ps, these guys are my hero's

STUCK from Joe Ayala on Vimeo.



these two guys were stuck at the airport late at night alone... they documented their adventures and made this hilarious video.

Lets just say... going crazy at an airport late at night is now on my bucket list :)

"What am I supposed to do without my cellll phooone!"

Name that movie!!! But really, name it. Big props to anyone who can.

So lately, aka these past 3 days... I have been on the phone a lot for work. Calling all the licensing and contracting boards for basically every state in the world... err... United States. And honestly at first, I was shaking on the phone I was so scared. Seriously, shaking. And if it went to the voicemail I would just hang up. And I would avoid calling these states like the plague. I would do everything else I had to do at work before ever calling anyone. BUT guess what homies!! I am not afriad! I actually enjoy it. Pretty much everyone I talk to on the phone is just so nice and willing to help. They are not intimidating so I don't get scared. Well... and if there was an option to call a guy instead a girl, I called the girl :) Sexist? Probabaly. But I'm okay withi it. So basically I enjoy talking to nice people that I have never met with a cool accent on the phone. Seriosly, I just called like Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and all those states and all the ladies I talked to had southern accents. It was amazing and I loved it. **ps... I just got off the phone with some lady in Florida, Oh, Betty... and people are so nice there! Seriously, I could move there. Yep.


Anyway, moral of the story is that I am not afraid of calling people for work any more! It's fun, and I like it even though sometimes I am bad at speaking in professional businessy words... but that's okay right?!


I did that today :)
:::

 Also, I pretty much love getting voicemails too... but mostly just funny ones from friends. They're definitely 5amilliontimes better than a text message if youre askin' me... :)


PS...


andddd calling strangers on the telephone :)

Just a shot in the dark...

that you might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life.



.....


Don't tell me that no one else feels this way... Because seriously this is how I feel. And sometimes I just wish I knew what I would be doing and where I will be in 2 years. 2 years! Will I still be at BYU? On a misison? Marriaged?

Who Knows....

P.S.

Tomorrow is Friday!! Which means... the next day is SATURDAY!!! Which meansss.... JEROD IS GETTING BAPTISED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoooooo!!

Seriously, I am so happy.

PPS... I just realized you probably don't know who Jerod is. Well, that is a post in the making :)

You GUYS!!!

OY!!! GUESS WHAT?!

I just did something right! Something great!! Something AMAZING!!! Okay, not really... but really!!
I am excited.

Because at work I get bored. And at work I am *gasp* afraid of making phone calls in fear of screwing things up. And at work this project I have been working on has been getting pretty complicated because some people that don't work here anymore were inconsistant and it is frustrating!
Anyway, moral of the story. I fixed something. Made something all better. Made Telgian look like a more responsible company.
AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!

Seriously though.

This minute made these last 2 boring and stressful hours of work worth it! Maybe... but now it's back to work. Because I still have 49 states to call... gah!

ps...

puppy love

I hate it when weekends end. I mean for reals, when my alarm went off this morning I was so confused because I was convinced that this weekend needed to be longer.
Anywho. This weekend was seriously, CRAZY.

It consisted of
3 wedding receptions. Talk writting. Tara having a seizure. Giving a talk. Saying goodbye to Josh Richards for 2 years. An INCREDIBLE fireside. and nertz.
Pretty crazy weekend I'd say.

But the fireside I went to last night was seriously AMAZING. No lie. A choir of Polynesians came all the way from LA to sing to us. And oh myyy goodness. I am in love with all of them. They had so much power and incredible songs and voices. Wow. My cheecks were hurting from smiling for so long. I am ohh so glad we sat in the first row :)

And last night I got to play with the Bodrero's cute poppy Bo. Seirously, he is adorable. And I'm convinced that if some random dude asked me to marry him with a puppy there is no way I could say no. Puppies are the best. Oh man.

PS. Don't judge the camera phone quality of this picture...

But, i don't think I love puppies nearly as much as this chick loves cats.

Seriously, watch this. It's so worth the 2 minutes and 34 seconds of your life that you won't get back.
Bahahaha.... this girl is a crack up.

PS, Happy monday!! Today has been an unusally good monday for me so far :)

I'm not nervous... what?

I am speaking in church today. I am nervous beyond all belief. I am nervous that I will make a fool out of my self and speak fast and say really embarrassing things and phrases. I don't speak well or make sense in every day life let alone in public in front of like 5 million people.. And my tummy is all nervous inside. I have been trying really hard to convince myself that I am not nervous and that I am going to be amazing, but who am I kidding!! I just.. I just... am scared.
But oh well. I just need to get it over with.
And, I may or may not have just finished my talk... uhh... yeah. That adds to my nervousness.
AND my talk is bullet pointed. Not written out for me to say exactly what I want to. That means there is lots of room and places for me to screw up.

OY!

Okay.
I AM GOING TO DO SO GREAT!!! And plus, In 80 years, I will not even remember this. So hakuna matata. Calm it down Rachel.

The end.


... ps, thanks for hearing me out.
I needed that...

Werk

So here is the deal. I am on the computer all day erry day at work. Which results in me blogging at work and not at home. I know, I am a horrible person for bloggin instead of working... Except not really because it takes me a grand total of like 5 minutes to post something. Yes, should take my time and proof read and you know, care about how well I am writting and things, but I don't/kinda do/don't...

Wait, why am I saying this. I forget.

OH! Okay,  moral of me rambling on and on about how I blog at work....

Because of the fact that I blog at work, I can't ever put pictures up of my life because those are on my lapytop at home. The End :)

Whew! That was tough. Rambling should be my profession. I pretty much rock at it.

ALSO. I'm thinking... I'm diggin my new blog title. Your thoughts??

Well here are mine... Me gusta because, A) When I want to say story of my life, I feel weird beacuse it's like I already said it, in the title of me bloggy. And It's kinda not very original or different or special. Kinda blah. So I changed it to PS because I like it. And mostly because my brothers (especially Ryan) mock me all the time for saying PS before I say things :) So it's funny for me. And I like it. And it is my blog so that is all that matters right? Right.

Okay here: this will help up the boring factor of this post.

***
ps, why are mustaches "the thing" these days?
I'm not really into guys growing them.. and well sure they are funny for people to wear fake ones...
but what the? Mustaches? Is that really going to be one of the fads of our generation? Allllright....

So I decided in order to make my blog in with the crowd I must(ache) ha, follow the crowd
and put something or other mustache related in here somewhere :)

P.S... At work sometimes people put food on the table in the kitchen that they want to get rid of or want to share or something. Sometimes there is a bag full of day old pizza pretzels, or a box of pastry donuts, maybe a bag of apricots. But today there were 3 boxes of Girl Scout cookies!!! Seriously, best day ever. But the question is, who would ever want to get rid of Girl Scout Cookies?!? I would understand those sicknasty kinds... but Samoas and Thin mints basically rock my world.

Whatever, I'm okay with it.

tonight, tonight!

Happy Thursday all!
There is something about Thursdays that I just like. Myabe it's because tomorrow is Friday which means on thing. WEEKEND! I love the weekend. You know what else I love? Les Miserables and Jean Valjeans amazing voice. Seriously, thanks moms for taking me. It was incredible. Also, finally pictures from the ward trip are up. I love them all soooo a picture post is coming soon :)

Also, my life is so great. I love it. Excepts I seriously wish Tara felt better... you know she doesn't feel good when she can only make it through one Cupcake Wars episode with me.

P.S... story of my life? Yep

incredible.

I'min love with the sky. Always. And this video just made me even more obsessed.
Oh my.

There are no words.

and I won't let you go...

I may or may not have been typing along to the best song ever whillist putting that title up there. Cause I will stand by you... I will fight your fight. I will hold you tight. PS, future husband. Sing this to  me? Okay great.

But lets talk about my week/weekend/amazing life. Kay? Kay.

Firstly, Monday was memorial day and awesome and I didn't have to go to work on Monday, I would definitely say it was only the longest work week ever. And I even took off half of Friday to go to a cabin with my singles ward. What? I don't want to be a professional scanner/engineering laws researcher for the rest of my life? Weird. Thank goodness this summer job is teaching me that I need to find sometihng I love and an education is awesome. Because not having an education = boring jobs. BUT I do appreciate the opportunity and am just grateful that I have a full time job. It is actually such a blessing. ANYWAY. Lets go back to the part where I took off work early on Friday because and THAT is where my life gets so great.

Some of us in the ward went up to Paysonish area for the weekend. It was great to get away and have nice weather, good company, and get to know people in the ward. Me and Lynz basically hung out with Josh and Derek the whole time and these two guys are goofs. But in only the greatest way of course. We had a blast together. We took way to many pictures, laughed too much and stayed up late. It was fantastic and I am pretty sure that I am glad that we are now friends :)

Also, I need to post the coolpix we took. Because they are some cool...pics. Ha. And Derek has an awesome camera. So those pictures will be on as soon and Derek puts those pictures on facebook so I can steal them! Theif

But this weekend was good.
Last night the family had a big yummy steak dinner for Travis because he is leaving on Tuesday for pretty much forever. He is going to North Carolina to get trained for Teach for America. It will be an awesome experience of course, but I am sure going to miss him. I loved having him up at the BYU with me all last year and now he will be all the way accross the country! Sad. And suuure I will see him over Christmas and for at Lake Powell this summer, but North Carolina just seems so far away. Oh well, I'm sure my over-achiever/super smart older brother will have the time of his life.

REAL Salt Lake game. I feel like we actually look like siblings in this picture :)

Got his degree in Chemical Engineering. What a smartie.

Anywho. Expect a detailed post about my weekend soon (hopefully...) And wish my awesome big brother luck while he adventures in the ghettos of North Carolina.
