My Magic Apartment.

Something very magical happened while I was at worked today. I came home to a perfectly spotless bathroom! I was so confused, I know I didn't clean it and Mikell (who I share my bathroom with) is in Salt Lake. I texted Nicole to see if she did it, and she said no. The more I looked at my bathroom I decided someone had to have cleaned it, I called her and she swore to me that she didn't. She said that some ladies came and did it today. I have no idea who these people were, why they did it, or how they got in. But hey I'll take the magic cleaning elves any day! Needless to say it made my day, and I love nothing more then having a clean bathroom! I just hope they make this a weekly occurrence cleaning my apartment room by room! (I don't think these pictures to the bathroom justice! It smells clean, feels clean, and looks amazing! Heidi you would be in clean bathroom heaven!)

This is my clean skin and vanity area!
The really clean floor and toilet, I don't think the toilet has ever looked that good. The CLEAN shower, they legit scrubbed it, there was black all over the bottom.
They even folded my toilet paper cool, it's like I live at a hotel!

I must confess!

I felt like my post about fasting was a little misleading. Although I did fast until 6:30 last night, I'm not as righteous as you all think I am. I was supposed to meet with my bishop at 4:45 last night, well 5:00 rolls around, then 5:15, then 5:30, then finally at 5:40 he comes out of his office! He only talked to me for about 15 minutes and then sent me on my way. Well lets be honest, almost an hour late on a fast Sunday, I was NOT a happy camper. The whole time I sat there I was so mad, and trying to be kind of loud so he would hear that I was outside. (Well as loud as one can be by themselves!) By the time I left I was so iterated that I waited so long for what seems like such a stupid interview. I knew I didn't have much (ok any) food at my apartment, so I decided I was already probably gluten for punishment because I had such a bad attitude about waiting, I decided that I should probably stop at Cafe Rio on my way home. So I did, in the back of my mind I was kind of thinking, " hope it tastes gross so I won't break the Sabbath again". Oh my gosh!!!!! I honestly think it was THE BEST Cafe Rio I have ever had! YUMMY! Princess read my blog and made fun of me that I was getting all these compliments about being righteous, when in reality I really wasn't! So now I'm setting the record straight, don't be proud, or look up to me. I am not a good example and you shouldn't look up to me! Sorry to disappoint you all!

Fast Sunday

OK, some days I forget to eat breakfast and even lunch. (Really busy days at work.) Some days I have to make myself eat breakfast and even lunch. However when fast Sunday rolls around I wake up starving and thirsty! Today I woke up absolutely parched, I went to get a drink and I remembered it was fast Sunday! I think God makes us extra hungry and thirsty on fast Sunday. OH, and my block starts at one today, then I have a bishop's interview right after! Oh man, I'm hungry!

And my thoughts are...

Another week has already come and gone! I have had many thoughts this week, so without further adieu,
-Is there anything better then snuggling down in your blankets after a long day?!
-Today I put on khaki pants and a downeast shirt, and I thought to myself, "What did I ever do before I owned these?!" LOVE that feeling!
-I got another new roommate this past week. I really like her. (in a very non-gay way!)
-I made a killer fun-fetti cake yesterday. (I ate some of it before we even sang to Nicole!)
-Budgets are WAY over rated!
-I always wish guys would hit on me, but as soon as they do, I hate it and think it's super awkward!
-Brad has been gone for 16 months on Sunday! Do you know what that means? Only 8 months left!
-It's August! (what happened to July?!)
-Jill finished her summer semester today! YAY JILL!!!!!
-Jenny starts high school this month! Is that weird to anyone else? She is too little, I was 3 times her size going into high school.
-Once again, I wish the church had a special tithing program for college students!
-I was doing really good with operation get skinny, and then yesterday happened.
-Seriously I don't know how Ben does anything without me (including getting dressed)! Yesterday he called me from the grocery store to ask what kind of sunscreen he should get! HELLO!?
-Yesterday I watched TV for the first time in weeks!
-I think I might end up being one of those creepy cat ladies when I'm older.
-I think I have maybe met Kristin once, but she is my favorite "stranger"!
-Isn't blogging crazy that you can know so much about a person without really meeting them!
-I never thought the day would come, a little girl called me "Lady" yesterday! I'm not a lady, I'm still a girl!
-My eyes are to far apart!
Thats it for today! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I'm very flattered!

I had no idea that my simple chicken skewers would be such a hit. Here are the answer to the questions that were asked.
Jill: Yes there is shrimp on them, it was Princess' idea, but it was really really good! Also I found a lemon pepper marinade at Harmon's. It was really tasty!
Jamie: I did just broil them in my oven, I cooked them for about ten minutes then turned them over and cooked them for another ten.
We added jalapenos between some of the pieces of chicken for a little extra spice, sooooo good. After they were done cooking we added a little extra marinade, and fresh lemon juice. It really only took my about a half hour to put them together and let me cook, and they seriously so good!
P.S. They have also made great leftovers!

Bon Appetite!

You may call me Rachel Ray!
Sure enough, I made those!
Martha Stewart at work.
The finished product! YUMMY!

Me and a friend of mine (he asked that I don't name his name, we'll refer to him as Princess) decided that we would make a healthily dinner. So I made red homemade mashed potatoes and chicken skewers. I'm not going to lie I did a mighty fine job! It tasted so good and was a totally hit with Princess. (I'm sorry there are so many pictures of me, but Princess didn't want to photographed.) It was way fun making dinner and even more fun eating! The fun things I do in St. Geroge right?

My new purchase!

I have wanted a Camelbak for a while now. Today I decided to finally break down and get one. This next paycheck has my incentives included, and I did pretty good this month. I decided to celebrate and buy what I've been wanting for awhile now. It's back ordered so I'm not sure when I'll get it. Hopefully by August 16th, I'm going hiking with Jacob that day. So if anyone is looking to go hiking please invite me so I can utilize my new purchase!

I'm looking for a hiking buddy.

Last fall I went up and hiked through Zion's National Park. It was absolutely beautiful! I'm dying to get back up there, but I'm lacking a key element, a hiking buddy. I wanted to go up this weekend, but my Mother told me I couldn't go by myself. So now I'm looking for someone to go with me. Zion's is absolutely breathtaking and it's worth the money and the time to go there. This is the view from the top of Angles Landing, that is the hike I did. It was pretty hard, it's 2.5 miles up, all switch backs, and then 2.5 miles down really steep terrain. It doesn't need to be this weekend, but if anyone is interested in going please please let me know!!!! My only friend (Ben) told me he wouldn't go until it cooled off, princess can't handle the heat! So if anyone is looking for a hiking extravaganza I'm your go to girl!

What a weekend!

Consider this your official warning that this post has a LOT of pictures!!!! I had the best weekend ever at home! I got to spend literally every minute with my family, could anything be better!? I surprised my mom by coming home Wednesday night, she thought I was coming up Friday night, I don't know how excited she really was to see me. The next morning I went and hung out with two of my most favorite people Jamie and Annie. We went shopping and to lunch, I had so much fun being with her. It was some good bonding time! Friday I went and hung out with one of my other favorite people Amy and 7 little people, I had so much fun being out there with her. We just hung out, but it didn't matter, I love being with Amy! Saturday was Jenny's party, so much fun. (I did get to spend all morning with Heidi, so much fun!) I think everyone involved had a great time! Today was church and a LONG drive home. I had so much fun being home, thanks so much to everyone who makes my trips home the best!!!!! I miss you all already!

Me and Jamie at Gadzooks, I think we were there for almost an hour. This is my free Diet Coke that the cute girl at Mrs. Fields gave me! Love her!
Annie sick of her mom shopping, anyone who has ever gone shopping with Jamie understands!

How cute is this picture!?

The harsh reality!

Well I'm back in St. George after a long drive home. Coming home is always my least favorite thing. I always have so much at home, and coming back to St. George makes me ask myself everytime, "Why do I live down here?!" I'm just keeping my faith that there is a reason why, I just wish that I knew! I had so much fun being at home, and already miss you all like crazy! Thanks for making my trips up to SLC so much fun!

Better late then never.

Seeing is that I wasn't at work today I didn't get a chance to do my thoughts for the week. Better late then never, so here they are....
-I LOVE getting random texts!!!!!
-I hate when people "didn't get my texts" or "forgot to text back".
-I think a three day work weeks is good for me.
-I'm really never having kids.
-I've seen Batman twice, loved it both times.
-I got to see the wonderful Annie Salmon today, I miss her and am excited for her to get her bum back down to St. George.
-I was really "sick" today! Meaning I couldn't work. Shoot!
-Jamie and I were at Nordstroms and watched a shoplifter get spear tackled, talk about right place and the right time!
-Mike Neider discouraged me from ever wanting to get married.
-I got to hang out with Jamie all day yesterday, and Amy+7 all day today! Heidi your day is tomorrow, keep a stiff upper lip solider!
-I found a kid I went to high school with walking down the street the other day and invited him over for dinner and drove him home. Talk about random!!! (While in SLC)
-Jamba Juice is my absolute favorite treat to get while in SLC, my favorite treat in general is probably.... the watermelon sour patch kids! YUMMY!!!
-I officially bestow Amy with the "Queen of Blogging Comments" award! No one else even came close, sorry guys, better luck next year!
-I'm LOVING my new blog background!!!
Sorry this one isn't as funny as usually, it's late and I'm tired. I just couldn't stand to let me fans down!

Extreme Blog Makeover

OK, I redid my blog today, I'm totally sorry if your link got erased. Please let me know so I can re add you! (It's not that I hate you!)

I really am cute!

OK, I already know I'm going to get made fun of for this post, but I don't care! You know how when you look at pictures you find 500 that you hate and 2 that you actually kind of like. (even if you won't admit to it!) This is that picture for me! I have been thinking that I'm not very cute for the last week, but when I saw this picture I thought, Hey I can be cute! So go ahead make fun of me, I don't care, this was the self esteem boost that I needed!

I'm with Jill...

Last night I was looking at a lot of picture thinking that I really should lose weight! I don't want to be a "sweet spirit", or one of those girls who is only a face, and I don't want to get the guy who likes "bigger" girls! (Only meaning I don't want to fall into the group! Becuase I really don't want the shallow guy!) So last night I decided to do something about it, I Brooke Jensen am going to lose weight! I went running last night, and started eating a little bit more heathly today. I'm sick of being the fat sister, so that is it, I'm going to do something about it! Hopefuly I can stick with this attitude, becuase seriously I want to be the totally package, and I want to look really good in my swimsuit in Hawaii! I'M GOING TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!
