Catching Up on Stuff...

So, I've been pretty busy as of late. What with packing up my life and moving to Utah. Can I just say, I'd much rather pack things than unpack. For serious. Unpacking takes so long! You have to figure out where everything is going to go, make sure you don't take up too much space since you are sharing it with three other girls, and then re-organize everything because you don't like where you put it the first time. When you pack, you know where everything is going: in the suitcase. So easy!

So, since my last real post, (I don't count that last post), I was nominated for a Liebster Award! Basically, you get nominated, then you nominate more people, then the nominate people and so on! Its a great way to get the word out on newer and smaller blogs! I was nominated by Sara at de l'Etoile, who, by the way, is super sweet and adorable not only on her blog, but also in person!

So the rules to this award are:
1. Link back to the person who nominated you.
2. List 11 facts about yourself.
3. Answer the 11 questions posted by the person who nominated you.
4. Nominate up to 11 bloggers who have 200 followers or less.
5. Ask your nominees 11 new questions.

So for my 11 random facts:
1- I don't like milk. At all. Not even with cereal. (And no, I do not eat cereal with water, I just don't eat it.)
2- I can play guitar. Kinda. I'm teaching myself some songs on guitar.
3- I wish I wasn't so lazy. But I seriously have no self motivation. Its pretty bad.
4- I work well under pressure. I can procrastinate, because when I do, I get things done.
5- I miss performing. I used to perform all the time with Synchronized Swimming and Color Guard, but now, I have nothing to perform, and I'm sad.
6- I have only been to 5 states. I don't consider that very many. (The are Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, and Florida)
7- I have only been out of the country on Cruises. And those were only to Mexico, which is on the same continent at the US, so I don't think its very exciting.
8- Idealistically, I like older guys. But in reality, I've like a lot of younger guys. I guess I'm a cougar in more ways than one! ;) (Get it? Cuz I go to BYU, and I tend to like younger guys!? Haha!)
9- Upon meeting me, people usually think I'm really, off-puttingly, weird. But if they get to know me, people think I'm even weirder, but love me for it.
10- As weird and outgoing as I am, I don't like talking to people I don't know. I love it when people I don't know talk to me, though, I just don't like initiating it. I don't know why, it just happens.
11- My favorite food is Lobster. I have expensive tastes. :P

Next, the questions Sara asked!
1. What do you like to do for fun? I sew, try to teach myself guitar, go on Facebook and Pinterest, watch TV (Big Bang Theory is my favorite), and yeah.
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Married. Maybe with a kid. Living on the beach in Australia. (Ok, that last part is just a fantasy...)
3. What is your biggest pet peeve? I have a lot. One is when I'm playing Dominion and the cards aren't lined up right, or they are the wrong way in the deck. Another is being single. :P
4. If you had to pick one piece of clothing to wear in every single outfit for the rest of your life, what would it be? Can I pick a bra, or is that cheating? ;) If not, I'd pick a white cami. You could wear that with anything.
5. Do you have a favorite hangout spot? Uhmmm... in Arizona, my house was the hang out spot. last year, I liked hanging out in the Tanner Building playing games and watching movies. I don't have one for this year yet.
6. First ten people you'd invite to your Fantasy Dinner Party? Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, James Marsden, Shane Harper, Taylor Lautner, Ricky Ullman, Logan Lerman, Ryan Gosling, Some cute Australian guy, Danny Phantom (yes, the cartoon. This is fantasy, right?)
7. Favorite Olympic sport? No brainer- Synchronized Swimming!
8. Skirts, pants, or rompers? Skirts
9. Do you relate better to your mom or your dad? Well, I tend to get along better with my mom now that I'm all grown up. But I'm kinda a daddy's girl at heart, even though I might not seem like it.
10. Favorite color combination? Purple and Teal! (Especially with my red hair!)
11. Where do you shop at most often? Saver's. No doubt. I am addicted.

Ok, so here is where I nominate people. But here's the deal, I don't know very many blogs with less than 200 followers. I just don't. so for right now, I am nominating one person! Olivia at Headed Somewhere Happy! (If I want to nominate more people, I will update here!)
So Olivia, here are your questions, my dear!
1. What is your favorite color to wear?
2. If you could only listen to three songs for the rest of your life, what would you listen to?
3. Would you rather travel to a beach or a forest?
4. What is your ideal weather?
5. Who is your role model?
6. What would be your last meal if you were on death row? (Not that you'd ever be on death row...)
7. What is your favorite book series?
8. What cool things would be included in your dream home?
9. What is your favorite (cheesy) pick-up line?
10. If you were granted one wish, what would it be?
11. What is your favorite number, and why?

Anyways, now that I am all settled in Provo, I am really wanting roommates. Haley came down to Provo to visit me today! Ok, so not just to visit me, but she probably stayed as long as she did because of me! :P We switched one of the beds in out room with one of the beds in the other room, and let me tell ya, that one little move added soooo much extra space to our room! (Our room, which is smaller came with beds that have huge wooden frames and headboards. The other room just had normal metal frames and boxsprings. With the switch, we can now have both of the beds in our room up against a wall instead of having one stick out into the middle of the room! And the other room doesn't have to change their set up at all! Win/win for everyone!) We also went to campus for to buy text books and eat lunch. Then we chilled out in our apartment until Haley had to go home. Goodness, I missed her! She and Julianne both move in Friday! I am so excited to see Julianne! These girls are seriously the bomb! (I don't ever use the phrase "the bomb" but it just seemed to fit.)

In other news, I discovered that I can, with my current wardrobe make 50+ outfits without repeating a single piece of clothing (not including shoes. I have a lot, but not quite that many). So, I am going to try something out. Starting Tuesday, when classes start, I will wear outfits without repeating an article of clothing until I run out. I'm thinking I will run out of bottoms long before I run out of tops. I should be able to get through October. Let's see how this goes... (I will try to get a picture every day. Key word, TRY.)

Ok, and lastly, it's YouTube Tuesday! So here ya go. This is embarrassing. But yeah. It happened.
And that my dear friends is what happens when white, Mormon girls try to rap.
