Fantastic news.

I got back into BYU-I.
Yes, yes. I am jumping for joy.
So much so that I cannot fall asleep. I am going insane. I know what I want now, I have a deadline and now it's go-time. Start the engines and let em' burn. Before I know it, I'll be back in good ol' "sexy-rexy" pursuing my education ambitions.

Honestly, I don't know exactly what I want to do, but I am pretty sure that I have an idea.
So, I've always loved design. Interior design caught my eye growing up, and I often watch HGTV in the hopes of picking up sweet tips from those classy ladies on those shows. But, the honest truth is that I cant see myself devoting all of that effort and time into creating a room or house for someone who could quite possibly see things completely opposite from me. I don't know... maybe it's strange of me to think that... but I feel like a home is a very personal thing. The things you put in it don't all have to match or perfectly coordinate. It should just reflect you. If I was to design somebody's home, I feel like it would be a reflection of what I think their reflection should be. You know?
I have always loved clothing design as well. You probably wouldn't know it by looking at me because I dress 1. for comfort and 2. for what fits well. I have always followed the fashion trends and wished I could wear them, but who am I kidding... I am broke, and I have more important things to spend my meager check on. But, I know what looks good on other people and I know how to fit body styles.
I've always really enjoyed flowers. I am partial to peonies. There is something so soft and pretty about a big-petaled flower.
I like being the boss. I mean, I like being in control of things and making sure that everything runs smoothly. I wouldn't say I am a control freak, but I do like the feeling when people ask me what they should be doing.. it feels gooood. Haha. Usually when I am in charge of something I have a very particular image in my mind... and hopefully, it turns out just as good as the image.
I love to plan. I have a planner. 'Nuff said.

So, as I am sure my close family members know...I am having trouble picking out a major field to study.

I think I finally found it.



The plan is as follows.

Major in Floral Design.
Yeah yeah, I know. I bet you'd never heard of that major before. Neither had I before today. But as I was looking over the courses etc, it felt oddly wonderful. There is a lot to know.. but there isn't much math, so I'm down.

I'll then take 2 clusters..which equals 1 minor. They will be event planning and entrepreneurship.

And there you have it folks.

So one day, I'll be a successful flower shop owner turned wedding planner. That, is perfect for me.

I'm happy.

So, BYU-I... see you April 15th.

Some things are enjoyable.. others are just plain blog-worthy.

Turns out, this one is blog worthy.
I am dedicating this video to all of us who wish we had the guts to get in front of a camera in bright red lipstick and sing.

You're going to love this.



Go ahead. Watch it again.

Snow Day

Today, is a snow day.
Yes, it's Sunday.
Which means, church was canceled today. I don't think that has ever happened to me before. In fact, this is my very first snow day, EVER! And that tragic part about it? I actually wanted to go today. I was teaching a lesson on Agency in my Relief Society.

Can I just say, I love to teach? And... I love my Relief Society.

Ugh. Too bad. It's even too windy to enjoy the snow.

Cute.

A friend posted this on his Facebook status. I felt like it was a perfect way to describe my personal views on finding the right guy...

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird. And when we find someone who's weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it... Love.

AMEN!

Michael Buble, you complete me...

In the words of the new generation Frank Sinatra (although, nobody will ever do it as well as he)...

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

This year is going to be a good one... I can feel it. I know that every year about 96.444680% of the world's population says, "this year is going to be different..." or, "this year, I'm getting back in those tapered jeans from high school...". It is a tad cliche, I admit. But, I know for a surety that 2011 will be my year. This year I am going to go wherever I am happiest; starting with BYU-I.

I am also going to have a relationship that lasts more than a month and a half, and he, who ever he is, will be awesome. I don't even want to think about marriage. I'm 21. One step at a time. Lets just get to a month-iversary.

So, goals:
1. I am going to get in shape...seriously. I'm actually doing it this time,
2. I am going to grow out my hair, and it's going to stay brown... one shade, nothing fancy.
3. I am going to work my rear off at work so that I can be more financially independent.
4. I am going to be a nicer, more charitable person.
5. I am going to (try) and hang up my clothes when I take them off, instead of laying them on something... like floor space, or chairs...
6. I am going to Facebook less, study more, read more, and blog more often.
7. I am not going to be annoyed with 18 year old girls getting engaged to guys who graduated high school the same year they were learning multiplication.
8. I will think of 3 more goals to complete a list of ten.

So there you have it folks. It's a new year... and although my new year technically started in August...(I just decided it would be less pressure), I'll get on track with everyone else... I guess.

Cheers!
