Girls Night?

After Saturday afternoon session of conference dawn mom and i go out for a girls night while all the guys go to Priesthood session. Well, it didn't work out that well because mom had to go to a speech and debate competition. SO it was just me and dawn... and we were both EXTREMELY tired and not to into the whole girls night really that night. But we decided to go anyway. We went to Serrano's for dinner because dawn was really craving Mexican food. I wasn't really hungry because i had eaten at Jacobs about 20 min before she had come over. So i went along for the chips and salsa. When we got there.. this is how many people were in the restaurant.
aka... none! it was pretty much just me and dawn... there were a couple but for the most part, we were the only ones. So.... i busted out my camera... ok not really i took one of her and then one of me... the end of my busting.

i know she really hates me for posting this... but i had to. It was the only picture i had from the night... and did you see that really cute one of me on her page. I just had to match it.

Wow. i didn't even know i could look that cute!..... wait!!

So the night, well 30 min we were there, was coming to the end, and i looked down and realized that while i was just eating my beans, salsa, and chips i had been pulling apart and tarring my straw wraper. And... i had made them all the same size without thinking about it. It was quite weird.
After our "girls night" we drove back to my house and that was the end of it. Dawn left and i went and hung out with some friends.

Conference Candy and... over weight stick people?

Our family always has candy for conference... but this time jonathan and i got to pick the candy! And we might have gone a little over board. haha. Dad made breakfast, we had eggs, bacon, and waffles (homemade may i add) and it was really good. Then 5 min before conference was supposed to start dad realized that he forgot the candy!!! so he gave me and jonathan each 5 dollars and we drove across the street to Fry's... and this is what happend. haha. we got: skittles, pumkins, mike-n-ikes, peanut butter m&m's, sour watermelon slices, and lafy taffy... and we had pretzles, and animal crackers! SO now we are pretty much on a sugar high and completely sick! but it is still fun!

------------------------------------------

You can't quite tell what this is a picture of... so you know on the back of mini vans how it has the skinny family? Ok so dawn and i were going out for girls night while the boys were all at Priesthood session and we were driving out to go to dinner at seranos and we drove behind this... haha... it is one of those stick on families. But they are all fat... ha. I couldn't stop laughing and neither one of us had brought our camera's because we both looked... not so cute. SO i had dawn take a picture with my phone. I still think it is so funny!

My Busy Schedual!!

Ya i know i know! i haven't posted in a really long time. My sister ally called me and told me i had to post a new story because it was no longer fun to look at my gross ankle. And the fact that is says updated is a lie! And Deanna agreed. I kind of like looking at that picture. Not really actually. It makes me sad. But it is getting better. It isn't purple and blue anymore. To be completely honest those pictures weren't even the worst. It got nasty looking, and my whole foot started turning green, purple, and dark blue. And i don't think that is normal. It is better now though, still a little swollen and sore, but better.
I have just been REALLY busy lately that's the real reason i haven't written. Like my later post i explained how crazy my schedule was going to get. And it did! FUN but CRAZY! let me tell ya.
1. The musical is going great! i hate technology though, i tried to post a video of the dancing, but it wont work. I will have to find someway to get something on. Either picture, or video of rehearsals and me teaching. I have to say that choreographing is SO stressful!! I couldn't think of anything for while, and then everything i did think of seemed stupid to me, so each idea and dance changed about 10 times before i actually taught it, and even then it gets changed a little bit. But it is VERY rewarding. I think it is so cool to sit back and watch what i have created. I guess this is what mom feels like every time she is directing a show. Stress!!! no sleep!!! yet rewarding, and satisfying!! Ü
2.work... i am still learning things EVERY single day. I don't think there is ever a dull moment. The phone is always ringing off the hook! I am getting more familiar with the different people. ok humiliating story... so there are two women that work in the same office as me, Joanne (who leaves at 2, around when i get there) and Gaylene, she works in the back, and answers all my questions (sometimes i feel stupid when i have to talk to her, because some questions are nobrainers but i don't realize it until after i ask). Well, one of the providers had called and asked if either Joanne or Gaylene were there? I forgot who was who, and accidentally said Gaylene wasn't there when in reality it was Joanne, Gaylene turned to me and says, Michelle i am Gaylene... I felt like such a doofus!! She laughed and i immediately wrote myself a note so it wouldn't happen again. And the providers (counselors) like to play tricks on me and tell me different names. Well in the beginning they did. So i learned really quick who was who... ha ha. I have also gotten better at remembering things. I'm not such an air head anymore. I can actually say that (yahoo for me!!) ha ha!!! I remember names and faces of patients, which i have never ever been able to do before. It is because the worst thing is when people come in and don't say their name obviously expecting me to already know who they are, and then when i have to ask, because i see about 20 new faces everyday, it seems as though they are disappointed. So i decided to learn them... hard, but i will do it!
3.school... is really good. I got a paper back from English today and it had a 95/100 on it. So i am having a good day so far. I'm actually at school right now. I don't have a class from 10:50-12:00 so i come to the library and either do homework (which i obviously don't have) check email, check out peoples blogs, or write posts. Or all of the above. But really school it going great! I love it, and i have wonderful teachers! I don't really have much homework, so it works with my busy schedule... thank goodness!
4. Christian dance... i have practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, and later in the months more toward the performance, i will be practicing Thursday nights too. Because i am one of the 3 wise man. I am way excited! The performances are December 15th at mesa high, and December 18th at the temple. Fun stuff!
5. Jacob... when I'm not at school, work, piano, doing homework, choreographing, or driving. I am with Jacob. Its been really fun! I love it. He keeps me grounded so i don't snap because of all the things i am doing. And it has worked so far i haven't cracked yet. Ha ha cute story. So i was talking to Tre last night (my nephew) and i asked how he was and stuff, and he says "good, i went to a farm, and i saw turkeys, pigs, cows, and horses" and yes i can understand every word he says. He also tells me how he got a new bunk bed and is a big boy because he sleeps on the top, and has to climb a latter to get up there. (he is so cute) than i hear Deanna say something and then tre says "How's your honey Shel? Is he good?" it was the cutest thing! I couldn't stop smiling, i loved it!
OK so i have to go to class now, but ya that is basically my life, and i through in some parties every once in a while, or just do crazy stuff as an adult/Teenager. Are you happy Ally? Now you have something else to read! ha ha. But those pictures and videos of "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown." Its awesome and way way fun!!!

updates





these are pictures i took around noon today... they're really cool! My ankle has become really deformed. haha. I think the colors look good! Battle wounds (too bad there wasn't a battle)

ADDICTED!!!!!!!


Im addicted to animal crackers.... i guess there could be a lot worse things to get addicted to, but it is bad. So mom bought one of those huge boxes from sams club. i mean the big ones! Well she bought them on Wednesday and they are almost gone! and it's sunday! I seriously eat them everywhere. They are the yummiest things ever, i take a bag with me to work. And i munch on them the whole time i am there. Then i come home get the box sit down with dad in front of the tv and i eat them. Good thing they aren't bad for me (well i mean harmful) or i would be in BIG trouble! haha!

Jumping off a Building?!


I couldn't walk this morning, so getting ready was a real adventure. I got off my bed, and sat on the ground. Then i proceded to scoot along the ground on my butt to my mirror in the corner of my room. So i could do my hair and put on my make up. Then I crawled to my closet to get my skirt and shirt. After getting all ready i had to figure out what i was doing about church. Dad suggested me sitting in the wheel chair, but i refused so i had to go to church with my stupid crutches! We were 10 min late (of course, but this time it was becasue of me, i couldn't get around fast enough.) so i swung in on crutches having everyone stare at me wondering what happened, and i knew once the closing prayer was said and everyone said "amen" i was in for a lot of questioning. I think i said "i sprained my ankle" at least 40 times. Then i started making up cool story's like "oh they were teaching me how to do a back flip and i over rotated and fell..." then when i was by sarah merkley and people would ask she would say "Jacob did it" then we would all laugh and i would tell them for real. But my favorite answer was the one jacob would give. They would ask, "oh my goodness michelle, what happened to your foot are you ok?" jacobs answer was "Oh we were hanging out friday night and she decided to go and do a back flip off the building, she landed to hard and almost broke it, she's really lucky she didn't!" haha. I just loved the look on their faces when he answered! But i am pretty sure that everyone in the ward knows i hurt my ankle.
When sunday school was over and Bro. Lindblom was asking someone to say the closing prayer he said "Jacob will you say the closing prayer? i would ask michelle but she is hobbling to much." haha hobbling?! Who says that? so from then on every one of the guys made fun of me by saying "Hey hows the 'hobbling' coming along?" it was actually really funny to be honest.
