Hello there ladies...

My dearest ladies of the WOFYB Academy,

After watching our apartment video's at Face and Steve's Farewell party, it made me want to make another one. I thought it would be cool if everyone would email me a 1-2 page synopsis of what you have been up to since we moved out of Connection Down. I would also like you to include photos that go along with the various activities and things you have been doing. (the more photos the better) I think it would be great to add to our apartment video's. If you could get those to me as soon as possible I will make it and send them off to you. I love you all!!!

Funny

Just some random thoughts. On the kids last vocab test, 3 girls in one class cheated. Ironically, one of the vocab words was "conscience."
Also, in her final essay, this girl is arguing why they should be allowed to chew gum. She says, "There are many reasons chewing gum is good, the main reason is that studies show that gum helps you relive stress." I think she means relieve.

My Uterus

Just wanted to let you all know that according to babycenter.com, the top of my uterus has risen above my belly button and is now about the size of a soccer ball. Just thought you'd all want to know about my uterus.

...I'm back

It's official now because I'm finally posting on the blog! I'm sorry that it's took me so long, and I have no good excuse, just laziness. Or maybe I was waiting for the perfect excuse to write (like procrastinating studying for my mid-terms like I'm doing right now).

So I've been home almost three months now. Everyone at home kept telling me I was exactly the same as when I left. Which is either an insult (wow, you didn't mature spiritually at all), a compliment (you always were so wonderful anyway), or just a comment on how I haven't really changed physically since age 14. You choose.

So on to the big question..."How was your mission?" Everybody hates this question and I understand why now. Who on earth is going to say anything other than "good!" unless you're really arrogant or you came home early for having too many boyfriends (though I suppose you could also use the word "good" to describe that too). Anyway my mission was...GOOD! No really I love Fresno, I didn't die in the extreme heat or suffer too much embarassment from riding a bike in a skirt, and I met some wonderful, amazing, awesome people! (Did I mention the really wonderful, amazing, awesome people? I did. Good. Cause they were amazing.)

Since coming home, I stayed with my parents for two months where I miraculous had three jobs (all tiny ones). I was a nanny, a spanish tutor, and even taught some voice lessons. Calling wise I totally lucked out, I was a substitute seminary teacher! so I got to go to seminary everyday and brush up on my scripture mastery. And I got to take short trips to see my sister in LA and my brother in San Antonio (I remebered the Alamo! and mostly remembered how Miss Congeniality was filmed right there). So all in all I managed to stay pretty busy but am glad to be back in Provo, where I can really stay busy.

So I'm living in Miller Apartments (behind the Provo library), I live with some pretty cool girls (don't worry they'll never be my true roommates), I have crushes on at least two boys right now, and am managing to be fairly social. Oh yeah, and I'm taking two classes. Good life.

love you all,
no longer Hermana, but still your Sister Thighs forever

A Kicker

So I've been feeling the little guy inside me moving around lately. It's fun, but Jared has been feeling left out. When the baby's really active, Jared tries to feel him, but can't . . . until last night. Last night Jared felt him twice! Two really big kicks/punches and Jared felt them both. He was so excited that he felt his son move! Jared says he's practicing for soccer, I say he's doing kung fu. So maybe he'll be the future star of Shaolin Soccer II!
