For my sociology class I have to write a paper on something that is popular in the world right now, and how it effects the person using it. I decided to write it on Facebook. I'm using myself on the subject and I am not using Facebook for a whole week to study and realize how much i use facebook and what I can done and accomplish without being on it. So for this week starting today October 24 to October 31 I will not get on it. I think that it will be interesting to document on here since facebook is part of my daily routine.

My best friends!!!
Lauren Katie Bird.
This girl is my life. She knows literally everything about me. She knows the big things in my life like my strengths, weaknesses, past, things i regret. Also the random little things like she knows exactly what i'd order off of any menu any place. This girl has always been my go to friend for so many years now. Yes, of course we had a huge fight my Sophomore year where we never talked and spread rumors about each other. It got bad. She told people i was pregnant!!! I know and we're still besties. We got over that dumb fight, and I'm so glad. This lady has helped me with so many things the past few years. Especially recently with college. We always joke that Katie was sent to Earth a year earlier than me so she could experience things a year ahead so she will have the perfect advice for me when I'm going through those situations a year later. She always gives me good advice. She just tells me how it is. Which is hard for me to take a lot of the time, but i know its what I need to hear. Not want to here. Its a big difference.
We have these great necklaces that have a pea pod and two peas in it. And then there is a charm that says two peas in a pod. Which describes us perfectly. We are so alike its creepy. We finish each other's sentences all the dang time. Also we ALWAYS have to back each up. Like if I was to say "its really cold" Katie would automatically say something like "definitely" we just like to make each other feel confident in our words:) Katie and I have so many stories that we will bore our children with one day. I love it. I love her. She's the best. I'm glad that I have her.
Morgan Adams.
Ohhh Morgano. There is so much to say about this girl! Like the fact that I met her in the seventh grade and I hated her with a major passion. We had choir together and I never talked to her, but I thought she was the biggest bih in the word! Next year in the 8th grade we became friends and we discussed how we both thought the same things about each other. I was definitley wrong and I feel bad that I pre judged her! Morgan is SO funny. always making me laugh. Seriously i don't know where she comes up with this stuff. We are roomies at Snow and every day is a new adventure with us. Some days I just want to rip her hair out and scream at her, but more often than that I love her and I'm so glad that we are experiencing it together.
Morgs and I always get in these intense chat about life with out even meaning to. We have the same opinions about a lot of things, which is something that makes me very happy.

Senior year morgs and i were inseparable. We both hated that place more than anything. I could have never made it out alive with out her by my side. On graduation day we were right there sitting next to each other cheering each other on. I love this girl :)
When morgan and I sing together its beautiful. She is an amazing soprano and I sing alto and together it sounds so beautiful. Or at least we think so:) We make crazy music videos together to Taylor swift songs and such. And the Karlee beast, ohhh my. You just have to experience that on your own. I love Morgan Adams. :)

19th Birthday!
Today 19 years ago I came into this crazy world. Today has been a pretty good birthday so far. I have some amazing roommates that have made it really good. Morgan baked me a cake that was delicious:) Its been very different being away from home, and my family today though. Kind of emotional actually. I know that they love me, and that this is where I need to be right now, but that still doesn't make this day any easier. I feel as if today is just any other ordinary day. I do have to thank my friends though for being so sweet and kind. Like Katie...I think that she has been more excited for this day than me. She called me at exactly midnight and sang Happy Birthday to me Oakcrest style. It was hilarious:) She sent me a card that was just about the highlight of my day. Its good to know that not everyone has forgot about me while I'm here. Don't get me wrong I have had a pretty good day, its just different from what I'm used to and its hard to adjust. I'm very grateful for my family and friends :)

Fall Break!!!!
Wow I have needed this break so much! It couldn't of came at a better time! I left Ephraim on Tuesady after my Math test (which I'm pretty positive I bombed it) I was so excited to spend a few days in West Jordan with my family and friends. This week has been pretty exciting!!!! Tuesday night Katie slept over at my house and we stayed up talking until 3am and then we decided that we just were not tired so we decided to see what people of walmart are doing at this time. We also came to the conclusion that people are a lot more happy to be working at 3am which in my opinion is rather odd. Then we came back to my house and watched Laguna Beach! We decided we love that show!
Wednesday Katie and I went to get my car registered. and $209.50 later my car was registered. RIDICULOUS huh? Then That night Katie and I carved pumpkins! It was so fun!
Thursday I went to the zoo with Dave. This was really fun! I hadn't been there in so long!n I personally loved the giraffes and thought the monkeys were creepy. After the zoo we went to subway and i had the most delicious subway club ever! Then later Katie, Connor, Morgan and me watched Date Night. It was a weird movie but i enjoyed it.
Then today I went to Katie's for a bit and had some panda and played with her niece Kaylie, now I'm just waiting to make cookies with my dad!
Fall break has been great! And its not even over yet! :)

Conference weekend.
This weekend I made the decision to come home so that I could watch conference at home with my family. I also was in desperate need of a break from Snow. I am very glad that I came home this weekend. Whenever I am gone from my family for long periods of time and come home I always feel so grateful for my mom. She does so much for me that I never realized until I left home. I love not worrying about whats for dinner. Something so simple that i never fully appreciated. I LOVE my mamma's home cooked meals. They are so good! She cooked some Delicious chili for my ward's chili cook-off Friday night, and some very very good ravioli things for dinner Saturday night. I appreciate my mom so much! I love that she does my laundry for me when I come home, its also an extra reason to come home!
I also come home to see Katie. I always get so excited on Fridays when I'm coming home to see her. Sometimes I consider going straight to her house just so I can get my best friend hug from her. I know i have not wrote much about her, but she really is the most amazing friend i could have ever asked for. She is so understanding, caring, and just down right amazing. This weekend we just hung out and did a lot of pointless random things, but I'm so glad that I was here to be with her!
On Friday night I went to nightmare on 13Th with some girls that are in my ward. I was extremely scared to go, just the name itself is enough to scare me away, but i faced my fear and decided that i just need to see what all the hype was about. Well, after about an hour into it we were finished, and i walked away very happy that I went. It was scary, but nothing too horrible. I have been more scared walking in my basement alone, at night in the dark before. I am glad I went though, the girls i went with are always great to be around!
Saturday night Katie, Curtis and me sat on Curtis' driveway and just talked, of course Curtis was insulting us like he always does, but something was just different this time. I could tell that we were all older and more mature. I know this sounds ridiculous but it just all seems so different. I was thinking back to the days when we were 12 and sitting in the same spot, discussing simple everyday things no we were talking about big, huge life changing decisions. I am so glad that I have these 2 amazing people in my life for so long. Curtis and I decided that we should name a star as our "best friend star" so when he is on his mission and I am on mine we can look up at it and know that we are still best friends. (cheesy right?) well this was complicated because we couldn't see many stars here in the w. j. so Curtis got this way cool AP on his phone that shows all the stars if you point it in the sky. We ended up deciding that Mercury was going to be our planet, instead of star. He is so funny..sometimes:)
Anyways, this weekend has been just what I needed. Conference has been great and super uplifting. I can't wait to hear two more sessions tomorrow!
