Big Kid Post

HEYY GUYS! So..I'm 18 and this is officially the first blog post as a big kid...and first blog post in a while. My bad...What's up world? I don't really understand why I asked you that, since even if you did respond I couldn't hear you. But you are definitely more than welcome to shoot me a text or fb message telling me all about your life if you want to :)

            I definitely feel there is so much to blog about and I can't for the life of me think of a single thing to say. Let me ponder this...and I will definitely keep you posted.

            Ok I'm back from pondering my life. Here is what has been going on in the world of Haley. First things first, the relationship with the cute Australian boy in my psychology class has progressed. He still hasn't learned how genuinely weird I am. What we do know is that A) He thinks I have pretty hair. B) He remembered my birthday and C) He called me love. I KID YOU NOT. I'm thinking a spring wedding would be nice, don't you agree?  I also have a set surgery date! May 7th so...if you are going to be within reasonable distance of my humble abode around that time, (and all summer long if we are going to be real here) feel free to stop by with gifts of feeling better. Or just entertainment, because at least 2 weeks of being non-weight bearing does not sound like the best time in the world...Yay for having crappy knees. I hate you left knee, I hate you a lot. But I do look forward to doing everything that I love again! Which consists of living my life without being concerned my knee is going to give out, or being in excess amounts of pain constantly. High fives all around. Surgery and modern technology, you rule.

            I also turned 18!! Holy crap, it is about freaking time! I just want to take a moment to thank my mom and dad for getting married and holding hands and having me (because that's how babies are made..right?) because...I like being alive. I think it's a real good time, so shout out to you two. thanks guys :) I am so happy to finally be legally responsible for my actions! Let me tell ya, jail really wasn't that bad!!...joke. I have yet to be caught doing something illegal. I feel like I am doing a pretty solid job, I am 5 days in and they have yet to catch me...15 points to Gryffindor! Back to my birthday celebrations...I had such a good day! I absolutely LOVE birthdays (especially mine) so I had some pretty high expectations. Especially since I have the best family in the world so birthdays are pretty rockin' in the young family :) I was definitely sad to be away from my parents but my friends and siblings took good care of me! My roommates are the cutest and they all stayed up until midnight with me to celebrate the first few moments of my day, cupcakes were in fact included. Also a candle..needless to say I was satisfied. I was bombarded with so much love and kindness on my birthday by my friends and family that it blew me away, like it does every year. I feel so blessed to know so many wonderful people :) I went and took my psychology test, which is when my hot australian boyfriend not only remembered it was my birthday but saved me a seat next to him AND CALLED ME LOVE. I then proceeded to call my mom and scream with excitement the entire way home. Breanna and her hubby Jason came over shortly following and brought cupcakes and presents! My favorite things in the whole world... :) Then my friends took me out to dinner and we watched a movie all together. I also got to experience what a Crocodile Death Roll is. Off the sofa. Onto the floor. Face first. Happy birthday to me. hahaha it may not sound like much, but it was such a good day. Thank you to everybody who texted, called, wrote on my facebook wall, was present during the festivities, or even thought about me...you never cease to amaze me at the unconditional love you show for me. You guys are the greatest. SERIOUSLY.

            So other than that I am not quite sure what else is happening in my life. Kim and I cleaned our room..which, if you saw it, was pretty monumental. I wrote my friends on missions, took a day trip to St. George, I got a temporary tattoo (which I have yet to place on my body...), had serious inspiration during church, and added more pictures to my picture wall. I live such an incredible life, huh? :) In reality, I seriously feel so blessed, especially recently. I have the world's best roommate, I have incredible friends, my family is bomb. I have the gospel in my life, I go to an incredible school where I am getting a quality education, and I have yet to go hungry. Life is pretty incredible when ya think about it. :) I hope you all have such an incredible week, and until I blog again, which should be more frequent than it has been..my bad, I hope your days are filled with rainbows and sunshine!
