"Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today"

I'm actually leaving on Feb 8th, so no worries. We still have a bit of time.

I have been called to serve in the New York, New York North Mission - Spanish speaking for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (thus the Frank Sinatra: New York New York reference"

I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve and so grateful that it's time!

Just a little message for you. If you can read this, please let me know :)

I am loving school so far this semester. I'm taking phonetics and anatomy of speech mechanisms, and doing really well in both. I know that I am in the right major because, not only do I enjoy the classes but I'm a natural. For the most part, I pick up this communicative disorders stuff so easily.

Work is going well too. I work every Friday night which puts a huge damper on the social life, but I'm surviving.

My roommates truly are the best. We are so close. It's slightly unnatural how well we get along, seeing how we didn't know each other 2 months ago.

I've got a special announcement coming up in a few weeks, but I think I'm going to keep you waiting with suspense for a while. And if you already know, no sneaking!

Jazz Hands

So this one summer, I worked at EFY and it was wonderful. I met lots and lots of great individuals. Thanks for an amazing summer everyone! Now school has started and I'm really excited about this semester. I'm taking phonetics, anatomy, history of jazz, human development, old testament (institute: make it a priority), and voice lessons. Lots of things to keep me busy.

I recently moved into a new apartment. It's an upstairs apartment in a super old school house. I call it the penthouse. I'm rooming with some super wonderful ladies Jeralyn, Dayna, and Jay. They are chipper, friendly, and easy going. With them, this year will be one to remember.

Okay, this is all good news. But the blog-breaking news is yet to come. One of the amazing people I met at EFY this summer is Kami. She and I set a goal to exercise more often. In order to start our exercise goal off right, she introduced me to this life-changing video... ENJOY!



Now that your life has been changed, I hope that you jazzercise often.

New Apartment!

My new apartment is all organized and decorated. I love my new place. My roommates are so sweet and kind. The apartment itself is really high quality. I have pictures for you! A tour, through my bedroom... my very own bedroom!

First thing, my bookshelf/drawers. Complete with approximately 10 books. Haha. My collection will grow eventually.



My super pink room that I love very muchly. Doesn't it just scream Lindsay?



Mirrored closet doors, AKA: Heaven.



Aaaand... my very own bathroom (also very pink).



Now that my room is beautified and all settled, It's EFY Season! I start this Saturday and will be in Provo until the beginning of July. Heeeere we go!

Boom! Roasted!

I like to keep my blog posts positive, but sometimes it's healthy to be negative.



I am a huge fan of The Office. It's probably my first love. There is an episode where Michael roasts his employees in the office. He says:

"Jim, you’re 6’11” and you weigh 90lbs, Gumby has a better body than you. Boom, roasted!
Dwight you’re a kiss a**. Boom roasted!
Pam you failed art school. Boom, roasted!
Meredith, you kissed so many guys you’re starting to look like one. Boom, roasted!
Kevin, I can’t decide between a fat joke and a dumb joke. Boom, roasted!
Creed, your teeth called, your breath stinks. Boom, roasted!
Angela, where’s Angela? Well there you are, I didn’t see you behind that grain of rice. Boom, roasted!
Oscar, you’re gay.
Andy, Cornell called they think you suck and you’re gayer than Oscar. Boom, roasted!"

I want to hold a roast for all the frustrations that I have now.

USU Advisors, McDonald's suits you better. Boom, roasted!
Boys, you smell. Boom, roasted!
Car, you may want to look up the definition for transportation. Boom, roasted!
School Loan, go pay yourself off. Boom, roasted!

Phew! Haha. That feels okay. Now I'm going to go write a gratitude list. ♥

Here we go again

I always say, there's nothing like a good pair of break-up shoes:




Or a haircut... hmmmm, decisions, decisions.

PS. If you know of any good guys in Logan. Let me know!

Spring Break!

Why do I love USU? Let me count the ways... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days of spring break definitely helps.

For spring break, I took a little trip with some friends. On the way down Emily and I had the most epic car flirting experience ever. Ready, Set, STORY!

There we are, driving in Nephi, a red car pulls up next to us and the passenger gives a little head nod. Emily and I just laugh, and then I see the Utah State sticker in the back of their car. We had to tell them we were fellow Aggies. I put on blue gloves passed out at the basketball games and we catch up to them. I do "The Scotsman" cheer as we pass. Next thing I know, they have an iPad out that says "Cedar City?"
"Nope, St. George." We manage to communicate.
The next statement we get from the iPad is, "Lunch in Fillmore?"
As fun as that would be, I'm currently taken and Emily didn't want to be the only one, so we said no. We thought that was the end, right? Nope...
Right before the Fillmore exit we get another message, "Subway in Fillmore. Hope to see you there." Again, we pass and laugh. End of story, right? Wrong again.

Likealittle.com is an interesting flirting website that is used when using words is not your style... My friends and I have recently developed an addiction to seeing what people post on this website. Lo and Behold, only a few hours after arriving in St. George we see this message. click here

Hilarious, eh? We thought so.

While in St. George we got to go to Zions, where Jenny ripped her pants (pictures available on facebook).



And to Las Vegas to see our Aggies play...



While in Vegas, we also got kicked out of two casinos. All of us passing 21 by a few years, except for little Emily. She's still 20. Lots of good times, even if we can't be on the casino floor or even in the sports lounge. Thanks for a great break guys!!
