TO DO LIST: that is a mile long

I have a to do list that is a mile long. I don't see the end of it in sight. I have so much to do between today and the end of May. I thought I would share because I need some place to write it down and remember them all and I am on my blog a lot so I decided it was the perfect place.

TO DO LIST:

clean house
do laundry
pack for two trips
read required books
fill out graduation application
fill out forms for student teaching(there are a ton of them)
start school with 18 credits
stop working
get finger printed
print out a lot papers out
grocery shopping
sign up for two required tests
take those two tests

I believe there is more but I can't think of all of them right now so I will add them later! I am off to tackle my list

The Next BACHELORETTE

Ashley Hebert age:26

Hebert, a fourth year dental student at the University of Pennsylvania, vied for Brad Womack'sheart but was sent home from South Africa just shy of the season finale.

"I'm open hearted and interested in meeting the guys," Hebert says, "and hopefully fall in love."

The Bachelorette will air on May 23rd on ABC. I can't wait for this upcoming season to start because I really like Ashley from Brad's season. More to come in a few months!

After the final rose

BRAD CHOSE EMILY!

Yay I was so happy after watching the season finale of The Bachelor. Brad picked Emily! She was my absolute favorite since the first episode. They are so cute together. I watched the After the Final Rose and Emily was acting kind of weird and it made me think that they weren't going to last but now I am hoping it will because now that the show is over they can concentrate on their relationship and not worry about all the other girls. I hope they end up happy and getting married! I am just so glad Brad chose Emily!

The Bachelor Final Episode Preview

My favorite of these two girls is Emily Maynard! I hope that Brad picks her because she has been through a lot in her lifetime and is such a fun loving, sweet person. I think she compliments Brad really well and I think they would be really good for each other! I guess we shall see tonight!

Good News...the end is near!

I just had to post about the good news that I found out today! I found out that by April 2012 I will be completely done with college...forever! This means that I have school this spring and fall and then I do my student teaching in January of 2012 to May of 2012.
So the biggest news of all is that I graduate college THIS DECEMBER!! That is right folks I can officially walk across BYU-I graduation stage in 9 months. I am so happy I can't even begin to express my excitement.

Life as we know it

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!

This is my new favorite movie. I watched it for the first time in Utah while I was visiting my family. I loved it so much I went out and bought it yesterday and have watched it twice since then.

It is a movie about taking life one step at a time. It really opened my eyes to live each day to the fullest because I never know what will happen and what responsibilities I may have to take on as a result of life happenings.I learned to cherish the people in my life and love them no matter what.

If you don't own it, go BUY it!

Very Surprised

Yesterday Randy, me, Brian, and Celia were driving to Idaho Falls from Blackfoot and we saw a herd of cow elk on the side of the freeway. Then today Randy and I were driving in the foothills right behind our house and we saw eight bull elk. The really weird thing is that elk aren't around here much because of being killed by wolves or migrating. It is a very rare event to ever see elk in the forest, let alone in the foothills by people and the freeway. I was really excited because I had never really seen elk in the wild before and to see them two days in a row in unexpected places was really awesome! It really made my whole day and I thought I would share with my blog readers. Cow elk

Hold My Hand

I just wanted to share this link with my blog readers because I heard this the other day and I thought is was really good! Enjoy.

...Weekend in Utah...

This weekend I got to go down to Utah for a quick trip to see my family. I rode down with a good friend of mine. I hung out with my family and we did dinners, movie, shopping, watching a movie as a family, and I played with my cute niece Peyton. She is so big and so much fun to be around. When she was little she was very aware of strangers and wouldn't go to anyone that she didn't know. Well that has worn off some because when I first got there on Friday afternoon I came in and said hello and she smiled and ran straight to me. It was so good to see and be able to hang out with my family. Can't wait to see them in two weeks!
