Best idea ever?! I think yes:
https://www.pajamajeans.com/flare/next

Y'all suck at writing on this. I'm going to the Boundary Waters in less than two weeks and then Cali after that and I drive to the Y from Cali! We just found out today from FB that my brother is dating some chic. Weird. My sister in law is getting bigger and bigger every day with the baby boy she is carrying. They haven't decided on a name yet. The canoe trip the student ward was planning for this past saturday was canceled due to too high of waters. It was sad. I went on a date saturday night. It was fun. We played frisbee golf (which I am HORRIBLE at, we need to work on that at byu, or at least with frisbees) and then got ice cream downtown where we ran into a girl I used to run with, which was fun. I have been chilling a lot now since I no longer work at Steak n Shake and am pretty much just lifeguarding. I think that's pretty much it for now...WRITE you poopshnicks.

The Amazing Adventures of ME and my . . . Invisible Roommate


I have THE MOST AMAZING ROOMMATE EVER for summer! Yep, her name is Abigail Bailey Caitlin Daisy Xandra Yachne Zaltana and we pretty much party. . . all day. Like the other day we sat in our room and. . . well, that was about it, but it was AWESOME! Heh, yeah. So, Shayla, I guess no one really has to die for you to get your own room without paying extra.

Anyway, so I've been back in Provo livin' in Glenwood for almost three weeks and I figured, maybe I should write something about it. Well, first off I showed up here, walked into the apartment carrying tons of stuff to be greeted by someone just starting their shower and no one else in sight. So, of course, I just stood there awkwardly wondering where the heck I was supposed to put my stuff and why I was even standing there in the first place. Then, saving me from my awkward-standing-ness, one of my other new roommates came out of her room (she had just woken up cuz she works night shifts & gets home @7 am) and sorta showed me where to go. Sadly, I still can't really say that I know my roommates. Two of them are engaged and one has a very close boyfriend so pretty much everyone is gone all the time and I haven't been around that much either.

Okay, so first week back I left on Wednesday for BYUSA Adventure Experience (cuz I'm an officer this year. . . that's really the whole reason that I'm even here right now). That was pretty much amazing! I could write pages and pages about it, but I don't want to use up that much room, so, to sum it up: 28 college students + huge fancy cabin + hula hoops = lots of fun and lots of bruises. :)

So then, this last weekend I was at home, but I'd been invited to be in the Provo parade with the BYU float and I REALLY wanted to go. For some reason my parents went ahead and decided that we'd go, so my whole family got up at 4 IN THE MORNING so that we could go drive out to Provo. (I was supposed to meet people at 6 hence the crazy early-ness) The parade was AWESOME! It didn't start til 9, so there was a lot of time to kill. So we explored the other floats, took random pictures with everyone we met, and were on TV. Oh, and I got to ride on the float! There were soooo many people there to watch the parade and it was soooo long. It was pretty much constant cheering for about an hour or two, but it was great.

Anyway, that's super vague, but that's pretty much been my last few weeks. I'm loving being back at BYU and I wish you all were here too. A month and a half left!!! I miss you all!

I'm going hooooooooooo--ooo--ooooome!!!!!! :) :) :)


And yes, the title my sistas is the purpose of this blog post.


I'm going HOME! Yaaayayaaaayayayay!

I love all y'all, and I love p-town, but I need a break.


I'm ecstatic to go home!

I haven't seen my dog (or my family), or the good 'ole Texas soil/sky/rainstorms, BBQ, or y'all-sayin folks since January.

I need my Texan dosage before I become a Utah-n for another year.


Nothing else has happened really truly. I've started making a scrapbook of last year, and three pages are full of just some of the best facial expressions. It's the best part of it honestly.

All of y'all are captured on it, of course. We've had *quite* the year, full of fun, jokes, memories, and strange pictures :) :) :)


Love y'all,

Well...Not Much Is Happening, besides the obvious

Well my favorite ladies of the sista-hood, not much has been going on except the obvious elephant in the room. (The elephant = Lots and lots of these boys we have made friends with are leaving tomorrow, have left already, or are about to leave on missions. It's been weird. I've decided that I don't believe in goodbyes, so I'll just say goodnight instead. I'm sad though, and it's hard. I'm sure that y'all understand. But well... I think I'll just try and ignore the obvious.)





Besides that, honestly not much has taken place.


We did tie-dye and frankly, my shirt turned out pretty freakin awesome :)
Thank yous to hannahbrookegrigg for exposing me to the joys of tie-dye.












Also, in my volleyball class, which just ended :( I got a few jump serves over!! That felt triumphant. Besides that.... pretty dull my loverly ladies.

Well, I love all y'all SOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooOOooOoOooooooooooo much.

I'm going to be in P-town until the end of June, and maybe a week after that. If you're here, please come look me up! (ehhhemm Jhouse)

Only Peace and Blessings,

J. Fish.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

Ok, so I guess I'll write another post now. :D

So we've had quite the animal adventure this summer. Most especially the last week. As you may know, we've had a skunk living under our house. Well, my dad caught it in a trap and took it far far away. But that night, there was ANOTHER one!! Well my brother took his shotgun and shot it once it came out from under our house. (It made our entire house reek quite often, though I still think he should've just taken it to the mountains.) Well we went a few more days, thinking we were now skunk free. Nope! I have this big hole in my bedroom wall hidden behind my mirror where a heater used to be, and one day I noticed the most awful smell coming from behind my mirror. Then that night I could hear animals in the wall. So, my brother got his flashlight to look at the little hole under our house. There he could see a big skunk with several baby skunks. Now we couldn't just go under there and get them out, because they were under the old part of the house where there's no way to get under there. Unless you're a skunk. So, my dad set the trap once again. He caught my cat. Then he caught the big skunk. He took it to the river bottoms, and tried to drown it in the trap. Well the metal trap didn't sink so the lid just floated off and the skunk swam away. Unfortunately for it, however, he caught it again and this time he shot it :( Poor momma skunk! Then we set the trap once again. And it took a few days before we got any results. In the meantime, I'd been sleeping either in my mom's room or on the couch, since it seems the skunk's new favorite spot was right under my room. BLECK!!!! But yesterday my mom noticed that the trap door was closed. We peeked in, and there were 2 baby skunks! They were soooooooooooooo cute!! So my mom and I took the trap to the riverbottoms to let them go. Well we were super paranoid that they would spray us, so we were very cautious. We left the trap on the road facing the trees, so we could run away fast. Well I yanked the door off, and turned and ran.... And the skunks just sat there. They didn't want to leave the trap! This was not going according to plan. So we tried propping it up on a rock, hoping they would just kind of slide out. That didn't work either. So then my mom got brave and went to dump them out. She thought one was dead for some reason, apparently she didn't see it ever moving. So she dumped the one out, and then ran from it as fast as she could with the trap so it didn't spray her. I could see the door of the trap she was running with, and the other one was trying to climb out!! So I yelled, and mom hurried and screamed and dumped the other one out on the road. We then hid in our car watching them to make sure they'd be okay. They were. They werer probably the cutest little animals i've ever seen! But since then we've covered the hole, and I was able to enjoy a nice peaceful night's sleep in my own room last night. :D Yay!!

Also this week, I have come upon the knowledge that there are fireflies in Boneta!!!!!! What!?!? I have only seen one firefly in my entire life. In all 19 years of living in Boneta, ONE firefly! That's all my mom's seen too, and neither of my brothers have seen any in Utah period. Well my mom and brother went walking with my grandma the other day. It was kinda late, so it was dark when they were walking home. I was just sitting at home, when I could suddenly heard my mom yelling my name from outside. We grabbed our bikes and headed up the road. Apparently they saw a bunch of fireflies in a field, and my mom ran the 3/4 mile home to get me. She thought they might be gone soon, like the ONE we saw that ONE time. So we hurried back, and it was so awesome! There were thousands of fireflies in the fields! They were so pretty, and we were all amazed and mesmerized. We didn't know if they'd ever come back, so we went back to get my dad. WELL! Apparently he sees fireflies out in the field all the time, and he wasn't impressed at all. PTHTHt. Also my neighbors have seen them lots of times before as well. I don't understand!! My family has lived in that house for at least 20 years, and no one has ever seen them except my dad, and he never thought to mention it. We went back for several nights after that to look at them. So it was pretty exciting!

Work is going well. This morning I was thinking about all the amusing stories I have from work, but at this second I can't think of a single one.... So never mind. Maybe another time I'll share. I'm enjoying being home. I love the country in the summer. Everything is green, flowers are blooming, hay is growing in the fields, and the fresh air smells amazing. The sunsets are beautiful, and the clouds look SO awesome and different every single day. While I could never live here the rest of my life, I've been very grateful that I have such a beautiful place to call home.

Enough about me! Soo, bye!

The Mormon Numbers Are Gonna Increase By ONE!

Beautifuls***

I really wish you would all write more on here. I get sad checking it all the time and realizing there isn't a new entry from anyone. I understand everyone is busy...but I wanna hear about it, you know? I also understand that a lot of "nothing" has been happening. Work, eat, bed, is pretty much our schedules, no? It's okay. I still want to know those little things. I love you guys.

Well, I am not going to write a whole ton, but I just wanted to announce that my friend Donnie, who has been investigating since April, is getting baptized into our church!!!!!!! It's completely insane to think about. Just last year he was so far off the deep end that I could barely hang out with him much, and he was kinda against the Church. So...this is an amazing miracle. I love this Church and the 'second chances' it gives....and the happiness! I literally burst into tears when I heard the news, and it was just out of happiness. Wow. Keep being the examples you are, guys. You are so strong and even if it doesn't seem like anyone is paying attention to what you are doing, they are. I promise. So many are or are going to be blessed by the good you all do. Take care, and write soon. -Crouching Tiger

My Life in. . . Centerville. Yep.

Sooo, I guess maybe I should write on this thing, since I never have. . .and it's been over a month since I left you guys. . . but really there hasn't been much to say.

Today has probably been the most interesting day by far.

The day started out pretty typical, my sister woke me up waaaayy earlier than I wanted to, we had family prayer, I ate some waffles (cuz you guys totally want to know all this) aaand I went back to bed. So then my mom left to run some errands and I figured I'd just be babysitting my sister til about lunch time- that pretty much happens like every other day. Anyway then the elementary school called and now I'm having to sit at home with my little sister while my parents are with my youngest brother in the emergency room at primary children's hospital. Fun, huh!?! It's pretty much driving me crazy. Apparently my brother was playing with one of my other brother's friends (there's like a 5 year age gap, I'm not sure why my brother was playing with him) and they crashed into each other and smacked heads, now they think my brother probably has a concussion and may have broken his nose, but right now they're just trying to keep him awake while they wait to have him looked at. So anyway, when the school started calling, they called here, but I couldn't do anything because all of the cars were taken (my sister took the one that I should have had because it's her birthday. . .) so then they tried calling my mom, but she had her phone on silent. Finally they called my dad who was at work, so he drove all the way back down here (he works like 30 min. away down on the other side of Salt Lake, it's like half-way between here and Provo). By the time he got down here, my mom showed up, totally oblivious and totally convinced that I had just been ignoring the phone and that I didn't know what was going on (cuz I would definitely do that, it's not like I called her probably 4 times and ran to a neighbors house to see if she might be there. . .). So, that's a long story, but basically today's been kinda hectic (my sister also forgot an assignment so I had to run down to the high school to take it to her, then got back to find that she'd sent her friend, in our car, to the house to get it from me), but it's been interesting. Hopefully everything works out well.

Other than that, life's been pretty dull. I'm trying to find a job in Provo for when I go back next month, but I wasn't able to get one here, so life is pretty uneventful. I've hung out with a few friends and it's been fun, but just not the same. Most of them have just been living at home basically just doing a continuation of high school (we live like right between Weber State and the U so it's really easy to live at home and just commute, really cheap too), it's kinda sad in a way- they're missing soooo much. Also, I've decided that I'm flat out sick of science, so I'm gonna attempt to change my major, but I'll have to apply to get where I want so this next year is pretty much going to be just hard core practice and prep.

Anyway, I think I've written too much, so I'll just stop now. I miss you all crazy bad and can't wait to see you all again in the fall!

:) No words needed


Heeeeeey,

I don't really have anything to say. I've just been working a lot. Something funny did happen at work the other day, though. This oldish (30s or 40s) guy at work, the dishwasher, who is always very nice started talking to me. Usually just asks how I'm doing like three or four times a day, but this time he asked if I was married and when I said no, I'm 18, he asked if I had a boyfriend. So I just said sort of and ran away from the situations. Haha. He has a wedding ring, though, so I'm confused.
So my brother and sister-in-law just arrived in town last night! They are going to be staying here for the next couple months because James has an internship in Jeff City, which is like thirty minutes away. They are out job hunting for Natalie as I write this.
On my calendar I have already started counting down the days til I get out of Columbia. There's about 80 something I think. and 11 weeks.
I have to give a talk on Sunday. Bah. I've only gone to that ward once and they're already trying to get me to do all this stuff. Ridic.
This past sunday I went with Cameron's family to his first mission companion's homecoming in Liberty (abt 2 1/2 hours away). He was a really sweet kid and gave a nice talk. Well that's about all I got for you. I miss you all!

Life in good ole P-town

Well Hello Lovely Kawanga Girls,

First of all I miss you all dearly and I hate that I am sooo bad at keeping in touch. I have never written on a blog before so I dont know what to say. I will just share some high points I guess. I love my new ward at Liberty Square and I am very disappointed you guys are living in glenwood! :/ It is very social here and the guys in my ward are super sweet.
I feel like I should tell a story to make this interesting so here it goes. I went with a group of people from my ward to vivian park up in the canyon like three sundays ago. We played frisbee and football, but I had to leave early. I could go into detail about why this happened but long story short my car rolled into the barrier that was like a foot in front of my car. I tried to back up, but my car just kind of re-rolled into barrier. All the guys who I came with rushed to my car and lifted up the front of it as I backed out. It was horribly embarrassing. When I saw them again I explained why it had happened. They understood and thought it was funny. When they were lifting up the car and I was triyng to back out I couldnt stop blabbing and I kept apologizing and after writing this I am going to try to forget it happened because it really was very embarrassing!
On a happier note (ha!) who I consider the most attractive guy in my ward is now my home teacher. I am trying to think of this as a really good thing because I want to get to know him better and now we will be forced to, but at the same time I would love to date him and that would be weird. HA
me and asia really want to get together and kool-aid our har. hopefully it will happen soon and we will of course take pictures. well I hope you all found this interesting........btw I love randomly shouting things like, "stay on your side!" as I am driving or just walking around.
Peace and blessings ladies! <3
love, Shanaynay

OOhhh I Believe There Are Angels Among Us!

My lovelies,

Prepare for a looong entry. I'm sorry, but I've got a LOT to say.

I have two events I wish to speak of. I shall start with the graver one, cuz I like to end up happy.

My sister and I got into a car accident today. It shouldn't have happened, and I watched the whole thing happen. She a new driver, and is headstrong anyway. Well, my family was in town basically the whole day with soccer games and such, and MaLee and I went to various places in my car. My mom asked if I would drive and I did for the first half of the day. Later, I asked MaLee if she wanted me to drive again to our last destination, and she declined the offer and so I became the passenger. During a yield green light, MaLee made a move to turn, and I warned her of the OBVIOUS HUGE car coming towards us. Hey, he had the right of way. Despite my warnings, she pulled out, having an odd, dazed look on her face, and the man hit us passenger side, back seat. We spun and landed in the opposite direction from where we had turned. Totaled car. The 78 year old man that hit us was extremely rude, and cussed and yelled at me for several mintues. I felt like the most mature one of the bunch as I calmly called 911and did what I could to control the situation. God stepped in there, because I would normally have flipped out. As we were waiting for the police, I noticed our missionaries running towards us from across the street. Elder Holt and Heldt waited with us until my dad and the police came. "We JUST came through this light, then felt like we needed to turn around and come back. Then we recognized you, Mariah, and knew why," Elder Heldt said. "We didn't want you alone with that creepy old man. If I had daughters...yeah. I'd be very angry if I knew they were alone with weirdos that THAT," Elder Holt said. It was funny. But, yeah! That is my third accident. I have never been the driver. I am now called "Jonah" by my family because I have always been in the passenger seat during these wrecks. Bad luck, I suppose. The hits have always been on my side. I should have been severely injured every time...but I have walked away from each one with only seatbelt lash and bruising. God has been protecting me. I always wonder why. Listen to your parents if they ask you to DO or NOT to do something. Something as simple as switching drivers can make a difference sometimes. My poor sister is in shock, and is humiliated. I hate left turns. I have much to be grateful for though. Life is fragile, guys. Please be careful out there. I love you.

NEXT....ELDER SCOTT! it has been 36 years since an apostle came to my town. Sick, huh? Well, he is amazing. He spoke at our single adult session for conference, and really gave me such a boost of comfort. He was so sweet and grandpa-like. But then, at the end of his time, he suddenly proclaimed himself as speaking as an apostle of God, and his whole demeanor changed. It was incredible. He suddenly spoke boldly and powerfully and there was no way anyone could deny the spirit that was felt, nor could they deny that the words he spoke were absolutely true. WOW. I had been feeling so alone the last few days as a serious minority in religion...and he reminded me that it was all worth it. I got to sing in a trio for the meeting. It wasn't my best performance, but I guess we sounded alright. Elder Scott called us beautiful young women that sounded like angels. Ummmm, THAT went straight into my journal! I shook his hand last night, and tonight I went again and said, "Is it selfish that I want to shake your hand again?" He smiled and said, "If you keep that smile like that, you can shake my hand as many times as you like." A few people later, he walked straight back to me and grinned and shook my hand again. "Look, you got to shake it again." He winked, then was gone. AHH!!! AMAZING people. I have been so blessed. I have met two apostles within two months. What. the. heck. I don't feel worthy. How stinkin' grateful I am, though.

God is real and mindful of you. Keep doing what you are doing--being strong. You guys are the best, and I miss you so much. I think of you every single day. Keep me posted on YOU. I want to know everything about everybody! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! SHOOT!

Til the tree barks,

Some pictures of my life without YOU!


This is what's going on in my life with out all y'all.

So at work the other day, we were opening up mail (as usual) and I came across this splendidly beautiful envelope.


[see below figure 1]


It has 41 one-cent stamps.
Beautiful.






Also, my new dorm-mates have adopted a man into our dorm.
Well...sort of.


He's kind of just a Head.


And ahead :) hehe
You never know where Sterling is going to be.


(It's really creepy actually. Visitors are quite disturbed by him. And if you rub up against his facial hairit's quite a scare!)










Well, Peace and Blessings my Sistas!

PTHTHTHTHT!!!!! (greetings from the 'window' of BONETA!!)

Yes, that's right. Pththththt refers to a little something I like to call, "laugh at people outside our window while we act like jr. high boys." If you don't know what I'm talking about, well, I will CUT you!!

I agree with all yall that I miss BYU and all of you terrably. And until last night, I haven't seen anyone besides my mom, dad, and grandma in a week! I was going craaaazy!! But it's okay. I got together with some friends from high school/rm's and went bowling. I beat my score of 46, with a whopping 57!! I was very proud of myself. Then we helped ourselves to Arby's shakes, played guestures, and watched Wolverine. While it was a blast and great to see everyone again, it was a little like torture in a way. I would, out of habit, say something like "Ru", or "SHaOOT!" or make some random weird pththt noise, I would just get weird looks. Which yall give me anyway, but you UNDERSTAND!! Oh well.

So I'm still job searching. Applied for several at the hospital, and at a grocery store. None have called me back yet, so I'll be going back and looking more on Monday. Who knows; maybe I'll end up at McDonalds for the summer!! Yay!! :(

I've been attempting to teach myself guitar. This doesn't work because I have decided either my mom's guitar is too big, my hands too small, the internet telling me how to do chords wrong, or I'm just no good at it. Oh well.

Enough about me. Soooooo....................... Peace and blessins!!

Oh, and speaking of kittens...... we have a skunk living under our house. It's really cute, but rather stinky.

I dont know how to use this thing. Hope this works/What's happening in Hutto Hippo town!

Hey guys! Gosh I miss the crap out of y'all! (Jessica let's keep that word in ALL of our posts :)) I think everyone will like that. Especially Mariah she loves that word. I just got through watching New Moon with the fam. It was just as corny if not cornier than I imagined. But it was still pretty good. Lets seeeee what's new with me, hmmmm oh! I am starting on a new excersise program, doing P 90 X er'day! except for two days of the week, one being Sunday of course and the other a runnung day. Although I didn't end up doing either today but that's not going to happen very often! I also am going to start my job at Nike next week and hopefully will be called by this dog kennel place that I got an interview at this past tuesday. I wholeheartedly agree with you MJC about the whole pebble in shoe analogy. except I wouldn't use a pebble, I would use a large sponge. And I can't believe it's snowing there! it was like 80 degrees here today! well I should hit the sack so peace out homie G's!

LC weazy

Somewhere in the Big MO....

Oh, My dearest darlings!

First of all, I may murder my sweet kitty cat because she hit 'ESC' with her stupid paw and exited my last post that was more than halfway done. NOW, she is clawing my butt (you know, that weird thing they do when they find a comfy spot) (meaning I need to work out some more)and I am not appreciative of this!!! One moment.

The heathen is gone!!! Momentarily. anyway.

I've had so many mixed emotions being home. I mean, I'm happy to be with my family and in BEAUTIFUL, GREEN Missouri. Buuut...it's just odd being a new person in an old world. Though BYU feels like a dream, my heart knows it wasn't, and I feel the gap where you guys once were. Like I put it to Leigh: BYU memories and people are like a stone in my shoe. They don't keep me from from walking, but they never let me forget they are there. AND it feels unnatural. HA! I just reminded myself of when we were creeping on Frenchy's FB and we found that odd analogy blog :) GOOD TIMES. That was so weird and unexpected.

I am currently job seeking. Baskin Robbins is hiring and I'm going to hit that up tomorrow, along with HyVee and some other places. I hate job hunting. It's the worst. I was going to go to Golden Corral...but I've had some weird feelings about it. I wish I could just run away to Disney World and be paid to be a princess. Hmmm... I found out that two of my close guy friends are either innactive....or going to...let's just say not be LDS anymore. :( I am super sad. I haven't really seen any of my friends yet. Except Loveli. :) I was at State Music Contest for my sister, so I saw some younger classmen, whom said I looked really tan and blonde :) This pleased me. OH! And a huge group of black guys hit on me. Like, hardcore. This pleased me too. I thought of all of you guys. I wanted to shout. "Heyyy Dwart!!!" I mean, seriously...they can't resist this. They gonna try, but it aint gonna hoppen!!!!

I talk too much. I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!! And can't wait to hear more.

Cool Beans, yo---

What's going on in P-Town.

Hey all y'all!

Let's just say that I pretty much just miss y'all WAY TOO MUCH!
(But... enough with the obvious)

What's going on in P-Town you ask?
Well, it was one of the most beautiful days ever Tuesday, and the past few days it was snowing dip'n dots, sleeting on me, and being the typical PMS-y weather.

As for the humorous part of my day, was actually at work. (imagine that!)
At Independent Study, we open up mail, sort it and file it- and therefore most of the time, read it. Well surprisingly, we get a lot of mail from prison inmates, asking about our programs, and how they could get a college degree through independent study.

This one letter sent my office into a riot.
This man had recieved his master's degree in criminal justice, and was asking us about our programs, and if he could achieve his docterate degree in criminal justice, while he was in prison! (meaning: he got thrown in jail despite having a master's degree in criminal justice--- the last occupation you'd imagine someone having in jail!!!!)

We laughed that one off for a long time.
Well, love all you 'uns!
Peace and Blessings,

JFish.
Dearest Kawanga girls,

Holy crap! I am soooo ridiculously bored here. Hopefully it will be better when other people get home from school, but bascialy I just miss you guys...
Pretty much I've just been transcribing, playing around on Facebook, and today I just started a job at Steak and Shake (for those of you who are ignorant, it's a burger and shake place.) So I just followed my trainer around and watched what he did. You guys have never seen me talk so little. It was way outside my comfort zone. It was pretty funny when my trainer, Brian, asked how old I was and I said 18 and he was like "so fresh out of high school?" And I kind of snorted and was like "no, I'll be a sophomore in the Fall." Then he looked really confused and I had to specify that I would be a sophomore in college. I did not fail that many grades (I didn't fail any grades, actually...) Well, that's about all I have to update y'all on. I'm going to have ice cream with Cam's family in a little while bc they're in town right now. Mmmmm...Andy's ice cream is amazing...and I missed Tradition Tuesday...

I HELD A KITTY!

Many of you may be aware of my great fear/hatred that I hold for most animals (except rolly pollies, flamingos, and fish) but...on Sunday I was at Marshall's and he was playing with their orphan kitty. So, I decided to live a little and hold the kitty! haha...You should all be so proud. While I was holding it/attempting to, Marshall told me not to throw it in the garbage when I was done...I thought that was kind of random ( and something Marshall would say)! Anywho, I didn't die, and thek itty didn't die/ it was not thrown away. Oh..also I fed my dogs dinner tonight (not by choice) haha. I miss you all to pieces and I hope you are all having a good summer. I can't wait to be reunited in a few months!
Love you all.
XOXOXOXO
HANASTA.
