Funny Day @ the U

I ran into Vina yesterday, and of all places, THE school library.

So of course we would be loud talking and laughing like no one else's there

And of course Vina would run into me while I'm studying ( you all know how she likes to distract hehe). I almost missed class I was SO DISTRACTED! so yeah she shared this funny video with me and of course I busted out laughing. So here's the link madearz...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poaNaBXvdNE

and yeah after school, with my lazy self, Sisi Nesi and I j-walked on the busy road and we were actually running in the middle of the road. HAHAHAHAHA people's faces...priceless!

and then on trax I tell this guy to shut up cuz he was talking so loud and inappropirately...but how was I to know he was drunk!

and funny fact I realized yesterday: BYU drinks alot of water(holyholy) and UofU smokes alot of cigarettes ( crackheads)

Officially a Commuter

So. Here's a picture of my old room.

Maybe I'll put pictures of my current living place. lol

Anyways, I used to live in the dorms, but I just moved back this past weekend. I became officially a commuter on Monday, because that's when I checked out. It sucks to be honest. It takes an hour to get to school & an hour back. Plus the time waiting for the trax and what not. And I leave my house at 7:30 in the morning, except Tuesdays & Thursdays :] Then I leave at 9.

I left for a few reasons. Financially, it was hard. Also, my mom really needed help watching the girls [my sister & niece] and help with driving and the house & all that good stuff. And then one of the main reasons was, believe it or not, big surprise, I just had a really hard time living up there. I sort of isolated myself, at least those were the words the social worker told me. With everything that went on this summer, it was just too much for me to handle, and it really sucked. If you don't know what happened, you can ask someone else. So, we finally made the decision to move me out. & therefore, I am currently sleeping in the living room, I live out of my laundry basket and bins in the garage. I have no space whatsoever, so I'm pretty much everywhere. That sucks too.

I think the only ones that knew I moved out was Brookie [of course] & Elizabeth & Chae.

Other than that, school's fine. My classes aren't too bad, except I've been getting behind in my Substance Use/Abuse class, which is a very interesting class. I learned that I am susceptible to becoming an alcoholic. Good thing I only had one drink at that frat party. & it was so good. lol

I went to homecoming with Elizabeth & her friends. It was pretty fun. There was this really really fine guy there. & he was brown! haha

Vina. I'm am so happy that you're letting me to be the one to tell the world. Because you know that's exactly what would happen. I have a big mouth, and I can't help it. haha I can't wait to spread the news. haha

So....I miss you guys! I hope school is going great for you.

& we definitely need a friend reunion around Christmas time, since I would think all of you would be coming back home to spend it with your fams.

To end on a good note. hahaha Representin my school. The U, who is undefeated in the football category!!!!!! GOOOO UTES!!!

haha

MISS YOU GUYS :]

Date in Idaho :)

Nikki is my hero, she saved me...

I got nervous and was sweating pretty bad after i got ready for my date! haha so awkward but thanks Nikki! lol :)

For our date we made homemade pizza and played games, it was WAY fun!

Oh and P.S. this is Bobby, it was hard to find a way good picture cuz he is always just messing around in them but oh well.ha Dont go facebook stalking now, just ask me about him instead! lol haha He is from California just like Brookie except not the same place! ;) Maybe Brookie and him have been surfing together and showed off their mad skills to each other! haha luv ya Brookie Cookie! :)

This is what happens when you have roomies and you get ready for a date. You come out wearing your clothes and then they turn you around and have you wear theirs! haha It was fun though to dress up out of my plain normal saraness! :) (can you believe it I am actually wearing sandals!)
Ha ha I hope you chicas are having a great week and doing well! I love you all and of course miss you! Everytime I look at pictures i miss you even more! Luv ur guts!

Dear Sisters of Zion,

I'm going to the prom tomorrow, and that makes me miss our riding solo to the dances. And today I especially needed some company from 1 of yal becuz I hung out with brock today and I gave out too much info about myself, me and my talkative self. I also missed you all this week, you should see my face as I'm struggling to remember whether I forgot something or left something somewhere. Today, my mom came with dried cherries, and I remembered how you all hated it. I also remember sinny spitting it out and handing it back. I didn't think I'd miss your looney selves this much, thank heavens I have syd

I love this wild bunch,
LizBeth

Haven't posted in a while...

But look what I got for my birthday though! Cute huh? I hate how little my fingers are though, it's still kind of loose.
Anyway, I miss you guys very very very much. It's like a part of me died and I just posted to let you guys know I'm still on the planet somewhere haha.

-Vina

Greetings loved ones,

So far, I've been writing my journal, reading my books, doing my homeworks.
But interesting stuff has happened like I had this weird texting with Travis, so lets not go to his farewell okay Brooke? And long story short Brock cleaned up my brother Keli's vomit. I've seen Brock alot lately. And then I saw prince charming for the 3rd time again at the temple, absolutely looked like a fool. You wouldn't believe what I said, you'd be like "Really Elizabeth?" Anyways my dad's birthday was Friday, he gets crazier every year. Oh, I'm really close with an elderly neighbor, and she had a stroke. Keep her in mind in your prayers. I'm skipping school to help her tomorrow. The name's Jackie and I wish you could all meet her one day.

P.S School is so much more easier when you start ahead on time with assignments, and studying, etc.
Newman ur so big on running, just hearing you talk of it makes me want to sleep for a month. And if people don't get our jokes, its because your not doing your part with showing them the crazy videos.
Rissa don't kill yourself, we still need to hang out, and that concert sounds just right. TEEHEE.
Biggs I love when you call me Peta, i don't know why you do I just love it, like I love you
Brie you totally killed it, I was trying to freak you out that night I was texting you. Were you creeped out? Hey does Austin know my brothers?
Brooke if your going to travis's farewell I don't care, I just don't wana know. But can we go to Tingey's/ Jared's????? Pweezzz
Gang- I love you all

Lots of Randomness and Fun

We decided to go to St. Anthony and try out the Demolition Derby! Ha ha it was way fun but can you say hick town USA? lol

I dont know how many of you knew but 8 of us decided to run the Temple to Temple relay together which is about 38 miles, going from the Rexburg Temple to the Idaho Falls temple! It was such a blast and felt good to have accomplished! haha I miss you guys tons as always, especially when i say our stupid inside jokes, cuz nobody up here understands them! lol I know you are all doing well in school so keep it up! Cant wait to see how you guys are all doing!
Luv ur guts
-Newman :)

:0

i really didn't think i wrote that much on the last one till i looked at it.. sorry it is so long.
oh and that date in there is suppose to be 9-9-10

ryssa

:S memory, no life

So it has been a while.. and the
TRUTH
I forgot about the blog. So sorry.
Reason
Anatomy is taking up all my dang time and memory.
Here is what all the teachers say about anatomy. I quote "Anatomy here at UVU is going to be damn hard. If you want it easy go to BYU." sorry no offense to any of you. i quoted my proffesors. but there is this girl i met in my class and she said her brother was taking it from byu and he had a hole bunch of computer games and it was easy. I don't know if that is true.
but we are one the bones of the axial. I officialy don't like the head. It is the worst to memorize so far. then there is chemistry, i don't like atoms... then psy is coming easy, and intro to nursing is coming easy too. i have test and quizzes every week sometimes 4, i think the most i got up to in a week was 7, i think, it could be more. i lose track these days, and school has barely started.
Anyways...that is really what i have been doing study study study and more study.. oh and did i mention studying.. with some ocassional reffing to have money.
i have some study groups but it is still a lot of studying..

sorry guys. i had pictures of my puppy i just haven't got them up yet.

OH YA! Travis my brother and his girl Amy are now Officially engaged as of 10-9-10... and they may have there wedding finals week for me or new years eve or beginning of january, all crazy dates..

lizabeth miss you to freakin crazy crazy girl... it is so great to hear from you girl.

oh i started riding the bus to UVU and the day and morning rides or good.. but the night rides are absolutely terrible, i get motion or bus sickness everytime, :(...
so i more in less live at UVU but live at home.. it is really annoying to have to drive back and forth early in the morning and late at night..

anyways...i'm off for more studying.
i'll try to get pictures soon.
quick story from the other day... so i was trying to eat my food in the food court area, peacefully and just enjoy my meal.. when this guys comes in and sits right next to my table with his friend.. as the few seconds went on.. i noticed that he kept looking and starring at me... then started asking me questions.. THEN he pulled out his guitar and started singing and making lyrics for my answers that i gave him earlier.. then he finished that song, and started another song of going out and asking a girl out. then finished and said to his friend as he looked at me, "i guess it is up to the girl"... then he started another song, i don't what about, i just down my last few bites of food and left.. what a great peacful meal by myslef ruined.. lol.. but ya.. it was really akward and i was really uncomfortable.. then a couple of days a go.. i saw him again.. and he looked at me and kept walking, thank goodness... that is my story..

lost and lonely ryssa that rarely sees any of you.. well not really lost.

oh ya i almost forgot!! I'm not for sure if I can yet or not. But I may, MAY, be able to get any of you discount tickets if you want to go to the Jason Deurlo, B.O.B., Iyaz, and Auburn concert at the mckay events center oct. 12..not sure time. I may, keyword, but not sure... i don't even know how much they are. oh because i'm rarely around a computer, or get on one anymore, you may want to text me if you want them or not..and i'll look into it more if you guys want.

talk to you all later.
me, see above if you want to or don't remember.. but you should be able to figure it out anyways, cuz i'm the only one that goes to UVU...

i'll try to check more.

Miss you all!

first UTAH STATE football game

Elizabeth it sounds like you don't miss me at all. JUST KINDING!!
I to my first Utah State football game, and they played Idaho State. I went with Saundra and my roomate Cassie. Oh yah the night before I hanged out with Saundra and Jaron from Itineris. We watch the movie Hook, and played games until 2 in the morning. Saundra can never sleep in, and so me went to the game with 4 hours of sleep. Saundra fell a sleep in the game. UTAH STATE WON 38 to 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a huge thing Utah State never wins football games. After, the game Cassie and I went to a Black Light Dance, and of course I dance my heart out. I LOVED THE DANCE!!! I danced with some guy, but don't worry it was dirty dancing. There was a MOSH PIT, and it was so hot.

Love,
littleDionne

Hola Nacho!!!

I talk with some pretty interesting people these days

some person told me "Guys are just like parking spots, all the good ones are taken and the rest are handicap."

I said Amen to that

A good friend told me "Its true that opposites attract, that's why men are so attracted to beautiful and intelligent women."

And I said, "Gosh your fantastic."

Because wherever you go, THERE you are!

Fun Filled Weekend!!

So ya! haha I had a pretty exciting weekend...exciting meaning I actually had something to do lol. Saturday morning at 8 (bright and early!!!) my dad and I headed down to Provo to attend the Intermountain Healing Hearts annual Heart Walk. For those of you who dont know my cousin Noah was born with a heart defect known as Tricuspid Atresia or more 'simply' a three chambered heart among other problems. He is doing amazing now but it was definatly hard on Heather and Gabe for those first few year and after four open heart surgeries he is the most amazing boy! He is our little miracle, well he's not so little anymore haha. I'm really dumb and forgot my camera so I will have to wait for Heather to post pictures before I can put them on here so I apologize for that. 9:30 is when the walk actually started, it was freezing btw, and all we did was walk around the park two times so it was pretty easy lol. After everyone was done walking we took a group picture and then it was time for the Angel ceremony. During the Angel ceremony all the families that have lost loved ones (usually infants) to conginital heart defects get to release a butterfly that represents their child. It is a very touching moment and makes me feel so happy to have Noah with us. After the walk we all went to the Pie Pizzeria for lunch! It was delicious as always.

Then Syd, Brie, Brooke and I all went down to Biggs and Brookies apartment in Provo!! We hung out at their place for awhile and then went over to Zuppas to get some dinner. It was really good! Then we had a fun adventure at the store before going back to the apartment and watching Hercules in Adams apartment haha.

Typical Biggs face ahah

The back of Squid haha

My cute little piggy bank!!!


Then it was Gabes grandmas birthday on Sunday...well we had her birthday dinner Sunday haha. And that was very fun, I love being with my family.

So anyway that was my weekend!!

Love your squishy guts!

-Nicoe

Hello my little croissants!!!

I have to say I'm always the last to know things, like this blogging business, which be the way is SUPER-DI-DUPER! sinny told me about it. Seems sinny's always telling me about things. Shoo, das coo. Anyways I've been roaming around on this thing, super stuff. Brie how's the love life with that RM? And when do you go to byu idaho?? Nicole, how's Westminister? Have you made any friends, I havent ( not really at least). Hey there to the BYU idaho twinners, you guys seem to be doing fine. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST rissa!!!! man I freakin miss you like FREAKING miss you like miss you freaking miss you. Gosh okay so some of us have disappeared, sinny and I ran into Chae on the first day but that was it, has anyone hear from her? And Vina as well for that matter. Her new nickname should be AsianSensation, cause its got rhythm.

Oops how rude of me, mahhh bad! Where's my cookie brookie???

Okay update time. You guys need to tell me your summer mmhkay??? Cause mine was fantastic, and so busy. But no worries, I did get to reading at least ten books. Seems that all I can remember, but I'm sure i did more than that. You know how I am with my forgetful self.

That's me on my way to

school, I was so nervous the night before but in the morning, I was shining like a star, you can't stop my shine.

AND THIS IS MY VERSION OF "NEWMAN". miss that freak. and here's me, nesi, and sisi acting like a fool with our pants off the ground.

here's nesi, rachel (she's crazier than all of us put together), bef, sis, and Cori (we consider her poly). That picture after is us making friends. Now they call us "The Ladies"

Me and my Gorilla man making love TEEHEE. And that's me trying to tell a funny story. I was trying to put out 3 fingers, but two only came. Unfortunately that became the funny story because "Elizabeth can't teo the difference of two and three". I laughed so hard that day I nearly pissed my pants...JOKES!

This is what's happened so far since school started. Love you guys.

Life

I have been having a great time at Utah State. I LOVE MY ROOMATE Liz and Cassie.

My other roomates Katie and Jamie are nice but I don't see them that much. I have joined a Best Buddies which is where you have a special needs friend. Also, I am in an ASL club. I have gone to Iron Man 2 on the field, play ultimate frisbee, and just hanging out with my roomates. Over Labor Day weekend I went home. I meet my exchange student Lisa who is from Germany. SHE LIKE A LOT LIKE ME!!! I went boating with my family it was some much fun!!!!

Sorry guys

So I haven't really been doing anything and thats why I haven't posted anything haha. But for Labor Day weekend I did spend the entire weekend away from my dorm lol, I went to my cousin Addies house and had a fun weekend. I saw 3 movies!!! Scott Pilgrim vs the World, The Other Guys, and Avatar! I would highly recommend all of them btw.

Here is Noah and Zane being boys and playing video games

And here is Noah posing while eating a burrito, and yes it is very hard to do (I knew you were wondering).

Like all of you guys already know I miss you so much! Why didnt we all go to the same college?!?! Thats my big question. Oh and I also went to Sonic with Newman which you will see in her post ;)

-Nicoe

Just Like Good Ol' Times! :)

We both got to go to the game! I love BYU football! And Sara's randomness and her watching other people more than the actual game makes it that much better and makes me laugh! haha :)

GO COUGARS!! WAHOO what a good game! :) 23-17!

We used to go get Sonic all the time while we were studying!

We went to Sonic today and talked for a while just like we used to! haha Gotta love Sonic! :)

Happy Hour Strawberry Limeades! :) YUMMY!
Well I got to see four of you chicas this weekend (Nikki, Sara, Nicole & Aryssa) and that sure was good and fun to see you! Hopefully next time I can see the rest of you too! I miss you guys like crazy! Good luck with school this week chicas! Luv ur guts!
-Newman :)

sisters!

the other day I was reminded(once again) how much I look like my sisters. I thought I would show you all to see if you can see similarities....and to show Nicole that I might look more like my other sisters as well. (the only problem is..the two sisters that I think I look the most like- aren't in this picture!)

The other reason I'm posting this picture is becuase I got to come home this weekend and see all my sisters! It has been great!

I also have some other great "sisters" back in Rexburg whom I have grown to love so much! these girls are AWESOME!


p.s. sorry I haven't posted in a while.... I think Sara has done a fabulous job of describing our life up in Rexburg. I basically just do what she does. ;)
