Win or Lose You're Gonna Be Alright


I'm currently sitting in my apartment alone on a stormy Sunday evening. So what could be better than using this time to blog a little? Today was an AWESOME day. I went to Hermana Bunkall's homecoming and she gave one of the most powerful talks I've heard in a while. I mean, minus all the General Authorities I've heard speak the last 3 weeks...but seriously it was incredible. Sitting in the back and reflecting on how this girl standing at the podium was SOOOO different than the missionary I trained a year and a half ago...it was just a good reminder of the power the atonement and the gospel has to change people. 

THEN I GOT TO HUG PRESIDENT WOODBURY!!!! Seriously though. Highlight of my life. He is like Santa Claus. Santa Claus mixed with the old man from Up. Can you imagine for a year and a half being told you aren't allowed to hug Santa Claus?? Not that he's at the North Pole or busy delivering presents...he is standing right in front of you, but you aren't ALLOWED to touch him. Yeah...sad isn't it? Go ahead. You can shed a tear. 
This is how cool my President is...
Oh you know...just my favorite person ever chilling with my second parents (or third I guess cause I mean-the Medleys)...they're tight like that
Sooooo...just imagine that this sentence somehow transitions talking about Santa Claus to talking about the text messages I get from my little sister. I'm too lazy to actually try to make a reasonable connection...well lazy...and also doubtful that it can be done.

Oh! Did I just hear you all say in perfect unison that you super loved my last blog and would really really really like to read another one almost exactly like it?? Awesome! Cause that happens to be what I have for you today! So I guess just read and enjoy. And try not to be too jealous of what we have. :)


That's what sister's are for



Just in case you were unsure about my current feelings towards One Direction. 



This is after I had listed about 10 rules I am going to enforce when we live together



Always using me for my mad Spanish skills



So much truth in this text



I literally have this conversation with Britt at LEAST once a month



Sometimes Britty dreams...and sometimes I smash those dreams with my fist



This one's really just to show you how funny I am
Hope you enjoyed those cause I sure do...also just thought I'd let you know of another funny thing that happened this weekend...soooo Friday night I went to a High School football game...the first HS football game I've EVER watched...didn't go to a single one in high school but now that I'm a senior in college...why not?? My friend's boyfriend-before-her-mission-but-currently-it's-complicated's little brother plays for Salem Hills so we went to watch his game with her. Good times were had by all. Once she sends me one of the hundreds of pictures we took I'll add it on here.






Oh and let me just say...it was the first time I was ever part of the big, fun group of Tongans at the football game and it was tight!! They are all so phony! (In case all you white people aren't aware phony in Tongan slang is kind of used like funny) I was practicing my Tongan slang all night..."Show her how to use hecka in a sentence...how many people are here?" "There's hecka people here." I have a new motto: if you're at a football game and you're not sitting by a Tongan...you're doing it wrong.

Also everyone needs to listen to Scoreboard by Apollos Hester. Best thing in the world.

    I didn’t realize you weren’t allowed to hug your mission president! Classic description of him-- judging from the picture of him, you nailed it.

    I love that you were feeling too lazy to transition from Santa Claus to Britt. Here, I’ll do it for you:
    “As we’ve learned from Tim Allan, Santa Claus loves hot cocoa. I love hot cocoa too. Once, I made a mug for hot cocoa and mistakenly spelled it ‘hot coco.’ My sister Ana made fun of me for it. Now let me talk all about the hilarious text and facebook exchanges we have. Oh wait, actually, I never share the stuff that Ana and I talk about, so let me share my texts with my younger sister Britt instead.”

    I gotta give Britt props for the bathroom music one. I’ve had that same thought (cuz remember, I invent all inventions after they’re invented but before I know they’re invented)…and given your public bathroom issues, you probably need to make that happen. Put it on your list of things to be looking for in your graduate school.

    Oh, and that scoreboard video, hilarious! Though I think the original interview was actually even funnier.
