Empty

Everyone's gone. It feels so empty here. Even though my immediate family is still here, it feels so empty. I'd gotten so used to having ten extra people running around my house, then one, then three again. Now, it's just us. I could totally write a depressing post about how I feel, but that's no fun to read. I'm sick of feeling sad and lost, I've cried so much this last week. Happy time!

There was just a scary commercial on the tv. I felt like a little kid again because I couldn't find the remote fast enough to turn it so I just plugged my ears and closed my eyes for eternity until I was absolutely sure it was over. I saw a few scary movies back in my rebel days, cough cough 10th grade, and I regret that so much, they still haunt me a lot of nights. Stupid rebel me.

I've realized that I plug my ears differently than a lot of people. Is there a right or a wrong way to do that? I stick my fingers in my ears but I've seen a lot of people press on those little ear flap things on the side of their face? It hurts when I do that! So, are they the weird ones or am I the weird one? Or are none of us weird?

I absolutely love driving in the car with the windows down, feet on the dash, sun shining, singing along to the radio. Now, we just need a nearby beach where I can drive like that to. :) I want to go back to Cali sometime and just spend a week on the beach.

When my grandma was packing her stuff, I was like, you're my grandma! And she was like you wanna know how that happened? And I was like oh no but instead she said something pretty amazing. She was like there was this guy Adam and Eve and then there was Noah and she went on and told me about how her great grandparents came over here and how they moved to Idaho and how all these things had to line up just right so that I was born. She had to move to Utah, become friends with the neighbor guy, who set her up on a blind date. My mom had to go to that certain high school where she became friends with that one girl who was dating this guy who knew my dad, they set them up on multiple blind dates and bam, here I am.

Seminary graduation was tonight. I honestly never thought that I would make it to that. I failed 10th grade and had a lot of makeup work that I was just too stubborn to do. After two whole years of bugging and putting it off, I finally did the work. Actually, a shortened version because my teacher was so great this year and helped me :) My name was spelled wrong on my certificate though. It's spelled wrong on my patriarchal blessing as well, just a different way of wrong. If that makes sense. It's both funny and a little sad. Plus I had to say goodbye to friends again tonight. I've had to say so many goodbyes, it's getting depressing. I know I could see them all again if I really tried but there's just so many people, it's overwhelming. I need to go to bed, I'm not making any sense. Hahaha!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...
