My Mother Just Took all of the Excitement Out of My Life...

So, first of all, I am not engaged... It was a joke. My roommate lets me wear this fake ring she has all of the time and it is so much fun.I was looking for a little bit of excitment in my life, so I started telling people I was engaged. It was fun while it lasted, but then my mother made me tell the truth. It is wierd sometimes how doing the right thing is always sooo boring. I love my mother, but it seems like she is trying to teach me life lessons through the "Boy who cried wolf" story all too often. Love you mom...

It Has Finally Happened... I'm Engaged!

It has finally happened! I am engaged! It has been the absolutely best weekend ever! For those of you who don't know him, his name is Casey Hansen and he is from Huntington Beach. He is majoring in PDBio and he is minoring in business. He is going to be an oral surgeon... So basically that means that we are going to in debt for a long a time, but we all are going to have to start making sacrifices around here... right? If you are reading this you are most likely invited... So mark your calenders for September 25 at the San Diego Temple!

The nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me....

I love hanging out with Craig's friend Josh. He cracks me up and I feel like he is one of the few people at this school that truely appreciates me. The other day we were in the library together and he looks up at me and says, "You know Amy, I think that you are really selfish. You keep your personality all to yourself and if you weren't so selfish you would be married tight now!" I will never forget that. It made me laugh and then I was really grateful that Josh is around because he appreciates me for exactly who I am...

My Mother... Gotta Love Her!

So today when I was talking to my beautiful mother she said something very interesting. When she said it I was pretty offended, but now that I think about it I can kind of see where she is coming from. I told her that I really wanted a boyfriend and she said, "Amy maybe the Lord knows that you are not ready for a boyfriend because you don't have any self-control." What the? (But I do have to say that I was not even half as offended as when she told me that I am not a compassionate person... Love you mom. Deep down I know I am your favorite right behind Kristi and Sarah... Dang.) Anyway that is besides the point. The more that I think about what my mom said the more I think that she might be right. Just a few pictures to illustrate my point...





My friends and I went to a concert a Velour. A local band from BYU was playing.




My friends birthday party... The first picture was totally taken out of context, so it doesn't count. If anyone finds this offensive, just let me know and I will remove it propmtly.




Need I post these pictures again...



My friend Jerry really wanted to teach me how to spoon... I didn't know that it took a lesson, but he made me.

So in conclusion, I would like to thank my mother for pointing out just a few of my many weaknesses.It is greatly appreciated. I always love good constructive criticism and ideas of why my life isn't the way I would like it to be... Love you!

Hiking the Y... Go Cougs!

My friends and I hiked the Y yet again this past weekend. We got up early Saturday morning and ventured up to the top. We plan on doing it every weekend until we look totally hot in our swimsuits (not going to take much work at all, especially when I kick it in my zebra suit... woot woot).I love these girls that I hang out with. I have finally found people that except me for who I am and they are so dang funny! We play off each other and that is what I have been waiting for. After we hiked the Y, we went to the Relief Society breakfast and the Relief Society President came and sat down next to me and my friend Sarah and proceeded to tell us that we are the funniest girls that she knows... I would venture to say that is a compliment and I will take it. Unfortunately, only a small population of people find my jokes funny at BYU... can't win 'em all I guess. Oh, also something really bad that happened on the hike... When no one is talking, I start to and many times that is unfortunate for everyone involved. I don't obey social cues, lack a social filter and unfortunately don't usually think things through before I saw them. So my friends found out how illiterate I am in history, for some reason I forgot that Europe wasn't involved in the Civil War...woops. Kristi wanna hang out?

A Testimony to Ward Activities...

I don't know if it is apparent from these pictures, but I had an amazing weekend. We had a ward photo scavenger hunt and I for some strange reason was in an amazing mood... it is most likely due to the fact that I had just returned from dinner at Costco (My favorite place in the world, especially if I am with my dad). But anyway, one of the things on the list to take pictures of was a kiss with the member of the opposite sex... So of course I jumped on that. We only needed one, but then this way hot guy answered the door so I just took what I could get. As I was walking away, I said, "If you want my number just let me know!" My friend then said, "Amy he was really going to get your number..." So of course I wrote my number on a piece of paper and had my friend give it to him. He texted me later that night, but unfortunately I don't think that it is going anywhere...dang. Looks like I am still single and alone... dang.
