My top 10 Guilty Pleasures....rather my favorite things in random order

We were talking about our Guilty Pleasures randomly on Friday and I thought I would post about it just because I am that cool....
Lets start with Reading....not just reading but reading a book in a week or less and reading twilight and harry potter books in a week....love it!
Next I am in love with Texas Roadhouse Ribs....I want a rack right now.

If you know the Anderson family at all....We all love popcorn! I don't just love regular popcorn but popcorn covered in butter...yum!



I am obsessed with cats! Oh I think I will end up being a crazy cat lady because this picture makes me laugh so hard....


I am in love with the Gap and would buy everything from there if I had the money to do so...I also love to shop and shop way too much according to my dad and not enough according to me. I also love love love Jim from the office!

Anyone who knows me.....knows that I am in love with High School Musical and have been since the first one came out! I own all of the movies and all the soundtracks....it is my one thing that makes me still relatable to 14 year old girls. I also am in love with ZAC EFRON....yeah.
My first semester up at college they started this show on abcfamily called Greek and I watch it every week....I just love it!

Last semester my roommates got me hooked on a show called Glee....it is like a weekly dose of High School Musical for me....not so Disney tho.....and I am in love with it! Plus cute boys singing...yes please!

I also love taking bubble baths....and reading in the tub for hours. It is one of the most relaxing things that I do and I probably do it too often.

I love nerdy boys....Seth Cohen from the O.C. aka Adam Brody....and I am kind of obsessed with Buick's! I have a Buick Le Sabre 1998 and I love it...but I am not going to lie when I see a newer Buick or a commerical for a Buick I secretly want it.

I HEART COCO BEAN!


Ansley and Cohen came to visit me during my one week break off of school. We had so much fun shopping, going to the Coco Bean, moving me up to Rexburg, getting our hair done, and more shopping! Don't worry nothing goes to waste when you have Robert...aka Dad to lick the cupcake wrappers.

Cohen really like the Coco Bean....Papa gave him so cupcake and frosting and Aunt Meme gave him such delicious frappicino.
Cohen is so excited to try all the delicious cupcakes....

Of course we had to document...Cohen aka Coco Bean at the Coco Bean.

Aunt Meme and Coco Bean laughing up a storm....he would laugh so hard when I did pretty much anything.....laughed, coughed, was just talking.....I love you Cohen!

One day we went to Rexburg to move me in and went to the bookstore and Cohen was so tired he was doing the whole head bob thing and the next thing we knew it....he fell asleep on his tray table....so cute.
Ansley requested that we go to Wingers....for some reason everyone loves that place because Afton requested it also while she was here. They just don't have it very many places. Cohen was showing us he had moneyies to pay for us.....thank you Cohen....actually Grandma or Mom.

I loved having Ansley there....it made my break the best and we had such a great time. I love spending time with you Ans and come again soon or I will have to plan a trip to St. Louis soon.
Cohen's maybe first french fry....so cute!

Conference Weekend

Taylor and I walking around Temple square.
Taylor, Maegan, and I posing in front of a fountain. Maegan hadn't been to temple square since she was little so we gave her the grand tour.

In the spirit of being on temple square we re-acted one of the statues there...we are so silly.


Yeah we think we are pretty hot...

The three of us on the marriage rock in front of the temple.

Me and my boy Tay Tay... we gangster


The conference center with so many people still coming out...this was 15 minutes after we left.

Me on the top floor of the Joesph Smith building in front of the Salt Lake Temple...sorry it is so dark.

Thanks to Maryann for letting us stay at her house...she made sure we had the full Easter experience and we dyed eggs....I know you can't see it but it is a dinosaur egg aka dipping the egg into all the different colors, my specialty.

Our well dyed eggs....I only dyed one of them that is why they look so good.

The Egg dying crew....you guys are amazing!

The wonderful dye used to make my beautiful dinosaur eggs. I didn't know you could make it from scratch but Maryann reminded me that all you need is vinegar, food coloring, and some hot water....I am amazed.
I also made Devil Eggs for everyone...I don't know if anyone liked them but Grandma Hodge would have been proud. Maryann says usually they just throw the boiled eggs away.....the Grandma Anderson in me was shocked!

We always have to do somewhat of a ladies night when the boys are out a priesthood session so thank goodness Angela has some amazing cousins that have agreed to adopt me and helped me make fabric flowers....they were so much fun. Since we aren't really related we had to change our names to become related....Maegan and Shanequa are officially cousins.

Maegan's first time in conference....she was so excited. Taylor called and surprised us with tickets for Saturday afternoon.

Us outside the conference center with our tickets....I was so excited to be in the conference center and to hear the prophets and apostles speak....it was amazing. We also attended the Sunday morning session thanks to Ryan and Carrie for getting us tickets. It was a nightmare getting there because they closed the freeways getting there because of the icy roads....I thought the police were out to get the Mormons....but somehow we got there just in time and ended up on the balcony...it was a miracle.

Every tour of temple square must involve visiting the Christ statue in the visitors center. Thanks Maegan, Taylor, Ryan, Carrie, and Wiseman Family for making conference weekend so great.

Winter 2010 Edition

Lots has been going on this semester. Here is just a taste of a couple of things I have done this semester and some great people that I love to hang out with. Stephaine, a best friend of mine, and me went to guitars unplugged...if you asked me it was bit of a disappointment.

I also went with my roommate Maegan and my my bestie Gina....I love these girls.


A new thing I decided to do this semester was to join social board...Angela convinced me. It has been so much fun and got me completely out of my comfort zone and I have made some amazing friends. Here is a picture of us going on a trip for social board...I love you Angela!


I also cut my hair! I know....so I ended up burning my hair with my straightner so I had to get it cut which makes me sad because I was trying to grow it out. I also permed my hair like two years ago so it was nice to cut most of the perm off. So in short....I cut my hair!

Here is another pic...I also colored it too!

In my spare time I read to BYU-I students who can't read....jk. I went on a date....I know shocking! We did a scavenger hunt which was so much fun...it included ring shopping, proposing to a stranger, having a stranger kiss your date, and entering a bathroom of the opposite sex. Its Rexburg you have to get creative.

Here is a pic of the ladies before our hot dates....yeah we know.

There is a new frozen yogart place in Rexburg and they have this sign in the bathroom and I just had to document it...I am thinking of putting it up in my bathroom some day.


Here we are at the frozen yogart place...Twizl Berry....So GOod!

So because I was on social board we were incharge of the Valentines Dance....which meant getting dates and going. So I did the scariest thing I have ever done...I asked a boy out. I now feel so bad for boys and how they have to ask out girls. I was a wreck before we went over and if I would have been the boy I asked out I don't know if I would have said yes...but fortunatelly he did. This is my outfit for the dance...thanks to my roommate Brittney.

Funny story...my date actually bailed on me the day before he called me and told me he was going to cali with a girl he had kind of been dating. I of course did not know he had been dating a girl or would have not asked him out for v-day. Anyway he set me up with one of his friends and I ended up having a great time. Funny thing....carma always hits those who do the ditching....he may have or may not have got ditched. I would put the pictures up from the dance but for some reason they wouldn't load....sorry.

The Rents and I. We took my roommies to dinner one of the first weeks of school so they could meet my parents and we could do a lil bit of roommate bonding.


Here is the roommate bonding....we like trying on crazy stuff in target.

Dad and I made the best apple pie that you have ever tasted....but this time with shortening that hadn't expired. It was amazing how well it tasted when all the ingredients are fresh.
