Fung Shwaay

we rearranged the room today.

it looks fantastic.

i'm basically in love with it.

we put our dresser in our closet.

so we had to downsize the closet by like 4 feet.

so....that meant a lot of folding and stuffing.

me and Haley, combined, have so much stuff.

it feels right though.

everything looks so homey! 

i raised my bed up too. 

it's super high.

and i have to step on my cinder block to get on it.

way fun.

and Haley can stare at me while i sleep.

hello creeper.

Capacity (a synonym for productive)

i was so productive today.

i got up and got dressed.

ok...so i was late for class...

that was the worst...

but! 

it turned around quick.

i went to my other class and finished my assignment IN CLASS.

then i went and did my discussion group.

then i worked out.

then i went to SI and hour early.

thanks to Haley.

so we sat in the quad side cafe.

then we went to SI and it was the best.

then i saw my cousin.

then we went to Wendy's.

then i did my homework.

now i'm blogging!

it's been a good day!!

oh jeez,

except that it's freaking COLD. 

it dropped like 20 degrees.

AND I WORE MY COMBAT BOOTS.

wooty. woot.

am i being boring because i don't do fun colors or put up pictures anymore?

nope.

rant of the day

i've been feeling super off this week.

i don't know what it is.

but i hate it.

maybe it's the after shock of PMS.

but maybe it's different.

i feel like i'm missing something and i don't know what it is.

i can't figure it out.

plus i've been having boy troubles.

but not really.

i think i'm just being too sensitive.

i need to stop being like that.

is it bad to say i need to focus more on myself?

is that too self centered?

i feel like i've been super self centered lately.

i need to stop that too.

things i need to stop doing:

1. being self centered.
2. missing class.
3. taking things personally.
4. reacting to things i take personally.
5. reading too into things.
6. being inappropriate.
7. eating out.
8. not doing my homework.
9. being down on myself.
10. leaving my dishes out. 
11. going to bed way late.
12. tweeting all of my feelings. 
13. leaving my bed unmade.
14. talking about myself so much.
15. being a bad friend.

things i need to start doing:

1. praying

2.  reading my scriptures.

3. doing my homework.

4. focusing on school.

5.  working out.

6. budgeting.

7. calling my parents more.

8. being happy.

9. eating better.

10. setting goals.

11. taking more "me" time.

12. taking more pictures.

13. writing poetry again.

14.  petting more kitties.

15. blogging more.

who knew life was so difficult.

i sure never expected it to be so hard.

if anyone could give me tips on life...

please do.

i need it.

and also,

is it too much to ask for a freaking guy to stop leading me on?

really though.

if you're a guy, and you're reading this:

i think you're an idiot.

i say YES to all of that.

   

#pinning

i got a pinterest.

soo....yeah.

um. yes.

tests and toddlers

Fall break has arrived!!! 

finally.

i have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

because my mom and sister and her 2 kids are coming up.

i have the cutest niece and nephew in the whole world.

not joking.

just look at all the pictures i post.

fetch they are cute.

and i'm so excited to hang out with my mom and my sister!

i consider them to be my best friends.

i can not WAIT! 

they will be here in like half an hour.

aw! sister!

i took a test today. which sucked.

hard core.

yes, hard core.

it was awful.

good thing i somewhat studied last night.

Daddy's Girl

i'm a daddy's girl.

hence the title of this post.

it's true though.

i have been, and always will be.

when i was little i used to yell at my mom and tell her i hated her 

and that i only wanted dad.

things have definitely changed since then.

but...one thing hasn't.

i'm the favorite.

everyone knows it.

i'm the baby.

i'm a girl.

and i was adopted.

my dad's mom died of cancer before i was born.

i've always been told that i was my dad's gift from her.

me and my dad have always been close.

he's always spoiled me.

and not just with stuff.

with so much love.

i think i can count on one hand the number of times he's gotten mad at me.

he's always taken me places with him.

he's always taken my side. 

well...most of the time.

he's always been so understanding.

not a very great picture...

but this man has to be one the most selfless people i've ever known.

he rarely does something for himself.

he works non stop, just to give us a good life.

but, one of the greatest things about my dad is his love for humanitarian work.

he has been to south america 1 or 2 times.

and africa at least 4.

he is so willing to give.

he plans his whole year around Africa.

it's so important to him.

one time i asked him why it was so important.

he told me that God gave him the gift and ability to do dentistry,

so why should he not share his talents with people who truly need it.

isn't that so cool?

he is the best.

i miss him so much.

over the summer there was a few weekends where we just hung out.

we would go to dinner and a movie or just to run errands.

it was so fun.

i cherished every moment. 

he's gone a lot, because he commutes to Nevada once a week and is there for a couple days.

i don't see him that much.

so it was fun to have that time with him.

i'm so lucky to have such amazing parents.

whomp whomp.

i feel this overwhelming desire to blog.

but i have nothing really to blog about.

so...

i'll ramble.

i just took a test in biology and i don't think i did very well.

i felt like i completely understood the homework...

but not the test.

i hope i passed.

i got an email from my dad today.

he's in Africa and i was scared something had happened to him.

but, all is well.

i miss him.

but, i'm way excited for my mom and sister and niece and nephew to come up.

i am so freaking excited.

i tell everyone about it.

boys are stupid. i've been hanging out with a boy lately.

he's sending some seriously mixed signals.

which really suck.

i'd like to know whether he likes me or not.

but...i don't know if i ever will.

so if any boy is reading this i have some advice.

stop leading girls on.

if you like them, like them.

if you don't, then make that clear.

jeez.

it really makes girls feel like crap to me messed with.

i'll fight everyone.

but...there is one boy, in particular who is my favorite.

so, this is a shout out to my friend Steven.

i absolutely ADORE this boy.

i don't know what it is about him, but i want to be around him all the time.

he probably thinks i'm a big weirdy,

but i don't really care.

he's the sweetest. 

me and the roommates always talk about him and how cute he is.

i'm glad he's staying all year. 

that's the end for now.

i have to go to the stupid writing lab. i hope it does't take that long.

i'm not in the mood today.

i'm getting sick and i have a migraine. 

but, on the upside i have nothing to do today.

AND i was a big deb and wore sweats to school.

best idea i've ever had.

Teacup Tuesday

yeah, taco tuesday has officially been renamed.

we're having a tea party.

i have it all planned out...

sort of. 

it'll be way fun.

so, it might not be as legit as this...but it will be freaking SWEET.

and i decided that it's going to be british and super vintage.

gosh i'm way excited! 

i hope everything goes down the way i think it will.

which, things never do. 

but,

i'm going to be optimistic.

we're gunna play nice music and watch a scary movie after.

like The Birds.

jeez i'm so excited!!

i am not excited, however, to do my biology homework.

jeeeezzzzzzz.

Boys Boys Boys

so, the last couple weeks me and Haley have had some life chats.

Mostly based on people not wanting to go on missions, or spending their time getting ready to go.

it has hit me how important missions are and how defining they can be.

i've never really thought much about how hard it must be for them to go.

or how important it is for ME to marry an RM.

but, 

i've come to a few conclusions:

Missions are important.

Simple...but true.

yeah, its a commandment from a prophet.

and yeah, you're super required to go.

but, all boys should want to.

i feel like the benefits outweigh the costs. 

there is nothing you have at home that is worth staying for.

and going isn't even about you.

it's about being selfless and serving the Lord. 

I respect anyone that goes.

i cannot explain the respect i've gained for people who go.

one of my roommates has a boyfriend who

got his endowments early so he could be in the temple for his sister's wedding.

AND has been dating my roommate for 2 years, and is still going.

unfreaking real.

this kid is a serious inspiration.

i can't even explain the amount of respect i have for him.

he's so willing and excited to go.

his farewell is next sunday and i'm way sad.

he's going to be such a fantastic missionary.

Boys get cuter the more righteous they are.

so...semi off topic. but not really.

i absolutely LOVE hanging out with boys that are excited to go.

it makes the biggest difference in the way i act around them.

they make me want to be a better person, 

and they make me want to be worthy to hang out with them.

oh they're so freaking CUTE!

today we went and listened to Tanner speak in his ward.

it was so adorable.

he gave a really awesome talk.

and to top it off, he cried! 

it was so cute!! 

he talked about how he recognized how preparing to go on a mission was blessing his life.

the fact that he knows it wasn't just chance that he got his current job,

but that it was the Lord's hand made me realize how much i want to marry someone like that.

I love hanging out with RM's.

oh man. 

hanging out with them is so freaking fun.

i think one of the things i like about it is how respectful they are.

i really feel like they have so much respect for everyone.

and not only do they have respect, but they have this genuine love for everyone.

it's crazy to think that they learned that in 2 short years. 

the best is hearing their stories.

i can't get enough of the mission stories!

and you learn so much about them from their stories.

last weekend me and DJ talked about his mission to Ukraine for a long time.

we talked about all the gross stuff he ate.

and he told me this story where on his Pday his companion prayed for someone to meet and talk to between the store and their apartment, which was right across the street. DJ said he didn't really want to talk to anyone and that he just wanted to enjoy his Pday. 

then as they opened the door they stopped and talked to someone and he was baptized later.

and that's the end for right now.

in conclusion, i love missionaries and premies. 

i'm so thankful to have them in my life.

especially Tanner, Jaron, and all the boys at D2. 

i'm so blessed to have such good examples surrounding me!

and all you stupid boys who don't want to go on a mission...

STOP BEING IDIOTS.

GO ALREADY!

15 dollars well spent

So, 15 dollars later,

i'm happy with the cut.

i was really nervous cuz it looked so short at first!

but! i think it turned out way cute.

cuter than i thought it would.

it probably doesn't look that different....

but it's shorter and has more layers!

i think it'll look way different when i wash it.

but so far i'm happy.

and hopefully it'll grow fast!!

Hair

Me, Britt and Kaydee are going to go on an adventure today.

to get our hair cut.

i'm way way nervous.

what if they cut it way ugly?

or it's different lengths...

oh wait. 

just kidding Julie.

you're the best cosmetologist in the whole world.

and i would let you cut it, but,

desperate times call for desperate measures.

my hair is disgusting and need to be cut.

so, we're going all together to get it done.

Britt is at practice, so we didn't get a picture with her...

and i'm smiling like the biggest idiot.

Keebs

I woke up to a HeyTell this morning from my nephew saying:

"Hi Jenna, i miss you, byebye"

there is nothing i love more than to wake up to my niece or nephew.

even if it's just a HeyTell.

so, i'm dedicating this whole post to my favorite little boy.

This little guy was born on May 27th, 2008.

i feel in love with him the first second i saw him.

i called him Keebs.

cuz his ears were so big and he looked like a little Keebler elf.

These are his 1 year old pictures.

oh he's the cutest!

he loved me.

he called me Nenna.

it was a sad day when he could say his J's.

oh i love this boy so much.

it has been so fun watching him grow up.

i think the funnest thing has been to watch him learn.

he is so smart.

it amazes me.

the things he says sometimes just catch me off guard.

he's so silly. and such a joy in my life.

i'm so thankful for him.

i love telling all of my friends about all the funny things he says.

like when he would say "BUUUTTTBAALLL"

instead of football.

or when he would go TOUCHDOWN!

or when we were driving in the car and he looks at me and said 

"Jenna, what's your favorite animal?"

i said "a cat, what's your favorite animal?"

"um...i don't know. MOM! WHAT'S MY FAVORITE ANIMAL?"

Julie said "it's a zebra, Crew."

he turns and looks at me "It's a zebra Jenna."

or that day i was teasing him and he hit me and looks at his mom and says 

"mom, i'm angry today."

or the time i was babysitting and Jada and Loni and i took them to Chic-Fil-A and the park,

as i was driving away to go to dance he opens the door that goes out to the garage

and as i'm getting in my car he yells

"Jenna!! i love you! drive safe!"

then he shuts the door.

he opens it again and yells

"Jenna! i love you! thank you for taking me to the Cow Store and the park!"

there's never a dull moment with him.

he's hyper.

he's so funny.

he's the sweetest.

he loves me.

and i love him.

i'm so excited to see him grow up.

i hope i can be there whenever he needs me.

i want to be the fun aunt that takes him to the zoo.

i want to be the aunt he wants to hang out with.

i'm so grateful for him in my life.

he's has the best parents too.

he's gunna grow up to be the biggest lady killer.

he's gunna be the most popular kid in school,

the kid that everyone loves,

the one kid with the most contagious personality.

So, Crewzer.

i love you.

i'm so glad you came to our family.

we are so blessed to have you.

you are the sweetest little boy in the whole world.

i love you so very very much.

you're my little snuggles.

i miss you!

New Week=New Me.

Since moving up to college i have lost weight.

weird huh?

but...this can only last so long.

especially since, as Mallory pointed out, i ate out a grand total of 18 times in the last like 9 days.

that's just embarrassing.

and getting out of hand.

So.

Starting today i will:

stop eating out. (unless it's a special occasion)

start making meals.

stop snacking on crap.

drink more water.

eat more fruits and vegetables (when they're not too expensive)

see!! look at me.

eating my celery and peanut butter (Haley hasn't killed me...yet.)

i had some yummy pasta with read sauce and mozzarella

some home made bread with home made jam 

and a diet coke.

the water thing is gunna be hard.

Inspirational

for my second post of the day.....

i saw this quote somewhere and had to blog it!

"Talking about art is like dancing about architecture"

right?!?!

Longest Post EVER.

I just imported my pictures from the last week...

so this will be a summary.

first off is the USU vs. BYU game.

Me and Haley's boyfriend, Mike, went on a date.

well...sort of. 

Haley was babysitting, so it was just me and him.

way way fun.

i seriously had the best time!

the drive down took FOREVER.

the traffic was awful from Logan to Salt lake, then it was awful from the point of the mountain on.

we finally got there.

then we were both starving and blind with hunger, 

so we stopped at the first thing we saw.

i got a polish dog and a DC,

Mike got a hot dog, chips, a pulled pork sandwich and milk duds.

nice. we walked around the WHOLE stadium looking for our seats. 

we finally found them and sat behind a nice big man.

i had no leg room.

we had a lovely time making fun of pretty much everything.

like the "Smile Cam" and the SONIC 3RD DOWN!!!

cuz everyone gets way thirsty at the 3rd down.

Mike got some way good blue powerade

and then got hit on by the girl next to us.

the team lost in the last 30 seconds.

literally.

BYU had some awesome passes.

so it was ok.

we left and started driving home.

we took Kaydee and her friend to their apartment

then an hour and a half later, we got on the freeway.

then we were hungry again, so we went to Denny's.

way funny.

Mike farted in front of me. so now we're bros.

it was such a fun night!

Saturday i woke up and went and visited Julie.

she was babysitting these 4 girls who love me.

and i love them.

we played for a bit then went on a golf cart ride!

in their BYU golf cart...while i was wearing my Utah shirt.

nice.

i love my family.

it was so good to see them!

after i hung out with them me and my dad went to the Utah game.

rough times.

we left early and i hung out with Loni.

we went to Chili's and got 2 appetizers.

which took like 4 years.

we got their at like 8:30 and left at 10:15.

stupid waitress.

she didn't get tipped very well.

then we went to Target.

i miss Target.

it's so much better than walmart!

then we put my groceries away and went to her house.

we got in the hot tub for like 5 minutes.

then we watched the extras on the Bridesmaids dvd.

so hilarious.

then i went home.

then it was conference. good times.

my mom made me a homemade cake!

it was nice to come back to Logan though.

except the stuff we brought literally doubled. it took us like 3 trips back and forth to get everything.

Monday i took Haley on a date to Olive Garden.

i had a gift card and i was so hungry.

so we went on a date.

it was so yummy! 

and we had the most fantastic waiter.

so flaming...but so fantastic.

plus Haley tried Chicken Parm...2 foods touching...

and she LIKED IT!!!! 

Monday was also Britt's birthday.

i tried to make her a Barbie cake...but it failed epically.

so we bought her a lady bug cake.

it was the cutest. a bunch of people came for her party.

then everyone left.

so me and Haley and Mike and Kyle went to McDonalds.

then we came back to L4 and played N64.

i wrecked at Smashbros.

then we played Mario Party.

Kyle won...and Mike was in a bad mood.

then Kyle played the keyboard for us and i almost wet my pants.

i wish we would have recorded it.

it was the funniest thing he's ever done.

Tuesday was a whomp whomp day i think.

i got my eyelashes done again.

then we went to Costa Vida.

then Haley slept while Mike and I played Smashbros again. at 100 lives.

way way funny.

i don't even remember who won.

then we had tacos.

then i hung out with Brie and we went all over the place.

i met her grandma. she's a sweetie.

D2 invited us to watched Tangled with them.

but it was a bunch of couples.

so we tapped out.

i don't even remember what we did after.

Then Austin came over and we got a frosty.

then we watched Modern Family.

then me and Haley went to McDonalds...only cuz Wendy's isn't open after Midnight.

Wednesday we went to Chili's for Britt and Jaron's birthdays.

Me, Britt, Jaron,Kaydee,Brie,Tanner,Haley

Way funny night. jeez louise it was so funny.

Sperm?

Tanner crawling under the table

then we went to D2 and watched Easy A.

Johny got offended.

haha.

then Steven came home and we talked.

everyone left and i stayed and talked to him and Johny and Ryan.

the Brie came and talked to us too.

we all cuddled.

it was nice.

we helped Steven with his woman issues.

Thursday was a winner day.

went to Bio. then i went to Haley's class...

then she went to mine.

then Haley went with Mike to do something.

i showered.

then Kayd came over.

then we went to Mike, Kyle and Quinn's flag football game.

Well. we had a hard time looking cute.

especially since it was FRIGID.

Their team lost.

the other team was a bunch of tools.

TEAM TOOL!!!!

then came home and were gunna go to SI.

whomp whomp.

i helped Steven take the trash out.

so did Kayd and Haley.

Britt and Brie were having a "chat".

we went over to D2 and hung out for a bit.

then we went and got hot chocolate at the Sev.

BEST IDEA EVER.

it was way good.

we also got Wendy's....cuz we were hungry.

but then we were full of chocolate when we got back...

so Steven ate the rest of my food.

Then Brie left to go home...and we talked for a bit.

she was sad.

then she left and i went back to D2.

me and Kayd talked to them while they got ready for their romance night.

Steve was having a girl over for her birthday and they were setting Ryan up with their friend.

(it didn't turn out as well as they would have hoped)

While they were romancing i was gunna write my paper.

then Britt and Jaron and Tanner were going to Jaron's to watch 17 Miracles. 

couldn't pass that up.

Jaron's house was way way way nice.

plus he has KITTIES!!!!!

we went to the barn and i held them.

it was the best!!!

except that Tanner was doing stupid cougar noises.

we watched the movie and we all sobbed through the whole thing.

except for Jaron.

he doesn't cry.

that movie is the best.

good times.

Friday after class i hung out with Kayd cuz Haley was with Mike.

Strauss, DJ and Saul all came up and hung out.

it was way fun.

we partied at the house.

then we went to Walmart.

then made food.

me and DJ had a nice chat about missions.

he's the greatest.

Strauss and Saul went to the store to get heavy cream...

and they came home with a Bieber cake,

which they proceeded to smash DJ's face in.

i made some way good enchiladas. 

then we tried to find something to do.

Kayd came over and me and Mike went with her to pick up Dustin.

it was way far away.

turns out it was an institute party.

had no idea.

Kayd and Dustin romanced and me and Mike talked to Steven.

we went to find Kayd and found everyone trying to slackline.

so stupid.

everyone had fun i guess.

then we decided to leave.

we crammed 8 people in a 5 seater car.

tiny little Kayd was driving.

Dustin and Mitch were in the front seat.

Steven, Me, Seth and Mike were in the back with Johny laying on top of us.

all the sudden i feel this vibration on my leg.

turns out Johny farted.

on me.

literally.

it smelled SO bad.

and no one would roll down the window.

then he farted on me like 3 more times.

it was so funny.

we were going to join Haley and Britt and Strauss and them on a scavenger hunt,

but Haley said they were out of ideas.

so they were going home.

so we went back and unloaded.

then Strauss, Dj and Saul showed up like 10 minutes after we did.

looking like this.

pretty scary.

then Britt, Jaron, Haley and Tanner showed up.

we all talked for a bit.

then Steven and I went to take a picture of those 3 on the bull.

i have no idea what was happening.

and that's Mike for ya.

we walked back and everyone was watching Newsies.

so we watched it with them.

Steven fell asleep on me, cuz i'm way nice and gave him a head massage.

it ended up being Britt and Jaron, Haley and Mike, Me, Steven and Tanner.

the movie turned off, and the lights too.

so we were all sitting in the dark.

as the lights turn off i say

"this feels right."

and everyone got WAY awkward.

so funny.

we all talked for a long time.

Steve went home and Britt took Jaron home.

so me and Tanner were talking and he was doing his funny voices for me.

i was crying it was so funny!!

oh man.

i love him.

he's the greatest.

he can do the funniest noises.

he left.

then Me, Mike and Haley went to Subway.

at 2.

it's fine.

i looked SO FAT.

i had sweats on, fuzzy socks that gave me cankles, a hoodie, then my Foxy Lady sweatshirt on.

Mike told me i looked like a Titan.

it was so funny.

we were all so delusional.

hilarious.

me and Mike are such bros.

he went home.

then we went to sleep.

woke up at 1.

then we went to Chic-Fil-A.

for breakfast.

yum!

we came home, Haley showered and i did my homework!

then we got ready and walked over to the game with Lynds.

some creeper guy talked to us.

he hit on Lyndsey.

and me.

and made Haley take a picture of us with him.

he had a huge boner.

literally.

and he kept messing with it.

SO GROSS. i was shaking.

Mike and Kyle show up and Haley is talking to Mike and Lyndsey pulls Kyle over and is like

"this is my boyfriend Kyle."

i'm sitting there with this creeper guy right next to me with his boner everywhere...

and i don't even have a fake boyfriend.

i was shaking harder. 

then creeper guy got up and left.

THANK YOU.

we watched the game.

Lynds went and stood by Sarah and Kayd came and stood by us.

i had a huge headache, so 3rd quarter we went and stood at the end by Lynds.

we were winning by like 40.

so it was a pretty boring game.

Steven stood by us for the last little bit.

then we went to Village Inn.

it was a big group.

Me, Haley, Kayd, Lynds, Steve, Mike, Sarah James, Angie, Rachel and Mitch.

so funny.

Mike had his Thuggie on.

we're bros.

we went back and Haley made quesadillas for everyone.

we played Smashbros again and i won a few times.

then we watched The Last Holiday.

not the impressed with that movie.

then me and Steven took everyone home.

then i went to sleep.

good week.

i'm happy i didn't go to Africa. 

is that awful?
