Moooooving

So I made I new blog that I might post on every once in a while. I always have blogging urges but never really want to post here for some reason so I decided to start over. Here is the link for my new place, it's pretty boring right now, but I might get to decorating one of these days. Probably. Who knows, I'm lazy.

Kids

This is what we do when my parents are in Hawaii.

I really love them.

Guys, help

I bought a rat.

I'm having the hardest time thinking of a name.

It's driving me so crazy.

If you have any ideas let me know please!

Oh no

I'm obsessed with Marina & the Diamonds this week.

Smiles

I can't even express how much I love children right now.

They are so enthusiastic and cute.

It just makes me happy.

P.S. I've watched the little girl in the first video say "oh my goodness" probably 30 times and I melt every time. Little kids, man.

Green grass

Remember 9 days ago when I promised to blog more?

That was probably a silly thing for me to do.

Blogging is real hard sometimes.

But I'm pretty obsessed with this cover by Joshua James.

"Lay your head where my heart used to be...

...remember when you loved me."

I'm a total sucker for sad love songs like this.

I'm alive...kinda

Every new year I tell myself that I'll blog more.

But guys, I'm serious this time.

To start of 2013 (a week late) I will talk about some new things in my life.

1. I moved back to PG and enrolled at UVU. I am so happy that I'm not in Logan right now.

2. I started knitting and totally suck but think it's fun. I hope to be able to make myself socks one day.

3. I am obsessed with beanies this winter season but only have one that I like wearing. It's a problem because I can only wear it like twice a week without looking homeless.

4. I went to a concert with Ruthie and co. Although it was zero degrees I had so much fun and I have new friends!!

5. Jake and I have been dating for a year and a half. For my Christmas present he actually stalked my Pinterest account and ordered a necklace that I had pinned. He's so cute.

I'm ridiculously happy with my life right now.

Bring it 2013.

Smush

I'm terribly in love with this mashup.

Outweighed

I am going to be back in Utah Valley in 1.5 weeks!!

Lets make a list of things I'm going to miss about Logan.

• Maddy
• Jorge
• Kim
• Alissa
• Pizza Plus. A little.

Now lets make a list of things I will not miss about Logan.

• The devil roommate.
• My little bunk bed that I sometimes hit my head on.
• My family, friends, and boyfriend (because I'll be with them so they won't be missed!)
• The tiny, yucky, cluttered shower and bathroom.
• The toilet that is so short I'm convinced it's for elves.
• Parking outside.
• Not having a dishwasher.
• The sleepless nights.
• Having to pay to do the laundry.
• Only eating cereal because I'm lazy.
• Watching shows by myself.
• My stupid major.
• The slooooowest internet.
• Basically everything.

It's not like I'm going to live at home forever.

But I'm extremely excited to be with my family again for a while.

See ya, Logan.

Ps. I love gifs of cute animals.

My groove

I put in my two weeks at work today.

It's bitter sweet because working at Pizza Plus was probably one of my 

favorite things about living in Logan.

But I am moving back to Utah county in 2.5 weeks!

I'm ridiculously excited to get into my video production program

and to live closer to my friends and family again.

Yay for happiness!

Stars

Less than a month people.

Surprises

I just applied to UVU for the spring semester.

Surprise!

I'm in the International Studies program right now and it just doesn't seem right.

On top of that, I miss my family, friends, and boyfriend.

So I'm transferring and going into Digital Media with an emphasis in Cinema Production.

I. Am. Excited.

I had always thought about doing something in digital media because 

I love editing and making videos.

But I convinced myself that it wouldn't be practical.

What kind of jobs would I be able to get?

After doing something I wasn't passionate about for a semester I decided to 

throw practicality out the window and chose something that made me happy and excited.

And guess what?

I'm probably the most happy and excited I've been in months.

So here's to positive change and to the future.

And here's my favorite cover of the week.

This is my life

Story time.

So I had just gotten into the shower. Just gotten my whole body and head of hair wet, when the fire alarm went off. I live on campus and they have this rule that the whole building needs to evacuate in the case of a fire, or in the case of idiot boys on the third floor. I quickly decided that I did not want to go outside soaking wet so I turned off the water and was on my way to turning off the bathroom lights when there was a knock on the door. The building RA had gotten to our room really fast and caught me. She told me I needed to come outside like everyone else. I moaned a little bit, squeezed some water out of my hair, grabbed my towel, and reluctantly followed her into the cold. We were one of the last ones out and I heard a little gasp among the crowd as I walked toward them. Then my annoying roommate chimed in exclaiming, "Haha OMG she's in her towel!! Lololol." (That's how she sounds in my mind). So there I stood for like 8 minutes with a bunch of strangers. My hair was dripping and by the time we were let back in you could tell where I had been standing thanks to a little puddle. It wasn't terrible, I didn't feel awkward or anything, my ears were just so cold! And I wanted to smack a couple people that were whining about the chilling wind.

So there ya go.
An other exciting day in the life of Katie.
Jealous?

Goats

Goats are way weird.

But they make me laugh.

The truth is

I hate living in Logan.

When I first moved here I was excited and hopeful that 

I'd make so many new friends, I'd have great experiences, I'd love my classes.

Sadly, that is not the case.

I tried to be outgoing for the first month.

I went to dances, barbecues, bingo nights, pancake parties, study groups.

But it just became hard.

I have never been that person that befriends everyone in the room.

I've had the same best friends since 8th grade.

And I miss them. I miss my boyfriend. I miss my family.

So much.

I didn't realize how hard it would be to leave the people I love.

Everyday seems worse than the last.

Maybe I'm being dramatic.

Maybe I've given up too early.

All I know is that my heart has been hurting for the past three months.

So here I am.

Alone. Depressed. Passionless. Angry
My eyes are red and blotchy as I write this post.

Longing for the place I call home and the people I cherish.

Nononono

November.

I can't believe it's November!

In celebration, here are somethings from Pinterest that I love.

I laughed way too hard at this for way too long

This is not even a joke.

This is how I feel about that fact that it's almost socially acceptable to play Christmas music.

This is probably the cutest Christmas decoration ever.

I'm so doing it on November 23rd.

Thinking of you

Jake let me take pictures with him.

Guys, this never happens.

Ever.

I was pretty stoked.

They are on my ipod so terrible quality.

But I will love them forever!

Also, this song has been stuck in my head for two days.

I love it.

React please

So there is this girl I blog stalk a little.

Mostly because she is dating my (kind of) ex.

They're cute together and everything.

I'm not jealous because I have Jake who is 1000000000x better in my opinion. 

Duh.

But every time she mentions him I wanna be like,

"I kissed him first."

Just to see their reaction.

Sometimes I think I live for funny reactions.

Of course I'd never say that.

But if it wasn't rude I might say that.

For the reaction guys.

Also, my hairs are straight.

Let the double takes begin.

Not Complaining

I was going to make a list of things that are good in the previous post since all I did was whine but I thought it should just be a new post.

There are positive things in my life people.

1. I have decided on a major! I'm an International Studies girl.

I'm really excited about this because now I feel like I have a purpose up here. 

And one of the classes I'm taking now counts toward it though I didn't know what I would be doing when I signed up for it. 

That was a nice, happy surprise.

2. My bridesmaid dress for the wedding is really pretty.

It's fun to feel exceptionally pretty every once in a while.

3. My bed is wayy too comfortable.

4. I get to be with all my favorite people for the majority of this week. 

That never happens.

5. Jake stares at me while we watch movies with love in his eyes then kisses my cheek.

It's probably the cutest thing ever.

6. I had sushi on Friday and it was magical. Magically delicious.

7. I have the best mom in the world.

I guess my complains and non-complains even out.

Life is pretty great.

One can always find things to be happy about.

Complaining

My brother is getting married this week!

And do you know what?

I get to be in Pleasant Grove for almost 5 whole days.

I'm super happy because it's starting to suck up here.

Reasons:

1. I'm thinking that my roommate steals my clothes when I'm gone.

2. Also thinking that she had sex on my bed this weekend.

3. Alsoo thinking that she steals my favorite pomegranate chocolates from Costco.

4. Someone used the rest of my coconut coffee creamer that I use for pina coladas.

These people don't even drink coffee.

5. It's getting cold. And it's getting cold in PG too but at least I have a fire place there.

6. I don't have a fire place.

7. I miss my family and my boyfriend and Shalla.

The End.
