a pet peeve, an update, and an important, exciting announcement.

2012-01-19T22:54:00.000-08:00

Hello people who read this! And if you are new, welcome to my little world where I say whatever I want and get away with it. So I have this pet peeve and recently it is driving me crazy. What the heck is up with people and Facebook and posting a status every hour of their day? Three words. GET A LIFE. Also, what the heck is up with people’s negative, pity party statuses alllllll the time? I mean, come on! Be happy! Seems like all I read on my news feed lately are people feeling bad for themselves and telling it to everyone on the internet. Here’s what I have to say to them: Life is not easy. Get over it. Stuff happens, so make the best of it. A person consciously chooses how he or she will act to the obstacles they experience. Here’s a quote from President Hinckley. He says it better, kinder, and with more patience: “In all of life have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” Now let’s all be happy please. And if you are going through a hard time, talk to someone about it. We all have a friend or a family member (and if you don’t, talk to me, I will gladly listen and try to help). So talk to them about it instead of posting it for everyone in the world to see. K Thanks.

I went to Hawaii for Christmas! A fun family vacation was the best Christmas present ever! We stayed at some way fun resorts, took our jeep through the jungle, and bummed on the beach. Here’s some pictures.

Last item of business, I have an announcement to make. So if you have been following my blog for for a while you might remember a post called “10 things I want”. And I posted this picture:

Wellllll… this particular thing that I wanted is actually happening. Yep, you read correctly. IT IS HAPPENING. I am going on a mission. My mission papers are in! I am waiting to receive my call and I am freaking out. I feel so blessed to be able to go, and I can’t wait to serve the Lord wherever he sends me. Now, to tie back in to the beginning of this post and being happy… the main thing that makes me happy is the gospel. The gospel literally means “good news”. The message of the gospel is happy one with forever families, a Savior, and a God who knows us personally, loves us, and wants us to return to Him. And I cannot wait to share that when I go on my mission. I just want to add some lyrics to a certain primary song that I has been stuck in my head.

"I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know who I am, I Know God's plan, I'll follow Him in faith. I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ. I'll honor His name. I'll do what is right, I'll follow His light. His truth I will proclaim!" (Hopefully those are the right words, all from childhood memory) Thank you everyone for being such supportive friends and family. Loves.

Finals Week

2011-12-08T18:34:00.001-08:00

Yep, it's true what they say... it SUCKS. I am so ready for Christmas break. This is the time of the year you think, "yes, I am going to be a successful human being." Or it's like a slap in the face and a punch to the stomach that says, "yep, you wasted this semester, and you are kind of slow." But no matter which way it goes, it is always stressful. So to my fellow college students out there that think, "oh please let these couple weeks go by quick, because this SUCKS", good luck. Get your game face on and get ish done! Kick your final exam's butts and show school who's boss.

said game face. Happy cramming!!

Here's some sketchy French for ya. (with no accents)

2011-10-09T23:14:00.000-07:00

Christiaan habite a la Afrique. Il est patient amusant poli interessant et occupe. Il est un missionaire de l'Eglise de Jesus Christ des Saints des Dernier Jours. Je suis heureuse d'être sa petite amie. Nous sommes mignons. ... well that's all I got. Here's one of my favorite pictures.

Wisdom Tooth

2011-09-16T12:38:00.001-07:00

I got my wisdom tooth out. Yes, wisdom TOOTH. I only had one. Lucky me! But I did get put to sleep and I did get a little loopy!

ASU girl

2011-08-20T17:13:00.000-07:00

I just transferred to ASU and I love it so far! This shirt is actually for Christiaan (aka- “Just Do It” guy) I thought I would get him one to represent his best friend at ASU! So far I’d have to say my favorite thing is Institute! I love the church! That’s it :)

Christiaan Henri Charles

2011-08-08T22:55:00.001-07:00

So I have this best friend... and I miss him. I miss him a lot. He has been on his mission for six weeks now and will be off to Africa in three weeks. I just want to post some pictures of us throughout our friendship, because although we have been together, we both agree that our friendship is the most important thing. One of my most favorite things about him is that he always has my back. I can count on him for anything... literally anything. He knows exactly what to say to me to help me.. even if it's not what I want to hear. He knows exactly what to do to to pick me up when I'm down. He helps my weaknesses become strengths. He has been an amazing friend, boyfriend, example, and influence. He is and will always be my best friend. And I love him to death. This is Christiaan Schmid.

I have a fetish.

2011-05-26T11:07:00.000-07:00

For those of you who are around me constantly know what it is. Cheetah print. (or leopard print) I don’t know why I have this obsession other than it comes from my mother. What can I say, I AM her daughter. Animal print is a staple in my closet and it is on rare occasion that I don’t incorporate it in my outfit choices. To me cheetah print is a neutral it goes with anything. Most people have a favorite color. Mine is purple. But I also have a favorite print. Cheetah. Backpacks, cardigans, bean bags, check book, wallet, dresses, purses, high heels, jewelry, socks, umbrella, t-shirts,school supplies, swim suits, and now my newest addition luggage; yep, I have it all in cheetah print. I think it is safe to say I am completely and totally OBSESSED.

We have matching cheetah swim suits. Kind of a big deal.

I want.

Austria chior tour. Please not the umbrella and backpack strap.

Homecoming.

Graduation present from my momma. She has good taste :)

I think it would take me years to upload all the pictures of cheetah print things I wore and want and love. So there you go. That's my fetish.

I Have A Theory

2011-02-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

So this is my theory... read closely this could get confusing. Color is a weird thing. Some of you are probably saying, "what is Alex smoking...peyote??" but really think about it. White is the absence of color, black is every color. And when you look at things you are actually seeing the one color that isn't there. And really nothing is actually colored, it is just the color that reflects off whatever object you are looking at. Trippy!! And also, when you are a kid, you learn your colors right? Well my theory is that everyone's eyes are different. So what if we see colors differently?? So one person's green could be another's purple. But they both call it green because that's what they were taught as kids. And one person's yellow could be another person's pink. But again, they both call it yellow because that is all they've ever known. Hey it's possible!! So ponder that one eh?

All of these thoughts came about in my dance production class when my instructor was talking about lighting a stage for different moods of dances. He drew a color wheel on the board and was talking about which colors make what, and what colors are opposites of each other. Then, he proceeded to tell us that red and green make yellow. Um no. That makes brown. Hopefully he intended to say blue and yellow make green, because yellow is a primary color. You can't just make that one. Here's a color wheel to prove my point.

yup.

I Feel Weird.

2011-02-01T21:55:00.001-08:00

I am going to be 20 tomorrow. I feel oooold. No longer will I say the word "teen" when talking about my age. wowwww...

2011. It's gunna be GREAT!

2011-01-27T16:20:00.000-08:00

Well hello my followers!! Once again I have left you hangin' with nothing to read over the past months. Ah well... you will get over it, and here is a new post just for you! First of all, I must say that Christmas break was rockin'. All of my friends that left me for Utah and Idaho came back and we partied hard.

Also, to start off this fabulous year of 2011, for my birthday (coming up in a couple weeks. yes I will be 20. weird.) my mama took me to San Francisco. Why San Fran you ask? BECAUUUUSE, The Pulse was there for the weekend and I got a chance to attend. For those of you who are totally confused, The Pulse is a dance convention with the following staff: Mia Michaels, Dave Scott, Tyce Diorio, Wade Robson, Chris Judd, and some other amazing genius people. And yes, I got to take class from all of them!!! It was for sure one of the best experiences in dance that has ever happened to me. Although I was so sore I could barely move my body when it was over, I learned some things. 1) I need to be more confident in myself because I am capable of anything I set my mind to. 2) I learned some really difficult and physically demanding choreography. 3) To keep going even when your body wants to stop, its all mental. 4) I learned that I would not be where I am today without my mom in dance or anything else. She taught me since I could walk to not only dance my heart out, but to be a good person, serve others, and to be the best I can be always. I hope she is proud of me because that is all I want... to make her proud.

Oh so focused.

Me with Miss Mia. She is hilarious! I have a new found respect for her.

Me with Dave Scott. LOVE HIM! can you tell by the abnormally huge smile on my face? YEAH.

So there's some pictures for you to take a looksie at! Also, I am in my last semester at MCC to get my dance degree!! WOW that went by so fast... but I am still a busy girl teaching 21 hours a week at the Dance Barn and taking 20 credit hours at school! LIFE IS GOOOOOOD :)

'Tis the Season

2010-11-24T07:41:00.000-08:00

THIS is my most favorite time of year. Why you ask?? Because you get to dress up (and act like a complete goober), stuff your face (and be thankful), and open fun presents! (and celebrate the birth of Christ of course). It is just awesome. Have you noticed that this time of year even has a different smell outside?? Because it does!! I love the smell of fall/winter (these seasons are the same in AZ). Also there are lots of fun things to do outside because its not so bloody hot anymore!! so here are some fun things I've been up to this semester...

I went to the state fair with my best friend, whale mate, and sister, Keri. Behind us... the exact stage we used to dance and perform every year. The last time we danced here was 7 years ago. Tender moments walking by that stage...

Bowling night with my Jana and Jeremiah!! Always fun. Bowling and fun people. Doesn't get any better than that.

Christiaan and I had the best costumes EVER this year! He was riding a horse and I was riding and ostrich. We went trick-or-treating at one house... Nana Sue's. And Keri, Craig, and Kaitlyn came over to eat chili and corn bread and to play games!! So fun!

Went to San Tan Flats with the funnest people in town. Can you tell we're best friends?? Cause we are :)

My dance recital was successful even though I was sick through the whole thing. The hard work paid off for suuuure..

And lastly, a bit of good news.. I am 3/4 finished with my associates degree in fine arts/dance!! YESSSSS!!!! that is all!

And pretty soon my seester, Erika, will drive him. So don't you worry, he will get some lovin'. And he has a new friend... JOSIE!!!This is us chillin in my driveway. Don't we look fun! 'cause we are!

So Long Sweet Summer...

2010-09-12T19:39:00.000-07:00

This post is about my summer. Long story short, I was in California with family and friends for most of it, and it was AWESOME. Just a warning... this post is lengthy so I tried to keep it short and sweet and let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

This is me and my sweet family after doing baptisms in the Sacramento Temple.

We finally got to see my Grandma and Grandpa on their mission and what they do and where they are working. They are so fun!

I stole my Grandpa Pete's shoes to wear outside, I modeled his sneakers and he pointed his toe. Just proof of how fun he is. I love him dearly, even when he teases me.

We went to the Sequioa National Forest and saw some B.A.T.'s. Big A Trees. This happens to be the largest one in the world. Erika and I modeled it "The Price is Right" style.

We drove through a tree too. That doesn't happen everyday.

We journeyed on to San Francisco where we saw Geeardello's square, as my Grandpa calls it.(Ghirardelli Square) and drove under the Golden Gate Bridge! This is us doing the classic leg pop. So great.

Oh and we just HAD to stop at Boudin Bistro for lunch. It is the best sourdough you can get ANYWHERE. And they make it in fun sea creature shapes for display :)

After seeing my grandparents in Sacramento, we drove through Stockton which is Elder Tyler Pete's mission but was not able to see him... darn it. But I know he was hard at work. We then came here to San Simeon to see Hearst Castle! (I was so happy about this because this was definitely something on my bucketlist!) Here we are in front of the Neptune pool.

We took strolls down the San Simeon beach right by our hotel. It was perfection!! (aren't we cute!!?? we think so)

After California with my family, we went camping at Big Lake, Arizona. I am convinced it's the most beautiful place on Earth. This is a picture of sisterly lovin' in the wilderness.

OH LOOK! I'm in California again!

We had fun at the beach in Huntington and Laguna!!

We had some adventures in LA and ended up having dinner at this awesome restaurant. Two words.. mechanical bull.

I also experienced sweet potatoe fries in an oh so delicious marshmellow dipping sauce. YEAH.

We also saw some funny things. Viva SB1070!

I had my very first beach bon fire with Hannah's sister, Aimee, and her family. Which, by the way, she let us stay in her home, she fed us the most amazing food all week, and introduced me to my new favorite card game.

And to top it all off, we saw the weinermobile on the way home. WHAT A SUCCESSFUL TRIP!!

Now, I am back to school and although I am working all the time and dancing my butt off... I love it. But I will admit that I listened to "So Long Sweet Summer" by Dashboard and cried a little before school started. But now I am teaching and dancing again, I feel alot happier. It is my antidepressant :) So bring it on sophomore year!!

10 Things I Want

2010-08-03T18:55:00.000-07:00

1. Let's start off with shoes shall we. I want these really bad. But I'm waiting 'til they go on sale. And when they do go on sale... their mine. I am a bargain shopper.

2. Now, some of you may find this disgusting but its reality. I am NOT one of those people who doesn't groom and tend to their feet, but as a dancer (especially jazz /contemporary) I dont wear shoes when I dance. This causes dry feet that crack at times. I have a feeling this might help. Some people think products like these "as seen on TV" are bogus.. but I really want to try it and see if it cures my "dancer's feet".

3. A nectarine from California. They are my favorite thing to eat. I had one from the farmer's market in Sacramento, and then I had one from the WalMart by my house... doesn't even compare.

4. To go to New York. I've never been there in my life and I want to go there to take dance classes.

5. For Keri to come home. I miss her, and I have found out that I am happier when she is around.

6. More shoes. I want to be able to pull these off. Sadly, I can't. Believe me, I've tried them, on many occasions, I look like a freak. But I can still wish it right?

7. To go on a mission one day.

8. To go skydiving one day and not chicken out. I have a feeling I would, but I'd make someone push me.

9. To be able to do this. Yes, I secretly want to be a break dancer... don't judge.

10. To get married in this temple someday.

Thats all :)

Hello from California!!

2010-07-27T22:12:00.000-07:00

YOOO!! I am in California with the fam right now! It has been so great. We've been to Huntington and Laguna beach, the Newport temple, many delicious restaurants, and more. My family is so entertaining. If you know them, you know what I'm talking about (Nana included). This trip would not be half as fun without my Nana Sue. She just had her 70th birthday and looks nowhere near that age. She is BEAUTIFUL! And funny. She doesn't know this, but she really is. Nana has a slight twang in her voice so we have fun imitating her when she says "and we just took off like scalded rats!" or "chow down kids" or my personal favorite, "hell, I don't know!" But the best is when she dances in our hotel room to the songs on the commericals. Let me put it this way... she is a riot! Not only is she my nana, but she's my friends' nana too. And thats the truth. She is one of the people that I look up to the most, because she is such a great influence and example. I love you Nana. Here's a picture of us girls at the temple!! Families are forever.

...and now we are off to Sacramento!

ps- I want to thank all the people who actually read and say you are awesome for reading this blog that probably isn't THAT interesting. But hey, I have fun doing it. So if you enjoy it, you rock.

update.

2010-07-22T10:44:00.000-07:00

HEY COOL KIDS!! so here's the deal-io, I have been doing nothing with my life since dance ended for the rest of summer and I've been dying. Yes dying. Longest two weeks of my life. But, guessss whaaaat!??? I am going on vacation for the next month. HOLLA!!! Don't be too jealous. But you can be a little jealous. I'm going to the beach in Newport with the fam and then up to Sacramento to see my grandparents on their mission! (and hopefully the wonderful Elder Tyler Pete Arnett as well). Then I get to go to Big Lake for a family reunion which by the way is one of my most favorite places on this earth. After that, I'm going to Huntington with my girls Carolyn and Hannah. TT!!!! This next four weeks is going to be the bomb.com. Thats all. MUAHHH!!!!

Love,

me.

So I know this probably looks really reallllly lame, but I think my dogs, Duke and Dazy, are awesome. And cute :) So I took some pictures of them... don't judge because I know you all think they are cute too. Don't even deny it.

Bad Blogger.

2010-06-19T10:53:00.000-07:00

WAZZZZZZUUUPPPPPP. So yes I know I haven't updated in a while. But, I'm really okay with it. That just means I am busy doing more fun things then documenting my life on the internet. Cynical? Nahhh...So summer has been great, other than the fact that I get up at six every morning for ballet. However, the technique training is really helping me, so I shouldn't complain. I have two great jobs that also keep me busy. Which is good, I need the moola. So I am going to shut up now and share some pictures of things I've been doing. Word.

shout out to tyler pete

2010-05-09T17:24:00.001-07:00

So this is my friend Tyler Pete Arnett. He is one of my best friends and he is leaving on his mission in a couple days. And fact of the matter I am going to miss his guts. Really, I think I might cry when I have to say goodbye to this guy. Even though he would steal toys from me and push me down in nursery when we were kids, I still have the deepest respect for him. He is the most honest, trustworthy, honorable, and steadfast person I know. He also happens to be HILARIOUS and the most fun person I've had the pleasure of hanging out with. (We give him the credit for our music videos being so funny). I'm so excited for him to go on a mission because not only will he be a fabulous missionary, but he gets to meet my grandparents!! Yep, thats right! He is going to Sacramento, California. And that's where my grandparents are serving. It's going to be great. And I'm hoping that when I go to visit them I may just "happen" to bump into him and shake his hand. If you haven't had the chance to meet Tyler Pete. You should. But you'll have to wait for two years.:)

petey pan and tink

dori and nemo

man purse...?? haha I dunno but its funny.

best friends!!!!

ROAD TRIP

2010-04-21T14:52:00.000-07:00

So as most of you know, the annual Dance Barn spring recital was just last weekend. Thank you to all those who attended!! I hope you were extertained!! It's nice to know people like to come and watch the show that we focus and work on for eight months. And also nice to know I have an awesome, supportive group of friends and family. Our theme this year was Road Trip, and as a teacher at the studio I must admit that the show was VERY successful. All my girls danced rocked it. If you saw the show I know you most likely agree. And if you don't...welllllll...you don't know what you're talking about. And if you didn't come to the show...wellllll... you don't know what you're missing. So I'd like to thank some people for this fantastic year of dance at the Dance Barn.

First, Emily Kleinkopf. If you haven't seen this girl dance.. you need to. She is also an awesome teacher, choreographer, friend, example, and influence. And she is never short of a sense of humor. She is AMAZING. She is going to BYU for college and I am going to miss her dearly.

Second, Heidi Durfee. This is my assistant. She is fantastic. I think she is sticking around since she is graduating too. I hope she does because she is the sweetest girl ever and we like having her around :)

Third, Kaitlyn Dwiggins. This is my Taitlyn. And I am her Lex Lex. She has always been one of my closest friends. She is very trustworthy and you can always count on her to be a good friend.. She is the office manager at the studio and she has helped me out tremendously this year.

Fourth, Keri Decker... she is my adopted older sister. I always wanted an older sister and when I met this girl I finally got one! :) We make a fabulous team.. really we do. We have had many late night slap happy times and some of my best memories are with her. She has been the best influence on me and I lover her to death. Really, I do. Whale mates and explicit alliteration creators for life. Fifth, my mama. She is the best mom ever. Srsly, don't even try to argue that. She is not only my mom but she is one of my best friends. If you haven't met her, you should. You're life will never be the same after you do. She is beautiful inside and out and I hope to be just like her someday...

AND FINALLY, my girls. I love teaching these beautiful ladies. And even though I yell at them to "point their toes!" or to be "SHARP!" they know I love every moment with them. They are amazing dancers and people all around.

IT WAS AN AMAZING YEAR AND GET READY FOR NEXT YEAR!!! WORLD TOUR to come!!!! Ps- sorry for the extremely long post. But I had alot to say.. so get.over.it.

Shout out to Hannie Marie

2010-04-15T11:07:00.000-07:00

This is Hannah Greenberg. Yeah I know she is amazingly good looking. And truth be told, she is coming home for the summer. And it's going to be RIDIC. I am excited, like wetting my pants excited. Okayyyy maybe not. But almost. Thats all.

Easter Humor

2010-04-04T19:57:00.000-07:00

HAHAHAHA not possible, but still funny

Peep show.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!!

Oh Oh Get On the Floor. Dance 'Til You Got No More.

2010-03-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

Let me share a little story of this past week. Being in a theatre until one or later in the morning and pretending you like it is not fun. I repeat, NOT FUN. However, there is an upside to this sad tale. When you spend all this time in the theatre with fun people, there are many memories that are made. To all my fellow MCC dance company members and staffers, thank you for the hilariously crazy moments this past week. Chili's, Applebees, BIG GAPING HOLE!!! GRANDE PROFUNDO OJO!!!, haha and other explicit material. Awesome show and showcase everybody!! RESPECT!!!!!!!

A Piece of Cake

2010-03-20T15:30:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow blog stalkers!! I will start off this post by expressing to you all how AWESOME this spring break has been to me. Special thanks to my family and friends... I have not been bored once since I stayed here in good ol' Mesa. We have been doing fun things everyday. One of which was a cake decorating contest. So random, but so dang fun.
The theme for this contest was March. My group decided to go with the classic layer cake with dip dyed effect and spring detail. And although its not pro status decorating i'd say we did a pretty awesome job.
I mean who wouldn't want to eat that!!

All cakes baked and decorated were fan freakin tastic in there own way. Including Addison and Chloe's lepricon and Petey and Emily's group of bunnies (not meant to me suggestive, but it is what bunnies do.. especailly in spring hahahaha). So glad we did this. And if you need a fun activity to do. I strongly suggest this one. It's legit.

Spontaneity Rocks

2010-02-28T14:39:00.000-08:00

So once upon a time it was my birthday and my fabulous friends took me to get some frozen custard. And we somehow came to the conclusion a Six Flags trip should happen. A little after two weeks later… yup, we were running around six flags like hooligans in monopoly shirts that said “go to jail”. And yes we did get many a compliment on out on our totally thug-like matchingness. That day was epic, really it was. I had never been to Six Flags before and now I am totally addicted. Favorite rides include: Viper, X2, Goliath, Scream, and Tatsu(even though I got crazy sick on it, but we won’t tell that part of the story). Let’s just say a luscious dinner at Souplantation cured me.

Then we started our drive down to La Jolla to Christiaan’s aunt and uncle’s house. I’ve never seen someone falling asleep and freaking out at the same time on a car ride. Haha Chloe managed to do that. One moment she would be fighting to stay awake with Lucas, bless her heart, but could barely keep her eyes open, the next she would be out like a light, and then all the sudden she would wake up freaking out saying, “Lucas! It’s not a race to see who’s first, it’s a race to see who’s alive!!” Haha poor Chloe was exhausted along with the rest of us, but Lucas got us there safely as usual.

The house was BEAUTIFUL!! The girls got to stay in the basement and the guys in the upstairs apartment. We were in heaven after an almost restless night and day of running around the theme park. We slept like rocks. There may or may not have been a problem with the toilet and a misunderstanding with the guys waking the girls up for church buuut… we won’t reveal that at this time (cough cough). Visits to the San Diego temple and La Jolla Cove were much needed before we headed home. The weather was PERFECT, the temple was stunning as always, and the beach was nude. Okay maybe it wasn’t but Tyler almost was!! Haha yeppp he did it. He ran into the ocean in his boxers though the weather was cold and windy. That kid’s got GUTS.

The drive home was a foggy one that included many Cheez-its, Pretzels, Bugles, Kit kats, York patties, Oatmeal cookies, Butterfingers, and CapriSuns. A stop at Lucas’s sisters house in Yuma was very delightful. At which we were fed Hawaiian haystacks and cheese cake. And she sent us on our merry way with bellies full and smiling faces. Three hours later and we were home. Our bonding time and memories will never be forgotten. It was without a doubt an out of this world road trip.

Guess who's 19

2010-02-03T15:26:00.000-08:00

So yesterday was my birthday. And I had to be at school... Haha anyways, it was yet another fantastic birthday. I went to the fabulous Kona Grill with my family for dinner. Somehow it doesn't get any better than alvocado egg rolls with sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, and a honey-cilantro dipping sauce for an appetizer. ANNNNDDD succulent macadamia nut chicken with white cheddar mashed potatoes and wok-tossed vegetables, served with shoyu-cream sauce and a pineapple papaya marmalade for the main dish. Yup, I LOVE food. Then, some amazing friends of mine set up a fun get together at Nielsen's frozen custard. WHAT A NIGHT!! I also recieved some great gifts from my friends and family. A new camera included. I am sooo lucky. My new camera is straight up ridiculous. The new Samsung TL220... its legit. So that is the summary of my fantabulous 19th birthday. So thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and great memories. Here's to the last year of being a teenager!!!

So this is just a shout out to one of my best friends in the world. Yes you guessed it, its Christiaan Schmid! This kid has been there for me through thick and thin and I am so thankful for him. So we play this game called funny bones, compliments of Chloe Nielsen. Christiaan and I picked up the card "nose to nose" so we had to hold it between are noses. Very difficult and funny, hence why we are laughing hysterically.

Dearest Bloggers, I must apologize to you. For I have not been a consistant blogger myself. But you will just have to get over it because I have been far too busy having a fantastic break. And now, its back to school time. And I must admit that I am slightly excited for it. Maybe its because I've have missed good ol' MCC or maybe because my schedule this semester is a piece of ice cream cake. Yes, ice cream cake... because its my favorite :)anywayyyyy, I am getting off topic. This post is about my fam damily. They are great. yes its true they are and I love them more than ice cream cake. Here is our most recent family photo, and although it was difficult getting a good shot with five horses, two lab pups, and one very pampered black yorkie poo, I have to say I think these pictures are pretty dang adorable. And, I have a feeling all you bloggers of the world will agree with me. enjoy!!

This is what my face looks like during finals week.. yeah pretty dang cute huh. I am so ready for school to be out its not even funny. Also, I decided that its okay if I get a B in a class or two. Don't freak out mom. But hey! No one is perfect! And even though normally I would say B stands for "bad", I've had a change of heart. B now stands for hmm "balanced". why you ask? wellllll let me tell you. Instead of being a school/work freak I am making an effort to balance my life to have social time as well. It's pretty flipping fantastic if I do say so myself. Anywho, here's to finals week!! And if your face looks like mine. Don't you worry. You aren't alone.

Okay so most of you are friends with some Russian chick. anddd.. that's not me. So you should probably delete her in the fear that she will get the Russian government to kidnap you and torture all your poor Blogger souls. So if you cant read Russian here we go in English... Dear Bloggers, what is up. the sky? Thats what I thought. I'm just going to tell you all straight up how it is. I am Alex Adams. I am blonde and five foot six. I dance. Yes thats right I shake my bootay. I like to laugh with my friend Chloe and make posts in different languages. If you become my friend I will blog stalk you.
