Someone help me with my problem!

I'm just a little addicted to Edward Cullen.
I know you may make fun of me, but if you read it, you would undertstand and i know it.
haha,
jacque, read it.
Leesh, since you want to watch the movie, you should read it first,
just advice,
but i really wanna go see it with mommy,.
So lets.
I just got home from it, but i could see a hundred more times and NEVER EVER EVER get sick of Edward Cullen.
The more the merrier.
I love you all.
(And Edward)
(NO, i'm in love with Edward, sorry)

Pilgrims and (Dot?) Indians

yyyaaaay! last night we all went to a pilgrims and indians pie party at james brown's house and we had such a good time eating tons of different pies (i MADE my own pie, thankyouverymuch) and dancing and just hanging out.  i actually made that headdress that i'm wearing and it took me hours to figure out how to get it to look legit.  turned out pretty sweet i thought... i'll probably end up wearing it around town sometimes.. you know me!  and of course, aaron decided to come dressed as the only dot indian at the party... he got lots of laughs from that! love you all!!

I LOVED TWILIGHT!! i went and saw the midnight showing tonight. it was awesome. im going to start reading the books now. and if anyone remembers me reading harry potter....it could be very similar to that. we shall see.
love you all.

sarah you are going to love it!!

Benny & Joon

Last night I watched this fabulous movie and truly fell in love with Johhny Depp all over again. This is a wonderful romantic comedy where a crazy, eccentric and humorous Sam (Depp) befriends a funny mentally ill girl, Joon. For all of the Johnny lovers in our fam bam (cough SARAH cough) this is a MUST SEE. Not to mention, he dresses soooooo fabulous throughout the entire movie- can you say Charlie Chaplin minus the sicko stache? As of last night, I am on the hunt to watch every motion picture that Johnny Depp has ever been in because c'mon people, who can resist a face like this...

p.s. it's only rated PG. great family flick!

CLARIFICATION!!

FAMILY!!! let me just clear some things up really fast....

I DO NOT HAVE A FIANCE!!!
im not dating anyone. i havent even been on a date.
there's this boy i've talked to once who is cute. i havent seen him in over a week. i dont even know the kid.
well now that thats out of the way.
hope you all had a great day!

Hey Jacque!!!!!!!!!!!
Where's the pix of your....
fiancé ????????

you know so much about me

so i decided to do a quick little post about the person i spend the majority of my time with. here are some little little things about aaronious:
he has a radical motorcycle! we rode it around everyyyyyywhere this summer!
aaron is obsesssssed with coke you have no idea. we truly have to stop and get a 32 oz. at the gas station every time we get in the car. it's silly.
he loves jason mraz a lot a lot so i bought us tickets to his salt lake show! he's a real swell jazzy man.this is aaron's mother when the three of us went and saw the world's only soda springs! she's the sweetest lady and cooks delicious sunday dinners yummmmm

this is aaron's absolutely hilarious sister sara and her boyfriend andy. they live in salt lake so we go up to visit them lotsss. this was just a couple weekends before halloween when aaron and andy carved pumpkins using power tools. sooooooo funny.
sara and andy had this gorgeous baby names ty just about a month ago and i am in loooooove with him. the sweetest baby that ever did live.

sara cuts aaron's hair on a regular basis and has decided to leave this funny little rat tail at the back of his neck to see how long it will get. sillyyyy stuff.and lastly, the infamous wrecking of chrissy's car. aaron was driving. and there were guts and poop everywhere. such a scary experience. i have tons more pictures of the car wreck so let me know if you want to see them. it was pretttty gnarly. RIP gus gus.

Well family, I love college! it's fantastic!

this is my room.

and this is my view. except the trees dont look like that anymore : [

Ive been playing intramural basketball with some girls and we went undefeated and won our championship game tonight. we got a tshirt!

i love my roomate courtney. she's really cool and we get along very well...she's probably gonna come visit during xmas break : ]

kevin and i hang out or see eachother everyday...we have our lunch crew!

also in this picture is our friend joe. were good friends and we have movie nights a lot in our room!

i love my ward, it's interesting....

im really glad we are doing this. I love you all! hope everyone is doing well.

This is just feerrr Chrissy:

I love your body.
Sorry, spaced it lover.
I do miss you terribly!
Before I was just shoutin' out to the peeps i was going to see soon.

But you my dearest KISSY, I love you.
I hope Orlando was fun, i bet it was, you lucky little poopy face.

Love Sarah

oh, just a few snaps

How did our family get so radical? Basically I love us all a lot. And I miss you all a lot too!

I figured we might as well just keep rollin hard core with all this blog posting. The more excitement is starts off with, the better potential for taking off and be SWEEEEEEEEET. Plus I'm in a real bad mood cuz my car suckkkks so maybe this will help! Special thanks to Leesh for putting this all together. It looks GREAT.

I know most of you are aware I've been hoppin all over the country lately, so I figured I'd throw in a few pictures to show you the scenes!

*Leesh, Aaron, Andre, and I decided to head down to OCEANSIDE a few weeks ago to pay a visit. We hung out with Ioana (woohooo!) and we stopped by and said Hi the Rowe's, which was of course fantastic and HILARIOUS. And we even went swimming, even though the water was reallll cold.

*I was a kitten for Halloween and Libby was Sarah Palin. It freaked me out cuz she looked just like her! But luckily I was spending my evening with the real Libby, not Mrs. Palin. Us in the same room could be dangerous! ;) Last month I went to Las Vegas for work, and hooked up with BOTH of these Europeans! JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING. I definitely did not. That would be gross. Just like they are gross...

And last but not least, I went to ORLANDO! It was super fun, and great to get away from the chilly Utah weather. We wore shorts and t-shirts the whole time!

And that's a wrap! Now tell me about your love lives or something dramatic. Ive been watching countless hours of Grey's Anatomy lately (it's a sad, sad addiction) and I decided I need some of my own drama to liven things up. So make some up already!

WOW. Can I please be really awesome...

and post up my love for Edward Cullen on here.
Sorry guys, I gottss to get pumped for the movie this friday!
Okay? Okay. Thanks.
The bottom one is the actor in the movie, but the top one looks more like Edward himself.
I just know this will bug you guys because, ohhhh guess what, you haven't read the books and don't understand.
Henry Cavill, the top picture, is my lover, p.s. and Robert Pattinson, is hanging right next to my bed.
Just an update.
Lovessssss

Holler for a Doller.

Hello family!
This would have to be the firsstt time i've entered the blogging world on my own account. I guess you could say im a newb..a fat one.
I love you all. Here is a picture from Halloween with my lover face Carla.

annalicia and erik- i can't wait to see you guys! I hecka miss you!
jack attack-i miss you mucho, even when i don't even realize you haven't been with us all this time when you come visit us.
ORR as the English would say, "pay a call"

yes, i am re-reading A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and A Sweet Far thing, by Libba Bray.
They are splendid. So i'm a little obsessed with England and all that good stuff.
So farewell lovers!

Well howday howday holy cowday.

Yeah props props to Leesh and C-money for dis thang! I have a warm and soothing gut feeling that this will be a grrrrreat place for us to CONNECT. Well, i gotta get to my calc class now, oh, and that is a picture of where i live. I just took it.
