Yellow House!

I am all about goals in life. nothing better than crossing off something on a "to do list" for me. I moved to Logan four years ago. One thing I love to do more than anything is what I call "house shopping" driving around looking at people's houses. I love to do it. After moving to Logan I found the most incredible house I have ever seen, right across the street from the temple. It is seriously my dream home. I have LOVED this house for four and a half years now. I would ALWAYS try to convince other people to come to the door with me and try to look inside.

One time Ashley Hall and I got to the front door and look inside and the family was having dinner. so mission was not accomplished. That was the closes I have ever come. Back in October Mandi Burton and I made a list of things to do while I still lived in Logan, the yellow house tour was one of them.

Well yesterday it happened.... I really did it. The Burton's and I were at the temple and I looked over to the yellow house and thought, now is my chance. I convinced Whitney Burton to come to the door with me. I knew I could count on Whit!!! We first practiced what to say so we didn't look SO weird, just kinda weird. We got to the front door and Janet (my new best friend) answered. I explained to her how much I have loved her house for four years and she let us come in. She told me people do this all the time it was nothing new. I think the part that got her is when I asked if I could take a picture in her house. She was TOTALLY up for it. I was so happy. It was beautiful inside. Everything I have dreamed of and more. one dream in my life crossed off!!! I want to own it one day! I think it is amazing!

GRADUATION!!!

I really did it... I am a college grad from Utah State University! I graduated on Saturday morning at 10:30. I woke up to a phone call from Kev (my older brother) telling me that because of the snow, they would not be able to make it down... Well if you know me at all any and everything was making me cry that day, so of course I started to cry because I wanted my family to be there. I got over it and started to get ready. All of the graduates met in the Field house to get ready. We walked from the Field house to the Spectrum. The coolest part of graduation is walking to the Spectrum with graduation music playing the whole way there. It was amazing! Right when I got around the corner about to walk into the Spectrum, I saw my parents and grandparents. Of course started crying again.

When the graduates walk through the tunnel all of the professor are standing and clapping for us. Again brought tears to my eyes. I found where my family was sitting as soon as I got inside. I kept looking up and my dad kept walking in and out of his seat. When I looked up for like the tenth time I saw him walking down with Sedrah in his arms. Kev and Cristy SURPRISED me and decided to come down. Again tears coming down my face. I couldn't believe it.

After Graduation we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch! It was so good and fun to be with my family and especially my grandparents. We got my bed all moved and I again cried my eyes out. I am just going to miss this place. I have loved living in Logan. I will never forget the memories I had with so many different people.

FREEZING

I have been in Logan for 4 years now and this morning on one of the last days I will be a student at this incredible university, I was FREEZING, I think the coldest I have ever been in my LIFE. It was -10 degrees outside... -10 people. I had to be at work at 8am and that didn't help at all. I got into my car, drove to the bottom of old main and started my journey up those LONG steps. As I was half way through my climb I looked down to see my DRY HAIR was FROZEN. I couldn't believe it. I tried to take a picture but it didn't really work that well... Anyways my nose hairs were FROZEN. It was the weirdest feeling in the world. I couldn't believe it.... I just couldn't believe it. I called MJ because I knew she would be able to relate and nothing... So I had to call my brother who said it was -25 in Bancroft. I felt a little better about my -10.

Also I an officially down with College. I took my last final yesterday and turning a paper in today. Weirdest feeling in the world. I mean I know you are not surprised that I started crying walking out of my final... I guess I am just growing up... (you know that is what papa henshaw said to me when I called him in my crying moment.... and by moment I mean hour...)

Life Changing Weekend....

As many of you know I will be graduating in six VERY short days. I can't believe the time is here. I am extremely excited and nervous at the same time.

Well let's start with the phone call I got on Friday night... I have been interview for a job at Xactware in Orem Utah. Now I love Orem but I have NEVER wanted to live there again. I had so many plans for my life to move to Europe with my bestest friend in the world Chelsea, or do an internship in Washington DC so I could be with my sisters... Orem was NEVER apart of the plan. I sent a email to Ashley Taylor one day telling about what I wanted to do in life. She sent one right back to me to tell me about her job that would be opening up at Xactware. I thought what a great job but I don't think I would want it. Well as the days went on and I could NEVER get it out of my head I knew I should probably apply for the job.... I interviewed and felt really good about it. I knew it would be an incredible opportunity for me and I would be crazy not to take it. As I interviewed I fell more and more in love with the people and company. On Friday night I got the call that I got the job. I was so excited/sad at the same time. I knew I wanted the job but that means my dreams of moving to Europe were slapped in the face with reality. I accepted the job later Saturday night. I am very excited about the opportunity in front of me. It will be an incredible learning experiences for me. I really dont know why I am suppose to be in Orem but I know I am. Heavenly Fathers plan for me is a little different than I was thinking... but I know it is where I am suppose to be... Let's just say he better be talk dark and handsome. that was the big news of the weekend.

After that PARTY PARTY PARTY!

Before I got this great phone call I went to the Logan Public Library! I have never been there before and I have a list of ten things to do with Mandi Burton before I leave Logan. We are on a roll and crossed off two this weekend. the library being one. Not going to lie I was a little disappointed but it was well worth going.











Spooner and Ian held the BEST Christmas sweater party I have EVER been too! It was the BEST EVER I am telling you. They had Santa Clause come. we sang Christmas carols and everything. The best part of the entire night was when Party in the USA came on by Miley... About 100 people in the basement screaming at the top of our lungs "YAYAYYYYYYYYY its a party in the USA" it was amazing. Nobody can deny how great that song it!!!!!!!!!












Saturday was my last ever staff meeting at the computer labs. I got my VERY famous frame from Gary. I will have to think of something good to do with it.

Saturday night we had a basketball game. Sadly the Aggies lost... In the four years I have been here I think the Aggies have only lost one time in the Spectrum. The other team didn't win though.... the officials won. they were terrible...









To cross off one more thing on the "list of things to do before I leave Logan" we went to hang out at Snow Hall for the night. Our friends from Freshman year came. I wanted to end where I started... It was amazing. I felt so young going back there and remembering everything that happened there four short years ago. We told of the crushes we had on people, what our first impressions were. Good times in the dorms. I love them!






















Tristan's birthday was yesterday. I seriously just love the girl! I am so happy I have gotten to live with her the last 8 months. We have a great time together and I love her. She is my love pants!







Last night it hit me HARD that I am leaving Chelsea Lynn Irons... I don't know what is harder for me... Leaving Chelsea or the heart break I had from A-Phelps... I think leaving Chelsea. She is seriously the best friend I could ever ask for. I just think if I never went to Florida I would have NEVER been this close to her. she is seriously incredible. I do not know what I am going to do without her. I cry on demand just thinking about it.... I guess this is the start of a new chapter...

Michelle Tanner....

My parent's are selling their house.... There I said it.... I am not happy about it. Well I am happy for them because they are building their dream home. I am not happy because "the new house" will not be my home.

On Saturday morning after I had just got out of the shower I got a phone call from my mom, (was down in Orem) she told me someone was going to be by in 15 mins to look at the house, they were on their way home but just in case I was to show them around the house....

I had the sudden urge to be Michelle Tanner, from Full house, there was an episode when the Tanner's are trying to sell their house. Michelle points out everything wrong with the house when the buyer comes to walk through. I wanted so badly to do the same... BUT there is nothing wrong with my house. It is the greatest place and the person who gets to live in it is one lucky person. I just hope they don't mine when I come to visit..... Daily....

believe it or not there are bigger MICKEY MOUSE fans than Chels and I in Logan Utah. Yesterday was Mickey Mouse birthday. Ashley, Lesile and Kellen had a birthday party for him. We all were ears and told of our favorite things about Mickey Mouse. It was great. The mouse would be proud. I said my favorite thing about the Mouse is the joy he brings into EVERYONE'S life. Everyone can think of a moment that Mickey Mouse has made them happy. What a great thing!











BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ light year even made it to the celebration!
