HE'S BACK!
my bestest best guy is backkk.
Brandon Robert King.


After serving in Mexico City for 2 yrs my best friend has come homeee.

now for my funny story.
brandon came back monday. . .
i had beeeeen patiently waiting for his call for days. okay not days but it seemed like days. i know you take time for the fam when you get home but i was getting very impatient!
Yesterday morning [wednesday]
i saw that i had missed a call. and the number looked familiar.
i called the number back and it went straight to the voicemail.
it was one of those voicemails that has an operator saying you have reached...and then it's just a clip of them saying their name. if that makes sense. so according to the voicemail it was Annette.
I have an aunt name Annette. And that is why it looked so familiar.
I was busy yesterday and had no time to call my aunt back so many times until she answered so I just decided I had already tried once and now I will forget about it. Then she called me two hours after that. I didn't want to asnwer--so I didn't. The number called me again after that. I thought if my aunt really had some emergency then she would call my house or leave a freakin message on my phone.
then the doorbell rang.
i looked out the window at what seemed like my aunts van.
i was freaking out and telling my brother and sister to act like my phone had died
{we all lie sometimes. do not judge}
but it ended up just being some lady in my ward.
I was doing my homework when my "aunt" called again. I was so bugged so I JUST ANSWERED IT!!
-HELLLLLLO?
-Nicole?
{it sounded like my cousin--aka annette's son}
-Yeah! whaat??
-Nailer, this is Brandon!
at that moment it ALL came together. Brandon was on his Mom's phone that I had called a couple weeks ago so of course it looked familiar to me. And guess what his mom's name is? Annette. DUH.
Oh wow it definitely was a funny day considering that he had been calling me all day but I didn't asnwer thinking it was my aunt.
Lesson to be learned here?
i think so.
anyway he's home he's home and it's so fantastical.
ps sorry that my posts are getting more and more useless and boring. useless seems to be what i specialize in now-a-days.
pps friends that appreciate bachelor? lets all get together for the final final. capeesh?

land of disney.

this past week or so i have had disneyland on my mind. and i do not know why.
most people think i am the biggest freak for being so obsessed but it really is the greatst thing on earth. when i go there i literally am freaking out the whole entire time. MAYBE we will stop for something to eat but i am go go go for most of the day!

As I was thinking about all of my wonderful trips to this magical place one comes to my mind very strongly. and i just think it would be fun to re-cap that trip. Only Molly will truely enjoy this. .



A'CAPELLA TRIP SENIOR YEAR.

I got to spend a week of 'disney fun' with these fantastic people :) It was a little weird because these were not my group of friends at the time. I only knew Sienna and we were put in a room with Molly Jane and Hayley Brady but it ended up being the best thing that could have ever happened!! This picture was one of the last that we took as a group. I remember Tanner running around trying to ask people to take our picture. For some reason it was the funniest thing.




PICTURES GALORE were taken. You can imagine how crazy I went. Sienna and I had our cameras out the whole entire time. We got pretty close this trip and I really really missssss her.



I didn't know Molly and Hayley at all but we got a long so well and fast. We were together all the time during that trip. We had two queen beds and I remember at night we'd all just sit in the dark and talk talk talk. It was valentines week I believe and Tennison had given Molly a gift to give to Hayley. I was super jealous. Oh and us four while our 5th room mate went out and got some ice...? hah


Molly, is this not the best inside joke we have ever had??? This picture captures it all I think.
We were walking through downtown disney--where all the hotels and shops are and we see these lovely ladies. They were probably about 12 years of age going on 26. Basically all I could hear was "like..i know and like..like" Molly Hayley and I followed them all the way to their hotel. Linking arms just like them walking riiiight behind them. I am surprised they didn't notice or hear us mocking them. Molly did we not follow them into the elevator? That part of my memory was foggy. Ohh this was one of the highlights for sure.

Do you know that I do this all the time because I learned it from this moment? Everytime I think of you toooo! Tanner totally hated me and my sarcastic humor at first and it was great. Doesn't everybody though? Haha and Hayley believed I was a junior in high school until afterrr we got home hahahah


[molly you are super attractive here]




Buying food was a joke. I try not to do that often. I mean I don't have time for food while I am at disneyland, come on. But this was our last night and for some reason-- the most expensive meal! We had seven at a table for four. I'm pretty sure I was holding my plate while eating ha



This little lady was the best to me. Her dance moves, stories, and laugh made my whole trip. She would stay up and tell me her wholeeee history with the love of her life and I loved every second of it. One night we turned on some music and Molly did this classic dance to Bringin Sexy Back while Hayley and I watched in our beds. The video won't upload but one day it will and you are all in for a TREAT!!!

lets go back.
Sienna Molly Hayley Alex Thad. Let's go back. We'll pick up Tanner on the way. . .

bless you triplE AAAAAA.

i come out of school this morning to a car that will not start. i have never had that before..even though i knew it was probably the battery i freaked out anyway. i call my mom and she said to call the triple AAAAAAAA guys to come jump start it. noo way. i hate making scenes and i was not going to call someone to come and tow me out of the UVU parking lot. sooo i call waynee because i knew he was at the school. i guess i sounded like i was freaking out {which i was} because he asked if i was okay?..if my car was in the middle of the road somewhere? HA no. even though i was safely parked in my parking stall i was scared out of my mind! haha..but really. i told him that i was not going to just call triple AAAAAA and he calmly goes "nicole. those people are there to help you." haha i was laughing so hard. anyway so i finally bucked up and called them. the tow guy couldn't find me at first because i was in the middle of the maze that you call uvu student parking. so i got out of my car and jumped up and down wailing my arms everywhere. thank goodness it was in the middle of the hour so people were still in class and not driving or walking by. Travis found me and stepped out of the car. i about froze. he was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo attractive. even though he looked like he had just worked on a million cars, he smelled like heaven. i was lovin it. this was the best decision i had made! we talked for a while and i was so sad when my car started and he drove away haha. the people in the car that had pulled up next to me while i was waiting for travis had come out of the school and was leaving as travis was. they were so nice and said "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU WERE STRANDED!!?" oh i love old people. well the diagnosis is my 5 year battery needed to be change and i am now sitting in the toyota store foyer waiting.and waiting.and waiting.

celine is tonight. COME COME COME watch her. please?

i love this and of course stuart little.
graphics and what people can do these days are all so amazing..

2.16.2010

my.valentines.of.six.

happy valentines DAY!!
wow. even though it is offically over. i hope you all had a fabulous valentines day! whaat a weekend.
everyone had dates saturday except me caitlin and gabrielle. being the lovely losers that we are, we decided to join all the hundreds of couples and went and saw this amazing movie:
i absolutely loved it! way more than i ever thought i would. when i watched the preview i feel like i was watching he's just not that into you. which i was not really a fan of {even though everything in that movie/book is 100% true} i loved loved ashton in this movie. his story is so cute. also with the little boy. tears were definitely running down my face. i would definitely go see that movie again. even if it was in the middle of summer. valentines day a must see!

v.day dinner. . .
this was honestly such a terrific v.day this year. and i owe it all to these glorious beautiful ladies....

caitlin practically did everything. thanks for making us din din! she'll be a fantastic mama.

the beautiful table setting! somehow we decided that covering the menorah with a decorative scarf was such a good idea...






hahahahahaha. craaa-watch.
this is a given when you have balloons.















i feel like i have never in my life laughed as hard as i did this night. during this ten minute period of taking jumping pictures i did in fact die. picture after picture regan's faces were the best. ohh how i love my woman with stubs. hahahahah





my valentines were my lovely ladies of six.. becky rene, caitlin paige, gabrielle the lovely, amelia rose, regan shae, and destry ann.. and i wouldn't have had it any other way.
loveeee you.

kelsey. marjorie. kimball.
{do not blame me for the spelling dear.
i did infact sound it out}

Sooo i had a request on what to blog about. and guess who requested it??


this little ray of sunshine!!




this is my kelsey baby. ever since i have met her that name has been her name in my phone. i love her. i love her. i love her. she is the most caring, loving, FANTASTIC person i have ever met and i am so grateful to have her in my life and be one of my very best friends. she is an amazing listener. she is so sensitive to people's feelings. she can make me laugh INSTANTLY. i feel like there is nothing that she can't do. {and usually i hate those kinds of people but i like her..a lot.} i have the honor of seeing this lovely lady every morning bright and early for math class. she is the reason i come. {when i come} i love sitting by her and just busting up laughing at anything and everything she does. she is getting married to a such a darling boy who i also adore, named craig. IN MAY. that is so so soon. i get to see how beautiful they are with each other everyday and i honestly love it. makes me feel depressed about my own love life? well yeah! ha but i am still unbelievably happy for them.


i love you kelsey baby. thank you for being you because it is the best ever!!

bruce.

for security reasons we will call him bruce. {hahahhah i just laughed out loud}

i had no idea really what to expect. i think that is why i was so nervous. the night before he had told me that he was thinking between 7-8 pm, leaning more torwards 8. so at about 530 i thought i should start getting ready. I got out of the shower and saw that i had missed bruce's call.
i called him back.
he proceeded to tell me that he would leave his house at about 615...i was like "615 as in 30 minutes!?" i could already tell this was NOT going to be my night..

as fast as i could i dried my hair and did my makeup. the doorbell rang riiight as i was finishing. i might as well have been finishing my marathon because i was sooo red in the face from rushing. when i opened the door i immediately realized he was not exactly my type {whatever the heck my type is} but he was going to be nice. hey, nice boys are better than mean.

when we were driving back to his house for dinner he began to dis my school. calling it "uvu high" and when i told him i had just done homework for the past couple hours he looked at me and laugh. as you know from my previous posts THAT is my biggest pet peeve. college is college and call me not smart-BUT UVU IS HARD FOR ME.

okay i do not consider myself a clean freak. just a normal clean, neat person. i understand boys apartments are never really clean at all. but i have never really experienced filth hitting me in the face when i walked in. his dog had just "spit up" in the corner and he said 'oh he always does that.'

GET ME OUT OF HERE.

he decided he would cook me steak since in one of our previous converations i had said that i have only had steak once. --pretty sure there is a reason why that is--- but oh well.
while we are preparing the meal he had music going. to keep the conversation going i ask what his favorite song is. Dance by Garth Brooks. i should have known. i didn't think much of it until he says:

"i have always wanted to dance to this song in the kitchen"
uh oh. why did i have to ask that question? {seriously go look up that song and then imagine my situation} luckily, i had kept the conversation going until we got to the next song. then he says
"oh no, we missed the whole song, we got to go back to it."
i had to think quick on my feeet. and finally it came to me! "so whats your favorite upbeat song??" haha IT WORKED.
anyway, the night went on and after dinner we went and got a steamer at starbucks and he asked me what are my turn offs and turn ons [is that a word?] i knew that really he just wanted to tell me his so he did. and guess what his turn on was?
a good gum to teeth ratio
which makes sense i guess. but who says that? i immediately covered my mouth. i was scared!
anyway thank goodness bruce took me home after that. on my porch he asked me out again! was i supposed to say no right then and there? i was like uhhhmmmhyeah. hopefully he didn't catch my yes answer. of course i was going to give him a hug because it's the least i can do plus that makes it known that the date is OVER. i guess he didn't think i was going to give him one because he says:
GIVE ME SOME LOVIN'!!!!!!
wow. next time i will be giving you a resume' if you ever want to set me up.
thank you bruce. i now have another friend. his name is bruce.

i love string cheese. i really do. i might as well live off of it.
when i see other people eating it--i find my jealous side come out haha but kind of serious. thoughts pop in my head including:
  • "why do you have one and i don't?"
  • "do you even like string cheese??"
  • "i bet i like it so much more than you."

consider me crazy. it is okay.

why am i bringing this up?

BECAUSE I AM UPSET. i am sitting in {the dreaded} hall of flags and this kid next to me pulls out his lunch. much to my surprise he pulls out some string cheese.
yummmy. i was perfectly fine. although i wanted one really bad, i decided i would hold back from stealing this nice boys string cheese.

then IT happened.
HE JUST BITES INTO IT! BITES INTO IT LIKE A CANDY BAR. are you mental???? why would you even dreaaam of eating a string cheese if you can't even pull it apart. should i tell him he's eating it wrong? seriously i am legit-ly upset. i am going home now and eating some string cheese the right way. STRING by STRING....

btw: do i have anything better to write about than string cheese? noo freakin way.

2.10.2010

indecisive.

indecisive is my middle name. i am sorry that i keep changing the look of my blog. nothing looks right to me and what looks right at the moment--looks HANEOUS the next minute. i will try to minimize it to changing it once a week haha..but this week. Santorini, Greece: i will be there sooooooon!

so i have a date tonight. and i am way nervous for it. should i be? even if i have known the person forever i still get nervous. why... lets hope this boy never ever ends up on my blog and see's this! how embarassing. he is cooking me dinner at his place. that makes me even more nervous.

what if i hate it?
what if i am full from my lunch still?
what if i get food all over my face?
what if the date goes longer than i want it to?
what if he is way more interested than i am?
what if his picture looks ten times better than he does in real life?
{no i am not mean, you think about it all the time.}
or
what if i love it?
what if the date ends but i want it to go longer?
what if i just fall in love with him and he hates me?
what if he thinks MY picture is ten times better than how i look in real life?
{yes boys are mean.}
anyway i will update you all my lovely's! happpppppy wednesday!
ps. bachelor? Does ali come back? i feel like if she would then they would have shown her on the preview. i feel like jake would say "sorry you can't come back i have to be fair to the other girls.." but then again he did dramatically choke up while they were kissing good bye! My friend went to realitysteve.com or something like that and found out what happens! DO NOT DO THIS. i did this with Jason's season and watching it was so boring. Although i am tempted. it's just one click away...no no i will wait. what did you guys think about this weeks episode???
just watch this and try NOT to get chills..
8 days.
i'm ready.



2.08.2010

once upon a time my sister asked santa clause for tickets to go see Celine Dion in concert. Her wish was granted with two tickets in the nose bleeds [hey, i would have even been happy out in the hall] to see Celine!! Much to my excitement, my sister chose me to go. {it only seemed appropriate considering that our rock out music in the car is the great celine} I was extatic. We had this whole night planned out. It was going to be a dream. . .

now we reach the conflict of my fairytale.

one saturday morning i woke up to frustrated sssssssscreams. kristine then proceeded to tell me that our idol, Celineeey had the supposed flu and was postponed to February 22, 2009. i was upset--but only because i had waited this long and i now had to wait a few more months. NOPE there was more behind those screams. my sister then brought my attention to the calendar. February 22 was a freakin SUNDAY. how could she do this? how could celine do this to ME?! my sister and i both were thinking that we might as well go! it's a once in a lifetime riiiight? nope. my parents. ohh bless them. i usually agree and understand my parents decisions but this one did NOT sit well with me. people always tell me "i would have sooo gone." hmmm yeah thanks that doesn't help me out in the least. Sadly, i watched and heard from the people that surprisingly did attend, how magnificent it was. Even though this was her supposed final tour--I vowed that my life would not be complete until i saw her in concert.


I hope and pray that one day she will surprise the world with one last final tour or special performance and I will attend. But until then--I think Celine has finally heard my cry of heartache and desperation and did what she could. . .


February 17, 2010:


i will be there. tuning out all the other annoying people to the back and to the front of me. focusing on celine and imagining me sitting there at her concert. ohhh i'd drive all night! hahah....but really.

2.05.2010

I remember when I turned 13 (HA i sound like i am 57 yrs old saying "back in the old days..") anyway, I felt so old. I loved that in YW there was a whole new year of beehives so I didn't feel like the young one anymore haha stupid but SO TRUE right?? I am so happy that you can now go see the PG-13 movies with us! (well some at least :)







My first memory of you Savannah was going along with Gabrielle as she was giving you a ride to soccer practice. I kept turning around and singing to you and the looks you gave me were priceless. But ohh we hit it off didn't we?? Let me see if I can think of any more memories..Hmm sharing a whole entire bag of smarties with you...Sleeping over at your house-you had slept somewhere else that night and in the morning you realized gabrielle and i had slept in your room and you had to make sure gabrielle slept in your bed and not me ha...In st george sitting in Gabrielle's car with you for about 2 hours while she was in cafe rio {my absolute favorite}...Anyway, thank you for your gorgeous smiling face and being my glasses buddy. You are one of the kindest people I know. We need more people in this world like you Savannnnah Bannnanana. I love you so so much! I hope you had a FABULOUS day!
