the final answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So lets get started. It was a fun evening at Shelley's house. Once we got home, Roxy started listening to her ten messages. We listened to a few of RHB old ones because they are just too humorous. But it turns out, there's a new message. In it he tells me to call him, even if it's one o'clock, because he says "it's going to be pretty cool." So it's 12:30 and I call him. I'm like, " Hi, it's Julie." and he's like, " Hi, what's up?" and I go " I don't know, what is up?" and he contemplates his wording for a moment. Then he says, "Will you meet me in your lobby?" and i say "Yeah." So I go down there and he kind of sneaks up on me. Then he gives me a plate of snicker-doodles and says, "Julie will you marry me?" and I said, " No you fool! You haven't even been on a mission yet. You pretty much can't go to preference with me anymore, so therefore, the other option of Talmy is now open." Just Kidding, he said, "I wasn't quite sure about my answer." So at first I'm thinking he can't go with me anymore, so now he's giving me these consolation snicker-doodles. But then he's like, "I think you need to look a little closer." So I start moving the cookies, and lo and behold there is a note card on the bottom that says YES! I was sooooooooo happeeeeee. Then we stood outside and talked for a while about my failed plan and his feeling dumb by just saying yes over the phone. We talked about life and about what dance we want to go to. In the middle of it all he sang a song from The Lion King. Pretty much I am totally stoaked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preference madness

So You all know that I was asking RHB to preferecne, but my plan went horribly wrong. I went to five balloonst o his roommate to give to him, but he didn't show up. Luckily, Charlie came by, so he took them up to his room for me. But then we missed his call, because we gave him a mysterious phone number to call at a certain time, so we could read him a mission impossible thing. So he left a message that was so cute. He was like...Hey, this is ...Ben, I'm not sure what this is exactly, but I think this is the right number...so sorry I was not home I guess. So I'll talk to you later, or something.
Then he called again the next day and said...This is agent Fisher trying to report for duty. Sorry I keep missing you and I'll keep trying. Bye.
So I called him today, and I was like "hi Ben, this is Julie. You know those mysterious balloons and that mysterious phone number? That was me." and under his breath I could hear him go, Yesssss. It was so awesome!!!! so he said yes, and I dont know what dance we're going to, but I think we're going to have a lot of fun. Now if only Roxy would ask a certain someone...

The Preference Fiasco!

So, you all know that I was asking RHB to Preference, but my plan went horribly wrong. I went to give balloons to his roommate to give to him, but he didn't show up. Luckily, Charlie came by, so he took them up to his room for me. But then we misses his call, because we gave him a mysterious phone number to call at a certain time, so we could read him a mission impossible thing. So he left a message that was so cute. He was like... I dont know who this is, but I guess I was supposed to call, so...yea. then the next day he called again, then Roxy called a few times, but it was no use. So I'm just going to call him and put that old plan to rest. Too bad it didn't work, but he got some awesome balloons out of it.

SNOWWWWWWWWWW

I can't believe it snowed today! It was my first snowfall of Provo, and Roxy doesn't think so, but I think she is craxy. The snow was so beautiful, and I called my mommy and my daddy an my Carlie and told them... I hope the news reaches my Kellie. Anyways I really like Back to the Future. Michael J Fox is a studmuffin, but I also really like the George guy. He is just really awkward and cute. While we were watching one of his awkward parts, Roxy said, "Hi, this is Wayne... Wayne Robison..." and I couldn't stop laughing until, like, sixteen minutes ago. I am very excited for mom to come to Provo, and to get slaughtered at racquetball. Quiet, YOU!

Good Grades feel good

I got a 55/60 on my MFHD paper that I turned in a few weeks ago! That was a great consolation after the traumatic experience of writing and turning in my other paper today. But everything worked out in the end. And Roxy took my phone to music 101, so maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get a new picture of him, and yet another shapeshifty.

I love fun dates!

Today... was a good day. It was super awesome, way chill, and there were lots of awesome people there to share it with. Roxy Xinyi Blaine Red Head Ben and Talmage and I went on a date today. First we hiked the Y, which was amazingly beautiful, and it was so fun. Then we went to a sushi place and had some great Japanese food, then we ran over to Ream's to look over the selection of root beer. I took lots of pictures, and captured many timeless moments, like all the boys standing on top of the trail markers. I am in LOVE with Ben... well, you know what I mean. He is so awesome and gentlemanly. He picked me a flower, and did lots of fun things like that. When I was holding Xinyi's hand and walking down the Y, I slipped and fell on my kazinkis, and when Ben saw he ran up to where I was. Then when Xinyi told him that I need a hug, he gave me a great hug that was longer than I expected it would be, then he grabbed my hand and said, "why do we fall?" and I said "so we can get back up. " It was so funny. Oh, and every time we got out of the back of Blaine's truck, he would jump out really fast so that he could help eveyone out. Then he would open all the doors for us, and he went out an got my debit card with me when we were at the restaurant. Oh, and as we were hiking up to the Y, I had brought a backpack with water and a jacket and my camera, and as we were like 100 feet away from the Y, he looks at me and says, why are you holding that backpack? and I said, because no one took it from me, then he was like, hand it over, and he carried it for the rest of the time. Then when we were by the bottom of the Y, he and Blaine started picking up the trash that people had let roll down the Y, like waterbottles mostly. While we were there, we saw big horned sheep. It was pretty cool. Then on the way down, Talmage found a piece of grass that had some flowers growing off it, and he looked at is and said these are pretty. And when I saw them I started freaking out, and I told them that they were colombines, and that they were my favorite flower. Then Talmage asked if he could put the whole big thing in my hair, and Ben was like, why don't you pick them off, and then he did, then Talmage was like, hey you're stealing my thunder, then Ben gave them back to Talmage, who then gave it to me. I felt special. Laying down in the bed of the truck was an awesome experience. Blaine was really paranoid about the police giving him a ticket for people riding in the back of the truck, so he made us lay down, which was not great becasue everyone kept hitting their heads on the metal everywhere. But we sort of had to lay on top of each other, and I didn't mind that so much. When all the activities were done, we all got out at DT, and the three boys walked Roxy and I home. Chivalry is not dead at BYU. When Roxy and I got in the elevator, I almost died because I was so happy. I haven't had that much fun with a boy in a long time.

horray for halloween!

I can't wait for Halloween. There is a dance on Friday, and Roxy is going as a beauty queen, and I am going as a flapper. We are going to wear each other's dresses, and it is going to be fabulous. Last night, at like 11, I decided I wanted to play around and put on flapper makeup, whatever that is (it ended up being about 5 punds), then of course I had to put on the dress. And since I was putting on Roxy's dress, she had to put on my dress. Then we had to go look at ourelves in the full length mirror in the hallway and take pictures. Then Roxy let me talk her into letting me do her makeup and hair, and I must say, she looked even more beautiful than she normally does. It was a kind of a "if you give a mouse a cookie" ordeal. Maybe we shouldn't have done it becasue it was so late, and we were almost late to out 8 o'clock classes today, but I don't care. We had a rockin' good time, and now we know how fab we are going to look on Friday. It will be sososososososossosososoosososo fun! What are you going as?

The Many Affairs of Family Home Evening

Last night was a magical night. I love all the people in mya family, but especially Talmage, but even more especially Red-Head Ben. He is so awesome! He ran a marathon in Saterday, and that is so... awesomely impressive. We had a fun time in FHE, and afterwards, I thought that me and Roxy were just going to go home because I thought I didn't feel like doing nything, but then we just got to talking, then we started throwing around a vollyball, and that got really fun. But when Danica had to leave with her vollyball, Ben went up and got his soccer ball, and we played a soccer version of haccy sack. It was fun, even though I stink at it, and I got injured. The injury part was actually good, because I got free hugs from boys out of it. Ben and Blaine to be exact. There was one time last night where somehow me and Ben got into a staring contest. It was kind of wierd, but kind of cool. It was funny, as me and Roxy and Ben and Blaine were playing with the soccerball a kid was walking though and he was like, "What a lame date!" Then Blaine said "well, at least we're doing what the stake president told us to... to go on a date every week. But we have been slacking." Then I was like, well here we are, motioning to me and Roxy. Then, somehow we came to the consensus that we are all going to hike the Y on Saterday. So it will be mine and Roxy's first double date together, and with two really awesome guys. It will be sososososososos much fun, I think. After Blaine left, Ben was such a genleman and walked us home. It was great!

You know what...

I was thinking a lot about stuff today. Yesterday was a great day because I just love going to church, and our FHE family was so righteous, and there was ward choir practice, then we went to Gradma's and had a rocking time, then Roxy and Ben and James and I got to sing "I Believe in Christ" and it was beautiful and inspirational, then we got to play at Holly's and Caleb's, then Cari and Ben and Roxy and I had a fun walk home. Don't you love runon scentences? Anyways, after we got home and had a chance to settle down, Roxy started doing her homework, so I was quietly fiddling around on my computer, and I started to be sad, and I couldn't figure out pourquoi. After a while we went to bed, and I was just laying there trying to figure out why I felt this way. I had crazy dreams last night. I wonder if it had to do anything with anything. Anyways, today I had an hour to kill between classes, so I walked around on the trails aroud by the duck pond. I really liked all the nature, and just the crisp air and everything. It made me feel better. When I settled down on a bench by the duck pond, I watched a mommy and a cute little girl feed the duckies. That made me real happy.
When I was walking between classes, I caught a glimps of some far off mountains, and they looked like the kind you could see from Redlands, and it made me feel kind of funny. Then I thought about Everyone there and... I didn't get homesick, but I just thought about home. Later today, I saw a guy who looked like BJ Laurence, and I felt sad that he is a little older than me, but he can't go to college yet, then I thought about what if I had to stay, and that through out any trace of homesickness. I love it here. I wonder what it's going to be like when I go back for the summer.
Speaking of going home, Thanksgiving is coming, not soon, but it's coming all the same.
I need to go on more dates, and I need to hike the Y. It would be cool if the two could mix.

My date with talmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it all started at the early hour of ten o'clock. when i left my roommate was still in bed. shelley and rick were a little late, but that gave me and talmage a little bonding time before he met the family. the minute we all stepped outside, was the minute that changed my life forever. jk. talmage couldn't stop talking!!(about the weather) he said it smelled like thanksgiving, but i think that thanksgiving smells like delicious food. so we got to bowling, and straight away talmy went for the fourteen pounder. he said he was feeling extra masculine today. i was not feeling to masculine so i went for the eleven pounder. crazy bowling was, interesting blah! but we were all great at it. i think talmage put perhaps too much thought into it, maybe that's why he came in last. on the other hand, maybe it was a way of showing how much he loved the date. all in all i won, and that's all that mattered. we came back to the lobby, and roxy the roommate joined us for a rousing game of curses. i must say that it put a laugh spell on all of us. really, the only jewel that came out of it, was ricks fwench piwate. once shelley and richard parted our path, that's when it became interesting. roxy, talmy, and i went to lnt and got delicious sustinance. afterwards, we indulged in a cone of ice cream at sugar and spice, making the total amount of ice cream for the day two pounds. we took a very lovely stroll past the duck pond, then through an extremely scenic route. it reminded me of the good old days at oakglen. we then proceeded to the maeser building, where we picked up penelope with an accent. she is a lovely specimen of ten dollar bikeage. it's a love love relationship between talmy and penelope. on the way we parled much about hiking. the beautifl snow and weather was also a topic that drew out everyone's opinion. today, was a good day. roxy the roommate (the real boomshadow writer) thought so also. the end of episode 1. join us next week as we write about red head ben!!!
