We pulled in right as the sun was setting - I wish i had a picture of the first sighting of the pyramids...but I was in the back of the bus and it would have taken a lot of effort to weasel through the crowd of us trying to see/take pictures. (Don't worry..i'll steal one from someone who did- it was awesome) You're just driving on the freeway through the city, enjoying the orange sky and BOOM! in the distance you see the pyramids! We were all screaming and were probably a little too excited about it. haha<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFFTjIk464nq-KhdvbF5bZdX8CKg9uDXHaqCEtd6rvKy3-Xi2K6BjK9neleMSN3EpVxMyeU3Ydj6IyrlMHxb9UJgkM_iww3kR6dZPXNN5tVKyBaNE1Urx27Lk7w5xvhQI_o1HEopZ6clY/s1600-h/DSCN0397.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438114712042162594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFFTjIk464nq-KhdvbF5bZdX8CKg9uDXHaqCEtd6rvKy3-Xi2K6BjK9neleMSN3EpVxMyeU3Ydj6IyrlMHxb9UJgkM_iww3kR6dZPXNN5tVKyBaNE1Urx27Lk7w5xvhQI_o1HEopZ6clY/s320/DSCN0397.JPG" /></a></div><div align="center">This is from the "Sound and Light Show" that night... hilarious.

I am going to live in Jerusalem this Winter/Spring!! I know, I know I just went on a study abroad...but hey, this is the time to do it right? My mind set for the Caribbean was "wait a minute...all of my friends are gone on missions...I want to do something too! This'll show 'em." And I had a blast, learned a lot, and it did change my life in some aspects.<br />Well...The Caribbean will look like NOTHING compared to the Jerusalem program! Serious....I'm about to change my life. :) <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgouWH8xoM08gKOJ5KNVN03im3IJAI8BeB1ueD1iSh5Zl4sm7uBMGa8PvYfO6z_D-unheZosQJqiJXc5aDCXqQMFAfvCaP0fwve4lkyZJISDGW3HoogWkVjhG3qA94mDdRuL5W-kzX9BC8/s1600-h/entry.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgouWH8xoM08gKOJ5KNVN03im3IJAI8BeB1ueD1iSh5Zl4sm7uBMGa8PvYfO6z_D-unheZosQJqiJXc5aDCXqQMFAfvCaP0fwve4lkyZJISDGW3HoogWkVjhG3qA94mDdRuL5W-kzX9BC8/s320/entry.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403649622350515298" border="0" /></a>It's funny actually because I had to apply for the Jerusalem Program the week after I got home from the Caribbean. I felt so so spoiled and like I probably didn't even deserve to give it a try. But...my justification is that I apply for these things- so it can't make you spoiled if you earn it right? ...ok I kind of sound like a brat. Next?<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Alright, so in order to apply I had to fill out a bunch of papers, get ecclesiastical endorsements from my bishop and someone from my stake presidency, get papers signed by a notary, and write a couple of short essays. WOW it was stressful! Mainly because I put it off until it was crunch time - I was working on my paintings and final from my Caribbean study abroad all that week. I am SO lucky I have family and church leaders that were so willing to help me out.<br />I honestly had the mind set that I wouldn't get in. Lets be honest- so did my mom. haha It's a pretty intense program. So, the plan was to apply for Winter semester...probably not get it, and just keep trying. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkExdK9MTntnV4XSWoqk-3-u8MC0Ia-mMzst6cT2V0sxG1lswOHZlHAcGqg8pFghn7OPkRVyexkXTFwqtiWyy3ufNsTQTn_N0VhmT_iT8ekEGDwcDcRsZYp3v79gzOWmPVcIDkL-o1Cq0/s1600-h/dorm.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkExdK9MTntnV4XSWoqk-3-u8MC0Ia-mMzst6cT2V0sxG1lswOHZlHAcGqg8pFghn7OPkRVyexkXTFwqtiWyy3ufNsTQTn_N0VhmT_iT8ekEGDwcDcRsZYp3v79gzOWmPVcIDkL-o1Cq0/s320/dorm.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403649623868029922" border="0" /></a>When I applied I didn't know what my address would be down in Provo, so I just put my home address in my information. I knew I was supposed to find out on a certain day because I would get a letter sent in the mail. So the fateful day was here and I called my mom a few times to see if the mail came... and there was NOTHIN! I won't lie right now- I was pretty upset. Later that day I met up with a bunch of different friends down here from Murray and found out that Marissa Purser (she's a year older than I am) got into the Jerusalem Program! No one but my roommates knew that I had applied- so I just sat there thinking... oh..I didn't get anything in the mail...guess I didn't get it... I was pretty bummed, but WAY excited for Marissa!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZOqM_CZLGkIzRnNJVi7VejVDum0egSEmPDjAk8hty3OBl5ppCrvoyg1070rjk0LAFnbEFNiO6eA7bGQjjFmlVdra8mQMHHe_S1LSm4T7oD9mjYLe-48AwDwliP9AHzh3MUQbeofX_eM/s1600-h/main_photo5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZOqM_CZLGkIzRnNJVi7VejVDum0egSEmPDjAk8hty3OBl5ppCrvoyg1070rjk0LAFnbEFNiO6eA7bGQjjFmlVdra8mQMHHe_S1LSm4T7oD9mjYLe-48AwDwliP9AHzh3MUQbeofX_eM/s320/main_photo5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403649640103987506" border="0" /></a>Well, I should have thought this through before - but because my letter was sent to Murray it took longer. I got a phone call from Rob the next day and he started reading "Dear Lindsay, Congratulations! You have been given initial placement on the 2010 Winter Semester Program at the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near easter Studies..."<br />I honestly couldn't believe it. I kept saying "stop...you're serious right now.. wait really? Don't even joke!" I think I literally went into shock. haha I later got the big white envelope from home that had my acceptance letter and more paperwork I need/ed to fill out along with a handbook. I also had to have an interview, but that was very relaxed and basically they just needed to ask more health related questions, and allowed me to ask questions about the program. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA7DZiWJamSln8n0ktAChwB9pMCF4TBylJGax_c7CfR5e-lFJtIwpvbD237ngdmrJLtC01wfDObYZPSf8PQQpH7Cja7Nk6V8WRnUPh10TbblV86rOniv1ihbLrJNFwkLT-x0vF2ml4Wds/s1600-h/main_photo7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA7DZiWJamSln8n0ktAChwB9pMCF4TBylJGax_c7CfR5e-lFJtIwpvbD237ngdmrJLtC01wfDObYZPSf8PQQpH7Cja7Nk6V8WRnUPh10TbblV86rOniv1ihbLrJNFwkLT-x0vF2ml4Wds/s320/main_photo7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403649800568200178" border="0" /></a>I guess I should say that I will be there from Jan. 5 - April 22. I get to be there for EASTER! AH I am just so so excited!<br />I am studying Old and New Testament, Jewish and Arab and Islamic Civilization, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Hebrew! Sure, school is going to kick me in the pants...but wow I'm stoked for it!<br />The only bummer about this whole thing is that i'm leaving again. I'm really sad to leave my roommates and my awesome ward down here. It's sort of a topic that's off limits because it kinda makes us sad that i'm leaving. BUT - Marissa's roommate is another girl from Murray - CC er..Jaclyn Cowley - who is going to take my spot in the apartment! Which is awesome for me, but more importantly, awesome for Christie because they are way good friends.<br />We're just living right over here.<br />I'm also sad because Brooke will be coming home from China a week before I leave. It could have been worse world- she almost came home the day before...death. Thank goodness she's the best and is coming home in time to play with me.<br />Oh and another downer...Right when boys are coming home from missions I leave... Well, they can get out of the weird stage while i'm gone - right? Here's hoping anyway<br />I obviously don't have to say that I'll miss my family... that goes without saying.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-5PO5Wpgfk-b-qFAr39FpST5Jzg1iM7x0KjveOzBIDgLV8dmG0H1aRcArqAhbnyoNEf8f3LoO_WRdWTkSy-R7cFN6Nm4Pb67ELNO5dtDqgS998Lc-jLPWVOQklTQ8WFLbtS3R7bFKSzE/s1600-h/-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-5PO5Wpgfk-b-qFAr39FpST5Jzg1iM7x0KjveOzBIDgLV8dmG0H1aRcArqAhbnyoNEf8f3LoO_WRdWTkSy-R7cFN6Nm4Pb67ELNO5dtDqgS998Lc-jLPWVOQklTQ8WFLbtS3R7bFKSzE/s320/-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403655520147385874" border="0" /></a>I don't know if you can see if very well, (it's a picture of a picture- sorry) but this picture says "Be virtuous, Be wise, Be ready" I have it on my bedside table and it just gets me so excited to go!<br />I'm ready....now I just have to work on the other two...<br /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10145982862368686008noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169107986348032854.post-47166949624056913362009-10-30T17:07:00.000-07:002009-10-30T17:41:43.279-07:00yeah....about that...<div style="text-align: center;">Remember that one time I was obsessed with blogging?

Well, the last week of February I got an E-mail about a Study Abroad program that had extended the deadline till Saturday March 7th in the freakin’ Caribbean! Hahah So, I called my mom to ask if I should even try applying- unfortunately she had just seen the movie Taken (Oh and lets remember how I had to sleep in Russell’s room for a while after Elizabeth Smart got kidnapped …yeah biggest fear right there) needless to say, my mom was pretty nervous, but was like “eh whatever you want.” Anyway, I didn’t really think about it that much…Until I think Wednesday (March 4th)…And I just up and applied! Why not right? I was bored that day… haha<br /> So I had an interview Friday afternoon (the 6th) with a Humanities professor and it went pretty well I thought, except there is a prep class I have to take the second block of this semester – a.k.a. the next Monday! So the professor was sayin that I have to go get an Add/Drop card and come back and have him sign it, then run it to the registration office. So I did all that and get there and apparently the deadline was the day before…so I had to go to this petition place and write something about why I needed to add the class and why I should be an exception. SO, I still had to meet with another professor that was going to be at the first interview-but was teaching class… I e-mailed him saying that I could have my interview anytime after 4. I went to the library around 2 and just studied and kept checking my e-mails. I finally got one around 4:20 saying that he was in his office and that I could go over right then and talk to him. This guy was an art professor of some sort and was really chill and way nice. Anyway we were talkin for a few minutes about my admittance essay, my major and what not and he just says “so…do you know that you got accepted?”<br /><div style="text-align: center;"> “…umm…WHAT?! I just had my interview with the other professor” and he’s like “He e-mailed me after your interview and accepted you already” hahahahhahaha WHAT THE CRAP! HOW DID THAT JUST HAPPEN TO MY LIFE!? Me and that professor were talking for a while about the classes (that can work as GEs p.s.) and the prep class I’ll have to take, and about other random things. OH MY WORD! HAHAHA I was honestly still in shock!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZVIo5iMO-_7ygsPNf2CbIeCjofglulUHajpUrSsfRjKX3cZlLSG9v8PJzFhHZsLPHTtodJQwWwP0hNu30H26ZysP39c6LN5SwDDkiQ_Y_1hMDpjxg6eT-Mqb_YhYTVjKNkCqsP_Mr94/s1600-h/carribean_islands.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZVIo5iMO-_7ygsPNf2CbIeCjofglulUHajpUrSsfRjKX3cZlLSG9v8PJzFhHZsLPHTtodJQwWwP0hNu30H26ZysP39c6LN5SwDDkiQ_Y_1hMDpjxg6eT-Mqb_YhYTVjKNkCqsP_Mr94/s320/carribean_islands.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312382222242320450" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">My program goes to Trinidad, Tobago and St. Lucia... :) </span><br /></div> World, I’m full on going to live in the Caribbean for about a month. Well, June 22-August 10 and the first 2 weeks of class are down in Provo. I guess I’ll just live with Rob and Rachele during that. (sorry guys…Good thing I like sleeping on couches!) Anyway how crazy is that?! Just sign up for something on a whim and it totally works out! I’m gonna live on 3 different islands this summer what the heck. Lol So I will be taking a watercolor painting class…just going to different beaches and painting. Haha It isn’t an advanced class at all or anything, and I’ve always wanted to get better at painting. The reason why it’s in the Caribbean is because this world famous poet Derek Walcott lives in St. Lucia and we are going to study his poetry and meet him! That will be difficult, but pretty sure it will be worth it! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_8PTtwuNZPzEC9osRbOkYn4c7Cj4lmzyyWJrKJsRyTnIRE1S4i7mBVItvBDI7RYfW5x5EmqW-RSYabnW2tLboRLKnoO9BhCG35jmel-pmr1MBhsLKlaEvyy2LrHPJ72dgCBBG19e2l40/s1600-h/watercolor_painting_for_dummies.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_8PTtwuNZPzEC9osRbOkYn4c7Cj4lmzyyWJrKJsRyTnIRE1S4i7mBVItvBDI7RYfW5x5EmqW-RSYabnW2tLboRLKnoO9BhCG35jmel-pmr1MBhsLKlaEvyy2LrHPJ72dgCBBG19e2l40/s320/watercolor_painting_for_dummies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312382237987054370" border="0" /></a> The funniest thing about all this is that I didn’t tell anyone I had applied. My mom and dad didn’t even know because they were still in Mexico! So I just called and left a message…bah! Mom was kinda worried (again with that Taken movie…) but dad seemed pretty excited! St. Lucia is a small island that mom and dad have been to before and they say it’s probably the best scuba diving they have ever done! So maybe I’ll talk them into getting me certified, and coming down to visit sometime Hahaha Don’t think it’ll be too hard to talk them into that huh?! I mean seriously…who wouldn’t want some of this…<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhelevExrdbYG6allkxcXG17eg_yMDfNq0YzB_sl5RJmtHR86ZYvWzx3XEQ7Uao_AFpJjnTOZru-yiGncBaeH7F1vGKdqsUooZDku4xKc8doH2_-Nt8Nyu9zGbzwOlDI2gtpjPmjkQeiQ/s1600-h/st-lucia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhelevExrdbYG6allkxcXG17eg_yMDfNq0YzB_sl5RJmtHR86ZYvWzx3XEQ7Uao_AFpJjnTOZru-yiGncBaeH7F1vGKdqsUooZDku4xKc8doH2_-Nt8Nyu9zGbzwOlDI2gtpjPmjkQeiQ/s320/st-lucia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312382229938326914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcAdLN3VMlTofGM0szHqX_LV1DUkphOUxCs1R9jePF1iqAkwKEeHhjAFBa3yccW8Ibo-aR50oGsEg_dFZBCoQ3OlthUE2BAhQ-F3eaeBg013BJFA2Kv-CuPZT3ITXFAYGJtyromGL-t0/s1600-h/trinidad_tobago2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcAdLN3VMlTofGM0szHqX_LV1DUkphOUxCs1R9jePF1iqAkwKEeHhjAFBa3yccW8Ibo-aR50oGsEg_dFZBCoQ3OlthUE2BAhQ-F3eaeBg013BJFA2Kv-CuPZT3ITXFAYGJtyromGL-t0/s320/trinidad_tobago2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312382229129676866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdfXqFHyzbChNkDKTNf5olgz0TT4Iq8LW67ufjqQQIJeVnf9chBcynyu1wz8J-nsTZMUuDlMgLEabnpwduLP5v4aVTemNTUBHfout8Ji_zJDwiyoW6YLLMX8ZrJgrtArSY5-AwK7fwCc/s1600-h/st-lucia-pitons.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdfXqFHyzbChNkDKTNf5olgz0TT4Iq8LW67ufjqQQIJeVnf9chBcynyu1wz8J-nsTZMUuDlMgLEabnpwduLP5v4aVTemNTUBHfout8Ji_zJDwiyoW6YLLMX8ZrJgrtArSY5-AwK7fwCc/s320/st-lucia-pitons.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312382223748781458" border="0" /></a>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10145982862368686008noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169107986348032854.post-21183408837925893752009-01-13T00:01:00.001-08:002009-01-13T07:19:39.656-08:00my missionary boys<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnnRFkymPhupotF85uFG34f2YGnjvpodyAaE2gbmz8shN8IHoiRLrWDq3NGS_2DmqYs14JHBKaRg35zlBwpKZiYXEGXNQ0r5P-Annpu4wMo5uhvo2UNgXPk13vMZyetpmD3j12p0GxB0/s1600-h/84760937v6_350x350_Front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnnRFkymPhupotF85uFG34f2YGnjvpodyAaE2gbmz8shN8IHoiRLrWDq3NGS_2DmqYs14JHBKaRg35zlBwpKZiYXEGXNQ0r5P-Annpu4wMo5uhvo2UNgXPk13vMZyetpmD3j12p0GxB0/s320/84760937v6_350x350_Front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290687309149988226" border="0" /></a>Well reader I am in that special time of life where all my amazing guy friends leave me for 2 years to serve the Lord. I have sent some of the greatest friends out and am about to send out another bunch of them coming up here pretty quick...buckle up Linds.<br />My whole life I have grown up with boys to play with...many of which are these boys I sent/am sending off. These amazing young men have made me the way I am (uhh...not sure if that is good or bad to say...sorry if that hurts your feelings boys). Honestly I have looked up to each of them as examples throughout each of our friendships. But nothing impresses me more as these last few years as these boys draw closer to their missions. I was lucky enough to be the "it" for them. I got this title because i'm not a guy to them...but i'm also not a girl to them either.<br />Some may think this is an insult, or something that I shouldn't just throw out there and be proud of. But I am.<br />I am proud to be the one they would turn to for advice, they could completely be themselves by, someone who they knew they still had to be a good example to, the person that expected so much out of them- because I saw so much within them.<br />These boys have helped me in so many different aspects and different times in my life. They have made me recognize what is important in life. They have showed me how to truly be happy, no matter what is happening at the time. They taught me the true meaning of friendship. These boys have strengthened my understanding of the gospel and have helped me build on my personal testimony through sharing theirs. They have taught me that serving the Lord is one of the greatest things we can do on this earth. Their excitement about serving a mission helped give me a true assurance that the young men of this generation are strong and valiant.<br />I am forever grateful for the friendships that i've had with these valiant young men, and for the influence they have had in my life. They are and will be incredible missionaries.<br />Look out world! You're gettin' the best!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf7c0-i-0Grje3nzXcQLCT_buyXsjMVSM9vQkRc8zKEKnyHhiOw_YCUZEf5KkLBbUj0zTLwA88hIbKACShCYv402GTNWpNpxOyqeerxbp8xDcEZIsCd-IwWg70WiHRSEpbTu4YAjhmJuY/s1600-h/100_0549.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Commitment (to continuance)<br /><br />5. Uniqueness<br /> -How interchangeable the person/relationship is<br /><br />6. Like larger social organizations, they include role differentiation, specialization, division of labor, sense of shared membership, and shared culture.<br /> -Nicknames, inside jokes, special things/places, something you do JUST with them<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Think about your best friends...I'm sure they fit into these categories.<br />I looked like the biggest nerd when I was taking notes that day...I just had the biggest smile on my face and would even start giggling occasionally!<br />It is so interesting to look at the relationships you've had throughout your life and how different they are with each person.<br />You can be in the same "group" and will have different specific things with each friend. It is so fun to really focus on what makes each relationship unique!<br /><br />I am lucky enough to be able to say that I have quite a few best friends in my life. I am so grateful for the relationships i've made. I have the BEST best friends ever!<br />I honestly couldn't have asked for any better. I could go on forever on different things that make my friendships unique...but that would take forever...besides, you know what we do ;)<br /><br />Oh, haha I'm retarded and cant figure out how i can post this....So here is a link to an awesome episode of the classic Saturday morning cartoon- Recess. :)<br />Enjoy!

Christie even stayed awake the whole time! Monumental moment for sure.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So the next morning Ellen's awesome friend Cyndal made us a delicious breakfast, then Ell had to go get ready for her game. It was awesome getting to know Ellens good friend, I have heard a lot about her and she was a great girl! Want to get to know her more..<br />Anyway, Christie and I got ready for the day and then decided to look around campus and take pictures hehe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCD9tACIzs2rm2iTNSkrlXLcLy3G-VkOajHvTeFa-3qV0ZiO6D5Rr4IXLevVxpmuFneVX1aiFgciEPpvb1ob5ZPW3hGOFTugN7QlJPw3pjmk45AvelM5FHCGpvqyDf2Y8nlHwyetNLzs/s1600-h/IMG_0026.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoCD9tACIzs2rm2iTNSkrlXLcLy3G-VkOajHvTeFa-3qV0ZiO6D5Rr4IXLevVxpmuFneVX1aiFgciEPpvb1ob5ZPW3hGOFTugN7QlJPw3pjmk45AvelM5FHCGpvqyDf2Y8nlHwyetNLzs/s320/IMG_0026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262473226625549362" border="0" /></a>Yeah...oops hehe<br />Good ol' Lola the Corolla worked so hard that weekend.

I mean, the day Ellen moved I had 12 people ask me how I was holding up. (no exaggeration)<br />After Russell's "opportunity-to-speak-before-his-mission" they would congratulate him and wish him luck, and then come to me and comfort me.<br />His farewell was on our birthday. I'll be honest I completely forgot it was my birthday! I was only thinking about Russell and his talk.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyIhgAjgW__2XLSTRpsMtO-TcdTZ3F7etQgk3Ga_z8dZSIywvEfuymbebxsBE7iaXBJ2iTbiA9MFMPZg0fszGMfbj3D0UkXgFSIt3gG2Xg_xdQYdLU727MXV2eIWtp46jubaTyLhtLuE/s1600-h/DSCN0802.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyIhgAjgW__2XLSTRpsMtO-TcdTZ3F7etQgk3Ga_z8dZSIywvEfuymbebxsBE7iaXBJ2iTbiA9MFMPZg0fszGMfbj3D0UkXgFSIt3gG2Xg_xdQYdLU727MXV2eIWtp46jubaTyLhtLuE/s320/DSCN0802.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694066509435890" border="0" /></a>I was so nervous before! I sat in the front row by my girls because it was too crowded where my family was..and my girls pretty much just grabbed me and sat me by them. hehe Maybe because they could see my hands shaking, my eyes already filling up with tears, and were excited to see the rare sight of me crying...and crying hard. hehe<br />Really though, I could not hold still. The girls were there to try and calm me down though. During the sacrament I had to force myself to stop thinking about Russell and focus on the sacrament instead.<br />I cried the whole meeting dang it. Everytime I would look up at him, especially when he would look back. When the Calton's would talk about Russell and his incredible example, when they talked about my boys and how excited and ready they were for missions. When Russell stood up to speak, when he said anything-especially the words Mission and Germany. When he would get emotional and tear up talking about the gospel and his family. When my grandfather gave him mission advice, and pointed out how his family, friends and angel twin sister were supporting and loved him. Wow I had serious cry-face! I think I cried even more because I was so embarrassed of my cry-face. hehe Anyway, brother did an amazing job. I was/am so proud.<br /><br />I had to go back down to Provo that night cuz I'm stinkin in college. But to be honest, I was home so much that it was weird being down there still. Tuesday afternoon I went back up to Murray for his setting apart. My grandfather got to set him apart. It was amazing, loved it. He was now ELDER Irion. Wow he was happy.<br /><br />Well, that night he had the boys come over to say goodbye. Gosh that was hard to watch. We all just sat and talked for a while, but then it was getting late (for a missionary) and wow reader, watching best friends say goodbye was awful. Watching the boys cry and thank him and everything made me cry for sure. While they were doing their "mission goodbye rituals" Ellen happened to call. I had cry-voice and sounded funny but it was good to hear from her and know that she was thinking of me.

I couldn't leave his room. We talked and talked. Because he couldn't listen to music we started singing our song. I made him take a picture in a pose like in Saturday's Warrior (the twins do this-so whenever Russell would touch my leg I would quickly get into this pose and he would always get mad...not tonight :) hehe) We did our "simultaneous light switches" with the light and his lamp that we always used to do,<br />then we said "gute Nachtbruder" and "gute Nachtschwester" and I shut the door and<br /> went over to Sam's to bawl.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72gMmFXBaFfuC4fa1o42FOFafCIBtM_pmtKAeEn6WbZt2qFJlMKKXU5o4zv3-Eglz5bZ0Vaa9LxLemI9adSTFY0LsGeOE499yfpZbc2TyanxKkx2h8cEsMXx3omt-PjP8VyFYcIbshT8/s1600-h/100_0169.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72gMmFXBaFfuC4fa1o42FOFafCIBtM_pmtKAeEn6WbZt2qFJlMKKXU5o4zv3-Eglz5bZ0Vaa9LxLemI9adSTFY0LsGeOE499yfpZbc2TyanxKkx2h8cEsMXx3omt-PjP8VyFYcIbshT8/s320/100_0169.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694077722990146" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvlRxNaOdkpr56pcLvhHFdEXXZJ0eyLrutfrYJJnjFoq6RaEibaJszJKaDuOu6B08o1BaPdGzvypHV0553LPydNtO12Tw4YlO4GkrpoIaaLPuALl_mE5tMPSKCcM3Zrqht_4iByOyx9A/s1600-h/100_0166.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvlRxNaOdkpr56pcLvhHFdEXXZJ0eyLrutfrYJJnjFoq6RaEibaJszJKaDuOu6B08o1BaPdGzvypHV0553LPydNtO12Tw4YlO4GkrpoIaaLPuALl_mE5tMPSKCcM3Zrqht_4iByOyx9A/s320/100_0166.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694073315321794" border="0" /></a>The next morning I had to go to Provo cuz of class. I had to just meet up with the family at the Brick Oven for lunch. Russell didn't eat much- he was so anxious! We went down the street from my apartment to the MTC (can I just say how crazy that is?). We took the beloved pics in front of the MTC sign and in we went. Russ was so stoked he just wanted to get in there! We took the pictures in the front room and off we went to the dreaded "goodbye room"<br />I couldn't sing Called To Serve- too choked up. I couldn't look at Russell. I couldn't look at my mom. I could only look at the ceiling so my tears wouldn't come out. But wow could I NOT look at him saying goodbye to the family! I just had to sit in my own little world because I couldn't handle watching that, and also knew people were watching me too. I hugged him so tight and finally got the words "I love you. I'm so proud of you. I'm gonna miss you better half" out. He said "I love you too. Thanks for everything Linds. I'll miss you. Love you" and I had to let go so the others could hug him. Yes, I got another quick hug in there again..ahh I'm gonna miss those hugs. Then I stared as he smiled and walked away to the Missionary door.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2iylW1piiuIhdAiKa2RgamdMIo-B40vMeWZc0Wfie4iu3yp3uUvqqbHouDPgxVf6Ng_6BF7MV9ldvRyYIJl4tVOmSeKgJuQohPRbQkDfHTDW7MN94nd7jB7oLaGjTyYRDEEGIOt4Fpo/s1600-h/100_0170.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2iylW1piiuIhdAiKa2RgamdMIo-B40vMeWZc0Wfie4iu3yp3uUvqqbHouDPgxVf6Ng_6BF7MV9ldvRyYIJl4tVOmSeKgJuQohPRbQkDfHTDW7MN94nd7jB7oLaGjTyYRDEEGIOt4Fpo/s320/100_0170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694094682029202" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UDSc4BA1Vr3ToWNJBUUSAonnJcW9PpZ71V93k1UnTnkiajhno9EqweFN1eh2f7ygAHfE2gvjQmdI8YhSV-buehjoKYG69w1q03Pl65IyTeTch__RXJWGoEl2Uktr0G7HNwtviIZXSgo/s1600-h/100_0172.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UDSc4BA1Vr3ToWNJBUUSAonnJcW9PpZ71V93k1UnTnkiajhno9EqweFN1eh2f7ygAHfE2gvjQmdI8YhSV-buehjoKYG69w1q03Pl65IyTeTch__RXJWGoEl2Uktr0G7HNwtviIZXSgo/s320/100_0172.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694843309422882" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQtFTQPZPm1PKRh0_Q7uOk9PUR1glUQVpP47k-i51CiOVwcPSkpv-iKsSYWHRjenbMogqcR8U7QRgPsh1yN1QrNzGwoTvwvypi3wQtzt8U4eCbLOvlE0z-SPCPkszESLJoWNX8xFJAfU/s1600-h/100_0174.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQtFTQPZPm1PKRh0_Q7uOk9PUR1glUQVpP47k-i51CiOVwcPSkpv-iKsSYWHRjenbMogqcR8U7QRgPsh1yN1QrNzGwoTvwvypi3wQtzt8U4eCbLOvlE0z-SPCPkszESLJoWNX8xFJAfU/s320/100_0174.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694846050414306" border="0" /></a>Overall I think I did a great job in there.. I got myself together by time we were in the hall. The fam came and hugged me and comforted me. But yeah, I did better than I was thinking I would do...so I was pleased. (p.s. That cute boy wore the tie I gave him for his birthday. love him)<br /><br />I kinda just sat around for a while that day until Joe Tom and Christie took me out to dinner. They know how to cheer me up ;) But really, the next couple of days were fine. I think I was still in denial. I waved at the MTC when I drove to the temple down the street and when I drove home that Sunday. Luckily/Unluckily, it wasn't till Sunday when it really hit me and was real hard for me. Even though the whole family was there, I just sat in silence. I was missing MY spouse (everyone else has one..) I didn't even know where to sit at the table. haha It was just really weird for me to be there without him. It had finally hit me that he was gone.<br /><br />This is uber long and I apologize world. So I will keep the conclusion short and sweet.<br />I love getting emails and letters- especially ones he sends to my apartment.<br />I am so proud of Elder Irion and know he will do an amazing job.<br />I am so grateful to have Russell as my better half.<br />I love and miss him with all that I am.<br />Most of all i'm grateful that "It's just our luck, we're stuck together.<br />Nobody else but you"<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tRXv8aGhxwkZvG4h3XLOuZf2dZnJjpHd9KROsHX_8H1APe36wKjwsHBmFRWR4_7y3ljrFPomv7saB1MeVCL-zJTYF1Exw2qehjKPhjzgGw-i2WqJHt5ys2dH6SrwcfNk5mrv4-itgEg/s1600-h/100_0176.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tRXv8aGhxwkZvG4h3XLOuZf2dZnJjpHd9KROsHX_8H1APe36wKjwsHBmFRWR4_7y3ljrFPomv7saB1MeVCL-zJTYF1Exw2qehjKPhjzgGw-i2WqJHt5ys2dH6SrwcfNk5mrv4-itgEg/s320/100_0176.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254694850194866162" border="0" /></a>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10145982862368686008noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169107986348032854.post-52888515673325526862008-10-01T13:00:00.000-07:002008-10-01T01:55:14.594-07:00you know you're missed when...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgob4RGZnKyWeCFrHS9NQTnMo6b2OoMAWMZQrxSi7f291y05QhEwA4TtUlCKir50WwnPOJlSB8fYeP5SanCy6kuUrkNy2Hf_xIv3WQp934mUfi5bxtSG5yB-5qbVUbPximd2hr_0V8z0jk/s1600-h/DSCN0199.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgob4RGZnKyWeCFrHS9NQTnMo6b2OoMAWMZQrxSi7f291y05QhEwA4TtUlCKir50WwnPOJlSB8fYeP5SanCy6kuUrkNy2Hf_xIv3WQp934mUfi5bxtSG5yB-5qbVUbPximd2hr_0V8z0jk/s320/DSCN0199.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252105245827451522" border="0" /></a>I will admit, that it is pretty hard for me to go home now-a-days because Russell isn't there (I know I know, i'll post about that depression later ;) hehe).<br /><div style="text-align: center;">I guess it's hardest when i'm home alone and just go take naps in his room, or just walk around the house.<br />But it is all worth it when my family and friends come over.<br /><br />You know you're missed when "your boys" text or call you and see when you will be home next so you can play. I guess before Russell left I never really saw myself calling his buddies to hang out, but I would go crazy without them! We mostly talk about Russ or their upcoming missions, but I just love it. I love when they come over and say "is Russ just downstairs?" because they are joking of course, but I know it's hard for them too- I know they aren't just giving me a hard time. You know you're missed when you go to sunday school and the guys sit by you and visit the whole lesson (sorry dad). I love forgetting school and responsibility and just relaxing with my boys. You know you're missed when the boys ask when you will be home next and have to promise them that you will call them once ya get back and that you won't have a boyfriend while at college. hehe<br /><br />You know you're missed when you surprise your friends that you're home and they scream and run up to hug you. When all you want to do is sit and talk and will be so content with life. When they show up wherever you are-even if it's awkward or lame. When your friends-and their families- want you to come visit whenever you can. When they hesitate to say "when will I see you next?" or "I'll see you in a few weeks" You know you're missed when they tear up when they see you, or when you have to say goodbye again. When they won't let go of a hug because we both don't want to go home.<br /><br />You know you're missed when right when you open the front door you hear cheering. When your parents and sisters put their arms up and smile wide once they see you. When you don't have to do any chores around the house. When my mom was sad she couldn't sit by me at the Relief Society meeting and when you have to promise to sit by her at dinner after. When she kicks your sister out of "Lindsay's spot." You know you're missed when your older sisters don't mind when you follow them everywhere around the house. When they act really interested in what I have to say. When you are offered SO much of your favorite foods. When mom gets upset that we didn't get to hang out very much because of our busy schedules. Oh, and when Molly wags her tail a little extra for you.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">You know you're missed when your nieces and nephews become an extra shadow. When they sprint to you to give bear hugs and never let go. When they say "every time I come over I hope you are home!" When they ask you time and time again to play this game or this activity. When you ask if you can go to a friends house and they say "can I come with you?!" You know you're missed when the kids say "goodbye! I love you! peace out, Love you!" over and over. When they give you just one more hug before you go. And after you let go they walk away and say "I just wish Lindsay didn't ever have to leave this house" (-tyler)<br /><br />Thanks for making coming home so worth it! And making me feel not-so-alone.<br />I love you, I miss you, I want to hold you in my arms!<br /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10145982862368686008noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169107986348032854.post-57159617794774818662008-09-26T23:36:00.000-07:002008-09-26T22:36:38.320-07:00Movin Down South<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxlgo81Ky6j8uML2TaOFynlhH_zZA3qkZPARuTI-cLA_fva47sHU77CEEOGH8U8et3QwioxroX6OtP5Tac0XleWHzJ-3J8lfn_g8s0iiXcwMo9sr_c_590bUU9LNpdzqS4J4WtAMbUQA/s1600-h/GetAttachment-9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxlgo81Ky6j8uML2TaOFynlhH_zZA3qkZPARuTI-cLA_fva47sHU77CEEOGH8U8et3QwioxroX6OtP5Tac0XleWHzJ-3J8lfn_g8s0iiXcwMo9sr_c_590bUU9LNpdzqS4J4WtAMbUQA/s320/GetAttachment-9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250562314492256210" border="0" /></a>Hard to believe that this is the new "home" (or as Thomas Calton says- fake home) But it has been really fun to be on my own with "my place" "my groceries" "my kitchen" weird. hehe I'm very grateful to be so close to home though. I can't imagine having to pack pretty much everything and not being able to go home for the weekend and grab what you forgot or what you need. Lucked out for sure. :) Anyway, I'm on campus at Heritage in Horne Hall (the E is silent alright? ;) hehe )<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjErK5WIEs9nxToxk052gbBHTGqrDpfbzwnesJPouQTqw_RjQPkhyphenhyphenDkB1vCpdVh0dewSDvojJdpjZENAl1zkxuknJGoQwn3zPScPfSdr7DhINNWxrQpMTQiujJCmGxEHNvywEPg_H_I8zM/s1600-h/100_0013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjErK5WIEs9nxToxk052gbBHTGqrDpfbzwnesJPouQTqw_RjQPkhyphenhyphenDkB1vCpdVh0dewSDvojJdpjZENAl1zkxuknJGoQwn3zPScPfSdr7DhINNWxrQpMTQiujJCmGxEHNvywEPg_H_I8zM/s320/100_0013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250562321947664690" border="0" /></a>There's a pic of my crib. hehe Christie and I have matchy matchy beds thanks to our angels mothers.
