What a wonderful day!
Well, of three things I am completely SURE of right NOW. 1) I LOVE hot chocolate; 2) Heavenly Father truly blesses me when I ask with sincerity; 3) I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY MOM!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER!
This is kind of late in the day- I've been wanting to do it all day but was always on the wrong computer because this computer was supposed to have a picture of my mom on it. Guess what?! No picture!!! Can you believe that?!?! The thing is, I usually would but we went through this reformatting process a while ago and I haven't put our pictures back on this computer I guess. I forgot. Anyway- I just love my mom so much. She is so beautiful and talented and so loving and wonderful. I just wanted everyone to know that!
Well, I'll explain my things I am sure of as I mentioned in the beginning. First off, hot chocolate IS wonderful. Today I savored it by drinking slower than usual. USUALLY- I chug a mug of hot chocolate down as fast as a sprint runner chugs down a water bottle after a race. Seriously. It's sad. It is just sooooo good. I lasted probably 4 minutes this time. THAT is probably a record.
Second, Heavenly Father is so giving. You know how I haven't been very motivated lately? Well, last night in the shower I prayed for a long while to Heavenly Father. I really just talked a lot and asked a lot. It was a VERY sincere prayer and I literally begged Heavenly Father to help me get all the things done on my list today, at the times I needed to get them done. I also begged for Him to help me get up when my alarm went off (I have been struggling with that lately). Guess what? At 7am, the alarm woke me and I GOT UP! I read my scriptures, said my prayer, read my accounting chapter, went to class, finished my accounting chapter, did my accounting homework, did my other accounting class homework, ate, went to class again, finished my other accounting homework,, read my business law book, and got my business law assignment done. WOW. I did it all without hesitance! I was motivated, and understood ALL the material which NEVER happens (okay well there is one part that is confusing but really, I understand the core principles and am very confident). Anyway, the point is- I sincerely prayed for help today, and I just so happened to get EVERYTHING DONE on my list today! Do you know how exhilerating that is?!?! I felt great! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh goodness. I am so grateful. I said so many little prayers today thanking Heavenly Father for letting me get things done. I am really hoping I can keep this up. I just love it when the testimony of prayer is confirmed through experiences like this. It is was keeps me going. All of that may not sound like a lot, but it soooo is to me.
Now- other news. I thank you all for your compliments on our costumes! For your information, Vampires ARE supposed to be extremely gorgeous. Read twilight people! Oh how I love those books. I fear talking them up too much, but then I reassure myself that they aren't like that. They can't be talked up too much. They are THAT good.
Our VERY good friends (I want to say best friends, but you know how it is...I have no idea if they feel that way about us) Kristen and Zane, are moving into our complex (which is only 8 apartements so it's a big deal) and we are sooooooooooooo excited! They will officially live here tomorrow I think. They have already decorated their apartment and it is so cute. For those who don't know, she is 19 (just like me) and really cute and pretty and she loves crafts and stuff so we get along well. She is way funny. The only difference really is that she loves sports. ha, obviously I don't. I enjoy a little playing around, you know, I love a good game of Wii, but the real deals...no thanks.
We are currently experiencing the adventures of "The Office". We have only seen the first season. We just got the second season from our neighbors. We are excited. We've heard the second season is WAY better than the first. The first was so short! We watched it all last night!! hah. Anyway, it is very silly. So far, I LOVE Dwight. He is so helarious. Clay and I can't decide if we think Michael is funny or if we hate him.
Halloween is rolling forth. We stopped by Albertsons today, and there were TONS of college kids getting pumpkins. We decided that all of them are probably carving pumpkins for their FHE activity.
Lastly, Clay is obsessing over getting fish right now. It's crazy! We've decided it will be his Christmas present because he isn't the type to just get a goldy and put it in a bowl. He is planning on getting a 29 gallon tank (if you don't know how big that is...think about how big a gallon of milk is...times it by 29 and put it in a tank) with filters and heaters and lights and all sorts of stuff. I have no idea where it is going in our apartment. I honestly think we are going to end up rearranging the whole thing for a fish. Figures. Oh well. I'm just glad there will be a lid. I fear it jumping out and attacking me. Really...I'm kind of psycho when it comes to animals in houses.
Alright, this has been long enough. Love you all!!!

okay last one i promise
so if you haven't yet, read my previous post and THEn this post.
From my excitement for the movie, I read up on wikipedia what the book is about. It sounds a little scandalous to me. Teh book was published this year and I think the author probably went too far. Now I'm not sure. ugh. Basically they are all having sex and stuff. how disappointing.

yay!
Okay I know I JUST posted like 2 posts 2 seconds ago, BUT- I just read that "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" is in the workings for 2008!!! I know some of you probably thought the first one was corny, Clay always rolls his eyes when I mention it, but I LOVED it. I know all my sisters did too. So anyway- this better be real. I am so excited!!!
Vampires
Well, here we are! I had a lot more time to do my makeup- Clay was taking a test until 7:40 and the party was from 7-9 so we had to do his in like 5 minutes. I still thought he looked scary! This isn't how I picture Edward or Bella. You could call us...James and Victoria? ha...ha...Twilight humor, i love it! Anyway. I just tried to add my photo and it wont work- I will try in a bit! Hold tight!
I have a question- you know hot apple cider? The delicious kind we used to always have and I always just ate the powder plain? WELL- where the heck can you get it?!?! I've looked at walmart, AND albertsons, neither seemed to have it. I didn't ask anyone, simply because whenever I've ever asked someone at a store here, they just go to the exact isle I was JUST on and look for it like they are a customer. It is really irritating. I always think- okay, do you take me as blind or something? I ALREADY LOOKED HERE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLIN YA! I never say that, but that is what my mind is thinking. So if any of you have actually seen it or purchased it somewhere recently, please, let me in on the secret. Thanks.
I just purchased some candles at walmart to make our apt smell good. I got "Mulled Cider". It smells SOOO good. Can you wonder now why I want hot apple cider now? hehe. Anyway, I love it. It is good with the fall season and it is orange so it looks like the fall season and it works for christmas too, so hopefully they last long.
I cleaned up the house today. It feel soooo good to have a clean house. Apartment I guess is what it really is, we always call it our house..WELL- the point is, a freshly clean home is so much better feeling than a messy home. I loooooove my apartment when it is clean.
WELL- I'm off to eat something. I haven't really eaten all day. I ate a breakfast bar at like 12. Then I ate a bunch of mints. Then just a bit ago I drank some water. I need to be more disciplined with feeding myself...
Love you all. Bye!

Yessssssssss!!!
I'ts friday. All I can say is "hallelujah!". It's kind of been like that since the beginning of the semester. Once friday comes, all is well. REALLY, by 4:45 thursday, all is well. I was telling my classmate yesterday that all week I say to myself 'I just have to get through thursday and it will all be okay'. She said it's EXACTLY the same for her. I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with Financial Accounting and Tax accounting being back to back thursday morning? Probably. mmm no not probably- DEFinitely. Not to mention my Business Law class a few hours after that. After I get through with Thursday's classes, I feel like I've survived another week. I DO have 2 classes on friday but they are a breeze. New Testament and Economics. I don't know why economics seems to be so simple for me...I actually kind of like it. Anyway, there isn't too much pressure there.
WELL-today- 12:30 I will start my first ever REAL tax return. I admit though, I am doing it with a partner. We are doing a general Partnership Tax Return. I'm kind of excited, kind of nervous. I don't even know my partner. It's just a girl that sits behind me that didn't have a partner and neither did I so we hooked up. I think I overheard her say on the last exam she got a 58%...that isn't very comforting. We'll see. Anyway- then TONIGHT! Ward halloween partay! We are of course, going as vampires. I am excited but kind of scared. I am a very sensitive person and realize it's very possible for me to scare myself in the mirror. I decided I am not going to have lots of blood going down my face. Clay either. MAYBE a little...I'm not sure though. We are good vampires though, so we really shouldn't be walking around with blood down our faces. I will probably put pictures up tonight after the party.
Alright. I am going to actually fix myself up today. I am going to put curlers in my hair and do my makeup! Very exciting.
Love you all! Byeeeeeeee
