Why didn't we ever put pictures on here? for rizzle.

i miss m10 too

Hey... so I kind of want to know how everyone's life is! please? haha.. maybe you want to know how mine is too... whoops!

my life is great.... i only wish i could get my name changed and finish moving in. that would be lovely. AND i am only taking 12 credit hours... yes... i am a slacker. But i also have to cook food every night. usually. AND i like my job. for the most part.

i promise to update my blog soon... but for now.... "WHAT IS GOING ON?" :)

missing m10

i miss my little friends.

i'm heeeeeere!

well i am currently sitting alone in the good ole' m10 and i am missing my original m10ians. i just thought i'd let you all know.

da move.

so i'm currently in a super cheap hotel in hill city, south dakota, and I decided to let you know that i have survived the cross country trip thusfar. we're going to see mt. rushmore in about an hour or so and i'm way excited. worry not, though. pictures will be taken :)

so we actually left our house on the 24th COMPLETELY empty. it was the weirdest thing. especially having to pack up 30 years worth of junk. we had these movers come and pack it all up for us and one of them was seriously a giant!! no joke. he was huge. my brother and i laughed about it for a while and then quickly got out of his way whenever he was coming toward us with about 10 boxes in his arms. so we left (so hard) and went westward. as we drove through west virginia, my mom said, "well, we are currently homeless and unemployed in west virginia. it's rather fitting."

we then went the rest of the day (13 HOURS!!!) to st. louis and stopped for a day with my sister, brother-in-law, and adorable nephew. and i think i got enough pictures of my nephew to make a flip book. we then went on to nauvoo, winter quarters, and are now in south dakota. tomorrow we'll head on over to byu-idaho for michelle to look around, and then we'll be on our way (finally) to utah to close on our house! it's been an eventful and fun trip :)

these are the adventures of the lowe family.

hi friends that keep me updated on life.... or not. whatever. that's ok. i don't need to know if you are dying or getting married or anything...

i just have a few words to say. i have retainers that i have to wear for six months and they stink. because they hurt and i can't talk.

AAAAAAAAANDDDDDDDD .............. I KNOW

new house :)

oh, and p.s. if anyone cares and you want to see our new house here's the website! yay! i really like it, but it definitely doesn't compare to the one we have now..... schmeh.

'I LIIIIIIIIIIIVVEE!!!!!!"

just in case you're wondering, that's a quote from mulan. and it pretty much was a response to alex's reference to us all being dead.... so again, "I LIIIIVE!!"

alright fine, i'm officially weird. but i just wanted to say that i fail at this whole blogging thing and i'm sorry! okay so, alex, i had no idea what you wrote in spanish on your post so i decided to use a crappy online translation thing and this is what they gave me: "I learned like to cook bean".... hahahahahaha i think that you probably knew what you were talking about and this online translation is just dumb. oh, and i'm sorry about your nazi teacher! good thing you'll have a break after this till school starts again!

and have fun at your camping trip with the bradley james family, jessica. now you'll get to experience the nasty, hot, dirty-ness of camping with each other while trying to impress his family at the same time! haha i don't think i would pass this test very well.... but i'm sure it'll be just great! bring back a pretty rock for us :)

and amanda.... FREAK where are you???? (well that was probably useless to write that because i don't think you check this ever anyway which is LAME.).... love you!

so my life. we have a house in utah. it's in centerville which is a little north of salt lake. which means that it's only like 45 minutes away and we have REAL FOOD AND FREE LAUNDRY OPPORTUNITIES, ALEX!!!!!! yay. oh and we're moving out officially on july 24th and driving cross country for a couple days to see some fun sights :). i'm really really excited and so ready to be done with my job. LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! and then i have summer for a month before school starts!!! ohyayohyayohyay! (i think that was from raising helen, or something... i'm such a movie freak)

ok well i'm off. bed sounds nice, but it's unlikely that i'll actually do anything about that for another hour or something... typical.

LOVEYOUALLANDMIIIIIIIIIISSSSSyou.

So.... i am not dead... yet. I might be after this week. I have A LOT to decide on this week... abuh. but then on tuesday i am going camping with brad's family... very exciting. and i will have to fly home... before i shower... so i feel bad for whoever will be sitting next to me on july 7... muahaha!

i miss you all. come to my house!

i have a nazi teacher this week. and 2.5 hours of homework last night. however i like her a lot because i have learned a lot.

and i am going to buy a chocolate banana hoy.

y yo aprendí como cocinar frijol

glad to know you arent all dead. except i dont know that. hint hint

k love you bye

i bought a double chocolate brownie today.

EDIT there is an elvis impersonator doing a show at our school in 5 minutes.
the joys of guatemala

not dead...yet

i am alive

i am learning to cook all kinds of food. so jeannine and i will be eating good next year. yeeeeeeeah. i supppppose you guys can come to. no husbands allowed though. only once a month for a special husband day. deal?

my friend jackie and i went down to lago de atitlan this weekend. needless to say we almost died our fair share of times. took about 8 chicken buses just to get there. had to escape our hostel by climbing the fence, and were seriously stalked by a sketchy guatemalan man in purple pants. good times

um amanda...i am excited for your wedding in 30 days? 23 to my birthday so i am figuring its 30 yeah? and reuniticion will be phenomenal. reunition...im sending that one to webster

things are good. a little more than 2 more weeks here than party time with the roommates and cookies. cant ask for more than that huh?

um i love you all
alex

Hello?..................... Is ANY BODY THERE????? (echo)

really where is everyone? honestly i have been checking this thing daily and no one is here! anywho. life updates. so I got my bishop interview done to take out my endownments... one down one to go! I am so happy right now. One step closer to summer being done!

ALSO i have made big progress on wedding stuff. so here's what is going down. i am doing my reception in a chapel, but not a big stake center. It has carpet. I am having a draped ceiling. AND its kind of like a garden theme.... kind of. there will be lots of fake trees and stuff. NO COLUMNS. My centerpieces are going to be white and yellow tulips... we might do real because it might be cheaper. And purple tablecloths. and my bouquet is going to be white hydrangeas with purple roses and bridesmaids will have white hydrangeas with yellow roses and a little smaller. AND there are these cool flower balls that people are doing that i might have standing on the food table... they will prolly be fake.

AND i have glasses. go figure. i only wear them when i drive though. and in class(when i have it in fall)

so that's my life right now.......

please note: brad and i have a blog now..... if you guys want to check it out:

CLICK HERE

idea. So i figured out how to change the color scheme..... so i think that everyone should choose their favorite color and then that could be the colors on our blog..... kind symbolic don't ya think? anywho... that's just a weird idea of mine let me know what you think!!

this is my official thank you note

awwww i am so proud of you guys for posting.

(amanda...¿donde estás?...hint hint)

i miss our apartment.

my thanks go out to all of you for keeping me updated. life here is different but not nearly as hilarious as the apartment. i am glad everyone is well

hasta mañana

p.s. I miss m10!!!! and you all!!!! seriously though. i don't like having my own room. its boring!!!!

Don't hate me for having no life alex. Not all of us get to have crazy adventures and near death experiences everyday. :) but i still love you. and i am glad that you have not died.

Life is good. I am either working or making wedding plans or talking to brad. that's it. good life huh? Work is REALLY slow right now. Who knew that an economic depression would keep people from coming in to deposit money. anywho. that's work. its fun. but people like to talk my ear off. and no one is nearly as funny as my m10 buddies.

So wedding plans... slightly hilarious/slash not. I finally know what i want to do. like... the style i want to use for decorations. ITS SO HARD. seriously. I have libby trying to convince me to do one thing and my mom another... meh. but, as i said i know what i want to do now so its all good!!!! at least i didn't have only a month to plan like Jenna J. CRAZY.

i went to oregon last weekend. talk about AMAZING!!!! it is so pretty up there!!! The people are hilarious. WEll looks wise. Everyone i saw i wanted to take pictures of and send them to you guys. I did take pictures which i will post on here.... but that won't be for another month seeing as how i left my camera in oregon. I decided Brad's family is cool. we will get along splendidly.

toodles for now!!

my life.

hahaha my apologies to alex for sucking at posting.

whew, now that that's off my shoulders.... life for me now is... just going. i am STILL working (and why they still want me after a month of not knowing what i'm doing is beyond me!) from 9-5 and i am proud to say that i'm am also still running at 6:30 before work! amazing, i know. so yeah, life is slow. i'm not learning spanish, dancing with little 8 year old girls, planning a wedding, or anything exciting. just missing my m10 girls :)

oh, and i may have FINALLY figured out my internet. i've tried practically everything and nothing's seemed to work. so this better work. and if it does, we are going to have a major session on thursday to discuss LOST and our lives!!! so again, i'll keep you updated.

ummm.... oh. ha. and big news. we might have sold our house. or at least this family (who happen to be MORMON) put an offer on the house and it's going off the internet. we'll probably end up moving late july or early august and i'll just quit my job then and come out with the family!

my personal life is good... but slow. personal details upon request ;)

i love you all!!!!! muah.

no offense but you guys kind of suck at this. for real. i want news people.

p.s. i am not coming home. i cannot leave the food here. plus my 8 year old friends would have no one to put make up on and dance with.

p.p.s. there is a guy from china living with us now. and it has led to some fairly hilarious stories.

i live on this website apparently

ok so i am writing again? dont judge me ok

so i am here. in xela. which is the code name for quetzaltenango i guess you would say. its going to rain soon and i am dreading walking back to my house.

i have no idea what i am doing here. i suck at spanish. my first day here i went to bed at 8.

but things are getting better. i miss home a lot. there are so many little things that i take for granted.

although the food here is fabulous. and i have never seen any place more stunning in my life. its indescribable.

i am going to tikal on thursday. wish me luck and pray i dont have a rerun of last time i visited mayan ruins.

ummmm ok thats it. i miss you all. even you jessica.

hmmm so i am packing right now. and as we all know...for me, procrastination during packing is a must. sooo thats about where we stand right now.

I'm leaving tomorrow. weird.

ok

i miss you all. except you jessica. not that i don't miss you but i just saw you the other day. i'll miss you in guatemala though if that counts. i'm stopping now before i get myself in trouble.

ugh.

well, alex, i would like to let you know that i gave in to the horrible idea of running as well.... at least i did it today. but i plan on doing it every morning... before work... at 6:30 in the morning. schmeh. i must be dedicated or something. ha. right. so hopefully this will last.... :)

taaa-daaaaaaaaa

Dear Everyone,

I figured out how to change the blog so that everyone is now an "admin" and not just "authors"

Basically, now everyone can add polls and pictures to the side and everything and not just me. Happy days.

Love,
Alex

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND

HELLO EVERYONE!!! meet my car. i was out shopping for bridesmaid dresses with my mom and amber and then my mom said we needed to go. And then we walked outside and BAM! car. IT was kind of funny. anywho. I have yet to name this new addition. suggestions are welcome. :)

m10-ness.

so i felt like sharing some of the pictures that i had that i knew would (and should) never make it to facebook (at least some of them, anyway). here’s some of our insanity at its finest, published for all to see (or at least all those who dare to venture onto our bloggie territory….)

oh and i wanted to post a movie i had but for some reason it wasn't working.... schmeh.

I finished Eclipse yesterday. So it is now safe to discuss.

Clearly I have nothing to do with my time. I watch the Hills and read about vampires all day. And sit by the pool. Maybe we should just skip the Eclipse discussion and talk about how thrilling I am instead. You decide

Get out of my belly!!!

So last night i woke up at 2:45 and felt a little cramped up so i was like "dang! I started in the middle of the night again. So i went into my kitchen to get some pain relief and all of a sudden i was like, WHOA! what in the world is going on with my stomach? Next thing i knew I was until 7 AM with the runs, throwing up and unable to sleep because my stomach was going crazy. Basically I wanted to die. I honestly thought, "please just let me die."

But at seven there was good news! Brad and i called the temple and we now have an official wedding date!! it is at noon (utah time) on august 16th! woohoo! AND i finally fell asleep after that and now i don't feel like i am going to die. tada!

so....like...the hills tonight? anyone see it....

steven's back? whaaaat?!

thats the most drama i've had in my life in a long time

This Stinks

This post is inspired by my recent problem of crying. I have to fight back the tears at such random times in the day. it's ridiculous. Like the back of all ya'lls heads. really though. At night it just comes out. i can't even stop it. Alex... you can punch me if you want, i understand know. And Amanda - i don't know how you spent have of your engagement away from Gary. For reals. It stinks. But you know what... i guess it's ok to cry because sesame street told me so.

I vote to add this character to our "cool ways to sleep club"

All those agree raise your right hand. and then respond or something so we know you raised your right hand.

SUMMER IS SAD!

Can I just say that I'm kinda hating summer right now? I mean, not really, but in the case of everyone leaving, this is the case. I don't normally cry but this is definitely the exception! Let's please please please talk and keep each other updated this summer?

(and Amanda, this is for you: Buzz, your girlfriend! WOOF!)

I miss you all already!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!!!!

YOU CRAZY.

BUT I LOVE IT

Hi friends! so i finally figured out how to use this. This is a picture of me... going crazy. because i am. I can't do the finals anymore!!! don't make me :( I am really glad that German will be done today. Maybe then my face will go back to normal....

A fair representation?

I wish jeannine wasn't looking at me while i did this........


she is really good at tetris though. ask her about it...she has proof.



I think this represents our apartment fairly well though. Like superbly well

my special announcement.

okay so i have an announcement to make: I am engaged to chris brown as of this morning. sorry alex, but he's mine. little did you know that we had this secret relationship going on behind your backs - HA! fooled you! haha but really. i did. because it's april fools day. i'm so good at this!! you guys all believed me, huh? i thought so. okay i'm done.


...... okay i'm officially odd i don't know where this came from but i feel like this april fools day is fading away without any success on my part.....and you can all laugh at me now (not with me, but you can if you want to - it might make me feel a little better about myself). wow i'm retarded. haha

happy APRIL FOOL'S DAY, my loves :)

a proposition

Jeannine...you are sitting across from me right now. WHY aren't you spreading the magic with hot man in 26. Not that I want to get rid of you. In my opinion you should just go get him and bring him here actually. Have him bring cookies.

m10 love

We so funneeeeeeeee!!! New album cover? I'm thinking so, even if we don't have a band :)

Party

hi new blog. I think we will be good friends. Summer shall not destroy the love we have created over the course of dos semesters.

ok i'm done now.
