Guilty.
Apparently everyone and their dog are obsessed with Glee. I never watched it until yesterday, when I saw the first episode of the season on Hulu. And today I watched the episode that aired last night. And I've come to conclusion, that the only reason people keep watching it is because Finn's a total babe. Or maybe that's just why I kept watching it..

Help a Sister Out!
Do you know anyone who is living in Logan, hates their roommates and wants a new place?
How about someone who wants to live in Logan, but no where to live yet?
Or perhaps you may know someone who is going to school at Utah State and still hasn't found a place to live? (not likely.. but I thought I'd ask anyway.)
IF YOU DO: Please help me out!
I need to sell my contract, ASAP. Like I said, there's no reason for me to be living in Logan when I can work from home without paying rent. Seriously, I'm desperate people!
Please and Thank You. :)

I've got some good news.. I've got some bad news..
Which would you like to hear first?
How about the bad.
I like ending on a positive note.
Bad News: So.. turns out; not only do you have to live in Utah for 12 consecutive months and be able to prove it, BUT your car has to be registered in Utah, be registered to vote in Utah, and have a current Utah's drivers licence in order to apply for in-state tuition. And all of this had to be done by June 1st. I did not know that. So when I faxed in my application with proof that I did, in fact, work and live in Utah for the past year, I was hoping to pay in-state tuition because I didn't receive a whole lot of loan money and without in-state tuition I would still have to pay another $1500. I didn't have the money and my classes were dropped. So here I am, in Logan, with no job and no classes, and not really loving the whole housing situation. Bummer.
I usually run every day (or try to at least.) But I've been pretty good with it for the past couple of months. Well, yesterday I was only running for ten minutes and my leg was throbbing! A sharp pain would shoot up my leg every time I lifted it to take my next step. I iced it when I got home, not that it helped or anything, because seriously every time I lifted it, I wanted to cry. I've always had bad knees, but I've never experienced anything like this before. No more kangoo jumping for me.. for a while at least. Which sucks, because I've lost about ten pounds in the last month or so, and I was loving it! Bummer.
that's it for the bad news.. hopefully! (crossing my fingers..)
Good News: I might have landed myself a job today. Don't get too excited, it's only at Sizzler. ha ha ha. However, as I was filling out my application today, I did come across a fairly attractive male who also works there. You better believe that he was eyeing me too. ;) The manager said he would call me when he was doing interviews. Apparently he was really impressed when I said I had previously worked at Sizzler for 2 years.
AND.. since I am not going to school right now, I need something else to fill up my time. SOO.. drum roll please...... I am going on a mission! Big shocker, right?! haha. I may have mentioned before that I wanted to serve one, but in all honesty I wasn't entirely serious. I was really hoping I'd be married or engaged or in a relationship or SOMETHING. But I'm not. and I am 100% okay with that, because that means I have a whole 18+ months to strengthen my weaknesses, grow closer to the Lord, and do whatever I need to do that would make me a better wife/mother. I've never felt this good about any decision I've made in my life this far. When I am serving others is when I am truly the happiest, so a mission would be a great opportunity for me. I want to start on my papers this weekend. So it's for realz. I was inspired to believe that I will be serving in the Greece, Athens mission. hahahaha just kidding. I just think it would be siiiick to serve there! Sisterhood of the traveling pants anyone?? (isn't that where alexis bledel found her hottie?) I also would love to serve in New York, doing church history tours or something. I think that would suit me well.
Oh yeah.. and a stranger told me today that I would make a great missionary. They said I had a light about me and that I was very outgoing and friendly. Probably made my whole week.

I Smell Aggies!
Yes; I am back in Logan, in case you were all wondering- and lovin' every minute of it!
One of my goals this year was to be more outgoing and meet lots of people. Well, I'd say that I did a very good job today in living up to that goal.
I went to a fireside up on campus.. I didn't know my roommates had left already, so I just walked up by myself. (which turned out to be a better situation anyway.. forces you to talk to people other than your roommates or whoever you're with.)
Well, along comes a boy. Tall, blonde, blue eyes, BOW TIE.. just to give you a visual. We talk. He's new. We sit together at the fireside. He's funny. Probably nothing more than just friends. But it was nice to meet someone new.
Walking home. Frat boy harassing passersby yelling out tv or movie quotes, asking us to guess what it's from. He's ignored. I play his game. He's impressed that I knew the answers. We start talking. He's average height, has darker hair, with a 5 O' clock shadow. Asks me how church was. I tell him it was a fireside, and that it was great except I didn't understand the new ward boundaries that they had rearranged. He says he stopped going to church because he didn't understand it. I share a few words about how awesome the Gospel is, and that he should go back. He doesn't know what to say. I smile. We shake hands. I started walking home.
Five steps later, two unfamiliar boys are waiting for me. One with a shaved head, tall, medium built. The other; light brown hair, nice smile, very attractive. They say, "Did you just go up to him and tell him he should go back to church?!" (Our fireside was about bringing the inactive back into the church, and befriending them, etc. So they were pretty impressed that five minutes after the fireside ended, I was already befriending the inactive.) I tell them that we just got talking, and the words just came out of my mouth, pretty naturally I might add. We get talking. Find out the attractive one is from IONA. He went to my rivalry high school. His apartment is to the right. He says, "We're in apartment 12. Now you have no excuse not to come and see us." I'm flattered. I promised I'll make it over sometime. And I walk home.
So.. to sum this all up:
1. I met 4 new people within two hours. All of which were men. Two of which were very good looking.
2. I shared my love for the Gospel with someone who might have needed it.
3. I was a lot more confident when talking to people than I ever have been.
and 4. I think I will be walking alone from now on. I guess I'm more approachable that way.
Pretty successful Sunday, I'd say.
Also, I was catching up on Conference Talks today, and came across one that I really needed to hear. (or read, in this case.) It's from the most recent Priesthood Session called, "Continue in Patience" By Pres. Uchtdorf <--- Truly amazing. It's days like these where my heart just swells with gratitude and love for the Savior and this Gospel. The Church is TRUE. amen.

trust issues
if something is too good to be true.. it usually is.
.. on that note: that job is a no-go.
turns out, the whole thing was a fake.
i called my mom [bawling] telling her the whole thing was a fraud, and that i had no job.
i spent most of my money on things i didn't need, because i was expecting a $300 check that week.
i didn't go down to logan to look for jobs, because he made it certain to me that i got the 'job'.
now i'm sure that all the employers have already hired who they want.
i still have no job.
no money.
and $1500 i need for housing when i move down.. in one week.
when this all went down, i couldn't help but to be so angry.
i thought, "why does nothing ever go my way?" "why, why why.."
then my mom said, "just be grateful that you found out before it was too late."
who knows what would have happened, had i met my so-called employer.
i don't know what he was up to, or what his motives were, but it ended at that.
you can't trust anyone through the internet.
if anything, this whole experience just opened up my eyes, and made me realize that scary things could happen over the internet.
i listened to what my mom said and i am so grateful that i didn't go to logan with hopes of a great job, show up to my first day of work to find out there is no little boy, or wife, and maybe not make it home. i don't care to know what would have happened to me. but i'm so grateful it ended there.
on a slightly different note: how do i make my blog private?

Bringin Home the Bacon
I was dreading the whole job search thing again. When I got home from Oklahoma, I was planning on going down to Logan to look for a job, because without one I wouldn't be able to move down there for school. Well, this morning I decided to look around on the Internet for some jobs before I headed down. I saw a a job listed on Craigslist for a part-time nanny. I typed up a quick email stating that I was interested, and I got a reply shortly after.
Well, I got that job!
Duties include:
Well, I got that job!
Duties include:
- Household chores
- Running errands
- Caring for a 3 year old boy
Hours/Compensation:
- 2-6pm Monday-Friday, 20 hours
- $300/week
Yep. You read it, I'm getting paid $15 an hour to play with one little boy! They're from London, and he's being re-located for his job to Logan, Utah. He said as soon as I agree to the position he'll have his financial advisor forward a check for $300 through express delivery, so I get paid immediately. They don't arrive in Utah until August 29th, which is perfect because I don't move until the 25th.
How sweet is that?! I didn't even have to stress about driving to Logan applying for every job available, crossing my fingers hoping I get one. Just a short email did the trick! Answered prayers? I'd say so!

GNO
One of my favorite things about being single is being able to have a GNO whenever I want! I don't have to ask the hubbs for permission to leave his side for the night, and I'm free to mingle/flirt without everlasting consequences.. it's the best!
Well, since I've been in Oklahoma, my sister lets me tag along to all of her GNO's. On Friday we hit up Cheesecake Factory to celebrate National Cheesecake day.. all cheesecake's half off. My herb-crusted salmon was completed with a big ole' slice of White Chocolate Carmel Macadamia Nut Cheesecake, that I shared with my sister. Jealous much? Then we hit up Bricktown (Down town OKC) for some dancing! So much fun! Makes me miss college a lot. Ran into some crazies, "Hey! Be nice to my friends, it's their first time in America!" or "Pretend like I'm one of the girls just dancing in your circle." And while walking back to the car, "You know what's wrong with this picture? A bunch of smokin hot women, with no guys. I'm serious, (as he points to every girl) you're smokin hot, smokin hot, smokin hot,etc.. "Although, he did emphasise smokin hot when he pointed to Leah. "SMOOOOOOOKIN HOT!" haha, I had to laugh. So, all in all, Friday night was a huge success. Big thanks to my sis Leah for allowing me to tag along with her and all the other married women! Makes me feel so grown up!
Speaking of grown up.. what's with all of my nieces and nephews thinking I need to settle down and get married?!
i.e.
"Laurel how old are you?"
"20!"
"Why aren't you married then?"- Avery
or
"Laurel, when are you going to have kids?"
"When I get married."
"Well, hurry and get married then!" -Sheldon
or
"Hey Laurel, Greg's single, maybe you can marry him?" -Jace
WOAH hold up kids! Let me live my life, let me have my GNO's, let me have fun! Why settle down now?! Sheesh. :)
*for the audience that may have been confused throughout this whole post; GNO= girls night out.

i have a months worth of catching up to do..
Traveling: so, we left phoenix--> drove 18ish hours with three kids to make it to idaho falls. (it would have only been 15 hours had we not gotten stuck in two hour backed up traffic from a car wreck and summer construction.. but despite the fact that we were in the car for so long, the kids were actually really good.) --> i got to hang out with my family for two weeks and during the most important time of year, the fourth of july! (idaho falls has the second best firework show in the nation, only next to philidelphia.. hollla!) --> after our two weeks were over, we then took off to oklahoma city (19 hour drive), which is where i'm at right now.
Festivities: we made it to idaho falls just in time to help my family pack up and move.. perfect timing, right?! in all honesty, i was glad i was able to be there to help. without the help of my brother who's on a mission, and my dad who travels so much, i'm sure my mom was glad to have another set of hands to help pack up and move boxes. i'm excited for my family to move though. i wish they would have found that house when i was living with them though! it's up on the hill, so the view of the whole city is incredible. i'm excited to visit! And we're right next door to the Christensen's. Tyler, their son is one of Layne's best friends.. and Layne always tells me how stoked he is to be neighbors when they're off of their missions. He said, quote, "Being neighbors with Tyler is going to be the sickest thing ALMOST ever to happen to me! I can't wait to be standing in our European underwear on our balconies!" haha, that's quite the visual, Layne!
I was able to drive up to Logan for a couple of days and spend time with my grandparents and extended family. My cousin had his mission farewell, and he did an amazing job! So good luck to Elder Schenk who just left for Brazil!
Being home isn't complete without one of our infamous game nights. we pulled out some oldies for this one.. POGS! i totally dominated, by the way. Laynes skeleton slammer definitely didn't disappoint! i also dominated in a little game of Poker. maybe i should take my luck all the way to vegas!
the fourth of july was amazing. the parade was a little long, but all worth the wait when i saw my sisters dancing in their kangoo jumps! HA HA! it was actually really good, and it didn't look stupid at all! you put all the other floats to shame! my dad reserves rooms at the Shilo Inn every year, so we have prime seating arrangements for the firework show. we got to eat at the banquet dinner and listen to Ali and Christina sing the National Anthem. they are amazing. I'm so grateful to know them, and to have been such good friends with Ali. I have never met a sweeter girl than her. they made it to Hollywood on America's Got Talent.. so everyone vote for Ali and Christina- and look them up if you haven't already! Seriously, do it. I hope and pray for the best with them.
Randoms: when i was in phoenix, i went to my sisters ward and saw a familiar face.. Elder David Fager! haha he's serving a mission there. it was weird trying to catch up, cause you couldn't be like well let's go to lunch or something! We just shook his hands and shared spiritual thoughts.. haha
i emailed layne late on a sunday night last week, and i was just looking through my inbox and i see an email from him already. it said, "DUDE don't get off, stay on and talk to me!" it may or may not be allowed, but i stayed on anyway and we emailed back and forth for an hour until his computer time was up. it was like we were texting again, it was awesome! i might have to email him in the late hours of the night more often! ..i might also have to check with the missionary handbook to see if that's even allowed.. But layne is doing so well, he had two baptisms last week and was on cloud nine. check him out at elderlaynerasmussen.blogspot.com, if you haven't already.
And I hope my mom doesn't mind I'm posting this, but I just laugh every time I think of it. My mom, Leisha, and I were cleaning all day and my mom was trying to get the vacuum to work, and apparently nothing was going right for my mom that day. So she said, "do I need to say a little prayer?!" and I said, "Yeah, and maybe you need a joint to ease your troubles too." "Why, so I can poke my eyeballs out with it?" haha Leisha and I thought that was so funny. My mom is so sweet and innocent.
side note: i don't do drugs, nor turn to them when days have gone bad.
pictures to come, maybe videos, depends on what my dad uploads cause he took all the pictures!

Randoms: when i was in phoenix, i went to my sisters ward and saw a familiar face.. Elder David Fager! haha he's serving a mission there. it was weird trying to catch up, cause you couldn't be like well let's go to lunch or something! We just shook his hands and shared spiritual thoughts.. haha
i emailed layne late on a sunday night last week, and i was just looking through my inbox and i see an email from him already. it said, "DUDE don't get off, stay on and talk to me!" it may or may not be allowed, but i stayed on anyway and we emailed back and forth for an hour until his computer time was up. it was like we were texting again, it was awesome! i might have to email him in the late hours of the night more often! ..i might also have to check with the missionary handbook to see if that's even allowed.. But layne is doing so well, he had two baptisms last week and was on cloud nine. check him out at elderlaynerasmussen.blogspot.com, if you haven't already.
And I hope my mom doesn't mind I'm posting this, but I just laugh every time I think of it. My mom, Leisha, and I were cleaning all day and my mom was trying to get the vacuum to work, and apparently nothing was going right for my mom that day. So she said, "do I need to say a little prayer?!" and I said, "Yeah, and maybe you need a joint to ease your troubles too." "Why, so I can poke my eyeballs out with it?" haha Leisha and I thought that was so funny. My mom is so sweet and innocent.
side note: i don't do drugs, nor turn to them when days have gone bad.
pictures to come, maybe videos, depends on what my dad uploads cause he took all the pictures!
