Elder Turner

Today my best friend left for his mission. He's going to Pocotello, Idaho. Actually he just entered the MTC but that's where it all begins

I'm soo excited for him but soo sad at the same time. It's never easy to say goodbye to people you love, no matter if they're going onto something great.

And this soo great, especially for Tom. This is what he's wanted since he joined the church, actually since his first discussion. And he's had to wait a long time, longer than he wanted but his goal has finally come to realization. I know he's going to be one of the best missionaries ever. His testimony is so strong and he is already so good about sharing the gospel with those around him. He is constantly striving to be a better person and become closer to Christ. And he is an awesome example to those around him.

He's the only member in his family. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints when he was 17. His family didn't like the idea very much, and still aren't to pleased with his choice. But I think that his family and him will be blessed while he's out and hopefully one day they will want to know more about what Tom is doing and what he believes and knows to be true.

I'll miss him so much but I'm so excited for him on his mission and to get letters from him.

Hmm

I need a way to make some extra cash on the side of my job so that I don't just work to live.  I need money for fun too.  I think that is fair.  All work and no play makes Alicia go crazy.  I could sell Mary Kay except I don't think I'd be very good at it.  I really don't think I'm pushy enough.

Or I could do yard work for people or babysit, but I'd rather do something more fun and less demanding.  

I could sell headbands.  I make headbands, because it's fun, so I could sell them I suppose.  

What do you think?  Are they good enough to sell?   yeah it's kind of hard to see but it's red with a black feathery pouf and a dark red star burst of crystals.

I'll take more pictures and put them up later.

At Home

I enjoy coming home to AZ it's great. And the trip always seems to come at the best time when I just need to escape from Provo. This time I came home to get out my wisdom teeth. SO yes I sit here with puffy cheeks and dry socket in two places and am still thouroughly enjoying my time in AZ. While recovering I have been spending time making headbands or just the things to put on the headbands. I think they've turned out well. When I get back to Provo I'll put up pictures. Also spending time with the family is good too. Quite relaxing. The first day I was here me and three of my best friends spent the day together. We went to Castles and Coasters, twas fun. Also we went out to eat at Sweet Tomatoes. t'was good. Tonight we're going to a dance show and out to eat. Monday my mommy took me to Target and Payless and bought me new clothes. We are excellent bargain hunters so I got lots of clothes for $70. Yes a $10 trench coat! And it's so cute. Tuesday Jenna and I went to the mall. The new Forever 21 there is GINORMOUS! Two floors and tons of things. I bought a tank top and some jewelry at the old forever 21 though lol. I scoped it out at the new one and then walked down the corridor in the mall to the old one. I also got supplies to make headbands at Jo-Anns. It was good. The night I got in my brother Tyler took me to a rock climbing gym and then we went and hiked a "mountain" It was fun. It was very nice too. I didn't need a sweatshirt at all and it was late at night, all I was wearing was a t-shirt and short shorts. I miss the warm night air of Phoenix. I also got to visit Tracy so that was nice as well and she fed us these delicious brownies. Oh yeah one night Jenna and I made this pie it was a cavity in a pie shell for sure but it was delicious. Well that's enough of my drugged ramblings for this post. I have a great story to tell about a treasure hunt in my mouth the nurses at the office had today... but later

So Update

So cute funny story about exactly a month and two days ago I was at Jenna's apt.  Melissa was there.  I was trying on Jenna's clothes and after I had put together this really cute outfit we opened the blinds.  Jenna lives on the ground floor with a great view of the driveway to her complex's parking lot.  So often we see people walk by or drive by and I love to bug them as Jenna laughs and tells me to stop.  So these two guys walk by and Jenna said they were in her ward.   So naturally I banged on the window.  We began talking to them through Jenna's window.  And I thought to myself "Wow that one guy is really really ridiculously good looking."  And then the boys decided to come inside and talk to us.  

The RRRGLGuy said he had just gotten a new truck and he wanted to show it off so he went to get his keys and then he ended up driving Melissa back to her cousin's house because they were unable to come get her.  It was quite nice of him.  Then we were at Jenna's again and right after they left Jenna looked at me and said "Do you want me to set you up with him?  You guys were flirting hardcore!"  and some laughing and, weird for us, giggling occured and then I gave Jenna her clothes back and left.

So then later RRRGLGuy adds me as a friend on facebook, gets my number, and then we have a date set up for that Friday.  He totally skipped going through Jenna.  Anyways we went on many many dates in this month including to General Conference, and a weekend in Boise.  

And now it's official, he is my boyfriend.  On his birthday too.

Steel Chokers

Lately it seems like everytime I go to read the news another person has been decapitated.  It's really sad.  The most recent one I read was about this man,23, who was at his home celebrating his little sisters birthday, she was turning 5, when he flipped stabbed his 17 yr old sister to death went on to behead his 5 year old sister and then turned to his 13 year old sister to stab her but she lived because the cops came and shot and killed the man.  I seriously cried for like 5 minutes.

There was also the tv executive who decapitated his wife and the crazy guy on the greyhound bus, who not only decapitated the passenger next to him but started eating his body.  Also there was a guy in Germany I think it was who cut off 8 people's heads.  It's sick. Seriously, what is wrong with people today?

First of all where do people get off thinking they have the right to go around killing people?  That's so not cool.  

And why do it through beheadings?  That is just so greusome. 

Seriously I know this isn't a happy post but it's not on my happy blog either.  But I'm like scared to walk around outside now for fear that someone will just jump out of the bushes and cut my head off.  I feel like I should constantly be wearing a steel choker to prevent the situation.
