"You need to hear me out and they said speak now"

So I haven't blogged in a zillion years. So here's a recap of the best moments of the past month:


10. Taylor Swift's CD "Speak Now" came out. To say I was excited would be an understatement! I love the whole CD hence why the title of this blog is part of the title track. I've always decided that I'm going to always try and speak my opinion, not in a confrontational manner, but I am not going to stand on the fence about my beliefs! Also, I totally cried the first time I heard the song "Never Grow Up" because it totally talks about how she never wants to grow up. I'm kind of feeling the same way.


9. Gilmore Girls/Bones/Pizza Party with my roomates. Yes, it was in a fort made from our couch. Yes, it was much needed. Yes the pizza man was an attractive RM who was not engaged.  Seriously I love those shows and I loved being a bum!


8. My bosses' costumes for Halloween. So apparently last year my bosses dressed up like Polygamist wives with Tad being the husband. (And yes, they were all surprised they still had their jobs after that!). So this year, not to outdo themselves too much, they decided to be the Jamaican bob sled team. It was freakin' hilarious. Also, work continues to be fantastic. I love my co-worker Michal probably because we are both blue-reds for the color code! Or maybe it's because she's hilarious and tries to scrape 'dirt' off of our computer screen... yeah, it wasn't dirt, it was definitely the microphone the person giving the devotional was speaking into.


7. Jason Derulo/B.o.B/Iyaz concert. Well let's just say the night didn't turn out as planned... but I loved it. I finally got to see my future husband in concert and let's just say, I would have been ok if he had proposed to me on the spot! SOOOOOOOOOo attractive and such a great dancer!


6. Corn maze! So once upon a time, Carrie, Lindsay and I went to a corn maze. Let's just say it was a thousand times better than the one in Littleton. It had a magical horse and a carriage that looked like something straight out of Cinderella. And we totally dominated that maze! And I conquered my fear of the day by walking through a haunted house while clutching the hand of a six year-old. (Yes, that sadly is a true story!) It was fun though and we ended up getting smoothies at McDonalds and watching a movie with Zac Efron in it!


5.  An amazing bike ride. So when I say the words 'bike ride' I used to think of a nice leisurely all down-hill ride that burned no calories. But then I went on a bike ride with Madison. I went on numerous of these rides during the summer so I was used to them by now but this time we decided to bike up to a water fall. It was sooo pretty! Seriously, it made me feel really thankful for the beautiful world we live in. (Plus burning 800 calories/biking 20 miles was also worth it!)


4. Going to a game where we actually won! So when the last football game was about to start, it started raining massively causing me to not want to go... but I had Madison's ticket so I had to bring it to her... so I ended up staying. And we totally won! It was awesome!!! Also, my friend Katie texted me during the middle of the game saying she was engaged which is totally exciting! So yay for being a bridesmaid and yay for Katie getting married!! :)


3. Planning my epic airport run with Cassie when we pick up Kelly from the airport. So my friend Kelly is in Ohio for college, so we're going to go pick her up. And of course on the way there we will be playing Taylor Swift. And then Cassie is going to do an epic run-across-the-airport hug while I video it. So yes, it's going to be epic.


2. Classes! I know it's a shocker that I mentioning classes, but seriously I LOVE them. It's pretty stressful sometimes, especially during midterms, but ultimately I love it! Seriously I love that we can talk about religious aspects and I just had the best lesson about the allegory of the olive tree. My favorite quote from my Book of Mormon teacher, who is AWESOME by the way, is "So put that in your spiritual pipe and smoke it." Yep, I go to the best school ever.


1. Going home! So Carrie, who is in my stake back home and my ward here, decided she wanted to go home so I hitched a ride with her. It was so much fun driving because we were listening to crazy music and Scott's obsession with 'shooting the gap' was also interesing. I was sooo excited to come home! And then I got home. And no one was there. So that was cool. Just kidding I love my family and I did get there earlier than expected thanks to Scott's driving! So I got to hang out with Danny for like two seconds that night. (But it was still totally worth it!) Saturday was family day! I got to witness my brother winning his second ever football game and got to see my grandparents all in the same few hours! We then drove up to Loveland and saw my other grandparents, carved pumpkins and went on a hay ride! So that was super excellent. I also got to go to church which was totally like old times. (By 'old times,' I mean I was super loud and distracted everyone in Sunday school...) Anyways, I loved randomly visiting my family and ward family! :)


My favorite quotes of the week: "Victory, victory." This one's a long story... and then there's the whole discussion we had at work about marijuana which involved Shawna telling us to 'roll our own.' haha My favorite serious quote that I discovered was "If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves."-Thomas Edison. It made me think...


So, to sum up, I love life. A lot. Seriously (seriously). Love you all!
