surprises and secrets

Life is Like a box of Chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.
So true.
I moved into my new apartment and it is fantastic.
Super big. (like way way big)
lots of space in my room.

my roommates.
.....
Tiffany is from Florida.  She is 20. She is studying
landscape management and she
is such a sweetheart.  I think I am 
going to love living with her.
*secret*: she is waiting for her mission call.
..
Rachel is from Texas.  She is 19. 
She is studying Humanities.I met her last night
and I like her.  I hope the we become
good friends.
*secret*: Tiffany, Rachel and I all have the same swim suit:)
another *secret*: I think I might have to take up synchronized swimming
..
Sue is from Brazil.  I don't remember how old she is.
She is studying Musical Theatre.  fun.
*secret*: I hope to watch a musical or 2 with her.
..
Pricilla is also from Brazil.  She is 20. She is my 
official roommate, but she hasn't
moved in yet.  We shall see 
how things go.  Yes?
*secret*:  Pricilla has the most beautiful eyebrows and I am jealous.
..
Desiree is from Brazil.  She is 27.  She is
in her first year of her masters program and she 
is delightful.  Last night, we (and Tiffany
and Rachel and the mouse in my pocket)
ate brownies and talked.
*secret*:  Desiree speaks Portuguese (obviously) beautifully.
She answered her phone and spoke in her native tongue,
 and it made my day to listen to what a 
gorgeous language that is.
..
what else?
went to church and felt like the youngest one there.
That's ok. I should be used to that by now, right?
*secret*:  so I think this has happened like 3 or 4 times.
a guy in the ward introduces himself.
Him: "Hi, I so-and-so from such-and-such city in Davis County."
 Her: "Cool!  I'm Leslie and I am from Centerville."
Him: "No way!!  When did you graduate??"
awkward silence...
...
Her: "09?"
Him:  "oh. I graduated 04."
that is the "yay for being young" face

Chocolat...

So as many of you may know,
there are many things in this life that bring me joy.
Laying out, laughing, hand and foot, sewing,
reading, politics, family, the church, friends, redbud trees,
waterfalls, mountains, painting, yoga, etc.

But one thing that glues a smile to my face is 
DARK Chocolate :)

Recently, my FHE parents gave me a Hershey's Special Dark bar,
I just finished it.  I thought I should be responsible in recording the
calories, and I saw that for an entire bar of heaven, there are only 
180 CALORIES!  Is that not amazing???  Wow!  
And 3 grams of Fiber!?  Ok, that is like better than cold cereal for 
breakfast.

Also, sweet Jesse gave me an entire bar of
Godiva 85% Cacao... I can't wait to get started on that one!
(oh, this one is a little bit higher in calories, but one serving has
5 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein!)  
amazing!
I think I will write them a letter and tell them how much I love them! 
(the chololatiers that is)

Big Smile on My Face

Lately I've been walking around with this gigantic goofy smile just slapped straight across my face.  
Goofy.
  Silly.
 Whatever... I am totally happy!
  I am falling in love with running.  Weird I know, coming from me, but it is true.  The other day Carlie and Becca and I went for a run in the rain!  
This is us Before :
...
...

and this is After


So much fun!  If you haven't ran in the rain,
put it on your bucket list.


Also, another thing has been making me uber-happy.
And his name is Jesse.
Jesse Foster Thomas.
Yesterday, we went for a fantabulous hike up Pleasant Grove Canyon.
woot



It was such a fun hike!
