"Let's Talk About Memories!"*

*This quote cannot go unattributed. Jaime Mabray would always say that is a kid. Apparently she like talking about memories! (Who doesn't?)

I was sitting in church 2 weeks ago (yes, I'm only 2 weeks behind in the posting world . . . aren't you proud?) We sang this song. It made me laugh in my innards (people would have looked at me funny if I had laughed out loud . . . but people always look at me funny, so I guess I should have done it). Please bless all you King Henry women are currently singing the alto note of that song in your head. I will forever associate that song with our amazingly un-talented King Henry ward choir (no offense to Krista and all who participated - she really tried hard, and that's all that matters.)

And yesterday I went to Provo for an awkward baby shower (really, has there ever been a baby shower that wasn't awkward? Ok . . . I guess I realized there are mothers out there reading this who probably had quite normal baby showers . . . I was just too unfortunate to not attend any of them.) After the baby shower I had a few minutes to kill while I was waiting to meet up with a friend. So I decided to do a drive-by of all the places I'd lived. It was fun. I realized I had my camera with me when I made to the King Henry, but was much too lazy to park and walk up to the door to see if it's still "78" and to get a picture of it. (And let's be honest, I probably would have been towed or booted if I had tried.) So I took a picture of 78's backside. Knowing how much I love my own backside (shout-out to Towanda) I thought it was extremely appropriate. If you look close you can see the bunk beds from the middle room (Tiff/Crystal/Jaime's room - right?) Pretty sure they're the same bunkbeds our grandparents used when they lived there (did any of us have grandparents who lived there? I just made it up, but it would be highly cool if it were true).


So I was thinking . . . "Let's talk about memories?" What are your favorite apartment 78 memories? Here's a few I remember (and I apologize to those who never lived in apartment 78 - we had to start somewhere!)
  • "Yep, still a brick wall!" - Crystal
  • Abbey giving Joey a bloody nose (you rock girl)
  • Talking to Crystal in the DR
  • Playing "Trump that Succor!"
  • Sweet Swaps. No one ever got married because of sweet swaps. Oh wait - Abbey, can we blame your marriage on a sweet swap night? (We had quite a few awkward ones.)
  • 6 girls + 1 bathroom = messy. Even after it's cleaned.
  • NO HEAT (remember those space heaters?)
  • Clogging and doing lifts in the sky light
  • Backstreet boys - the originals
  • Speaking of boys . . . we were (and still are) really cute girls! How come Jaime and Abbey were the only roommates who got any action from a King Henry boy? (unless I'm forgetting someone . . . )
  • My powdered milk. How embarrassing. I'm amazed you all still talk to me.
  • 2
  • "All I want for Christmas, is "STU!" (btw, I heard he just moved back to SLC)
  • April Fool's jokes on the boys. I'll never forget Abbey grabbing a pile of dishes and putting them on some boys bed. They didn't get it.
  • The smell. We never figured it out. Spent hours, looking and being paranoid. Found nothing.
  • The awkward maintenance men who used our microwave.
  • Mold. In our bedroom. Gross. (It's amazing we made it out of that place alive.)
  • And last but not least, yelling for Tiff until she came into our room to answer awkward questions. Yes Abbey, cats do have periods! :)
Please add to the list!!!!

The Last Several Months in 10 Pictures or More

Hi. It's me. Alicia. I figure since just about everyone is married, and Jaime and Tiff fail at using the blog, this baby is kind of mine. Sorry, my life just isn't that exciting. Posting has been on my to-do list for months now. Things have been crazy. Whoops. In chronological order, here are some highlights of my life since . . . JUNE!

1st Texas Trip

I left the day after my students graduated (or something close to the day after - I can't remember anymore) for some R&R in the great state of Dallas. :) Everything really is bigger there. Except the roommates. And Abbey!!!! It was oh so fun to meet up with her and see cute Macy and Abbey's belly. Please bless I'm that small when I'm that pregnant. My attempt to have a trip romance failed miserably. But I DID get Jenn's computer working right so she could Skype with her fiance while he was living in Cali, which is close enough to a trip romance for me.

Christmas in July
Lots of babysitting of the cutest nieces and nephews in the world. And a new niece and nephew were born in August - they had the same due dates but were 6 days apart. I love babies! Anyway, I was given this gingerbread house kit at Christmas time. What a better way to bring it out than on a rainy July day? (Yes, the kids ate all the candy - only some of it was hard.)

Girls Camp

(I was going to show you a very embarrassing video of me dancing, but it wouldn't upload. I tried with all the nerd skills I could muster and it wouldn't work. Sorry!) No, Megan did not get to come, but she had fun helping me pack. Girls camp was fun as a young woman. It's even better as a leader. Minus the bear they had to shoot, camp was great. I love family wards.

Family Trip to Oregon

"Alicia, that doesn't look like Oregon! It looks like a nasty Motel 6 Bathroom!" Guess what? You're right! Why am I holding a pillow? I slept there. My dad's snoring really was that bad. I promise. Don't worry, I put the towel on the ground first. Whoever invented ear plugs is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. Really. It saved me the rest of the trip.

GOONIES!
We're still in Oregon here, folks. Canon Beach. Lots of Goonies filming occurred on this very beach. As did this picture of my parents and little bro.

The only sunset we had during our 10-day camping excursion. Just in case you were wondering, Oregon really is rainy and cold (but we didn't let that stop us from getting in the water).

EFY (awk)
After all these years of singleness, I thought I had avoided it-being an efy counselor. It was a volunteer thing, so I felt obligated. While I did love my girls, let's just say I was officially the Grandma Counselor and we'll leave it at that. (21-year-old boys + 19-year-old girls=40+flirting YSA's. I'm sure I was never that immature. Right?)

Jenn's Wedding!
No, that is NOT Jenn pretending to be that real strong male gymanst. That's Jenn's-husband's-BFF-from-the-mission-who-also-happens-to-be-friends-with-Pinky's-husband. Pinky set me up with him last spring. We went out. A lot. He got itchy. And then non-committal. And guess who spent all weekend entertaining him? Me. And Jaime's ex-boyfriend who was also in town for the wedding (they really hit it off - we thought it was appropriate). Yes, the seating arrangements at the dinner were awkward. And yes, it's confusing - read it slowly and it will make sense.

What? The bikes we just rode around on in the parking lot are the Elders' and not Jenn's fiance's? As Elisabeth said, "Our first hint should have been the tall seats. Clearly not one of 'the boys' bikes." (They're a bit lacking in the height department. But most of them make up for it in awesomeness.)

Kyle. Sigh. Enough said. And basically, Jenn's wedding was PERFECT. She was hotter than Texas on an August afternoon (and that's HOT! I apologize again for how much I sweat at the temple. How embarrassing. There is a reason I live in the desert.) I was so busy filming and editing the wedding video that I didn't get many pictures of Jenn. And the ones I stole from Pinky are still on my other computer. So take a look at Pinky's blog and then beg Jenn for more pics (I'm still dying to see the one of us jumping where we AREN'T showing our religion. If you know what I mean.) And Katie - it was SO good to see you!

Blind Dates
Someone must have decided to put me on a blind date blitz. One involved a hitch hiker. Another involved "the chair game." (It's even more awkward than it sounds.) Another involves a stabbing (sort of). And the list goes on. We'll leave it at that.

Jamie's Wedding!
No, that's not Jamie's baby. It's Shannon's beautiful Marlee! She's even more adorable in real life. Another perfect wedding. Sigh. Leaving Tiff, Jaime Mabray, and me to carry on the Singleness. (However, since Jaime got 2 the night of Jenn's wedding, things are looking up for her. Tiff - the race is on.)

Mom
I've left out a lot that's happened (despite how long this post is, I promise I didn't include EVERY detail of the last few months) but I couldn't end without this. My mom is amazing. And that is an understatement. While my sister was in town from Japan we took some family pictures. (Thank you Netell) She looks great, doesn't she! I dare any of you to look that great after going through as much chemo as she's had. The tests are bad and keep getting worse, but she is our miracle and has yet to spend an entire day in bed. (Your prayers are working. REALLY, they are.) Every.Day.Matters. Now that you're done reading this eternal post, say a little prayer of gratitude that your mom is still alive, and go call her and tell her you love her. :)

Well, Jamie has been married for one month now. I don't have any pictures to post myself, but Katrina has posted some great ones to her photography blog. Check them out:


Happy one month anniversary Jam!

Text Boy

I have an entire summer that needs posting, but before I do that I need your help. Read on!

I don't know about you guys, but often I find the boys I go out with naturally get nicknames. For example: Star Trek Boy, Zack Morris, Dr. Love - you get the idea. Well, this week's boy is "Text Boy." My wonderful aunt decided she needed me to meet her friend's nephew. "He'll be 23 in November" is a nice way of saying "he's only 22." (I'm more than a few years older than 22.) He wanted to know a bit about me, so my aunt had me email her a short paragraph. Already starting off awkward. His paragraph just happened to mention that he played on his high school football team all 3 years they took state. Whoa. NOW I'm impressed. Text Boy (TB) gets my number from aunt. Before he uses it he ads me on facebook. Now I'm even more impressed.

A couple of days later I get a text from an unknown number: "is this alicia"
My response: "Yes, should I know who this is?" (by the way, all spelling and grammar is real and has NOT been changed).
TB: "well no my aunt gave me your number and was wanting me to take you out. my name is andy"
Me: "Oh hi! Yes, she mentioned you might be calling."
TB: "hahah yeah hi i hope it didn't scare you to bad"
Me: "No, it takes more than a random text to scare me."
TB: "haha thats good. so i hear your a teacher thats got to be exciting"

At that point I decided this text conversation was way too awkward so I stopped responding. THREE days later (today) I get this:

TB: "hey its andy" (sent at 1:30 pm)
Before I can respond, he sends this beauty a few hours later:
TB: "hey so i dont want to sound wierd but i was just wanting to get to know ya some so if you want txt or whatever but yep"

Um, did this boy do anything besides play football in high school? Like learn how to form complete sentences?

Me (a few hours later): "Sorry - it's been a crazy day. I might be a bit old-fashioned, but I've never been one for long text conversations."
TB: "well i can call i just want for you to be okay with it and not like you know just doing it cuse someone said too. you know what i mean"

And now it's your turn to tell me how to respond. Thanks in advance for the help.

Why didn't they have these in Provo?

The World is About to End!

Albertson's doesn't make their peanut butter cup ice cream anymore. Get ready. The end must be here. (What were they thinking? Don't they have any idea how many times that carton of ice cream got us through finals, breakups, paper writing, boys . . . it's like the ending of an era. A very sad ending. Maybe I'll write some hate mail.)

He Purposed!!!

I got a text from a friend in Salt Lake this morning that said, "He purposed! We're getting married July 3rd! Hope you can come!" Pretty sure she meant to say "proposed." How embarrassing for her. I am grateful that when I get engaged I will know how to properly mass-text "proposed" to all my friends.

But, GUESS WHAT!!!! He really DID propose! To Jenn!!!! That's right Ladies and . . . . ladies (since hopefully there are no gentlemen on this site) our beloved Jenn is getting hitched! What a blessed day in the city! (Random phrase from high school . . . sorry.) Sigh. Another one bites the dust.

It was quite romantic. A little trip to the lake. A man down on his knee saying beautiful things and then popping the question. Sigh again. How did Jenn reply, you ask? Well, she said, "Yes! But have you asked my dad yet?" Don't worry, he had. She double checked.

So . . . wedding in Dallas sometime in August (still waiting for the final word on the date). Oh, and here are the pics for your enjoyment.

Jon, welcome to the Brethren of the Sisterhood. You are quite the lucky man, if I may say so.

Rules

I know most of us are now married or dating PEC's (Possible Eternal Companions) so these rules won't apply, but I'm sure if you think hard you can remember your days of dating and probably laugh at some of these. One of my friend's emailed this to me - apparently her friend wrote these with some roommates in college once. They're mostly good - a few random ones that I'm not sure I agree with, but overall this had me laughing. I ESPECIALLY love #40. Now if we could just mass-produce this and figure out how to get it to all the single guys we know.

40 Rules Girls Wish Guys Knew

1. Girls, by nature, are emotional creatures, and will continue to be emotional throughout time. As long as gravity = 9.81 m/s2, girls will cry at sappy commercials and romantic comedies.

2. Roses are overdone and played out. Be creative. Daisies, lilies, and lilacs are completely acceptable.

3. When girls ask, “Am I fat?” your answer should always be as follows: “No honey, in fact, I think you look too thin”. We rely on the despots of Weight Watchers to tell us the truth.

4. Girls share their problems with boys because they trust them, not because we want amazing advice. We just want a nonjudgmental shoulder to cry on.

5. Guys look hot in “trendy” glasses, and every guy looks great in a suit.

6. Girls are scared of boys. Approach us, even if you’re ugly. Girls like to be approached. It boosts our egos.

7. We tell our friends everything, and tell them to deny that they know anything. So to say “don’t tell you friends” is pointless.

8. We tell our mother everything about you, but we never tell our mothers about making out.

9. Girls love to have their hair played with. We love to cuddle even more.

10. Girls hate “DTR”s as much as guys do. Relax and chill and don’t ever overanalyze. Girls never know what we want. Ever.

11. When girls wear pajamas and no make-up in front of you for the first time, she is scared of your reaction. But this is a huge step for her, because she now trusts you. Don’t make any ghastly faces. You could mess her up forever.

12. Girls hate it when boys call too much. We like a little bit of a chase, until we know that you like us and we like you. Then, the chase is annoying and rude.

13. Get a day planner or palm pilot for reminders. We will even put in the dates. You’re just expected to show up on time and look good (without roses).

14. Girls love to take care of boys. It’s our maternal instinct. But we like to be taken care of occasionally, too. We love to cook, but not all the time. We don’t mind to clean either, but we like it when you help. But we understand that it is in our set of responsibilities.

15. All girls are scared to death of childbirth. When you say, “I want 15 kids,” we do not think about having 15 “I love you Daddy” cards on Father’s Day or 15 derby trophies. We think about the amount of pain and stretch marks that come from 15 kids. Start low and slowly work your way up.

16. Don’t ever flirt with our friends, ever.

17. We hate to talk about periods, burping, and farting. Please don’t bring these topics up around us. We hate it.

18. When you meet our parents be polite, shake their hands, and be outgoing. If our parents don’t like you, we too will eventually not like you.

19. Don’t think you know more about business and the stock market. It’s 2005; we know what’s up. Portfolios are important to us too.

20. If you have a great car, it’s a plus. If you have a crappy car, don’t think we care that much. We are in college.

21. Being lazy is the number one turnoff. Girls don’t want to marry someone without ambition.

22. Ambition is very sexy.

23. Girls are just as horny as boys. Any girl who says otherwise is lying.

24. We appreciate the sweet moments when boys cry, but these should be very rare moments. Girls hate pansies.

25. We watch the way you speak to and treat your mother. How you treat your mother is how you will treat us.

26. Girls hate it when boys are flashy about money. It’s shallow. If girls don’t talk about money, it doesn’t mean we didn’t come from money. We just don’t care and find the whole conversation uncomfortable and rude.

27. We expect you to look at other girls. It means you’re healthy. But looking too long will just tick us off. If you say, “she is cute, but she needs to cover up,” or “she just doesn’t compare to you,” you’ll win our hearts forever.

28. We understand that you might be a democrat in college, but with the understanding that you’ll be an elephant as soon as you get your first job.

29. We love boys that play the guitar. We like it a lot.

30. Don’t say, “I love you” until you mean it, and never too early. It’s an emotional attachment that you are not ready for. Neither are we.

31. All girls’ greatest fear and desire is to become like their mother.

32. Break up with a girl before you ever cheat. Once you cheat, you become “one of those boys”.

33. We love boys with testimonies. We love cockiness, but there comes a moment for humility. When boys have their special moments of humility, we instantly love you forever.

34. It’s better to be a bad kisser than not to kiss us at all. But when our hands are folded, it means: Back off!

35. Girls don’t really like “Rad” or ski movies. We love it because you do. It’s fine a couple times a year, not every time we watch a movie. We don’t expect you to watch Gone with the Wind with us, and we don’t want you to either.

36. Appreciate scrapbooking as an art, just as we appreciate boxcars as an art. We don’t want to help you build your car. We don’t want you to scrapbook, but act like you care.

37. Boys that can sing are sexy, but let us catch you singing. Don’t sing in the choir or to yourself when you’re walking to class. You just look queer.

38. Girls will always love gay guys, but we don’t want you to become femme (have you ever heard of metros?).

39. Never yell.

40. If you can’t handle the possibility of your team losing, then you should not watch the game.

A couple other favorites..

You don't get the full effect of this one until you click on it and blow it up.. Take a look at Jamie.. Such focus.

And Alicia.. So exquisite. And almost cross-eyed :)

Monday, April 27, 2009

Aww.. She's all grown up!

Well.. It really WAS the perfect day! More to come, but I wanted to post for the masses. Crystal was exquisite. So was Justin :) It was just so fun to be with Alicia, Shannon, Jamie, Crystal and Tiff. We missed the rest of you!

I TOTALLY adore this picture--look at that dress! And those smiles show pure joy!

Such a pretty sister.. With an awesome man I can't wait to tell y'all about!

I took about as many pictures of Shannon as I did of Crystal.. She's so beautiful, look at that little tummy! There's a baby in there. She's going to be THE greatest Mom.

Only Crystal would pack a giant blow up beach ball for her Honeymoon..

This is my absolute favorite picture of the day..

The Perfect Day . . .

Judges: "What's the perfect date?"
Miss America Contestant: "April 25th. It's not too hot, and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket!"

I dedicate this post to our beloved Crystal. Girl, you did the impossible - you're getting married!!!! Not only are you getting married, but you're getting married on the perfect day.

I remember when I met Crystal. We were little freshman living in the dorms on the top floor. I was her visiting teacher and we would often visit her moments before her grandparents would come to pick her up for Sunday dinner. (See, visiting teaching CAN bring blessings!!!!) Crystal would often run helter-skelter into our apartment - always leaving a huge smiles on our faces after she ran out the door, trying not to be late for class or work. I remember when she approached Tiff and I about living together. We were stoked. I didn't know a ton about Crystal (ok ok, I'm NOT the perfect visiting teacher) and I remember describing her to Abbey as, "super cute and fun and she always has lots of guys after her but she doesn't know it." So true. And boy am I grateful none of those other guys worked out. (Justin should be pretty grateful too.)

It was so great when Crystal and I were in the same major - I always considered myself lucky that we had classes together and could go on our nerd trips and watch CMT in the hotel. (I don't know why - we never watched CMT at home, but when we were on our nerd trips it was just tradition.)

My favorite Crystal quote? "Yep! Still a brick wall."

I need Crystal in my life because she keeps my head out of the clouds. Crystal does such a great job of never letting "girlie drama" interfere with her thoughts and feelings (I only wish I had let more of that rub off on me.)

Here's to the beautiful, curly-haired, gorgeouos, funny, amazing, pretty girl who loves country dancing, technology, gatos, Spanish, math, good tunes . . . oh, and Justin. Crystal - we are all blessed to have you! Can't wait til you move into my basement! ;)

A little help . . . Please?



Girls. I need some feedback. I'm ready to try a new brand of mascara. So . . . which kind do you use and can I buy it at the grocery store? (I'm hoping I don't have to take out a loan to pay for good mascara . . . )

I know this is a way random post, but since when have I been normal? Thanks for the advice!!!

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

My thoughts exactly..

Am I a bad person if I really want to send this t-shirt to all the old boys from the 69th ward--specifically Matt and Big Andy? Where was this shirt 4 years ago..

3 . . .


"Don't you just love love?" - Awkward Woman in Savannah Smiles

Don't they just make you happy? :) Sigh.

I think it's safe to say that none of us are working for "2" anymore . . . we've finally all made it beyond that. 3 new presidents, 3 new boys, and 3 new pics for you all.

The most recent reigning pres is Tiff . . . we need details. Jaime before her, and Jenn before that. We are a bunch of kissing tramps! :) (It's about time!)

Here are pics of Jenn and her cute boy, Jon. In the words of Elisabeth, "Aren't their children going to be beautiful?!" Don't jump to conclusions are assume anything - They're not that serious . . . yet. High hopes for everyone. Lets have some more weddings this summer, k? K.

The Job Stick . . .

A few months ago the fam was joking that we were hit by the Job stick (Job as in the in the old testament who gets trial after trial). Well, the stick still isn't broken and is still hitting. My dad was cutting down a tree in the back yard Saturday morning. The tree came down, but so did he - a good fifteen feet. He probably should have broken his back . . . we joke that Lindsey probably softened his fall. After spending all day in the ER with him, the doctors repaired his BADLY dislocated shoulder, and sent us with a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. (Not for sure if there will be surgery yet . . . ) My mom was at the hospital for some of it, but she had started round 5 of chemo on Monday and couldn't stay forever. The doctors were having a hard time deciding who the patient was (although she does look pretty good here). Moral of the story? Stay away from the Spjute's - we're cursed! :)

Oh, and I can't believe I'm posting a picture of me kissing, but just wanted to show proof that I am a true Aggie (it happened just a week before we broke up - good thing I got it taken care of before that happened!)

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

I'm with Shannon . . .

No, I'm not pregnant. Just wanting to read your blogs. Add me please! aspjute@gmail.com

That is all.

A Little Update . . .

Um hi. It's been forever. Tiff reminded me I never posted about England. Too much has happened since then . . . just know that it was amazing and life changing and if you are ever in town and have 27 minutes I'll show you the movie I made. Just make sure to bring some tissue cause it will make you cry. :)

I guess I'm taking more and more steps into becoming a Blom (Blog Mom) cause I used this photobucket thing. Hope it works. Hope you like it.




And an update on my madre: she is "an inspiration" in how she is handling her chemo. They are giving her bucketloads of the harshest chemo ever, and she looks amazing. The doctors and nurses tell her that everytime they see her. The tests performed after round 2 show a "mild improvement." Not as good as we would have liked to hear, but better than no improvement, so at this point we'll take what we can get. Oh, and don't worry, I'm 26 and just moved home. The sad thing about it all is that I'm loving it (don't tell anyone!) I get to put my car in the garage (no more scraping) and I have a room big enough to not only stand and stretch in, but I could even dance in it if I wanted. And all the food in the fridge and the pantry is fair game. I don't have to label anything. Wonderful.

I'm still waiting for Jaime/Jenn/Pinky to post pics of their visit - particularly our awesome date. And Jenn needs to tell us all how she GOT 2!!!!

Sunday, January 18, 2009

Oh, how embarrassing.

This is Ty's cousin McKay and some of his friends from BYU. Funnay..

We're getting married!


I'm sorry this took so long, but here it is a week later...

So it was Christmas day in the evening. I had been waiting for the ring since he got home a week earlier, but for some reason was not expecting this. For Christmas he got me a custom made puzzle with a picture of us on it. We were at his house and everyone was busy doing other things so he suggested that we put the puzzle together. When we got to the end I was looking for a certain piece and realized that it was no where to be found. We couldn't have lost a piece! We finished the puzzle and then began to look on the ground where it might have fallen. Justin was crawling around on the ground and then yells, "Found it." I was so relieved that we didn't lose a pice of my Christmas present and sat back down on the couch. He sat down by me and then I looked over and there was the missing piece sitting on top of the ring box that he was holding in his hands. I was so surprised even though I should have seen it coming. Then he popped the question and now it is official. Mark your calendars for April 25th, 2009. What a perfect date it is!

April 25!...Think about it!...



Sweetie you're in LOVE

can you guess who? haha...DUH!
