things i learned last night...

1. cadavers are scary.
2. it freaks me out when i can see their eyelashes. 
3. they stink.
4. there is so much more going on in the body than i ever imagined.
5. cadavers are fascinating.

the devil's shoes

anybody remember this post from kendle's blog? well, apparently it happens to everyone eventually. somehow i ended up with kendle's really cute keds in my shoe bin. i decided last thursday that i might as well wear them if i have them. WORST DECISION I EVER MADE.

i started walking to school and when i was approximately 10 feet from my apartment, i knew it was going to be a bad day. i went from class to work and as i was walking back to class, i called kendle. the conversation went something like this...

kels: "hey, i accidentally ended up with a pair of your shoes."
ken: "dang. which ones?"
kels: "your tan keds."
ken: "oh. you can keep those. they hurt my feet."
kels: "oh really? cause i think my feet are bleeding." (they were)

that was over a week ago and i still limp in certain shoes. *sigh* a little pain for beauty's sake, eh?

i am alive and well

believe it or not, i am alive up here at BYU. it's amazing how quickly time flies when you're working part-time and going to school full-time. and it doesn't help that i haven't had a computer to be able to blog about my experiences. anyway, i have some stories to share, but i also have about 30,000 pages of each textbook to read so for tonight i will just share the funniest video on youtube right now. enjoy.

return to provo

mom and i drove up to utah on tuesday. jason and laurel very graciously let us crash in their basement after and incredibly long day of driving. (thanks a ton!) wednesday i moved into my apartment, got all my paperwork done for my job, did a bit a shopping (i.e. bought mockingjay. awesome.) then went to paula's house to stay for a few nights (thank you paula!) today we did more shopping, moved more stuff in, bought my books, etc. along with our many adventures, today was my first time parallel parking EVER. (please don't make fun. i was very proud.) i kept getting excited and said i parallel parked and mom would say "no, you just pulled up to the curb." well this time was for real. there are cars in the front and cars in the back. i'm impressed with myself even if i am much farther from the curb than most people. :)

a day of jobs

yesterday started out as any other- dad at work, kendle at work, austin at school, mom and i tanning in the pool. but there was so much more about yesterday that made it such a great day. first, dad started his new job yesterday! yay! he said he had a great day and thought every one was really nice. he's really excited to start working hard for this new bank. thanks dad for all you do for our family :)

second, kendle had an interview for a new job yesterday. [i'll let her tell y'all about it, but let's just say it went "okay" ;)]

and last, i went straight from the pool to pick up austin from school. we headed off to the storage unit to pick up stuff i'll be needing for school. well as we walk in the door, mom is on the phone talking to our great friend paula. turns out, she needs a new secretary-type-person starting asap for the rmyl department [if that sounds familiar, it's because this is the exact same job kendle had when she was at byu]. anyway, i'm super excited for this! thanks a ton paula :)

quite the eventful day, wouldn't you say?

to my sisters

you two are my best friends! i love you both. happy birthdays :)

giggling

first, i just have to say that i love old spice commercials. they make me giggle.

second, i love this new BYU library commercial. it makes me giggle more.




ps- this guy (stephen) is a humor u guy. freaking funny. i had a little run in with him at a CES devotional. i was sitting right behind his girlfriend and he kept trying to put his arm around her. has anyone sat in the marriot center for an extened period of time? if so, you'll know it isn't exactly roomy. needless to say, his arm was basically on my leg all night long. it was a bit uncomfortable. this commercial redeemed him for me :)
