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.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

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....
