ups and downs of dating...

So i went and saw he is just not that into you today in the theaters, and first off it is a fabulous film. The film was incredibly relate-able. I am attending BYU as many of you may know, and the culture shock of the entire "dating" scene has really hit me hard. I have gone out with a few boys, and been completely surprised and thrown off by the actions of some of the boys(return missionaries of course). This movie was exactly what i needed! It makes fun of some of the insanely stupid things us girls do for boys! One of my favorite lines was from one of the girls talking about a boy she went out with is "well he told me he goes out to the [specific] bar after work, maybe i should do a drive by?" WHY WOULD A DRIVE BY HELP HER SITUATION?! hahaha and yet, we have all thought about doing it at some point. After that priceless line, another girl tells a story about something along those lines and ends it with. . . "i am not a stalker" hahaha yes, yes you are, we all are. Men just drive us to that extreme end.... wits end.

So here i am finding myself at BYU dating men, thinking i had them pretty much figured out by now. . . .after seeing this show, i am back at square one - I got nothin'! I know the show spoke 100 % truth. . . that i cannot deny, but now i have to rethink entirely my dating processes. awhhh theater... bringing me to the real world once again!

Foosties!!!!!!!

While partying it up at a friends house we needed a change of clothes.. Anna and i asked for Pj's just to borrow, and this is what we got.....

good times at work. . .

I work in the Neuro Trauma Rehab at UVMC. I love my job! Reason one why i love my job- the crazy patients. Reason two - my coworkers. Reason three - the love and life lessons i see and experience through my work.

I don't have pictures of reasons one and three, but oh do i ever have pictures of reason two!

Co worker number one. . . . the beautiful Kaitlin Hale... this night she was strutting the infamous in-N-out hat...
This would be Julie(and christine).. some would argue this is her better side.. hahahaha i like both sides :)
This is Shay and her famous "duck" face... i think she looks like a fish off of finding nemo.. can't place which one... One night we discovered that NO ONE else can make this face quite like shay can.. she is a special one!
This- is KATE- aka the BOMB(as rodney would say). She is the prettiest girl i know who can make the ugliest faces for pictures.. it is a true gift
One night we decided to tape our noses up.. Chelsey's taped her eyebrows too, and she looks like plastic surgery gone wrong! hahahaha

This is Kate and I.. Fenise(another coworker) can NEVER keep us straight.. i think that still to this day Fenise has never actually called me by my name. I actually answer to KATE now.

shay works the hospital corner on her breaks...

The Three retards.. ahhhhh

WE eat ALOT at work. . . some days we order in.. others we are on pickle diets. The fries at the hospital are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We all have nick names at work... one day i came in to say goodbye to someone and i had been out with some friends... all my coworkers have never seen me outside of scrubs and i came in hooker heels and spandex.. i quickly got the nick names "street-walker barbie" , and "hooker barbie" I couldn't handle the teasing, so i put XXXL scrub bottoms on over the top!
We had a voiding competition one night... shay CREAMED us all.... i dont remember the total, but i believe it was like 2 and a half liters.. hahaha this is darcy doing a bladder scan on Shay

Christmas and New years

I had a pretty great Christmas back home with the family. I love my family so much more that I have spent some time away! Going home was quite an adventure!
We spent some quality sister-bonding time in curlers and Pj's. . .
My mom decided to join in on the PJ fest. . .
hahah yes, my foot is a FOOT long! whoop whoop! my mom was pretty excited about that.
aw.. who doesn't love fuzzy socks? my mother and i were sporting them all Christmas break!
Camille and I cooked together.. yeah thats right-I helped cook-AND i didn't ruin anything.. atleast not that i remember. . .
For Christmas break we had my Aunt Helen's dog-tiki- she was a ball! here we are together bright and early Christmas morning. . .
After opening gifts, we had our traditional Tanner Christmas breakfast, featuring the Christmas crackers. Here is darcy and i sporting our crowns. . .
And here is dad and mom(covered by candles) Doesn't he look Jolly...?
On my drive back from good ol' Kaysville, the freeways were a little slick. I tapped my break and went spinning across FIVE lanes of freeway traffic! i stared one car after another in the face, but fortunately i didn't hit any of them. I was stopped by the snow buil up on the side of the road, and faced with another problem...
Yes, i was facing the wrong direction on the freeway! With no help from my father, i decided to wait until a highway patrol man came to my rescue. The cop was amazed that my car and i made it across the freeway unscathed. . . can't say i wasn't surprised either!


For New Years Eve my BEST friends from High school and i got together to party. We went out for dinner at the Pizza Factory and then to a party at UVU hosted by ashley tisdale and David Archuletta(or however you spell his name) we had a blast, and it was fun to get dressed up and be together again.

I have a dream.... to do some modeling. There are three things people ask me when they meet me, and they go like this, "Do you play volleyball?" and when i reply no they ask, "well how about basketball?" and when i still reply no they say... "well of course you model then?" I hate letting people down, and without fail after this conversation they are let down. This is almost ALWAYS my first conversation with people! I don't like the impression it gives off, and they always have the tone of well-isn't-she-a-waste-of-height. . . I have also had a lot of people tell me that I should give modeling a try, and I found that i really enjoy doing the photoshoots. They are so much fun, but hard work(yeah, i know, go figure). Here are some of my pictures from my first photoshoot with Brittany. . . see what you think
