The day my camera died

I realized it has been over a month since my birthday and I never mentioned how WONDERFUL it was! My birthday was September 3rd and I had to work.  It wasn't so bad, I got to leave at six and while I was working Connor was able to do all of his sports playing and watching.  However, he had informed WELLLLLL in advance that there were pretty big games on my birthday that he was going to want to watch.  So, when I was driving home from work I was fully prepared to come home, make dinner and sit and watch the Oregon Football game with Connor for most of the night. Buuuuuuut when I opened the door......

I saw streamers and balloons and wonderful posters around our house! Then family members popped out of the corners screaming "SURPRISE!!!!!!!"   Karissa is awesome. She knew that I was probably going to end up watching sports all day and wanted to do something special and she went over and beyond.  She and Toby brought the boys, pizza, a homemade Piñata, and all the awesome decorations.  Kendra made me the best cake ever (funfetti) AND gave me some peanut butter M&M's and Connor did a good job at keeping it all secret and found me a super cute coat for my birthday.  Also, I can't forget to mention my loving parents, in laws and Tyleener!!! I got a special card from my mom AND Tyleen with some birthday money in it that I spent QUICKLY-muuuuch too quickly- on new cute clothes!!! And Dan and Annette gave me a gift card to Ikea that I still haven't found just what I wanted from there yet.  Buuuuut I am SO super excited about it! I felt soooooooo extremely loved on my birthday! I can't believe I am TWENTY FOUR years old!!!!!! That's so stinkin old, its ridiculous. 

 Buuuuut this was the same day that we pulled out our camera and found that it was BROKEN! It will still turn on and take a picture, but the screen is all white and won't show previous taken pictures or show you a picutre of what its taking a picture of.  The only picture we got of my birthday was this "tester" picutre to see if it still took pictures.  I know I know, i look aweeeeesome.  Buuuut it does its job of documenting the day. 

The day turned out being so much fun! I ate lots of candy and sweets and yesss, if youre wondering, the oregon football game WAS on in the background through the whole party:) Thank you Lander family for helping me celebrate my birthday and making it so stinkin awesome! You guys rock!

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH

I LOVE HAIR!!! How many of you get PAID to do something that you are so extremely interested in and looooove doing?! Welll well well, I am actually THAT lucky! I love having someone come in and giving them exactly what they wanted and having it turn out better than they had ever hoped for.  Yesterday there was a cute older lady that came in and was going to see a lot of her grandkids today and she wanted a cute little bob with a little stack in the back.  BEFORE we got started it was a crazzzzy out of control mess. (People-stop trying to cut your own hair inbetween cuts...you look silly) so anyway, When she left her hair was nice and smoth and SO super dang cute! i wish I could have taken a picture for you.  She was a cute lady and I did a stinkin good job! :)

Anyway, I love to look at pictures of people's hair to get ideas and here are some that I am in love with right now:
(All these pictures came from either me surfring around the internet or Pinterest.com)

If I were to dye my hair all one color right now....THIS is what it would be.  I am too much of a wimp, buuuuut I am IN LOVE with red hair!!!! I am SERIOUSLY considering putting this color low lights in my hair though.  I mean seriously guys!!! its coming.....ill show you pictures when it happens

Need to put your hair up for the day? Hellllllo! Look how stinkin cute that is?!

I am a fan of Glee and I always lovvved her long cute hair. So when I heard that she cut it I was sad.  Buuuut then I saw it! this may be the bessst ever

I am in LOVE with fishtail braids right now

People bring in this picture to me probably the most out of any other haircut.  You can see why though right? And her color rocks too

Gotta love the Olsen twins.  I've been jealous of their hair since "It takes two"

THIS is my goal.  I have been growing my hair out for a long long time now.   Buuuuuut in another year I think i'll get it to this! I love her bangs and the layering around her face

Goodness gracious, I have been obsessed with A-Lines for probably ever.  If I wasn't growing my hair out right now, I would TOTALLY be rocking one!

I think Carrie Underwood might be the prettiest girl on the planet.

See what I mean? Her hair was soo pretty long!

Jennifer Aniston-Always a hair icon

BRAIDS BRAID BRAIDS!

Right now I have some weird bang action going on so, I braid my bangs almost every day.  I just love them!

Short hair rocks

sleek bob

LOOOOOVE this color!

If I was brave

Tried and loved it!

 When my hair is kinda dirty it's my day off where I don't have to do my hair all the way, I did this and still felt cute and it was so stinkin fast and easy

Another ordinary day as JANJAN

I am OFFICIALLY a member at GOLDS GYM now! boooooooooooooya!!!!!! that's right! Today I had work until about 3:15 and then Jenica found a sweet clearance tent of Downeast stuff! DOWNEAST! that store has some cute stuff! So we spent some time there rummaging through the boxes finding some cute things.  And then I came home and got the look of shame from Connor cause I keep spending money on clothes when I need to stop! Seriously though, I need to stop. I have a serious addiction right now. I should just not go into any more stores for a long long time.  

Then Jenica Connor and I tossed a football for a while and got us excited about working out. So we checked out GOLDS in Provo and they have a month to month contract only for 10 dollarssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a crazy good deal! So, Connor and I decided we would have fun and use it a lot.  Tonight was our first night and let me tell you what, I love it.  I love the cardio cinema and I am going to get big muscles from all the weights Connor shows me how to lift.  Look out world, Im gonna get a smokin bod! :) Wellllll that's all for today....Just got done cutting a visiting with our good pal Landon Langford and now we're gonna spend the rest of the night watching SEINFELD! BOOYA! Peace out boy scouts! 

Tears after work

I wanted to get on and tell a funny story about what happened today but all I can remember is what happened at the end of the day.  Connor said my title sounds like an Asian romantic tragedy.  And that sounds pretty horrible, but just wait! its WORSE!  So, after work we had a meeting about stuff we need to work on, blah blah blah. But then the end of the meeting we discussed Holidays.  And for some stupid reason we are open through the holidays.  Christmas falls on Sunday, and we already usually have Sunday off.  So, we get NO EXTRA days off. Stupid I know.  Soooooooo there are six girls that work in the store and only a few get the days off to spend with their families.  The way it's decided goes by seniority and since I left for this summer and is now considered a rehire, I'm on the bottom of the list.  Therefore, I probably DON'T get to go home for Christmas!!! When I found out I wanted to start crying right then, but I waited until I was home with Connor.  Then I cried and cried and cried.  I mean HELLLLLLO! Christmas is the BEST time of year and we might have to spend it alone! I love Connor and everything and love spending time with him, buuuut we're not old enough to do Christmas alone! Goodness gracious I know it's not the end of the world or anything, but it feels like it!!!! And as of right now, I don't wanta be rational about my emotions, I want to be horribly upset and cry like a little baby about it! It might work it self all out and if we do end up staying here, it might be the most memorable Christmas we will ever have, but for right now....I wanta stomp around, complain and go eat a million cups of frozen yogurt at Yogurtland! THE END!

Conference Weekend

Today was a glorious day!!! We woke up and went over to Trent's house where we all had yummy breakfast together and then watched Conference.  In between sessions is where the real fun was! We went out to the basketball courts and played FOUR SQUARE for the entire two hours.  Then we went back and watched the second session.  

The talks were amazing and I feel so lucky and blessed to be a part of a church where we have living prophets that can give us the best guidance that will help us in our lives today.  Anyway, Tyleen and Nate went back home today.  We had a lot of fun getting to know Nate a little better.  And he didn't let anyone down when he said he was bringing his "party pants" for the weekend.  He's an INCREDIBLE four square player and a pretty fun guy. We're happy Tyleen's dating someone so super cool.  


Well, this gloriously relaxing Sunday is NOT over!!!! And Jenica is here all week! ooooooo the fun we will have! HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYBODY!

BYU Football

Have I told you?! JENICA'S BACK! Jenica has been in Alaska all stinkin summer long and she is finally back! So, since it had been FOREVER since we had seen her, she decided to come and visit us this week!!!! There was a big football game Friday night where BYU was playing Utah St. so I was lucky enough to have awesome friends that gave me their two tickets that they weren't going to use. (THANK YOU MADDI!!!!!) So Jenica and Karissa got to join us! And BOY OH BOY! it was so much fun! I spend most of the time listening to Jenica crack jokes left and right and talking to Kendra about hair. UNTIL the last quarter! Then, I got REALLY into it! Because BYU started to kick some rear!!! We scored a touchdown with 11 seconds left to brings us ahead! And the way we did was just KILLLLER! Probably one of the most exciting games of the year and I got to be there with my family! (We missed Devio Cort and Tyleen badly though. You too parents, don't worry. My siblings are just my BEST friends!:))  We have so much fun when we're together.

  

 I have the cutest sisters in the world don't you think?

 Me and Connor enjoying the game!

At the end of the game fans rushed the field!!! At first I was afraid to because I thought I would maybe die from the craziness.  But then it started to look so much fun! buuuut I was too late.  Kendra Connor and Ian had already taken off and I was left with scardie cat Jenica.  She convinced me not to go.  (She'll tell you otherwise. and something about not wanting to hold my purse while I jumped the fence, retrieve it again and then dodge the security gaurd. haha)  Anyway, Friday was a blast and now TYLEENER WEENER and NATE are in town too!!! So, we're going to go over to visit with them and tell little Zekers happy birthday!!!   Catch ya crazies tomorrow!

MORE POSTS!!!! Aren't you excited?!

Alrighty guys, I have a confession.  I am officially extremely obsessed with Blogs.  I can spend hours and hours just reading and looking at peoples blogs.  I love the ones where they have tons of pictures of themselves.  I know that sounds silly. But the girls are usually cute and I get good ideas about clothes and hair styles.  And I love learning new stuff about hair...obviously! (Maybe not obviously, but hair is what I do, I could look at pictures with cute hair all day long)  So, I love it! Sooooo, then I get on my blog and want to write something or post something, but then I feel like mine is so stinkin boring compared to the ones I look at all day.  I don't have cute pictures or cute clothes to share, so I end up getting off without posting anything.   Buuuuuut I am pleased to announce my new goal! I am going to post something EVERY SINGLE DAY in October.  I love writing and expressing my opinions about things and ideas.  So by posting a story or something every single day, it will help me get into the habit of posting and not feeling embarrassed that it's totally lame.  (I'll just have to get over it.  Cause lets face it, my life...is kinda lame.  Buuuut I LOVE IT! Mostly, this is for me cause I enjoy writing and talking about myself (who doesn't?)  but I thought maybe the few of you  that read my blog would be interested to know that I will have something new every single day for ya! I know I know, try to control your excitement. It's gonna be fun! So, until then....Have a great day!
