some good things

Katy gets here tomorrow! With Mom and Dad and Chester!

I've been reuniting with boys from freshman year!

I'm all moved in and almost all unpacked!

My friends from all aspects of my life are coinciding!

Ashley and I reorganized/cleaned the kitchen and living room!

I have new carpet and couches!

At long last, I'm dating Kyle Vaughn!

I miss Lucy

I think about her all the time. I had a dream about her the other night--she was like 2 or 3, and was an exact image of me when I was that age. It made me cry a lot for some reason. I'm really sad that I'm missing out on so many months of growing up. She rolls over now! I'm so sad to miss it. And Christy's pictures of Lucy in her new Jumperoo were so adorable--more tears were shed. I wish there was a way for Lucy to come visit me. I got so used to having a baby around.

Summer's over! Almost. So close. Can't wait. AHHH long week.

Saturday was my last day at Aegis. I'm glad it's over, but I'll miss some people (especially Peggy) and I know that it was good for me. And not JUST because it boosted my self-esteem. I did something hard that I originally hated, which usually I avoid. I'm really good at cleaning now. I made lots of money. I learned how to be really nice to disagreeable people who are mean in response. I got to help people, and love old people even though they're scary sometimes.

I read so many books this summer. And took a lot of baths. I will miss both those things in Provo. Plus I'll miss Lucy. She's going to be so grown up when I see her again. I don't like the idea of saying goodbye to her.

I thought this summer was going to be the bleakest and most despair-ridden 4 months of my life. Luckily, it was 1 terrible month, 2 months of progressing hope and excitement, and now the final month(ish) will be joyful in Provo! I can't imagine what (who) caused the change.

So, I leave in 4 days. My paper chain is SHORT.

Lucy's Performance

My favorite song from Mom's kindergarten class. Lucy's really good at it.

I'm kind of in love...

...with Ninja Warrior. Specifically, this guy. Nagano Makoto.

He is THE Ninja Warrior.

Aight. Kayla used her blogger power to declare that I have to write 8 facts about myself, and my instinct told me to say HECK NO but then at the same time I found out she's PREGNANT!!!! Whoa man, congratulations. Little mini-Kaylas running around=a good thing. I can't really say no to a newly pregnant woman, so here goes.

1. I really like hygiene. I use it a lot. This summer, I usually take a shower in the morning before work, and a bath later on in the evening. There have been days where I took two showers or two baths. I'm not saying that's right, but it's just who I am right now. I wouldn't take a bath in filthy Park Place tubs though, so that habit's gotta be kicked.

2. I'm getting less concerned about looking good all the time. That's awkward to say. I'm just getting less vain, I think. It's mostly apparent when I make weird faces at cameras--I used to be too worried about looking ugly to do that. Sad, huh. I think this is a healthy thing. Also, I'm now okay with wearing sweatpants, and being in public with no makeup. I think I'm growing up!

3. I'm not good at many things, but I've identified at least 2: actor names and spelling. That's going to take me far.

4. Shopping at Williams-Sonoma makes me want to get married.

5. Most people already know this--I love drinking. All kinds of drinks. Favorites--lime-related drinks, cran-related drinks, chocolate milk, Sprite, Sunkist orange soda, and Dr. Pepper. I just need to like drinking water more.

6. I'm scared I'll have really really heinously ugly kids. Lucy is so dang gorgeous, I don't want my kids to be jealous of their cousin! I'll still love them though.

7. I'm a snob when it comes to literature, food brands, and states. That's not toooo bad though. Oh and movies and sometimes music. I'm a huge jerk.

8. I'm a gossip-monger! I didn't really know that until recently. I felt really bad in RS this week. It's not because I want to spread discontent and hatred. I just can't help but talk about interesting things that I hear about.
