yes, I'm getting out the beloved wisdom teeth tomorrow and freaking out just a little bit.  It'll all be over (hopefully) by about noon tomorrow.  And then on to my permanent resting place in the basement in front of the TV with books piled alongside and Emilee on the other couch (for moral support of course) watching movies and reading books to our hearts content.  That part doesnt sound too bad -- having an excuse to watch movies all day and not having to feel guilty about it at all.  We'll see how long I actually enjoy it.  Anyone who wants to come visit and join in the fun, come on by!  I'm pretty sure we wont be going anywhere for a while...

Happy Birthday Karaboo!

So a quick blurb about my favorite 15 year old sister Kara (who turned 15 today!!)
-Kara is probably one of the kindest people you will ever meet, no matter how long you've known her, she is a friend to just about anyone.
-Kara is one of the happiest people I know.  It takes a lot to get her down.
-Kara is one of the most helpful people I know.  Even when I've been mean to her, it doesnt take long for her to completely forgive me and help me with just about anything.
-Kara has more energy then almost anyone I know.  She is ALWAYS up for a game of soccer or anything active.  She never stops.
-Kara is adored by every little kid I know (and most mom's in our ward).  No joke, I think any little kid that meets her adores her instantly.  Like I said before she never runs out of energy and is always up for playing with any kid that can keep up with her.
-Kara is always up for anything, whenever I want to do something crazy like go for a run or try to eat healthy or just go on an errand, Kara is the first to jump up and volunteer to do it with me.  I love that about her.
-Kara is has grown into a beautiful young lady.  I literally cannot believe she turned 15 today, that kind of blows my mind.  A LOT.  My little Kara is growing up! (well not so little, as she's passed me in height already...)

Happy Birthday Kara!!

We finally broke down and decided we needed to replace some light bulbs...

Dont worry, I replaced them all and I'm super proud of it.  Now we can see each other again and dont have to keep switching around the bulbs to different rooms.  Although, my room is so bright now it kinda hurts my eyes a little bit haha.

I hate coming up with clever little titles.  Anyways, this is gonna be a super random post, just things Ive been thinking about lately.

So I went to Em's ward talent show tonight and its probably bad, but all I kept thinking about was how every single person that was in her ward that performed reminded me of someone in my freshman ward. I. MISS. IT.  (not dwelling on that, just commenting)

I finally finished my "day of death" today after staying up till 3 last night and finally got my two big presentations done!!  Such a great feeling.

I'm forcing myself to stay up on campus and hopefully get some of my last project in CS 345 done, currently not really happening yet...

I realized I'm the most indecisive person ever. EVER.  And I kinda hate it sometimes.  I just cannot make up my mind about some things.  and some people.

I'm finishing my 5th semester of college in 3 days.  How is my life flying by so quickly?!  It needs to slow down.

I only have 10 days left living with one of my best friends in the world and it makes me way sad :(

I get to see four of my favorite people in the world in a mere 10 days and get to ride home on the plane with one of my other favorites.

K I guess I'll go work on my project now...

15 days

Thats 2 weeks and 1 day till MD.  I CANNOT WAIT to see these cute girls.

oh yeah, and my parents too :)

good week.

I've decided Thursday nights are my blogging nights.  I never get around to it during the week.  Anyways, its been a really good week (for the most part).  Its the little things that make it though.  It hit me when I got to talk to a good friend on the phone today for just a few minutes.  It made my day.  Some of the other little, but wonderful things this week.

-finishing a beast of a computer project, 5 down 1 more to go!!

-finishing a 6 page paper 10 minutes before class started (I dont know why I do that to myself)

-staying up way too late talking to one of my best friends about life (when I should have been writing said paper)

-calling home and having my little sister say "guess what?!" about a million times.  She gets so excited about the little things and it makes me happy to hear her.  

-hearing the countdown my sisters have for me to come home.  Only 27 more days till I get back to the 20878.  I'm sooo excited!!

-catching up on life with a few good friends that I havent talked to in a while

-seeing girls from my freshman hall and remembering how much I miss freshman year and the amazing people I'll be friends with for life

-getting a letter from a good friend on his mission, loving the advice he gives and loving seeing how mature he's getting

-not being able to control my laughter multiple times at our Olympics ward activity

-coming home everyday to awesome roommates who always have exciting things to tell me or put up with listening to the exciting things in my life

-getting to see friends/roommates from last year that I dont get to see enough!

-checking the time on our kitchen clock that keeps getting slower and slower, and realizing that I need to slow my life down 

-going to the gym everyday (just kidding.. like that happened...maybe next week?)

-getting my eyebrows plucked by roommate who thinks its therapeutic and enjoys doing it for us :)

-venting to my mom way too often and her never getting annoyed with hearing about my life

-going to work everyday at a job I absolutely LOVE

-playing piano duets with my roommates

-watching hilarious videos at the library and trying not to bust out laughing, but failing. haha

-killing a bug (bravely, I might add) that was on Karalyn and Lauren's ceiling a few minutes ago

-listening to my new weird favorite song of the week on repeat about a million times (my roommates make fun of me thinking it sounds like an EFY song.. I dont think so.  At DanceSport the cabaret dancers danced to this song and it was incredible)  Anyways, I love this song.

and now for a few pics from life the past few weeks before this marathon of a post gets any longer...

30 days to thankful.

So I was doing my routine blog-perusing tonight and came upon a "30 days to thankful".  I'm a little late starting, but I figured that I might as well try to doing it.
Today, I am thankful for the people in my life.  Most specifically my parents, sisters, roommates, and friends.  But for serious, I am so lucky for all the people in my life who are willing to put up talking with me, listening to my problems, giving me advice, just being there to talk to.  They are all such incredible people and awesome examples to me.
