Another Crazy Week

Well this week has been a crazy one.  It started with coming home from Utah with homework to still do and registration for classes at 6 am and class at 8.  So needless to say I didn't sleep much at all, story of my life this week actually haha.  


Tracy and I's Adventures:
*Monday Night it was raining a ton so me and Tracy went out and played in the rain.  We ended up playing with her old room mates Tiffany and Amber and my friend Michelle.  It was super fun especially when we got in a water fight with some guys from apt. 15.
*So a few weeks ago Tracy and I decided that instead of buying bread every week that we would just make bread for ourselves.  So at least once a week Tracy and I make bread.  
*Wednesday Tracy and I made brownies for Brad because he had helped me with my paper a few weeks back, it was mentioned in my blog, and I got 100% on it. That night was pretty fun because brad and all of his roommates weren't there except for one but he was leaving. But after calling brad he told us to just stay there. So we chilled in apt 15 and I gave Tracy a back massage.  When they got back Jared, Brad's roommate, wanted a massage too so I gave him a neck and shoulder massage for a while and we got to talk some, which was fun.  While that was happening Tracy and Brad left me there to go get a movie... a little weird but it's wasn't too bad. But we ended up watching country strong.  It's pretty good. 
*Friday I again tried to do homework, with out much progress.  So Tracy, Brad, and I went down to Idaho Falls to go to JoAnn's and the mall before we needed to pick some people up.
*This week we also reserved and picked up our first bountiful basket!!! It was pretty amazing as you can see. 

Weekend Bliss:

*This weekend ended up being super fantastic!  Two of my favorite people, Alyssa and Amy drove up to Rexburg and we had a blast. 

*It was so fun having Alyssa and Amy up here!  We ate dinner, I made home hamburgers, and then did a little shopping and got ice cream.  

*Friday nigh Moom and Kennedy wanted to make a fort so we decided to make a fort/canopy across the living room.  It was super exciting. So we slept in there as well as played catch phrase. Then as we were going to bed we turned on a movie but I fell asleep.

This is a little dark, but it's all of us under our fort in the living room.

*Saturday consisted of writing my paper, making banana pancakes, showing Alyssa and Amy campus and a trip to Craigo's.  We love Craigo's!

*Then to finish it off we watched Kate and Leopold under our fort. 
*After Brad left on Saturday we decided to "message" his apartment with our blinds.  It was hilarious!!!  It turned into flicking our lights at each other and then just yelling across the parking lot.  It was super funny and probably the good new minute of the day for everyone.  We had a ton of fun and giggles.  
*Then we all slept out in the living room again, falling asleep to Ever After.  It was just fantastic. (And we almost slept through church)
*And to finish the weekend off Sunday after Church and a good nap we watched the season 3 premier of *Drop Dead Diva and Miss U.S.A 2011. The redhead from California won!!! Her dress was my favorite. :)


Our Seventh Roommate:
Enter Julie Hirschi!

This is our pigtail night :)
From Right to Left:  Callie Jo, Alane and Julie.

Julie is one of my favorite friends and she is over here all the time.  We have had a few sleep overs up until this point in time but for the last five or so days she has just been sleeping at our apartment and she just slowly keeps bring her stuff to our apartment.
The first night she stayed over was Thursday. She slept in between Alane and I's beds.  And that was probably one of the funniest nights of my life. In short we were up until at least 3:30 talking and laughing our heads off.  It was fantastic!  Love you Julie!

6 Times a Bridesmaid

So this last weekend I had the wonderful experience of being a bridesmaid of one of my beautiful friends.  Having five older sister this made it my sixth time being a bridesmaid!  Yes I am definitely on my way to becoming like the girl on 27 Dresses. But anyhow, this time being a bridesmaid was way more legit.  That's probably because I am older and I wasn't family.  I was very happy to be able to help out and be a part of Emily and Chris's special day.

My first task was to make my skirt.  It turned out fairly well I felt like.  Except for the zipper was a little difficult, so the fabric stretched a little bit.  I can't take all the credit though, my beautiful mother hemmed it and did the blind stitching for me.  She's just the best. I also made the necklaces that the bridesmaids wore.  Emily's aunts made two of them and I made four.  It was the least I could to do try to help the night before.

Day of I was in charge of picking up the flowers at the florist and taking them to the temple.  I was running a little bit behind, but I still had time to be there in time, but when I got to the florist there was a lady in front of me and she was taking forever.  Then they didn't have anything to put all the flowers in so I had to carry them all.  Lets just say that driving with a bouquet in a vase next to you is quite the excitement.  But we got there in time and all went well. 

As bridesmaids we had lots of fun while taking pictures, but by the end out cheeks were sore.  We had green silk flowers to go with our outfits and sparkly silver flip flops.  The luncheon at Los Hermonos was fantastic and after that we went to work setting up for their ring ceremony and celebration.  There were only minor little  details that held us up, but over all everything went well.  The bride and groom were happy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Towards the end we even danced a bit.  And when I say "we" I mean Emily and the bridesmaids, a couple of her aunts and some kids. But it was super fun.  Got to love those line dances. 

All the Bridesmaids at the temple.  Three sisters and three friends.

All of our cute shoes and painted toenails

The three friend bridesmaids at the celebration, Emily wanted us to wear jeans. :)

Got to love those line dances.

It turned out to be almost a 12 hour day, but it was so worth it.  I wouldn't have missed being there for Emily for anything.  We have known each other since we were about 7.  I have seen her go through many chapters of her life and I can't wait to see what this new chapter brings. I wish her and Chris the best. And that's really what being a bridesmaid is all about.  Being there for the people you love and joining in their happiness.

No Stress Fridays

This semester I have been very fortunate to not have any classes on Fridays.  It's about the best thing that ever happened, because for me every weekend is a three day weekend.  I always try to make sure my Friday's are productive by getting all of my homework done, cleaning the apartment, and other things that just get put off the rest of the week.  I'm taking an online English class, so Friday is usually my day to do all of my homework for that.  I also get to do a lot of fun things on Friday's that I wouldn't normally get to do if I had classes.  I always have the intentions of walking up to the Temple to do Baptisms but I don't quite always make it.  I am very blessed to have the beautiful Rexburg Temple only minutes away from where I live.

Last Friday after cleaning the apartment and rearranging our living room my dear roommate Alane and I went to take pictures.  The clouds were amazing and with all the rain that we had received everything was green and there was water everywhere.  We went exploring and just drove around until we found something beautiful that we wanted to take pictures of.  Here are a few examples. 

 Having Fridays off also come in handy when you are trying to go home for a friends wedding.  Because I don't have any obligations next Friday I was able to find a ride home on Thursday instead of Friday.  This was such a blessing because now I will be able to enjoy my family and being home rather than arriving Friday night and doing a wedding all day Saturday.  I am very honored and happy to be involved in Emily and Chris's Wedding.  So it is my pleasure to dedicate my Saturday to them.  But now I will get to best of both worlds and get to do the wedding as well as family making the four hour trip way worth it.

Happy Weekend!!!

I Finally Gave In

Well I have finally joined the ranks of bloggers.  All of you out there have told me to make a blog I finally made the plunge.  So this is my very first post.

So for those of you who don't know this I LOVE princesses.  I have a sign above my bed that says "Princess: Daughter of a Heavenly King."  I also have a mini princess white board.  I have my very own Belle dress and Belle pajamas! If you ask my close friends from High School what princess I am they will tell you that I am Belle. Please do not argue otherwise. Oh and I have Disney Princess phase cards that are my favorite even though everyone else hates them because they are purple and pink instead of black and read.  My favorite colors are even purple, pink, and yellow.  All of these reasons are why I chose to title my blog "The Not So Average Life of a Princess."  The "not so average life" part is because if I am not anything I am NOT average.  I love being weird, abnormal, or however else you want to say it.  So there is the reasoning behind my new blog title.

I give no guarantees on how good of a blogger I will be, but I will definitely give it a shot. So here is to trying new things!  Go! Fight! Win! (Edna from the Incredibles)
