Win, past tense

Earlier this week someone won my heart....still don't know who but on a Tuesday night 3 guys who didn't even look remotely familiar came to our door and asked for Jessica. And we knew it was the real deal cause they were looking for Jessica Olsen. First and last name. It for sure wasn't a coincidence.  So they set me on a stool in the middle of the room (and yes there was a small audience there of a couple roommates and Darrin and Erik) and sang me Part Time Model by Flight of the Concords, mormon version haha it made my night. Embarrassing, but made my night. Worst part is I STILL have no clue who sent them or why. I guess it's healthy to have a little mystery in life right?? I hope the mystery is solved sometime in the near future.

Later this week I had a wonderful day that happened to be Valentines day. I started off with a bomb EFY interview. It was so fun and made me miss EFY so I really hope I will be able to do it again this year. I also had a good day because I did well on a test, randomly saw and chatted with 2 of my really good friends, then worked the rest of the day around flowers. After all flowers on valentines day are kind of a big deal. After that I had a Valentine!! Jake Slivka. Friends don't let friends be lonely on Vday. He was a doll and brought me a rose:) then we made tin foil dinners, like reallllly goooood tin foil dinners and went and made a fire and lit some fireworks. It was a good time.

The icing to the cake of this day was when I got a phone call. I'm planning on moving out of Nauvoo and the original plan was to go to this place called Brighton. They accidentally accepted my contract when they were in reality full so they had to pull out on me and Cassie. So we were on the hunt for another place we'd like to live and to be honest we're kinda picky. BUT we found a place that is being built right now, Northpoint. VERY nice apartments and NEW!! more spendy but we figured it would be worth it. So i went and took a tour, signed a lease, and got my name in a drawing. They almost forgot to let me sign my name in the drawing and luckily I knew about their little deal from Facebook so I reminded them and it's a DANG GOOD THING I DID BECAUSE I WON THE DRAWING which means I got a free contract for Spring. yes, F-R-E-E. I never win things. But i guess i win when it really counts cause i just saved $1,500 bucks:) #ecstatic
oh the tender mercies of the Lord.

Also check out this lovely painting that won in topping the chart in my list of favorite paintings. It is displayed in the art gallery on campus. It is simply gorgeous.

Happy Chinese New Year

Its the year of the horse people. Its gunna be a good year. Chinese New Year started on January 31st and its a week long celebration in actual China. Here in Rexburg me and a couple of my roommates celebrated for a few hours. We got Chinese food. Had to have an eggroll. We thought about origami and watching Mulan but we thought we shouldn't get too cray cray. So we stuck with these bad boy fireworks....

Happy Year of the Horse!
