Sunday!

I had a really great time at church today. We sat with these really cute girls that live by the capital. They were so sweet and way funny!! Me and Dana has decided that we were going to try and meet at new person or sit by a new person every sunday and try to sit by new people when we eat at the Cafe.

Me and dana got home taught today.

Oh dana and I made cupcakes for my Aunt Di because we were doing a birthday dinner tonight for her. I wont mention her age (cause she would kill me), but her birthday is on tuesday. So it was way fun everyone was there and we just talked and ate and me and dana played the michel jackson game to work off the pounds. Cause i'm going to weigh in tomorrow, and I will give you an update tomorrow.

Well me and dana are going to watch are new favorite show friday night lights.

So today I was not able to make it to Weight Watchers today because I had a Brighton staff meeting this morning. And by the time I got done and came home and got ready they were closed by the time I was ready. So.... I will be going in on Monday and thats when I will give my report.

But so Dana and I went to Costco for lunch today. (free samples!!!)

Then we went the target and I bought a new laundry basket(it has wheels!!!). My other laundry basket has been completely ruined!!! So this was a much needed purchase.

But the exciting thing that we did today is that dana's sister gave us the password to her Netflix so we are watching Friday Nights Lights, its a TV show, it is supper good!!! Its like Remember the Titans but a TV show.

And then I made us some Potatoes and eggs!!!!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It reminds me of home thats for sure! My mom always made potatoes and eggs. She taught me well! Can I just say yummy!!

love,

Cassie

work and a surprise in the mail!!

So this morning I watched The Biggest Loser!! Can I just say I love that show!!!!!! Its so good!

anyways then I went to work for 9 hours. UGH!!!! It was so long and my feet kill but I will deal with it. I mean I kind of have to right? But It was a really great sale day! I sold over $1000! woot woot!

Then I came home and what was sitting on my desk???!?!?!?!?!

A letter from my Cousin Matt, I mean Elder Kjar! It was the best letter I have ever read!!! He is having so much fun at the MTC and he can't wait to go out into the mission field! In his writings it sounds like he is like 30 years old. He has matured so much in just 2 weeks. Its crazy. He writes all these amazing things about the MTC and about the gospel that it makes me wont to go on a mission NOW!! He said this, "If I were asked where the spirit like to be, I wouldn't say the church, or even the Temple, but the MTC. The spirit flows through here like a warm breeze. He walks by me and stands by me everyday and helps me teach to my fullest extent. The Lord loves everyone of his children. It's my job to show them the path to come back to Him. I can't wait for the day when I get to see my Savior, Standing before me, and Inviting me into his merciful embrace. I know that he is my Savior, my Redeemer, and my Friend."

Isn't this kid amazing!!! I want to be like him when I grow up. (even tho we are the same age)

love,

Cassie

today...

So today I wrote a letter to my cousin Elder Matthew Kjar. Thats right he's an Elder. I went on line to this amazing website www.dearelder.com . This website is so cool they send letters for free to the MTC and you can send cookies or anything really (for a price) but I thought that was really cool. Who ever thought of this website I would like to thank them.

Well today I started and finish all my homework which I thought I was never going to finish. But I just decided that I was going to sit at my desk and not get distracted. Which my roommate Dana would vouch for and say that I get distracted by the littlest of things. If you only knew how long it takes me just to write on the blog, you would laugh.

Anyways, my teacher told me about this great program that you download off of the internet. And it is the amazing program that helps people, like me, who cant spell. Its like ten times better then spell check. So if you have children that have a hard time spelling I completely recommend it. Its free to download, and it's called ginger software. The website is called www.gingersoftware.com

I love it.

Well I am going to finish getting ready and go to Walmart, cause this girl needs some milk!

love ya,

Cassie

Michael Jackson, The Experience Wii Game!

So last Sunday was way fun! I had a great time at church and then after Dana and I went to my Aunt Di's house for dinner. And the whole gang was there: Aunt Di, Uncle Lance, Lu, Trent, and Mallory. Food was great and for desert Di bought some amazing cupcakes. Mine was strawberry shortcake. YUM!!!!!! But after dinner thats when the real fun happened. Lu and Trent got the new Michael Jackson game for the Wii. Lets just say it is the beat game ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to go and buy it so bad after I played it, but then I realized I didn't have a Wii. poor me. :( :(

This is the best game ever!!! Oh and did I get a work out from this!!!! Its so fun and your working out at the same time.

So after an hour and a half of being Michael, we decided to switch to Wii sports. And that was also fun. Lets just say I cant wait to play this game tonight!!!!

Love,

Cassie

what have i done all day????

well I woke up at 8am cause weight watchers meeting was at 8:45. I lost 2.4 pounds!!!! woot! woot! Can I just say doing weight watchers on a meal plan in college is HARD!!! but Im doing it. So what else did I do today????? well I have slept. actually I just woke up. I forced my self to wake up so I could sleep tonight. But trust me I want to go back to sleep! What am I going to do the rest of the day. I think some movie watching. I am a huge movie watcher, if you didn't know that. I love almost every movie!! but because I watch movies so much I'm starting to run out of movies that I just resonantly watched. i guess that means 5 dollar movies at Walmart will be calling my name next time I go to Walmart. Well I am going to go and watch "Just my luck" and "Sweet Home Alabama" two great chic flicks!!!

Today has been a great day cause I lost 2.4 pounds but also a boring day.

love ya,

Cassie

What to do with my life??? Mission?

So Im going to admit it. I haven't been the best mormon I could be. Like I was never called a molly mormon. And to tell you the truth I have only read the Book of Mormon once all the way thru. And that was when my amazing young woman leaders decided to have a Book of Mormon read-a-thon. And thank-you all so very much for that!!! I loved it and learned so much from it. But anyways. I have decided that I want and that the Lord wants me to go on a mission when I am 21 years old. And I have been really thinking about this.... How could Heavenly Father want me, Cassie Blake, to go on a mission. So I finally decided if the Lord asks I will do. But I am in no shape to go on a mission. Thank-goodness I have 2 more years to get my act together. So I have found out in my 18 years of my life that I cant just go head-on in a situation. I have to take it slow. And concur one thing at a time. So I sad to admit this, but I am working on prayer right now. Lets just say I really didn't pray before. But I am changing my life. After I have prayed every night and morning, and REALLY prayed, I will move on to reading the Book of Mormon everyday and then also praying. And then so on and so forth. I know it will be hard, but I know it is the right thing. And then when its time to go on my mission, where ever that my be, I will be ready to serve the Lord.

Oh I have also decided to take my 2 year interior design program slow, so that I will get done in 3 years. I am working on my 2 semester. And if my math is right I will be done a couple months after I turn 21. perfect timing!

just my thoughts for the day,

Love

Cassie

projects and drafting!

So our final project last semester in one of our classes we had to make a light out of nothing. We had to use all materials that wouldn't be normally used to make a light. So I decided to make a chandelier out of mason jars, I used all different sizes of mason jars. I don't know if you can tell but the last mason jar is this HUGE one. I got them from the DI (thats a thrift store out here). It has three levels and I frosted the jars and put the battery tee lights in the jars. and then I bought two small wreath forms and tied them together and then i hung everything else off of it. I used A LOT of wire and it is very heavy like 20 pounds heavy. I also used some chain and a huge hook.

Dana's light was so cool. I loved it!! She got plastic cups and zip-ties and some christmas lights and she made like the best light out of everyone.

Since I have been here, yesterday was the first day that I felt like a interior design student. Why? you may ask... well last night Dana and I had drafting. While walking to class we had to carry a drawing board, a t-square, and a starter kit.

Our class is from 6-9pm so when we are walking home t-squares come in handy for fighting off potential rapist. not saying that there is any but if the situation would come upon us we are ready!!! oh and our friend Sarah that walks with us, has pepper spray. So we are save.

So i need to get going I still have to get ready, finish homework, and i have work form 4-10pm kill me. but I need the money.

Love,

Cassie

Blogging???

So as you all know I have not been the beet blogger in the world the past couple of months. So as a new year resolution I have decided that I am going to write on my blog 5 times a week. And that Im not going to write on tuesdays and thursdays, cause thats when I have school. Well I must say that this wasn't all my idea. My english teacher told us that if we write in a journal or a blog for 5 days every week of the semester we will get extra credit. But I must say Im glad I am going to do it. Cause I love writing on my blog. So what has my life been like so far?!?!?!?!?!?

Well Anna and I had decided to not be roommates this semester. It was a hard decision but I know it was the right one. So I moved two floors down into Dana Hudson room. Weird fact about Dana and I, we went to EFY one year together and were put in the same group. So after EFY we added each other on Facebook and we didn't stay in contact. Until I posted on Facebook "I cant wait to go to LDSBC!" She saw this post and commented on it and we found out that we are going to the same college, majoring in the same thing, and living in the same place. Lets just say we have been best friends ever since we moved here. Can I say I love EFY and Facebook!!

Date report..... no comment.

And as of Saturday I have joined Weight Watchers. Lets Just say I am not happy with my weight right now and I now it is going to be hard as a college student but I can do it. And so far I have done great!!!

I am taking two religion classes and I love them both!! I am taking Pearl of Great Price and New Testament 1. I love my Pearl of Great Price class, my teacher I had last year for Mission Prep, and he is the best! My New Testament 1 class is way cool, our teacher is taking the New Testament and finding all of the characteristics of Jesus Christ. So its like its a learn who Jesus Christ is class. I love it!

Work is good. If you didn't know I work at Brighton Collectibles. It is a jewelry store, if you still don't know what it is when you see my mom the next time just look at her jewelry and I bet you a hundred dollars its from Brighton.

I have classes from 10am-9pm on tuesdays and 10am-7pm on thursdays. Some of you might say Im crazy but I really like it. Cause I have a bunch of time to do homework and I have a four day weekend every week. Oh and its great for work!

Well Im going to go, its getting late and I have school tomorrow.

Love,

Cassie
