Musings of a 16 Year Old Girl With Too Much Time On Her Hands (My Dad Made Up This Title)

So I have this fetish with naming inanimate objects....

I'd like you all to meet:

This next guy is my lover!!! Oh Pokey! He is slow but he gets the job done!!!!!!

Oh wait...he's not an inanimate object....

that's okay!

We still love him!!!!!

Epic In Every Sense of the Word

Well this past weekend was epic for two reasons.

We'll start with this:

I saw Titanic for the first time.

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!

Love. At. First. Sight.

There's something about watching an amazing chickflick in your pajamas with junk food and all your girlfriends!

(Plus Rusty.)

It just made it that much better!!!! Image from Here.

I will marry Jack Dawson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm torn!

Who do I love more...

Peeta Mellark or Jack Dawson????

What say you?

Now for the main event:

The Cocopah Half and Full Marathon

Yuma, Arizona

Saturday, January 23rd

After my grandpa's death in September, some of the family decided to participate in his memory for his birthday which would have been this month.

My sisters Emily and Bekah, and my Aunt Johnelle sprinting in from the Half.

Bekah's biggest fans!

I told Emily to show me what champions look like, this is what she came up with.

Em with her #1 cheerleader! Her hubby Brett!

Barely awake but ready to cheer on the fam!

Sister Sarah and Aunt Pam finishing the Half!

Bekah went back and ran the last mile with them.

Aunt Kathy and Sam ran the last couple yards as well.

Victory!

Can I just say that my dad is a stud????

The man is 53 years old and ran a FULL MARATHON IN 4 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!

My Super Sisters!!!!!!!

All the girls!

I love my family!

This was such a great event to witness!

Between the two races, we had 11 runners and ALOT of cheerleaders all wearing our red Team Reg shirts.

If you click on any of the pictures you can see the shirts better.

Under the Team Reg it says:

"Still Hangin' in There"

One of many Regisms that my grandpa was known for is this:

"I'm still working on my S.H.I.T. program."

Man I miss that guy!

In other news, I missed EverybodyNose's Birthday!!!!

As of January 15th, this here blog has been alive for one year!!!

It's been a great one!

Here's to many more!!!!!

Crazy Kids and a Cowch

So the other day Jessica was driving down Brown and Horne and saw this awesome Cowch.

She told me about it and we KNEW we had to go take pictures.

And here's what we got: Yeah its blurry but at least they're in the air.

And daaang Rusty's got hops!

I'm laughing by the way...

His face made my day.

I thought of the wicked King Noah when I saw this.

B-ritt and Sammy playing patty-cake.

My friends are so cute!

Flexing their triceps brachii, heck yes I've been paying attention in anatomy!

Rusty was naughty.

No comment.

Can I just say that I have the best guy friends ever?

This one made me so happy!!!!

I love how Brittni's the only one making a normal face.

Have a happy MLK Day!!!!!!!

If I Were Anymore Irritated, I'd Be Dead

Image from here.

It's true.
At this moment in time, I am from the land of the
EXTREMELY IRRITATED.
However I will set that aside.
I will set aside the fact that:

My ipod went through the wash yesterday.

That is the exact same way my last ipod saw death.

If my little brother talks me again, I'm going to rip out his voice box.
(Not really, but I'm annoyed.)

I think I left Cammie in Ed's car.

My New Moon poster is all messed up.

I have to go to school tomorrow.

I was woken up early this morning by being told that my house got TP'd last night and I had to wake up and clean it up before the sprinklers came on.

Yes I'm going to set all that aside!
And we shall play a game.
Yes I stole this idea from the one and only Lauren.

So here's how it goes:
In the comment section you leave an anonymous comment giving some hint as to who you are. As they come, I will try to guess!
I've always wanted to do this and see how well I know my readers!
Ready. Set. Go.

Tag! I'm it.

So the beyond awesome Natalie Ingram tagged me with this like forever ago but I've been lame and haven't read everyone's blogs for weeks so here I am repenting.

1. Post a picture that makes you cringe. Yeah this is pretty self-explanatory right?

N.A.S.T.Y.

2. Two pictures that you could stare at all day.

I think we both (Sarah and I) look soo cute in this!!

And Sarah's arms are fabulous!

I aspire to have muscles like hers.

Usually when I take pictures with my gorgeous friends I always feel like I pale in comparison (not that I should be comparing) but with this one, I feel like we're equally hottttt!!

So I think technically I'm supposed to use pictures that are mine...but I did make this collage with picasa...so we'll just go with it.

Yeah.

I drool everytime I look at this.

And I stare for minutes at a time.

No joke.

3. Choose one picture that shows your dreams or aspirations.

Call me a cheesy sentimental fool, but I dream about having a boy look at me like this!

I dream of him knowing every single little thing about me, and loving me anyways.

I dream of marrying him, whoever he is, in the temple and being with him forever.

4. Tag and link to four bloggers and say why they inspire you:

1. My sister Emily (Brett and Em's Adventures)
I've always wanted to be like Emily. I want to dress like her, sing like her, be funny like her. She has the most amazing work ethic and will not stop until what needs to be done is done.

2. My sister Bekah (Jennings Story)
Bekah is the best example to me.

For what?

Everything.

For being a wife, a mother, and a person in general.

There is nothing she can't do!!!

3. My "sister" Kim (Kimberly)

Kim is a go-getter.

And she stands by her decisions.

Whether its being an EFY counselor, a new plan to get healthy or a calling in the church.

She never gives up!

4. The freakin' awesome Geneva (Hazardous Undertakings)

She can do ANYTHING!!!!

She's a friggin' triathlete???

If that's not inspiring then I don't know what is.

And don't forget the fact that she teaches JR. HIGH.

Code word for hell!!!!

And anyone else who wants to do this, go for it!!!
