Awsome and Awkward Thursday!

AWKWARD!
Having old men hit on you so that you will give them an extra cookie- kinda fun though I wonder if I gave them 2 extra cookies if they would shake or sit for me.... hmmm

Telling a boy employee that it his turn to clean out the tampon box, oh sorry excuse me the sanitary napkin box.

Flamboyantly raising my hand to answer a question in Institute, then realizing it is rhetorical...whoops what do you mean you don't wanna know about my private and personal life? my bad

Going to the gym and then seeing a guy that you used to sorta date, and not wanting to talk to him so then you hid from the guy by switching to a machine that is in the corner... then he totally catching you in the act of dodging him, not my finest moment


AWESOME!

Although those old men hit on me to get a cookie, they still tell me " Gee your a cute little thing!" Being called cute is always awesome

Finding out that the $1500 scholarship you received works for HAIR SCHOOL! Yippie!

Jumping on the tramp and playing Uno with my nieces and nephew

Being on TV!!!! more like I was just exercising in the background while the girl said great things about the gym I go to... but hey its still tv! and then receiving a FREE smoothie for being willing to be on TV


For those who dont know Awesome and Awkward started by this blog and well I love it! so there was my inspiration

oh the Love of Idaho!

So my family thinks I have this whole hate rep on Idaho, so me being the always right younger sibling I am writing to prove them wrong. So I am going to dedicate this post on the things I love and the oh so slightly annoyingfrustratingandaggitating things that I dislike about Idaho.

Slightly Dislike

• The awful manure smell that seems to stay for months at a time during harvest
• The Idaho hair poof (for all those girls that like square shaped heads and pricey jeans)
• That small town means news travels fast, don't screw up in this town cause everyone will know about it by the end of the night.
• The social scene, ya it probably kept me out of trouble in high school but now being a single adult the scene is dry... very dry.

LOVE!

• I love the country part of Idaho, call me a hick... its okay because I love that I can go bike riding on ditch banks, or that I grew up swimming in the canal (for all those city folk out there that is basically the ditch the farmers use to irrigate their farms).
  
• I love that I spent my childhood barefoot- seriously though talk about calused feet!
  
• I love that everyone is so friendly and not a day goes by that a stranger doesn't wave to me driving down the road.
• I love the amazing people here- so loving! I feel like I have a million cheerleaders rooting for me to do well in life.
• I love the crickets outside and that my dog could always roam around with me.
• I love that I am surrounded by a river and mountain ranges- all fun to play on! Activities range from boating, snowmobiling, sledding, tubing, rafting, swimming, hiking, and of course skiing.
• Lastly I love seeing the amazing sunsets every night and then seeing all the stars right after!

Most arguments against small towns are that they are uncultured. Did I grow up going to the art exhibit or newest museum or touring the local zoo. Nope I never did any of that. Never did I go to a rock concert or the local club.
But I did grow up singing songs while hoeing the beat fields, helping my brother milk cows, and spending most days playing boardgames with my family. Lucky me I grew up learning the value of hard work while cementing close relationships with my wonderful family. Sorry city folk but I think I got the better end of the deal ;)

A Glorious Wedding

So hair school- big whoop right, why else haven't I been writing. Well a lot those reasons are because of my wonderful family, and can I just say I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have the best family. Anywho....

My big brother ( aka my partner in crime growing up) and my best friend ( girl who stole my identity) got hitched!! Thats right- best friend and big brother, how lucky am I!! Not a lot of people can say that their best friend married into their family- the only downside to this destined duo is that well my best friend's name is Melissa- and as you guessed it, the world now has two Melisa/ssa Monroes- who knew there was room for another one :)

May 6 was such a wonderful day- full of love and a good ol' dose of stress caused by doing the brides hair, pickup up family members, getting the flowers, parking tickets, and of course watching 10 kids ( three of them being less then 1 years old) at the temple grounds. But oh it was worth it when the couple stepped out of the temple and their eyes gleaming of honest and true love ( which, if your around for a while it gets kinda nauseating). Well the day followed with pictures, videos, and lots of hugs and kisses- between the bride and groom.


They are now living in Illinois for the summer and let me tell you it has been hard to not see them. Melissa and I are very close, and well all three of us share jokes that not everyone else thinks is funny. I know that from personal experience. Its definitely hard not to have Melissa ten steps away- and I find myself missing the both of them quite a bit.

I don't know if I can express the happiness I feel for my brother and friend. They have such a fun spirit about them- both of them can make me giggle at moments notice. They have found something special, something real- and well it brings me such joy to see them together.

Congrats Jordan and Melissa- I sure love you!

Switching things up

So I first started this blog- as I said a spiritual blog, and I fully intend on talking about spiritual things, but I also love writing so thus I have decided to switch things up- this blog is going to be about me and well my life and express a lot of the crazy thoughts to which I think:

and let me tell you- they are random, crazy, and mostly funny thoughts

So welcome- welcome to my life

Its been a while....

So, Hello there once again- I am sorry I have not written or updated this blog, and I promise its not because I got horribly injured- sadly my oh so very pathetic excuse to not writing is because... ready... duh dut dada... I have been BUSY!
Finals, moving, working, and well family matters have all kept me from writing- well don't fret because I am back and wow has my life changed a lot in the last couple of months.
Update-
I passed all of my finals with flying colors- as well as getting a pretty good GPA at BYU, and well you know what I did with that great sense of accomplishment of conquering BYU ( well sorta, cause its not like I graduated) yup that's right people- I changed schools. Well more like I am going to hair school- Taylor Andrews Academy to be exact. What brought on this change you might ask- well a lot of things really. I have always loved doing hair and have been really passionate about it, and it wasn't until I went to college that I realized that I really had a knack for it. But before I could make the big leap to going to hair school I had to do/realize a lot of things.
First, I had to go to college. I had to prove to myself that I could do college, that with my hard work that I could get good grades and be successful in it. Second, I had to realize that I really was good at hair- that I had a hidden talent. And well last- I had to realize that I was not stupid or shorting myself by going to hair school. So after all happened I started researching. Figuring out tuition, expenses, hiring rates, rating schools, and basically just seeing if it was even possible, and guess what... it is :) I ended up finding a huge scholarship- 1/2 tuition ( $ 8,000 ) for this school and well everything, and I mean EVERYTHING fell into place. I am going to a very pristine and high class place that has all good programs that I want as well as good people. I am so excited. So ready to do what I really want and not look back at what people say or think- cause well I am doing this for me and for my future and I am SOOO excited to jump- not leap into this new adventure.
