As of lately...

Oh hey there. If you're reading this then you know that my blog still exists. Good for you. I even forgot for a bit. But, whatever. So there's just been a lot going on lately... like I bought a car: 

Okay, well this isn't my car... but my car looks just like this. I didn't want to take a picture of it because my car is really dirty right now. But it looks just like that^^^ I promise. 

Basically... it's the best. I love having a car that works and doesn't smell like cigarettes and doesn't make Star Wars sounds (named by Kira).

I also bought myself an iPhone. SO that's been fun too. I've joined them........

Also... my friends are leaving me to go on missions! I'm super sad, but they are going to be great. Hailee is in the MTC right now and leaves for Paris in 6 days. SOO crazy. Then, on Sunday was this chick's farewell: 

 She's on her way to Botswana. No big deal. Just a tall, white redhead in Africa. But she'll be awesome. Seriously. I am so proud of her. And you can bet I'll be ready when she gets home so that we can be the first redheaded team to win the Amazing Race. It's gonna happen... just you watch. 

Also: Haley is engaged! 

 What? yeah. We didn't know she'd actually be engaged only like 3 years after taking this picture. 

So, I never had any sisters... but I got the Benson girls as my best friends... so basically it's better than sisters. 

 Also, last week I got to watch Abby in the Dance Company concert! She was freaking fabulous and I'm super duper proud of her! She's awesome! 

So yeah... that's been it recently... I live a super adventure-filled life. But I seriously want to go to London. Like way bad... and really soon. I feel like I'm actually supposed to live there... but just a visit will suffice for now I guess... so if anyone wants to come with me...:) I don't want to go by myself. 

Anyway... I think that's it... oh yeah... and there's this too: 

It's almost baseball time. 

Creeeeeper....s

To get the full effect of this post you need to play the below video and listen to the song while you are reading the post:

See this. This is the creep. If you haven't seen this SNL sketch, it probably means you have a life.

 ANYWAY, lately, I feel like these guys have been following me around... I've just had a lot of experiences with a lot of creepers lately. Surprisingly, there is more creepers than normal people at LDSBC. AND all of these people want to be my friend. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but I just can't handle them all right now. There is 3 that are just in my classes, not to mention the others in the school that stare and other people that I work with.
For example: the other day we got into groups in one of my classes. I didn't know anyone else in the group. I started having this coughing attack... kind of embarrassing .. anyway... This kid in my group looks at me, pulls out his water bottle that he has been drinking all day and was like, "Do you want some water?" ummmm... No thank you! I mean it was nice and all for him to offer, but I don't know him! And he wants me to drink from his water bottle! ah!
So then, there's this other kid in another class... I call him creepy Chris, because he looks like Christopher Walken, but creepy. He always wants to talk to me about everything. I had to tell him I have a boyfriend (even though I don't) so that he'd leave me alone! I swear, every RM at that school is only there to find a wife.
I think these boys just need to understand that there is only one boy out there for me. And his name is Josh.

My LDSBC Experience... So Far...

Okay. Since I've survived my first 2 weeks and it looks like I'm staying, I'll tell you about LDS Business College. Imagine every awkward person you've ever encountered mixed with a couple dozen RMs, a few self-absorbed jerks, and a limited number of normal people. That's the business college. Seriously. I love it, and I don't think I've laughed so hard at school, but it's true. There are some C-R-A-Z-Y people that go there.

Exhibit A: There was this kid in one of my classes who got home from his mission exactly 2 DAYS before school started. I've never seen such an awkward creature in my whole life. He was so sad and so hilarious all at the same time. A few other kids and me stayed after class to talk to him. He had served in Africa so he was telling us all of the different languages he learned there. Then he said (and I quote exactly- I'm not making this up), "But the most important language I learned on my mission, was the language of the Spirit." Oh jeez. I had to put my hand over my mouth so that I wouldn't bust out laughing at him. It was SO funny. Since this class period he has switched out, but we had a few fun days with him.

Exhibit B: There is this girl in my English class and I can't help but stare at her. She probably thinks I'm a lesbo or something, but seriously, she is really odd. She always raises her hand and says whatever the heck she is thinking whether or not it applies to the lesson. And the other day, she wore a tie!!! She wore a tie to school. And I know what you're thinking, Maddi don't judge her, she probably just got back from her work where that's her uniform. But, I can tell you that it wasn't a uniform because it was a crocheted tie. It was handmade. Not a uniform. Strange. Very strange.

Exhibit C: MY WHOLE PERSONAL FINANCE CLASS. I have to take this at night because it is the only class I could get into. It full of married people that think they know everything. Then they look at me and think that I'm stupid because I'm not married. There's like one other kid in the class that's not married but he smells like body odor. It's just... it's just a really strange class for me.

Anyway, I know there will be many more stories to come, but that's all I've got from my first two weeks. That's all for now!
Bye.

Hi. I'm not dead...

Yep. I'm still alive here. Just forgot I had a blog... haha actually really though I work all the time and never do anything. BUT Mitch is coming home on Wednesday!!! WOOOOO! Crazy stuff. I'm soooo excited. I'm also SUPER excited because we are going to San Diego right after he gets home! Yay! San Diego is like my favorite place with my favorite people... my Grandparents!!! They are awesome and I'm so excited to see them!

Anyway, really fast so you all don't think I'm a loser who doesn't do anything... this is all the exciting things I've done this summer.

1. I went Ghost Hunting with Hailee! AH! It was sooo scary but so fun! We went and saw some haunted places around Salt Lake and it was awesome! The scariest part was when we went to Ted Bundy's house and got to walk right up to the cellar! It was awesome!!!!!

 2. I went to the Joshua Radin concert with Casey. Joshua Radin is one of my heroes. If you've never heard of him, you should look him up. He's like alternative with a raspy attractiveness voice... ha ha ... yeah. It was really exciting because we were super close to him. Also we were excited because it was a 21+ venue, but we used our fake IDs to get in... JUST KIDDING. ha ha they just let 18+ into this show. it was AWESOME!

This is us... if you couldn't tell. 

3. I took Thomas and Jacob to the zoo! My mom was kinda stressed last week and I could tell we were driving her crazy so after work one day we drove up to the zoo and stayed there for a few hours. It was really fun!

4. My mom took me to get manicures and pedicures for an early birthday present. Since Mitch's homecoming is on my birthday, my mom took me and we did stuff early this year so I wouldn't feel like I had no birthday. It was fun!

5. I went and saw some movies. Ha ha....
-Avengers (Once with Abby and once with Jacob)
-Snow White and the Huntsman with Kira
-Dark Knight Rises with Kira
-Step Up Revolution with my mom
-Rock of Ages with my mom and Colleen
-Brave with my Family

6. I did some hikes with Kira and Brett and we went swimming in Farmington Pond with the Rope Swing.

7. I watched the Olympics! Probably one of the best things of this summer. I found new future husbands. Ryan Lochte (Who I've loved for a while now) and Tom Daley, the British diver who won Bronze. He's only like 8 months younger than me... it's fine. Ha ha.

Okay, he's not very smart, but he's super cute. 

 Tom Daley:) SOOOO cute. 

And that's about it. Besides working a lot and getting ready for Mitch to come home, I haven't really done much. But tomorrow I don't even think I'll care about my unproductive summer.
Alright that's all for now. Kbye.
28 more hours! 

Finally!

I finally got an email from Mitch yesterday! I hadn't got one in forever!

You are my sister,  my best freind for ever, singing the songs, the music that we liiiiiiIIIIIIIIKE. Siblings for the rest of time, together or apart you´re always in my heart , singing the songs, the music that we liiiiiIIIIIIIKKKEE!! Well, it you dont know what that is you have gone down 5 points in the cool sister scale......jaja well, yes,   I am living a pretty busy life now, but look, I still have time to write my sister.   So you went on a hike with.....Brett  huh?  Jaja I dont know who he is, but I guess its beter that Jonathan Myers.  Qué lame that he booted us from his group of friends. I am with Connor and Adam, if you ask his number, he will add you on Facebox. It is a sacrifice, but it is totally worth it. Take one for the team Maddi! Well, mish life is going good, I only have about 6 more weeks out here, very crazy,. I dont know if it was the same for you, but time has FLOWN by. What are your future plans? School? Mission? Work? Jonathan Myers? Well, whatever you choose you will do it well. Good times, good times. Anyways, that is all the time I have this week. I will talk to you next week. Love ya! Chauuu!

So excited to have him come back home! We are so close now! 

...

Uh... okay. So basically all I ever do is work and watch movies, and blogging about work is no fun, so you get to hear about the movies. Ha ha

So I just finished what could possibly be one of my favorite movies ever. It came out in 2005 and we rented it right after it came to DVD, but I fell asleep and never finished. Well, recently I fell back into my Christian Bale kick where I'm determined to see every movie of his that's not rated R. And so then I remembered he was in this and I never finished it. So, I rented it yesterday and watched it today. It's called The New World. 

A-mazing. I basically sobbed through the last half of the movie. This is like a live-action version of Pocahontas... but this movie is a bit more accurate to what actually happened. Not much more accurate, but more than the Disney movie. But still, if you love the Disney movie, I demand that you see this. You'll love it. I love it. I just, seriously, have no words to describe this movie except amazing. Seriously, watch it. 

Okay. That is all. I promise, I'll try to do more exciting stuff this summer.

Obsessed

Yesterday, my friend and I went and saw Snow White and the Huntsman. 

There's a trailer if you haven't heard of it yet. I knew I was going to like the movie. I mean, Chris Hemsworth is in it. How can a movie be bad if he's in it:

Serious beauty here. He's just... perfect. Anyway, I had no idea how much I'd LOVE the movie. Thomas saw the movie at the same time I did so after the movie I turned to him and asked him if he liked it. He said, "meh." Meh? WHAT?!?! I thought it was probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. And then I realized... oh. That was kind of a chick flick. You don't really realize it because of all the fighting and action and stuff, but it really is. BUT, I still think that even if you're a boy you should go see it. Because the CG stuff is SO COOL and the fighting is awesome and yeah. Chris Hemsworth is beautiful, and that should be enough to go see the movie.

Okay next. Rock of Ages:

Okay it hasn't come out yet... but I really want to see it. I bought the soundtrack today and I love it! It's basically just musical versions of classic rock songs. But, it doesn't sound cheesy like stupid Glee. I love it. And the actors from the movie are actually singing on the soundtrack... so it is actually Tom Cruise singing. AND... he's not that bad. He's definitely not the best singer on the cd, but he's not the worst. And, as we all know, Tom is the only reason my mom is going to see the movie. But let's face it, this is the reason I'm going to see the movie: 

Diego Boneta. mmm. Stud. Plus, he has an AMAZING voice! He is my favorite to listen to on the soundtrack. I die inside every time I listen to him and Julianne Hough sing Heaven. Oh, I cannot wait to see him in the movie. 

So if anyone wants to come along, my mom and I are going on opening day to see it! 

That is all.
