"Another Great Day at BYU-Idaho"...

President Clark always says this at the beginning of devotional every tuesday and these past 2 days that has actually been a true statement! It's been in the mid 30's, no snow, and the sun is just a shining!

Yesterday was Valentine's and we woke up to this

Someone "heartattacked" us aww how sweet. Oh look it's from sweet ol apartment 106, the lovely girls right undernieth us that we've never met before. Lets look a little closer shall we?

We wanted to bring them cookies or something for being SO sweet!

But this was the real reason for the construction paper hearts. "Roses are red, Violets are blue remember to be quiet but we still love you" No cookies for them and we are gonna have a wild dance party located directly above apartment 206 very soon! haha

We thought about repling by writing them a little note saying:

"Roses are red, violets are blue we'll jump even louder just to annoy you"

Then my mom suggested this one:
"Roses are red, camels are tan we will try the best we can"

The rest of my Valentine's was so good! Seriously I didn't expect to get anything but I got so many sweets!

I was surprised by my friend Enoisa who sent me a big cookie and chocolate covered pretzels.

My visiting teachers brought me a Card and little debbie snacks.

and my AMAZING Daddy sent me roses and a gift card for the grocery store out here!

and then of course for FHE we decorated sugar cookies to give away to people for the holiday and I may or may not have eaten every other cookie I decorated.... lol

Starting today (after I finish my last Valentine sweet haha) I'm going on a sugar strike!

Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Today was a really blah, lazy, i need to go workout, i'm way behind in studying, but i don't care, down day but then i checked the mail....

... and got this amazing Valentine from this kid in England ;) It's gonna be a great night! Oh and i have no idea what he's doing in either picture because of course he didn't give any explanation haha.

What did you get from your Valentine?

Savannah got this email and sent it to me. I had to share.

The Man Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally , the guys' side of the story. ( I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear " the rules" From the female side....
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers. (FIRST & FOREMOST RULE)
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1.. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem ONLY if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it , just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no IDEA WHAT MAUVE IS.

1. IF IT ITCHES, IT will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle..

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football or Hockey.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

8 months!

BAM!

8 months down. 16 to go. the time just flew by! amazing.
