Burn Notice

So I am currently obsessed with the TV show Burn Notice. I love it! Basically, while watching it I get to learn about super cool things like how to get rid of the drug lord living next door, or the black market gun runner who is threatening my life. Very interesting, and all done by a James Bond type who has an amazing smile, and is the Robin Hood of Miami. It is a fun show, and I really really wish I were the girl side-kick because she is good with guns and blowing things up. Another benefit of the show is that it is also quite clean (TV-PG). All of this leads to two conclusions:
1. I must find someone who owns the seasons! I need to borrow them!
2. From the bottom of my heart I mean it when I say that if I am not married by the time I am 30, I am going into special forces :)

A tribute to the other gender

So, as many of you know, I didn't grow up with brothers. Maybe that is why I find guys so fascinating and incredibly amusing. They do the strangest things! For example, at FHE tonight, I turned to talk to some of the girls as the activity was winding down, and the next thing I know, there are two guys wrestling to the death on the floor (all in fun of course). I have no idea how that just happened all of the sudden! Weird. :)
I love them all though, and have probably had more guy-friends than girl-friends. In honor of their strangeness, I will post some pictures that I came across today while reading the news.these guys are all chasing a cheese down an incredibly steep hill as it rolls. there were thirty broken bones in last years competition.

This guy has won the world hot dog eating championships six times in a row. And he has no fat on his body. Figures. And he looks so happy :)

Flashback

Today I had the most random flashback to when I was in Paris. It wasn't even a memory of the city, only the hotel, and our very weird bathroom that was was like its own little room made of one continous piece of plastic.
But that memory led to a thousand others that flooded my mind after I started thinking about my study-abroad trip. I love those memories!! I hope and wish and pray a thousand times over that for the rest of my life I get to have those random memories come back to me, even if they are about the strangeness of European plumbing. I think memories are a gift, and I wouldn't change any of mine for the world.

Bliss

I went boating!!! Twice! I love St. George! I love my sisters! (Jess, I miss you!) And I am very sunburned :) hahahaha

Good things about summer school

So I want to start off with a picture of the sandwich that i made this morning. We ran out of baggies yesterday because only heaven knows how I lost the two boxes of baggies that I bought at the store last time... So this morning when I was of course in a rush, I grabbed for the saranwrap instead, and this is what I cam up with. You can barely see the sandwich in there! The edges of the sandwich kept peeking out so I had to just keep wrapping and wrapping, it was all together ridiculous. It was funny :)
So there are several things that I like about going to school during the spring/summer terms.
1. I did my homework by the pool yesterday! I went to class, went to the pool, went to class, and went to the pool again! I think I am going to get very tan this summer :)
2. I can drive to school! There is graduate student parking right outside the Tanner builidng that is available for undergrads during the summer. I feel so cool when I pull up to school and it takes thirty seconds to get to my seat in the classroom from there. What a time saver!
3. I never have to go anywhere on campus besides the Tanner building, and because it is the nicest building on campus anyway, I am a happy camper.
4. Study rooms/everything is always available. Fewer people = fewer lines/more space :)
5. I have a dinner group! Monday-Thursday, I do not have to worry about cooking dinner, except for the one night every three weeks that it is my turn to cook. So because of this, I don't have to shop/spend money on food nearly as often!
6. Um, have I mentioned my SAILING class??
7. For the first time in YEARS, I go to sleep before midnight on a regular basis. Boring, yes, but, extremely helpful for staying awake in my 8:00 am class. My roommates' examples are largely the reason that I do this. I think that Erin goes to sleep at like 10:00 a lot of nights! Crazy!
8. My new roomies! They are all awesome, and I got so super lucky when I picked them!

Marriage is what brings us together today...

It finally happened! Ashley is married! I am so happy for her, especially because she is so happy!

Who knew BYU offered such awesome classes?

I SAIL! I'M A SAILOR! I SAILED!
I am currently enrolled in "Sailing" as a class, which I think is one of the coolest things I have ever done at BYU! Last week, Skipper Steve let me and Paul and Ann into his class, we passed our swimming test, and today we were off, away from the dock, cruising across the water, heading into the sunset - it was a marvelous experience. And it cost me pretty much nothing! The weather was perfect, and sailing is not quite as difficult as I thought it would be, but that was probably because of the gentle winds.
It is so amazing to me that BYU offers this as a class!
