Ralph came for a visit...

Ralph the Night Hair Dresser came for a visit just the other evening, I woke up to find my new Do even better off than when I went to sleep. One of the many benefits of short hair is the awesome bed hair that comes along with it. This picture is an example of one of the reason's my brothers call me mophead.
It is also apparent that my bed hair is a contributing factor to why I AM NOT a morning person at all.

The Do Wa Do's of December...

So, turns out that each month Amy and I make a list of goals we would like to accomplish and work on throughout the month together. Each month we try to come up with a crafty title for our list of goals and this months title is (drum roll please!) "The Do Wa Do's of December" It is a list of goals that either start with "Do" or "Don't"
Well, the point of me telling you this is not because we have reached all of our goals for the month already (no, its only the 13th guys), but because we have fully accomplished one of the goals I wanted to get done most. It was that we " Do sport new do's aka haircuts."
Well, Wednesday afternoon we went in and got our hair cut. It is amazing how good a new hair cut can make you feel, and how different it really can be. Well, I absolutely love love love my hair cut. So I thought I would share it with you, but I also couldn't help but share a bit of Amy's haircut with you also. Let's just say her bangs quite possibly made me snort when I saw them at the hair salon.

36 Reasons Why

Okay, so this semester is already so so great! I love my classes. I love my job. I love my new ward and roommates. Its all around been absolutely wonderful thus far. Here's a few reasons why...

#1 Playing the farm game....kinda like monopoly, but with your own farm. It took a while to play, but I loved it... not to mention I almost won! I am pretty sure that everyone else playing despised it, well except for Josh.

#2 Signs that read "Spu Harvest" when it really should say Spud Harvest.

#3 Sharlee's Apple Pie. Sharlee has become a little homemaker and has definitely come a long way since frozen pizza!

#4 Blading through the streets of Rexburg. Amy Sharlee Michael and I took a wild adventure through the streets of Rexburg and Porter park on our blades. Amy even took the liberty of pulling all three of us on the bike....AWESOME!

#5 Adam's English paper.... if you know Adam at all you will know that there is no explanation needed for this one. Anyone that talks about diarrhea and Dixie cups in an English paper...well they may have problems, but it makes for a good laugh.

#6 Dictionary.com offers a very simple pleasure. Looking up funny words, finding out the definition, discovering new synonyms for the word, and have a robot like voice pronounce the word all at one website. Nerd? YES!

#7 Going to the Frost Top for a burger and milkshake. When saying this I feel like I should be hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Worthington, but I love going to the small town of Ashton and visiting the quaint diner called the Frostop.... Best Reese's peanut butter cup milkshake ever.... but bathroom goers beware, don't get trapped in the restroom...the door is a doosie.

#8 Yes it is possible for three people to ride my beloved bike, Lucy. One night following library closure Amy, our friend Caleb and I all decided it would be a great idea if we all tried to ride my bike home.... Let's just say good thing its down hill to our apartments. It was ultimately a success.

#9 Voyaging out to Monkey rock is extremely fun, the water is frigid cold, but built a little fire to warm us up. "Mallow me!"

#10 Kids meals with Kimberly at Arctic Circle, cupcakes at the cocoa bean, and Little Caesars pizza.

#11 Charmel. One day I was working at the bakery and a nice boy asked me what the different kinds of brownies and cookies were. When he specifically asked what was in the Turtle Brownie all I said was "It's got Charmel." Well what I meant was chocolate and carmel, but that is most definitely not what came out. He proceeded to tease me and use the word charmel as much as possible, and finally decided on getting the "Charmel" brownie.

#12 Bagel Boy. Ok so twice over the past week there has been the same boy who has come into the bakery to get a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. Well both times he has asked for it I gave him a strange look, grabbed a glazed donut and asked "You want this toasted?" He chuckled to himself and said "No a BAGEL". Not only did I do this once...but twice. And he is the only person I have ever done it to, and its unintentional I swear!

#13 Eastern Idaho State Fair- I can't really say that I have been to a fair that I remember. So Amy Trevor and my's trip to Blackfoot for the Eastern Idaho State fair was a real adventure. Full of foot long corn dogs, the petting zoo and some awesome rednecks! It was a people watchers paradise.

#14 Calebs Candle- Caleb won a black cherry scented candle because of his expertise in dancing. We all enjoyed it while we studied together at the library.

#15 Closing time at the library- "The David O. Mckay library will be cosing in 15 minutes." is something I hear regularly around 11:15 pm. This is followed by the best 15 minutes anyone can spend in the library as they play music such as Footloose over the PA system. The guarantee that they do this is enough to get me to go to the library and study.

#16 Visiting Charlie- Oh Charlie Zollinger.....

#17 Cafe Rio- After making Amy a list of the pros of driving to Idaho Falls to go to Cafe Rio we went.....thouroughly enjoyable.

#18 Pro and Cons lists- Life wouldn't be complete without its pros and cons. So, Amy and I are always listing the pros and cons of everything. Sometimes it gets kinda silly, but its always helpful.

#19 G's Dairy Delights- Do you like hot waffle cones and fresh delicious ice cream? Well I sure do and this is the place to get it! Two scoops please.

#20 Golfing- I can now say that I have experienced "real" golfing. It's kinda a awkward sport, but I'm glad to report I didn't hit myself of anyone else with the golf club.... I actually had maybe 5 good hits! Boo ya!

#21 Baja Canitina- My Mom drinking out of pitcher was a priceless moment not to mention we were the only people in the restaurant. Nothing like eating Mexican food at 10:30 at night.

#22 Homework? I love the feeling after I have worked hard on a good batch of homework and finished up the weeks worth of homework. This doesn't seem to happen much, homework never ends.

#23 Origami from Kim

#24 Stargazing

#25 Beaverdick Fires- especially when you don't bring matches and have to hike to an old couples camp site and ask if you can borrow some.

#26 Rummikub in class- yeah! its true. Brother Magleby let us play games in class, it made my day!

#27 One day I was walking to work and this boy was asking a girl out on a date. After they parted ways he was right in front of me. He proceeded to say "Yes" and do the whole Napoleon Dynamite thing.

#28 Dinner with Caleb and Kimberly

#29 People who come to visit me at work.

#30 Bro. Riggins class.

#31 Basketball class. One time this boy came over and was stretching right in front of me. Kind of like how a girl would do in a chick flick, right in front of the man of her dreams. Yeah he was stretching and jumping up and down and then started talking to me about stuff....Hilarious!

# 32 The power washer sink in my apartments kitchen.

#33 Stealing a Jim Brickman poster from on campus for Amy because I know how much she loves him!

#34 Buying Oreos with Josh- It has now been proven that plastic Walmart bags are not as sturdy as they seem. One, two, three spins over your head and whoops there goes the oreos flying through the parking lot.

#35 Slumber Parties with old roomies.
#36 Classic Movie Night- Nothing beats a night full of movies such as "Arsenic and Old Lace". Bully!

Jazzercise Time!

Holy cow! This is for all you Jazzercise doers from the 80's and 90's.. This one is a classic, especially if you are a multisport althlete.... jazzercise basketball combo!

A slight chuckle...

I took a little cartoon break tonight while doing my homework....I don't know why, but these both were so funny to me! Enjoy....


This is a good one for all you cat haters such as myself.



Sound words of advice!!! HILARIOUS!

What? I'm moving!

Ok, so it turns out not only do I have to move from Apartment 11 to 15, but I guess I am looking for housing elsewhere? Today when I got home from work I logged onto my BYU-Idaho account and email to see what is up, what homework I need to do before school starts, and how much this college thing is going to cost me this semester. I was greeted with about 7 or 8 emails telling me of different housing contracts available around campus and that my ad for housing had been approved for posting... Well if you are still following, good for you, if not you are just as confused as I was at this point.

I remembered that a few days ago I had used my roommates computer to look up some info on my school account, but had not logged out after I was done. After I was done she had proceeded to look for some housing around campus and had posted an ad that she was looking for housing on the west side of campus. She had done all of this under my account not knowing that she was logged in as me, and not as her. So it resulted in me getting various emails of girls offering to sell me their contracts for fall and my very own ad posted on the BYU-I bulletin board. Whooooo!

All of you who know me know that I would be thoroughly entertained by this, and I was. I was laughing so hard and was pleased to find out that so many people are willing to sell me their contracts, although I already have a place to live and have lived here for quite some time. LOVE IT!

This is "My Ad" (actually its Chante's, it just says its mine!)

Gutting a fish...totally under rated!

Last weekend I had the blessed opportunity to take my favorite form of transportation (The Salt Lake Express...AKA Hell on wheels!) home to Utah for a weekend out in the mountainous terrain of the Uintahs. I was more than ready for a break from Rexburg, and the people in Rexburg. I got home to Utah and prepared the trailer for our blessed trip. And let me tell you it takes a lot of work and planning to go out camping, especially when the trailer hasn't been out in about 7 years. (That is about to change though, I hope.)

It was a great trip full of fishing, games, fire, food and plenty of bonding time with the fam. One highlight from the trip was when I caught a whopping 15" fish and I sure was proud! I think that my brothers were jealous, but they weren't the ones gutting the fish. We caught a grand total of 35 fish, but threw most of them back. It was a great trip and I got to do my favorite part of fishing....GUTTING THEM. Most people would think that gutting a fish is the most inhumane and disgusting part of fishing....well ladies and gents, I beg to differ. As morbid and grotesque as this may sound gutting out a fish brings a slight grin (well actually a big grin) to my face. I love fishing, I love camping, but I LOVE gutting out those little aquatic specimen.
