Blogger Fail.

I just realized I fail at blogging and I am doing it all wrong.

1) I don't have a white background - It's like a trend to have a white background. Like all the big bloggers have white backgrounds, I guess cause it looks cleaner...idk. I recently changed mine but it's still ugly. Since I made this blog I haven't had a layout I liked. I am seriously lacking the html skills I had when I used MySpace in middle school.

2) I don't have an SLR camera - WTF. Again, all the big bloggers have super nice cameras. Recently, I have been wanting one so bad but they're so expensive! I am totally open to suggestions on how to get a good deal on one.

3) I don't have a cool blog name - The Perspective of a yada yada yada? WTF is that?! It's not cute, short, and memorable. Maybe one day something cute will pop into my head. Ha yeah right, when has that ever happened?!


So what does this all mean? Just that I fail even more at being a Mormon wife. Sigh...

My Obsession.

Okay so I'm about to admit something totally embarrassing but I don't even care because I KNOW like 95 percent of other girls do it too. So here it goes...I am totally obsessed with watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. Lame right? Well I've been watching them ever since high school but recently I have been super addicted because I found two gurus that I'm obsessed with. The first one is Carlibel55. I've been following her pretty much all year. First of all she's gorgeous and does great looks! She uses a mix of high end products and drug store products which is why I really like her. Her videos are short and she doesn't babble too much.Then literally like last week I discovered Jaclynhill1. She isn't as popular as Carlibel55 but I know she will be soon. At first she is really annoying but she knows her stuff. Oh and just to warn you, she is a MAC snob. I am like convinced I need all MAC products after watching her. It's bad. So if you secretly watch makeup tutorials on YouTube too go check these gals out! And please tell me your favorites so I can watch them too! ;)

A recap of 2012!

Wow, I am so glad this year is coming to an end! It has been pretty crazy so I hope 2013 will be much better! Here is a recap of what happened this year.

I got accepted to my dream school but ended up hating it.

Stayed in and ordered pizza for Valentine's Day. 

 Saw The Vow with Kyle

 Did a sushi making class!

 Kyle transferred to BYU-H and I bawled my eyes out. I went into depression mode.

 Mom and Lyn visited me in Provo to cheer me up!

 

  My beloved cousin, Alice Demske Hansen, passed away. 

 

The family came up to Utah for Alice's funeral. We were able to go exploring in Salt Lake City!  

 

Decided to abandon my apartment contract and plane ticket to road trip home early with the fam back to Texas! {So glad I made that decision}

Went to my cousin's high school graduation!

Spent my birthday with my family but no Kyle :( I got a canoe though! haha

Went wedding dress shopping with my family! {need to do a blog post on this}

 

 Took a road trip to Minnesota with my family. This is the log cabin my aunts and uncles grew up in.

 Spent the 4th with family!

 Moved to the great state of Hawaii to be reunited with my love and go to BYU-H!

 I got engaged!

Made some great friends!

 

I got two new beautiful baby cousins! Jamie and Ariana!

 

Married my soul mate!

This year has been bipolar to say the least. Kyle and I went through our toughest phase in our relationship and I have made the worst grades ever in my academic career. Yet I spent an amazing summer with my family and got married in the Laie Temple! I am so excited to see what next year has in store!

Peanut Butter.

When our family came to stay for our wedding, they stayed in a rental house and bought TONS of food. So when they left we got to keep everything that was left over. While we were putting it all away in our new apartment, we found an almost full jar of peanut butter! Now it wasn't the small jar either, it was a big, brand-named jar of peanut butter! We were so excited because we don't usually buy peanut butter cause it's like $6 a jar! It's embarrassing I know.

So today when I went into work I saw a gift on my desk. I got a card, Bath & Body Works goodies and a Costco-sized jar of peanut butter! I had told my boss the story when it happened and she remembered.

It's amazing how such a small gesture can make someone feel so special. I truly believe that this is what Christmas is about. It's not about seeing who can spend the most money, but really showing someone that you care by remembering that they're poor and buying them a huge jar of peanut butter ;).

The semester is over!

So I wasted my Friday night by making a 74 on my finance final tonight -_-. Not exactly how I wanted to start my weekend but hey, the semester is over! I was actually not as stressed as I usually am for finals. I think having so much anxiety from the wedding made finals feel like nothing. I feel like I worked a lot harder this semester than I did during the summer. I literally spend on average 12 hrs on campus everyday. I had class starting at 8:40-10 then work til 5, dinner, then accounting and finance labs until 11. Even though I feel like I worked so hard, my grades still won't show for it. It's so frustrating to me because getting a B is like getting an A for me now. Hopefully next semester I will be able to kick it up a notch. But in the mean time, I get to spend Christmas in Hawaii with the love of my life! :)



****sorry I don't care if you think all my posts are boring now because I'm not getting married anymore.

Orchestra!

Since it's the end of the semester our orchestra was able to perform two concerts last week! All semester we have been working on Handel's Messiah. It's an oratorio with like 50 something movements, lucky we only played about half of them. I am so glad that I was able to participate in orchestra this year, it was really fun! I had the best stand partner ever, my roommate, and got to meet a lot of cool people! Now, my orchestra experience wouldn't be complete without that one special person who all orchestras have! It's the person who...

Thinks they're the soloist and the star of the show and play as loud as they can!
ALWAYS came late to rehearsal!
PLUCKS and TUNES while the conductor is talking!
Doesn't follow the right bowings!
and....RUSHES!!!

And of course they were in the 1st violin section. Nonetheless the concert turned out great and I can't wait to see what's in store for next semester! ^.^

Family Ward.

Yesterday was our first Sunday at church! Now since we are students, we have the choice of going to a married student ward or a family ward. If you know Kyle, you know he definitely did not want to go to the student ward. I really didn't care.
So since Kyle and I moved to Kahuku people would ask me what our new ward was but I had know clue. I just told them that we lived by the hospital and they'd go, "Oh you're in Kahuku 1st ward! That's the best ward!" So, we go to church and man is it huge! Since Kahuku/Laie area is so small, we saw professors, co-workers, and fellow students. One of the ladies that works in my office is the relief society president. She is a hoot.
After church the bishop wanted to meet with us and the other new couple that just moved in. He's from Fiji and has a super thick accent. He's super nice though! Anyways, we loved it and are so glad to be in a family ward again!
