i owe ice cream

There is a tradition in my family. The origins are unknown to me. For some of my siblings it would have been quite easy to keep up with and only came about a couple of times. For others of my siblings it is much more frequent and possibly impossible. Well the time has come again for me to owe ice cream. This much anticipated moment was made even sweeter because it took so dang long, but the day finally came, and its time for me to pay up! So here you go, virtual ice cream via blog. If you want the real stuff you will just have to come and get me!

summer thus far

I love zumba! I drag my butt out of bed almost every morning at nine so I can go to zumba class at my gym. It is so much fun even though I look like a seriously white retard ballerina trying to do hip hop. And yes, I wear yellow stretchy pants with a jean inlay like the girl in the picture and make the awesome face the guy is making.

Me and Debora Dawn at my performance in Zion. Somehow they roped me into performing again. I am really going to have to practice saying no, especially with another Nutcracker coming up! It was actually really fun to perform outside in the beautiful canyon and Debora took me and Lachelle to a delicious dinner! As long as I get food out of it I am totally cool. And I got to dance with my teacher Amber and my old ballet teacher Angie so that was fun to be one of the big girls!

During finals week my little study group and I decided that our brains couldn't possibly take any more input so we took a break to celebrate our awesome grades! Me Becca and Allie went to a roadrunners game and it was so much fun! And yes, we might have broken out the flashcards while we were there, but I'm sure no one even noticed that we were talking about vaginas and feces!

Me and Kristi did some out of school baking. I don't actually remember this, but I'm pretty sure it happened since I have photo evidence.

Last night I broke out the 98 degrees christmas CD. PURE JOY! Haha I can't even tell you how much I love that CD and the extreme happiness it brings me. Best CD ever!

I live in the freakin Enchanted Forest! My good friend Chippie, who I named chippie because I thought he was a chipmunk but is actually a squirrel, lives at my house! Every time I come home I see his bushy little tail running away from me, and then he'll freeze like I can't see him if he is standing still. Haha I love chippie!

I know I know I haven't blogged in forever. But like I kept telling my sister when she was trying to get me to read a fun book... I don't have time for recreational reading. And I will extend that to this, I didn't have time for recreational blogging of my funnies, I'm so serious and focused on stupid summer school that nothing funny happened! But that is over now thank goodness and I got a hundred percent plus a bonus on my lab final so I think that is a success. It's time for me to step back in the blog world!

Cute Glasses and Golf over Football

I have a dilemma. A very dramatic manly dilemma. And I am just so not a drama person! I hate it and I think its stupid. So... I have been hanging out with this boy that I kind of dated in high school and even though I'm not really interested in him and I'm pretty sure he's not interested in me, I was just hanging out cause I need friends! Anyway so while hanging out with this boy, one of his best friends, that is way funnier, cuter, funnier, more personalityish, and funnier than him, started texting me and what not. And of course I'm going to be more interested in the funny, cute one over the the one that prefers golf to football and tries to serenade me with his not so sweet music. So when golf over football finds out that cute glasses boy has been talking to me he just gets his panties in a bunch and starts acting so weird! All of the sudden he is this gentleman and opens my doors and offers me shotgun and actually acts like he likes me even though he really doesn't he's just mad that cute glasses boy is interested! So pretty much I am ruining these boys's friendship and just causing so much drama, and I am so not that girl! BUT, luckily golfer is moving to Provo in the next couple days, which means that cute glasses can be done "laying off" as instructed by his friend, and hopefully take me on a real, no dirty little secret, date! A girl can dream right!!

Is reality REAL or is it something your brain creates?

I held someone's brain in my hands today. Their entire reality. All of their thoughts, memories, actions, dreams, plans, and so much more. In my hands. I can name all of the parts. Seriously quiz me, I am not kidding around with my anatomy studying! But it just blows my mind! I am sitting here blogging on my computer...my brain is facilitating my writing and comprehension and finger movements and my vision, and color recognition, and object recognition, and my background thoughts of beautiful men, and the background song in my head that never really goes away. Holy Cammoley! It is just beyond my comprehension how all of this works! We are smart, loving, able people because of this grey matter in our heads...it just freaks me right out! Maybe I should become a student of the philosophy of life cause there is some seriously deep thought going on in my brain right now. Weird. But I like it.

Back to the Ence's

My sophomore year of high school i dated the most gorgeous wake boarding boy that lived out in the middle of nowhere in the biggest most fun house ever. I have wonderful memories full of pool parties and sand volleyball. Well I went back to that beautiful oasis yesterday. But things were very different. I was in a one piece swimming suit. Carson is on his mission somewhere foreign and crazy that I don't remember. I actually talked to a bunch or random people that I knew from high school (which isn't different from then, but it doesn't happen very often now). And I went with Narnia. Now the fact that he has a girlfriend and they are back together after taking a break, which was when me and him hung out a couple times, is new information to me. But regardless it was really fun to be social! People are actually nice when you are crammed in a hot tub together, even the ones you thought didn't like you in high school. Wearing a one piece in public is not embarrassing I actually got a couple compliments. And I think I might actually hang out with the most adorable kid that I had a huge crush on in eighth grade. All in all it turned out great and I officially have at least one friend. What could be better than that? I am such a little college co-ed. At least thats what my old young womens leader said when she saw me at the grocery store..."you just look like such a cute little co-ed!"

Jeepers Creepers!

I went on the creepiest date of my life. I really just don't want to go into it. But here is a little advice for all of those fellow daters in the world- even though the only people that read my blog are married family members.
1. Don't stare creepily at other people's bare sunburned legs. Its just weird.
2. If you notice that the other person is talking, asking questions, and then talking again, maybe throw in some dialog of your own. Thats why they call it a two way conversation.
3. If you happen to bring up the other persons ex boyfriend, even though she broke up with him cause she honestly just wasnt that interested, there is no need to remind her of how funny looking he is. And DONT under any circumstances ask if he is a good kisser. A. that is just weird- if you want to know so bad, try him out for yourself. B. if you just want to talk trash on him- well that is just unnecessary.
4. And this is really the most important one. DONT TELL THE WEIRD CREEPY STORY OF HOW YOU GOT EXCOMMUNICATED ON YOUR MISSION! I do not want to hear it! It makes me feel very uncomfortable to know that you got mad at heavenly father to give you kidney stones.
5. After all of this terribleness, don't ask to go for a walk around the block. The ride home was torture enough, there is absolutely no need to prolong it further.
6.AND after all of that....don't text me after and act surprised that I didn't text you back.

The creepy love note and yellow car should have been red flags enough for me to run in the opposite direction.

YES!!!

I feel how Brooks's face looks

I am done with finals! I am officially a sophomore in college and have no more studying or schooling to do for a whole month!

Narnia and I got hot chocolate and talked for like an hour. Magical. He made fun of me for telling him I was "almost 19," I gave him crap for being naturally athletic, it was a good time.

My whole crazy wonderful family was in the same place at the same time. I love them. A whole lot. My little nephews are the most adorable things in the world!

Cael finally remembered my name and didn't call me Krissica by the end of the trip.

I saw the winner of the Ironman as he transitioned from bike to marathon..crazy!

I got my bangs cut and now look like the pretty lady from Army Wives that used to be on Jag.

Its a GOOD day!
