^ Baking treats. I could see us doing this 10, 20, 30 years from now. PS Kelsey's face.



^ Stupid Corey Adams. "Okay Kelsey, look mad at the pizza. LOOK MAD AT THE PIZZA."



^ Stupid Corey Adams. Hahahaha.



^ Trying to be a sexy hot desperate housewife and supremely failing. Also realizing I forgot to put in an entire stick of butter.



^Treasuring the treasures



^ Gene freaggin Simmons tongue.




^ Being weird and embarrassing, it never ends



^ What do friends even do anymore besides bake cupcakes? These were stuffed with cookie dough, then had chocolate frosting on top. I just didn't get an after picture. HEAVEN.


I suppose this is the part where I say WOW THIS POST WAS REALLY RANDOM and
HAPPY WED-NEZ-DEE!

day 14: what i wore again.

I really didn't wanna blog yesterday, so here's day 14.



HEAR ME OUT: Mirror pictures are already sooooooo myspace that I threw in the classic myspace look and peace sign as well for DOUBLE trouble. Aw yeah.

FUN FACT: I literally got this skirt for a penny. I had exactly 16 dollars left of my bonus Christmas money at work. My total was $16.01. I only paid one measly penny.

FUN FACT: This ENTIRE outfit is from Downeast.....I have become their slave. (Willingly.)

STORY TIME: Chris's email today was superb. So last week his companion Elder Shannon started peeing blood. Sick, right? So they got to LEAVE THE MTC and GO TO THE HOSPITAL cause it was that bad. They were sitting there and then some policemen came in and said something about suspicious noises IN THE CEILING. So they climbed up there. Then bout ten minutes later they hear an "emergency code red" type of message over the intercom. There was an ESCAPED CONVICT running around IN THE CEILING. Apparently he told the hospital workers that he needed to go to the bathroom and then climbed into the ceiling. The boyz were trapped in the hospital for two hours. The policemen even brought dogs in. And the convict ESCAPED. Insane. I say this with the absolute utmost sincerity that I possess when I say that THEEE CRAZIEST things ALWAYS happen to Chris. ALWAYS. It is bloody uncanny. I wish so hard that my life was that exciting. I seriously am stoked for the Russia stories. So, I am not surprised in the least that this occurred. Awesome to read about though. And E Shannon will be alright....they just have to go to the hospital a couple more times. (!!!!) So for the next week if anyone wonders where I am, I'm just lurking around at the hospital. So don't worry.

PS Jenna Dobry, it was just peachy seeing you today.

hahahaha

From today's email:

"I ALMOST FORGOT! Me and Elder Shannon went to the finest, closest tree we could find and have been mending and creating wands! I have only been attacked by dementors 3 times so far, but I am NOT risking it anymore. Thats what I feel like the MTC is. Hogwarts. "

My own Ron Weasley. He cracketh me up.

a good day in mail.

In the mail, I got this aaaaawesome cheap stationary. I think that if I were a graphic designer, I would design like her.



I lurve the envelopes.
No, no, thank YOU, Jill!



And 2 letterz. One from the one and only, JADE MADISON! Complete with an exquisitely detailed illustration of her hefty math teacher.
AND, one from the missionary himself as well!!!!!!!!!!
FIVE PAGES OF GOODNESS!!
YES!



Love getting mail.

off you go.

First letter: Sent.



Oh. Also I got pulled over on my way home from work tonight. The perfect end to the most AWESOME week EVER. Crying doesn't work, Megan Abel. They still ticket you.

things are looking up.

And I mean REHEHEHEEEEALLY looking up. Cause guess who doesn't have to take a math class ever again after next semester? THIS GIRL.

Totally off that subject,
Last night after work I went with Chris to say our goodbyes to his friends Colby Richards who is missioning in Germany and Jared Reynolds who is missioning in Uruguay. Erik and I were chatting and doing our perpetual nodding without saying anything at each other and he asked me "So are you going to cry?" and I said "Naw." We got to Colby's house and everyone had red eyes. It was the saddest. As I was leaving I went to shake Colby's hand and promptly started bawling. This is hard stuff. Hard, hard stuff. Reality is starting to hit me. And smack and punch and slap me. I thought I knew everything. I don't.
But......

I CAN DO IT!

I must.

good laughin's.

Yesterday Chris informed me we were doing an activity and he took me to the mall and we went to Build a Bear and this is what we did.





We had to do it.

RUSSIA

I'd thought Germany, Italy, Scotland. I knew he was going foreign; stateside was not for Chris. I wasn't getting any vibes from South America. I doubted Africa. I was set on Europe. Today, Italy sounded nice. Of all the countries, cities, islands, continents, I never considered Russia. That is where Chris is serving his mission. Vladivostok, Russia. On the far East side by China. In fact, I never even knew that part of the world existed. You think of that area and you think of Japan and China. Not Russia. I had imagined today over and over in my head. It is so strange that it's happened. Now all I can see is Chris wearing one of those fuzzy hats. Other than that, I cannot picture him there. It makes me a little scared. Russia is such a....fierce country. Lots of big men with unibrows. And Chris will be there. Shivering his buns off for two years. It. Is. Insane. He leaves January 12. Blehhhh. I should have known God was trying to send me a message when my crazy neighbor came and talked to me and tried to hook me up with her son. Russia. What?

andrew

He really does exist!!!



Words cannot describe how weird it was meeting this guy. It was so awesome.
1. He has a Mexican accent.
2. He is super tall.
3. He is quiet and calm.
4. He looks exactly like Chris's dad.
5. He looks much older than 21.
6. He has about seven jillion ties.
7. I think this picture is really cute.
8. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to get to know him. What an exciting evening.
