2: Brielle is still the world's greatest friend.

5: I want too much. I need to learn to just be content with what I have.
6: I'm in the mood to do lots of camping! Anybody with me?

Dear Brielle,

You are my BSFF.

You are trying just as hard as I am

to get me a job. 

Therefore, I love your guts.

<3, Kalynn. 

Dear Next Week,

I can't wait to go to the temple

and have a slumber party with my sister.

I'm not looking forward to losing a quarter of a tank of gas...

but at least I don't have to walk.

<3, excited Kalynn.

Dear Satan,

You are a douchebag.

I want to kick you where it counts

and throw gummy bears at your head.

Good thing I already know some people who 

are taking care of that.

no <3, Kalynn.

Dear Cell Phone,

If you dare allow the stupid back thing of you

to fall off ONE more time, so help you.

<3, Not happy Kalynn.

Dear Tad R. Callister,

Thank you for writing such a beautifulbook.

"The Infinite Atonement" makes me happy.

everday.

<3, Kalynn.

Dear Mama,

It's weird that I'm not home this weekend, isn't it?

<3, Kalynn.

Dear BYU computers,

please accept the transcripts that I sent you

in January, so that I don't sign up for credits

that I have already received. 

much <3, Kalynn.

10 things that made today a good day.

1: I got to see Brielle for the second day in a row. I love my BSFF. :] :]
2: Brielle took me to see the apartment we're going to be living in this fall. I adore it. It's so cute, it's got new carpet, tile, and cupboards, the kitchen is big, and decorating will be fun and easy.
3: The boyfriend took me to Jamba Juice. mm.mm.mmmm.
4: I went to a movie. I haven't been to a movie in AGES. Ages, I'm tellin' ya.
5: The movie was "Just Go For It." It's a fantastic comedy and I highly recommend it.
6: I went to said movie with my friend of 15 years, Tristan Winterton. oh, how I miss that girl.
7: I got to eat leftover steak for lunch.
8: My bracket is doing well. woot, woot!
9: I got home before 11:00, which means I might just get to bed at a decent hour tonight!
10: I get to go see my newest nephew tomorrow: Mr. Cole Nolan Johnson.

Other important matters:
--Can I just inform everyone how terrible of a song "Friday" is? What is all the buzz about it? It's not well written. The music video is completely ridiculous. And it doesn't even make me excited for Fridays.
--The boyfriend is on a camp out and I miss him...wah. poor me. boo.
-- seeing my future apartment and being around my future roommates made me way too excited for fall. It's going to be such a fun, good atmosphere!
--One of my favorite cousins is having his farewell on Sunday. I'm sad I won't see him for two years!

kay that's all. :)

-- Kalynn.

10 thing I learned this weekend.

1: Sleep is one of life's little pleasures.

2: I really really miss my parents!
3: This Spring Break is going to be a lot different than I thought it would be.
4: I need more girl friends. or..I at least need to spend more time with those that i DO have. Brielle! Where are you?!
5: I like the boyfriend even more than I thought I did. Who'da thunk it was possible?!
6: It's perfectly acceptable to eat graham crackers and milk for every meal.
7: It's really hard to watch movies when the sun is so rudely shining through your windows! (but..whatevs. I'd rather have sun. )
8: I am dying to go to the beach.
9: I adore spending my entire Sunday with Nathan.
10: Reeses cravings are too strong to fight.

Fancy Shmancy Pumpkin Pie.

My weekend,

which pretty much began with Thursday after classes ended,

was absolutly deluctable.

Here's the recap:

Thursday night presented a

NIGHT OUTWITH THE GIRLS!!

It had been a long time since I'd had one of these.

It was fan-freaking-tastic.

We drove to the ST-G and hit up Cafe Rio, and then spent a good amount of time shopping at the outlets. Then we headed over to Scott and Josh's and got yummy ice cream cones at Larsen's FROSTOP! mmmm. I love that place.

The drive home was funny...cause Emily ordered three very sugary desserts at Frostop...and...sugar just does something to her.

Friday I got to drive home with my lovely sister Julie, her husband and two children, and Matthew. We then got dressed up all fancy and went to SLC for Papa's Gala.

He is the CEO of a microcredit company that gives small loans to people in third world countries so that they can make their small businesses better and become more self sufficient. Their Motto: a hand UP, not a hand OUT.

Kind of like that moral that goes something like: give someone fish and you feed them a meal, teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.

you know?

my dad is super classy and good at asking people to donate to this beautiful cause.

I got to have Matthew as my date, and boy did he look handsome.

Well...he always does. It's so distracting.

Anyway.
David Archuletta was there and he sang some songs and also his mother did too. Because she grew up in Honduras, which is one of the countries my dad's business helps.
He has a tragically wonderful voice. and even though I didn't know any of his songs..I don't think he sang any of his most popular ones anyway.

But he does sound lovely.

Saturday was fantastic because I got to see my dearest, most best friend in the ENTIRE world,
BRIELLE PORTER.

she is my soul-mate-friend. As in..if any two people in the world were meant to be friends, it would be us. We're the same person..in a very good way. We never argue, dispute, or disagree. And we don't live in a friendship fantasy world either. We're 100% honest with each other. I know she'd never talk about me behind my back, because if she had a problem with me, she'd say it to my face and we'd talk over it. Cause we're mature like that. :) But seriously...I don't even say "I hope I'll be friends with Brielle my whole life..." Because she's basically my sister. I don't have to worry about it. I KNOW she'll be there my entire life. She's just that kind of friend for me.

it had been MONTHS since I had seen her.
months, I'm telling you.

Because she spent her whole summer working in Texas, and now goes to school at BYU and I'm here at SUU...and...it's just difficult. But I gathered her and our other dear friend Rachel Wade and we all went to lunch together at Pizza Factory.

It's amazing how normal it feels between good friends, even when it seems like it's been an eternity.

ah. I love Bri and Rachel.

And now here I am, back at my cosy little dorm room at SUU.

which I do love as well.

ah life..you are so beautiful to me.

Love,

Kay.
