I love my roomies!!

Well, I'm well into the semester and already taking midterms (weird!!) and I must say my roomies and I sure have a lot of fun!! First off, what do you get when you have 3 girls that are bored and a nice big pack of 97 cent temporary pirate tattoos??

A REALLY GOOD TIME!!!



I guess since Emily is allergic cats we shouldn't get one at our humble abode. That and we dont have the money for one . . . oh and my apartment wont allow them! Anyways, this is what happens to Emily when she is exposed to cats . . . I just love this picture. Kelli thinks she looks like Kwazemoto (however you spell it!)


Lastly we attended FHE tonight with our new "families" and everyone hated us . . . yes its sad!

We decided we're just the good times in the ward!

Other than that, my sweet nephews birthday is on Sunday so I'm coming home for that!

Oh and I'm uber stressed out about my degree but oh well . . .

Sorry it took so long to post a new blog . . . it's been a crazy time!

College Life!!


Wow, what a week it has been! I have officially completed my first week of college at Utah State University and I loved it. Some of the weeks highlights . . . . MY ROOMMATES! We have so much fun. It was Kelli's birthday yesterday and that was a party. So many fun times already. My roommate Ana is getting married in April so today was killed with wedding plans, we went wedding dress shopping and went to a flower store. Believe it or not, here in Logan there are THREE bridal stores. Crazy! Anyways, we found her THE dress.

It is SOOO beautiful! Her tiny little figure is so cute in it. I am so excited for her, she's such a sweetheart and kelli and I are sad we are losing her . . . but we still have 2 semesters.



Next, Ana's mother-in-law to be came with us and invited us to a . . . . . . DEAD GOAT PARTY! Now you may be wondering what that is, we were too. Turns out her husband bought a goat from a Vet (weird) and cooked it. We were invited to a party where we were supposed to eat a goat. Has anyone ever had goat?? I certainly had not and was very hesitant.





WARNING: STEPHANIE ROLLINS STOP READING NOW!!!


The goat when we were done with it

Ana's plate . . . No one liked it but me!

After we ate we had plenty of options for entertainment such as . . . .Jumping on the tramp with Kelli and Vanessa




or . . .

Go for a ride on the pond

or . . .

help Mads attempt to try up the boat



Or you could chill with me . . .


And Jackson!! He's such a sweeeeeetheart!!



I guess thats all for this blog! Oh one more thing! Kimmi's Wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!!! It was basically my last night living in Murray for a while.

Ian and I after the wedding.

CONGRATULATIONS KIMMI!!

Long time No blog

Yes, it is true I am still very much alive and kickin! I have NO idea where to start, so I guess I'll just ramble. Deal?

So you think you can dance came to an end, but with that came the revival of my social life.
It came down to Katee, Courtney, Joshua, and Twitch. I am not going to lie when I say that I was disappointed that Joshua won, although he was my second pick. I REALLY wanted Katee to win because she is AMAZING and so cute. But my sadness was reversed quickly when I realized that NEIL my all time favorite dancer appeared on the finale for a reunion dance. Did I mention how much I LOVE him? Too bad he's probably gay.

For those of you unaware, I have officially changed my major. Now comes the interesting part . . . I have gone from a TOTAL art degree to a TOTAL science degree. I am no longer a Art Historian but now a Animal Science-ian. As a result I can no longer study at the University of Utah and have transferred to Utah State University. I will try to hold back the invisible tears. If you didn't catch that sarcasm I am telling you now it was sarcastic. I HATED the U with all my heart and hope this new experience will not be as wretched. Good news moment: I am moving to Logan on Wednesday, yes this coming Wednesday people. I am so broke I could break down and cry at any moment but it should be fun!! I will be living with one of my very best friends since 7th grade and if any of you are wondering, which I'm sure you aren't, I will now post a sure to be fabulous picture of her.

Isn't she a doll! Come on boys, her boyfriend of 4 years just left on a mission . . .

Next I guess I should tell you all about the NEW adventures of the unemployed. I am officially unemployed and hating every second of it!! I gave my 2 weeks with enough time to have my last day be August 9th, well some things came up and the managers decided to just let me go a week early. Needless to say, I was counting on that extra weeks pay but I guess I'll just have to live with it.

I guess the most important thing about this blog is to tell you the adventure of a little place we call Disneyland. Ian and I went to Disneyland this week and we SUCCESSFULLY did Disneyland in a day! If anyone wants our itinerary you may consult me later. We not only successfully did it, but we still had time to shop, go to California Adventure, eat at Rainforest Cafe, ride a few rides multiple times (Ian rode Space mountain THREE times, twice with me and once with my mom), and we left an hour before they closed. The next day we headed off to Knott's Berry Farm and rode some wicked awesome rides there. KBF has a new ride that you ride like you are riding a horse. NO JOKE!! You side on it like you would a horse and 2 bars keep your legs there and a big heavy bar comes up and rests on your back, keeping you in place. It was SOOO fun! unlike anything I've EVER rode. We may have rode this one twice . . . That one was fun, but The XCelerator was more fun!! It goes from 0 to 80 MPH is some crazy time like 2.3 seconds. It was AWESOME!!!! Imagine Wicked from Lagoon but 10x the speed and height. After a few train rides, shopping, a photo booth visit and more roller coasters we had lunch. We ate at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. It was delish! With the best berry punch I've ever had! Believe it or not, even better than Kool-Aid! It was Boysenberry punch and I want more. If anyone goes back, they sell the concentrate at the berry store for 6 dollars I promise I will scrape up 6 bucks so I can pay you back! And maybe a tip too!! Thanks a bunch!! After all was said and done, the longest line we waited in both days was 45 minutes, and both rides were worth it . . . . They were Nemo at Disneyland and Ghost Rider at KBF. LOTS of fun!! Here are the pics!

Buzz Lightyear Ride, points TOTALLY aren't important!

Ian in front of the Castle . . . notice our LAME matching outfits (his idea!!)

Doesn't he look nervous next to those women? I think its the nerd in him.

Me very interested in the pre-recorded info on the Liberty Bell

Inside the front gates at KNB. In case you can't tell, the people on top are dancing.


After a LONG two days we are both sunburnt and very ready for the flight home.

LETS GO BACK!!

Lastly, before I depart, My beloved cousin but most of all my friend is getting married next week. I threw her a friend shower today and we had a lot of fun! I am so excited for her and the upcoming wedding! I am happy I have gotten to play such a large part in the planning process.



I LOVE YOU KIMMI!!



Here are some pictures of the event!


The woman of the hour (and a half)

No words required!

So many of you wonder why I love animals SOOOO much.
I'll let this video do the explaining.


Moral of the story: I CANNOT wait until I am done with school and able to help the creatures that have brought me so much happiness.

Jensen Family Games



Seriously? Has anyone played this glorious game? If you have played Scum, you have been ripped off. The Great Dalmuti is the ORIGINAL Scum, and ten million times better too!!

This is one of the many games the Jensen household plays on a regular basis. I personally have no strategy, whatsoever, but it seems to be working. Last time I was never The Great Dalmuti, however I was never the Greater Peon either! I was usually but a middle-class merchant.

If anyone wants to play a game, just let me know. Ian and I will GLADLY play, although Ian does get extremely competitive. Of course, I NEVER get competitive!!

Much Ado About Nothing


I love dog sitting. I love having the place to myself, but sometimes it doesn't quite work out. Take right now for example. I have to teach my primary class tomorrow, so trying to be the cool teacher I always wished I had I am planning a craft. Curently there is tan material laying on the floor in the family room. I was bored so I sat up on the couch and I look down to see sweet Scout rubbing her flat pug nose in the nicely, no-longer flat material.

Oh and then last night, get this. Mads was over and she left at like midnight when HGTV was getting slightly lame. While she was here I checked all the doors to make sure they were locked and then I walked her out. I had just turned on the alarm when she called. The conversation went something like this:

M: "Hey, don't forget to lock all your doors tonight, okay?"

K: "Okay, I checked before you left. Why whats up?"

M: "Well as I was leaving the neighborhood and there were like 3 cop cars with their lights all on and stuff."

K: "Oh, hmmm that's weird."

M: "Yeah, and then as I was driving away I wa looking down all the streets by the house and there were cop cars all over with their lights all on and they had the dogs out and they were pulling people over and all that."

K: "Well, great. Good thing I have an alarm, right?"

M: "Yeah, just dont forget to lock your doors."

HOW FREAKY IS THAT? And then, Ian wanted me to go see The Awakening tonight . . . Yeah right!



Who knew you could find jeans that fit a white girl ghetto booty?? And those of you who DID know, I am forever upset you didn't tell me. Gap is my new favorite place for jeans. I am so used to pay $100 - $200 for jeans becase this booty is SO hard to fit and here these God-sent jeans are sitting on the sale rack for $34.95. (not even joking) I OFFICIALLY love having jeans that give my assets room to breathe.


Is it weird that I got called to Primary? Does anyone else feel as though God is playing a joke? I'm pretty sure that he knows I don't especially LIKE children. Maybe that is the whole funny part? OR maybe God is trying to prove that I DO have patience. As Ian says "You can believe what you want, but that doesn't change the facts" BASICALLY, there isn't any patience there.


What is this new rumor about the world ending in like 2012 or something? Something about othe Aztec calendar or something being at exactly 0 then? Interesting, I always thought that I would get to spend more than a year out of college.

As I sit here watching the beloved HGTV(HD, thats right) I wonder, why would divine design do a room in all metallics? ODD . . .

Perhaps I should get back to my primary project. Does anyone else think giving 6 year old children markers while they are in their nice church clothes is a BAD idea? Yeah, maybe I'll get released after my first lesson. PLAN!
