Always double-check before you send a text message...

So there is this guy I have a really big crush on. (I’ll call him Ryan) He’s all wrong for me of course (a little bad boy type) but he is so cute! We hung out the first time we met and he asked for my phone number that night. Over the next week, we had some contact but I wanted to hang out with him again. One day I wrote my friend Heather a text message that said, “I want to hang out with Ryan bad! Man, what is my deal?” Only it didn’t say hang out, it said make-out : ] I sent the text message and ran inside the Marriott Center to pick something up at the ticket office. When I got back in my car, I had a text. It said it was from Ryan so I got really excited. My excitement was short-lived as I thought back to the previous text I sent and realized I may have made a mistake on the recipient. Indeed I had! I opened the text from Ryan to find out I sent the text message to him on accident instead of Heather! I sat in my car mortified lol. I couldn’t stop saying, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!” His response back asked if that was a good thing and said, “It is isn’t it?” I could not believe what just happened. I so did not want him to know that I wanted him lol. It sucked! I was so embarrassed. I spent the next few hours trying to decide if I would ever respond and what I would say if I did. We have hung out once since then and I’m sure he forgot about it. But it was not one of my finest moments. Moral of the story: Make sure you double-check who you are sending a text message too before you send it.

Heather-man

I was thinking about the post below and thinking I need to pay a tribute to Heather. She is like a sister to me. We have known eachother since we were 8 years old. We have been best friends since 14. Heather and I have been through everything together! She is part of our family and basically lived with us during her parents divorce and her mom leaving. Everytime we are together it's inside jokes, reminiscing, and being ourselves:

New Mexico, Chinese neighbors, "I'm cheating and she's winning", "You say you come outside for fresh air and you come outside to smoke, haha", microwave smores, Grease, lifeguarding, Humptulips, dating my cousin, Buddy Holly, "I didn't look, I didn't look", 'walks', 14 year old boyfriends, softball, San Diego, JR, the women song, 21-0, fourplay, Mr. Morgan...the list goes ON and ON

We went through a "seperation", if you will, through later years of high school but have always been able to get back together and be just like sisters. She knows me better than most people, I can tell her anything and she is always there for me! I know that we were meant to be friends to help get eachother through life. The past few months since she got home from her mission we have been closer than ever and I can't tell her enough how much I love and appreciate her! Heather thank you for always being like a sister to me

What would you do without friends...

Our first annual beach trip, we look so young.

Seattle with Sami and Jill
Me, Jill and Sami have been best friends since we were 16 years old. My senior year of high school, the three of us decided to go to the beach for spring break. Since then we have made it an annual trip. Either during spring break or during the summer the three of us get together for a fun trip. This year we went to Seattle for the weekend and had a blast! I love these girls. I don't know what I would do without them. The funny thing is we are all different but are still the best of friends. We've had the best times together and have always been there for one another. They've both been great friends and great examples to me. I'm so grateful for them.

Regarding the post below...

I was just informed by my little brother that he thinks it is creepy. I have to disagree for a few reasons: 1. I don't really love him. I just have a huge, huge crush on him. 2. Seriously if you see him you would know exactly what I mean. 3. I just don't care...

"I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it..."

I love my little brothers best friend!! I kept it a secret for awhile but I don't care anymore. He is so hot! They've been best friends for over four years. He's like part of the family and even goes on vacations with us. I love him. He might only be 18 but he definitely does not look like it! He's 6'4", dark hair, broad shoulders and ripped body. He has a gorgeous smile. He's so so funny. He's also really good at basketball and I'm a sucker for the athletic guy. Everyone in my family knows it, I'm sure he does to with the shameless way I am around him lol. I just can't help it. I love him!

I love Hawaii

Hawaii was amazing! I spent the week laying on the beach, watching super cute guys play soccer and shopping! I got a great tan too! It was the life. I didn't get together with the soccer coach but maybe next time ; ) I want to make Waikiki an annual summer vacation - it was awesome!

Hawaii!

I'm going to Hawaii on Sunday and I can't wait!!
My brother's U-19 club soccer team won the state championship and Regionals are in Hawaii this year. I'm so excited to spend the whole week watching soccer, laying on the beach, and sitting by the pool!! (I also have a secret crush on his soccer coach so it's going to be so fun : )

Sports are life

So last night I hung out with this guy. I met him through my aunt and uncles and right away I knew he wasn’t my type, but I still gave him a try. He drove down from Layton, we went to dinner, to a birthday party, and then watched a movie. After my roommate came home, we all sat around talking. Now throughout the “date” I totally wasn’t into him. He is too feminine, likes to talk about himself, weird sense of humor, is not an athlete and doesn’t even watch sports! For me, there are two things I look for right away in a guy, first he has to be LDS, and second he has to be an athlete! He is striking out on number two. So we’re talking with my roommate and for some reason he goes off about how sports are pointless. He thinks the NBA players get paid way too much and our schools are suffering because the money should go there. He’s bashing that the same thing is played on Sports Center multiple times a day and he thinks professional sports are just a money hungry business. I’m just looking at him thinking, “What is the matter with you?” He’s sitting here trashing on something I happen to love; sports are my life! That is so rude and annoying to be saying those things to me. I understand he has his opinion and that is totally fine. But don’t bash on something someone else loves! Are you an idiot? Needless to say we’re not hanging out anymore.
If you’re not an athlete, you just don’t understand. Athletes, true athletes, are a different breed of people. They tend to be more laid back, cooler, better social skills, more aware in social situations, more normal sense of humor. I can’t stand when someone says they “play sports” because they played basketball once in your driveway. You have to be on an organized team and be good to be a true athlete!! Otherwise, you just don’t understand.

Oh life!

Life is so funny. Somedays I feel like I'm so lucky and I'm ok being single then other days I don't know why I can't meet anyone. I just want someone who is laid back, nice, athletic, funny, cute, ambitious and unselfish. I keep thinking one of these times I go out, there will be someone I actually like who likes me back. But there's always no one. I have fun and make a good time of it but I just want to meet someone.

My mom is amazing!

Can I just say how amazing my mom is! About 3 years ago I developed IBS, which has completely affected my life. I have struggled with it this whole time because there is not one thing that causes it or that helps it. It's an illness that doesn't have a cure basically, I just have to try and manage it. But thats even more difficult because there are not specific things that help or cause an IBS reaction and things that help one person don't help another, it's all individual; it's like a guessing game and I have to take life hour by hour and hope I feel well enough to function. Anyway my mom is amazing! I have been really sick this past week so she did more research and looked online to find another specialist in Utah that might be able to help me. She knows how much time and effort we have spent over the past 3 years researching and learning about IBS, how to help it, what hurts it, what tests can be done, what medication and teas help etc. After so many years doing this I get frustrated even looking things up anymore. So she spent her time looking up information and then assembled a "cheat sheet" as she calls it of all the information she found! She is amazing! I love my mom! I don't know what I would do without her! She means everything to me and I had to express how grateful I am for her! This may seem like a little thing but it means so much to me. It shows so much unselfishness and the kind of person she is to do something like this for someone else. She is always thinking about us, her kids, more than herself. She truly would do anything for us and this to me shows that! I'm so grateful for my mom!

What to say...?

So I decided I would start a blog. I'm not sure if anyone cares to read these things however. It has always seemed strange to me that people have a web page devoted to themselves, but I guess I'll join in.
I don't really know what to talk about though. Today I spent most of my time finishing this dumb take home midterm that I decided I didn't care about anymore. There is only so much you can do before you just have to turn it in. I'm not really caring about most of my classes right now actually. I don't know why. I physically cannot get myself to care about school right now. I'm doing fine grade wise in my classes but I don't work as hard as I could be.
I'm watching American Idol right now which I used to like a lot but this season seems super cheesy to me. Maybe it's just because they're still in the top 24 but for some reason it's boring me. Plus it's the night when someone gets kicked off and all the other contestants are crying, like they are really sad someone is leaving. I'm sure they're only crying out of joy that it's not them getting kicked off.
Well this is it for my first blog. It's kind of exciting actually even if no one ever reads it. To be honest it would probably be better if no one reads it so I can say whatever I want.
