how sweet it is

yucky chocolate i had to eat.

ok today my roommate kristy came home from the library after studying for 5 hours! can you believe that? 5 hours...ridiculous. but anyways when she got back she bought some chocolate from the bookstore and asked me if i wanted some. i of course said yes, who wouldn't want chocolate. it was the lindt dark chocolate 85% cocoa. first i'm not a big fan of dark chocolate and second the only dark chocolate i like are york mint patties and junior mints. So I took a little square of the large chocolate bar and took a minuscule bite. the second as it touched my tongue i spat it right out. it was the most disgusting thing i have tasted. there was no flavor of cocoa to be found in that little piece of chocolate. i felt like Buddy the Elf in the movie Elf when he goes to the mall and has a taste of some passion fruit spray. its better if you just watch the clip. Buddy and the passion fruit spray. pretty much this is exactly how i reacted to that disgusting piece of dark chocolate. never again. ever.

Labor day is a glorious day to relax and have fun with family. I love three day weekends, they are neat. 

This long weekend was filled with many exciting activities, incidents, and happenings. Let me start by saying I have the coolest family ever. They know how to have fun and enjoy one another. Saturday we went to the mall to get the sales from labor...which were quite successful, 35 dollars jeans at gap... i'll take it. oh and i got some sweet vans. light grey with scuba blue tape lining the edges. and scuba blue lo pros, im stoked to wear them. along with my cool new kicks, i got two zip up hoodies from gap, which are very spiffy, a light purple and a dark grey. i always love going to the mall to people watch. there are such interesting people there and by interesting i mean weird and bizarre. people with crazy hair, unique styles, and odd personalities. People are different in their own ways which makes the earth a one of a kind place to live. Later that day we went to  the first football game of the season for BYU. Jordyn and I sat outside, which was fun because we get to take in the byu experience with die heart fans that bleed blue. Well that was fun for about five minutes and then the stench came. I felt so bad because this little old man had a few rows ahead of us had an accident which was unpleasant for everyone around and himself. hopefully when I get old that does not happen. But it was great fun to be with Jordyn. 


On monday, Labor day, which was Jordyn's birthday, we went to Magelby's for a delicious breakfast of french toast, bacon, eggs, hash-browns, and yummy crepes. That breakfast was just so delectable. After we went up to the Nordies, well the Nordstrom rack. When you first walk into the store it is a lot to take in. There is so much stuff every where! I just couldn't handle it, it gave me a headache. After the unsuccessful thrift type shopping, we headed back home to celebrate J's birthday. For her birthday I got her this snazzy Dakine backpack...She absolutely loved it. Ben, maryann and william came over to celebrate. Mary Ann made a cookie cake which was decorated like Jordyn...a gerber daisy outline of frosting. William is such a fun little boy...most of the time. Today was one of those days he decided to have fun with us. He was all over the place, literally. Under the table, running around the house, playing with legos, and yelling "OH my Josh!(gosh)" and "OH dear." at everything we said or what he say. He is a real hoot to have around. 


Back to school today and it was great! I loved Book of Mormon today! My teacher is the best, Brother Judd. I also had the opportunity to have his son as my seminary teacher. I love learning about Nephi's obedience to the Lord, and his father, that he would do anything that was asked and commanded of him. I think it is neat how everything relates back to the gospel in one way or another. I had my sewing lab today, lets just say it will be long...a three hour lab? hopefully I get a lot done, which I probably will. Today I signed up for Aerobics Combo fitness program and went to my first class today, Abs rock. Oh man, was that an ab workout or what?! it was only 30 mins long but it worked everything. I can't wait to go to more! 


love,

BUSY AS A BEE

What a hectic week! I am back at school for my second semester, and so far...it is interesting. Definitely a new experience from summer with no one on campus to thousands of people all over like a small city. Every where I go there is someone always in the way. First week of school has been crazy! Such a change from summer term, but I coming to BYU!!!

Before this week during my break from school, the fam and i went to cali to the one of the happiest places on earth...DISNEYLAND. What is ironic is that people were really mean to us when we were being friendly and nice, but there are just some people who are rude. Other than that our trip was so fun! I love disneyland! Just the atmosphere there is so thrilling and inviting that it is so fun to be there. We stayed at the Grand Californian, which is the best hotel to stay in. It's super close to the park and has an entrance to California Adventure. It is like a big lodge you would find at a ski resort, it is very homey and an awesome place to be. Disneyland was a great way for me to spend time with my family and enjoy myself as well. Our first ride was Soarin' Over California... that ride is neat. but only if you get the top row and right in the middle. Then off to Disneyland. Thankfully it was not crowded at all when we went, a few people here and there but it was decent. I saw some of the most interesting people there. That is one story by itself but one really cool family we meet at Toy Story Mania was from the mother country, England. They traveled all the way to cali to come to disneyland. That is dedication there. They had cool accents. On the tuesday, the second day we were there, we were able to World of Color. It was really cool how they could have water do the things it did, they could have presented it better, I guess I just have high expectations from Disney. But it was still fun to watch all the classic Disney movies and some of the new ones too. On our way back from Cali after a whole week, our plane ride was an adventure itself. Literally. Jordyn and I were sitting together just fine and dandy. THEN right before they were going to shut the door, a man came and sat in the row right in front of us. Let's just say that plane ride was a long ride with NO fresh air to breathe...just some nasty b.o. stench coming from infront of us. Poor Jordyn had her shirt pulled up over her nose the entire time. That will be one adventure I will not forget from memory or smell. There are too many things that happened that would take forever to explain. My trip to California was the best!! I can't wait to on more trips with my family! I love my family!!! 

be seeing you soon
