Countdowns of Excitement

My Twin comes home in two days. Two years nearly conquered with the exception of two days. I am SO EXCITED!!! He'll be in the states on the 24th, and fly into Utah the evening of Sunday the 11th.  I want to laugh and cry and jump and dance and tell all the world- My Twin is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Yep. That guy. :)

Also, for anyone wondering, since it's so close to the actual day, there are ten months and three days til Keys gets home.

That guy. Of whom Twin is also in the picture with. ;)

Also, five months and three days until Christmas,
One month and five days until school starts again, :-/
Four days until the combined Single's Stake Swim Party at the Scera where I will party with these guys:

Cupcake and I at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple

Group date- Messy Twister in the Park!

Me and Brave

Superhero Presidency!!!

...and more. Excited some? Yes I am.

Oh! Ps. Dad taught me how to drive a motorcycle when we were recently in Idaho.  I like it.

Not in motion...but then the camera wouldn't have been able to focus. ;)

See you soon....

Love, Me.

"Nice.....jinx."

I think blogging comes in spurts. Here's an actual play of events from today, between me and my brother...

Me [Singing]: "Tomorrow night the lights will appear. Just like they do on MY birthday each year..." [I had just realized that my life fits quite well with Rapunzel's from Tangled.] (mutters) Unless my birthday's on a Sunday.

Guido: What?

Me: The song? From Tangled? Lights will appear in the sky tomorrow, like they do every year, unless my birthday coincides [HA!! (See a previous post if you're confused)] with a Sunday.

Guido: What?? What's the date tomorrow? It's not the Fourth!?

Me: I know. Tomorrow's the 2nd, and it's the Stadium of Fire. They're having David Archuleta sing.

Guid: Who's that?  (HA! again. Movie quote.)

Me: He was on American Idol. It was between him and another David. The other David won.

Guid: So, in other words, they're having a loser sing?

Haha, so, that was it. I thought it was funny, and hope it brightened your day some. :)
Ps. If you're a David Archuleta fan, I'm sorry to have offended you.

Happy 4th of July celebrations!!! :D Yay for FREEDOM!!!

Love, Me.

Poems by my brilliant brother, Nathan. I was absolutely entranced. Here they are, for you to read. Enjoy....... :)

Music



Bursting through all senses


Inspiring my entire mind


Enveloping it, I am consumed by it


I am a master, I can accomplish much


All things are comprehended


My entire being is motivated


My spirit is speeding, flying


My mind is powerfully concentrating


My body is twirling, flipping, spinning, dodging, lunging


And then a change…


I am now an omniscient teacher,


Flowing with streaming movements


Teaching my humble students.


I soar through the sky,


Absorbing the sun’s rays


When I am suddenly whisked away into a ground-shaking battle.


I immediately charge into the fray,


Knowing that, even though their weapons screamed as they flew by,


I would defeat them.

Ten Living iPhones

Ten living iPhones started to walk,

One was purchased and used as a rock.

Nine living iPhones walked to the Sprint store,

One found an Android and existed no more.

Eight living iPhones had a nice day,

One accidentally fell onto a lunch tray.

Seven living iPhones drove to the school,

One fell out the window and landed in some guy’s pool.

Six living iPhones found a live wire,

One put its finger in and then there was a big fire.

Five living iPhones thought they would eat,

One got trapped in an oven and melted from the heat.

Four living iPhones were sitting in a tree,

One got pushed off and then there were three.

Three living iPhones downloaded an experimental app,

One downloaded a virus and now is just a scrap.

Two living iPhones were getting very scared,

One took a little jog, but by trucks he was not spared.

One living iPhone didn’t know what to do,

So an old lady came up and baked him in her stew.

Guido!!!

Hey, Guido, thanks for "following" me.  It made my day. ;-) And everyone else, as well.  It makes me smile when I see that list...I don't know if that's conceited or not, but there you go. ;-)  Thanks, all. ;-)

Oh, and Kaden...אתה נראה כמו גמל

...I think you can guess what that means. ;)

Ps. everyone else...that's Hebrew. ;)

Love, Me. :)

The Road Less Traveled...and Loved Along the Way...

I didn't do all that I "should have"...
I'm not saying I did wrong;
It's just when opportunity came up-
I couldn't pass along.

I woke a little earlier
And with that extra time
Said to my younger brother,
"Happy birthday, friend of mine."

I walked along at campus
And on my way to class,
Was sprayed by a stray sprinkler
That wasn't on the grass.

I could have scoffed, I chose to laugh,
And walked with higher step,
(Though hard to do, I must admit
With a textbook along with HEP)

I ate outside, enjoyed the sun-
Who knows how long She's there?
The leaves on all the tree's'll be gone,
With Winter in the air.

I used that bit of money
You know, my little spare?
And with it bought a present
For my brother, with such care.

My sister and I sang all the way home,
With the windows rolled way down,
You could tell we both were tired,
But we sang out for the town.

I played a little tune
With my brother oh so fun.
(We played a little harder
When out the window we'd see someone.) ;-)

And then tonight, at not quite nine
My homework yet to start,
My little sister comes to my side,
And tugs upon my heart.

So side by side, we sit and read
For "just a minute more..."
She snuggles by my arm, and heeds
My every word in store.

I did some homework; I read some books
I didn't finish, though...
But I'd never trade a day of books
For what I learned at home.

You can always gain more knowledge.
You can always buy more stuff.
But there's one thing you can't make up for-
It's for loving not enough.

That's why I chose my family
Over something, though important, yes.
Though I enjoy learning dearly,
I love my loved ones best.

It's late at night, it's time for bed
I know there's more to do.
But I have one question: With days like this...
What would you choose to do?
