Class.

I just had to blog about this...

In Book of Mormon today we were discussing Alma, chapters 1-4.
We were talking about Nehor, the Anti-Christ, and his priestcraft ways.
It was going good.
Then Dr. Whitchurch asks us what Nehor would look like if he walked in our class today.
Some kid raises his hand
And says "JERSEY SHORE."
Confused, Dr. Whitchurch says "What is Jersey Shore?"
Everyone's laughing, by the way.
And a girl says, trying not to be awkward, "It's a popular MTV TV show."
Dr Whitchurch: "OH."
And the kid, totally embarrassed says, "Yeah. I've just heard about it."
Way to be random kid I don't know.
Way to be.

Thanks for enduring BOM with me Ash. :]

Grown-up.

This weekend....
I had an event in life that made me realize that I was growing up.
I know.
It's taken me awhile.
Nothing had really made me realize what I was getting myself into.
Not graduating from high school.
Or getting a job.
Or moving out.
Or going to college.
Or sending friends off on mission.
Or my little brother getting baptized.
None of those things made me realize that I had grown-up....
Until now.

My good friend Ember is engaged.
And had a beautiful bridal shower.
And i was in attendance at that bridal shower.
Don't get me wrong.
It was fun.
The food was good.
Ember was glowing.
Everything was so precious.
But.
At one point.
I turned to Jules....
And said, "SHE'S. GETTING. MARRIED."
And Julie in all her wisdom turns to me and says, "Chelle. Calm. We'll all be getting married soon."
ummmm......
WHAT?!?!?!
I'm 18.
I could get married now.
I don't even want to think about that.
I'm not even steady dating.
Completely single.
How could I get married?
Bleh.
It's just so sad.
I remember when I was in high school and the extent of my dating questions were who was going to ask me to the dance.
I also remember playing soccer with Ember.
In high school.
Now.
Everything is different.
I'm growing up.
I have to start acting like one...
Easier said than done.

But for now.
I'll just ponder growing up.
And the life decisions on the way.
And maybe someday i'll get there.
Someday.
On the bright side...look at my pretty friends at the shower. :]

Happy end of November.

Weekend.

Just when I needed one most...
A great weekend. :]
Friends are the best.
Seriously.
I couldn't ask for any better ones.
Throw in some Harry Potter premiers....

Some epic Paint Party dancing. (seriously. Best dance ever.)

Some Turkey Bowl....Wardie style....

The last football game with some besties....

And a good old birthday party for Siera....

And you get an AMAZING weekend.
Seriously.
One of the best yet.
And now i'm heading back to the STG.
To chill with the crew.
And the fam.
And my besties.
:]
Two good weekends in a row.
Can't get any better than that.

Reality.

Remember when things happen that seem so far away?
And you think, "Hey. This day will never come."
Uh.
False.
It comes.
And it comes fast.
Like graduating high school.
Yeah.
That happened like 6 months ago.
Starting college. Like 3 months
Blah. :/
They all come fast.
And now.
It's time to say goodbye.
To Mike.

My SkyCoaster riding, AP Euro enduring, Sterling Scholar friend.
We bonded so much this past year.
He's a great friend.
And i'm going to miss him.
And of course...Brad.

What can I say about Brad?
We've become so close.
He's one of my best friends.
We have so much in common.
I feel like I can talk to him about anything and everything.
And John Mayer won't be the same without him.
I'm going to miss our funny convo's.
And our inside jokes.

But for now....reality is setting in.
Everyone is growing up.
And.
It's time for the goodbyes to start.
And I don't like it.
One.
Bit.

It's times like these that make me wish we were all still in high school....

Stuff.

Sometimes.
I have nothing to say.
And I haven't blogged for a while.
So.
I decide to blog.
About random stuff.
Like this song I love:

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps, praying the floor wont fall through...
Again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should have known....
"Dear John"- Taylor Swift

And sometimes my cute grandmother sends me Halloween packages.
With boots.
And cute shirts.
And some desperately needed money.

My mom comes up too.

And makes my day. :]

We go shopping and to PF Changs and other stuff.

We bond.

I miss her tons. :[

And she also brings me my car!

For 2 and a half weeks. 

I'm happy. :]

I put a pink, blue, and yellow wrap in my hair.

It's pretty legit. :]

I've actually made friends up here too!

Awesome huh?

I did it!

Meet my besties....Aly, Andrea, Anna, Aubreigh (holy A names), Mags, and Kayla.

Plus Thomas. Minus Ashley.

Here she is..... :]

Claire, Jess, and Jess are amazing too.

So is Will. :]

And of course.....MAMA. :]

Finally, I went to All Time Low.

It was SO good.

Alex was as hot as ever.

And I went crazy.

And crowd surfed.

And such is life right now. :]

Halloween.

Happy Halloween!
Four days ago....
Ha!
I'm a little behind.
I've had a HUGE research paper due.
Three tests next week...Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
Anyways...
I had fun. :]
College Halloween is definitely ten times better than High School Halloween.
Dance parties all weekend long.
Dressing up.
Ke$ha.
And good friends. From the good old STG and from the BYU. 
I love it. :]
Next year will be great.
Here are just a few memories....

Welcome to November. :]
