BYU 14, Oklahoma 13

So I think it took until this weekend to really feel that I wasn't in Utah. At BYU. Last night (night, my time....afternoon BYU time) was the first football game of the season. We don't have cable, so that made it REALLY difficult to watch the game. Fortunately, by the time the middle of the 3rd quarter rolled around, I found on ESPN's website a place where you can watch the plays. Live. So you get the score and the plays, but nothing else. No band, no crowd, not even the commercials. No players, no insane BYU fans painted blue, and no coaches. Just the plays. But I took it, seeing as it was all I could get. I was texting Brianne the entire time I was watching, and I was going CRAZY. I was on the edge of my seat....and when we got a touchdown, I still jumped up and down and screamed. It was almost like I was there...oh wait, no it wasn't. I went crazy when we won! What a game. What a stressful, intense, game. And here I am, in little Nashua NH.

So yup. I realized last night just how much I miss BYU. I LOVE that place. I love BYU football too. And I love all my dear friends who are there. Good thing I talked to a few of them yesterday...but Miss Rachelle wouldn't answer her phone, the bum! I really need to talk to her ASAP, too. Silly girl. Well...I miss you all. Lots. From 2500 miles away, this is me saying I LOVE YOU to my BYU friends (not just them, but all my friends who are out in Utah right now), and GO COUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! My blood is blue. No one can argue with that.

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

"What do you want for Christmas?"

This question is asked countless times during this Christmas season, and is one that has recently been asked of me a few times.  Since my birthday was recent, I heard a few times "what do you want for your birthday?" too.  And it has left me thoughtful... Here, I could talk about how we need to forget the materialism of Christmas and focus on the real meaning, how it isn't about getting but it's about giving, about how we need to love each other more...basically, I could give you any kind of canned, stereotypical answer in response to this subject, but these are not the thoughts I've had! My thoughts have been simple, and I always give the same answer: "I don't want anything".  And then people would push me into saying something, but I literally couldn't (and still can't) come up with anything I need, or even want.  What does that mean?  Life is great. :)  It means that I am satisfied with my life right now...yeah, I've still got questi...
