Update!

There is a lot going on in my life right now. So I'll tell you all about it and I have a funny story about fries... :D

Mission Call

Winter semester ended over a week ago and I went home on Wednesday the 21st and turn my mission papers in on Thursday the 22nd! It's crazy that it's already here! I'm so excited though... I just found out last night that I'll be getting my call next week on Wednesday most likely, and if not then on Thursday. I'm going back to California to open it, sorry An... sorry Lynne. :D I still love you and you will be on the phone when I open it. I'm excited to find out where and when I'm going, because I just had a dream last night that I got called to the Uruguay Mission, yeah that's Ryan's mission, and for April 7th. hmmm.... In my dream that was really soon but I thought about it this morning and it very well could have been for next year. but that would be crazy! We don't want that.

Liberty Square

I just moved from Heleman Halls to Liberty Square for Spring Term and I'm very glad I did. I love living in an apartment so much better than living in a room... a small room. haha my room here is bigger and then I have a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and even a small hallway. haha Yeah it's great. made myself some eggs this morning for breakfast. My roommates are pretty cool guys. We seem to get along great.

Family

Can I tell you how much I LOVE that my parents come up so often. They might as well live here. haha Except I really love California. A lot! I've spent a lot of time with my sisters and my brother-in-laws and my mom this past week. It's great. I LOVE OUR FAMILY!

Fry Story

We went to Smash Burger for lunch yesterday and when we walked in an older couple was leaving. They left a little bit of fries in their fry basket on the table so I dared Andrea to eat one. She didn't even respond but instead dared me to... so I did. hahaha The end. :D

Baby Sitting Cadence

Here she is, walking all over the house. Makes it a little harder to babysit when she starts running away from you. ...but it makes it more fun. :D She's so cute!

All Grown Up

It's sometimes weird to think that I'm in college. I often felt growing up that all my siblings would grow up and I would always stay young. I guess it's still true... they're just ancient now, and I'm a little older, but still young compared to them. Recently though I've felt like I'm in college because I'm doing projects and learning things you would never learn in high school. I just finished two projects that I never would have thought about doing in high school. One we made a solar power water heater, and the other I designed a Las Vegas Hotel using a 3D modeling computer program called AutoCAD. These projects are legit! So yeah, when you start doing things you would never do in high school, that's when you realize you're in COLLEGE!!!

Slightly Embarrassing... Ridiculously Funny!

My parents came up to Utah for conference this past weekend and we went to dinner of course! So we're walking into Cheesecake Factory to get cheesecake, naturally, and we're crossing the road right in front of the restaurant. Before we start crossing we see this car coming and we can tell by how fast it was going that it wanted to get passed before we crossed. So we let it pass by but only enough so that we can go right behind it... you know like we all do... that way we don't have to stop and wait till it passes. So I time it just right so I don't have to slow down too much when all of the sudden this car SLAMS on its brakes, comes to a dead stop and I slam right into the side of the car! ...yeah, I hit a car. WITH MY BODY!!! and of course Andrea saw it, my mom saw it, Lynne saw it and Ryan saw it. Andrea was laughing so hard that she might as well have been rolling on the ground laughing, and so of course that made me laugh. needless to say, we ALL got a good laugh.

And I have no idea whether the car did this on purpose to make me run into it or not, but if it did, they are my new favorite people.

Look how far we've come...

This is only slightly ridiculous. Can you imagine. and they're supposed to start taking people up next year or something. Wanna go to space? It will cost you $200,000.

It's a Beautiful Day!

45 degrees in Provo equals Jeffrey Duff in shorts and sandals BABY! I'm going hiking today because it's such a BEAUTIFUL day! And then in a week I'll be in California weather!! ...cause I'll be in CALIFORNIA!

Old Joy Found

WAFFLE CRISP!!! When I was young I used to eat Waffle Crisp all the time. But then out of nowhere I stopped eating it. I think it was because my mother stopped buying it cause it was no longer on sale like all the other cereals. She never buys stuff unless it's on sale or it's at Costco. BUT GUESS WHAT!!! They sell Waffle Crisp at the CREAMERY!!!!! I'm eating them right now. mmmmmmm... Childhood is calling... Enjoy some of my favorite Waffle Crisp commercials.

And this beauty...

Tell me you're not DYING of joy right now... yeah, that's what I thought.

Mason

My little cousin Mason is the coolest kid I know. I haven't seen him a REALLY long time and I miss him terribly. I've been thinking about him today. Love you Dahl's!

Take a rest!

It's a weird thing procrastination. I flat out kicked it's butt last week, but I still find myself behind. Well, only on one thing. BUT STILL! Can't Procrastination just take a rest already so I can take a rest?

Chuggin' Along

So this semester feels like studying and homework NON STOP! I don't know if you have realized this or not, but I have... I've been in school since September of 2008 NON STOP! It's a little crazy but at the same time I wouldn't have it any other way. I love learning and I love it here at BYU. But right now I'm ready for a small break. I've been chuggin' along for a long time now constantly worrying about tests or homework, hoping for a time when I wont have anything to do. But that time will never come so I just keep chuggin' along. It's a hard life sure... but one special person in my life has always told me that I can DO hard things. So I just keep chuggin' along. I don't sleep much cause I'm studying a lot, and I haven't had a good nap in a long time. But I just keep chuggin' along.

It's hard to put a finger on what it is that's keeping me going. Generally, I'm just happy.

I like this song right now.
