We tried something new.

We were bored.

I wanted to take pictures of the lightening.

It didn't work out.

I asked Tam to do something cool.

This is what she came up with.

You see we've been kinda obsessed with the Lord of the Rings lately.

I guess thats what happens when you watch all of the extended versions and eagerly awaiting The Hobbit.

I prayed for a social experience.
I was hoping one with a good looking guy.
Tam has class after institute. I don't.
I decided to hang in the institute building this time around to waste a little time.
So get this, I'm sittin' on the couch watching the CES fireside and one of the institute teachers comes up to me. I had my earphones in. She motioned to her ears and mouths "can you hear me?"
hahahaha i don't know why i still think thats so funny but i do.
I paused my spiritual moment and said yes.
She started to tell me about her dating and courtship class and how she has like 20 boys and only 10 girls.
She proceeded to tell me about how she was doing speed dating for her lesson.
Clever Heavenly Father.
I excepted her request.
It was fun to say the least.
i thought one boy was cute until i stood up and realized he was 4 inches short than i was.
nothing against short men. in fact they should marry tall women so they can balance out the next generation.
haha i kill myself.
The best part was after class one of the boys came up to me and started talking about something completely random. Asking questions like I knew the answer.
Shortly after seeing my blank face he realized that he had mistaken me for another girl he had talked to.
To put it lightly he was embarrassed and walked away.
i would be to. i would be to.

Because..

Tambam and I were asked by our delightful institute instructor to sing in our class.

Both of us were quite nervous; we hate singing in front of an audience.

I told him "No", he's very persuasive.

So we did, and I didn't squeak. 

After our performance, Brother Eggett gets up and says,

"That was simply beautiful. These girls are the greatest examples of the 'For the Strength of Youth'. You will not find girls more virtuous then these two."

I guess he sees something I don't, but it made my day.

The best compliment of my life. Seriously. 

Don't tell me I have nice hair, tell me I'm virtuous, because that's what matters.

Not to brag about my institute class but it rocks!

I've started this new thing. I'm signing my Oil Paintings with Kimbim.

It will be famous.

I need to start a drawing. It's due tomorrow and I don't have anything to draw. 

Help me. Send me a picture of yourself, or someone awesome.

One, I repeat one person in the photo please.

Who ever comments and emails their picture, gets to have a drawing done by me, kimbim.
 there will be one winner, I will pick tonight.

Ooooo big deal. I know.

email is kimcraven.nz(at)gmail(dot)com

This is kind of exciting. Maybe I'll do another sometime in the near future.

Tyler said in his prayers tonight

We have a goal. 

To get married in the Provo Temple to righteous men.

this is gonna be a good life.

Today I saw someone.

I think I like him.

He won't say hi to me.

We're both intimidated.

It's Ironman used to be Z-squeeze.

Remember him?

Yeah we did the look-at-each-other-but-don't-say-anything-sly-smile-smerk-look-because-you've-been chatting-on-FB-and-haven't-talked-to-each-othe-in-three-years-so-keep-walking-keep-walking.

What dorks.

He saw me at my finest; early morning, tired, bed head, hat.
Do you think he could tell which one was which?

My facebook has been officially disabled after conference and the wise talks given.

I'll get is back in a month. 

Goodness. Gracious.

Yesterday I attended school.

Then we went and did baptisms for the dead while the parentals did sealings.

Got dressed after baptisms and my dress rips all the way up the side. Beautiful.

I had to wear my tank on the outside.

Fashion sense? No.

I died.

Next week I'm gonna where something called a "Safe Dress" aka Stretchy.

Good plan yeah?

I started sketching out myself. I'm so vain. I can't wait to finish.

I Love Sundays!

Oh well Hello ladies...Can you say scripture power?

I love Sundays! Not only because I get to dress up, but because of the spirit that comes with it.

I know we don't look anything alike now days. Miss Tam with her short hair, and I with my long nappy hair.

The cut will soon occur, maybe in July...August, okay lets say September.

Who knows  maybe one day I'll wake up and chop it myself.

One day a little girl will get my hair, one day.

Awkward story of the week:

So the little store that I work at, called Creativity, held a birthday party for a sweet 12 year old girl. Seven girls in attendence. While these girls were painting there little hearts away I was caught in a day dream & not a delightful one. I was imagining the worst thing that could possibly happen to me at work. I came up with someone releasing all of the contents in there stomach out onto the floor...puking, if you darling people don't understand what I'm trying to say. Let's just say not a heavenly sight. Exiting out of my day dream I noticed that one of the seven girls wasn't lookin' to good. She got up and walked her little booty over to the sink and just stood there. Why would she be standing there? I thought, what is she doing? I thought. 5 minutes or so passed by and this young lady was still leaning over the sink. I yelled "If your gonna puke please enter your contents out into the toilet where it will be an easy flush, not in the sink, I'm begging you missy!" inside my head, of course. Then it happened a projection of nastiness, in the sink. Yummy...Life is bliss. Let's just say I did a lot of disinfecting, you mothers out there would be proud.

PS the comments on my blog have been replace...Blogger you have earned a little place in my heart once again.
