This One's for you Jess

So ever since the beginning of this month, I have been scrapbooking. A long lost talent and joy that I used to find myself doing a lot. My friend, and now cousin-in-law Katie (who married my favorite cousin), invited me over one day to scrapbook with her and our friend Michelle. And ever since then i've been on this scrapbooking kick. And since that wonderful day where I started to scrapbook, I have bought more scrapbooking supplies, updated my scrapbook due to the fact that duct tape just wasn't holding the last one together very well, and also more time to view photos. Which the later one takes me down memory lane a little more.
So here is the picture for today:

This is a picture from Christmas of 2006. This is me and my friend Jessica, who at the time was my room mate at the time. What we didn't know before this picture was taken was that we would be on the same flight out of utah. I had left early that morning, caught a bus from idaho down to utah, and then sat in the airport for a good 4 hours before I ever went through the gate and to my waiting area. Only to find myself there with my roomie. It was a really funny coincidence. We both knew that we were flying out of the SLC airport that evening, we just hadn't made the connection of us being on the same flight. This photo brings back good and bad memories. That semester was definitely a rough one with room mate drama, and other things. If it wasn't for the company of Jessica that semester, I don't know what I would've done. Jessica and I had met our first semester at BYU-Idaho. She was one of my first roommates, amongst Alissa Mortensen, and Megan Lake. We had a lot of fun those couple of years, and I still think of us as the Fab 4 :) Love those girls....

Having fun with a Head on a pole (This one is a story within its self...ha ha good times with a manican head...We would visit people around campus with this head, trying to get them creeped out or answer their doors with only this head :) Good times )

Reminiscing

So after "spring cleaning" my external hard-drive of repeat photos, I thought I would start up something new on my blog. I thought I would pick a favorite picture from my hard-drive and reminisce about it, explaining the story behind the photo. So here we begin.....







One of my most favorite movies is called "Better Off Dead". Lane Meyer is a depressed teen who looses his girlfriend Beth. This is her reason for the split; "Lane, I think it'd be in my best interest if I dated somebody more popular. Better looking. Drived a nicer car." Anyway, poor Lane is left alone and thinks up treacherous ways of killing himself. He finally meets a French beauty called Monique and falls for her. Simultaneously, he must endure his mothers terrible cooking which literally slides off the table, his disgusting next door neighbour Ricky (and his mum) and he must prepare for the skiing race of his life - to get his old girlfriend back! So why wouldn't this be anyone's favorite movie? All I can say is don't knock it till you see it.
Anyways in college, I would introduce any of my roomates each semester with this movie. Well it was a total hit my first year of college in Perkins Hall, up at BYU Idaho. My room mates at the time: Michelle NeSmith, and Natalie Johnson, were great participants as well as some of my neighbors: Danielle Doutre and others.
There is a scene in the movie where depressed Lane is in the bathroom cleaning out his ears with Q-tips, and then gets carried away with sticking q-tips everywhere else including his nose and mouth. Then his Dad who is worried that things his son is going insane, walks in and sees Lane with all of these q-tips in various spots on his head. Great scene. I am not sure if Dani, or Michelle really got the point of it all, but it was still a fun activity, and I loved our random activities in that apartment.
This one is for you girls :)

Black Tights...The New Fashion?

So last night as I was closing my shift, my co-worker and I were heading back to our station so I could clock-out. On our way back there was another cast member walking back to the shuttle. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt, those black tights ans oggs....I am not a big fan of the black tight fashion. I started laughing because her tights were see-through, and I could see her black cheek hugging thong....Oh yes. Even though it was dark outside and raining, it was still very clear to see. My co-worker was laughing too. I asked him what was so funny, wondering if he just saw what i saw, and he wouldn't tell me. So when we made it back to our base to clock out, I asked him if he saw it. And he did, we both started laughing. I was going to tell the girl, but she was a fast walker, and there were too many people around. I didn't want to embarrass her with a scene. I guess, that is the risk girls take in wearing black tights, and black tights only....
