Caught in the Copy Room.

Story time!!!

First vlog ever. Should I make more??

600th!!!

This is my 600th post.

I promised Kate I would write her a post, because now she is a grownup with a grownup job, and she is so bored sometimes that she needs to read something from me.

As if I were interesting. I forgot I had a blog for a while there. There just hasn't been much to say.

But I can try.

Since the last time I wrote....

I've had a couple of these:

Went to a few of these:

Went here three times:

Played with this toddler (she's the one with black hair):

Was in my cousin's wedding:

Hung out with these people:

Got my:

(Yes. One of the boys above. 

Dating is so weird and confusing. Why do people do it?)

How I felt right after it happened:

"Does he...know that you are a first-time slammer?"

--two idiot guy friends--

Got a second job, so I'm going back to:

Do you think I'll get asked to

Baby Got Rhythm!

Stats:

• Teeth
• Walks
• Jabbers
• Dances
• Hugs and kisses
• Likes it like that

RIP dearest Davy.

So this weekend was dot dot dot.

I wish I had one really great word to sum it all up, NOT the word "awesome." Because I'm pretty darn happy after not being pretty darn happy. And I feel like I can face the next couple weeks of work, no problem.

See, there were movies, and breakfast, and laughing, and terrible church lessons, and ice-skating, and grilled cheese sandwiches, and Narnia, and cold feet, and snackums.

But I can't think of one word because I haven't slept in two days.

So you can watch this, because clearly we didn't listen to it enough and laugh our heads off every time.

The Life Story -- Fred and Trudy: Part III (1/2)

Happy Sunday!

Here is a video of the happiest person we know:

PS. In case you didn't know, babies are very resilient. :)

Fresh Prince Friday

I bet you know aaaaaaaall the words to the theme song, if you're like me. :)

My favorite wasn't Will Smith though. No, it was Carlton. He slayed me. Which is why this post is dedicated to Alfonso Ribeiro (as well as his work pre-Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). Enjoy!! It's a lot of vids, but they're short and oh-so-hilarious!

Learn to Break and Pop with a young Alfonso Ribeiro!!

 It's Not Unusual

Before the Carlton Dance... There was the Pepsi Generation:

You gotta see Carlton on the Soul Train (embedding has been disabled, so click the link to watch it on YouTube)

For all you fellow Mormons:


And, oh who are we kidding? We gotta have some Will and Carlton action to finish it all up! Watch The Last Dance on YouTube.

Happy Friday, everyone!!

The Life Story -- Fred and Trudy: Part II (1/2)

We Like it Loud!

Remember how I love country dancing, but I don't listen to country music?

Well, I used to know this line dance six months ago, but I didn't get practice it much, plus I didn't know what to do without Clark to tell me.

And this weekend, for whatever reason, I really, really wanted to do it...but I didn't have a clue how to start.... and THEN, I remembered that Clark learned it on YouTube. Haha. And now, considering the way I learned it from him the first time, I now can do it better. Teehee.

You can learn it too, if you want. It's way dorky, but don't knock it until you try it. Line dances are good cardio workouts, plus they're fun!

(the song is "Loud" by Big & Rich)

Then you follow my 3-step video tutorial:

I told you I learned a lot at college.

This post is dedicated to Roomie Megs who is getting married today

Baby Lovin'

Just in case you thought the niecey was getting less cute:

(even my crappy cell phone camera doesn't detract from the cuteness!)

Class of 2011!! (and 2010 for me) aka I'm Very Mature Now.

Guys, I am back!!

It has just been kerrrrrazy and busy, but now I'm back from Indiana/New York where people asked me over and over again what I'm going to do now that I graduated.

Answer: I dunno.

So while I'm getting over a massive, disgusting cold, let's talk graduation day, because I didn't have a chance before. Before commencement on that fateful day of May 7, 2011, we all gathered out on the Quad and realized we were all wearing what Batman would wear if he were female, pregnant, and barefoot in the kitchen.

My Kate, Kiera, and Marisa friends:

My Andrew, Kate, and Erica friends.

I call him Tall Matt:

My Miranda friend.

Beloved Roomie Cort (FIVE YEARS together!):

Kayce friend.

Mitchell:

Mitchell was the FIRST English major I met.

Anna-Anna:

(Former) Roomie Abbie:

My mama texted me while I was waiting to march out with the rest of the 3000 graduates: "Do u have a stole or cord or anything?" Poor mom. I think she thought I was smarter than I am. I replied, "Haha nope. Just be glad I have a gown at all!"

Pretending to be engrossed in the speech,

while avoiding awkward conversation with the awkward man beside me:

Earlier that day, I hurt my ankle trying to photobomb Cortnie and it swelled up like a purple and green cream puff. And it hurt super much... but baby,

I danced my way up to my diploma. 

Walking at graduation was closure. I graduated in December but I finally celebrated it in style!! Seriously, my outfit was hawt.

My daddy:

My mommy:

Intellectual AND secksy:

Behold...

Chester the Graduated:

Demonstration: How to Sumo Wrestle...

This is what to do when everyone is done with finals (of course, you didn't have any cos you already graduated!), and you should be going to bed because you need to pack everything up and clean, but you don't...

Grab a couch pillow and go kerrrrrazy!

This is also extremely useful in determining what one would look like pregnant.

As you can see, I will be ADORABLE. Haha.

Happy Sumo Wrestling!

Happy Easter!

A beautiful Easter Sunday deserves a beautiful message. 

Perhaps in a beautiful song. 

I hope you'll watch this and enjoy.

He is Risen!

I truly believe that.

The Butterfly Circus...

It's a short film, only twenty minutes long, 

but when it's over, you'll wish there were more.

Just a little something special for this Sunday, 

to remind you that YOU are special.

Because during Birth Month, I can do whatever I want,
and what I want is to celebrate YOU too.

Spring Break: Part II -- "If I Were Jim Craig"

My Pill and Me:

I am not as fat as this makes me look. 

I'm wearing a baggy sweater under that baggy shirt. 

Just sayin'.

Isn't that sweet? She is proud of me for riding a "hor" for the first time!

HAHAHA!

And one especially for you, Groupies.

Just especially for you.

Stay tuned for

Spring Break: Part III

"Rock On"

Spring Break: Part I -- "Bust a Move"

You know. Cos it's been three weeks since it ended.

But, as I promised,

a video of me dancing on a rock:

If we had recorded three point five more seconds, you would've heard me bellow:

"Luke, I am your father!" and "Nooooooooo!"

in its entirety.

Too bad.

Stay tuned for

Spring Break: Part II
