Day 12

I LOVE Rizutos.


If they came and set up shop next to J-Dawgs, three things would happen:

1. I would never make it to campus without stopping for ice cream
2. I would never make it home from campus without stopping for ice cream
3. More BYU Students would look like this all the time:




Rizutos LOVE.

Day 11

In October Pres. Uchtdorf gave a talk called "You Matter to Him" and it was the bomb. He talked about how "you are less than you suppose" and immediately contrasted it with the idea that "you are greater than you suppose." He then reconciled the contrasts by saying that the balance lies in the fact that "you matter to Him." Like I said, it was a great talk. I LOVED it, in fact.

The point is, I also love moments of opposites and contrasts that are somehow miraculously balanced. Like this friendship.

What the short and tall? What the straight hair and crazy hair? What the missionary and non misisonary? What the sprinter and long distance runner?

It's a balanced friendship and I LOVE it!

Day 10

I LOVE this cold, hard tile floor



where I once said a prayer that helped me make one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Day 9

One time I came to BYU and I was a space case free bird who thought she might want to major in English but didn't really want to so held off on declaring her major. I took classes that were predominantly on the south end of campus as well as a tap dance class that required workout clothes and tap shoes. Thus, I rented a locker for $10 so I could put all my stuff there and not have to carry it around. I got the locker in the Brimhall building becuase it was right in the middle of all the other south-campus buildings where I had the rest of my classes.

I loved going into the Brimhall building because I thought it was clean and bright and open. I didn't even know what the building was really for, but I liked going there.

One day I walked in to go to my locker and a girl gave me a flier telling me to go sign up for some conferencing session that were taking place later that week. I thought it sounded nice and also thought I was looking for some direction in my life, so not even really knowing what they were for, I went and signed up for a conferencing session the next day. The secretary at the desk told me I would probably need to dress up a little since I would be talking with a bona fide professional.

That's when I realized I had gotten myself into a serious like future-investigating/job interview/counseling session situation, but I didn't want to back out and still thought it would be nice to have some direction. So the next day I went to the Brimhall building and met with this real live bona fide professional lady. I told her I had no idea what I was doing with my life.

So she told me what she had done with hers.

She said she was a public relations practitioner and she once helped Dairy Queen up their sales by putting on this little publicity shnike and it blew my mind becuase every word out of her mouth sounded like everything I always wanted to do but never knew there was a profession that actually dedicated itslef to doing such things.

So that summer I looked into this mysterious public relations business.

And now I am in the public realtions program and it is bliss. I LOVE IT.

This is me.



Studying in the Brimhall building, which building I love, for a test for my class in the PR major. Woot!

Day 8

When I really want people to be instant friends with me



I tell them about this.

I LOVE that my bellybutton can hold more sugar (in the form of atual sugar or skittles....or hot tamales...or frosted flakes...or m&ms) than Summer ate for two whole years

Day 7

I LOVE this pen! Multi-faceted, understanding of my needs and desires, fun and surprising, cute, colorful, smart as a pen can be, and always present when I need a good friend. I mean pen.
