Words to live by.

Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it. You just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good.
Now believe in it.
With all your heart.

So I know it is time for a real post but I just don't have the energy. I have been listening to a lot of music lately and I have recently been obsessed with The Civil Wars. The song above (which I cannot seem to move because I am blogger challenged) is by far my favorite. At this point in my life it seems far to appropriate.

Life

So for the past year or so I have had the nick-name of Mama Nessa. I am totally okay with that, but the problem is I feel the need to help everyone, all the time. A couple of my friends are going through some really tough times right now and all I want to do it make everything better for them. I want to take away any pain they are feeling and allow them to just take a deep breath and take a look at the good in the world. I am struggling because I don't know what to say anymore, I don't know how to help and I hate that feeling more than anything. I am Anessa, I fix things, it is what I do- it is how I live. It is just so hard when the people you care about are hurting.


On a lighter note, I am almost half way done with my LAST SEMESTER of my college career. Weird. I am still trying to figure out what I actually want to do when I am done, but I am sure things will all work out.


My next post will have pictures, I promise. And will have something more exciting to share.

Conference Weekend

I am so very excited for this conference weekend, I am not going to Utah and I don't have any homework (apart from studying for finals). To most people that sounds boring but to me it sounds like total bliss! Most of my roommates will be out of town and the apartment will be quiet, and clean, and I will be so happy :)

I will also be making creme brulee french toast, which is quite possibly the most delicious thing ever! So hooray for conference weekend! And HOORAY for Winter semester almost being over!!! WOOP WOOP!


PS I get to see my baby in Portland in 9 days people!

You Rule.

Some days I really enjoy being in Idaho, even being in Rexburg. But other days I want to run so very fast away from this teeny tiny town that has absolutely nothing in it, and the closest mall has a Macys the size of my living room, and that mall is 30 minutes away. But the truth is, I dont even care about the small mall, or the fact that everything closes at 11 pm. All I want in my life, all I NEED in my life is......YOGURTLAND!! You see, I have a bit of an obsession. When I go home for a week, I will be there every single day - the guy who works there begins to recognize me. I am not ashamed.


If you ask me what I get, pretty much everyone in my family or anyone who has come home with me can tell you, I never change, "if it aint broke, don't fix it" and change is scary! What if I didnt like it? Then I would have a negative experience with Yogurtland (but that could never happen because everything is so delicious!)

So here it is, next time you are at Yogurtland this is what you get:
Orginal Tart

Strawberries (or blackberries which ever look better)

Chocolate Chips

&&&

MOCHI!

(if you omit the mochi, it would be like forgetting the peanut butter in a PB&J sandwich, it is just not right)

This is the last time I want to Yogurtland, and I long for it every second of everyday - no joke.

Summer, is that you?

It has actually been getting "warm" here lately! (meaning in the 40s and raining but we take what we can get) So I have been getting very excited at the possibility of Summer. I even went a walk on Sunday, granted I was bundled up and we had to cut it short because I was freezing but I went outside and it was magical!

Wellll the truth is, it is NOT summertime. But boy do I wish that was the truth, I need sunshine in my life. Because this will be my last summer in Rexburg I thought I would just write a quick like of why I love Rexburg summers so very much:
1. warmth!
2. color on my skin (imagine that)
3. flip-flops - not on campus of course :)
4. sports - flag football, lacrosse, softball, soccer
5. warm summer nights
6. bonfires at the dunes/beaverdick
7. swimming/bridge jumping
8. clear skin (I am a sun baby and when it is dry and cold my face goes CRAZY!)
9. otter pops
10. bbq food
11. THE 4TH OF JULY!!!!
12. the sound of the whistles at the fields when my window is open
13. doing my homework outside
14. did I mention warmth?!
15. sun dresses (NO tights)
16. painted toes
17. green grass
18. Snoasis!
19. picnics at Porter Park
20. walks on Sundays
21. the swimming hole :)
22. oh ya, and SUNSHINEEE!!!!!
I cannot wait for Summer to get here already!
P.S. Only three weeks left in this semester, and then one more semester and I will offically be a college graduate! WOOO!

Snow and Superbowl

We had our ward opening social a couple weeks ago, it was so fun we went sledding and then got to eat yummy food. It was at our high council members house, he runs a church welfare farm so there was plenty of space and a gigantic hill!

Here we go! (Okay the truth is, I am not even on that tube train.)

We are pretty fantastic
Me, Brooke, and Sydney
Oh and guess what?!

MY GREENBAY PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!

I can't wait for February 6th, 2011. We are going to kick so Steelers butt :)

GO PACK GO!
