"Weekend of Projects"

Well this weekend could definitely be themed the "Weekend of Projects." Jake and I have both had major projects to work on this week and both of them are due tomorrow morning!

Jake's project is for his History of Creativity class. He had to be "creative" and create any project on any subject that they covered in class. Jake, being the Chinese man that he is, decided to due his on Taoism (I pronounce is Dowism:). As you can see in the picture it is all about the ying-yang. He has been enjoying this project. He has also been working really hard on it.

My project is for my Living Prophets class. For the assignment we had to read a minimun of 45 conference talks while highlighting each and every topic discussed. After identifying the topics we had to transfer them to topic sheets. We had to have a minimum of 75 topic sheets. (I think I ended up with about 130.) Anyways...it was a grueling project and I am SO glad that it is done!

Now we just have to deal with finals.............................

I Love to See the Temple

I absolute love the temple! Jake and I are now temple workers and today was our first day...it was an amazing experience. It was such a peaceful feeling to sit in the temple for over five hours and realize God's love for each of his children. I am so grateful that we have a temple so close to us. It is within walking distance of our apartment and we can see the angel Moroni when we take walks around the block.

One of my very good friends got married today and I was in the Provo temple doing temple work while she was in Salt Lake City doing her own work. I just had the most peaceful feeling sweep over me and I knew that the temple is the best, and only place, to get married! :)

I'm Feelin' a Little Loopy

Hey Everyone! So tonight I am feelin' a little loopy. I just got home from work (Guest Services at the Wilkinson Center) and let's just say I didn't do as much work as I should have. :) I pretty much just had a dance party with Ali and Jenny who were sitting at a blue curtain. Wow, I probably shouldn't be put as supervisor anymore....but what they hey! It was fun...:) I came home and Jake was working on his class project. He made an arch out of sugar cubes...so what do I do? I pop one in my mouth and let it just melt right there. Then I reach inside the fridge to find a nice, cold Dr. Pepper waiting for me!!! I swear I could hear it calling my name. Anyway, I had about two glasses worth of that bad boy and decided to blog. So it's 12:00 at night and I am not even tired. However, my body feels all funny and my eyes are kind of twitching.....but other than that I am GREAT!!!!!!! Oooh, Jake's gettin' the Dr. Pepper out again. See ya!

Bummer.

My New Laptop!!!

Yes, you all read the title correctly! I am now corresponding via my new and amazing Dell Laptop! And, it's green just like in the picture! :) This is my Christmas present from Jake. (Yes, I opened it early....) Now the only question is what in the world am I going to get HIM for Christmas?

In other news, I voted today for the very first time ever. It was quite exciting and I must admit that I had no idea what the heck some of the stuff I was voting for meant. The only thing I remember is that Dell "SuperDell" the weirdo from all of the commercials was running for something. Bizarre. I am now watching the Blue color spread across the map of the United States. I hate politics.

But....I HAVE A LAPTOP!!! :)

I Am Literally Going Crazy

Well just like Rihanna in her new fantastic song, Disturbia, my Doctrine and Covenants paper "is making me crazy!" It is totally and completely consuming my life. I can't sleep, I can't think straight, I can't eat, oh wait, I have been eating just fine. (A complete bag of Spicier Nacho Doritos to be exact.) Nevertheless, it is consuming my life. I am only on page 8 of the 10-15 page paper. I have six verses left to comment on and I am quickly running out of sources to use. Well I guess I must get back to writing the dumb thing...Hey! One good thing is that it is now time for my to refill my bowl of delicious Dorito snacks! Hmmm....now my only question is cooler ranch or should I stick with the original nacho? :)

Warning: This Post Could Make You Sick

So I have decided that you cannot fully state that you are a married woman until you have used your husband's toothbrush without realizing it. I know, I know, that's disgusting but it indeed happened last night. I have been sick and barely conscious after the hours of 9:00pm and so instead of grabbing my own yellow toothbrush I grabbed his green toothbrush and furiously brushed. Ten minutes later I hear from the bathroom...."Um, Lauren? What color was the toothbrush you used to brush your teeth?" Apparently, his green toothbrush was completely wet while my yellow toothbrush was dry as a bone. So now I can say with true conviction that I am married to Jake! :)
