Happy Birthday Sade!

Today is Sade's 19th birthday! She is the last of the birthday buddies in February, which is good because all of our brains are on overload trying to think of fun things to do. Here are the 19 things that make Sade the best!
1. Her dance moves. :)
2. Her love for bread. . . It's her main source of nutrition.
3. How she takes school way too seriously. . . Sade, you really need to stop studying all the time!
4. Her garlic zucchini.
5. Her amazingly sexy haircut!
6. Her style.
7. The fact that no matter what she wears she always looks freaking hot.
8. Her love for crepes.
9. Her countdown till Brandon comes home. (which she informs us everyday of how much longer she has.) :)
10. Her countdown till the end of this semester.
11. All of her other countdowns. . . there are too many to name individually.
12. Her itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny. . . FEET! (seriously, she can fit into little kids shoes. Once she even bought Ironman shoes that would have fit a 6 year old boy. They were pretty cool though.)
13. Her "special" book. (Sade, you know what I'm talking about!)
14. The scar on her face, and the braces on her teeth. . . ha ha. I love you Sade.
15. Her inappropriate comments.
16. Her flower arranging skills.
17. Her fantabulous painting skills.
18. The fact that she only wears jeans three times a month. :)
19. Her funny comments about Seventy. . .
Thanks for always making me laugh. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sade! I love you. :)

Sian and Riss's birthday poems!

Emily, Sade, and I decided that we wanted to write Sian and Riss birthday poems. We gave them to them when we celebrated theirs birthday's last Friday. . . Here they are- they probably won't be very funny to those who don't know the inside jokes, but enjoy anyway.

SIAN

Guess what? One day we met this girl when she stormed into our place,

You held up Seventeen magazine and said, "who the 'h' ripped Miley's face?"

There was no doubt we were slightly disturbed and a little scared,

We nicknamed you Sheniqua; whether we were friends or not none of us cared.

You used to be too cool to hang out with us because of some dumb red-head,

But now we can't seem to keep you out of our apartment and out of Nicole's bed.

Nicknames were created; we are now known as Seventy, Kij, Flin, Leona, Rascal, and Ace,

I guess it's better than the Huss, Broad, and Quazie that reside at your place.

Your infamous "YEAH!" and "Beyonce" voice can be heard from miles away,

Although your waltzing and pole dancing skills are a little risque.

You put hot sauce on everything and you love red meat,

But you can't handle Nicole's long fingernails and "disgusting" feet.

Remember the Titans is your all time favorite show,

Although in pretty much every movie the waterworks start to flow.

One time we woke up to you sleeping in our apartment because you stole a key,

You and Riss tried to pawn the blame off on Richard and Seventy.

One night you discovered that Emily had never been kissed,

So you pulled out the "manulator" and made a qualifications list.

When we met Jared and Dusty I'm sure they thought we were all a little whacked,

But soon you and Dusty will be married with 12 1/2 kids. . . According to MASH it's a fact.

We were meant to be neighbors and best friends it's clear,

We'll have a great time living by each other next year.

So tonight let's get wasted, you bring the beer,

We hope you have a fantastic birthday year!

*IMPORTANT*

I do not have disgusting feet. I promise. Sian just doesn't like feet, so she thinks that everyone's are disgusting. Also, we do not- nor did we get wasted- it's just a joke. :)

RISS

Hey Huss! We just wanted to wish you well on your birthday,

We're so glad you're finally nineteen. . . yay!

Although your Lindsey Lohan skills are the bomb,

Your Usher impersonation could be posted and seen at YouTube.com.

The next best thing is how you have so much class,

This is evident when you run into a certain red-headed A#$!

You love to tuck in your birthday buddy and tell her a story,

But you make sure they're never too scary or gory.

You don't even mind when we stalk you on dates,

Because we all know that Sian is your true soul mate.

The second love of your life resides in the White House and his name is Obama,

He's pretty awesome but isn't as LBA as your momma!

When we all get together for Sunday dinner,

We say two prayers but your Catholic/Methodist prayer is the winner.

One Sunday night we had some great plans,

But after Scott Fescher was introduced to 'Melody' he wasn't our No. 1 fan.

Your cooking and running skills are simply the best,

And Dr. Evans makes you stick to your love goal, even if you think she is a pest.

So when you land 'Mr. Blue Eyes,' the all-time perfect man,

When he wants to make out with you, you can finally say, "Yes we can!"

It's your last year as a teenager, so make it great,

We're so happy to be living by you next year, we know it's fate!

Love,

The Girls of Apartment 28

Overall, Em, Sade, and I were pretty darn proud of ourselves. :)

No hair pics yet. . .

I have tried about 7 times to upload the pictures of my hair cut, and everytime something happens so it won't work. It is driving me crazy! Hopefully tomorrow when I have more patience, the internet will work faster and it won't keep freezing so I can upload the pics.
Sade's hair is absolutely adorable! When I decide to cut my hair short, I will be cutting it in an A-line like hers. . . SO adorable! Anyway, until my computer decides to upload pictures, you'll just have to imagine it looking kind of like Carrie Underwood's- but longer. Layers but more piecey (is that a word?) and brown instead of blonde. So pretty much the only way it looks like hers is that I have the same style of bangs. :)

Hair Cut

So...Sade and I decided that we wanted to get our hair cut. My hair has been driving me crazy. I only do two things with it. Straighten it or put it in a pony tail. Boring! So, I was looking on the internet for pictures of how I want to cut it, and this is what I found:

Granted, I do not look a thing like Carrie Underwood- she is freaking gorgeous, and her hair is amazing, but I can always hope right? I don't know if I am going to cut it quite as short as hers is. I'm thinking I'll only cut off between 4-6 inches. We are going to a salon here in Logan so I don't know the girl who is going to be cutting my hair. Caitlin went to her a couple weeks ago and said she did a really good job. I'm a tad bit nervous that this could turn out disastrous. I'm not going to lie, I probably will cry if she cuts off too much. I've been growing it out forever! I've not cut it (only trims) since my freshman year of high school. It now reaches my waist . . . definitely time for a change. I'm thinking that adding lots of layers will make it easier to curl and style. Although since I do not have the patience, I'm most likely just going to be doing it straight and in a pony tail for the rest of my life. . . oh well.

p.s. there will be before and after pictures posted sometime tomorrow or next week! Everyone say a prayer it will turn out well. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIAN!

February is birthday month for apartments 27 and 28 (if you couldn't tell that already.) Today is Sian's 20th birthday. She was so excited for her birthday that while I was asleep at approximately 12:30 this morning she came into our room and jumped on my bed. She wanted me to wake up and tell her happy birthday!

GO JAZZ!

So, Emily's surprise birthday present was going to the Jazz vs. Lakers game. Caitlin's dad got us (Kij, Me, Em, Caitlin, Sian and Hayden) tickets somehow and also VIP passes to go eat dinner downstairs before the game and also during half time. We left Logan around 4:45 and shortly after Sian, Kij, and I fell asleep.

We met Haydo down there and went to go eat downstairs before the game. There was such good food there! We had roast, potatoes, corn, carrots, pasta salad, green salad, rolls, watermelon, grapes, carrot cake, and chocolate cake. It was all delicous!My favorite cuz and I at dinner!Sian's pretty face eating her food. (The catering guy really appreciated the look on her face as well!) ;)

After dinner we ran up to our seats to watch the game. Sian sat on one side of me and Haydo was two seats away. They are both Lakers fans so we had a lot of fun harassing one another. The guy behind us told Sian and I that we were more entertaining to watch than the game! There were two best moments of the game. . . Okay, maybe three or four. The first was when Kobe got a technical. The second was Okur hitting the freakin' awesome three with about a minute left. Third, was when the Lakers missed their two three point attempts. And, the fourth was the final score! My other favorite part was the fact that Kobe missed some key shots in the fourth quarter as did Fisher. As for the Jazz, Williams had 31 points and 11 assists, and Okur had 22 points, including the amazing three pointer. The looks on the Hayden and Sian's faces were pricless as Kobe and Fisher both missed three pointers late in the fourth quarter and they realized the Jazz were going to win. I loved it! :)

Happy faces!

FINAL SCORE!!

There were tons of Laker's fans around us (besides Sian and Hayden) and it was hysterical! One guy started yelling at the Jazz fans saying the "f -word" and something about a snowball. We aren't exaclty sure what it was because he was too drunk to be making sense. As we were walking down the stairs to go outside Sian was saying how the Jazz "still weren't going to make the playoffs and blah blah blah." A Jazz fan heard her and said how she didn't know what she was talking about and they were going to make it kept going on and on. Sian started laughing at him, which made him even more mad. I thought for sure she was going to get in a fight with someone.

Kij and I's happy faces and Sians sad face.

After the game we went to Caitlin's house where her mom had birthday cake for Emily, so we ate that and visited for a while. Our car ride home consisted of us singing Taylor Swift at the top of our lungs and rolling down the windows cause Caitlin was trying to cook us all. (In Kij's words, "it feels like we are in hell.") All in all it was a very eventful day and we had a ton of fun!

Also, Hayden got his mission call! He is leaving on my birthday, April 29th, and is going to the Resistencia, Argentina Mission. I am so proud of him for going on a mission and will miss him terribly. As I was talking to him today he reminded me that he would be home before Brooke and Paige graduate from high school- and if I look at it that way, two years doesn't seem too long. It's weird to think that I will be 21 when he gets home though. Crazy! I'm glad he got to go to the Jazz game with us cause I won't be able to spend too much time with him before he leaves. :( I love ya cuz!

Happy Birthday to EMILY! (tomorrow)

Tomorrow is Emily's 19th birthday! Emily is pretty much one of the nicest people that has ever walked this earth. She would do anything for anyone. I appreciate how she puts up with my messiness. When you walk in our room there's her side which includes her bed being perfectly made EVERY morning, and no clothes on the ground. Then, there is my side, the bed is NEVER made (and if it is made everyone asks me what is wrong!) there all clothes all over the floor by the bottom of my bed. She tolerates my messes better than anyone. She is the glue that holds our apartment together. She is the caring one, has the most patience, and cleans all the time. . . And we all love her for it, and appreciate it tons!

Tonight Em, Kij, Candace, Sarah, Sara, Laurel, Caitlin, and I went to Iggy's for dinner. It was my first time going there and it was really good! Emily and I are going to go again when there is a Jazz game on and we can watch it on the T.V.'s there. I can't wait.

Em, Me, Kij, Rascal ;)

Sarah, Me, Candace

Tomorrow is going to be the BIG SURPRISE for her. (I can't say what it is yet, cause there is a chance she might read this tonight) But there will be pictures to show what the surprise is sometime later this week. . . Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM!

Em and I

Sunday In Kamas

Saturday night as I was hanging out with the one and only, amazing Sian Smith, Brooke texted me saying that Suzie was going to be coming to Kamas the next day. I decided that since I don't get to see her very often, and the fact that she is pretty much the most amazing person ever, that I should make a quick trip to Kamas. I arrived Sunday around 11:30. I got to meet Suzie's grandkids Isaiah, Kaitlin, and Nathan- all of whom are ADORABLE! I also got to meet her two daughters Steffaine and Jessica. They are gorgeous! We took them tubing behind the snowmobile in grandpa's field, and they loved it. Kaitlin was scared of the tubes, sleds, and the snowmobile, so I just held her while we watched her mom on the tube. She loved the fact that the cows said "Moo." She thought it was so neat. Isaiah became buddies with Zack and Taigen, and played all day. They had to leave to Salt Lake to go see an aunt, so I got only to see them for about 4 hours, but it was worth it!
I also got to eat really good food while I was home. My mom (the amazing cook that she is) make mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, rolls, and veggies. Alisha made brownies and apple crisp for dessert. It was all so good- especially after the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I had been eating for the past week! :)
