Stuck In A Rut...

Well. I finally got the Idaho experience. Me my cousin Sammy, and her roommate Mel, got stuck in an Idaho potato field in the middle of no where the other night. It wasn't even deep snow...we just were on the grass, which was covered in ice....and my wheels were just spinning and my car wasn't budging. We were trying to call people we knew to come help us and no one was answering. Finally this truck drove by so we honked. It was a super nice Idaho potato farmer. Long story short he hooked up my car and pulled me right out. Memorable quotes from this night were....
"I definitely had placenta on this jacket a few minutes ago" -Lady at Wendy's
"I could marry a Idaho boy" - Mel
" This is a nice place to have dinner"- Farmer
"Whoaaa there cowgirl!"- Farmer (By far my favorite quote!)
The sweet part is, when he was done fixing up my car he said "Have you seen the movie pay it forward? Well, I want you to pay a favor to someone else for me helping you tonight." I thought that was the sweetest thing, he is definitely making a difference in this world. So my goal is to pay it forward the next few days! :) I gave someone a ride home today....I guess thats a start, right?                                                                        

                                             If you look real closely you can see him under my car!

                                            See, the snow wasn't even deep...it was just ice

This is how we roll here in Rexburg...

Well the sun came out for the first time in weeks today. It was so warm all the snow is melted and no one is wearing coats. I really wanted to start to get a good tan...but I also had to work. So this is what I rigged up....
Please ignore my white legs haha. Im working on it.
But yes I was laying on my desk with my laptop on my stomach and dangling my legs outside of the window. I got some looks...but I don't care. It was warm. I got a little bit of color. And I got some work done :)

Today started off good....

Super delicious homemade biscuits and gravy and a large dr. pepper. Can life get better? I submit that it cannot! :)

Reading...

Well...I was reading an article for my marriage class. It talked about the decline of woman in the past 100 years. It talked about how most woman today don't have any sophistication and no respect for themselves. It talked about how men like classy woman. Someone who can hold a intellectual conversation, someone to impress their friends, and someone that they can take home to their parents. I decided I am not "Classy" enough. So I am going to start trying. It talked about how the main thing to become sophisticated is to read the classics. It will help better improve your vocabulary, language, and intellect. So what am I going to start  doing? Reading the classics. I had already made a new years goal that I wanted to watch less TV and read more...So I guess this is my chance. I went to the library and got the works of Oscar Wilde.

I have quiet music playing, I have hot chocolate, a yummy apple/cinnamon candle burning, and a warm blanket. Sounds like a recipe for a good night :)

Where the blacktop ends...

Thats right...the semester is coming to a close in just a few weeks. Guess where i'm going to afterwards? I'm moving home... I have kind of been bummed about it, but after talking to my family a few times I'm so dang excited. Warmth, four wheelers, parents that I love dearly, swimming, and old friends! I actually think this is going to be a good summer. I miss my parents so much and I really want to spend a lot of time and do fun things with them this summer :) So as I was cleaning my room this morning this song came on on iTunes. I thought it applied very well and I had to share...

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
Ridin' on a river of freeway lights
Goodbye city I'm country bound
'Til Monday rolls around

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Workin' in the grind is an uphill road
Punchin' that clock and carryin' that load
I bust it all week and then I'm free
The weekend belongs to me

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Give me some fresh air give me that farm
Give me some time with you in my arms
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the noise

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul, you betcha

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Where the blacktop ends!



Let me just say that I love Keith Urban dearly haha. Anyway. I'm actually excited to go home and have such a good summer with my family! <3 Can't wait!

A letter...

Dear Disneyworld,

I've never been so excited in my life, I wanna cry! Its going to be the best 2 days of my life!

Ughhhh. Only 21 more days. I'm already getting way ahead on my homework and packing..... I know I know i'm being a little over excited...but wouldn't you be?!?!?!?!? 

Thank you for being there to pull me through the hard part of this semester...I don't usually say this so quickly to people....but.......I LOVE YOU! I just can't hold it in any longer. 

Only a few more weeks ......

Until then...

Your biggest fan,

Hannah

Reward?

So as part of my child development class, we have been discussing reinforcements (pretty much a reward for doing something good.) I decided it would be fit to give myself a reinforcement tonight after getting an A on that test. So what do I do?

Well....whatever works :)
