Brigham City Temple

     Today, my roommates and a few of the boys upstairs went to the Brigham City Temple open house.  I've been to around four of these now and I wasn't expecting this one to be as pretty as Oquirrh Mountain or Draper, but I was amazed.  I loved it!  Everything about it was gorgeous and ornate.  My favorite room was easily the sealing room.  The sun was shining in through the curtains and made the room seem like it was glittering.  I can't even describe the feeling I had while walking through.  I'm so excited for the day when I can go to the temple and be sealed to my husband, but that won't be for at least three years.  I love to see the temple!

And Yes... He's Single!

     So, my poor friend Gage Michael Thomas has never had a girlfriend...  So start pulling out your handkerchiefs (or tissues if you're like me and think handkerchiefs are gross) now, you'll need them for the tale I'm going to tell.

If you like sassiness, then Gage is your man.

     Gage Thomas, although he has dashing good looks and could charm any girl into joining the "tool box", has never kissed a girl.  He's never even held the hand of a girl he likes.  I know, it's enough to bring any caring soul to tears.  It has gotten so bad, that Gage has resorted to liking sophomores in high school...   But don't let this scare you off.  Gage is a well-dressed, well-groomed, attractive young man who enjoys playing the piano, watching Parks and Recreation, hanging out with his best friend Megan Hadley, playing tennis, and throwing Mexican fiesta.  Gage loves babies...  (and when I say love, I mean that I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a news report of him kidnapping a few tightly swaddled new born babies.)

    Another plus about him, he's super slender.  He is probably one of the skinniest people I know and he has such a hot bod!

    Gage puts his seductive skills to work.  He is a potential strip club owner and an aspiring pole dancer.  He's always up for a good time!

      And last, but not least.  He's very smart.  If you date this kid, you'll be getting a steady income of $10,000 a year with his high school diploma.

   
       If you're interested on giving this sweetie his first kiss, let me know and I can hook you up.  He's my best friend and he really is a catch.  Love ya, Gagiepoo!

Moving Away

     Wow...  Who would have guessed the time to move away has already come and gone.  I'm officially a resident of Logan, Utah!  I know, no one expected me to actually make it this far.  Logan truly is a beautiful city and I absolutely love living here!

     But beginning my move was not easy.  I was leaving everything behind, my friends, family, job, and home.       The past eighteen years in Layton have treated me exceptionally well and it was hard to say goodbye.  The day before I left, my friends and I had a massive Harry Potter movie marathon.  Needless to say, I arrived at Gage Thomas' house at four in the morning and only left a few times until eleven o'clock at night.  Most would say this was a waste of a perfectly good Friday, but I loved it!  I got to spend time with all of my very best friends who I love dearly and miss more than I can possibly say.  I even started crying towards the end of the movie knowing that it was my last night with all of them.

    The next day, I invited my friends over for lunch so that I could say goodbye before I left.  I may not have cried then, but my heart was breaking as I hugged all of them goodbye.  These have been the friends who buoyed up my life over the past two years and I'm still struggling with not seeing them everyday.  But the time arrived when I had to leave my life in Layton and go off on my new adventure.

I love this picture for a lot of reasons...  Austen, you're one 

of them.

 Gage has been one of my very best friends for the past

 two years.  He's so masculine...  

 We've been friends since the first grade.  I love my little Austen!

 Devin's dumb and wouldn't let me get a good picture of him...

 For example.

 i h8 her.  jk lol,  ily

We're pretty much brother and sister.  And we will

 probably never stop making fun of each other.  Ever.

 Legs.

 A gaggle of legs.

 Oh Cameron...

 Finally I got him to take a picture with me.  It's only

been four days and I miss him more than I can express.

   And the adventure happened!  I moved into my apartment in Wasatch Hall #203.  There are ants and a few bugs, the bathroom growls, the toilet occasionally doesn't work, and most of our outlets are closer to the ceiling than the floor, but I love it.  It already feels like home!  And just to make sure I wasn't feeling lonesome, my very best friend Hunter Amanda Jensen stayed the night with me on Sunday to Monday and oh, what a glorious time we had. 

 Walking around the Logan Cemetery at night...

Sketch.  Mrs. Crosquit.

Pretty much the most beautiful

temple. 

I've missed my best friend this summer and having her come

up was a life saver!

    After Hunter left, I had to get prepped for my calculus refresher course.  To put it lightly, it's about five straight hours of He...(you can fill in the last two letters.)  I still have the rest of the week with it, but hey, at least there are cute RMs in the class.

 My dorm room!

 Yeah...  My hallway either looks like the scene of a murder

or a prison.

 My living room after a little remodeling.

 The kitch.

 I am an Aggie!

   

    Luckily, I'm still keeping in touch with my friends.  I've talked to Hunter on the phone for 2-3 hours, Gage for 2 hours, and Devin for about 5 hours. I'm never losing touch with them!

Devin likes to skype shirtless...
