Day 12 Ohh How I Love Thee

Day 12 A picture of something you love.

I love lots of things. But here is just one.

Kassie Furniss.

She is ...

The wind beneath my wings...

And BOY OH BOY do I miss her...

The top ten reasons why I love Kassie

1. She would ALWAYS invite me to go with her to anywhere. You could always count on a Wednesday night invite to country dancing... and me always saying no. But then next week another invite.

2. Her amazing ability to no matter the situation take a picture.

3. She is always willing to help.

4. SMOOTHIES!!!

5. Best taste in clothes, and always willing to share.

6. If you don't know where is you might want to check her room, she might be doing the facebook lean...HAHA good times.

7. Sis

8. Dollar movie tradition

9. Makes you feel good about yourself even if you think you are the scum of all the earth.

10. Scaring her is probably the best thing on this earth. You should try it. When she comes out of the bathroom hide in the dark and jump out, so much fun!

11. She is always happy
12. Wise beyond her years.

13. cheese cake and grape salad.

oops i was suppose to stop after 10. well she is just so great I couldn't stop. I love you Kassie Furniss!

Plus and Minus = Surviving the Frozen Tundra

So for the surviving the frozen tundra side of things. I have learned a few things

1. The snow here is very fluffy and sticky

2. I have learned that if you are stuck just put some cat litter under the tires like magic you can get out from a parking spot that is covered with solid ice. (Thanks Mom) ohh and who knows how long the ice has been there because it is so stinking cold that it never melts.

3. Snow Plows are non-existent here. BOOOOO BOOOOO BOOOO not very happy about that.

4. While driving to work today I realized hey everyone has a truck... yeah so they can get out anything without a problem.

5. I happy just sitting in my house with five layers and a coat on for hours.

6. six blankets and a hoodie sweater is just enough to keep me warm at night.

7. Boots are not an option no matter how ugly you think boots are.



I'll end there.



So this last week it has snowed three times. The first one wasn't so bad because Mark my roommates boyfriend cleaned off our cars for us. How nice right. BUT it just started to get worst I had to clean my car off the next time and I don't have anything to do that with so I used what Heavenly Father gave me (my hand/arm, and a piece of paper). It really wasn't that bad. The most awful experience ended with me calling my mom and her telling me to put cat litter under my tires because i had been spinning my tires for 25 mins. Let me tell you burning tires is not a pleasant smell.



Not to end on a bad note so other things I have learned about the frozen tundra

1. My roommate is AWESOME!!!

2. I LOVE my job!!!

3. Having dinner at Amiee's house is so much fun and everyone should do it. You get real food which I don't really get to have very often. You play with two really cute kinds and you get to hang out with Amiee.

4. BYU-I is AWESOME!!! I can't wait to start. Can I just start now please?...

5. Even though I don't get to see Kass and Lor everyday. I get to call them (sorry if I call too much) ALL THE TIME! Love It!!!



SO all in all it equals out right?... HECK YES!!!!

Day 11 Dancing

Day 11- A picture of something you hate.

Something I hate. That would be dancing. I should clarify. I don't mind organized dancing. The type of dancing that is all the same like a waltz or routine. I really actually like that dancing, but the dancing that most people do i just don't get it. The as one friend put it "Jersey Shore" dancing I can't stand it. I just don't understand why anyone would go in front of a group of people and just start moving around like they are convulsing. Maybe because I feel like an idiot when trying to dance like that. Actually I kind of fell like more people would like an idiot too, so they stop dancing.

This would be me trying to dance "Jersey Shore" style. See it just doesn't work.

This isn't something that has just happened. I have always hated dancing. I fact most of the time when I would go to a dance or a club I would just make fun of people and how they dance. This will most likely be a life long hate. I'm sorry all you dancers out there.

Do you see the little blonde girl going "on man just get me out of here" yeah that's me.

Ohh and what the heck is up with when ever I go to a dance the creepers will always be the ones to ask me, and only the creepers. Maybe because I have this sign that I wear that says "Hey if you are a creeper ask me because I love to dance". Maybe someday someone will change my mind but as for now I'm sorry I would rather eat cow poop than go dancing.

Jamie has now stepped off her soap box. You may go on with your day now.

Day 10... Lor Bor

Day 10- A Picture of the person you do the most messed up things with

Well I like my rules and I stick by them kind of... so I don't really do messed up things. Man I sound lame. I do have LOTS of fun though. SOO who do i have the most fun with...

That would have to be LOR BOR!!!

From going to Disney Land to dancing around the apartment having sleep overs and who could forget crawling through the tunnels at my old bosses house. we had the most fun anyone could have. Yes she is probably the thing I miss about Provo the most.

Day 04 - A picture of your night.

WOW I have really been neglecting my blog... :( How did this happen well to make up for it I'm going to put all the days in one post and then stay on track. SO... Day 4 my night... Valentines Day... Single... In a city I don't really know anyone... SOO what do you do... Have chocolate and strawberries with your roommate and her boyfriend. YUMMM! That was my night. ohh and Sleeping Beauty.

Day 5 A picture of your favorite Memory

Ahh that's easy ...

My Baptism!!! I just remember being SO HAPPY that day. My face hurt so bad because I was smiling so much. June 12th 2003 changed everything. I am the way that I am because of that decision. Best day ever!!! Is it just me or do I look really little...

Day 6 A Picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

hmmm this one is not so easy... BUT I would have to go with Lily from How I Met Your Mother. Not the Actress that plays her, but Lily, and let me tell you why:

1. She was a red head that went brunette. Opposite of me just saying.

2.She is a master conniver. She plans, She strategies, She completes her mission.

3. She is married to a pretty great guy.

4. She is a teacher.

5. She is a great person.

Yeah Lily... I would be Lilly! and Barney is Awe...wait for it... some!

Day 7 A picture of your most treasured item

That would be my BED!! To describe my bed:

1. Not only one mattress pad but 2 baby yeah that right 2. One just normal egg crate, and one feather down awesomeness. You say soft ok if you can't say that then say squishy.

2. My cute little friends. Piggy I was sent her when I was on my mission. Sister teddy given to me by the same great friend before I left for my mission. Teddy given to me on my 18th birthday by some different friends. and lion given to my by my trainer when I wasn't a coward any more, so no more cowardly lion.

3. the layers... sheets favorite sheets. given to for Christmas from my sister Patty. She had them monogrammed and everything. (funny their you should ask her how to spell my middle name.) 1st blanket patch I have had him since I was 5. I got to pick him out my self. He has lots of holes, but the warmest blanket ever. The only time I did not sleep with him since I was 5 was a year and a half when I was serving the Lord. Hey sometimes you have to sacrifice. 2nd blanket Birthday present from mom that I picked out and paid for... well she paid me back. Thanks mom still love it. its just so cute. I see it more in the summer, which leads me to 3rd blanket. DOWN COMFORTER. on sale $15.00 wal-mart. Then the end blanket top from lor bor this years Christmas present. Next Bees blanket. Last but not least another Christmas present for a really good friend and it is monogrammed too. SO all in all 6 blankets 2 pillows 4 friends and most of the time 2 books and some sock here and there that fell off during the night. hehe

WOW that is A LOT about my bed, but I truly do love it. I could spend forever in it. AND the best part is it always comes with me. Just as Aunt Carol taught us you never leave home with out you pillow.

Day 8 A picture that makes you laugh

SUMO KASSIE!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!!! HAHAHA!!!

Day 9 A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

OK this would have to be people who have gotten my through the most because there is a lot of them...

Bonnie, Amiee, and Karianne. We have been through A LOT! I will ALWAYS be there for these girls no matter if I have to fly across the world I will be there.

Sabrina! She has dealt with A LOT my my crap, but she has always been there. A true friend who was there when I didn't have one. We have had a disagreements, but somehow she has dealt with my crazy view and ideas. She was probably the one who saw me at my worse... coming down from a mission high.

Christine is loyal even if you think she wouldn't be. We became really good friends when I didn't have any. She's been there from my baptism to me coming home from my mission. She has even worked for my parents. She has seen a lot of sides of me and I think my favorite one that she brings out is the me that is always laughing.

LOR BOR!!! Roommates by chance... wait no she picked us out of everyone she interviewed. She helped me make one of the toughest decisions... do I move to the frozen tundra? She will never cease to amaze me with her amazing dancing skills. Road trips to Cali and DISNEY LAND!! And just there when ever you need her.

KASS!! Another roommate who I would do anything for. And is always up for country dancing, dollar movies, and smoothies.

OK I'm not all done getting caught up but I'm almost there. Another post tomorrow. Until then stay warm and just remember me trying to survive the frozen tundra (by the way it was 53 degrees today HEAT WAVE!!)

Update..

It was really cold this week, but yesterday it started to warm up!!! Thank goodness!! Also I have some great news! I have officially been accepted to BYU- Idaho!!! I'm going to go to school! I'm so excited! I know that I'm suppose to be here, but this just confirms it. Now I'm stuck in the frozen tundra for 2 years. For the most part I'm all done un-packing. I started my new job. I've hung out with Amiee twice!! I've been to Institute. SO everything is going great! I do miss having more than one roommate. It gets kind of quite around here. Everything is going great... oh and I got 14 hours of sleep last night! What a life...

OOPPS I got a little behind ...





Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.





This is a hard one because I have been close with a lot of people, but who have I been close to the longest?

Karianne, Bonnie, and Amiee

It all started in elementary school. The year is up for debate. Karianne and Amiee were some of my greatest friends in my eyes, and then Karianne had to deiced she hated me. What was I to do... Well I found other friends but they just weren't as cool and Karianne and Amiee. Fast forward to my freshman year of High School I was going to be friends with them whether they liked it or not. It worked! Soon Bonnie moved to the blessed state of Washington. Still to this day we hang out and are great friends. They have given me the greatest gift. They have been there for some of the hardest times of my life. I have been in all of their weddings. Its been 8 years, and they are still my best friends! I LOVE THEM!!!
