It's Been Awhile...

So yeah. Life is pretty much crazy, nonstop, madness. But it's all good, I'm surviving.



Sohas nominated me for an award? Well I feel flattered. ;) It's called the Liebster Award, and basically, you get nominated, then you nominate more people, then the nominate people and so on! Its a great way to get the word out on newer and smaller blogs!




So the rules to this award are:

1. Link back to the person who nominated you.

2. List 11 facts about yourself.

3. Answer the 11 questions posted by the person who nominated you.

4. Nominate up to 11 bloggers who have 200 followers or less.

5. Ask your nominees 11 new questions.



Eleven Facts About Me

1. I was baptized into the LDS church () in July of 2012. Best Decision EVER.

2. I love to read. It's pretty much the best.

3. College life= awesome. College + working life= not so awesome. College is amazing and I love the freedom I have with it, and it isn't going to pay for itself, so working is definitely necessary for me.

4. I aspire to play the piano someday. I think it is the most beautiful instrument there is and hope to be able to play it well in the future.

5. I have been to Greece, and I would love to see more of the world. I hope to travel to Paris specifically.

6. My best friend/ secret keeper/ boyfriend is serving a mission in Irvine California. I miss his guts. The first month was surprisingly not all that bad, but lately this week my heart just aches for him. So many things I want to tell him and talk to him about, and I want a hug more than anything.

7. Mostly all of my friends are gone and doing crazy awesome things in different parts of the world. And I'm here, with a few of my friends still left.

8. I love to sew and scrapbook.

9. I'm a self-teacher. I want to do something? I figure it out, or at least try really hard. That is how I know how to do a lot of the things I do. Google and YouTube are my friends.

10. My favorite color is purple, and my other favorite color is green because that is Brandon's favorite color.

11. I am attending Arizona State University right now. I am at the Polytechnic campus right now, so its nice and small and quiet and friendly.



The Questions Kai Asked Me

1. What is your favorite color to wear? I like anything that is reddish/orange or scarlet. Those are my favorite to wear, but other people say I look good in green.

2. If you could only listen to three songs for the rest of your life, what would you listen to? by Insideout, by Florence and the Machine, by Imagine Dragons, by Josh Turner,by Matchbox Twenty. That's more than three, but oh well. :)

3. Would you rather travel to a beach or a forest? I've been to the beach before, so the forest! Why not? Sounds like a grand adventure to me!

4. What is your ideal weather? FALL. I like cloudy days, around 70 degrees, little bit of wind chill, but not too much.

5. Who is your role model? My role model... I don't think I could ever pick just one person because I have been touched by so many different people in my life. I would probably have to say Jen Martineau or Marie Stevens, both of them equally as much. But there are a bunch of others also :)

6. What would be your last meal if you were on death row? I guess it would depend on what type of food I was craving at the time.. But my favorites are homemade baked potato with chili, in-n-out, or fettuccine alfredo from the Cheesecake Factory (along with a slice of red velvet cheesecake, of course).

7. What is your favorite book series? Harry Potter, hands down. That is my absolute favorite.

8. What cool things would be included in your dream home? A secret room that you can access through a spinning bookcase wall. My own gospel library type thing (it's a dream because really, I can't afford to spend like $20+ per book I want and make it big enough for a library, so I just pick and choose my favorites). A big craft room for all of my sewing and scrapbooking activities.

9. What is your favorite (cheesy) pick-up line?

10. If you were granted one wish what would it be? I think it would have been absolutely incredible to be able to witness the miracles that Jesus Christ performed while he was here on Earth. 11. What is your favorite number and why? How coincidental! It is actually 11. Why? Well, my first kiss with Brandon was on the 11th month and 11th day of the year 2011, and in the 11th hour. 11-11-11 11:something was the start of my happiest times with him. :)



My Nominees

I don't really know any bloggers all that well, but I do follow a few. So I nominate Shaylee (even though she doesn't know me) from She is pretty much my favorite blogger right now because she was a missionary girlfriend who is now engaged to her RM and getting married soon. What an inspiration! I only hope that I can be that lucky when mine gets home.

2. How many kids do you want to have?

3. Favorite movie?
