Home Sweet Home

For the past week I have been looking and investigating different apartments for next year. I have been searching on the web and making calls to all of the managers and making tables and evaluating all that I can. I have found a cute a quaint little apartment that my friend and I want to move in and it seems to be the cheapest around. It will at least be a few hundred dollars cheaper than where I'm living now, which is a plus. :) I am going with my friend to go check out and sign a contract today! :/ I'm kinda nervous but I feel that it's right. So here we go! There is no place like having a home! :D

Ode to Jones Soda

Oh oh, Jones Soda you make my mouth go fizzy.
You have so much sugar cane my head is now dizzy.

Fufu Berry, Lemon Lime and you are even sugar-free.
Blue, pink, orange, red, green; pure colors hypnotize me.

I'll drink you in the morning, I'll drink you at night.
Jones soda always tastes just right.

Oh oh, Jones Soda you make my mouth go fizzy.
You have so much sugar cane you make my head go dizzy.

Musings of a Mental Nutcase

OK... So pretty much Valentine's Day is upon us. For the first time in a few years I don't have a valentine to share this special day with. It is sort of weird not having someone to say "I Love You" to. Yet, I do have some amazing roommates who are not going to let this perfect chance for a ladies night get away. Aubrey, Brittany and I are going to do dinner together and have some other single girls come over for a chick flick marathon and plenty of treats and popcorn! :D It will be a ton of fun!

Next subject is: FOG. Logan weather is so strange and unique! Back home we would rarely get fog or if we did it was gone within 15 minutes. I live on a hill in the north eastern part of Logan and last night I looked out across the valley and I was staring at the top of a cloud that had settled itself on the floor of the valley. It was like an ocean of cotton balls; so beautiful. This morning I woke up and the fog was so thick I could barely see the cemetery across the street. It's starting to go away now but the snow, frost and slight fog makes it seem so ethereal. It's just like a fantasy land. So pretty.

My mom gave a wonderful book for my birthday called The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews. I read it and highlighted the parts that I loved. I finished it this week and I just had to call my mom and discuss it with her. This book has so many good lessons in it. It's not just a "make you feel good" book; it actually has good advice that can be taken to heart and used in everyday life. I recommend this book to everyone and I would be more than willing to talk to anyone about it. :D I just love a good book!

Well, there is homework to be done, then lunch to be made before I head to class. So "Ladies and Gentlemen take my advice, Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."

Birthday Wishes

On the 5th was my sweet roommate's 19th birthday. I had so much fun decorating the apartment with crate paper, balloons and signs. I bought her flowers and a cute card. All of us roommates and one of Brittany's friends went to Angie's to "Clean the Sink". (For those who don't know Angie's is a local restaurant here in Logan where they serve you soft serve ice cream with your choice of 3 toppings. It comes in a small sink that is over flowing with ice cream heaven. the goal is to eat all the ice cream to get a bumper sticker that says, "I cleaned the sink at Angie's." This tradition of a Utah State students and locals is quite respected :D) anyway, we finished our sugary goodness and went home to have an Office Party and watch last weeks new Office episode. We had quite a fun time.

Then came my birthday. And my dear sweet roommates have been so sweet to give me many happy birthday wishes and a plethora of hugs. Aubrey and Lacey gave me Coca-cola chap sticks! Alaura gave me a beautiful earring and necklace set. And Brittany surprised me with a bouquet of roses and 2 cases of Coke. :D All of them are such sweet girls and I love them very much.

I traveled home Friday and went to dinner with my parents, Shell, Caleb, Abbie and Grandma. We went to Chili's and had some of the best dessert ever! The CCVC (Chocolate Chocolate Vanilla and Chocolate) also know to the rest of the world as the Chocolate Molten Cake. It is FANTASTIC!!! We had a fun time laughing and talking and Miss Abigail thought she was the star of the party. (She pretty much was.)

I had such a great time being home relaxing and just being quiet for once. I couldn't have had a better birthday. It's just weird to think that I'm really not a kid anymore and that I have to learn to grow old yet stay young at heart. I'm excited for the year to come and I hope that I can reach my goals and become a great human being.

Time to Blog

Ok ok.... so pretty much everybody has a blog now days! I was feeling a little left out and jealous that everybody else had such super cute and awesome blogs so I decided to get with it and start a blog. I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen on here but be assured that it is 100% just Necia: my thoughts, feelings, geekiness and fun. So far I'm off to a great start... :D
