New Design!

So I worked at the BYU-Idaho Floral Shop over the Valentines Holiday. All the male faculty came in, seriously. There were tons of them. I was only there for a few hours, but i helped so many people, it was crazy.

Anyway, one of the teachers that i work for in the Theatre department came in, he needed flowers for his wife and three daughters. Lets just say that he spent over $100 dollars. Half of that was on his wife. He wanted me to design the arrangement for his wife, I was excited! He said no roses, wanted something that would make him look good and wanted it different. So here is what I did....

This was the first time I had worked with Tropicals so I was freaking out. I was hoping that he didn't object to them. It was so fun though! He told me his wife loved them!! Thank goodness, I didn't want to be responsible for a bad Valentines day.

52 days left!! Yay! I am also looking forward to the Horticulture Departments California Trip! We are going to DisneyLand! Yay! I have never been, so I am sure I will be like a 5 year old running around. Then the next day I will be passed out all day from the excitement. Seriously, i am pysched.

The long presidents day weekend was not long enough. I want to go back to Utah! Since being back all my roommates are acting weird. Except Kelli. She is my sanity.

Another exciting thing, the Writers Strike is over!!! Finally! I have gone to many months with out Grey's Anatomy. I am having withdrawls. I need it back!!

GNATS!!!

So I am a Horticulture major right? Yes, well sometimes I like it and others I don't. Right now is one of the times that I hate it. I have tropical house plants in my room. Needless to say they are all infected with Gnats! Ya know, the tiny fly like insects that swarm your face while riding your bike down the street, or while taking a nice summer's evening walk. They are everywhere.
Last night I attempted to look up home remedies for how to get rid of them. The one that seemed to be the most popular involved Apple Cider Vinegar, Fly paper, and Sand. We will see how it works. Hopefully it does cuz they are driving me crazy. They are attracted to the light of my computer screen as we speak. I had to scrap the top layer of soil off of the pots to get some of the larvae out. It was disgusting. Then I replaced it with a layer of sand, apparently they can't get through it.
I will keep you updated on the situation. Pray that it gets better, seriously. I don't like waking up in the middle of the night to one buzzing in my ear. I like my sleep to much. Thank you all for the support in reading this. ;)

Utah Celebrity!!

So this weekend was a blast! Me and my sister had a pretty good time. We stuffed ourselves full at Craigo's yesterday!! Holy cow, I have never been that full! We had lunch with our good friend, she is shorter then me and man she can pack it away! I think she had more to eat then I did. ;) It was so fun though. On Friday we went to the Temple Cultral Celebration. That was amazing. I was on the verge of tears the entire time. It was a story of how Eastern Idaho became settled and how we got to where we are today.

Saturday night me and Kira decided to go take pictures of the Rexburg Temple all lit up at night.

It is so Beautiful!! I don't think the picture does it justice. You have to actually be there. Anyway while we were walking around we saw a KSL Channel 5 news van pull up. Now being from Utah this was a big deal to us. It is our local News station. We got pretty excited and decided we wanted pictures in front of it. We asked the Camera man that got out of it if he would mind taking our pictures. He just laughed as we explained we were from Utah and Loved KSL.

(kinda blurry sorry!)

We started talking to him and asking him how the drive was, how he liked the cultral celebration, and the freezing weather. We chatted for quite sometime then asked him who was covering the story. (Now Kira is studying to be a journalist, so this was a pretty big deal to her, just fun for me) He told us that the Religion Specialist Carole Mikita was covering it. We flipped out!!! Carole Mikita!!! Again he just laughed at us and then said she was just grabbing a bite to eat and should be here at any time. She pulled up a few minutes later and came running over to us and gave us huge hugs!! We got to talk to her for about five minutes then she let us take pictures with her!!

(Kira, Carole Mikita!!!, and ME!)

She was the sweetest lady! So very nice, and loved being there in Rexburg to see the Temple. She is even more pretty in person! We have watched her on the news since we were little kids. After we met her we immediatly called our parents, they were of course jealous! Anyway that was our fun adventure this weekend. ;)

5 Feet

  We officially now have 5 feet of snow now. Eww. I am getting so sick of this. I have never pushed as many cars in my life as I have this semester. I am so glad that I have a four wheel drive truck. Yesterday i almost lost all my fingers from moderate frostbite (they have recovered), I had to clean like two feet of snow off of my automobile. Seriously, there is something wrong with all this snow. I hate it.

 Kira's coming tomorrow! Yay! Montana called last night too. But I fell asleep while talking to him. Oops! He was sweet about it though. ;)

  63 days.

65 DAYS LEFT (written during devotional & soils lab)

It's a bad week. Bad day too. I had no one to sit with at devotional. Seems like something that is insignificant, but still lonely. I am sittin ginbetween two couples (in whom I don't know) that are all over each other. Make me even more depressed. I was going to get up and walk out, but decided against it.
My good friend is getting to go through the temple today. She is getting married on Thursday, Bountiful temple. I am happy for her, but sad at the same time. I saw her yesterday in her wedding dress while she was taking her bridals, she looked so beautiful! She was my first friend here, she is younger then me too. Just crazy that she is getting married already.
I am counting down to the end of the semester. 65 days. I was originally going to go on an internship to Nashville, TN this summer. I have been having a hard time getting a hold of people to get things set up. It just hasn't felt right. So now I am moving back home for the summer. I am pretty excited abot it. I love being home with my family. My mom especially. She is excited to have me back home as well. I am just excited for the warm weather. This four feet of snow in Idaho is just killing me. I hate it. I think I have seasonal depression. I need sun and green plants. My life would be much happier with it.
As always I miss my dog too. My family might hate her, but she means a lot to me. It's a comfort factor, at least something other than my family loves me. There is a song by Carrie Underwood called "The more boys I meet, the more I love my dog". SO true for me.
I hate dating. It's hard here. I have been talking to a friend on the phone quite a bit. He is from Montana and goes to Montana State. We were set up on a date by mutual friends over the long weekend in January. We went out twice and I had a really good time! He calls almost every night and we talk for two hours sometimes. What does this mean?! He is fun to talk to and I enjoy it, but I just want to knwo if there is "reasoning" behind it.
65 days couldn't seem longer at the moment. I am thinking of working for the Post Office this summer. Ya know delivering mail. I think it would be one of the funnest jobs in the world! Think about it: you get to be outside all day everyday, paid holidays, every sunday off... what better job is there for a mormon!! My mom thinks I culd get some good money out of it. My sister thinks otherwise. I think I will go for it. Seems like it would be fun and easy.
Soils class and lab suck. Really what kind of things can you say about soil for two hours! Plus there is this girl in both my class and lab that drives me absolutely insane! She is one of those people that will make up lies to get attention from you, or tell you things you could give a crap about. She is in the same major as me as well, so naturally al the planets alined and put her in all my classes. Lame. This semester is turing out to be a blast.
On a lighter subject, any girl out there in need of a good chick flic has got to go see 27 Dresses or P. S. I Love You. They are both amazing! I will be paying more money to see them again in theaters.
My sister is coming this weekend, Yay! I need contact with the world outside of Idaho. She is coming just in time too. The temple dedication is also this weekend too. Lots to look forward to.
