The infamous BYU GAME

2011-02-02T10:45:00.008-07:00

My birthday was the 24th. I knew the BYU vs. #4 ranked San Diego basketball game was coming up. I called my dad to see if he would give me his tickets for my birthday.... He and Jace laughed at me... YEAH RIGHT.

Dang it!

I knew it was going to be a good game so I really wanted to go. Finally, when I thought I had given up the DAY of the game, my boyfriend, Chris (whome I loveeeee) called me and told me he got us tickets for my birthday! Yaaay!

I was extactic! I was even able to wear my NEW vintage BYU sweater Jace gave me for my birthday.

Chris and I before the game

It was a really close game all the way through. We sat at the very very tip toppiest row. But I didn't care! I was just so glad I could go. It was fun so see all the fans and people-watch through-out the game during timeouts. The crowd was LOVIN' IT!!

We finally pulled ahead at the end and ended up winning. YAY! Everybody was freaking out. The cops put up a rope bordering the court to try to prevent fans from storming the court. It failed miserably. We were cracking up watching the fans try to storm the court and run into the rope like a glass door they didn't see. Or, jumping over the rope and tripping. Watching the cops chase after a couple of the fans chasing them around the court. It was really funny.

Chris and me after we won and the fans stormed the court

It turned out a REALLY fun night. Thank you Chris for the tickets!

Christmas Sweater

2010-12-06T13:48:00.008-07:00

I just bought this sweet sweater for my boyfriend on E-bay. Yes, I know it's ugly. DUH! That's the point! It's so riduculous it's fabulous!

Wanna know how much I bid for this sucker? $10.49. And I won. WOOT WOOT!

Famous?

2010-10-09T14:27:00.003-06:00

I was featured on the highly popular blog Ruffling Feathers this week! I've known the writer of the blog (Emily Frame) for about 10 years. Her husband, Russ, lived with us while he was in High School and is Jace's best friend.

I'm starting to build up my clientele for my Massage Therapy business and told Emily that if she featured me on her blog, I would give her a free massage. (If your interested in that deal let me know.) But it's been exciting getting calls from people to schedule an appointment and getting my name out there.

Want to schedule a massage? I offer extremely affordable rates and it's literally a STEAL! Book now while my rates are still low!

30 minutes: $25
60 minutes: $35

So don't worry the AIR CONDITIONING decides to go out the hottest week of the year.

My mom is visiting Angela (who was induced tonight) and the day after she leaves, this happens.

The house is a sweltering 87 degrees. I'm dying. Abby's dying. It's the PITS. (no pun intended)

Obsessed.

2010-05-18T14:08:00.008-06:00

So... I am obsessed with Forever 21. Every single day the add at least 20 new items to their inventory and don't worry I check every single day.

I love looking for modest clothes. It makes me happy when I find something. (Some things you have to wear with a cami underneath or leggings but you get the idea)

Here are some of my favorite finds.

TMI?

2010-05-11T23:36:00.005-06:00

So, I have been thinking a lot lately. There are a lot of things I don't post on this blog (personal things.) Things about me, what my family is going through right now, to what life is like to be me. Because I'm different then most people. This is something I would talk about in the blog is how I'm different.

I have been thinking about slowly starting to share these things on this blog. Because they could help other people. However, I worry about sharing too much. I don't want to say something that might hurt someone close to me but I feel like this could be a good way for me to heal.

What should I do????? Should I share all of this information with people and my feelings on it and get really personal???? Or no? Do people not really WANT to know what's going on.

I need advice.

Leave a comment and let me know.

PS
Stay tuned. This blog could getting pretty intense here pretty soon.

Wedding Invitations or BUST

2010-04-29T11:29:00.008-06:00

As many of you know my brother is getting married to the beautiful Jenne Gampe on May 22nd. I have spent the last couple of days helping them get their wedding invitations finished. There were 400 and they took FOREVER.

The worst was having to peal the double sided tape off.

We estimated Jace spent about $150 on double sided tape.

Then, with only 50 invitations left we realized you could buy Western Family Double Sided Tape for only $2.50 compared to the $6.50 Jace was paying.

Poor Jace.

I'm curious what everyone spent on their wedding invitations.

I HAVE BEEN DYING!!!!!

After 3 weeks I still open the fridge, see a Dr. Pepper in there (not mine other peoples) and really have the strongest urge to drink it!!!

I miss soda so much!!! I'm dying here!

The debate

2009-08-27T17:11:00.005-06:00

So I'm dying here. My whole life I went without drinking soda. Then, when I started school I started drinking Dr. Pepper to stay awake... and I have become

A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D!

I went to the gym for the first time in a long time, and I have gained weight since I started drinking Dr. Pepper. Granted, I haven't gone to the gym as much. But I'm not loving this at all.

So, yesterday I tried Diet Dr. Pepper. I didn't like it as much but it wasn't bad. I've heard the debate of Diet vs. Regular and so now I'm wondering.... which one should I drink? I think Dr. Pepper tastes better, but is it making me gain weight??? WHAT DO I DO!?!?! HELP!!!

When I grow up

2009-08-02T16:56:00.010-06:00

Okay everyone.

So... I am pretty much DONE with school. I just have one more class to finish and I will be done-zo. Miss Candy Anderson will be an official Licensed Massage Therapist.

Would you have guessed this is what I would have ended up doing?!? No, me neither.

People ask me all the time, "Why did you want to become Massage Therapist?"

So let me give you some background....

When we are little, some will ask us,

"Dear little Sally, what do you want to be when you grow up?!"

You might have replied some of these things: A doctor, a fire-fighter, judge, lawyer, policeman, nurse, chef, teacher.... etc.......

What would I reply?

"A mom!"

Yes, call me a cheesy, dorky, nerdy, mormon girl... but it's true.

As I got older I became confused in school when they were talking about careers and "mom" wasn't an acceptable answer. But, as I got older I understood the importance of education.

Nobody expects divorce. But it happens. What if at some point I were married and something were to happen to my husband? How would I provide for my family?

I've always been interested in Massage. When I was in High school I looked up on websites how to massage people because my family would always come to me asking me to get a knot out here or massage their hand etc...

About a year ago it hit me. Why not a massage therapist? I could basically support (whenever or if ever the time comes) my husband while he goes to school off of my salary working at a spa. When I wanted to start a family I could start my own private practice. Hopefully, there could come a point where I could be a stay-at-home-mom but it would be nice to know that if times ever got tough I could start taking more client's... etc. If "Jimmy" has a baseball game... I just don't schedule an appointment.

That is why I decided to become a massage therapist. Because, it's a good career to have and be what I want more than anything in the world, a mom [someday]

What did you want to be when you were little????

This song and me.

Sooooooooo..................................... um........

Yep, it's over. I do know that it is  right  and that    it is supposed to be that way.
I just have faith.

But................. for now, I am going to be pathetic and feel sorry for myself.... ;-)

.........................and that means listening to cheesy Rascal Flatt songs!

Festival of Colors

2009-04-06T00:36:00.030-06:00

Last week I had the chance to experience (for the first time) the "in" thing to do as a Student here in Provo, Utah--Attend the Festival of Colors.

If you don't know what this is, here is an article explaining a bit of what it's about.

Thousands chanting, flowing robes, and an ornate Hare Krishna temple. You might think you were in India or another country from the Far East. Utah Valley probably wouldn’t be the first place to come to mind.

But every year, the Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple in Spanish Fork celebrates the beginning of Spring with the Festival of Colors, or Holi, as it’s called by the Krishna devout.

The festival is open to everybody, and practicing Krishnas find themselves a small minority in the crowd. On Saturday thousands from the surrounding area, including BYU and UVU students, gathered to celebrate.

The big draw at Holi isn’t the bonfire or the band, but the multi-colored powders thrown over everyone at the festival. After the recitation of a traditional Krishna story, the effigy of a mythical witch is lit on fire, and an explosion of colors engulfs the crowd.

People attending Holi buy bags of the powder in pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, and almost any other color imaginable. When the time is right, nobody is safe from the colors getting in clothes, hair, and faces.

Here are some of my pictures me and my friends took.

The Interview

2009-02-19T22:52:00.008-07:00

HI!!! This is Jason, Candy was telling me that people had questions for me and I have never been much of a "blogger" but I would be happy to answer your questions:

#1)

Question:
Do his feet get sweaty in day to day activities? Are his socks damp by the end of the day?

Submitted by: Savannah Gardiner

Answer:
Ummm, well although I have never really measured the dampness of my socks, at the end of the day I am gonna say no on that one!

#2)

Question:
What do you like MOST about Candy?
Submitted by: Sierra

Answer:

Now, if it was, "What do you like about Candy?" That's easy. But, "What do I like MOST?" .... I would have to say that smile on her face right before she jumps into my arms!

My comments:

We have a long distance relationship and we take turns driving up to either Rexburg or Provo so when I see him for the "first time" there's always a huge smile on my face and I always run and JUMP into his arms.

#3)

Question:

What is Jason's favorite Disney movie?
Submitted by: Natalie Bennion

Answer:
Aladdin - hands down. Because it always gave me hope to know that a "street rat" like myself, could fall in love with a Princess and still have things work out in the end! Oh, and Jasmine is gorgeous.

#4)

Question:

How many children would he like to have?

Submitted by: Kirsten Kraeson
Answer:
As many as my wife is willing to let me have and as many as I can afford.

#5)

Question:
On a scale of 1 to 10, (1 being not at all, and 10 being extremely) how awkward did he feel when I hugged him after knowing him for 2 seconds? Tell him to think carefully. It's a tough one.
Submitted by: Cassie

Answer:
Two. It really wasn't that awkward at all! I hug people I have only known for a little bit too, so it's not a big deal to me!

#6)

Question:
What is his favorite sexual position?
Submitted by: Anonymous

Answer:
With my wife...!

Here are some more questions he has yet to answer, comment to add more to the list!

Question:
Is Candy a good kisser?

How does he treat his mother?

Meet Chet

2009-01-15T16:52:00.011-07:00

I realize I have a pretty diverse audience of followers that read my blog. As many as you know, I'm Mormon, or LDS. Recently, us Mormons haven't been getting a very good reputation in the press (especially in California) due to the Church's support and donation towards the passing of Proposition 8. (Defining marriage solely between a man and a woman.)

Every year MTV puts in a new cast of strangers picked to live in the same house and film a reality series about them and how they get along. MTV recently cast a Mormon for this season of the "Real World."

Meet Chet.

Don't let his look fool you: Chet is not your typical punk rock party boy. Despite his tight jeans and affinity for neon clothing, this 23-year-old University of Utah frat boy is one of 10 children in a strict Mormon family. Recently single, Chet's flamboyant style and energetic personality always makes him the life of the party. Still, that doesn't mean he'll compromise his firm beliefs: no alcohol and no premarital sex. Chet won't chug beer with his fraternity brothers, but he'll take care of them when they get drunk, and sometimes that means playing a prank or two. A die-hard Republican, he is not one to shy away from voicing his opinions and standing up for what he believes in.

I watched one of the episodes with my best friend and her husband and he seems like a good guy. He's metro sexual and dresses nice and was questioned the first episode if he was gay. (To which he shot down all inquiries.) But I'm excited to watch him this season.

Let me know what you think.

A good thing for Provo

2008-12-08T01:41:00.011-07:00

My Uncle is running for Mayor of Provo!!!

I'm so excited! I copied this post from my cousin, Kirsten's blog to let you all know a little bit more about this amazing man. The other day 700 letters were sent out announcing he will be running for mayor. In the letters he says:

"I have decided to run for Mayor of Provo in 2009. I am running for Mayor to help ensure a strong and vibrant future for Provo and because I agree with Edmund Burke who said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Provo is facing a crossroads and, as with all similar opportunities, the question is: Will we rise to meet the challenges? My campaign will present a positive vision to Provo voters. I worry about the lack of civility in our system. I will champion solving issues we face through openness and inclusiveness. My administration will take the best ideas no matter where they come from. Passion and hard work, not politics, is how I approach issues. I will stand for safety in the community, build unity at all levels, and bring in businesses that will help our city by providing good-paying jobs and provide the economic base we need for the essential services of our City."

Along with my cousin Kirsten, I remember helping out with his campaign years ago. That was so fun to see our whole family pull together and help support him. It taught me a lot about politics at the age of 14.

My Uncle is a really great guy and I know he comes from a great family, as well as the one he has helped raise. I hope he knows I support him anyway possible and I encourage everyone to get to know their local Politicians running.

Grumpy me.

2008-12-04T05:20:00.013-07:00

#1 reason why I want to live in space.

Gravity.

That way... when you have a cold in space you don't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night to turn over so the other nostril can share in on some of the joy of breathing.

This is what I have concluded.......

Earth = Gravity

Gravity + stuffed noses + sleep = uneven uncomfortable nostrils

Uneven uncomfortable nostrils = grumpy me

Tut-tut... it looks like rain!

2008-11-02T16:06:00.027-07:00

This afternoon as church got out we all routinely made our way upstairs to head home. As I approach the glass doors heading outside I note in my head there is a fairly large gathering of people socializing today after church.

As I bounce toward the glass doors I glance outside and stop dead in my tracks-it is pouring outside.... and I mean pouring. I look down at the floor inside the building and realize that even with the ceiling above-the rain found it's way into the building.

I wait a second to take in the damage of brave students just arriving at church and take note that it isn't good. I spot a pretty girl (who probably spent about 45 minutes straightening her hair this morning) gather up her tangles of once beautifully straight hair and wring gallons of water out of it.

I look around at all of the people around me and realize that nobody is wanting to go outside into this madness. Even the men are waiting, hoping somebody who was smart enough to bring an umbrella this morning, will offer to share.

Girls start flirting with the male closest to her - hoping he didn't remember how she had been ignoring him all month and would be entranced enough to take off his suit jacket for her to cover her head with as she dashed out into the pouring rain.

I laugh to myself and think.... "Silly people! It's only a little of rain!" As I start to open the doors, I really take in how wet it is outside. Puddles make up my next 30 feet of distance-none of which is possible to be avoided. Rain drops are pouring down into this lake of madness and bursting back up into the air what looked like about 5 feet.

Flashes of me getting ready this morning and wrapping my hair around the curling iron for what felt like 3 hours flood through my memory. Suddenly, the dress I am wearing becomes my favorite dress I have ever owned and I'm not sure how I can stand to allow it to get wet. I curse myself for not having a boyfriend as I watch one of the guys tell his girlfriend he'll go get the car and pull it around for her.

I stall for about 20 minutes and realize this storm will not cease until I come out.... but reminders of my newly acquired favorite dress (within the last hour) and flashes of me spending 7 hours curling my hair this morning pound through my memory.

I come to the conclusion that, sadly, there is absolutely no way I can ruin this favorite dress and favorite hair. I start walking around the building looking for something to cover my head with as to shield the damage. I am unsuccessful the first 8 rooms when I walk into what looks like Heaven and glance over to the garbage (not really sure why that was in Heaven) and I see Indiana Jones popping out. I'm not really sure why that is in Heaven either but I decide to take a closer look. As I inch closer I realize Indy's home is indeed an ad on a PIZZA BOX!!!

I get excited as I yank the Indy and the box from it's home called the trash can and carry it with me back to where everyone else is still congregated. As I open up the pizza box, I barely pay attention as a piece of half eaten crust falls onto my head.

I know everybody in that building is looking at me at envy as I strut outside into the rain-made "lake" with my hair still bouncing perfectly.

"Oh, clever me... clever me!" I think to myself as smugly smile to the 4 drenched girls running to their car.

Bad Apple

2008-10-27T23:18:00.011-06:00

So I just spent all of my money for this week's grocery's on about 10 amazingly beautiful looking apples.

BIG MISTAKE!!!

These apples were H U G E and I mean big. They looked so perfect! They were mostly red in color with s.p.l.o.t.c.h.e.s. of yellow and green mixed in there (not like the picture.)

I'll tell you... if there were a Miss Apple Pageant...(like Miss America Pageant) these apples were bred to win it. They were perfect in appearance. Flawless in color and easy on the eye.

However, they would have failed the interview part of the pageant... because I'll tell you- I took one bite into that apple and my mouth mushed into it. It was like seeping my teeth in pudding. I fell for this apple's trickery and I am ashamed.

So I am asking you, my bloggers to help me with my trouble and woe.... What apples are best?

Acquired OCD

2008-10-01T11:17:00.010-06:00

I know some of you are going to laugh at this. But as I have become older I have become more and more O.C.D.

Definition:

A psychiatric disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions, such as cleaning, checking, counting, or hoarding. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), one of the anxiety disorders, is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person's life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome.

Okay, granted it's not that bad... but slowly and slowly disorganization and mess has become to really bother me.

And it's annoying!

Things that I don't like:

Things that I like:

My poor room mates are starting to hate me. Every time a dish is left out, "Is this yours?" Granted, I do say it nicely... but IT JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY!

I think I clean the house at least once a day. And if I don't, I silently go crazy in my head hoping one of my other room mates will.

Happy 31st Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!!

********************************
About 31 years later, my moms oldest daughter was looking

for her own wedding dress

And we found it!!!! Trust me, it's beautiful. She looked so elegant in it and it was just so "ANGELA!" We weren't allowed to take picture s of the dresses.

I'm so excited I was able to go and share that experience with my oldest sister. It meant a lot to me. Enrique is perfect for her and if you haven't met him yet, you will at the wedding... you will know what I mean.

After purchasing the dress... (another reason I am glad I went. Now I know what my budget limits are for my dress when I get married. tee hee)

Welcome to Cougar town.

2008-09-19T01:25:00.010-06:00

Angela and Enrique set their date for their wedding.

Saturday, November 22nd 2008.

They booked the temple time.

They booked the reception hall.

They told family.

Family was not happy.

Family is incapable of hosting an event on the day of a BYU football game.

The Father of the Bride would go missing.

Groomsmen would be very grumpy.

Cousins would not attend.

Uncles would be ever so bitter.

Doesn't anybody know the FAMILY closes down for BYU?

Doesn't anybody know the TOWN closes down for BYU Football?

Doesn't anybody know the STATE closes down for BYU vs. Utah games?

CANCEL ALL THE PLANS!!!!!!!!!
RESCHEDULE!!!!

This family cannot have a wedding on the same day as BYU vs. Utah football game day.

Welcome to Cougar town.

New wedding date set: Friday, November 21st, 2008.

LOVE WAITS

2008-09-09T17:44:00.018-06:00

Many of you have probably heard of them... the three new heart throbs that have taken over teenage girls hearts.

I downloaded a couple of their songs and was surprised when I liked their music. However, I refused to be apart of the "GIRL HYSTERIA" surrounding them. And just respected them for making good music.

Who are these three beautiful brutes that girls have been going gaga over?

Well I'll tell you.... Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas... or more famously known as....

The Jonas Brothers.

Last night, MTV celebrated and the 25th Annual Video Music Award Show (or the VMA's.) MTV is known for it's controversial surprises every year...

(Madonna's performance of "LIKE A VIRGIN," Michael Jackson's award he thought he earned, Britney Spears and Madonna's kiss... and how could we forget last year when Britney gave a very sloppy drunk performance.)

So, yet again... MTV surprisingly took an awkward choice when choosing UK Rocker Russell Brand to host the award show. Brand- literally an unknown in the US- is known in the UK for his outlandish remarks didn't hold back on Sunday night.

Brand first took a shot at President Bush calling him “that retarded cowboy fella.”

....Let me just stop right there and say as I have gotten older, I have taken the word retard out of my vocabulary and realized it is not something to be thrown around as an insult. If you would like to understand further why this is, take a look at this blog of my best friends mom, Jeni entitled, "She is not an insult."

So when I heard him say this, I was LIVID. How dare he come to our country and make fun of our President. If he has a problem with anythings then LEAVE!

While Brand’s political comments certainly brewed up a storm, what drew arguably the biggest response was Brand’s repeated jabs at the Jonas Brothers and the purity rings they wear as a symbol of their vow not to have premarital sex.
The three brothers, who also stay away from alcahol, tobacco and drugs, wear the rings on their left-hand ring finger as a symbol as a "promise to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure until marriage."

At one point of the show, Brand crudely pretended he'd stolen a Jonas brothers virginity as he played with the ring on his hand. He then made a very rude remark (which I decided to leave out)

Jordin Sparks, who is also a fellow ring wearer, used her time on stage to rebuke the British funnyman's remarks saying, "I just want to take the time to say it's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut." (Gotta love her!)

I, however, have to say I have a new found respect for the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks.

Now, besides respecting them for their music, I respect them as people and as individuals. It takes a lot as a celebrity to stick up for what you think is right.

Thank you Jordin Sparks, Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas for setting good examples to those that look up to you the most.

BYU Season

2008-09-03T14:12:00.016-06:00

BYU season has approached us.... and well... we kicked trash last Saturday (duh!) I've always wondered why I was such a big BYU fan...

ever since I can remember...

then I stumble across pictures like this and realize....

The Anderson Family 1991
Curtis, Jace, Angela, Demarie, the man behind the plan AKA dad, and some random boy

Oh wait, that little boy is me.

I never really had a choice.

"Wannabe" America's Next Top Model

2008-08-28T01:34:00.018-06:00

Okay, let's all just admit it.
We all have watched America's Next Top Model and we have all secretly wished we could be on the show.

We imagine being the first 5'4 girl to win that weighs over 125 pounds (or even a lot more than that.)

Although I know this is quite a ludicris thought, we all wish it were possible. Okay, maybe I just do.

This week my friend Xandra asked me if I wanted to be in a photoshoot. She just like taking pictures for fun. Um... OF COURSE!

Alright, I will admit I tried so hard to think of all of the "A.N.T.M" episodes I have seen (which is quite a few) and tried to remember everything Tyra ever taught me. Hahaha.

Bless my heart, I tried a little too hard... and now it just makes me laugh. But my friend Xandra did a phenomenal job shooting the pictures. Here they are. Oh gosh,

this is so embarrassing.

Be gentle.

Summey, I know you are laughing at this....

Because we all know I'm a little POSER...

but that's why you LOVE me

How you know you have a best friend:

You have taken at least 1,000 pictures together.

You've had professional pictures taken of just you two.

You have millions of inside jokes.

Everyone knows your inside jokes and is sick of you laughing about them.

The inside jokes are still funny.

You pick up the other ones speech impediment when around her. (Like s-stuttering)

You both sing loud in the car to the same songs.

You've both traveled over a total of 30,000 miles to visit the other.

You have nicknames for one another.

The nicknames are the same for both people.

You use this nickname 90% of the time.

Your friends start to refer to your best friend as that nickname.

You both had a near death experience... together.

You feel like you broke up with your boyfriend when they get married.

But you still talk when they are married.

You drive down at moments notice just to be with them when they are sad.

You have matching outfits.

You both have license plates with your nicknames on them.

You're still best friends, even though you've never lived in the same city.

Happy Birthday, Summey!

Thank you for always being there for me when I've needed you the most. Thank you for being the only one who has stuck with me, even when I haven't been the best of friend. I love you!

Is that an animal carcass behind her?

A pose like this will get you kicked right out of the Convention.

Bobbi isn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but she and Dale both got fired from Shoney's.

Dawn and her recently exhumed sister, Gorgotha, pose with Scraps.

At the Southern Baptist Convention?

Olan Mills Backdrop #11: The Library, one of their most popular themes, as seen in this photo of the young Unabomber and his wife.

Patrick broke ranks and chose drag over the bow tie.

I got a $20 that says he drives a Camaro.

Nothing says 1973 quite like denim and helmet hair.

I'd hide my face, too, little girl.

How My Mom Tried to Kill Me

2008-08-20T01:36:00.033-06:00

Recently, I went up to our cabin in Brighton. My mom came up with me and we had fun having some mother/daughter time. My mom wanted to take me on a hike. I agreed and went along.... little did I know she was trying to kill me!

My mom quickly forgot which way was the right way to go. Apparently she seemed convinced if we climbed over all of these rocks we would stumble across the trail.

We never found the trail.

But I did, however, almost die about 10 times.

Ways I almost died
(or could have died)

1) Triggering an avalanche of rocks by my abnormally loud voice.

2) I swear this was the same forest that was located in the back of "The Cullens" house. If they had been out hunting, I would have been sacrificed to a family of Vampires.

3) Bambi's mother wasn't too happy when I started taking pictures of it.

4) A snake popping it's little head out after we stepped on it's home.

5) Mountain men capturing us and making us their mountain women wifes.

6) West Nile Virus.

7) Dying from anxiety of too many mosquito bites. (I hate mosquito's with a passion)

8) Tripping and falling down the hill due to my lack of preparation.

9) Tree branch to the eye ball.

10) Sudden random lightning storm.

11) Oh.. I don't know.... FALLING OFF THE CLIFF!!!!!!!

2008-08-18T19:33:00.017-06:00

FHE started out as any normal FHE started out.... playing water balloon "Steal the Flag"

And then things started to escalate a little bit...

Since we were all moving out soon, and had a bunch of extra food (most of which had already gone bad... why not get rid of it???)

Rotten-food Food-Fight

These two goobers caught me unaware

Slab a mayonnaise to the eye

In my efforts to avenge backfired with a bowl of applesauce.

The end result.

Ingredients for an expired-food food-fight:

1) Ketchup left over from the girls who previously used your apartment. (None of which you have ever met.)

2) Boiled eggs that have been sitting in the fridge for 2 months. I never ate them because I over cooked them.

3) Slab jelly over the hard boiled/over boiled eggs so they stick when they are thrown.

4) Milk that was in the back of the fridge that you were unaware existed. The expiration date says "June 22nd"

5) Sour Cream that has the runs.

6) Mayonnaise.

7) Various random items that you need to get rid of such as butter, mustard, yogurt, moldy raspberries and expired eggnog.

Yes, I know I am horrible and haven't had time to:

A: Change my layout of my blog back
B: Add at LEAST a couple of the 350 pictures I took last week during Lauren's "wedding week"
C: Filled you in on how it went.

However, I hope you will forgive me. I have been crazy busy. But I promise, when I get time I will tell all. Here is just one picture. Let me know what you think.

3 days....

2008-07-30T12:20:00.000-06:00

ummey, remember when.....

....we met at EFY and had one of the most
amazing, fun, spiritual, life-changing weeks of our life?

Remember when....... you were Spiderman??

Remember when....... this picture was almost perfect??

Remember when....... we went to every single class???

Remember when....... when Sarah taught us how to be real cheerleaders??

Remember when....... I had a Fiance too???

Remember when....... we cheesed it up???

Remember when....... you were Anne Frank?

Remember when....... we pimped it with Joel....
...before the accident...

4 days....

2008-07-29T12:20:00.000-06:00

ummey, remember when.....

We went on a road trip from California to BYU-I and sang the whole way there.

Who would have thought that almost exactly a year later... you would be road tripping back home with your Fiance to go to your wedding.

5 days....

2008-07-28T11:26:00.000-06:00

ummey, remember when...

We went and bought matching baseball T's.....

And had our pictures taken "Professionally"....

at "Kiddie Kandid's"....

At the Local Mall in Provo Utah...

To make a Best Friends Time Capsule that we never ended up making.

And the pictures turned out looking like Engagement pictures...
and it was kind of weird.... but we laughed about it....
And loved them anyways.

ONE WEEK....

2008-07-26T07:48:00.016-06:00

My best friend Summey, or Lauren get's married in exactly one week. I am celebrating her marriage to Skyler and our friendship at the same time. Here is my....

ODE TO MY BEST FRIEND:

Summey, remember when......

The airport cart mysteriously ended up in my car??????

..... And then we almost died trying to get home from the airport... only this time it was in Utah and my horrible sense of direction????

STEPS TO SUCCESSFULLY STEALING AN AIRPORT CART:

1. Have a good excuse.
(Like the airport lost my luggage and I don't want to purchase a cart again when I have to inconveniently come back for my luggage you lost.)

2. Proceed to shove cart into car.
Works best when you have your best friend keeping an eye out for anyone coming.

3. If cart is not cooperating... keep shoving.
Works well if your best friend is taking pictures instead of watching for people coming
(usually it helps in the urgency of the matter and sometimes the "shove" has a bit more of an "umph")

4. Have best friend pose near your hard work.

5. Cover masterpeice with extra blankets or jackets.
Usually helps the ticketer not get as suspicious when you are paying your parking fee.

Brat.

2008-07-25T16:04:00.012-06:00

In regards to my last post I must say that I feel like a spoiled brat.
Kind of like this girl...

To everyone that commented:

Darcee: Thank you for your comment, chika! You are right. I should blog because I enjoy doing it and because it makes me happy. Because it DOES. Duh! That is why we are all obsessed with it. It's a fun way to stay in touch with people like old room mates that have moved away. I love reading your blog and seeing how happy you are. Thanks for always reading mine and supporting me! And if anything, I will do it because I love you and I love doing it!

Summey: I love how you always give it to me straight and how it is. That is why you are my best friend. You are definitely right. I shouldn't worry about how many comments I get. That's stuuuppiiiddddd. Now I'm emabarrassed and see how Juvinille that post was. Sum, but that's why you love me. Because you can tell me when I'm wrong. And you always know when the guys I date are going to turn out as L-O-S-E-R-S!!!!! Thanks for commenting on basically every single blog I ever post.

Kirsten: You and Summey are right... I should blog because it's a journal of my life and views on things. I aspire to have a blog as someday as amazing as yours. I know you read my blog everyday, and again, I feel like a bratttttt. Thank you for always commenting. You're always so awesome and supportive.

Jeff: You are possibly the one who laughs the most at my blog and I loooove that. Thank you for being my #1 fan. And your right, I read people's blogs all the time but I sometimes forget to comment too.

Jenni: You are definitely right. I'm a hipocrit now that I think about it. I read your blog all the time but I rarely comment. Does this make me a horrible person? No. Just a lurker. ;-) Thanks for the comment and I'm excited to see you next week.

Rachel: Okay, this one I feel horrible about because I must admit I read nearly every single one of your blogs but have still yet to comment. And yes, of course I remember you!!!!! Lauren only talks about you all the time... if you guys aren't already her 2nd family! I'm excited to see you guys and Peyton next week as well! Thank you for the comment!!

Nattie: I love you and I love that you are blogging now. Thank you for your comments and for reading my blog!! I miss your face like you don't even knooow. Let's do something soon. Oh... and... do you still have that shoe??? Haha, jk I don't want it.. but it's still funny.

Savvy: I'm glad you finally have a blog! Yay! Thanks for commenting on mine and I can tell we'll have many fun times with this!

Now that I have sufficiently been chastened... I promise I will blog for the pure pleasure of doing it. Because I do enjoy doing it. I'm sorry for sounding like a brraat, everyone and I'm just glad I have so many people that love me enough to comment every once and awhile. You guys are amazing and I promise I'll keep up the blogs with the mere point of doing it because I loooove it.

Love you, love you, love you long time!!!

Facepage.

2008-07-17T21:03:00.010-06:00

This is hilarious. My brother Jace and I were talking to my mom the other day when she says,

"Jace, I was checking out your Facepage the other day and I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more girls on there. You have too many guy friends"

(Yes I realize that what was said about Jace having too many guy friends is a topic all on it's own.)

But hold up..... my mom just called it FACEPAGE!

HAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahaha!

Don't doubt that Jace and I ate this all up. I then said something like, "Yeah, Jace, why don't you talk to more girls on your FACEPAGE?"

And throughout the whole conversation the word facepage was said nearly 36 times. We were hoping we could keep this going for awhile....

UNTIL.......

***DUN DUN DUN***

Dem-shmem (My little sister also known as Demarie.. who is the ruiner of all fun and even though she is still in High School, I will swear she never was a child) comes in and had to ruin all the fun. "Mom, it's Facebook... not Facepage." She corrected my mom one day. (To which I shot her an evil glare)

Well, DUH Demarie! We know that! It's just fun to hear mom say facepage like she thinks she's cool. It took Jace and I awhile to reconvince her that it's really facepage.

So... if you see her... randomly find someway to bring up your facepage.

ROAD TRIP

2008-07-13T20:58:00.016-06:00

My family and extended family took a trip to Yellowstone National Park. At least that's what we were told 8 months up to the actually vacation. 1 week before it apparently all of a sudden never was Yellowstone and we were always going to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I am actually still not quite sure which one we went to. However, for the sake of my bloggers sanity (even though I was spared none by my mother in confusing me) we shall call it Yellowstone.

I was told by my mother to arrive at the house at 8:30 am. However, I guessed into their trickery and called my little sister the night before (playing dumb) and asked her what time we were planning on leaving. She told me 9:00 am. I KNEW IT! I caught them in their foolery and woke up at 8:00 am, was ready by 9:00 am around my and doddledapartment until I received a text at 9:45 am from Jace saying we were leaving in 10 minutes. One hour later we were finally in the car about to leave.

Apparently, I waken out from my Zombie-like-state (I generally take about 2 hours to completely wake up) because I then realized we were driving a Dodge Ram Quad Cab Larmie.

This confused me quite a bit. For these reasons:

This thing is a beast.
Doesn't this take a lot of gas?
My dad is super cheap. Wouldn't he want to take the least expensive?
AREN'T WE IN A GAS CRISIS HERE, PEOPLE?

I then ask,

"Um... Dad, how many miles to the gallon does this thing get?" My father then replies,

"We're hoping it gets 12-13."

Traveling 5 hours (or 5 hours was what we were told) in this thing...

I'm glad my family is doing our part to help out the economy. Ha.

Jace then starts teaching Demarie "Baseball 101" or the "Birds and the bee's of baseball" as he put it. He told her this would help her get a husband someday. He taught her the greatest pitcher of all time, Si Young, told her about the Si Young award, helped her memorize which teams belonged to which League's etc.

Five hours into the trip we then realized that this trip had been falsely advertised. It was not going to take us 5 hours to get there. But 7 and 1/2. This time, I had fallen for my parents trickery. Dangit! I knew I should have "Googled" it myself before we left.

Anyways, here are some funny clips I took of our road trip of us trying to entertain ourselves. Let me know what you think!

Jace me and Demarie singing "Gangsters" Paradise

Jace and me singing "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Jace making fun of Demarie at Subway because she is "Cranky Franky" and how mom always laughs at Jace's jokes and thinks he is the funniest person ever.

Jace "silent singing" because my dad got annoyed of us being so loud while he was "trying to think"

Baby Hungry

2008-07-07T22:34:00.001-06:00

When I was 10 years old I remember begging my mother to have another kid. Alas, there are 5 of us... which is a lot. But I am second to youngest. So that is no fun for me, seeing as there was only Demarie, who never really was a baby. She could talk and walk at 8 months, so I never really got to teach her anything. And if I could, she wouldn't listen anyways.

I remember my mom saying, "It won't be very long until Curtis and Angela are married and start having kids." (This is a true story) I remember pondering on that and realizing that she was right. Curtis was on his mission then (he was 20 years old) and he soon would be home. Angela was dating a guy very seriously she was getting ready to send him off on a Mission and they were going to get married without a doubt when he came home.... So I GUESS I could wait a little longer.

----------> FAST FORWARD -------->

TEN years later, still nobody in my family is married.

I am PI-HISSED!
(sorry father, for "swearing")

My mother tricked me! Ten years later I am still baby hungry.

(To all males reading this... please note that I, myself am not the crazy Provo girl you have heard of. I am not one of those girls that wants to get married just so she can have kids. (Although that would be awesome sometime in the future) I simply just want someone else to have a baby so I can play with it.)

Although nobody in my family has any promising leads for children... I have taken and grasped onto the hope of these two beautiful people....

My very best friend in the whole entire world. Lauren Elizabeth Groseclose (I call her Summey) and her Fiance, Skyler. Lauren is getting married on August 2nd and I could not be more excited.

(When I say excited I really mean excited for the whole thing, for her, for the events etc)

However, today something popped into my head. In exactly 299 days from now there could quite possibly be a Summey Jr. I highly doubt that but you always hear about the Honeymoon babies. So I am grasping onto that hope. I cannot wait to be called Aunt Summey (for Lauren calls me Summey as well.) Even thinking about it springs tears to my eyes!!!

Here are some pictures of what Summey Jr could look like.

Please, Sister Groseclose, don't kill me. This is simply all in good fun... and hope. Also, Summey, if there is a Honeymood baby, my dad will give you $2,000. hahaha. No, but seriously... something has got to be done with the lack of children in my life. And I am feeling selfish at the moment... so... somebody else should take care of that.... mmmmk?

Droppin' the "H" bomb

2008-07-07T02:12:00.001-06:00

As my job, I nanny 4 kids up in Park City. They range in ages from 9, 7, 5, and six months. It is actually a very rewarding job. I used to think I would be the worst mom ever. (Partly due to the fact that I am so adventurous and activity oriented.) But nannying these 4 kids has really given me the confidence that someday I will be a good mom. And I'm excited. I've learned that kids like being adventurous. I have the most amazing job ever. I get paid to play. It's great.

Mandy, who is 7 is one of the girls I nanny. At first, I was a little nervous about her. She has a hard time controlling her anger sometimes when she doesn't get her way. However, I think we all can relate to this in some ways. I'm really grateful for Mandy. I decided that although she has her agency, part of this wasn't her fault... it is just the way her brain functions. I have been working so extremely hard with Mandy on "using her words" when she's frustrated instead of throwing fits. And she's been doing such a good job, I'm so proud of her.

Yesterday, I decided it would be fun to take everybody on a picnic to the park. (They seemed to have a lot of energy and it sounded like a good way to let off some steam.) As we were packing our dinner, I asked Mandy if she wanted to lable everybody's sandwiches with their names. When I looked down at my sandwhich, I noticed she had written a little message on it.

Being the silly girl I am, tears welled up in my eyes as I read this simple message she wrote on my sandwich bag. I love this girl. I love the fact that everytime I come to nanny she changes her outfit to match me. Every once and awhile you get things like that in your life that make all the hard work and patience so rewarding.

A r e a l i t y c h e c k hit me 3 hours later where I realized for a second probably what my mom had felt many times. Mandy had asked if she could go over to a friends house. I unfortunetely had to say no (due to the fact that she was supposed to be in bed an hour ago and her mom was going to be home in a half hour)

She obviously wasn't very happy about this and stormed down stairs screaming, "I HATE YOU!"

I know she didn't mean it. She was just really frustrated.

But at least I was loved for 3 hours.

Passion

2008-06-29T01:08:00.000-06:00

I used to hate dancing. As many of you know, I was in an acting/singing/dancing group in Jr. High and High School called Acting UP. When I first auditioned for the group... I was there for the acting and singing.

However, to be apart of the group you had to do all three. So I had to force myself to learn the dances that they taught us and I hated it at first.

Music is my life. Music tells story with it's rhythm, notes and words. S l o w l y , as I was forced to learn these dances... I started to learn that dancing was the same way.

NOW? I love to dance. It is an expression of emotion. It, as well as music can tell beautiful stories. I came across this video from "So You Think You Can Dance" and I just love this number. I love the way the girl dances in this. She tells the story with PASSION. This is so beautiful. Wait until the very end when the girl just totally let's loose and solo dances for a bit.

Also, this dance tells a story. It's about a girl that is broken and sad because her husband or boyfriend is a workaholic. It's her explaining through dance that she loves him and misses him and wants him there... but he is distracted and you see her true heartache by the way she dances.

Let me know what you think.

One of my last blogs entitled, "Not so boring blog" I asked you, my readers for suggestions of strapping young men I could date. Seeing as nobody filled out any applications (probably due to the rigorous requirements) I took it upon myself! I officially signed up for online dating.

Now, before you laugh, I want you to know that I am completely leaving to whom I accept a date from up to you.

Please take a gander at the following men, all of whom have contacted me and wish to take me on a date. Then, proceed to the upper most left hand corner of this blog and please submit your vote.

THIS IS NOT FAKE AND I HEAR-BY PROMISE ALL OF MY READERS I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH AND GO ON THE DATE OF THEIR CHOOSING!

I promise that I will be a blogger of my word and follow through. In ten days, after the votes are cast and counted, I will let you know who the winner is, contact them and see if they are still interested... and go on a date. Then, I will take pictures on the date and let you know how to it goes. Please choose wisely.... Thank you!

Alright folks, get this... this g-ma in prison right now under suspicion of murder. (Click here to see the whole story) I don't know about you... but when I look at this:

------------------------------------^ First picture... I think aw, bless her poor heart. She lost all of those men she loved...

YEAH! BUT THEN...

I look at this next picture right next to it and something just screams

"HAHAHAHA! I got away five times with murder, you IDIOTS!"

I'm not really sure where I would get an idea like that... I don't know. I'm usually just got with investigations. When I was younger, I would always follow along with the Olsen Twins solving detective crimes. Since then I've always known I had a knack for solving important investigations.

Hmm... Although, it could have something to do with the fact that there is a bubble over Granny-B's head saying something somewhat incriminating.
But, I didn't put that there.. I SWEAR IT!

But I put together a little chart... let's take a looks at da facts here:

Alright. I got this. I got this all figured out. Do you notice how after every murder the years that she waits to remarry slowly increases. Now, I know what you're thinking.... this COULD be because as she got older, she became uglier and therefore it became harder to find a willing candidate. And I do appreciate you trying to solve the mystery. That's what I would think Iif I hadn't gone through the rigorous detective courses the Olsen's Twins put me through. (I have a certificate to prove it.) Only that is not it!

Because guess what? I know it! I know what it is!!!! Let's take a closer gander....

1952 her first husband dies... [because she killed him]

She must have realized how easy getting away with killing your husband is so she quickly remarried and TWO years after she brutally murdered her 1st LOVE she kills the 2nd.

Now, she takes a bit more of a break here thinking maybe somebody will catch on, but nobody does. Eleven years later in 1965 (the same year The Beatles are appointed Members of the Order of the British Empire... Or members of the Order of the Phoenix... whichever you prefer) she kills her 3rd husband.

CLEARLY, somebody might suspect the old hag who has "mysteriously" had all three husbands shot to death. But nobody does. Clearly, she laughs. She then waits a bit in her black widows den, as to not arouse suspicion. Twenty-one years later, her 4th hubby DIES the same year the TV show's Alf, Oprah Winfrey and Little Pee Wee's Playhouse premier.

The jig is up. She knows she has gotten away with 4 murders. But still nobody has come or accused. Clearly, she will kill again. She has become addicted... and black widows never turn into kitties! They-keep-a-killin'! So she does! But waits longer this time (possibly because she's uglier and it's harder to find a willing specimen or she's just being careful... I, however, vote the latter.)

ANOTHER 21 years go by and she kills again! HER FIFTH HUSBAND! HELLO PEOPLE! SOMETHING IS WRRRRONNNNG! Finally somebody does something about it and this old fart is thrown in the slapper.
