14 Things on the 14th

I seem to have a lot on my mind right now.  Maybe, if I blog it all out it will stop circulating around my cerebral hemispheres and I will get some sleep!  

1.  Super homesick lately.  I have been seeing everyone post absolutely gorgeous pictures of Utah in all its fall splendor.  One of my favorite times of year - dad's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, crisp autumn air, hoodies, hot chocolate, scary movies (okay, scary movies I mostly stopped watching because my husband doesn't like them, and when he leaves I really just can't handle myself.  I digress). Long story short, I love Utah fall.  

2.  Feeling some measure of disappointment in my football team as of late.  If you don't know I am a cougars fan, you can probably just stop reading now. : )  I had much higher expectations for the cougars this year and they have disappointed.  I still love them though. 

 
Hopefully they pick up their game for the remainder of the season!

3.  Lots of gratitude for great friends.  Had some dinner with our good friends the Aubrey's yesterday.  Rachel is my workout buddy - I swear if it weren't for her my happy butt would miss many a good workout!

4. Random story... So my bff in Utah, Emilie recently got engaged to her man Landon (SO happy and excited for them).  Anyway, Landon told me if I ever came across an Elder Sorensen serving here in Hawaii to tell him hi, because they were great friends.  Elder Sorensen just got transferred to our ward here in Moanalua!  Such a small world.  He was so happy to hear about Landon and Emilie and I have to show him some pictures next time.  Love when things like that happen.

5.  Feeling a little bit of work stress.  Right now I am torn between 2 jobs.  Job A pays 15.50/hr, but is inconsistent with hours and unrelated to my degree.  Job B pays 12/hr, is related to my field, and a perfect schedule.  Gah.  

6.
                                     

This... should never happen.  Blasphemy.  

7.  Roll Tide!  Despite my favorite team's lackluster appearance, Bama is doing great.  I am enjoying cheering them on as they work their way to what looks like another national title.  The crimson tide is fun to follow and their fan base is crazy.  and I love it. 

8. I am so excited for Breaking Dawn part 2 to come out!  I am in love with the twilight series.  Hate away. 

9.  General Conference was great last weekend... and still is great.  I am enjoying listening to the talks in my car on the way to and from work and it definitely makes a difference in my day when I take the time to listen to our leaders and ponder the wonderful counsel they have for us. 

10.  The debates.  The election.  Get involved!  Whatever your viewpoint, where ever you stand politically, learn about your candidates and vote.  It's going to be a pivotal year and I am getting super excited.  

11.  Emilie and Landon's wedding!!  I am so excited to go back to Utah in March and see my best friend go through the temple and be sealed.  Awesome. 

12.  School is absolutely insane!  My favorite class is Pathophysiology - the study of disease - and it's tough.  But so interesting. 


13.
So cute and so easy!                                  
Latest pinterest project - SUPER cheap cell phone cases!  And you can change them out yourself whenever you want (all you do is get a clear case, and cut your designed paper to fit in the back!)  LOVE when I find budget ways to be crafty! 







14.  This man.  The best. : )
