wednesday night thoughts.

  • i have no idea how my room can get SO messy SO fast. monday afternoon my room was spotless. i've been home and awake for maybe 5 hours of the last 48. how does this happen?!
  • two words. curve. ball.
  • i have a sick obsession with shopping. when i was putting my clothes away tonight i realized i had 4 yellow cardigans that are almost the exact same color. only differences? what the are embellished with, and where the ruffles are located.
  • it was a year ago all this was happening. i was convinced that i would never stop hurting. slowly the pain of it all went away. i'm happy to say that today i'm genuinely happy for him, and so grateful for my own personal progress through it all.
  • there are few things i hate more than getting ready {you know hair, makeup, dressed the whole bit, i'm sure that surprises most of you}. there are even fewer things i hate more than getting ready on a day off.
  • logan this weekend with bridge. snowshoeing, shopping, eating, aggie basketball. can't wait.
  • i hope that whoever i marry got straight A's in ironing in the MTC.... not only do i hate ironing, but i'm awful at it. aw.ful. seriously, how do you iron a sleeve without creasing the other side of the sleeve?
  • how in the h.e.double hockey sticks do you fold a fitted sheet?
  • be patient with people. you just NEVER know the burdens they are silently bearing.
  • i've made a goal not to swear. i never realized how much i swore until i stopped.
  • i'm a neat freak. i need everything to be in it's proper place.
  • i went to a utah basketball game last night. blah. nothing to be excited about.
  • spring fever has hit. i'm dying for winter to be over. i want the yucky black piles of snow gone. i want to see bright colors everywhere i look. i want to put a skirt on, and not worry about tights. i'm sick of wearing coats. i want to be outside, enjoying nature. i want to feel the warmth of the sun on my body when i walk outside. i want to spend my saturdays walking up and down the aisles of farmer's market. green grass and flowers..... i better stop now before i burst into tears.
  • monday i was reminded why public pools are so disgusting.
  • i thought i bombed my humanities test last week, turns out i got a B. i'll take it.
  • people are always asking me if i'm never going to have kids because of the sheer amount of time i spend with them. truth be told, i can't wait.
  • "faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we will do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course entirely uncertain." -president hinckley

ha... kaelee... i was just going to say...
i'm awesome at ironing. i love it. once i start, i can't stop. i will iron everything! even things that don't need to be ironed. i like things to look freshly pressed.

also, i am very good at folding a fitted sheet. just so you know.
