Time to vent.

I'm kinda sad that I stopped blogging for such a long time. But alas, here I am (:

I just want to say, people need to stick to their word. Don't tell me you're going to do something, just to blow me off. If you say you're going to be ready at 8:30, I'm expecting you to be ready at 8:30. If you tell me we're going to hang out, that's what I'm looking forward to.

The Bachelorette: If you're going to decide to come on at 7 instead of 8 randomly, LET ME KNOW! Darn-it.

What an eventful -begining of summer- I've had (:

New roommates, new adventures, new (almost) brother-in-law. He only has 8 MONTHS LEFT!! Which yes, the past 16 months have gone by pretty fast, and most of you would say "HOLY CRAP!! THAT'S SO SOON THAT HE'S COMING HOME!" But let me just tell you.. IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!! He likes to say that I'm the trunkee-est person he's ever met.. haha but I'd rather it be me than him.

Jumping to another situation.. and yes it's okay that I'm doing this.. How do you get a boy to like you that seems to just look past you? And why the freak are there no guys in Provo that have enough balls to ask me out? (Pardon my language.) I'm quite sick of it. No, maybe we're not going to get married, but don't you even want to start to get to know me? Even a little bit? Am I honestly that weird that you won't even take a few hours to try and get to know me? ALSO, why the heck do guys here feel it appropriate to swear and watch rated R movies?!?!? Do they not realize that it's SUPER SUPER unattractive when they do said things?

It's 1:04am, and I have to be at work at 8:30.. can someone tell me why I'm awake right now? *I just remembered.. It's because I took a 3 and a half hour nap today... STUPID!*

I just watched Armored, and I heard it was going to be so intense and I probably shouldn't watch it alone. So I've had it for almost 2 weeks now (via Netflix) waiting for someone to watch it with me, and when that failed, I finally watched it by myself today. And, honestly, it wasn't even that good. Okay, that's a little harsh. It was good, I just think I was expecting more? And it was only an hour and a half long! So short!

The Last Song is in the dollar theater now (:

I'M GOING TO THE BACKSTREET BOYS CONCERT ON JUNE 23RD!! And not that I'm counting or anything, but that's in 10 days!!!

John Mayer is on August 31st.

AUGUST 16TH WILL BE 3 YEARS SINCE DAY 1 WITH HIM!!

I'm an avid watcher of the Bachelor / Bachelorette since last season with Jake, and it's on again tomorrow, AND I'M SO EXCITED!

Megan and I went to a Real Salt Lake game last week, and we had STELLAR seats!! 7 rows back, to the right, of one of the goals!! And soccer players are little babies. Entertaining to watch, but really, grow up and get up.

I'm all over the place with this post. All in all, I'm having the time of my life here in Provo. I'm so happy with how things are turning out, and how the future is going to get even better!

Love, Shaylin.

I love shoes.

I have glasses now!

Cute little Manini (: Jonathan and I are proud parents!!

Yes, that's easter egg dye on my face.. It was a dare! And I got three bags of Jelly beans from it!

The Oh-So-Wonderful color festival!

I have a scooter.

I love Holly and Carly

I'm sorry to admit it, but I've put on a few extra pounds :/

I've bought 2 pairs of Toms.. and I love them (:

My life lately

I can't believe I haven't even said anything about my new laptop!! I've obviously been needing one for some time now, especially since I'm planning on going to school again this summer, and I don't want to keep borrowing Kaylee's! So I did my taxes and decided to use all of that money plus whatever else it took to get me one! And I decided that if I was going to spend a large amount on a laptop, I might as well get the best! So MacBook Pro it was! I got my taxes back on a Friday, and on Saturday we went to Salt Lake and bought it!! It ended up being close to $2000!!!! I know, expensive. Freaking expensive. I used to have a pretty decent savings, but not anymore! I'm BROKE!! STILL! But I love it! It's so cute, perfect size, AND IT'S MY OWN!! My very own!! So, here are some pictures!

New Pictures!

My good friend Megan took some pictures of me the other day, so go ahead and take a look at her blog and check them out!!

I'm living the life!

I just need to brag about my awesomely amazing "fan-crappin-tastic"* day I had today!! Woke up at 7:50, got myself woken up for WATER AEROBICS with Megan Marapodi from 8:30-9:30. Came home, got a little bit ready, and went apartment decoration shopping with Kaylee at Tai Pan Trading, (while doing some apartment shopping, I also bought thee cutest purse in the world) put up the decorations, ate spaghetti and french bread while watching Wayne's World.. Fell asleep for like 20 minutes. Then I woke up and got ready, Megan came over and we went to the Timpanogos Temple, came home and showered (much needed) and then went to Megan's and watched Post Grad and While You Were Sleeping!!!! I LOVE THOSE MOVIES!! I have the most awesome people in my life!

That's all (: Goodnight.

*It's from Post Grad. And is now my favorite conjunction in the world.

I've forgotten..

I can't remember hardly anything anymore. It's been 11 months and 24 days since I've seen him, and I can't even remember what it feels like when he holds my hand, brushes my hair out of my face, kisses my forehead, or even just to have him sitting next to me in the Draper Temple, not being able to touch me because he was already set apart as a missionary. I can't remember it at all! It's as if he was just a dream.. AND I HATE THAT!! I spent so much time with him, and to have it all be so foreign to me absolutely breaks my heart. I'm trying to keep myself occupied to make time go by faster, but time just keeps on crawling. It's going to get better (: It will, I know it.. It just has to..

I'm sick, and it sucks.

There's nothing worse than waking up at 6:30am knowing you're about to throw up. And knowing there's nothing you can do to avoid it. I took the day off from work (good thing, cause I threw up 2 more times) and I've been laying in bed all night. I was able to watch some of the TV shows that I needed to get caught up on, but I'm sick of it now. And I really need to be sleeping right now, but blogging just sounded so much better? I'm not going into work tomorrow, but hopefully I'll be able to re-coop and get myself together for Friday so that I'll at least get 2 days of work in this week! Jeeze Louise! Your prayers wouldn't hurt... Well, Franklin and I are calling it a day. Hopefully I can sleep better than I have been all day.

Hmm..

I'm feeling very inspired right now.. to cook, to create, to write a blog post.. so many things!! I think it's because I just watched Julie&Julia again tonight with Holly and Kaylee.. That is such a good movie!! Unfortunately, Kaylee is not going to let me stay on the computer very long, because she's tired and wants to fall asleep to a movie. Speaking of computers though, I have decided that it's about time that I look into buying a laptop of my own (: So keep your eyes open for any good deals for me!

December21?

I can't believe it's already the 21st of December. Where has the time gone?! I'm so excited to be going home in 1 and a half days!!! Being in Washington for Thanksgiving AND Christmas this year.. man, I'm lucky (: And at 11:00 on Christmas day, I GET TO TALK TO JONATHAN!!!!!!!! And he sent my Christmas package there, so I get to open that when I'm there too!! This trip will be so much fun, I CAN'T WAIT!!!

And here are some of the pictures that I sent to Elder Kamae <3
(P.S., I MADE those yellow elephant PJ's for him!! :)

What!? Is this a new post!??!?!!!??

Why yes.. yes it is!! And honestly.. nothing had really happened in the past two and a half months.. other than just working 8 to 4 every day at good ol' Pizza Pie Cafe! And I love it!! I'm always doing something, and I absolutely LOVE everyone that I work with!!

Also, JONATHAN HAS ALREADY BEEN OUT FOR 10 MONTHS TODAY!!! TEN FREAKING MONTHS!!!!! I can't believe how fast it's gone so far! I sent out his Christmas/birthday package yesterday, and the mail lady told me that he should get it by this weekend or Monday at the latest!! I'm so excited!!

Going along with that, Jon told me that all he wants for Christmas is a tie, and a lot of pictures of me! So I decided to go downtown Provo and take some pictures!! So I'll share a few when I get them from Lindsey (:

Tomorrow is Saturday, and I get to sleep in cause I don't have to be at work until 10:30 (: Life is just great!

Whoops! Here's the poem!

My name is Shaylin, I like to have fun
If you see my hair, it won't be in a bun.
My eyes are green, just like the grass
And I have the ability to shake them really fast.
If we had to compare heights, I'd say I'm taller,
Even though I'm two feet shorter than a baller.
My energy level is hot like a fire
And you won't be disappointed if you hire...
ME! Because I won't let you down,
So please don't hire that other clown.
Pick me! Pick me! You won't regret it
Cause if you don't hire me, you'll surely have a fit.

Sincerely,
Shaylin Dewey.

I HAVE A NEW JOB!!

(Loooong post about how I got the job and so forth)

I work at a place called Pizza Pie Cafe which is a buffet type restaurant with salad, pizza and pasta. I am the cutie behind the pasta bar!! It's a full time job (but only paying minimum :/ but it's better than nothing!) and it's fun so far!! How I got the job was actually pretty awesome! I took the day off yesterday from Synergy because on Sunday night I was not feeling well at all! Thought I had a fever, and all my bones were in pain. So I slept in until 10:45am when I get a phone call from someone I didn't know. I answer, and they ask if I want to come in for an interview at either 11:30 or sometime after 2. So I said 11:30 would be great, and I jumped out of bed and got ready super fast. Didn't eat breakfast cause I didn't think the interview would take too long. So I get in my car and drive for 1&1/2 minutes, then get out (yeah, it's that close to my apartment!!) I walk in and start talking to the girls while I was waiting for the manager to come out, and they told me that if I was able to work all the time (which I am) that I should just suck up like crazy!! ((P.S. this is the place that I had to write a poem about myself, on the back of the application.. I'll put it at the end of this post)) So he comes out and we sit down and start talking, and he's asking me a few of the normal questions, and he was looking at my application, and when he got down to the part where it asks for previous experience I wrote "I have worked in customer service (blah blah) and I love to eat pizza!" So he was like "Oh, you like pizza? Alright, HIRED!!.. Alright, anyways.." and got back to the interview. Then he offered me a part time busing job, and I was so excited! He asked when I'd be able to start and I told him "right now!" So he told me to go buy some shoes, put jeans on and come right back! Then I asked how many hours that would be a week, and then he said "well.. are you looking for a full time job?" (Sure! Whatever you have!) "Alright.. well, we have a pasta and sauce maker position available.. do you think you'd be able to do that?" (Sure! As long as someone teaches me how!!) "Okay.. go buy some shoes really fast, and come right back. Is that alright with you? Are you willing to work today?" (OF COURSE!!!) So I did just that!! My first interview from turning in around 30 applications, and I got the job right away!!!! Ah, I love it. And I'm learning very quickly, if I do say so myself!! I basically just served pasta yesterday, and learned a FREAKING TON here and there.. Then this morning I made the pasta, and sort of saw how to make the sauces, and I learned a lot more today!! (As well as making a huuuge pond of water in the back room!! Whoops!! :) And I'm pretty sure I get to learn exactly how to make the sauces tomorrow!! It keeps me very busy, and I love it, but when I get home, everything from my hips down, KILLLSSS like crazy!! But it's alright!! Worth it! Anyways, enough is enough. Here are some pictures of the gorgeous outfit I get to wear (:

Ah, here it is (: It's finished!!

Look here for the up close and detailed pictures!

SNEAK PEAK!

I'm still finishing up a couple main parts to this page, but I LOVE IT SO FAR!! I'll show you the finished product when it gets to that point, but here is just a couple pieces of it (:

Etsy

I never was an etsy looker until today.. I won't tell you the reason why I decided to look today (cause it's a surprise!!) But I love it!! I then directed my search to a blank book that I could use for a journal to put a ton of quotes in, like in A Walk To Remember (which, by the way is an AMAZING movie, and I absolutely adore Mandy Moore in everything she does)((and that's wayyy off subject)) and I found these lovelies..is that a word? (:

One (because I have an obsession with elephants) and Two (and more from number two here) And they are so cheap!!! $2&3?!? I'm really really tempted to get them. And yes, I know they're small.. What are your thoughts? Should I get them?


Then there's this one and that one and the other one from Barnes&Noble.. so many decisions!!

My kind of music!

Absolutely beautiful. No, beautiful doesn't quite describe it. Just.. enjoy (:

And if you want more music like this, go to Pandora.com and create a radio station and type in Barcelona. All of the music that comes up is heaven to my ears!

I'M REALLY FAMOUS THIS TIME!

See? I'm on American Craft's blog today (: Haha thanks, Lindsey!

BCAM

Kay and I were painting picture frames the other day and I had some extra paint on my plate, so I was just messing around and came up with this. And it just so happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so it's perfect! It doesn't look good by any means, or pretty or anything, just thought I'd share, haha

Job Hunting

has never, ever been fun. But now it's necessary for me.


I might not be employed with my current company after the 15th of this month, and as much as it sucks that I'm losing my $12 an hour with an awesome boss and great flexibility, it's also a blessing.

I've been stressed out quite often by some of the "boys" (over 30 yr. old) that I work with, it's a 45+ minute drive to and from, I'm always completely bored out of my mind, and it just doesn't feel right working here.

I'm really not too worried about it, because I know that I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to and everything that I can to find a new job. Plus, my boss is so awesome and won't leave me without being able to support myself.

Start praying that I can find a new job fairly quickly though!!

I'm ready

for a family. Starting with a husband, of course (:

BRING IT ON!
