Day 26: Your Dream Wedding

I don't really have a "dream" wedding. I just want one that's simple and cheap. But there are a couple definite requirements:

1. It will happen in the TEMPLE!!! Probably this one:

2. I will be wearing orange converse shoes. Why? Cause I'm just that cool :) Granted, this one is slightly less important that #1 :)

3. My dress hast to be modest, especially to comply with number 1. It also will be pretty simple. It would probably be something like this: (But possibly with shorter sleeves)

That's pretty much it, my reception will probably be in a backyard, or it'll be a bonfire in the desert, and everyone can just wear jeans, including me!

Day 25: Put your iPod on shuffle, first 10 songs

1. Lover I Don't Have to Love- Bright Eyes

2. Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of-U2

3. A Little Too Not Over You-David Archuleta

4. Divide Me-Kalai

5. Dear Old Shiz-Wicked: Original Broadway Cast

6. Lothlorien: The Lord of the Rings

7. Liebestraum No. 3 in A Flat Major: Perfrmed by Yundi Li written by Liszt

8. A Lack of Color- Death Cab for Cutie :)

9. Just Lie Heaven-The Cure

10. On My Mind-Kalai <3

Just for fun I flipped through the next ten, which had some Muse and Smashing Pumkins :)

Day 24: Something you've learned

Don't eat yellow snow. Or brown snow. Or black snow. Or blue snow. Actually it's probably better not to eat snow. :)

Day 23: Favorite movie

Didn't they already ask this question? If you're curious, see day 7 of this challenge. :) Instead of reposting that I'll copy my good friend Hillso and tell you my favorite book: Jane Eyre.

Soooooo good. My copy is becoming thoroughly worn out from being opened so often :) Jane is my favorite literary character ever. I love how she stands for what she believes in no matter what and is just incredibly good, and doesn't give in to temptation even when it leaves her alone and heartbroken. It's fairly dark and pretty sad, but it's beautiful :)

Day 22: What's in your purse?

So I don't use one purse consistently. I switch around, and really I prefer to use my old ratty backpack, but sometimes that's not socially appropriate, so I have a couple back up purses just in case. So when I head out I always toss in my wallet, phone, chap stick, keys, pepper spray, and lately, a book. I was watching Gilmore girls in which Rorie always carries a book with her, and I thought it was an excellent practice, so I've started copying her. Okay, I usually have one with me anyways because there's always like five in my backpack, but I've started tossing one or two in my purse as well. Right now I'm toting around a copy of the Book of Mormon, which I try to always keep with me in case of emergencies, and Isaac Asimov's foundation, which I am in the middle of reading. :)

Exhaustion

I'm at the point in my life right now where there's just over 3 weeks left of school and I'm just done. I just feel drained and I'm having some major senioritis issues, which is kind of bad because I'm not even a junior yet. I just have to keep pushing for a couple more weeks. I have 4 finals, 1 essay, and 1 nursing application left to do and then I'm done!!! The problem is just going to be finding the motivation to keep going strong this last couple weeks. Sadly I have to, cause I have an 89.5 in most of my classes. It's killing me!! So yeah, that is pretty much my life right now, sorry if I have been neglecting you, it's not because I don't love you, it's because nursing school is a social-life-sucker. :)

Almost there!

Day 21: Favorite Picture of yourself ALL TIME and why?

I'm not really a fan of pictures of myself, but this one's pretty good I guess, mostly cause it has Charlie the Viola in it, he's the best. Even though he's been semi-replaced, he's still the viola I practiced the most!

Day 20: Nicknames

1&2. Bon, Bonbon-pretty much everyone calls me one of these. My niece calls me Bonbon when she's happy with me and Bon when she's exasperated with me. So cute!

3. Bonster-my halo name (which my brother made up), what two of my brothers call me, and my blog name.

4. Bombie- some guys in my seminary class had this conversation: "Bonnie is bomb, Bonnie's the bomb, Bonnie bomb.... Bombie!!!" And they were really excited at their cleverness and called me that for the rest of the semester"

5. Bonniebommiebon: my friend heard the above and started calling me this every time she saw me

6. Waffles- When I moved here the girls I started hanging out with had food names as nicknames, so this was mine

7. Cherry- I happened to be wearing a Cherry shirt at the time...

8. Big Mac- I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you

9. Betty- this guy in my government class told me I look more like a Betty, so that is what he calls me

10. Bonnielass- Becca and Jecca :)

I think that's about it, that's all I can think of anyways :) Funny story one time I found a horse online whose name was Bonnie, and it's nicknames were Bonbon and Bonster. Then when I was trying to find that horse just now to show you I found this dog, whose name is Bonnie and whose nicknames are Bonbon and Bonster. Awesome. :D http://www.dogster.com/dogs/28123

Here's the horse too, it's the 9th one down: http://paradigmfarms.blogspot.com/2010/05/nicknames.html

Makes me laugh :)

Day 18 and 19

So I'm going to combine Day 18 (Favorite place to eat) and Day 19 (Something you miss) because they are both the same thing:

Plum Loco!!! (Formerly known as Mi Casa)

Best. Mexican food. Ever. And it's in Idaho Falls, so I haven't had it in about 6 years, but if I had the money, I would fly up there for a chimi. No lie, some of my family members have done it :) My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also their salsa is to die for :)

Sooooooooo good :)

Day 17: Something you're looking forward to

Graduation!!!!

BAM

Nuff Said. :)

Day 16: Dream house

For me, it's all about location:

That's right, Bag End baby!!!! (P.S. if you don't know what I'm talking about, go read Lord of the Rings, and then watch the movie :)

But just think, it's perfect, it comes with beautiful landscaping:

amazing housey-innards:

And HOBBITS!!! Who are pretty much the coolest. EVER. (Sam's my fav, closely followed by Pippin, fyi, but they all rock :)

And who doesn't love round green doors right?

Overall it's pretty much amazing. However, it does have one very small setback:

It's a little too small. You really only fit if you are about four feet high.

Also, it is in a slightly not real location...:(

Sighhhhh, if only I were four feet high and fictional.

Oh well, a girl can dream right? :)

P.S. Check it out, they made Bag End into a doll-house. AWESOME.

Day 15: Bible verse

2 Timothy 4: 6-7

"For I a now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

I have always absolutely loved this verse. Every time I read it it inspires me, and makes me want to try harder to keep the commandments and follow the Savior, so that one day when this life is over, I can know that I've fought as hard as I can to keep the faith.

P.S. The picture above is of Paul writing a letter to Timothy from prison. The picture below is of the Stripling Warriors in the Book of Mormon, which kind of relates, because they fought hard (literally) and kept their faith :)

Makeover Time!

So this one time, my lovely nieces (Strawberry, Apple, and Mango) came over to visit. And we were bored. So then Apple said, lets have a makeover party! I guess it's cause I'm just that good at makeovers!! haha....yeah. Anyways, despite my lack of photography skills, hair-doing-make-up doing-fingernail-painting skills, my models still manage to look beautiful :) So here they are:

Here's Strawberry after her eyes and nails: (She liked my green monster rug :)

Here's Apple after hers:

And Mango...was really wiggly :)

And then they all saw my lipstick :) Hehehe

And then came the hair...

So basically it was super cute, and then they went through and picked out the pictures they wanted me to put on my blog :)

Day 14: A picture of you last year - how have you changed?

So this picture was taken last year when my family went to the museum. How have I changed since then? Well for one thing, I'm not about to be eaten by a dinosaur skeleton anymore :) Also, I am a sophomore in college now (almost a junior!), I have been volunteering at a hospital for about a year, I started going to a student ward, I fell in love with Thai food, I read Jane Eyre (again :), and I met a few new peeps, and I got called to be a ward missionary, and in one month I will put in my official application for the nursing program!! Other than that, I'm pretty much the same as ever, I go to school, I stay with my familia, aaaaaaand I have a dog, who is a little insane :) That's about it :)
