Happy Birthday lover boy!!

I guess it's no surprise when I say that I'm in love with Blake Edward Sanford!

And guess what?! 

Today is his 24th birthday! 

And guess where I am? 

In Romania! 

Sucky. 

Not the fact that I'm in Romania...of course. 

Just the fact that I'm in Romania on his birthday...obviously.

So in honor of his birthday, I'll tell you a bunch of pointless things about me and him. Mostly him. 

What kind of girlyfriend would I be if I didn't do that?!

A bad one. 

The answer is, a bad one.

Some Randoms------>>

There is NEVER enough ketchup on B's burgers. I swear the thing could be jam packed in ketchup and he'd still dip it in more. Ketchup lover? Or just a habit? I have yet to decide.

He keeps all of his shoes in the shoe box they came in. He has STACKS of shoe boxes.

I can't sing in Sacrament with him or pray out loud at family dinners if he is there. I always get a bad case of the giggles. I don't know what it is, but it's no bueno. 

He loves to write letters. I have an entire binder full of surprise love letters from him. 

His closet is super organized.

English accent? Terrible.

He always finishes his food last. Kills me! But we can't decide if I'm just super fast at eating, or if he's just super slow.

Once we bought a fish together and named him Wiz. We decided to alternate weeks taking care of him starting with B. After Blake's week, I decided to make it HIS fish, instead of OUR fish. Sorry Wiz...it's not that I hate you, it's just that I hate fish. BUT I really want a dog. Unfortunately, B said I have to prove to him that I can take care of an animal by taking of Wiz for 3 WHOLE WEEKS! So either Wiz will once again become OUR fish. Or, we'll never get a dog. Or, Wiz might "accidentally" die in the first week under my care... making it possible for me to not take care of that dumb fish and still get a dog.

Some Funnies--->>

Once I was in my bathroom and he hid in my closet. When I walked into my room, he jumped out of the closet and it scared me so bad! I screamed so loud, stumbled backward and sat down on my bed. Except for, my bed wasn't behind me like I thought it was. So then I was completely off balance and continued to stumble backward until my back slammed into my window sill, I sprained my thumb trying to catch myself, scraped up my arm on the side of my bed, and then finally landed in a ball on the ground where I started to cry. Yes cry. I was so scared, I was in some serious pain, and I was supes embarrassed!  I just remember looking at B standing still with wide eyes. All he said was, "I'm so sorry. That was just supposed to be a 'haha. I scared you!'..type of moment".

 Once B and I were making out (sometimes I hesitate to say making out...so I'll delete it and put "kissing" but we all know that "kissing" basically means "making out" so I decide to use "making out" anyway. Plus, I'm 20...20 year-olds make out all the time). As I was saying...we were kissing making out and he got a bloody nose! GROSS!!! After cleaning up [both] our faces, (like I said...gross), we decided to give making out a break. But then somehow we ended up kissing again. Figures. All of the sudden I feel something wet on my face... "freaking B! You have another bloody nose!", (double bloody nose? DOUBLE GROSS!). But he pulls back his face and realizes he doesn't have a bloody nose. Which only leaves one person. Me. I ran to the bathroom and low, and behold...I had a bloody nose. Freaking gross. What are the odds that we both would get bloody noses on the same night? We both died from embarrassment that night. But also died of laughter. So I'll call it a win.

Some Lovey Stuff---------->>

I'm so in love with this boy of mine. Somehow through our crazy lives, we became the best of friends. He really is the best person. His infectious personality is something that I have always craved being around. He makes me laugh every single day of my life! Not to mention the fairy tale type of love he gives. He makes me feel like the most beautiful and loved person in this world. I'm obsessed with every single thing about him.

So B,
Happy Birthday!
I wish I could be there with you today.
But thanks for supporting me while I'm here.
And thanks for loving me.
Even though I sometimes get makeup on your squeaky clean white shirts.
And fall asleep 5 minutes into every movie we watch.
And make you drive everywhere we go.
And beat you in chess all the time.
And eat all your food when I order something gross.
You're the coolest, and bestest, and funniest, and hottest, and most romantic person I know. 

I LOVE YOU LIKE WHOA!!!

xoxoxoxo, Riksie

Oh Lachelly.

This beaut turned 21 today. 21! Can you believe that??

In honor of Lush, I'll tell you some cool things about her. 
Also included, for your enjoyment, are the ugliest pics of us....

Once, Lachelly asked me what the stuff is called that you floss your teeth with. 

Once, Lachelly didn't know if New Mexico was in the United States. 

Once, Lachelly lost a bet to me about what city she was born in. 

Once, Lachelly washed her car at a gas station with the gas pump thinking it was water. 

Once, Lachelly had to talk to our health teacher after class because she put "examine your testes monthy" on the question "What are 3 ways to take care of the female body". 

Once, Lachelly "double-spaced" a paper by putting two spaces in between each word instead of between each line. 

Once, Lachelly thought frozen dinners were all dinners that you ate while they were still frozen. 

Once, Lachelly signed her name on her drivers license and completely spelled her last name wrong. 

Once, Lachelly was scared to marry a black person because the right side of their baby would be all white, and the other half would be all black. 

Once, Lachelly asked how water bottles get cold in the fridge if they have their lids on.

Once, Lachelly asked what the time difference from St. George to Provo was.

And guess what else?

Once, Lachelly cleaned my whole room as a surprise because I was stressed with finals.

Once, Lachelly bought me tickets to a New York Giants game.

Once, Lachelly came home from New York for a vacation and COMPLETELY surprised me.

Once, Lachelly dyed my hair for me.

Once, Lachelly shared a bed with me for a whole summer.

And lastly...

 Lachelly lets me wear and borrow her clothes.

Lachelly tells me how cool I am, or how stupid I'm being.

Lachelly is the best cleaner.

Lachelly is the best with kids.

 Lachelly is the most thoughtful person.

 Lachelly makes me laugh.

and Lachelly is my BEST FRIEND!!!!

I'm seriously you guys.

I love her so much.

Wish her a Happy Birthday, won't ya?

A decade plus another one.

That's right. Two decades together equals twenty years. TWENTY! Hot dang. I'm a twenty year old.  I had a really cool birthday too. Started off with a 12:00 birthday song sung by the boyfriend [who never sings and has the voice of an angel :)] while a virtual cupcake danced on his computer screen. A 6 am wake-up from my 3 friendies who snapped lots of pics of me in all my morning glory, made me dress up in old dance costumes, and took me to Kneaders. Lots of presents from the best little sister ever.  Lush and I laid in bed and sang songs at the top of our lungs until we decided to get up for the day and wax off our upper lip hair (random...I know, but it hurt like a mother, and I highly do NOT recommend it).  Went to school..BOOOOO, but left early to go get sushi with my Padre. He's the best. Rode down the canyon on longboards with boyfriend and went for a hike to this sweet little waterfall. At the end of our ride, he gave me a clue, left me all alone, and sent me on a scavenger hunt. After driving all around Provo, I ended up at his house where he gave me my present, showered me with hugs and kisses and about a million "happy birthday's". Then we ventured over to my house where Lush and the fam planned a BBQ with all the amigos. We tramp jumped, rode around in a mini bus, laugh and chitchatted, went to go get snowcones (but they were closed), and somehow, in all the madness, I ended up at Blake's house with him all to myself. We probably watched a movie. I don't remember. We probably made-out too. It was my birthday, so we basically had to. All-in-all....it was the best 20th birthday I have ever had.

B made me this key chain...equip with pennies from the year I was born and the year he was born. Such a creative boy I'm dating. AND this Herschel backpack that I've been wanting for forever. Dang it makes me looks good at school. It really does...it truly truly does.

 

Here's a video you can watch, if you feel so inclined too. But please, ignore the zits that are lovin my face these days. I'm hoping that now that I'm 20, they'll realize how old and mature I am and decide to go bug some little girl in Jr. High or something. I wouldn't even feel bad...we all had to deal with it back in those days. 

Dos. Uno. Anos.

Taylor Woodward. She has been one of my best friends since the womb. Hahahahahahaha not really. (Rik...that wasn't even that funny). You're right. But she has been one of the besties for a looooong time. She's so funny. And has a rockin' bod. And is the best gym buddy ever. And I love her cute face dearly. She turned 21 so a huge group of us all went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. Nevermind the 2.5 hour wait. Or the fact that we were starving. Or the fact that B and I got lost on the way there. It all called for a tizz-iiight-izzle night. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time killas! Cheers to being 21! She ordered her first alcoholic drink ever to celebrate. Wahooo!!! Haha. Jk. That was a joke!

Feeling wiser.

I promised myself that because it was my birthday, I would celebrate by staying far away from my homework load. I was completely unsuccessful,  I couldn't help myself. At least my one year older makes me wiser too. My homework sure could use a wiser soul working on it. Despite the homework that needed to be done, it was a great day. I'm feeling all sorts of happiness and love! I'm completely convinced I have the greatest family and friends in the world.

Kaniki and I spent the afternoon lounging around, napping, and watching movies (well, the same movie...twice). She sure is a cutie, isn't she?

Happy day of birth, time to birth a blog!

It's now 4:21. In the morning. Taylor, Ali, and Shelby have convinced me to create a blog. Yipee! I think I conformed to the idea 'cause of the late (early?) hour. Honestly this blogging stuff freaks me out. Thank goodness for Taylor's expertise on blogspot.com.

Today's my birthday. Cheers to a spectacularly CRAZY 19 years of life.
