And The World's Worst Blogger Award Goes To...

I truly am sorry, blog world. I am a horrible blogger. I feel like my blog should be taken away.

So, I am now 20. No more being a crazy teenager for me. I'm pretty bummed out, actually. I feel just so old. Anyways, not much exciting about that.

So these past few weeks have been great! October is my favorite! I LOVE dressing up for Halloween! It's been fun to put together costumes from the limited amount of clothing I had left in the clothing challenge. (Which ends this week! I have my Halloween costume tomorrow, and one more skirt, then I'm out of bottoms!) I have come up with some pretty creative ensembles! 

I've also been on dates, (well date, really), and have been writing letters to my favorite missionary! (To all my missionary, or soon-to-be-missionary friends, I promise, you are all not far behind him! You are all fantastic people! I promise I like you all as well!) Mondays are my favorite day, because it's P-day and that means I can email Elder Rogers! The other week, he sent me a song he and his companions preformed/wrote (well, they wrote parts of it). It is awesome! If I ever find a way to put it on this blog, I will for sure! So last week, I sent Jake a picture of me in one of my Halloween costumes with my friend. He showed his old companion who though I was attractive and wanted me to write him. Jake told me not to. So of course, I had to! :P Well, he wrote me back, which I wasn't expecting. Jake also told me that he got a voice mail from him saying he had something super important to tell Jake. When Jake called him back, he just said that I had written him. Haha! Well, that's pretty funny, I think, even if you don't. 

Want to hear another funny story? I'm kinda hesitant to put this on my blog. I don't know who reads it! But here it goes: So there is this thing, apparently, the way you put the stamp on a letter means different things. My roommate told me this, and she only knew that putting it upside-down means "I love you". So as a joke (mostly...) I've been putting my stamps on my letters upside-down, just to see if Jake would notice. Up until the most recent letter, he hasn't said anything. In this letter he asked me why I did that. With a smiley face. Which, for him, could mean he knows what it means. Or it could mean that he doesn't and that he just decided to put a smiley face even though he never does that while writing. Ever. Also, his stamp was placed diagonally to the right. I had to look up what that means. Any guesses? It means: "Will you marry me?" I'm guessing he doesn't know what that means, or if he does, he's just being silly and seeing if I know. Either way, his next letter is getting a stamp placed diagonally to the left. You can guess for yourself what that means. So, who knows, in another week I could be engaged! (I am 100% completely, totally, definitely kidding, by the way. I am not getting engaged to someone I won't see for 20 months when there are so many attractive RM's all around me here in Provo! Also, that would just be wrong to be engaged to a missionary.) (Yes, I am a waiter hater. Ok, not hater, but disliker. Seriously, let him focus on the Lord for two years. Also, don't just sit around for two years! Get to know people! Go on dates! For reals, though, don't shut yourself off from the world.)(Disclaimer: Just to make it 100% clear, I am not, nor was I ever dating Jake. He is seriously one of my best friends, who I just happen to really like. I am not "waiting" for him. Sorry I write about him and talk about him a lot. But we always have been just friends. Ok? Ok. Hope that clears up things.)

Well, back to some more normal (Ha! Me normal? That's funny!) stuff. This month, I found out that I got in to the Advertising Program here at the Y! It really is a difficult major to get in to. I seriously am so excited to start! I've had a few meetings already, and each time, I get more and more excited! Fun Fact: In the advertising program, we actually work with real clients in our classes. Our projects are not just for a grade, they are pitched to clients! How freakin awesome is that?! So cool! I can't wait to start next semester! :) 

Well, it's getting late, and I need my beauty sleep for Halloween tomorrow! 

Peace out, homies!

My acceptance letter for the advertising program!

Jake in the tie that I made for him!

Me in Halloween costume #1: Flapper. Also, Bane.

Flapper again.

Halloween costume #2: Audrey Hepburn

Breakfast at Tiffany's. Also, the most "like"ed profile picture I think I've ever had on Facebook.

Halloween Costume #3: Princess. Yes, I know this is almost exactly what I wore to Prom, ok? Get over it. I'm a Princess.

This is the video I made as part of my application for the advertising program. :)

Seriously, free stuff is my favorite! :)

Also, sorry I've been super lame about blogging. I'm really busy! But I have at least 25 more days worth of clothes left in my challenge! (Seriously, how does one have this much clothing?) I'm going to try to be creative and through the end of October!  We will have to see!

The Birthday Coupons I've printed out so far!

Oh, Hi There

Well, I just want to let you all know that I am alive. :) I have been super busy the last coupe of weeks, so that is why I haven't been blogging. I pinky promise that I will try to be better. I really enjoy sharing my life with you, I just don't have the time!
These past few weeks have included synchronized swimming, applications, work, school, friends, friends, friends, broken phones, dressing up like pirates, and creative outfits. My clothing challenge is going strong! It's been interesting to try to plan out outfits. I need to take into consideration the weather, how many Sundays there are, what I'm going to be doing the whole day, and if I really want to wear something or if I want to save it for later.
I am absolutely loving this year so far. My ward is crazy awesome! I am excited to get to know them all even better!
Well, when I get around to it, I will post outfit pictures. (I've only missed pictures a couple of days, when my phone was broken.)
See ya!

Tomorrow's The Day!

So tomorrow is a pretty big day. I am starting my sophomore year at BYU, and I am starting my clothing challenge!

So here are the rules (and exceptions) I have set for myself.
1) Well, there is really only one rule: don't repeat articles of clothing (shirts, skirts, shorts, pants, dresses, cardigans, blazers, legggings, tights)!
Exceptions: if the outfit I am currently wearing is inappropriate for an activity I need to do (like if I'm going hiking (haha, yeah right.) or going on a date (haha, yeah right again) or something) The unique outfit must be worn for a majority of the day, though.

Ok, well here I though this was going to be this long, extravagant post, and it's super short.

Oh well.

I need to go to bed now!

Good Night friends! And if anyone is starting school tomorrow, good luck!

:)

Wearing Wednesday (A day late)

So, I haven't really taken outfit pictures since I've been here in Utah. I took some today, but I'm not loving my outfit as much as I thought I did when I put it on this morning. I don't know what it is.

Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago! That day I saw Hairspray, to be exact! I absolutely loved this outfit! I know I've worn it before and I'll wear it again. It's that good. :)

What I'm Wearing:

Shirt: Charlotte Russe

Pants: Forever 21

Necklace: made from an old shirt from K-Momo

Bracelet: gift from Grandma from Jerusalem

Shoes: Payless

I love this necklace! I wear it so often and always get compliments on it! It was the easiest DIY ever! I will post before and after pictures sometime! :)

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.

Has it really been this long since I posted?

Hey, I don't know why I haven't posted in a while. Really, I have no excuse. And I'm sorry.

This isn't going to be a very long post, but I want to inform you I'm in Provo! I guess I was busy at home packing and getting ready to move into an apartment (not a dorm!) for the first time. Also, I had to get together with friends for the last time and such. So that is my excuse.

I am loving my apartment. It's older, but we have new couches (thank goodness, some other apartments have the old ones still and they are hideous!), a newer microwave and oven, and everything seems to be in working order. :P One roommate is moved in, but in California for the week. Haley and Julianne are moving in this week! (I am so freaking excited it's not even funny!) I'm not completely alone because my roommates friend is staying here in her place for the week until she can move into her apartment in Idaho.

I have way too much stuff and I feel like I have taken over the whole apartment. I mean I'm kinda the only one here, so I'm sure once everyone else gets there stuff here, I won't feel like I've taken over.

I'm also really excited to have the rest of my wardrobe back. :)

Yeah, so hopefully a lot more outfits will be coming.
But we'll see.
I might be too busy for that kind of stuff.
But probably not.
:)

Oh, and by the way, I am now a red-head again. I feel more normal with red hair than with my natural brownish-blonde.
