Happiness Day 7: Shopping at the Long's Food Storage!!!

Today I had to go up to Salt Lake to grab some things from my brothers house. Right before I was about to leave, my sister-in-law asked if I needed any food, which at first I turned down, but after thinking about it, I thought, why not take some extra food storage so I don't have to buy it!!!?!?!?! CHaching!!!

So, after looking through their food I ended up with 3 cans of peaches, 5 cans of tuna, about 8 cans of spaghetti sauce (big cans), peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and a box of cheerios!!! HOORAY!!! I can eat for quite a while with all of that stuff!!!

Thanks DeeDee and Alice!!! I love you!!!

Happiness Day 6: Flowers

Today was a little bit harder to find something to come up with. It was just a normal day, and this is what I look forward to the most. Having to search for something that might not be super noticeable. Really all I did today was get up, get ready, go to class, do some homework, go to walmart, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner. Nothing too special. However, I LOVE living off campus. That being because I get to walk a little farther to class. I love BYU campus. It is so beautiful. And now that it's summer, all the trees are green and the flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love seeing the flowers on my way to class and I'm going to miss them in the winter. So, I will enjoy them while I can and continue walking to class :)

Happiness Day 5: Funny Girl

Okay, this will be my last late post. Hopefully!!!

Yesterday I moved into my new apartment, and after a day of classes and grocery shopping I came home. One of my roommates asked me if I knew about Family Home Evening, which I didn't so she told me about it and I decided to go.

It turns out, one of the the wives of one of the members in the bishopric was in a play at the Scera theater. The Scera theater has an outdoor theater, so we all piled in cars, laid out our blankets, and sat under the stars while we watched Funny Girl. This play was turned in to a movie that stars Barbra Streisand. It was super fun. The lead girl was fantastic and it was super fun to watch with new friends. The male roles didn't do as well, but it was fun to watch. Needless to say, I had "Don't Rain On My Parade" stuck in my head the rest of the night. I'm excited about my new apartment. Everyone seems really nice and the ward seems great. YIPEE!!!

Happiness Day 4: Old Traditions, New Semester

Last night, I drove back up to Provo for school. I got here about 9 and since I couldn't move in to my new apartment until today, I stayed with Erynn. It was super fun. I got to see old friends, and meet new ones. Best of all, we went to Ihop and got the usual. Mozzarella sticks and a ham and egg melt. Delicious. It was so fun to hang out with Erynn and meet some of her new friends. I'm super excited for this semester!!!

Happiness Day 3: Spamwiches!!!

YUM!!! Thanks to Evan Creasup, the Long family was introduced to Spamwiches. They are DELICIOUS! Hearing what's on them, you might think differently, but don't knock it til you try it! A Spamwich consists of Eggos, either Strawberry or Blueberry, an egg, cheese, spam, creole seasoning, and hot sauce. It's the perfect mix of sweet, salty, and spicy. It's so yummy. We were supposed to have them later in the week for dinner, but since my mom loves me sooooo much, she made them tonight so I could have them before I left to go back to school. And tomorrow, we get PORK CHOPS!!! Ahhhh, I have the best mom ever.

And, a special shout out to EVAN!!! Without whom, we never would have had the chance to taste of this goodness!!!

Happiness Day 2: Swimming, Sun, and Being Puerto Rican

I love the summer. I love laying out in the sun, going swimming, and getting tan. I also love the fact that I'm Puerto Rican. It helps quite a bit in the summer because I don't really burn. I just get tan. Well, for the last couple years I've spent the summer in Alaska, so I haven't been able to get very tan. This summer though, that is NOT the case. I've been to the pool almost every day with the family, and try to lay out for at least a half hour every day. It's so nice down here in Southern Utah and I have begun to get my tan back!!! Hooray!!! (I might start going to a tanning booth year round so I can keep this B-E-A-UTIFUL tan!)



I can't figure out how to get my picture to attach that I took today. This one is from when I went to Puerto Rico in 2008.
