Weasel in Idaho


Jenae was just here!!
I think i hyped it up too much for her because once she got here, all my friends were like out of town! so we didn't really do anything crazy and i'm sure she hated it. haha. but i took her to see the temple and the school farm and we had dinner with Donny and Christine. and she met Chris and Mark and my roommates and we napped. so that's pretty much all that matters, right?

She got here late Saturday night while we were watching Lord of the Rings, and then everybody came back to the apartment and she got to experience us all in full force. hahahaha. then that night after everyone left, i literally tucked into bed and red her a storybook because she is forever a dang child to me and i dont care what anyone says, she will always be baby jenae. done.


Sunday she came to my ward and the boys were looking at her because she's a BABE. and after church we went to Donny and Christine's for dinner and a board game -way fun. Then we came home and took a nap. both of us. on my little bed. hahaha. which was really uncomfortable and way too warm. awkward. 



Then we went to BYUI's farm, which was kind of a bummer because the gates were locked. and the only pictures we took were on her phone...which is dead forever. rough.
I also took her up to the temple. I wish i had planned better so we could have gone inside together but there really just wasn't enough time in the weekend.















She's the best.


Monday morning she came with me to my Teachings of the Living Prophets class which was awesome. And my teacher loved her! haha he's hilarious, i love brother Peterson! And after lunch i took her to AFY registration! yay! Adventure for youth! she spent the week there climbing mountains and doing ropes courses and riding ziplines. cool, kid.


On Thursday night i stayed up until 4 AM scrubbing the kitchen floor for clean checks.
halfway through i noticed how disgustingly different the sides were, and i snapped this:
GROSS.


Friday afternoon Jenae got done with AFY and i took her to the thrift store, obviously.


we got some cute new clothes, Jenae called me fat, and i did our hair in matching styles. 


I got this Harry Potter puzzle that me and Mark did Friday evening.


and then we all went to Kiwi Loco for frozen yogurt!





and Friday night while Jenae and i were out, so was my roommate Jaylene. Jaylene has excellent taste in men. last semester she dates some creeps so i'm always a little cautious when she goes out on dates. This week's model is named Dwayne and he's 33. he's divorced and has a son and thats all that i knew about him at the time. So when it was 12:45 am and i still hadn't heard from Jaylene, i was freaking out. finally she came home and spent an hour and a half gushing to us about her perfect date. by that time it was about 2:30 and before Jaylene got home, the rest of us has started watching Les Mis. Jenae went to sleep at like midnight. I stayed up watching Les Mis, which got done around 4:00, but by then i only had half an hour until i had to be up to get jenae to the bus. I made some tuna casserole for uhhh, breakfast? and then woke Jenae up. She got ready lickety split and we whisked her off to the bus!



peace out lil dawg!

And have you ever walked across BYU-Idaho campus at sunrise? you should some time, it's breathtaking. the photos do NOT do it justice. 



I'm really glad Jenae came! she might not have had tons of fun but i just liked having her around!

Wait listed

Aside from being the story of my life lately, wait listed refers to my spring semester classes. Because i'm only actually signed up for two. For the rest, i am wait listed.
I am very impatient. VERY. impatient.
It's a sickness.


Today I was in San Jose with Mallorie. My room mate has been visiting for the past week from Montana and we took her back to the airport today. On the drive home, We listened to the High School Musical 3 soundtrack and it made me miss Derek and Jonathan.
I took Caleb and Natalie out for Wendy's Frostys when i got home. I got to see like 3 minutes of Jenae's track meet before i whisked her off to rehearsal. Nolan Hutchings is home from his mission in Russia and i don't know how to feel about it. I love driving. I was invited to Yosemite today and it made me happy. I'm not good at being subtle. Also I saw Brandon dang Allen Paul yesterday for the first time since Christmas. It was happy. you never realize how badly you miss your best friend until you're eating cookies in his kitchen like usual, and you remember that this is how it is now. Seeing each other every six months for an hour or two. It's sad, really.

Anyway, the point of this post is that since December, I have just felt like i'm just waiting. I'm still not 100% sure that i know what I'm even waiting for. But I'm waiting. it's frustrating, and humbling. also it's given me the perfect circumstances to figure out what i truly want for myself. For my life. and stuff.


Remember when i read "Les Mis" back in November and I fell in love with it?

Yeah, well about a month ago i re-read it. it was even better the second time. and here are three completely separate, independent quotes that have almost nothing to do with the things mentioned in this post, but almost everything to do with my life right now:



1. "In all his trials he felt encouraged and sometimes even upbourne by a secret force within."
-Victor Hugo, Les Miserables {1961 Robinson abridged version} pg.184


2. "They remained on the same terms on both sides, without attempting a reconciliation, and without seeking to meet. And, indeed, what was the use of meeting? To come in conflict?"
-Victor Hugo, Les Miserables {1961 Robinson abridged version} pg.185


3. "The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only."
-Victor Hugo, Les Miserables {1961 Robinson abridged version} pg.253




dissect as you will.
ALSO.
Today was a good day.
and Danni won the Biggest Loser, so my life is complete.
