My Birthday

This last weekend was my 19th Birthday. I had a party with friends the day before and I went home on Sunday, my official birthday for dinner with the fam. It was so much fun. Here are a few pictures from my party with my new camera!Here I am so happy to be 19

Laura, Erin, Me and Kylar

Laura, Taniel, Amy, Me and Brook with my AWESOME presents

My friend Amy made this delicious chocolate peanut butter cake, which was stuffed with Reeses Peanut Butter cups. Mmm... Delish.

Me and my roommate Melodie. We are weird.

My birthday was a success, I had fun, I got to hang out with my favorite friends and I got to go home for dinner. All in all, it was a pretty good day.

Martha Who?

Move aside Martha Stewart, there's a new Martha in town (Yes, that is completely cheesy, but I'm bored so give me a break).

That's right. I have become a Domestic Diva, if you will. This past week I dug up grass and planted a flower garden, painted the front room and kitchen with my roommates, and we hosted a lovely barbecue on the side of our house last night. Also, I was asked to sew dresses for the little girls in my sister's friend's wedding. I think that will be great fun.

I love doing crafty things like that. I like doing stuff that makes things look better, hence the painting and the flower garden. I really love sewing because I can actually wear the finished product. It just seems more practical. I cannot stand scrapbooking. It is so stinkin' expensive, time consuming and I HATE cleaning up all the scraps of paper later. In my mind, why would I spend 15 bucks on ONE scrapbook page that hardly anyone notices, when I can use that 15 dollars to buy some super cute fabric, make a dress and wear it all around. I do however think the whole idea of scrapbooking is a good idea, saving memories for posterity and whatnot, but I choose to use a program called Book Smart. It can be found at www.blurb.com. You make your own book and then they publish it and send it to you. And it only costs about 30 dollars, that's what I am talking about.

P.S. I posted this and then my sister Michelle sent me this picture that she photoshopped, so I had to put it up there. Thanks Michelle!

True Colors

Having recently moved into a new ward, I have been introduced to many a things. One of my new favorite things is the game True Colors. I was first introduced to it at a friend's apartment after Linger-Longer on Sunday. This game is HILARIOUS! I don't actually know what kind of questions the actual game includes because we just made up our own for a more interesting game. The game goes a little something like this: Someone picks a question, reads it aloud to the group, and then everyone in the group votes for another person in that group who most defines the question being asked. The votes are then read aloud and the person with the most votes wins. Some of the questions we asked were like, "Who do you want to kiss right now?""What person would you want to go on a long road trip with" "Who do you think is the best kisser?" These questions add for a little bit more excitement in the game, and are quite enjoyable. Needless to say, I love this game.

Another favorite of mine is the game Scattergories. I could play this game for hours on end. It never gets old to me. I love coming up with funny responses and listening to everyone else's hilarious responses. Such a clever game, I love it.

I got to play both of these games tonight and had a GREAT time. I love playing games, especially ones that make you laugh. Monopoly, on the other hand, does not have quite the same effect. I love the game, don't get me wrong, but ask any of my siblings, and they will tell you why it is banned in the Proctor household. hahah. Great times.

New Swimming Suit

So I recently decided to retire my old swimming suit and buy a new one. I LOVE it. I got to "debut" it, if you will, at the ward pool party. I really like it. The top is SUPER long, so you don't have to worry about it riding up, and it's so cute! Both Laura and I got one, she got a black and white polka dot one though. We bought them from Modbe Clothing company, one of the websites is www.nobellybuttons.com. Anyway, here is what my new swimming suit looks like.

SUMMER!

I will no longer be posting for my English class, but Michelle said I should still keep my blog up to date- so I will try my best.

I am done with classes! I just have to finish finals and then I am done! Done with living in Heritage Halls and my personal favorite-done with being a freshman! Woohoo!

I am really excited for summer. I get to live in a cute little house right across the street from my brother Isaac. Summer will be complete with many road trips with friends and family. I am stoked. So all I can say is, bring on summer!

Disney Characters...

We had an assignment to choose which Disney character describes us most. I had NO idea. I am not very good at figuring this sort of stuff out. So I started asking other people what they thought. My brother said I was most like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, because I sing and I go out with Beasts :) Pretty funny.
My friend also said I was most like Belle, because I look a lot like her, but with a little bit of Snow White. Now having only seen Snow White once, I can't say for sure, but I don't think I'm really anything like her. She seems a little bit air-headed. I know that I would never take anything, let alone an apple from and old creepy lady that I didn't know. But that's just me.
Another one of my friends was trying very hard to figure out what I would be. She said I was like Sharpay Evans from High School Musical. Her reasons were because I sing, and I love Zac Efron. I am completely guilty :) However, I would like to think I'm not nearly as high maintenance or annoying as she is. Hopefully my friends would agree...
So i was still stuck. I wasn't like Dory from Finding Nemo, because I actually have an excellent memory. And I wasn't even like Nemo, because I don't have a bummed arm. I was somewhat like Sleeping Beauty, because I sure do enjoy a good nights rest- so much that I won't go to class sometimes :). I could sort of relate to Cinderella because when I was little I was certain that I was adopted just so my family would have someone to do all the chores. I wasn't really like Mulan, because I would NEVER chop my hair off and pretend to be a boy haha.

When it all boils down to it, I would have to agree with my brother and friend and say I am most like Belle. Plus when I took the Facebook quiz, I was most like Belle ;). I have always sort of related to Belle. I think she's a nice, down-to-earth girl who doesn't worry about what other people think. I love reading books like she does. I would however, rather have the Beast stay as the Beast then turn back into the man. I think when he is a person he looks like a weird girl. I find the Beast much more attractive. Belle loves her home, So do I. I try to go home as much as I can to see my family. Belle wants "so much more than this provincial life." Well, so do I :) I love to travel! And I want to make the most out of my life. It's my dream to travel to France, which is where Belle lives. And who wouldn't want the sweet gold dress she wears at the end. So, in the end, I think I am most like Belle.

ah... The Joys of Photobooth

So I recently got a brand new Macbook and I am loving every minute of it! One of the features that my niece and nephews love the most is the application Photobooth. As you can see, it distorts faces and just makes for hilarious memories. Haha, here are a few of the pictures and one of the videos that I particularly enjoy. PS i totally hate my laugh in the video, I apologize :)
