Men?

Do you think men and women will ever understand each other? The reason for this post is not to pick on men. It is to try and understand them? The last week I have had two people talk to me about the same thing. Commitment!!! That ten letter word that everyone runs away from?

I got a phone call from one of my best friends in Florida telling me about her situation with her boyfriend. Basically he doesn't want to commit. The very next day my other best friend from Florida called me with the same problem? I don't understand it. They are amazing girls and any guy would be lucky to commit to them. Why do men do this to us? I have had the same situation in the past where I was ready to commit to something and the other person wasn't. I don't understand why this happens? Why one person in the relationship is ready for something and the other isn't?

This is the other thing that blows my mind... These two girls have been dating these guys on and off for three to five years? Don't you think you would know what to do in that time period? Why the on and off business? Is it like the song "with or without you" they just can't live with us but they can't live without us either? or Is it men or women that have the issue? Maybe men or women are just scared to commit to the right thing? Like they won't be able to live up to the other person so they do the on and off business?

Well it just doesn't make sense to me.... Maybe one day it will. As for now I would love your thoughts?

My New Best Friend!!!

So I remember one of my friends, Adam, blogged about his Garmin he uses in his car one time. I thought it was a little weird but I would soon realize why he loved it so much. My new best friend, George, is a Garmin as a watch. Seriously people this is a dream come true. There is NOTHING like it when you are running.

I have been training for this marathon on April 18, 2009, which NO ONE in my family will be attending, I mean it is 26.2 miles but whatever right? I guess my parents think it is more important to visit my siblings in DC.... Don't worry I am slowly getting over the fact that this will be my second Marathon and only my sister KA has seen my cross the finish line. So if any of you want to make a trip to good old Salt Lake, in the Gate way, to witness the completion of the marathon, come on April 18 around 11:00, that is around the time I am looking to finish.

I know my cute friends will be there so I am REALLY happy I have them. but I do know for sure my new best friend George, (the Garmin) will be there. Seriously George is who I spend the most time with. We are together every single day. So naturally I had to give him a name. He is a boy because I want to impress him and run faster of course.

George does EVERYTHING!!! He tells me how fast I am going, how far, and the time. Seriously a dream come true for a runner. George also keeps a history of what I have ran and tells me the average pace. He is AMAZING!

Last week George and I got into a fight. He was mad at me because I let him charge for to long. So he wouldn't turn on. I really needed to hang out with George because I had to run 11 miles and with out him it is very hard. George wouldn't turn on so I had to run by myself. I was SO thankful for George after that. I realized I rely on him so I have to take really good care of him. The next day George turned on, we have been running ever since. Maybe even a little bit faster because he knows how grateful i am for him now!!!! George and I will see you on April 18!!!

Are you serious ABC?

So every Monday night for two hours of my life, along with the rest of America, I have been falling in love with the Bachelor, Jason. He is so cute and it has been fun to follow him in his journey to find a wife. I was TOTALLY a Melissa fan. I was SO happy when he picked her, but of course ABC has to do the after the final rose right after he picked her.

Jason, stupidly picked Molly. I have nothing against Molly because if he wants to follow his heart he can, but to do it on NATIONAL TELEVISION that is where I have a problem. I was SO proud of my girl Melissa. She totally stuck up for herself. she brought up excellent points and he had nothing to say.

Molly was an idiot for taking him back. I don't care how in love you think you are with someone if they dump you on NATIONAL TELEVISION you should not want to take them back. Then tonight they are having another after the final rose... Who knows maybe he will go back to Melissa.

All in all i think they show is ridiculous. It is degrading to marriage and relationships but it keeps sucking me in.... Sadly.

parents!

I think I have the greatest parent's in the ENTIRE world. This morning I drove down to Orem at 7 am so I could be a support to my dad. He was released as stake president today. I was so happy I could be there to show him support since I am the only child that lives in Utah I thought it would be good to be there. (I also think I moved up on the list of favorite children, right now Nato is number one because he is on a mission but I think after today I have the number two spot in the bag.) He did an excellent job speaking and I know the stake will miss him.

My mom was serving in his stake in the RS presidency. After the meeting people just kept coming up to say how much they are going to miss them. I was so happy to be there and see how much everyone loves my parent's! I just thought to myself I am the luckiest girl in the world. I don't know I did to deserve my parents but I count my blessing for having them.

After we talked about my FAVORITE subject in the world.... MONEY! I am horrible with money and my parent's were so great to sit and talk with me on how I can improve. They are always so supportive in my decisions. I love you mom and dad. Thank you for being the greatest parent's anyone could ask for! xoxo

Facebook!!!

So I work at the computer labs on campus at Utah State University. It is the best job on campus because you get to do your homework, meet and help students, and learn about computers.

Lately our boss Gary decided we (as consultants) didn't need facebook on our computers anymore. His reasoning is we talk on chat to much and don't help the students. At first, I was really mad because sometimes this job gets boring and you need something to take a break. What better than facebook right?

So after a couple of days with no facebook I realized how much more homework I get done at work. I have done papers, research, and reading. It has been GREAT! Also I don't feel like I have an addiction to facebook anymore. I use to be on all day everyday. I knew everything.... Now not so much.

What is really funny to see are the consultants who are trying to find ways around it because they either are so bored or feel out of the loop. So to my fellow consultant I know you will probably read this sooner or later because now that we don't have facebook you don't know what to do. We will all be fine. We are in college so use this time for studying! Or just start a blog?

Mardi gra and the Oscar's!!!

This weekend was so great! On Saturday night Utah State University had their annual Mardi Gra party. We went around ten o'clock to see what there was to offer. They had dancing, a casino, and the illusionist. We started out on the dance floor which was a great time. Everyone had to show there ugliest dance move. I think Ashley was the winner.

After we went up to the casino to win some fake money, Jenny and I started at the Roulette table. This is my favorite game. I just learned how to play when we went to Wendover for the New Year. Jenny and I were really good. We stayed there for most of the night making friends with everyone playing with us. We did really well. We stayed in the positives the whole time. We were getting ready to leave to get in line for the illusionist so we just put everything in. WE WON IT all back and doubled it. We decided to end on a high note and cashed out. Although we got no real money I now know how good I am at roulette.

The Illusionist was amazing. I love watching magic shows because it gets me every time. I was amazed the entire hour and a half. He started off with a Coke can trick was ways really good. My favorite one was at the end when he told a story about his mother who never got to see him do a real magic show before she passed away. She loved snow, so he made it snow at the end of his show. I forgot his name but next year on NBC he is going to have his own show. It will be cool to watch I think.

On Sunday it was the 81st Oscar's so of course when celebrities are celebrating so are we! We made lots of good treats and had a blast watching the Oscar's! My favorite dress was Jennifer Aniston’s. I thought she looked AMAZING! After winning so many Oscar’s I really want to see Slum dog Millionaire. The little kids in there interviews were so cute. They were fun to watch and I am glad everyone came over for them!

Bandcroft!!!

For some reason my brother and sister in law decided to move to the middle of no where? Bandcroft Idaho!!! Population 384. This past weekend I got to experiences small town livin. My brother is the basketball coach and fifth grade teacher up there and they LOVE it. I was so happy I got to go stay with them. My parents came up as well.

On Friday afternoon my parents came and got me. We made it up to Bandcroft around 4 o'clock. The game started at six so we were there for warm ups. They played amazing and the whole town was there to support. They all love Kev and Cristy. Taige and Sydell love it up there because they can run around and do what ever they want. Everyone knows everyone!!! If you think of the movie Hoosiers that is what life is like in Bandcroft! Maybe living in a small town is not that bad?

The best is the way everyone dresses in Bandcroft. They just don't even care what they look like, they can pull off anything. The best was the TWO cheerleaders that performed at half time. I was so proud of them. The EIGHT people in the band played along with as they danced. This was definitely a night to remember!
