Airports.

I'm on my way home. Yup. Better believe it. Arizona... here I come! So I started off in the Dallas airport and now here I am stuck in Albuquerque for the next hour of my life. But I'm not complaining because this will all be so stinkin worth it very very soon. The flight here was a breeze. Don't remember a thing. I was zonked. Now I am awake. Wide awake. And freezing. This place is like a freaking igloo. Please tell me why they feel it necessary to blast the AC right now. My lips are turning blue. 

I used to think flying was some awesome adventure. Now its just a more convenient pain in my side. Although, I gotta admit. Some pretty interesting people to watch here. So far we've got...

1. Two old people discussing the comics in today's newspaper.

2. A family arguing about the pineapple they purchased this morning for a dollar. 

3. Girl in a red shirt giggling one the phone. 

4. Dude in yellow shirt thinking way too hard about his crossword puzzle.

5. Another dude scarfing down Mexican food at 9 in the morning. Suit yourself...

6. And then there is me. Being the ultimate creeper. Oh, and freezing my butt off.

I think I am going to go see if they have any jackets for sale. 

Did I mention I am freezing??

Happy Birthday Psycho Mommy

It's my mom's birthday today. I don't think anyone could every know how much my mom means to me. Moms are amazing. She goes through so much. For me and for all her kids. She is the one who makes the whole show go on. She is the most caring, and loving person I know. She puts up with all my midnight phone calls and all my drama. She comforts me from miles and miles away. People always tell me how much I look like my mom. And how alike we are. That is one of the best compliments anyone could ever give me. But it's true. We have so many of the same characteristics. The same features. The same interests, and talents. But if there is one thing I hope I can do just like my mother... It is to serve the way she does. To treat others with the same love she does. To be as Christ like as she is. She is the most incredible example to me. One day, I want to be like her. 

Mommy.... I wish I could be there with you today. I wish I could hug you tight right now. I love you mom. Today you are one year more beautiful than you ever have been. I really am... the luckiest girl in the world.

Happy Birthday Mommy.

Love, 

Psycho Baby

1..2..3.. days & I can hardly wait.

The big day is almost here. The day I get to see my family, my friends, my car, and my home. Although I do live in Texas now, I still consider Arizona my home. One of them, that is. As long as my family is there, it is home. They are home. Not the place. 

Today I called in sick to work. Any idea how much I hate doing that? SO much. It makes me feel like the worlds biggest wimp. Yup, that's right. the award goes to me. "Whitney the Wimp" Has a nice ring to it. But, this tummy was not having it today. And the head...well it was about to burst. Still is actually. But besides that I think

I've got a few things on my mind right now....

1. Madalyn Mae, thanks a lot for getting me completely hooked on Army Wives.

2. Where is Parker going to go on his mission? 

3. I have got to send Elder Whitlock a letter soon or he is going to kill me. 

4. In 3 days I get to go home for a week long visit.

5. On Sunday, I am giving the closing prayer in Sacrament. Scary.

6. Last night Preston Merchant and Wesley Monahan unexpectedly skyped me. And it rocked.

7. I want to see Harry Potter so stinkin bad!

8. I miss my roomie. 

9. My dad is the coolest cat around.

10. I really wish I was moving to Utah. But I'm just going to push that thought out.

Mariah Lee Martinsen

Around 7 years ago I met one of the most incredible people in this world. And today, well... it's her birthday. I really really want her to know how much I care about her. How much she means to me. We have been through a lot together. We have had ups and downs but we grew up together. Literally. We went through some of the most experimental years of our lives together. We entered the 7th grade together. Side by side. And when she wasn't there...I didn't know what to do, so I would call my mom and make her come get me. We went to Eagles Arie together. We danced together. And we competed against each other. And we fought each other. And we got jealous of each other. And then, we laughed with each other. We did unmentionable things together. We went to Disneyland together. And then, we graduated with each other. We packed and we moved away from each other. We  For some reason, not matter how long it has been, Mariah and I can reconnect like we were with each other yesterday. I miss her. More than my own word can describe. I look up to her so much. She is so strong. And beautiful. And talented. She has so much going for her. I am so happy for her. And I wanted her to know that. I love you Miah.

Happy birthday.

Whit.

Choose the Right.

I feel like I owe my blog an apology.

Dear Blog,
I am so very sorry. From the bottom of my little heart for completely neglecting you this week. I feel awful. And I promise I will do my very best to avoid letting this ever happen again in the future.
Sincerely,
Whitney

I did something very "big girl" yesterday.
Yup.
Like super duper big girl. Kinda like the most big girl thing I have ever done in my entire nineteen years if life. Are you ready? Hold on tight...
I bought a car! In full! Woo!
If there were words to describe how ridiculously stoked I am then I would use them. But there just isn't. There are actions though. The jumping up and down, screaming at the top if your lungs, and uncontrollable giggles kind of actions. I am just so happy. I did one of the big girl things I have been saving and saving to do for quite some time.

Enough of this car talk.

I am thinking I really need a CTR ring. I used to wear my moms ring from when she was way younger. It was all gold. And I was sorta obsessed with it. But once upon a time I left it by the sink while I was washing the dishes and I forgot about it. So she took it and hid it from me. Sad day, let me tell ya. I miss that ring. A whole lot. Therefore I am going to buy one. My very own gold CTR ring. The only problem is i want the exact one my mom has.... and I cant find it online anywhere. Gosh dangit I do not like to settle.....

So here is my idea. What do you think of this?

I get this. And I have CTR engraved on it. I'm thinking I really dig this idea. It isn't real gold, just plated but hey. It's cute right? right. Imma just go for it. Worse comes to worse... Im out 20 bucks. I think I can handle it.

It's official. I'm a Dallas girl now. Woo!

It was an incredible day. If you don't mind...I think I will give you a little synopsis. Just because I feel so happy inside.

So to start off my day I woke up a little too early and attended a little too boring of a store meeting. But it's okay because I got Starbucks so all was well. After that super boring meeting finally ended I had another meeting. The only different... I was super nervous and excited for this one. And let me just say, this was the fabulous beginning to my super great day. The meeting went well. Long story short, I am officially transferring to the Fort Worth, TX store. I was so scared out of my mind that he would tell me I couldn't go to the store. But look at me now, I'm makin paperrrrr. Just kidding, well...sorta.

Guess what? After that meeting... I hung out with this friend and we had a super fun time. We walked around the mall...drank Jamba Juice & he treated me to a nice BBQ lunch. I sure don't mind that he is super funny too. I love funny people. Cause they make me laugh. Obviously.

Here we go. It's almost over. I swear, hang in there kiddos.

My super dang awesome room mate/friend/sister girl and I went to the "Taste of Dallas". It was so stinking cool. We just ate food... for hours on end! And we won sunglasses. Oh, and lets not forget about my pathetic attempt to do pull ups for the marine guys. But it's ok. They gave me a little necklace thing. Kinda like a pitty..."well at least she tried kinda deal". And I got a Rangers jersey, and a Joe's Crab Shack t-shirt that says "Bite Me". That one made me giggle. Silly restaurant.

And well. That's about it.

I'm just grateful. To have to opportunity to be here in Texas. And for the most incredible people I have been graced with. Even though it is so hard and I miss my family so much its indescribable. But, I know I am supposed to be here. I'm a Texas girl now. Yee-ha. Ta ta for now.

roomates.

i hate when my life gets so utterly consumed with work and I feel like I have no time to dedicate to my poor little blog. I promise I think about you often blog. I always wish I had time to post...but sometimes my eyes just can't stay open anymore. Like last night...

My roomate.

Lets start out with a little bit of a biography. Her name is Parisa Satvat Salehi. She is from Iran. She speaks a really cool language....but i can't remember what it is called. She eats a lot. She loves pizza. She likes to be messy. Candles are becoming quite an obsession, and she doesn't even realize it. She went to cosmetology school... yippee! (she is going to do my hair) She is gorgeous. And she is a huge dork. Oh... and we tip vans.

So last night we walked to 7-11. All stoked because we were going to Red Box to get ourselves a movie. SO we got it.... and we went home....and we put it in.... and we got all cozy on the couch....and BAM. There I went. Into dream land. It's like my eyes hurt so bad they just couldn't stay open. wort part is I started sleep texting. And we all know how that goes.

Miss Jordyn Lynn

I miss you. And I love you. Oh and World.... Jordyn wanted me to say hi. To you, love her. Allllll the way from New Zealand. Feel lucky. She is the greatest.
