KRISTY ANDERSON IS AWESOME!!

So yes I did forget about a certain person this week...
Maybe cause she got engaged and is basically going to be ditching me from here on out, I blocked her out of my mind... haha
We went and saw Paranormal Activity... SUPER SCARY!!! LOVED IT!! and yes it is rated R, but I had my reasons for going... so whateve
We also were going to go to the Haunted Hollow with Kase. After DAYS of trying to get every available to go on the same day... we finally did it! So while waiting for Kristy to get in my car I just happened to read the little coupon I got... And what did it say you might ask... Oh just that they were NOT OPEN..... YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! So we didnt tell Kase cause she probably would have bailed on us... but maybe not... but instead we just met her at Chilis and had a good dinner.. then told her. Just had to laugh about it.... Good Times... Im kinda disappointed and saddened that we werent able to go this year.. I was really excited.. But lame-o Kristy got engaged and is now "busy" but whateve
But yeah speaking of Kristy I also completely forgot about my very interesting day up in Smithfield...
So here is a list of different things that happened..
-Locked keys in car... first time I have ever done that
-Made Hil call locksmith... Luckily her hubby knew a guy!
-85 yr old locksmith named BUDD, chewed me out for standing in the cold waiting for him
-Super funny guy!
-Made me go to his business (aka his house) so he could make me another key
-I had to leave in the middle of Kristys bridal shower cause the guy said "NOW"
-Waited outside for him while he was making my key in his "basement"
-Budd yelled at me for being outside.. made me sit in my car without my keys
-Budd made me two keys and I sat in my car and stared at my locks while he "fiddled" with them
-Asked Budd how much I owed him.. He said 5... I said can I write a check (I know I dont carry cash on me okay!) He said No.. Forget it! So I offered him soup and bread and he said no I already have food!
-Had THE best night with Budd... Good ol funny Budd
So this post is dedicated to KRISTY... Sorry I forgot

Must See Movies

So I thought I had posted this post a loooong time ago but apparently I forgot to and now I know why nobody responded to it! So here it is.
Alright this has been bugging me

Awhile back I had a disturbing conversation with one of my friends. She said she had never seen The Wizard of Oz.... Now I dont know about you and your family but that is a crime in mine. So this had me thinking...

1-Who else hasnt seen this classic movie??

2-What other movies are people missing out on??

So to answer number two I am going to list some of my favorite unknown or little to unknown movies that are must see!!!

-East of Eden/Rebel Without A Cause/Giant

James Deans three movies. Great stories. At least watch one of them to be my friend.

-Singin In the Rain

You kinda have to like musicals cause there is alot of singing and dancing. But its a really funny comedic show. And Gene Kelly is super adorable and dances amazingly!

-Robin Hood and the Prince of Thieves

Super GOOD! Nothing more needs to be said. Even though its a pretty famous movie and was nominated for awards. Not very many people I know have seen it. Maybe cause Im a youngin.

-August Rush/Waitress

Two of Keri Russells finest works. Waitress is kinda darkish but not. Shes pregnant and married to a terrible guy and she makes pies. But its quirky and funny.

-Lars and the Real Girl

ADORABLE! A super awkward guy gets a doll online and tells everyone its his girl friend. But its really about this great town to takes in the "doll" as one of their own to make the guy feel better. Its hard to explain but another quirky cute show! It has Ryan Gosling in it too....

-Stranger Than Fiction

I think this is Will Ferrel best movie, well one of them. He isnt his usual self just a normal boring guy. And something happends and his life becomes this writers story. Its not a laugh out loud comedy but its funny. Even has a little romance.

Catchin Up....

So the last week or so has been pretty interesting. My friend from high school's wife died. And it sucked. I cant imagine that happening to me or my spouse or anyone and I hate that it happened. I know people say well they are in a better place now... but what about the ones left behind. I hate that it happened to this person. He is one of the strongest people that I know and I know that if it happened to anyone He could deal with it. Even though it probably is THE hardest thing in the entire world right know. But even reading his status updates on his facebook you can tell, he is trying to dealing. He is so strong in the Gospel and the whole families can be together again. And ugh it still gets to me. I could not stop thinking about it for awhile and it just made me so so sad.
So I cant even imagine.
Okay Im done venting.
So updates:
-Went to Manti to Ashley aka Salmon Sweaters farewell... now that shes gone Ive lost half of my readers haha. But yeah way good talk... Shes been out almost a week. Shes learner her some spanish!
-Did a little thing... FINISHED SCHOOL! BOOYAH!! finish. fin. done. bada bing!
-Started a quilt and now that Im done with school I have a lot of time to finish it.
-Started plans for a trip to Cali!!!!
-Found out that while in Cali, we will be super close to where James Dean died... so FIELD TRIP!
-Went into mourning after the Cardinals got slammed in the first round of playoffs
But yeah thats about it... So ta ta

No Permanent Parting

"There was sorrow, deep and poignant and tragic. But shining through their tears was a faith beautiful and certain that as surely as there was now a sorrowful separation, there would someday be a glad reunion, for that marriage had begun with a sealing for time and eternity in the house of the Lord, under the authority of the holy priesthood." -Gordon B. Hinckley

"Death, which faces all of us, is not the end. There is the ever-present expectancy of death, but in reality there is no death—no permanent parting." -Ezra Taft Benson

Whats New?

Whats new with Jacki you might ask..... Well let me catch you up
It was my dads 46th birthday last Sunday so we partied like.... 10 year olds!

We went to the circus, played laser tag, mini golfed, and go karted, oh and hit a SpongeBob pinata.

The birthday boy and his autograph book!



The best part of the circus were defiantly the elephants! They are adorable!


All of us right after the circus... I admit I was happy to be done! Those ESA seats are NOT comfortable!

SpongeBob and the birthday boy!


It was actually really fun slash weird but fun!

I went to see 500 Days of Summer finally! I went with Kar and Aims and after finding a non squeaky chair... which was hard (even though we had the entire theater to ourselves) we finally picked one and enjoyed the movie.

I went on a blind date. We played racket ball, made pizza, played marioKart on the Wii, and watched Monsters vs Aliens.

IM ALMOST DONE WITH SCHOOL... Im talking about if I wasnt blogging right now I probably would be finished already, but that wouldnt be fun. BUT IM ALMOST DONE!

Hit a raccoon with my week old car.

Cried about hitting a raccoon with my week old car.
Got a new bumper for my week old car after hitting a raccoon.

We had one of Dans companions come visit us. His name is Jeff Dove and hes from Cali but hes going to school in SLC. Dan was his last companion before he left. It was good to hear some stories about him. I dont know if any of you remember the story of Dan getting robbed. But Jeff was there when it happened so he let us in on the details! Pretty intense


So yeah I cant think of much else. Work is going good although Ive had to ref a lot of flag football games in the rain and snow. And I think its finally getting to me I havent been feeling to great. But its almost done! And I cant wait! Flag football is my least favorite to ref slash score keep.
But yeah HALLOWEEN IS UPON US! This is my favorite time of year October!!! We got some of our decorations out. But usually me and Kar go crazy with the outdoor decorations so you'll have to stay tuned for some of those pictures or just come by cause Im pretty sure Ill be home!
Anyways I guess I better be getting some homework done so I can finally be done with school!
HAPPY FALL!!
