texts, textes, textses

when we don't know what the plural form of a word is

we make it up.

alls i've got to say... is whoever decided the plural form of 'text' (multiple text messages) is

'texts-es'

was wrong.

why is it that when this form of 'texts' refers to phone texts instead of actual text (ex. in a book) people think the plural form is different?

when people say what should just be 'texts'

'textses'

i die laughing at how ridiculous they sound

sounds like 'Texas', no?

Now back to all my texts.

both academic and cyber.

i miss my roommate!

i wish i could lay in bed at night and talk to her for 2+ hours

before falling asleep like we used to.

the hardest part is i will never get that back!

i miss you laur!

come back!

you don't know jack.

last night my dad said:

"you guys don't know jack and you don't give a rats.

I know jack and I give a rats."

we all died laughing.

this made my mom think of this video. i about wet my pants it's soo funny.

Queen of Bouquets

Last year I caught

not one

(photo by Nicole)

not two

but THREE bouquets

(this bouquet split into three.. the last 3 single girls of the legit 6 caught all three of them. ironic, eh?)

weird.

i'm sooo excited! (snl)

i watched the whole show last night.

so worth the $12

(pic from byu.edu)

this is sooo funny

my cousins were on a road trip (probably on their way to Utah to visit)

they were playing games to make the time pass quicker

one person chose an object. In this case my aunt chose the

CLOUDS

and gave the kids clues to guess:

"what is soft, white, and puffy?"

my cousin who was probably 8 or 10 at the time said:

"DAD!!!"

He will never hear the end of it.

the cat claws the dog!

this was my favorite book as a child because i laughed hysterically when i saw the picture of the cat clawing the dog. i would belly laugh for minutes... my mom must have been confused as to what was so funny.

anyway, i'm doing a report for my Children's Literature class on Audrey and Don Wood. It's interesting to see the "behind the scenes" stuff about their books -- especially this one!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!!

Again, I'm a day late... just couldn't do it on April Fools ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Last year's birthday celebrations

my favorite picture of us

BYU Basketball

BYU football Vegas Bowl

midnight Oreos.... every night..

and my favorite pictures of all.. brings back so many memories of us just giggling on our dorm room floor. she is sooo funny!! she always makes me laugh...

especially when she leans back too far on her chair and falls over!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUR! I LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Nicole!!

I'm a day late... but I couldn't help but post these adorable pictures of Coey.

my only other straight haired, blue-eyed sister.

i love this one because our faces show pure joy

thanks for babysitting, singing me to sleep, and putting up with my tantrums! I LOVE YOU NICOLE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

peace be with you.... definitely

this video is the only thing making me laugh today.

"i love these guys more than myself."

sorry to be a debbie downer lately. whaaa whaaa

just remember:

"always have true faith, and always be victorious!"

"i march to a beat of a different drummer."

"i like the fact that people look at me with twelve heads like.. ooo what's that?!"

"judges, i plan to knock you on your feet."

"i'm gonna just wing it!"

"why do i feel like giving the camera the finger?"

"take it! take it! take it! I'm going for actressing!"

"If I could legally moon ya, I would!"

magic 8 ball

do you ever wish we all had a magic 8 ball

in which we could see our future?

i know it's possible to make life's decisions (because obviously everyone has made them) but i am so overwhelmed and confused by them. i can't wait until i can just hold my baby and know that it's all over...

until my kids grow up and then i have to worry about them

(picture: cousin Laur's son Nicholas Quezada)

why is it that you always want to grow up too fast until you realize that growing up just gets harder? i'd kill to be 3 again. right now.

smudge

this week i realized (again) how amazing my little sister is.

i smudge her because i'm so proud.

she pushes me away because she acts older than i

i ask her advice

i make her talk to people for me

i look to her for help

she always makes the right decisions

she is always logical

she is such a good, good girl.

she stands up for herself and for what

she knows to be true when friends do not.

and i'm so proud to call her my little sister!

i love you al!

i will not

come to terms with my eyes not being blue.

some tell me they're green. others tell me they're grey.

i wish they were as blue as they used to be!

General Conference!

I'm STOKED for conference! I think I have finally grown up enough to stay awake all 8 hours ;)

i am so lucky

that i met 3 of my best friends freshman year.

being randomly roomed with Laur was such a blessing.

thanks to my Heavenly Father!

I would have died without them.

BYU Ballroom Dance Company Presents:

The BYU Ballroom Dance Company Concert is

Friday April 9 @ 7:30 pm and Saturday April 10 @ 2:00 and 7:30 pm.

They are touring and competing in Blackpool, England this year so it will be a PHENOMENAL show! I will be performing one number besides the finale.
