Home Away From Home... Far Away

HAHA I love how dramatic I am about Provo.. like it's states away! It feels like it sometimes, not because it's far but because it's so different there. For instance, Arby's is closed on Sundays... that's weird! As you can guess I went there for the weekend! We went to a parties at Kelly's, my boss' house. We had a lot of fun, I love Quin's group of friends. His best friend who is like a sister Lapreal is great! I love her!! Me and Quin were fighting because well I assumed out of nowhere mind you that he was mad at me... and she talked to me and listened to me. I had an emotional night. And surprisingly if I would have just I don't know maybe TALKED to Quin I would have realized I made the whole thing up... DUH LISA! Well we talked about it and we're fine, because we TALKED! It makes me mad how dumb I was.

Saturday we slept in and layed on the couches watching basketball. We went to dinner, then went and saw forgetting sarah marshall.

Let me tell you... that movie is funny, BUT half way through I was like this movie could be over by now! It felt like it would never end! And HAHA there were like 4 penis shots and those make me laugh! I could only imagine the guys (Quin in particular) having to see that! We had seen Walk Hard when we were first together and there is like 12 penis shots! After the movie we went and got root beer floats and went home to watch another basketball game. If you didn't know me growing up, I use to love love LOVE root beer! I'd get it anywhere I'd go. Well Quin has brought me back to loving it. He had it one day at his house and I had some and now I love it again! And root beer floats are the best!!


Sunday we went over to his parents house again, and it was such a nice day we sat out on the patio in the sun until dinner. I got some pretty good sun! We had Bison burgers for dinner... I ate buffalo. And it wasn't bad at all, and really tasty! I told Jenny later about it and she was like I wouldn't have been able to eat it!!! HAHA but it was good. I felt so stupid though, his parents asked me what my parents thought about me dating someone his age and I honestly couldn't remember! I'm dumb!!!! We watched The Brave one, and as much as I hate Jodi Foster it was a really good movie!

I went to Chris and Jenny's Monday and Bailey is the best thing that has ever been invented! I could sit and watch her forever! She loves my phone, and I let her play with it as long as she wants because I make her play with it by me... HAHA! I don't take pictures that often, and I wish that I had pictures of Quin from the weekend, and Bailey on Monday. Her outfit was SO CUTE!

I'm going out to Provo again for the weekend. Lapreal is having a birthday party at her house, and Chris and Jenny might come!! I'm going to try and remember to take pictures, maybe I'll get a disposable camera... We'll see!!!

GOOOOOOOOOO GREEN TEAM!

Last night I was lectured by Chris and Jenny about being Green. I just happened to come across this video today that is hilarious!!!! If you haven't been to funnyordie.com check it out cause it's hilarious! It has that landlord video with will ferrell. This one and the gay robot are my two favorite I've found!! I bug Jen from work when I get on this website cause I send her tons of videos! HAHA

I'm trying to see if this works :)

Reminiscing

Last night I couldn't sleep, like usual. Well instead of watching TV all night I decided to look through some old pictures, way way old pictures. I have a huge thing full of pictures from when I lived in California, these are from like senior year in high school and on. It made me so sad I was almost crying. I just miss my life there, I lost a lot of great and old friends. But then I think of my life here and I would never give it up. I feel like I'm so independent now and I love my life and my struggles. It's everything that I've made it to be. The good and the bad! But I miss the freedom of what my life use to be. No responsibilities, and I thought my life was so tough and I'd never get through it. HA! Well I went to go write about this, because that's what I do. And I have this notebook I write in every once and awhile. I don't do it a lot because I hate writing a ton it hurts my hand. So I was reading some past things I've written and all the last stuff was about Ian. That was such a weird time in my life. I feel like it was forever ago. Well it kind of was we've been broken up for almost a year. While I'm reading these things I'm thinking you know how people say "well he wouldn't be him if it weren't for..." Well Ian wouldn't be him if it weren't for his empty promises. It sounds harsh, but it's so true! Our whole 2 year or whatever relationship was full of empty promises from him. I kept getting pulled in. Even after this is all said and done, I wouldn't take any of it back. I learned so much from all of it. But I'm so happy now. Utah is a fun place to live when everything isn't him. I'm so happy now! All and all it was a weird night, and I think the next time I can't sleep I'm going to watch TV or take nyquil so I can! HAHA!

I Think I Live in Provo Part-Time...?

Every weekend I am in Provo... well not this last weekend but the weekend before we were in Mesquite but other then that I live in Provo on the weekends. It's weird.

Mesquite was a blast! I get so shocked when Quin does something that other boyfriends haven't, like act like he likes me. It's a weird concept and he should teach fellow guys this. It's amazing to know your boyfriend likes you... I thought you were suppose to just go through a relationship guessing if your boyfriend liked you or not. And now I can tell you NO that is not how a relationship is suppose to be!!!! haha
Well he paid for absolutely everything, I'm not joking!!! EVERYTHING!!! We checked into our rooms and he hands me $100, have fun gambling. I was like ....uhhh are you kidding me? He's like no... why would I? We gambled a lot, he is funny! We went with Rob, Kelly, Bernie, and Chad. It was so fun!! So he went golfing Saturday and I hung out in the room for awhile, then met Rob, Kelly, and Bernie at the pool. Saturday we walked to another casino and sat in the lounge for awhile. I said to Quin "I think I'm going to need another 100 dollar bill." He said "OKAY!" I was like "No I am actually up from what you already gave me." He's like "okay just let me know when you need more." See it's nuts, that doesn't make sense to me. But I'll take money! It was so much fun!!!

This last weekend Quin had another bonfire and I swear I meet more friends of his every weekend... his friends don't end. Which is a good thing I guess. Saturday we rented movies and watched the jazz game. Yeah... a Jazz game. The things I do!!!!

His parents invited me to their house for Sunday dinner and to celebrate his mom's bday. Well I wanted to get her some chocolates from Godiva, or some sort of yummy chocolately treat from there, but he made me go to wal mart.... wal mart! Well after hours of looking at the same chocolates I picked some. Then I didn't want to just hand her a box of them, like a son would. So then I sat at stared at the ribbons forever trying to decide on one to tie around the box. HAHA well Quin was like okay we're late (as we're standing at the check out) I'm like well you had a lot to buy! He's like you're really going to tell me that your chocolates and ribbon are not what made us late! It was funny, because that had a lot to do with it... HAHA! Well we ate and watched a movie then left. Quin told me today that his family loves me and he had a long message about it on his phone this morning. HAHA! SUCCESS!!!!

Next weekend we're hanging out with my friends, because I miss them!! And I like being with Quin, but Provo's Carazy!!!!

Another Great Weekend :)

Again I had an awesome weekend! I couldn't stop smiling Monday, ask anyone I saw! I saw my mom Monday night and she kept laughing at me because I had this smile on my face that wouldn't go away! HAHA

Friday I packed my stuff before work so I could head out to Provo right after work. Well a whole weekend requires a lot of crap for a girl like me. And actually forgot A LOT! But we went over Rob and Kelly's (Quin's friends house) and we had a bonfire. I love the summer for this! I love love LOVE sitting around a bonfire with a drink and good friends. I don't know if it's because it reminds me of growing up in CA, or just camping but it makes me happy! A few of his friends were there that I had already met. And I'm so glad one of his bf's loves me Lapreal. I think of them like brother and sister, so her liking me is SO important to me. Luckily she does! So we had fun all night hanging out laughing and planning our trip to Mesquite!!!! I can't wait! We had planned on Quin and his friend Chad going golfing while me and Kelly get massages and lay by the pool! What can be better then that! Well I guess me not having to pay for much this trip! That kind of tops EVERYTHING!

Saturday Quin left to go golfing at about 1. Well Utah sucks right now it's horrible weather! Quin came back more mad then I've ever seen him. He was freezing the entire time! And if you know him, he's not cold ever! Plus he paid for 18 holes and only played 9 or whatever. He was pissed. Well he took a nap while I watched tv. We watched tv together for awhile after he woke up then went up to where I live to go to this sandwich shop. It's called the Philadelphian, and if he hadn't been telling me how good it was I wouldn't have stayed. It is so dirty and nasty inside. It is for sure a hole in the way restaurant. But Sooooo good and sooooo worth it! Well we were in bed by 1030, we're pretty pathetic!

Sunday we had made plans for me to meet his parents! EEEEEEK! Okay, for real I am so bad at meeting parents. I'm quiet when I meet people but when I meet parents I freak! I think it's a mixture of being shy and having kind of bad experiences with parents. Doug's parents HATED me from the start and never liked that he was with me. Ian's dad loved me, but his mom and step dad I don't think liked me either. And plus all those parents have been weird. Again Ian's dad was not, he was awesome! But the others were weird! The only parent I've liked was Zach's mom, she was AMAZING! I loved her the second I met her, and she loved me too!!! I saw her a couple months ago actually and she was so sad to hear we weren't together. I would date him just to have a relationship with her... IF he wasn't the craziest person ever! So back to the current parents. We walked in and I met the dad first, I put my hand out to shake his hand and he grabbed me and hugged me! Then his mom comes walking up and she's like I need a hug! They are sooooo cute! They are amazing in fact. He is so lucky to have parents like he does. I don't think it ever helps when you meet people when they are constantly complimenting you. His mom was like "you are so beautiful! Quin has said how beautiful you are and he was right!!" How nice right?? So we sat and talked while we waited for dinner to be ready. Then had the yummiest dinner ever!! I miss family dinners and stuffing myself HAHA! It was so good! We talked some more and I found out Quin spends HOURS at this buffet we're going to in Mesquite and that scares me! What I loved was whenever I've met a boyfriends parents the mom is always interested in meeting the girl, asking her questions, getting to know her. The dad will listen maybe ask a question, but mostly talk to the son or whatever. But his dad was right there asking questions too and I don't know it was just different and I really liked it! My favorite part was his mom asked why I moved here after I told her I hate the cold and Quin pipes in "to meet me duh!" I was like "oh right!" and his mom was like "I'm glad then that you moved here" and quin was like "me too!" So cute!! We watched a movie and then we were on our way. We watched stuff on Egyptians and I was on my way home. It was honestly the best weekend I've had in a long time!

Before I left I told Quin I wanted to take him to this pizza place I love. Well I got the great idea to invite Chris and Jenny. After stressing about what time and if we should meet them at their house or at the restaurant we were waiting in the parking lot to meet them. It's so awkward for me at first, I kept like giggling. Anyway Quin talks so much it's never awkward meeting him. He got up to buy us all another round of beer and I asked Chris and Jenny what they thought. "SOOO much better!" I was like really? They were like "yes sooo much better then anyone you've ever brought around!!!" I was shocked! Chris was like "Ian was a douche bag and everyone else was crazy!!" So they liked him... A LOT! I'm just glad they finally met him! I knew they would like him, it was just a matter of getting them together! We were there forever talking. Quin is so funny and had them laughing so hard! Jenny called me today and said Chris is still laughing about a story Quin told about him falling off a chair lift snowboarding! Yeah he fell! And Quin loved them as well. He thinks Jenny is beautiful and so sweet and Chris is awesome he says. HAHA! He said he can tell we're sisters, which not a lot of people say. When he was driving me home he was like you and your sister are so beautiful. Is your mom really pretty too? HAHA it just sounded funny. I can't wait for him to meet the rest of the bunch of friends!

But only 2 and a half more days we'll be in Mesquite and that's all I'm looking forward to right now!!!!!

Bailey is So Funny!

So I went over to Chris and Jenny's the other night and I was sitting in the kitchen uploading some pictures to my myspace and Jenny had walked out of the room and I wasn't really paying attention before she left. Well I heard something on the other side of the island, so I walked over there and Bay is sitting in the cupboard playing! I took the pictures on my phone that like before I said sucks, but I couldn't find Jenny's camera.

She had already pulled out most of the things in there!

The cup was empty, she knew it. She must have really been thirsty!

She was lifting these glass bowl things that hold candles I think. They were so heavy!!! Oh and glass!! I love this little girl! I'm sure other kids do this but I've never seen it.

Open Up Your Throat and Scream!!

I had the best weekend! Quin's crazy roommate moved out while we were camping for Easter (separately) And I'm not joking his roommate was weird. He was like 50 something and he would never leave the front room, so Quin was always stuck in his room and if we wanted to watch a movie or whatever we had to watch it in his room. So Friday he wanted to watch a movie in the front room for the first time! HAHA! We went to the store and bought stuff to make dinner and rented a movie on the way back. It was so fun, we made dinner and watched anchorman. Which is HILARIOUS! I love that movie! I was so tired though we couldn't even finish the movie. Saturday he had to work early so I stayed and slept for awhile and went home while he was at work.

Saturday he had planned a party since the crazy roommate was gone. They got in a huge fight because before he wanted to throw a party and the roommate didn't want anyone over. Anyway I had been acting like a crazy person since Wednesday about stupid stuff, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go Saturday. I of course ended up going. I met a few of his friends I hadn't met yet. And it was a lot of fun. He had a bonfire and we just hung out all night. All of his friends I have met so far have been way nice and very very complimentary. Which is ALWAYS nice! I always think "hey I'll take pictures this time!" But I don't... ever! He's cute, he took care of me Saturday. Soooo cute!

Sunday we went to breakfast and rented two movies and laid on the couches all day! I'm so happy I can't even believe how I was a couple days ago... of course things aren't perfect all the time, but I was just being so dumb and stressing about stupid stuff! I honestly can't believe how dumb I was being! At least I have amazing friends that will listen to my crazy talk and help me out! I'm a lucky girl! We talked about me going to his parents house Sunday to meet them... eeeek pretty freaky!

Today is April fools day and I get this text message from Quin...
Quin: "what are you telling Kelly?"
Me: "about what?"
Quin: "Kelly is texting me your pregnant"
Me: "HAHA babe it's April fools! What is she saying?"
Quin: "She asked if I'm happy you're pregnant and I said April fools. And she said oh I'm not suppose to tell you?"
Me: "HAHA! ask Rob who put her up to it!"
Quin: "He doesn't know"

Kelly is my supervisor that set me and Quin up. Rob (Quin and Kelly's best friend) had text Kelly to have me or her tell Quin I was pregnant as an April fools joke! If I would have done it he would have done the freak out! I didn't know Kelly was going to do it but it was still funny!! I'm sure he freaked for a second! I was talking to Kelly and she's like if you two get married it's all because of me!! HAHA crazy lady!!!!!
