Happppppy Birthday to my Bloggy-blog.

I have had my blog for one year! 

Crazy how fast the time has gone. 

And it is such a joy to go through 

my blog and see what has gone on

in the past year. 

My sister is such a gem, 

and for my Christmas present, 

made my blog into a book.

SO AWESOME!

It was so fun to look at!

Good job sis. 

You're the best. 

Meet Wesley!

The long awaited event of the semester happened last night. 

We finally 

RENTED A PUPPY!

Wesley definitely did not 

disappoint. 

He was crazy at first, 

but after a long game of 

Tug-of-war with Soph's sock, 

he was worn out and ready to sleep. 

Loved the night, and loved Wesley. 

We will definitely be doing this again soon. 

                            

Kode, Cacahuate, Koko Mocha, Kota, Need I say more?

Today's the day!

This girl is the big 2-0!

Best friends since elementary school,

gotten into tons of trouble together,

and have made

countless memories.

Remember how we said that we were

never going to seperate,

we were going to marry best friends,

and raise our kids together?

Who knows what the future

will hold,

but I do know that I can always count

on you.

You are an awesome friend,

and I will NEVER

forget all of the memories

of us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KODE!!!

                                                     

You are the BEST and I hope you have a rockin' birthday! 

Love you girl!!!

When it snows...

We take pictures. 

Why?

I have no clue. 

But, its fun.

And that is all that matters. 

P.S. Snow sucks. 

From the goodness of our hearts

You know when Finals week is approaching, and 

you will do 

anything

to not study?

Yup. Well that's how tonight went down.

Me and Mad Gab wanted to brighten some spirits.

So, we wrote some Christmas Cards 

to some guys in the ward.

We wrote a couple to guys who

are our legitimate friends. 

We put witty sayings such as:

"Don't be a dumbBELL, eat your vegetables!"

(the card had a bell on it...)

ingenious I know.

But, we wanted to have more fun with 

the cards. 

So we then proceeded to write love letters/cards

to other boys in the ward.

Things such as:

If I was your girlfriend...it started with a whisper...I'll fight for you nonsense.

and of course

we had to seal those suckers with a kiss.

Happy Holidays.

Miss Atomic Bomb

Saturday morning I woke up, and had no ounce of voice left in me.

And I was ecstatic.

WHY?

Because it proved I was a loyal fan.

A loyal fan to who you might ask?

Well, 

THE KILLERS

of course!

They were so kind to grace 

Provo with their presence this weekend. 

Seriously, best concert EVER.

Yes I did get goosebumps when Mr. Flowers walked onto the stage. 

Yes I was EXTREMELY jealous of any person who touched him.

Yes I want to quit school, and become an official Killers Groupie. (Without the promiscuity of course)

Yes I wish I could relive this night. over. and over.

Sister Tateoka you have been called to labor...

Soph got her call!

It seems like it has taken 

so long for her call to come.

And....it wasn't even my call. 

But..she has been called to 

labor in the 

Hawaii, Honolulu Mission!!!

AHH!

I love this girl!

She is one of my best friends

and will a frickin bomb 

missionary.

Such an awesome night!

I'm so happy for you girl!

You are going to be soooo great!

And you better send some Macadamia nuts my way...

Manti Te'o

Manti Te'o. Straight up stud. 

Not only because he is 

one of the best college 

football players right now, 

but because he knows 

what's up. 

He has his priorities 

in order. 

He has unshakable faith. 

And he is an awesome example. 

I found this video of him and 

shoot. dang. 

so 

awesome. 

If only he chose BYU....

It has come and gone.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone already?

I totally slacked off, 

and didn't even finish up my Thankful posts

so here we go. 

Day 22

Emotions. 

I am thankful for the emotions which I am able to feel.

Happiness is of course my favorite, 

but there are so many emotions which 

are powerful as well.

I am thankful that I am 

able to feel sadness

and disappointment. 

Without those feelings, 

I would not know the great 

enjoyment of joy or success.

As I did these thankful posts, 

I realized I have been so blessed in 

my life. 

It's so easy to overlook

all of the great things which we have in

each of our lives. 

Some days it was hard to find something 

that I was grateful for, 

and on a couple occasions 

I even asked my roommates to 

give me ideas on what I could say I 

was grateful for. 

Pathetic.

But, back to my train of thought....

ALWAYS be grateful, thankful, 

and full of Thanksgiving. 

November is not the only time 

of year in which we can share our 

thankfulness.

We need to always have an 

attitude 

of 

gratitude. 

Twenty One

Day 21

Memories. 

Today I was able to catch up with

one of my best friends, 

and talking about all the good times 

we used to have made me so 

thankful for the memories 

we were able to make, 

and the ability to be able to 

remember the good times.

The big 2-0.

Day 20

Home. 

It always feels so great to be home.

Free laundry. 

Free food. 

and SO much more. 

Coming home never gets old. 

Hey. I'm a slacker. Days 17,18,19

Day 17

Mint Green.

I'm digging this color so much right now.

Its so rad,

and is looking pretty sweet on my nails.

Perfect color.

Day 18

I am thankful for knowledge. 

The knowledge that I already have gained, 

and the knowledge which will come in the future.  

I'm thankful for the knowledge of my purpose in life.

This knowledge keeps me calm and peaceful.

Knowledge which I have is one 

of the main components to my happiness in life. 

Day 19

Circumstances.

I have an easy life.

I have a loving family,

the gospel of Jesus Christ, food, 

great friends, a car,

an opportunity to further my education.

The list goes on.

I take the simple things for granted.

But I am so very thankful for them

and the ease which they bring into my life.  

Dia de dieciséi.

Day 16

Time.

It's one of the most precious things we have.

One of my VERY best friends hits his one year mark 

TODAY for his LDS mission. 

Where has the time gone?!

But, that's why I'm so very thankful for time.

I look back to who I was when he left, and 

shoot. dang. 

Things have changed. 

And because of TIME, 

it's all been possible.

With time things are able to 

grow.

mature.

change.

blossom.

I am so very thankful for time 

and for the opportunities which 

it places in my life.  

See you in 365 Elder Miko
