from homeless to hot stuff

this is my best friend ryan.

we've been bffs since freshman year of college...and hes seriously the nicest, most loyal friend anyone could ask for. hes the type of guy who will run to your house at 1 in the morning, while its snowing outside, with candy and let you cry on his shoulder after you get your heart broken. (its maybe happened before) (and YES utah state, guys and girls can be just friends.)

anyway...this year, he decided to grow his hair out, because he thinks he gets more chicks when he looks homeless...(i think its some stupid trend in logan..guys dont shower=girls think they are hipster=stalk them until they get a date?). his hair has been getting so long, it was long past the beiber stage and on to the dirty hippie stage.

last week, he sent me this picture that threw me over the edge:

(the caption was: cleaning the apartment like syndurella)

i told him everyday i was going to cut his hair in his sleep if he didnt cut it soon.  but finally he was getting sick of his locks and we convinced him to chop it.

this was before...

during...(note the depressed look on his face)

after!!

ps LADIES: he's single!!!!!

Lauren+Chris

my sweet little evangeline is married. and my, my, MY was her wedding beautiful!!!!!
she was such a stunning bride.
with such a handsome groom.
their reception was at the most beautiful mansion up in midway.
they are too perfect for eachother. i can only hope to marry my best friend someday, just like laur did.

i have too many beautiful pictures of them to choose from.. so  heres a few from their bridal/groomal session :)

I LOVE YOU LAUR!

Love is in the air, PART 2!

so..... the day i posted that cute little engagement post about my little olivia....i got a little surprise...

MY LAUREN GOT ENGAGED!
ohhhhhhhh it made me so happy. love is everywhere you guys. and this girl has been waiting a LONG TIME to marry this boy. i love remembering the conversations we had at her work...
"Nicole, he just moves SO SLOW!!!! I don't know if I can wait that long. I just want to marry him! I don't like going slow. I mean, CMON. What if he never asks me to marry him! I just love him. Do you think he'll marry me?"

but, almost exactly one year after their first date... RIIINNNNNGG!

pretty beautiful huh?

(and don't worry that when he got down on one knee she got so nervous she said, "no! wait! i'm not ready! ahh! what are you doing!" but obviously... she was. and said yes. hahaha.)

they will have such cute little kids. i just love them together! and i love this post-question-popped picture of them..i wanna hang it up on my wall:

HAPPY ENGAGEMENT EVANGELINE!

Olivia + Landon

In one month.. my bff is getting MARRIED!

to a wonderful, wonderful boy named Landon. One week after she went on her first date with him, she came over and said, "Nicole I'M IN LOVE. I am going to marry him. I know it, I just know it!!!!" Naturally....i've heard this many times from her. (love you livvy)....but she was serious this time. and she was right...cuz IT was right.

Olivia is the most kind-hearted sweet little nugget i've ever known and I am so blessed we met 3 years ago. She has always been there for me and has always stood beside me through laughs, tears, mistakes, boyfriends, ex boyfriends, etc. She is going to make the cutest wife and the cutest little mommy!!!!! Can't wait to see her decorate her house with her LOADS of hobby lobby goods and i cant wait to see the cakes she'll make for her kids birthday parties someday :D

One month till their glorious wedding!!! I can't wait! Love you liv!

twelve+falk

day 12. A thought for the day.

umm i have too many thoughts/quotes.

 i'm going to post a bunch soon hopefully.

but..

thoughts = lyrics, which = songs... so thoughts = kinda count for songs, right? :/

that sounded really stupid. i'm not a moron usually.

anyway.. heres some wonderfulness from some of my very best friends.

i just love this. and i love their beautiful voices.

and i just love them.

 they WOULD be able to cover a catchy  9.71-ish song with semi-awkward lyrics (if sung the wrong way),

into a beautiful little nugget.

Happy Birthday Laur!

Happy 19th birthday!

This is my friend Laur. She is great.

Sorry I couldn't come to your party, boo!

I was busy goin down the bayou!

I love youuuuu!

sigh. goodbye sophomore year.

3 in the morning again, folks.
this time, i'm in kaysville.
my residence for the summer of 2010.
i can't sleep.
i have a headache.
and i've already peed like 6 times in the past 2 hours..
its making it so i wont fall asleep.
diabetes? no.. bladder problem? (wink wink.)

I finished up finals on thursday. they sucked.

I went to bed at 4 or 5 in the morning every night last week!

why, you ask?

Well i was shopping online and drawing and doodling my kids names in my journal of course. normal things to do..

before very important finals.

but seriously...during the daylight hours,

i studied hard but most likely failed stats. whatever.

my awesome recitation leader (the ron weasley look-alike)

was so kind during the final..

he came and patted me on the shoulder and told me i was doin great and to keep going.

i asked him to pray for me and he did. bless him!

at the end of the final i wrote a little note to him saying..

"Bryan, if i pass this class, God bless you. if not.. sorry i failed. Youre great!"

I passed my APT test. (aka i needed to pass it to get into my social work program!)

i left good ol Oakridge 6c. it was hard to leave, surprisingly.

oh how i'll miss that purple couch, munster! he ate so many things. and once he even treated us to icecream with the 10 dollar bill we found in him!.

i'll miss sitting on munster with the roomies with all of our laptops out.

i'll miss playing nintendo with them.

i'll miss us all being together.

i'll miss playing the shuffle game with them.

i'll miss our random and way too often double chocolate brownie nights.

i'll miss our shmonday runs together..(shmonday=we are so hungry and need food but wait till its 12:00 sunday night so we don't break the sabbath).

i'll miss eating cupcakes with them.

i'll miss sunday dinners.

i'll miss the girl talk we would have after we went out with a boy.

i'll miss laughing so hard with them that livvys laugh wakes the neighbors.

and christy rolls around on the floor holding her stomach in joy/pain.

and heather raises her eyebrows and says 'OH my gosh.'

(eeek. i just started singing the vitamin c song in my head...i apologize...

reminiscing will stop in a moment, i swear)

i'll miss heatherbird.. because shes growing up and getting married and moving away.

i can't wait for our roadtrip to IDAHO next weekend though for the wedding!

oh i love weddings.

I said goodbye to my friends who are leaving for the summer...mostly to sell somewhere random across the country. boo. i hate that.

because maybe i won't ever see some of them again.

and i hate that.

at least lauren briggitybrown isn't gonna be sellin apex this summer! yeehaw.

(did you like that nice little shout out, sweetie?)

i have a strange obsession with grasshopper thin mint cookies as of late. maybe i bought a whole package of them the other night. maybe in two hours they were gone. maybe i ate them all, maybe i didnt.

The princess and the frog? Disney movie? takes place in baton rouge? and the BAYOU?
=

hours of nonstop impersonations of raymond the hillbilly firefly.
"GGGEEOOOWINN DOOWWUUHN THA BAAYYOUU!"
but seriously, its one of my favorite disney movies,

and i'm a harsh disney critic

Magic erasers? MAGIC. they get any stain off ANYTHING.

wanna know whats creepy? before i was done cleaning today, it disappeared.

poof. abracadabra, it vanished. MAGIC.

One month till Jackie and George tie the knot. YES!

this tiny tank needs to tinkle again.

good night.

Pranksters. nooohh funnnhhheeeeeeeee

so we decided to do a prank. to our friends. they didn't think it was as funny as we did. nor did the sea food guy at albertsons. he thought we were creeps. but, four dollars and twelve cents later, the hilariousness began.

and so born was squidward the octopus:

Tuesday of finals

Its 2 in the morning.
I have a final tomorrow at 9.
so naturally, I'm blogging.

Today i studied for 5 hours. 3 of those being at a stats S.I. i'm going to fail that class..and i have accepted it.. but at least i tried, right? and my future hub wont care if i cant do statistics..right?

Speaking of future hubs... WHERE ARE YOU? you should think about stoping by this summer. yes? no? What are your feelings on this?

I took a sleeping pill last night at 4 in the morning because i needed sleep. i havent taken one since november! let me tell you.. MY have i missed those random dreams of monkeys riding on camels backs going to save the world. woooooweeee. such a treat for finals week.

Friends of the Elderly ended last week. We had a sing along. it was adorable... imagine all the old people just singin their little hearts out. I kept requesting all these old songs that they would know...like.. 1940's songs.. and the other volunteers where like.. what the heck? who are you? HA. maybe you don't know, my names Nicole and i basically speak/breathe OLD.

I am on the verge of tears right now due to PMS, stress, and the fact that i just ate my weight in chocolate.

Today i laughed really hard when my friend was telling me that she spilled her gatorade in her backpack...and in it was all her textbooks, ipod, phone, etc....and all she screamed out at the silent library was... "NO!!! NOT MY CALCULATORS!!!!" yes, calculators plural. hahaha. oh allie. bless your heart.

I move home on friday. My summer will consist of working as a hospice aide again. arent you so excited to hear my stories? i'm so excited to be with them again.

I guess its time for sleep.

Godspeed.

here is a picture. that i like. of my best friends.

only a few more days with these beauties :(

i'm tired.

kthxbai
