I'm a thief...

After the second session of conference today, I decided to venture to a nearby scrapbook store to get some fun paper for tomorrow's project... making altered letters with Jenni and Kristen. So, I took along some ribbon I had purchased from hobby lobby to match the colors. I found just what I was looking for and went up to pay. After the lady handed me my bag of paid-for goodies, she grabbed the ribbon off of the counter which was by my purse and was like "um... you didn't want this, did you?" and snatched it like I was going to steal it. She practically accused me of "intent to steal" if there is such a thing... haha. So, I had to explain that I brought it in from another store and was just trying to match my stuff. Geez woman! She saw the hobby lobby sticker still on the box and was like... "oh, well we have some just like this" and reluctantly gave it back. What's bugging me is that I feel guilty about the whole thing and I didn't do anything wrong! like I really was going to steal something! Aaaa! Why? So annoying.

September is here...

This summer has gone by SO fast! I can't believe it's already September. This month always reminds me of back to school, and today I couldn't help missing that back-t0-school feeling. I love the stage of life I'm in now, but some days it would be fun to go back to second grade or to my freshman year at BYU and have some fun! Anyway, these are some of the things I miss the most about actually "going to school"... online classes just aren't the same!

* new school clothes
* in elementary school... book orders! art projects! recess! and chicken nugget days!
* hanging out with friends and lots of different people every day!
* new notebook paper, pencils, books and backpack
* the smell of erasers and crayons
* finding my classes and meeting new teachers
* in college and high school... the beginning of football season!!! also, other sports and intramurals.
* busy BYU campus... it's so alive in the fall!
* believe it or not... homework! and challenging projects with deadlines.... turning in big projects that you stayed up the whole night before to finish... such a sense of accomplishment!
* looking forward to school breaks and holidays... well, i guess i still look forward to jake's school breaks and holidays!
*learning so many new things and having all the time in the world to study
* the sound of the Star Spangled Banner in the morning and the bell at the end of the day
*having to get out of bed and ready for the day early in the morning... it's kindof hard to make myself do it now!
