My Friends=Friends?

So, about a month ago I think it was my friend Devon who brought it up but he mentioned how that our group of friends has become like Friends the TV show. Haha, we have all at one point been interested in each other, dating each other, been extremely mad at each other, not speaking to each other, living with each other--I would say its only been boys with boys and girls with girls except I kind of count Devon living with me for a couple days meaning his stuff was in my fridge because his was broken during homeless week at BYU.--, anyways. So now I come to the question... WHYYY??? we have been friends with each other for over a year now. And it has literally felt like we have been friends all of my years of college. Some people have come into our group, some have got married, and some of us have been in and out of serious relationships but still we stay super good friends. Weird. Anyways. So I have decided that I love my friends so much.. like a lot. I never thought that I would be so close to girls like Stephanie, Nichole, and Asthen. They are my everything. I have gotten even closer to Nichole and Ashten since I started living with them at Liberty Square. Love them so much. This month has been pretty rough for me but I come home from school to Nichole making me cry laughing at her staring at me with her creepy smile in her face mask while dancing to her strobe light. And then I die laughing at Ashten when she comes out of no where and says the perfect combination of witty and inappropriate that it makes me so happy inside. And Nathan Eagan who is our Liberty Square neighbor now. Can't express how wonderful it is to still have him close. He is my anchor in life. I have known Nathan from the beginning with Devon and Braden at the Riv. He has been there for me through thick and thin and is there to slow dance with me "ballroom style" at every dance we try and crash. Always up for a party and for fun even if he is crazy busy. If its important to him, he will be there. With a homemade casserole and a singing voice of an angel. And there's the boys of Manavu of course. Sometimes I literally want to punch them all individually in the face. But sometimes they are just the best. We'll start with Kyle. Sweet Kyle. All of the inappropriate things he says is usually made up for all of the times he calls me babe, baby, sweetheart, and honey. It use to annoy me, but I really do love it. It makes me feel important. And then there's Braden. Not only does he share my little brothers name but I seriously respect this dude. 60% of the time Im convinced he came from outer space, but his snapchats are always my favorite. This guy oozes with witty remarks and crowd pleasing jokes. He's too mainstream for stand up comedy. Then there's Devon. Devon is probably the one I argue the most with to his face. I guess I can just be real with him cause I know he doesn't judge. But he is pretty dang awesome. However, I do not agree with 1. His picky taste in women, 2. His views about eating canadian candy with .000000001 amount of coffee in it. 3. His over the top strict views about curfew and 4. His women jokes. But on the other hand I do agree with his 1. work ethic 2. Money management skills/frugalness and 3. loyalty. 4. Active/up for anything fun. If you need him to help you with something he will be there. And if he can't be there he will find someone to be there for you. For real though. He is the best. And last and sometimes least of all there is William. I'm joking about the least because we joke that everyone kind of hates William. Its not that any of us actually do. We just can't handle all of him at once at times. He is seriously one of a kind though. All I can think of to describe william is to put Mr. Darcy, Nick (from New Girl), Squidward, the Grinch, Steve Carell into a blender...especially Steve Carell's eyebrows.. and you have William. But I will say that that wouldn't even begin to describe him. Also you have to add his amazing dance moves or else you don't know Will at all. He is the reason I go to some dances. And after meeting his brother I now know it runs in the family. Will is so great though. You know when you've gone through so many ups and downs with someone that in the end you just feel like you have to be friends forever now? Thats how I feel about all of these guys. Seriously, they are all golden. There wives are going to be absolute rockstars..and no I will NOT be a groomsman at their wedding like some weird girls do when their super close guy friends get married.. Its weird...and I will not be apart of that cult. The wedding is for the girl.. if we are friends and wants me to be a bridesmade thats fine..but if not I'll sit quietly in the back sipping my italian soda and eating all of the cake balls...all of them. Anyways. I love these guys so much. Which is why I let them eat my free meal at the awful waffle every time I work 1. because I am on a diet 2. because my roommates are on a diet and 3. Because I seriously love them and can't make up for everything they do for me. Priesthood blessing, home teachers, study buddies, moving buddies, farmers market company, choir concert 'dates', wingmen, chauffeurs, crazy dance buddies, student section groups at football games, and way more that I can't think of right now. They could make an extremely funny TV show of our crazy life we've spent together over a year I've known all these fools. If they ever read this I will die. Because as far as they know, I only hang out with them to make me feel cool. It boosts their ego a little bit I think. But don't worry. I yell at them enough to bring it back down. I guess all of this Halloween decorating has gotten me in the holiday mood. A thankful, happy, peaceful, joyful, spirited mood. Hope it never goes away. Yay for friends who remind me of Friends. Never a bad thing.

Disclaimer: These are not all of my super close friends. These are just my friends who have recently made my life a little bit brighter. I literally started making a list of the people I love with all my heart and I couldn't stop naming names. Thats what happens when you grow up in California, go to school at BYU Hawaii, Work at Disney World, Go to BYU, and go on a Study Abroad to Europe. You meet people that change your life. More to come probably since I'm in such a people are awesome mood.

here's something that made me laugh out loud and almost pee my pants today. Gotta love Ellen:

America Is Closed

First of all I was suppose to post about this yesterday, sorry. Sorry to all of the billions of people following my blog..as in no one. I don't mind that no one reads my blog, mostly because I like writing to no one. It gets rid of the pressure. Anyways, so the government was shut down yesterday which is kind of crazy right? I didn't really know what to think about until I went to my Financial Management class later that day. Let me just say that my Financial Management class is the most wonderful class in the world.

Reason #1: Every class feels like a motivational speech given by the smartest man in AMERICA. Mostly because he's pretty funny and good what he does and is extremely knowledgable. If he was telling me straight up lies I might not know because I just trust most of what he says because he is so smart. But I do actually agree with a lot of his "normal to understand" logic.

Reason #2: I am not the best at managing my money but I would say I am a pretty frugal spender so all the notes I take in this class are like a revelation. So precious to me I keep it in my most favorite Taylor Swift notebook. Sometimes I feel like a joke in that class. I walk in to the JKB where there are about a billion super attractive men in suits who are too busy for women, and I walk in there with my floral pink Vera Bradley backpack, my mickey mouse sweater and my floral sneakers and sit down and pull out my one of 5 taylor swift notebooks I got from Big Lots and take notes about being serious in life. But then I remember the quote from New Girl of course:
"I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I spend my entire day talking to children... but that doesn’t mean I’m not smart and tough and strong."
Sometimes I hope that this quote is correct and that I really am smart and tough and strong. I may have worked at Disney World and I might like cats more than a normal person but I also consider myself a tomboy in a way. I like baseball and I'd much rather go camping then stay at a hotel. I guess that's just me though. Who's to say that I can't listen to some Jack's Mannequin and Yellowcard as loud as I can in the car and rock out but also scream like a little girl when my favorite One Direction song comes on at a dance party? I think that Jaime can definitely like both things. That's what I think though.

Reason #3: I love all the references he makes to the Gospel. As much information I get about how to be financially smart I get equal amounts of how to be spiritually smart and knowledgable in the Gospel. I love it. It's great.

So back to my original plan for this post: America is closed.. My friend who I worked with at Disney posted on Facebook a pretty funny status that said "Happy 42nd anniversary to Magic Kingdom in Disney World! In other news, America is closed." I thought that was pretty funny. Im not sure if saying America is closed is actually correct but it is pretty funny. Anyways, so in my financial management class we first went over 14 challenging trends of America over the years. Then after that depressing lesson we then spent the rest of the class going over 22 compelling trends of America. It was awesome. We talk about in class a lot that attitude really is everything and it truly can make you more successful and live longer. I think I was blessed to have been born with a very optimistic family and way of thinking for myself. Its just the way I am. So I always love hearing that there are more positive things happening in America especially after hearing about the Government closing yesterday. Here's some of my favorite quotes from the class period that I took. Some are from books and some of from my teacher.. sorry If I don't label them. I write so fast in that class:

"within a generation, we will be able to provide goods and services,once reserved for the wealthy few, to any and all who need them" -Abundance: The future is better than you think

Howard W. Hunter lived through the Great Depression, 2 World Wars, and Vietnam. If he had hope then so can we.
