Spring Weather




I've been really excited for the spring weather. This week to study for my last final I went over to my cousins house. Due to the warm weather we thought it would be fun to get into our swimsuits and study outside. By the time we got outside we realized it wasn't warm enough for swimsuits. We gathered up a bunch of blankets to make it comfortable. I decided to put sunscreen so I wouldn't get sunburned. During our serious studying session a random dog came up to us and was trying to play with us. We messed up all of our studying materials and it was a good relief from studying. After that Erin and I couldn't study anymore due to the excitment that we have about our upcoming trips.

High School Memory: Cherry Sistas v. Helians

I read my friends blog who I went to high school with and it got me thinking about the good old high school days. I thought I'd share this ridiculous and funny experience. In my high school there were a lot of cliques. There were the nerds, the poofy haired madrigals, the popular kids who sat on the senior bench, the sword fighting knights, and etc. But there was one clique that would go in history as the dumbest clique ever. I hope I don't hurt any feelings of the founding fathers who started this clique, I'm just reminesing.
I was a junior in high school and I considered myself a person who had a good amount of close friends. One of my friends thought it would be a good idea to start a club where her close girlfriends would join and they could share a sisterhood. They called themselves the "Cherry Sistas." This group included four of my close friends. They forgot to invite myself and my friend Kylee. The "Cherry Sistas" was a special group because of what they stood for. They sewed on their backpacks cherry buttons to show their dedication and loyalty to the other sistas. Also they would wear cherry patterned clothes on certain days. Imagine if your best friends started a group that was based around an awkward fruit and they didn't invite you?! How rude right?
Well to be cool like my counterparts Kylee, me, and my boyfriend at the time thought it would be a good idea to start our own group that would be just as cool. We called ourselves the "Hellians." Our whole mission was to corrupt the "Cherry Sistas." To corrput them we would plan ways to distract them and would cut of their cherry buttons with our purple FOXY swiss army knife. We successfully cut off all of the cherry buttons. One day the sistas realized that all of their buttons were gone from their backpacks. They knew that we were the only ones that would have a motive to do something so mean. When they confronted us they were so upset. They didn't talk to us for two weeks.
High school was full of weird and fun times. Do you have any stories like mine?

Last week of school


Well, this semester of school is almost over. I have a final on Tuesday and then I'm done. I've been suprised because this semester hasn't been that hard. I had 2 presentations, 1 project, and 1 test. It's funny because last semester was a lot harder. I know this fall semester is going to be a hard one due to my classes and the teachers that are teaching them.

McKay and I are so excited were going on our cruise in a week. I can't wait to be on the sea and sitting on our balcony and have the salty sea air in my hair. I'm excited to write about my experience about my first cruise. I just hope I can fit into my clothes when I get back. My family is coming with too. I told my mom that we should get matching t-shirts that say Craig, Killpack, and Zollinger Family Cruise 2008. I thought it would be a good way to not lose track of everyone and plus it's a Mormon thing. Anyway, I'm excited for this next week.

I'm also excited for my dear cousin because she is going to London to study abroad over the summer. She told me that she is going to tour the places where Jane Austen lived and wrote about. I think that would be such a fun trip to see where this amazing author and literature legend lived and wrote about. Hopefully one day I'll be able to experience that in the future.

My Favorite Show in the World


One great thing about getting our cable back is Friday nights at 11pm, which is the Soup. I love this show. Whenever I'm blue or sad, I watch this show and that frowny face turns upside down into a smiley one. Watching a show that makes fun of reality shows makes me feel better. Anyway, if you haven't watched it, you gotta!


Our Summer Plans!




McKay and I are going to be busy this summer. McKay is taking a class at BYU, I can't remember what class it is, but I know it's some crazy math class. He should be graduating in two years in Electrical Engineering. It seems like forever until he'll be done. This summer I'm doing my two internships. This kind of stinks, I just found out that I can't only get credit for one of my internships because the communications department just ruled that you can't do two internships in the same semester. I wish I would of known this. I already committed to the two internships so I'm going to do both. Hopefully one of them will want to keep me through fall so I can get credit for that one too. I'm on track to graduating in Spring 09. I'm real excited and look forward to finding a job and working for a couple of years.



No babies anytime soon. McKay and I can't imagine how we would survive with a baby and both going to school full time. My mother told me that a couple of days ago my little brother asked her when McKay and I were going to have a baby. I'm glad my mom responded by saying that were both in school so probably not for a couple more years.



McKay and I are going on a cruise with my family on April 27th to May 4th. We are so excited to go. This will probably be the nicest trip we'll ever go on for a long time. We're going to the Mexican Riveria, and we will be gone for a week. Our close friends the Zollinger's from our ward are coming with us too. Having them come is going to bring more funness (that is not a word) to the vacation. We are also going to Bear Lake with McKay's family in August, and we'll go camping a bunch with his parents old school camper trailer.



My cousin Erin is going to study abroad in England, I'm so excited for her. She is also going backpacking through Europe. My ex roommate Megan is getting married in May and I'm' way excited for her too. My sister has just started to date someone and I hope this will turn into a serious one. I can't wait until she gets married, it will be so much fun to have a married sister. Anway, this is what is going on in my life at the moment. I feel so blessed and happy.
