Bruddah.

My wittwe bwothew turned 17 yesterday.
This makes me....
OLD!
He's going to be an ADULT next year.
And i'll be 19 in 3 months.
Holy cow.
I don't wanna grow up.

Anyways.
Brad is great.
I miss his Chellie voice and his massive hugs every time I walk in the door.
And fighting over the car is great too.
Nah.
Ever since i've gone to college,
We've gotten along so much better.
Cause.
Let's be honest.
I miss him.
So.
In the spirit of missing him,
I actually like hanging with him when I'm home.

This picture is SO old. Ha.

Happy Birthday Brad.
Go kiss someone for me.
Just kidding.
You're awesome.
I love you.

This girl goes home in 9 days....
Can you believe it???

Inspiration.

Since Finals are lurking,
And coming in a week.
I thought I would give some inspiration.

Happy Friday. :]

Conference.

"Walk with the confidence that God will guide your steps."
- David A. Bednar

Obviously, my favorite talk was Bednar's.
It was seriously so amazing.
Light.
Such an interesting topic.

I am so grateful for this weekend.
For all the talks given.
They were seriously so amazing.
Such a spiritual boost.
I now know I can do anything these next 3 weeks to finish out college.
I'm also thankful for Aly and Jess.
They are such great friends.
They lifted me up when I needed it the most. :]
So.
Hello Finals Week.
Come and get me.
Isn't it awesome that Heavenly Father knows what you need most?

This kid?
He's in Germany.
Berlin is now a place I need to visit ASAP.
That picture makes it look so appealing huh?
Ha! ;]
Later.

Call.

Holy. Cow.
After today's events, a wake up call to Michelle Wood has been issued.
Grow up.
Buck up.
And move forward.

Conference shall be GREATLY needed this year.
What a blessing it is in our lives.

Mom.

Happy birthday to the greatest mom in the world.

She's the pretty one in the purple.
I love my mother.
So much.
She seriously is my best friend.
I can talk to her about anything and everything.
And we laugh.
A lot.
And she's the only one who can make fun of my past weirdness.
And boyfriends.
And misfortunes.
She is such a strength in my life.
I don't know what I would do without her.
I miss her so much, and I only live 325 miles away.
We talk almost every day.
I wish I could be there for her big day.
But alas.
College calls.

Happy 47th Mommy.
I love you so much.
Thank you for being my best friend.
I'll see you soon.
..chelle..

..chelle..

List.

Everyone's been making bucket lists lately.
I have one.
But I don't want to join the trend entirely.
So.
I made a different list.
A college bucket list.
Of things I want to accomplish before I GRADUATE.
Or get married.
Yuck.
No.
We'll say graduate.
Anyways,
Here we go


#1. Road Trip to California.
ALY. KAYLA. AUBREIGH. MAGGIE.
This is for you.
We will go to a beach house in California.
We will party all weekend long.
We will tan.
And we will live life to the fullest.
Coins for Cali! :]

#2. Camp-Out.
I want to camp out before a BYU basketball game.
Really.
Badly.
In a tent.
Overnight.
In front of the Marriott Center.
In the cold.
To watch our soon to be below average basketball team play.
Everyone else did it this year.
And I think it would be so fun.

#3. Go to an Away Game. Outside of Utah.
Whatever sport (preferably basketball or soccer)
I want to go and watch them play.
Especially now that we're independent at football.
Which may be my only chance to go to the great University of Texas.
Don't ask why this is one of them.
It just is.

#4. Live Abroad.
This is HOPEFULLY coming true Winter 2012 to London.
That is for another blog post.
Later.

#5. Internship.
Again, this is hopefully coming true next year.
I want to intern in New York City SO badly.
Really.
Really.
Badly.

#6. Become a True Cougar.
That's easier said than done.
Kiss at the Cougar Statue out from of Lavell Edwards Stadium at midnight. (Is this true? I just heard someone talking about it....sounds cool.)
First, find boy. (Obviously a hard task for me.)
Second, accomplish kiss.

#7. Tunnels in the H-FAC.
Need I say more?

#8. Get on the roof of the SWKT.
And look at campus.
Pretty huh? :]
I thought so too.

#9. Get a 4.0 one semester.
Ambitious, I know.
Especially for me.
But.
I know it won't happen this semester (stupid American Heritage).
So you can only hope for later on in life.

#10. Win an Intramurals T-shirt.
In anything. I'm ready to win.

Maybe the list it will grow more as college goes on....
But those are my core 10.

Only 3 more weeks of classes....
Freshman year is almost over. :[

The roomie this year and next year....I LOVE HER. :]
We're going to kill this next year.

Anyways.
Sorry for the long post.
Peace.
Blessings.
