunch of us went to the mid night showing of Sorority Row! It was a really lame movie, but it was fun seeing it with all the girls... and the 3 Sigma Chis that showed up!

Happy Text

2009-09-11T16:13:00.003-06:00

Brooke: "Noel, the bid day invites are super cute! Good job!! You're so awesome!! It's been fun to get to know you better recently. :) Kim Wisecup and I were talking last night and she went off about how fantastic she thinks you are, so I just wanted to let you know you're incredible :)"

What a sweet girl, this really made my day!

I decided I'm going to send someone a text every day just like this, so they can feel the way I do right now! I challenge everyone else to do the same!

Fall Rush 2009

2009-09-02T23:12:00.005-06:00

Today was the Greek BBQ and I talked to so many amazing girls! I can already tell this Rush is going to be amazing! Every girl I talked to I just loved so much! I'm so excited for Rush Week to officially start.

This is my cute little pledge class (we are missing Mikkela and Brooke) I love them so much and even though we are tiny we are so close! :)

Fall 2009

2009-08-29T01:00:00.002-06:00

I love Cedar City. Wow, I never thought those words would come out of my mouth! :) Just kidding! I've almost lived here a entire month and I'm not even home sick yet! It feels like I have only been here for a week! I miss everyone back in Lehi but being away from all the drama and being out on my own is so refreashing!

School is going....well...ok. I like my classes...they are just soo long! My math class isn't too bad yet. Except since im kind of dumb, im in a class with a lot of stupid freshmen and some of them are so annoying! I honestly feel like im in High school again. Me and a couple other "older" people sit in the back and just try to not pay attention to the loud annoying girl in front. I love my english class! I know its going to be so much fun, even if I have to write long papers. My two Criminal Justice classes are going to be really fun, if I can manage to stay awake for them. I already fell asleep once hah. In almost every class there is at least one cute boy....so thats really exciting!

I am having so much fun living with Raquel. She is such an amazing person and I feel so blessed to be able to spend time with her. If you didn't already know she is the president of my Sorority Alpha Phi and she has already done so many amazing things for Theta Sigma. Last spring we won Organization of the Year from SUU and it really was almost all because of her. I hope that I can be as good of a leader as she is.

Presidential Ambassadors is so much fun! Im a Task Force Leader so im in charge of my own little group and my group is the BEST! They are so excited to be able to give tours and to recruit and it makes me excited! I just love love love it! If we all get certified for tours in 3 weeks then we are having a BBQ!

Natalie will be proud...I signed up for Institute! Im really excited for it. I have alot of things in my life I need to change and I know that Institute will help me get through all the stuggles I have been having in my life.

The only thing that could be better right now is if Me, Lainey Linzee and Lacee where together more! Its so weird to spend almost 24/7 with them and then not see them every day. I miss them and they are still my best friends! Lainey wants to rush...how exciting!

Anyway...I love SUU and this year is already turning out to be better than last. Last fall I didn't really want to be here, and changing my attitude has helped so much!

I also decided for my readers :) that I would throw in a little quote at the end of each blog...kind of to inspire..and to be funny. So enjoy!!

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on so long in the first place."

My Sisters!

2009-08-17T00:43:00.005-06:00

I honestly don't know what I would do without the love and support from my sisters in Alpha Phi! I have been with someone almost every second since the pageant and I haven't really had time to just sit and think about Miss Iron County. I am sad that the outcome didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but thankfully I have so many sisters that wouldn't let me get discouraged!

Right before I left for the school I had tons of facebook messages! (Thanks Ash for the advice!)

Timian and Raquel ran backstage just before I was about to go on and gave me flowers!

I could hear Kristy, Val, Raquel, and Timian screaming for me the entire night, and they even made me a poster!

And after they all told me I did really good.

I don't know really how good I did, but I know that even if they where lying to me, it would only be because they love me! :)

And I of course can't forget my REAL sister Natalie! Thanks sis for being there for me, even when you couldn't ;)

I went into work today and Heather Larson was working with me, I told her about the pageant and how it was hard when people asked me how it went all I can say is. "Oh, I had fun...but I didn't win." Its been really hard not to shout "I LOST OK!?" She told me that I should just start making up stories on why I didn't win....

"Well, I found out I was pregnant right before I went on stage, and I decided to let the judges know."

"The director found out I took some nude pictures a year ago and they told me I couldn't win."

"I decided I should step down and let another girl win, Iron County just isn't a big enough title."

Of course non of these where true, but Heather made it a lot easier for me to tell people I lost.

Anyway, the point is I don't know where I would be today without Alpha Phi. Rush is coming up soon and I can't wait to share Alpha Phi with another pledge class, I feel bad for girls who aren't a part of my sorority because they have no idea what its like to have this big of a family!

Memories

2009-08-12T22:28:00.004-06:00

I found some of these pictures on my Computer and thought it would be fun to show some of them off!
This was one of my best friends at Meadow. Her name is Monet and we both where in Spanish Immersion. My mom would babysit her everyday before school and then after school I would go over to her house and we would hang out at her house. I would sleep over there just about ever weekend. We did alot together, we made dances up to Backstreet Boys, and we learned all the words to "Baby Got Back".

Jarom moved into the ward when I was eleven and I always kind of had a crush on him. It was back in the days when kids would "Go out" which each other, and he was my boyfriend for just about all of Jr. High. There where a group of us that would hang out all the time, and we where in the same ward and all best friends! Me and Jarom liked each other for six years! We are still friends, but the days of love are way behind us!

This is one of my favorite memories of Meadow! It was in third grade and I stole some of my sisters make up and brought it to school for picture day, me and my friend Shantel put it on right before pictures and I thought I was so hott! In the class picture I have so much attitude, its a wonder how I had friends!

Every year my ward would build a float for the the Lehi Round-Up Days Parade. I don't remember why I was dressed up like Raggidy Anne, but even though im way little, I still remember sitting on the float....I don't think I was happy.

Summer 2009

2009-07-27T22:45:00.010-06:00

I haven't, as im sure you are aware, blogged in a LONG time! Alot has happened!!

Miss Lehi is done and over with. I didn't win anything and I was dissapointed for along time.

I truly think I did my best, I just wasn't supposed to be Miss Lehi. I'm still glad I did it, it was a great experience and I got to spend alot of time with Gabby, Kate, and my sister. I am however doing Miss Iron County on August 15th. Im excited for this pageant, and I am pretty sure this will be my last one.

The fourth of July was alot of fun! I hung out with Jesse, Rachael, and Rachaels family. We drove over to Thanksgiving Point and watched the fireworks! Fireworks are my favorite and they where amazing! After we went back to Rachaels house and roasted marshmellows! Rachael had only just moved back from Colorado and I loved finally being able to spend some time with her!

I went to an Alpha Phi Leadership retreat in Indiana for 5 days! I met some of the most amazing girls, and it has made me love and appreciate Alpha Phi so much more! Im so sad that not every girl has the chance to attend. I think it really did change my life, and I made some really good friends that will last forever!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince may be the best Harry Potter movie yet! It doesn't do the book justice, but it was still amazing! Me and nine of my friends went to Jordan Commons where there was everything from Licorice Wands to Butterbeer! I was so excited, and really emotional after the movie was over!! I already can't wait for the next movie, November 2010 baby, who's coming with me?!

The 24th of July was first spent with some of my Alpha Phi girls! Ali had a BBQ at her house and Jessica, Chelsey, Mikkela, Becca, Leslie and Me all showed up! It was really fun even though I didnt stay very long. I loved seeing some of the girls! I've missed them all so much, which is one of the reasons Im so excited to move back to Cedar City!

The next part of Pionner Day me and Sierra went to a pool party with some of her friends. Turned out not to be pool party, but four of us hanging out in a guys pool none of us knew. It was extreamly awkward, and a whole bunch of fun! We spent the night jumping off the diving board, going down the slide, and playing PIG in the pool with the basketball hoop! It was one of the best nights this summer.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SUMMER ISN'T EVEN OVER YET!?

Lately...

2009-05-19T23:45:00.002-06:00

- Miss Lehi is in 2 weeks and I am feeling a little bit scared. Just about my talent outfit...I think thats really the last thing I need, I bought a new Interview Outfit and a new swimsuit. I feel so much better about my talent this year, I have so much fun singing it!!

-I started working at the Wingers in Lehi which has turned out to be alot of fun. Everyone I work with is really nice and its really laid back there, which is good and bad. Alot of the time people don't show up to work, or show up 20 min. late, and they don't get fired! Whats up with that?!

-I live at home...I thought it would be okay, but its turning out not to be much fun at all!!

- I get a new phone tomorrow...its a blackberry pearl...im super excited.

- I really miss Alpha Phi, Wingers in Cedar, SUU, and my friends, I can't wait for fall.

- Harry Potter is in like...50 days, which means Im going to Colorado to see Rach, and before that Im going to Indiana for a Leadership Conference for Alpha Phi (which is all free!)

Ameicas Next Top Model

2009-05-04T21:48:00.004-06:00

America's Next Top Model

The season finale is in a couple weeks and right now its down to four. Allison is my favorite! Fo was my favorite, but she got kicked off last week. Celia is ok, she looks kind of old in her pictures, but she is better than the other two girls.

Hooray!

2009-04-30T21:38:00.001-06:00

Tonight is my last night in Juniper. I'm so happy. I'm sick of this place, and the food in the cafeteria. I think there might come a day when I miss it.... but I don't think that day is going to come anytime soon.

Random Things

2009-04-29T08:19:00.004-06:00

Finals, I haven't even taken a test yet, but Im already sick of them. My first test is in 45min. I should be studying....but decided to blog instead.

I really just want to move back home. I am really excited for Miss Lehi, but Im kind of stressing about it. I think once I get home I will feel better about it.

Lainey and Lacee started blogging. I love it! They are on my list if anyone wants to check out their blogs, so far they blogged about Me and Linzee...so its pretty cool. Check it out :)

Im going to work at Wingers in Lehi....Donna text me yesterday and said she didn't have any server shifts she could give me but I could host friday and saturday...which if you think about it is a horrible idea because I wouldn't make any money. I think Im going to stick with the one in Lehi. (Even though I've heard the management isn't very good...but I've been known to change lives, maybe I can change Wingers)

I'm going to Springdale on Friday. Springdale is this little town by Zions. Lacee lives there and she says its amazing so Im excited to go!

My brother moved to Seattle for the entire summer and didn't even say goodbye to me! How rude is he?!

I stole a whole box of Capri Suns from my house, my mom doesn't know, I think she might be mad. They are really good. Berry Breeze- I highly recommend it.

Morgans Around the Clock Bridal Shower

2009-04-19T23:25:00.003-06:00

Today was Morgans bridal shower for all the girls in Alpha Phi. It was so much fun! We played games, ate really good food, and spend time together as sisters! Morgan looked beautiful as always and she got some really cool presents. The theme was "Around the Clock" so everyone got a present like "Dinner Time", "Game Time", or I got "Lunch Time". It was such a cute idea. I ended up getting her a picnic basket she wanted from bed bath and beyond. I had alot of fun!!My table!! Diana, Roz, Chelsey, Kristy, me and Kalle! I absolutely love all these girls!
Morgan! Like I said, always looking beautiful!

Umm, yeah. One of the games we played. Don't worry I wasn't very good at it.

Arrested Development - Part 2

2009-04-17T14:13:00.002-06:00

Arrested Development

2009-04-15T00:08:00.000-06:00

This may just be the best show I have ever seen. I discovered it about 4 months ago, and I just couldn't stop watching it. Lately I have been watching all the episodes again and they are so funny!! Gob (the one witht he bird) is for sure my favorite character in the show, but all of them are pretty much tied for 2nd place.

Some of my favorite quotes:

Gob: Illusion Michael!, a trick is what a whore does for money.... or cocaine!

Gob: Let me ask you something. Is this a business decision, or is it personal? 'Cause if it's business I'll go away happily. But if it's personal, I'll go away... but I won't be happy

Gob: So you take your mom to work every day? Bummer. Moms are such a pain in the a**, huh? It’s, like, die already!

Gob: Hey, maybe that's it. Maybe we should do to the Japanese what they do in their movies. Build a miniature city, put it outside the window, tell them it's far away. It'll look real if you squint. God knows they're squinters.

GoB: Oh, now you love the Ten Commandments! And yet you're the one who so conveniently forgot "Thou shalt protect thy father, and honor no one above him unless it beith me-thy sweet Lord."

Not only is Gob freaking funny, whenever he does a magic show the song "the final countdown" plays. Its the best!! If you havent watched this how yet I highly recommend it. All the episodes are on Hulu!

Childrens Miracle Network (the link is working now)

2009-04-06T23:21:00.000-06:00

Im trying out for Miss Lehi this year and to be eligible to try out I need to raise money for Childrens Mircle Network. Im halfway there, but I still need fifty more dollars. Please, if you can donate money by following this link:

Thanks everyone!

Im officially a grown up.

2009-04-04T23:47:00.000-06:00

Whenever I eat like a sandwich, or a salad or something I don't ask for the tomatoes or onions on the side. I have really grown to like them. I remember when I was little I thought only grown ups liked them, and now I do which means that I am officially a grown up.

Quote of the Day!

2009-04-01T23:21:00.001-06:00

" I like ducks that can walk.... It makes me think that they can't fly....It's more of a wish really."

Thanks Kristy!

Sisterhood Retreat

2009-03-29T22:07:00.001-06:00

This was my first Sisterhood Retreat and it was so much fun! The point of it is to bond with all your sisters in Alpha Phi and I realy feel like that is what happened. Already, I feel so much closer to most of the girls. I love it because now we all have inside jokes and we shared priceless memories. I love all of them so much and I know that joining Alpha Phi was the right thing for me. I don't think that I would feel like I belong at SUU if it wasn't for my wonderful sisters! Love and AOE!

This is for Davy.

2009-03-26T22:25:00.001-06:00

Whenever I watch ANTM and Benny Ninja is on, I think of Davy.He sure does love that Benny Ninja!

The Lost Movies.

2009-03-25T01:18:00.000-06:00

Some of my favorite movies are movies that people have never heard of, or maybe forgot they existed! So, I made a list of my Top Ten Lost Movies!!

10. Happily Ever After: Weird movie thats like a sequel to Snow White. So good!
9. Angels in the Outfield: Who can forget that classic movie!! (i believe)
8. Beethoven's 2nd: Not as good as the original, but less people have seen this one, so funny!
7. Monty Python and the Meaning of Life: Awesome. Me and Rachael loved watching this movie.
6. Seventh Brother: About a dog who gets lost and bunnies adopt him into their family.
5. IT: Scary clown movie, really weird.
4. Scamper the Penguin: About a penguin who gets lost and almost taken to a zoo.
3. Spice World: Spice Girls...that's all I need to say!
2. Behind the Waterfall: My family was into weird movies, this one was about a leprechaun

1. Saturdays Warrior: Classic Mormon movie that a lot of people haven't heard of. Besides the 15 actors that play all the roles, its pretty good.

SPRING BREAK!

2009-03-22T19:03:00.000-06:00

Spring Break was so much fun!We went to In-n-Out everyday we were there! Grilled cheese animal style is amazing!!The first thing we did on saturday was go to the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach! It was amazing, the ocean was beautiful!

The next thing we did was go to the LA Temple. It was so cool. Its up on a hill higher than all of LA, you could see everything!
We stopped for dinner at California Pizza Kitchen in Hollywood.
I found the place where Daniel Radcliffe put his hand....amazing!!

We also ended up going to Downtown Disney.

N for Noel!!

Monday we went to San Diego and started at the Temple.

This is at the beautiful La Jolla Beach.

Me and Lacee made our way over to this Rock after climbing on smaller ones. Lacee dropped her phone in the ocean, and I feel. It was funny

We couldn't help jumping in the ocean, even with all our clothes on.

Wednesday we went to Knottsberry Farm, it was fun but I got a little sick.

After Knottsberry Farm we made it to the beach just in time to see the sun going down.
We had a competition going to see who good kiss the most boys on Spring Break. This is after our first.
And after the second (thats as far as we got, but me and Lacee still won)
Thursday after a long day of shopping and meeting Laineys famous brother Tyler we went to Orange County so see my Uncle Glehn and Aunt Mary-Beth. I love them!

Friday we spent almost the whole day in Oceanside. I was trying to make a hole so we could bury someone in it, except it didn't work.

My dear friend Lacee

2009-03-11T22:34:00.000-06:00

She wrote this note in my notebook and I just barely found it....

Dearest Noel,

i love your fancy pants. One day you will become something spectacular. Yes, thats right a super FBI agent. All the elephants in Africa wil know your name. There willbe a gigantic rise in crime when you are inducted into the FBI. Do you know why? because people will want to be arrested by the new super fine FBI agent. You will have much success, and you will prosper in more ways than one. You are a beautiful flower Noel. You have bloomed into something bigger and better than anyone could have imagined. Some handsom fox will soon cme your way. He will treat you like a goddess, you know kissing your feet and all that jazz. Lets go fishing soon we may find a buried treasure at the bottom of the lake. Dont worry im pretty sure my grandfather has some pretty heavy duty hooks. Please know that i love you, i even accept you even though you have a weird butt and toes!

Sincerely yours, Lacee

i love her! (she is the one with the purple hair!) (the other girl in lainey! i love her too!)

I'm Happy.

2009-03-05T00:14:00.000-07:00

Today I realized that lately I have been really selfish. Maybe not just lately...but for a long time. I really thought that the world was revolving around me, and if something bad happened it had to affect everyone around me. I know realize how childish that is. Just because something made me upset doesn't mean I need to let the whole world know, just so I can get some sympathy.

I don't know why one bad thing made my whole world seem like it was ending.My life is going so good right now,

-Its I-Days in Alpha Phi and I have already grown so much closer to some of my sisters. I love all of them and whenever I am with them I am so happy. Most people don't understand why Alpha Phi is so important to me but that doesnt really matter, I love it!!

-My brother just got off his mission! I called him the other day and we just talked about what was going on. It was so much fun. I love having him home and having another best friend to add to me life!

-I am part of a group called STIL ( i think) Im going to be representing greek life at SUU, I have a photo shoot soon, I get to blog about activites and just be involved at SUU. I love being involved and am so grateful for this oppertunity!

-Miss Lehi is starting! Last year I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it, but right now I am so PUMPED! I am going to try to get all my paperwork done by Easter! So I don't have to worry about it during finals week or something lame!! Plus my sister is on the Outstanding Teen committe so she is going to be there like the whole time! I am so lucky. :)

-I've been working out and eating better this whole week and it just makes me feel really good and have even more energy!

-My friends are amazing! Even when I was having a bit of a selfish moment my friends where sticking up for me. They didn't have to, but they did....I love them for that.

-I'm going to California for spring break! So far every year...for along time I have done something fun! Mexico, Oregon, New York, and now California! I can't wait.

Anyway.... There are so many reasons why I am happy right now! My life is going perfect and even though it took me a couple days to get back to normal, I think I can finally stop being crazy and sad!

Love all of you!!

Funny!!

2009-02-20T00:36:00.001-07:00

Kristy told me to go to this website called stumbleupon.com and its the best website ever. Its very addicting and it has tons of funny stuff on it. I hope you can see it...I made it as big as I can.

My Birthday!

2009-02-04T18:30:00.001-07:00

Today was the best birthday ever!!

When I woke up I had a big Happy Birthday poster from Lainey, Lacee, and Linzee taped to my door, and they made me a happy Birthday crown!

Cam and Harry came to my work last night and asked me were I wanted to go to lunch, and after deciding the only places in Cedar are Applebees, Chillis, and Wingers we decided to go to St. George.
It was so much fun! First we went to best buy and looked around. My parent gave me a check for my Birthday so I wanted to buy a moive, or a CD or something with some of the money. I ended up getting an itues giftcard.

I already bought a couple songs. I am loving them!
After Best Buy we went to the Mall and looked around. I bought a Jacket that was on sale and I think its so cute! I also bought a new wallet. My other won had seen better days. The new one is a clasp wallet with black and pink checkers on it. I love it, I just wish it had more card holders, you can never get enough of those!

After the Mall we went to lunch at Iggys Sportsgrill. It was so yummy and Cam told the waiter it was my Birthday so they brought me some Ice Cream. :) So good!!!

We still had some time to kill before we came back to Cedar so we went to Dixie Rock and took some funny pictures. It was a great friend adventure.

Not only did they drive to St. George and buy me Lunch, but they made me a yummy cake thats almost gone! Cam made me a mix CD as well. haha

After the P.A. Meeting (where everyone sang to me) I came back to my room and it was all decorated cute with streamers and ballons and my 3 best friends bought me a Fondue Pot! They had chocolate in it and everything and we put rice krispy treats in it, gummy worms, bananas, and pretzels! So yummy!!

My friend...

2009-01-29T16:14:00.001-07:00

I have a new friend. Her name is Brooke. She is so cute! I thought it was worth blogging!

Alpha Phi Updates!

2009-01-20T23:26:00.000-07:00

I haven't written about Alpha Phi for awhile so I thought I would post some updates:

This is a funny picture I was tagged in on Facebook. I was eating cake apaarently! This is actually my family! My big sis, her big sis, and my twin! Arent we so cute! :D

This is the picture they took at elections. It actually didn't take as long as I thought. I didn't run for any elected position but I did get Director of Administration which is a blast!

This is some of us at Alpha Phi Movie night! I've only been to two but they are so much fun. We watched House Bunny the first time, and then this last time we watched Sydney White! Im on the ground doing a peace sign...ha I guess I didn't want to get up.

This picture was taken today at Sarah Wilsons Birthday Dinner. It was so much fun. Kinda sad for the server, we told her there would only be 15 and then like 30 people showed up. Happy Birthday Sarah!

I love Alpha Phi!!

The Unborn

2009-01-12T01:38:00.000-07:00

I went and saw The Unborn on saturday. It was actually pretty scary. I haven't seen a good scary movie since...Shutter I think it was. It wasn't the bloody mess that most scary movies are these days. (which lets be honest, I stil like) But I thought it had a good plot and the characters where really good. It didn't leave me feeling scared after, but it had alot of scary, jumpy parts that really freaked me out. I would for sure see it again, and would recommend it to people who like scary movies. Oh and I should mention that the guy in it is James from Twilight, but he is so good looking in this movie!!

Juniper!

2008-12-30T00:40:00.000-07:00

Since it's Christmas Break still, everyone that lives in Juniper is gone! Its so weird to be in the empty halls of C111. I picked up 3 extra shifts at the wing ding so I haven't really been here a whole lot. Even thought its boring I did find some things that are perks of being here by myself...
1. Not waiting for the shower...not to mention a clean shower!
2. I can pee witht he stall door open. Sounds weird but at 2 in the morning when I need to pee I just don't want shut the door.
3. I can break out in song when Im sitting in my bed late at night.
4. Not waiting to do laundry has been AMAZING!!
5. Waking up and going to sleep when I want, not when everyone decides to stop talking.
6. Parking close!

After all the hard work it finally paid off!!!

I can't believe it took us almost a month to finishthis dang puzzle! I am really glad its over, but I am also kind of sad. Hopefully we get a good one for christmas! There is actually one piece missing but we are working and getting that. We are going to glue it all together and put it up on Harry and Cam's wall.

Crows are everywhere in Cedar City. Whenever I walk to a class I always see at least one. Today one looked like it was going to vomit on my from a top a tree, I almost cried! They are so gross. If I could say one bad thing about Cedar it would be the nasty birds that have taken up residence.

C111

Juniper Hall C111 is the BEST hall in juniper! We are all so close and we have the coolest RA!! This is a picture of us decorating for Thanksgiving! We all made turkeys with our hands! We also have cool things haning up. The south part of the hall is Egypt and te North part is China! We also have the Pyramid of Love with I think everyones name on it with another guy! I love all of them!!!!

Twilight

2008-11-23T01:40:00.000-07:00

So my wonderful manager Ina at Wingers bought Twilight tickets for all the girls at work. Me and Summer showed up at 8:30 thursday night to wait in line to get good seats (some girls from Alpha Phi were in line at 2:30!!) At about 9 Ina showed up and all the other girls followed. It was so much fun hanging out with all the girls from Wingers. The movie was ok, I didnt totally hate it but I for sure didn't love it. Natalie thinks im to critical. I still think everyone should see, most people I have talked to loved it, I don't know why I just didn't. I did win a shirt though before the movie started, so that was cool!!
