It's finally snowing in Rexburg! And it's coming down hard.

I think every time I see these guys I think of our trip to California. We had stopped at a gas station somewhere in Merced and I asked one of my sisters, "Where are we?" ( I think I was 9 at the time) and she said, " Mexico". I looked around and all I saw were Mexicans and taco stands and markets. I think that for a couple years after that I would tell people that I visited family in Mexico.

I found this the other day and I couldn't stop laughing. School is going good, I have been really busy this last week. It feels like this week is my mid-terms because the work load is crazy! I read a book called Battle hymn of the Tiger Mother. Good book, Crazy woman, semi-crazed kids. Other than that it was pretty good. I talked to a Chinese guy at school and he said that some parents are like that and some aren't in China. So don't think all Chinese mothers are like that.

Blueberry Syrup

I was trying to focus on getting some homework done last night but I overheard in the kitchen that they were going to throw away blueberries that no one wanted to eat. So I sprung up and, I really don't know why, but the first thought in my head to do with them was "make syrup!" so I did. 

Granted this is a guy's apt. We didn't have the luxury of all the culinary tools needed so I had to improvise a little. Fortunately all you need for syrup is, water, some blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

 I didn't have a strainer or a smasher guy so I used the small holed side of a cheese grater and relatively flat spoon. I later switched to a butter knife.

 It wasn't giving me all the juice it could so I flipped it on its side where the holes were a bigger and I continued to press.

 Added the water and sugar, and brought it back to a boil. It said that I needed a candy thermometer to bring it to 225 degrees but come on people, how hard is it to recognize when it's become syrupy?

                                                                         Nuff said.

lol thats about all I got out of those few blueberries I had. I don't think I did too bad granted I eyeballed the recipe and used maybe a cup of blueberries instead of the half pound it called for. Now I just need to put it on some pancakes. For now it is sitting in a gatorade bottle in the fridge lol.

Oh Boise...

HAHA I bet they are at Camels Back Park.

funny FB status

I saw that my friend posted this, he said that he found it on pintrest lol. I think it sums up the way I feel about some people sometimes. haha " Some people need a high five.....to the face.....with a chair" 

Happy Valentines day everyone

Happy Valentines day! aka singles awareness day or as my friend Andrew Brimhall informed me, "Arizona pride" day. Whatever that is. I got a valentines from Mom and Dad and it was much needed. I kind of felt like I was being incepted because I read the line "Mom and Dad" and I had a jolt of memory as to who I was and where I came from and where I am going after the semester ends. lol like the card was my totem that I have to open to make sure that I'm not dreaming. But that would mean I would have to replace the monetary factor back inside the card each time as well....hmm maybe I'll just read the card instead. Things are going good here, I am in the process of getting all my internship junk figured out and will soon be starting the fundraising process. Cross your fingers and say your prayers that I raise enough. It snowed for the second time in Rexburg this semester but melted by mid-day. I'm not complaining haha. 

This sums up my efforts thus far but who's to say my luck won't change right?

A long past due update

Ok everyone, it has been a long time and much has happened in the life of myself ( trust me, I would know) so if you like doing things that you enjoy, this post will do it.

I was hit. Everyone is just fine. I can't tell you how grateful I am that the person who hit me was so nice, this whole thing has gone so smoothly that the load has been lighter. 

I got the golden elephant. I think that Kristin and Kenley have it actually but it was suggested that I send it to Kaitlyn. I am seeing a personal trainer, my roommates are great, semi addicted to Story Teller by Jim Henson on Netflix, love work and all its craziness, I am playing on an indoor rec team at BYU-I and it is a great escape from accounting so I don't care if we win or lose; I am just happy to play. As of last week I have been exposed to flavor blasted cheddar gold fish and I have gone through 3 bags by myself... any questions or comments will and can be addressed/ answered upon request.
