Can I have one please?

Just adorable.


Baby hedgehogs that are 5 days old!! Aren't they cute?



I want a baby hedgehog that can roam around our house! He can spike anyone that tries to rob us! :) But hedgehogs are ILLEGAL in Hawaii! (Seth told me that when I asked him to get me one and I didn't believe him...so I looked it up...and he was right.....dang.) Maybe the place we move will allow these cuties and fatty can have a new friend!

And.....it's done! ...

Until next week anyway!! yikes. But for the next week, I am just going to have a ton of fun!!

I am taking Seth skydiving next week for his birthday, and he's really excited!.....and I'm really really scared-again. You'd think the second time around it would be less terrifying. Not for me anyway!! I do remember that the scariest thing is anticipating it...so when we actually get there it actually might not be so bad. I invited a couple friends that have never been in hopes that one of them might be more scared than I am, but it turns out they're really excited so it looks like I'm alone on this one!! Any words of comfort??????

It will be fun to re-live our first date 2 years ago though:)


So finals are over-----YESSSSSS! Geez these last few weeks have been a-w-f-u-l!!   I am glad they are over---what a semester! I swear teachers love to plan all of their tests and final projects and papers all on the same days.   I am really looking forward to this summer to get away from school for a bit---my brain is on the verge of overload!! Thank goodness for my wonderful husband  who is there to calm me down when I'm about to have a breakdown from the massive amount of workload I always seem to have.

Speaking of which, I feel like I'm so lucky to have married the most wonderful person in the world.  Seth is EXACTLY what I need.  Sometimes I'm such a frazzled mess and he is always so calm and reasonable and always is able to comfort me and calm me down.  Even when I'm stressed out and not in the most friendly mood, he will make me dinner, or clean the house so I don't have anything to do when I get home from studying. What else could I ask for?

Seth is always SO generous and I feel like I am so incredibly spoiled.  Since I've lost 15 pounds from last year, a lot of my clothes are too big for me--especially my bathing suits!! And I saw a really cute bathing suit online at nordstroms, that I never thought I would own.....and can guess what my wonderful husband did?---he took me all the way down to town to buy me the bathing suit---and its not even my birthday! I really don't deserve everything he does for me.

I can just think of a million and 5 instances where I have come home really down and sad, and felt like everything was going wrong, and Seth was always there for me to hug me and tell me everthing is going to be alright---Just what I need.

I really just love him more than anything!! Seriously, what more could I ask for? I really scored on this one.  Isn't it great to know that you've made at least one right decision in your life? :)

***sorry if this was too sappy for all of ya!!!***~

Will it ever end?!?!

Sorry, this blog is out of pure frustration.

I am SO tired of just taking test after test after test after test!!! I wake up at 6 every morning to study and finish homework multiple lab reports, go to school for a couple hours, go to a 3 hour lab, hole up in the library and study, and then finally take a 3 hour test. I dont get home until about 10 at night---and then I get to study for 2 more hours before i go to bed. This has been my schedule for the last week. If you've seen me around campus, i have bags under my eyes and i can barely walk around without falling asleep.

And when it seems that school is over tomorrow, how can i forget my 491 research and 5 organic chemistry lab reports due next monday?!?! As well as the ACS o-chem final+in class final, microbiology final and the physics final from hell?!?!
I am so immersed in science that I cant think of anything other than carbon molecules, microorganisms, and energy conservation.

And lets not forget that spring semester starts on the 30th. Will it EVER end?!?

General Conference

I really enjoyed General Conference today. I especially loved President Monson's talk.


You could really feel his humility and his love for Christ. When he bore his testimony of Christ, I knew that he had been called to be the prophet of God. I just loved the manner in which he spoke; with sincerity and with love for God and everyone else. I know he's going to make such a great prophet and I'm excited to see the work he will help to progress.

I also loved the talk about mothers! I'm not a mother yet, but I thought it was still a great talk to hear. I'm sorry to say I don't remember exactly who gave the talk....but it was really good! I also loved the talk on preparing now to meet God. It was wonderful. It was great to hear conference today, especially while sitting in bed with the hubby drinking a homemade peach smoothie!!
