Oh, Shaylin..

I did quite the stupid thing today. I took a nap, and then I couldn't fall asleep. Hence why it's 2:49am and I'm still awake. Which really sucks, because Tuesdays (tomorrow) are my busiest days! I have school from 8:30am-9:20am, work from 10:30am-3:30pm, school/institute from 4:00pm-8:30pm. Then I get to come home and do homework. YIPEE! But for reals. I have to wake up in 5 hours. :P

But, at least I was productive! In my Ethics and Values class, we have to read a bunch of essays and then write summaries on them. Now, if you know me and my homework habits, I've never ever been good at writing OR summarizing, so this class is a little bit challenging. So, since I read the essay earlier, I wrote my summary! And this time, it only took me like 45 minutes! I'm pretty proud of myself (: Maybe by the end of this semester, I'll be able to write a summary in 15 minutes! Or 10! Or maybe I'm getting wayyyy to ahead of myself. Haha, anyways, I think I'll be able to fall asleep now. And I'm sleeping on the couch tonight so I can actually wake up in the morning.

Adios!

Day 30. I FINISHED!!!!!!!

Day 30 - Who are you?


I am Shaylin Dewey. I am a sister, a daughter, a friend. (I feel like I'm writing one of those poems that we had to write back in Jr. High haha) I am way too impulsive. I am very opinionated on music. I am happy. I am in love with candy. I am incredibly full of laughter. I am excited for this year. I am obsessed with shoes. I am whimsical. I am incapable of going to bed before 2 in my current living situation. I am too shy when I first meet people. I am trying to be more positive. I am very emotional. I am spunky. I am spontaneous. I am easily injured. I am loving. I am me (:

Day 29.

Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.




I miss the old Washington days.. Back in High School when I didn't have much to worry about, and my car would get written on all the time and my house would get toilet papered like it a requirement. Anyways, this is just one of the random drawings that happened to make it on my car (: I should have taken a picture of when I was "Just Married" or when I had oreos all over my car.

Day 28.

Day 28 - A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?


January 14, 2010 (Jonathan's birthday)



January 13, 2011



Honestly, last year feels like 2 seconds ago. I really don't remember, or can't think of how I've changed. Other than in the material ways .. Last year this time, I was living in apartment 307 and now I'm in 209. I was waiting a year for Jon to come home, and now I only have 39 days.. I'm still working at Pizza Pie Cafe (which is thee longest I've ever had a job for!!) I've probably grown spiritually? But not much, which is terrible haha. Well, overall we can tell that I'm quite pathetic. So, that should be all for now.

Day 27.

Day 27 - A picture of something your afraid of.




Most definitely, I'm super afraid of the dark. And I think it's genetic? Cause my Mom and Kaylee are both deathly afraid of it too. Scary stuff out there!! I avoid situations when I have to be alone in the dark.. If I'm with someone else, it's not as bad, but still not ideal. I'm a fan of bright things (:

Day 26.

Day 26 - A picture of something that means alot to you.




This was the first thing that came to mind, and I'm so glad they did. I LOVE the scriptures!! They contain so many interesting stories, and it's our history, and it helps with SOOO many problems that I have in my life!! Whenever I feel like poop, I pick up my scriptures and just start reading. Reason number BEST for reading them: It brings you closer to the Lord. WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT?!?! I wish I could properly express my love for them, but my only suggestion for you to understand how I feel about the scriptures is just pick them up and start reading. Hopefully after a little of reading, you'll agree with me too (:

Day 25.

Day 25 - Another picture of yourself and a family member.




This is my favorite picture of these family members (: If only the rest of them had been there, this would be even more epic!! Nothing like a friendly little game of croquet to have some quality family time!

Day 24.

Day 24 - A picture of yourself and a family member.




I. LOVE. THIS. GIRL.
She is my little "dude". She's growing up so fast, she wears make up, she has a cell phone, she is thee most innocent person I've ever met. I seriously love her. And I'm so excited every time I go home to play with her!! I do feel really bad though, because in Mexico she wanted to play tennis, and I just wanted to chill cause it was my last day. But Jace, I promise I'll make it up to you!! And I miss her like crazy! I think about her all the time, and I just wish she was older so that she could move in with me. I desperately want her to move in with me. I know we'd have so much fun!!! And I'm going home around the 25th of February when Jon comes home, but all the time that I'm not with him, I know for freaking sure that I'll be with my most favorite little sister in the entire world!! I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, I miss her. I need her here. Ma, can you fly her out here please?!

Day 23.

Day 23 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.


Definitely, for shizzle dizzle, this girl (:



I love her. I haven't always loved her, but I definitely love her now (: I now have to share her with her wonderful husband Sean, which I'm fine with. Anyways, we have so much amazingly fun times, I just love the crap out of her (: Well, not literally. I actually hate that part of her. She's quite amazing! I would encourage you to get to know her!

Day 22.

Day 22 - A picture that confuses you.


I can't find a picture for this one.. I've been trying to look for a picture that conveys a missionary coming home, but apparently that's the one and only thing that you CAN'T find online.

So, the thing that confuses me is : HOW IN THE WORLD DID 2 YEARS GO BY SO FAST?!?! I swear, Jonathan just left.. like, 2 days ago. But no, he comes home in 41 days. I'm excited though (: Anyways, that's all for this one (:

Day 21.

Day 21 - A picture of something that makes you happy.




Nike means shoes. Yes, it means a whole butt load of money that I really shouldn't spend, but my GOODNESS do they make me happy!! I. Love. SHOES!

LIFEHOUSE
"Blind"

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

After all this why
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

Day 16.

Day 16 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why.


I definitely want to switch lives with Loonette. And I guess I have to state the obvious for my reasons why..
1. She has a HUGE, COMFY COUCH!
2. She gets to wear very comfy (and silly looking) clothes, AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!
3. She isn't criticized for carrying her doll around (stuffed animal in my case)
4. She gets to sing and dance with the mail man
5. Back to the couch, it has everything known to man in it! EVERYTHING.

Need I say more?

Mexico!

Just so you know, it was AMAZING! I don't really feel like posting about it right now though, so just know it rocked (: And I had a boyfriend for a week who was completely in love with me <3

Day 15.

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

I want to travel the world!


(Greece and Italy in the pictures)

This world is so gorgeous, at least that's what I see in all the pictures. BUT I WANT TO GO!!!!

Day 14.

Day 14 - Picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.



I love my family (: Every one of them, and I definitely wouldn't be here without them all. We all have such different personalities, but we go together so well! LOVE YOU FAM!
