Party of the year

so last night my roommates and I threw a party for Christina's Bday party. She wanted something awesome and big to help start of being 21, so my apartment started planning. We then found that it was a couple other peoples birthday the same week as hers so we made it a tri-bday party.

We created this event of Fbook and a few people said they were comin and then as more and more people said they were comin we got really excited. 85 pl baby!
So we reserved the Nauvoo lounge and got an awesome DJ, Taylor Klein, and then did some decorating up stairs, got some sodas and some candies and then cleared out downstairs for the dance party.

No on shows up on time of course, but even when it was just all my roommates and like 10 other people the dance party was awesome. Great lighting and music etc....then the people started comin!

First off, we didn't even recognize half the people that showed up. People were coming because they heard there was a party or because they heard the music from a long way away and wanted to come! It was excellent. So many attractive men in one place! How did we get all of these men in one place?! It was quite the attractive party for both guys and girls.

At one point you could barely move upstairs there were so many people!

People were coming and going the whole night, but at one time there was probably at least 150 people there and probably a total of 300 coming in and out the whole night.

Lets just say IT WAS A SUCCESS. I got to meet so many new people and it was just marvelous. Christina looked hot. She's freaking awesome and I love her! So glad we were able to throw that awesome party together and bask in the success of it.

ps. MY MOM IS COMING IN 3 HOURS. I CANNOT WAIT. I love my mom. happy saturday.

True Joy

Talked about finding true joy and happiness today in church. Loved it.
It put me in this amazing mood, I just loved it.
It got me thinking about how all my happiest times are when my family is all together and just how grateful I am for how amazing they are!!

It also made me so happy about the gospel and how I am so glad its in my life because that is really how I find joy in everything. There is so much hope in the world and its just been a joyful day.

A few excitements

1. My oldest sister Annalise just had her first baby!! I now have a new nephew. His name is John Edward Sandberg. Isn't that just a lovely name? and from the pictures I see, he's pretty dang cute. Can't wait to hold him!

2. In exactly 2 months from today I will be doing this again. I don't think word can express how freaking excited I am....

3. Its CHRISTINAS birthday today :) She's 21 my friends. All grown up, I love her! So glad we're able to live together this semester.

get to run 6 miles tomorrow morning, I've been away from running for a while because of a really bad cold. Can't wait to be back on track!

night

sometimes

I just can't sleep at night,
and sometimes, I really can't sleep at night.
Well last night was definitely one of those nights.
Went to bed at 11:30, it took me longer than the usual 5-10 minutes to fall asleep

woke up at 1:50, thinking, wow, Its really hot in here and wow my hand hurts really bad (calluses ripped off from kipping pull-ups). I was definitely not going back to sleep. Pushed open the window and laid in my bed on my laptop just doing the randoms for an hour. Then I'm like, k, lets have a go at this whole sleep thing again. I lay there for another hour trying to get confortable. I was tossing and turning so much. So when 4 rolled around and I was definitely not going back to sleep, I decided to be productive. So I did homework!
I got all my homework done for Family Foundations and did some biostatistics. It is now 6 in the morning, I've been doing hw for 2 hours and I've been up for 4. I'm still wide awake..

I guess its time to move on to anat and phys hw!

Something tells me that 2 hours of sleep will not be enough and that a major crash sesh this afternoon will be a necessity. As for right now, I'm feelin great!

a sunfilled day

yesterday was the first good day seattle has given us since we've been home. so we spent the day adventuring and enjoying the sun <3

PS. those trails up there are the trails I run all the time :) now can you see why I love them so much? they're 2 minutes from my house and its like I'm in the mountains! This is the first time I've hiked them, so I was finally able to take photos!

Home

Watching one of my favorite shows with my mom right now, I Shouldn't Be Alive.
Went sailing the other day in the Puget Sound. it was perfect
Cadbury eggs are my favorite, I had the opportunity to consume 8 of them yesterday

Ran in the trails this morning down to the lake. Most relaxing and amazing run of my life. Found a trail that ran on the waterfront for a mile. Trees, ferns, mud, and the smell of fresh flowers. perfect

Purchased my first pair of colored pants. they are mint my friends. They're from H&M and I love them.

Visited my old work yesterday and was able to catch up with Kasey and Amanda over chinese food. Oh how I miss all our work conversations.

There has been lots of shopping. I got some neon orange nike shorts, neon pink nail polish, blouses of course, and my favorite purchases, this J Crew bathing suite!

I ordered it online and I really hope it fits! I had to get a size up because of my ridiculously long torso. Some of their other bathing suites had a "long torso" option that makes it several inches longer. This one didn't have that option, sooooo I went with the size up. It was just worth it because I loved it so much!

Also, my hair? Yes I like it and its fun. But that one photo makes it look so much better and a good blonde color. But in real life its a lot more yellow and brassy. I'm going to get it fixed soon. 2 weeks of plasma and then off to the salon to get it not so brassy. I can't wait for that. I will be so much more confident! Not that I don't like it, its just I loved my hair before and now I'm not very confident. 

last day

Goin home baby!!! I finished with finals on wednesday and have seriously been bummin it. Stef left last night and I don't know when I'll see her again! She's such a fast runner that she's leaving us mere mortals to go run cross country for BYU hawaii!!! Thats right, she's a beast.  She found out about a week ago, its been her dream forever so she's pumped. I'm just so sad that I wont be living with her in the fall. There were some tears last night and I already miss her. She is awesome.

Also, last night/this morning it snowed. like whaaaaa.

christina and I loaded all our crap down flights of stairs, into the back of my track, then back up flights of stairs into our new apt. in a blizzard. Everything was snowfilled and it was FREEZING.

kinda funny seeing as it was 60 earlier this week and supposed to be 70 on monday....

time to drive home now. see ya
