and...

well. i woke up this morning,
{got a letter from my best friend...i'm really missing him a lot. a lot a lot.}
started on my homework and studying i put off yesterday
{not too bad. i don't really regret not doing it last night. only a little.}
but then i looked at what i need to have done before the end of the semester,
which is in like a month,
which really isn't a long time,
and i may have had a little stress freak out..

but then i remembered..
lately, when i have written down everything i need to do for the week
i get overwhelmed.
and every week i pray to my father in heaven to just help me get it all done.
and he always does,
and i come out of the week feeling like it wasn't as much as it seemed to be.
i'm optimistic that this will be the same.
i can only hope right?

well i guess i should stop blogging and get to it!

rebel..kind of

so today i may have had all these plans to finish homework
and study
and what not....
and i may have not really done any of it.
...
because....
well, i did field work this morning {that's good}
and i still went to class {one of them}
but then the time that i thought i had to study and do homework
suddenly became not very much time...
due to the fact that i:
had a relief society meeting,
missed my second class to
go to a friend's mission call opening {ryan head is going to India, english speaking!},
and we stayed at his house for a bit after,
then on the way home met annie, trent, and david at chilis,
took emmie home,
then helped annie and trent film a video,
and suddenly it's almost midnight...
kind of felt like a rebel because i knew i had stuff to do and decided to put it off,
knowing i may regret it in the morning.

i really enjoyed today. a lot.
but we will see how i feel in the morning!

you could say we enjoy each others company...

well.
you'd think that because we live together,
we might get
even a tad sick of each other.
or at least feel like we spend enough time together.

however.
because we are the friends that we are,
every so often we say to each other:
"i feel like we haven't had some good quality annie/aubrey time for a while"
and after these occasional {and by occasional i mean bi-weekly} happenings
we usually plan a night
to keep to ourselves,
sit on the floor,
eat food {cafe rio, more often than not},
catch up on our tv shows,
have some chats,
jam on the ukulele,
take pictures,
laugh of course,
and literally just enjoy each others' company.
we don't have to be talking the whole time,
we don't have to be doing anything big,
but we just have a good time together.

i love these nights.
and i can't get enough of them!

oh college

lazy college dinners

random college shopping lists for walmart:

paper clips

shampoo

packing tape

markers

disposable camera

headphones

cadbury eggs

magazine

notepad

oh the college life.

also why not fill the night with wearing your hat backwards

and trying to be a boy

with some help from some of "the guys" 

{chance on the left. jono on the right}

{PS we like to call this a mapple stack:

haha}

and another!

another farewell today!

elder hunter glover!
i've totally grown up with this kid,
who is now a man.

i was very impressed and touched by his talk
on revelation.
it really is so amazing that god still talks to us today!

he will be such a great missionary!!

Good luck elder!!

{PS he's going to paris, france.... SO JEALOUS}

daaaaaaate

red lobster for dinner.
crab legs for him {brought out in a casserole-like dish haha}. very entertaining to watch!
jumbo coconut shrimp for me! with pina colada sauce!
yummmm!
and i bet you don't hear this compliment very often:
"it's nice to go on a date with a girl who actually eats."
hahahaha
what can i say?
i was hungry..
and i loooove seafood!


"Rumors" at westminster

hilarious!
a little cussing?
ok a lot of cussing...
BUT my date apologized, he didn't know.
still a really funny show though!

yogurtland for dessert.
delicious.
and i'd recommend the place just to talk to the owner.
what a swell guy!

i'd call it a successful date!

tee hee

me and mckay are funny:)

that boy is my best friend!

and may the odds be ever in your favor...

we've been preparing for oh so long.

this has been my desktop background for the last month

re-read the book to freshen up.

listening to the soundtrack

viewing is mandatory

t shirt. check.

katniss braid. check.

7 minutes and 59 seconds.

and here is what i have to say about it.

good and bad things

{ps the following may contain spoilers...but you should have read the book anyways!}

1. i wish madge was in the movie and gave the pin the katniss like in the book. 

2. the fact that there was hardly any background music really added to the movie in a very good way.

especially during the reaping {totally cried} and when it was silent during the blood bath.

3. the fire costumes were a let down :( i was expecting much more fire. like a LOT more and i wish cinna had told them to hold hands, like in the book, rather than peeta just grabbing her hand.

4. they nailed the characters. everyone was perfect down to cinna's gold eyeliner.

5. cinna is the man.

6. thank goodness they didn't drag out cato's death like in the book. 

7. i didn't like the end of the movie. they didn't do the whole scene where katniss basically says she was faking everything and assumed peeta was faking everything too, but he wasnt. that didn't happen in the movie...

so yes, i have my critiques. but basically, i refuse to not like the movie.

i was the same way with harry potter.

i'd definitely see it again!

2 things.

1. me and annie have matching NICE new ukuleles! happy early birthday!

i was so surprised!

2. me annie and trent may or may not have done a cover of kelly clarkson's "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" with the guitar, ukulele, and.......flute. yup i pulled out ol' fantasia. its pretty rad....it was the last thing i saw happening tonight!

goooood times.

ehh hemm..

my voice is shot.

it's extremely difficult for me to belt celine dion....

it's pretty annoying.

that's all.

Ohhhh no. it's mooooonday.

spring break is over.
it's snowing.
me and annie missed the shuttle because our kitchen clock is slow.
my room is messy.
the justin bieber poster fell off the door.

curse you monday.

at least we got a good laugh out of it.
haha you can thank hoops and yoyo for that one!

yay...

sleep decided to be my friend again.
4 hours last night {that's good for me considering how much i've slept this week}
and a 7 hour nap after church.
i was out cold.
and it felt sooooo goooood.

still a little sore throat
still a runny nose
still plugged ears

but i've felt better than i have all week!
i give credit to a blessing my father gave me,
the meds and care my mom gave me,
and annie's tylenol.
oh it worked wonders.

so because i went to church
and then slept the day away,
the night brought me the following:

so maybe from these pictures i can see why people think we are sisters... :)

while taking these pictures we were skyping with mckay

while sitting on the kitchen floor

trying to find something to eat....

hahahaha. i love it.

wrap it up with a video

thank you

and goodnight.
