katie porter

i love katie porter. we share a great love for dicks hamburgers, cheese, high school musical, and so you think you can dance.

day planner

Can i just tell you how much I love/depend on my day planner! Every aspect of my life is written down in that little book! The other day I lost it. It was very frustrating. And I realized-I AM WAY TOO BUSY IF I CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT MY PLANNER! But alas, i cannot eliminate anything, so I will continue to be a day planner addict! Am I the only one who is so dependent on day planners!?

Best Friends-a photo album

I have had some of the best friends throughout the years! Here is a photo collage of the fun times I have had with some of the best friends ever!

cute heels do not make good walking shoes

Now that the holidays are over...i have more time so i blog...HA! yeah right, school is busier than ever and with everything else i am doing there is little time. But just to keep you entertained and updated on my life here is a little story for you:

New years eves-A beautiful night is las vegas. the game plan was to park close and walk a few blocks to our desination on the strip. doesn't sound that hard. because of the short distance i put on silver heels that looked fabulous with my outfit. and that is what we did-walked a few blocks.

i go to the bathroom at mcdonalds and when i come out the plans have changed. We now need to go to the other end of the strip to see fireworks and evil kinevel jump. sounds like fun. we walk back to the car to drive a little closer. then we start on the journey. a few blocks has now turned into a few miles. i am doing just fine. after mile one-my feet start to hurt pretty bad. but who wants to be the party pooper? not me, so i did not say anything. we finally get to the strip. we celebrate the new year....except we are on the wrong side of the building and we cannot see the fireworks or evil kinevel!!! After walking a lot of the strip i cannot take it anymore. i tell jeffrey that i can no longer walk because my feet hurt so bad and they are swollen.

I then am carried piggy back style. After awhile jeffrey got tired. So i told him i would try walking again...but i could not. my feet hurt so bad i could not even fit them back into my shoes!! the statement is true-beauty is pain. so jeffrey carried me some more on his back.

Finally, jeffreys arms were getting very tired and we switched the the shoulders. This worked out quite nicely-for me at least ;-) Needless to say, i will not be wearing heels to the strip again.

yes, i am a slave

I was sitting at dinner the other night and my brother in law, Adam, announced that they had updated their blog-something i would know little about since my last post was in October! I then got chastised for not updating this thing! Am I a slave to blog posts? the answer is yes. So here I am once again, jumping back on the blog bandwagon. You might be asking yourself, "why has janet not blogged for the past 2 months?" I will tell you my friend-I am not only a slave to blogging, but life, stress, fun, school, homework, church, sleep, and whatever else takes up my time. Here are a few highlights of what has been going on:

I got a hair cut and bangs

I got called to be relief society president and I have the best counselors! I love them!! This calling has made me busier than ever, but it is wonderful. Many great stories have already come out of this calling. Just ask!

I finished my first semester of nursing school. Thats right-1/4 nurse!! We (nursing friends that survived 1st semester) went to brick oven to celebrate on the last day of our finals.

Threw our tradional chocolate party with Becca and Allie

Lost at the ward chili cookoff! My chili was brewing for two days!!! Don't worry-canned chili won. Nalley brand-so dont waste your time cooking, go grab a can!

Mastered the waltz jump!!

Move over Michelle Kwan

When I was younger, I loved Michelle Kwan (the figure skater). I would watch everything she did, read her books, even had her autograph framed! Most of my family and friends thought I outgrew my obsession for Michelle Kwan years ago. Well...they were wrong! I have taken my love for Michelle Kwan one step further and I signed up for figure skating at BYU! After only 6 weeks this is what I have achieved! Move over Michelle Kwan!

food anomalies

There is nothing that I love more than finding cool, weird, abnormal food things! I recently made a bowl of popcorn and while I was eating it what did I find? A piece of popcorn that looked like a bird! Very cool!



This picture is from awhile ago...but I still love it! A double banana! Two bananas in one peel! Oh the simple things in life!
