To my Dearest Darling Daddy on Father's Day.

I hold myself lucky to have Theodore Jenkins Badger Jr. as my Dad. He's consistent (Steady Teddy [= ) and trustworthy, if I am ever in a pickle, I know that I count on him to help me out of it.

I love going to look at cars with you, I may never remember all of their names or their maximum horse power capibilities, but I do remember the times we spent together looking at them all.

I love how you cook! Sunday meals were always a highlight of my week! And I love how you consistently invite people over to share it with us.

I love how you still work in the yard, you're not afraid of breaking a sweat. [=

Along those lines, Dad, WOW! You still get up and work out every morning! That is so awesome! I wish I had your perseverance. (I'm rather lazy in that category..)

Dad, I love how you have always wanted the best for me and that you were willing to help me achieve my goals.

But mainly, I just wanted to say thank you. Dad, thank you for being someone who I respect and look up to. There are a million more things that make you the wonderful father that you are and so even though I cannot name them all, don't forget that you are AMAZING!

I love you!

So, as everyone has already blogged about =P Jessica, Eric, Cindy, Dad and I got to spend a weekend in CO for Mason's baptism! Here are a few pictures I got of the trip [=

Ok... so the fact of the matter is that I am lazy. But these pictures have been taken for at least a week! I love you mom.


This coat is SWEET!!!!


And here is my bed, thanks again mom! You rock!

The Chemistry Lab

I realize that I am an impatient person, but that doesn't change how I feel. Here I am sitting in the Chemistry lab, laboriously waiting for pages to load...for the words I'm typing to show up, for my stomach to stop growling and suddenly I'm thinking of mom. This one's for you. [=

This morning I woke up at ten after six (ten minutes late) and I quickly dressed myself getting ready to meet up with Eric to walk to work (sorry mom, I didn't make my bed, so no picture yet!) when he calls saying he's two minutes away. So I sadly brush my teeth without eating breakfast... luckily I grabbed a nutragrain (sp?) bar. That lasted me oh....thirty seconds. So upon reaching work and turning all of the computers on etc, I realized again how thankful I am for vending machines. I was able to get another peanut butter nature bar and milk. (all this talk of food is making me hungry...)

Then onto work, which went very well, I am very thankful for my job, it's great! After that music followed. After Music I went home and found that I was locked out. I wish I wasen't such a stickler for locking the door.... SO, I called Laura and asked where Marci (my RA) lives. Her directions seemed simple enough, so I went and knocked on the door I assumed was hers. Nope, I was wrong. The girl in my ward who answered was like, "Did someone say she was here? She should be upstairs" and here I am "No, no one said she was home I just came to look for her, I'll go check upstairs" So I tromp up the stairs going to what I THINK is the office when I notice that Marci's room is right there. Main floor. With her name on the door. That took a toll on my pride (hah). So I knocked.... and no one answered. I was beginning to think of my window....when I realized that I have back door neighbors! (Their apartment's back door meets up with mine to the outside door) Then my heart sunk again...I knew I had locked that door the other night. So with a heavy heart I knocked on my neighbors door. This really cute red head answered (I played games with her last night, she's cool...I just don't remember her name). After explaining that I was locked out she had no problem with letting me through her dorm to see if I could get in my back door. SUCCESS! I made it in. Not fifteen minutes later two of my roommates showed up...ohwell.

Well, I guess I could write more, but PDBIO begins in twenty minutes and if I don't feed the angry beast no one will be able to hear the lecture.

love you mom [=

Mom!

This one's for you. [= I love you!!! School and work and friends keep me busy at all hours, but I'm loving it [= My calling in the ward is Activities for Relief Society Enrichment, [= My best friend out here, besides my sisters of course, is Laura Lindsey! Here's a picture of us two at the last football game. She's an awesome girl from South Jordan Utah! I still have not decorated my dorm room... I'm so lazy! We'll see, I don't spend much time in it anyways! Today Jessica got back from Disney Land! I'm so jealous! And I went over to her house for dinner and a little bit of catching up! I'm so thankful to have family out here! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get an exercise program implemented into my schedule! But I will! IT SNOWED here just the other night! It's so cold! I'm so excited for Christmas already! I can't wait to see everyone and to be HOME. My good friend Jarett who goes to BYU just got baptized this past Saturday! It was an amazing experience, Laura, Sydni and I sang "Come Thou Fount" accompanied by our friend Justin! Well, that's all for now. x's and o's

A New Post!

Well, so a quick update in my life [= I went out on a really fun date with Niel Burnett up to the hot springs in Spanish Fork, then watched a movie. I've been on a little ice cream run with Adam from work and I've gone on a double date with Tiara with Nick and Johnney which was a blast! This past week was my birthday [= Thank you mom and dad for the beautiful flowers! Jessica and Skyler have been so great for letting me stay with them! Jessica has been taking care of me. [= Ok, so on my birthday we (Jessica, Rebecca, and I) moved my things from Jessica's house to my new dorm! After that we went and ate at Jason's Deli where Rebecca treated me. Then I went back with Rebecca to her apartment to get ready for the day [= My friend Tyler came down to wish me a happy birthday from Salt Lake, then I had a work retreat. So basically I got paid for eating pizza and playing games for two hours [= Then that night (after getting some groceries) I went over to Jessica's place again for angel food cake! Jessica made it and it tasted wonderful! I also recieved my roses then and a cute card from Eric and Cindy[= Last night was friday and Jessica and Sky treated me to Bajio's and a little frozen yogurt along with Cindy and Eric. Rebecca was a no show, because she was going to the movies. During this time I've also attended the introductory meeting for the nursing program and I'm REALLY excited about it! I've signed up for volunteer work at a nearby clinic and with a clean-up crew (pick up trash weeds and stuff every other saturday). Today I ate breakfast with my roommate and invited two guys to come sit with us. I had a blast! We stayed talking well after we were done eating. [= Then I came back to the dorm room in the hopes of confirming with mom how to get my allsports pass. Unfortunately Mom forgot to buy me one. So I talked to dad, who was really sweet about the whole thing, but all of the tickets were sold out by now. So I'm currently really bummed that I won't get to go to the opening football game today, or any others. ]= Luckily my friend Tiara's parents also bummed out on her, so after the tailgating party we are going to find some entertainment! Then tonight there's a dance at Brigham Square so I'm really excited!!!

Just as a funny side note, all freshmen get these different colored wrist bands that get them into things and such. I however, made sure that mine was loose enough when I got it (yesterday, a full two days after everyone else, lol) so I don't have to wear it [= No pointing at me and calling me freshmeat! (that's already happened to my roommate) I just got it for the important reason, THE DANCE! lol. Well that's all for now! I have to finnish my hair and go buy some more books ]=

Love yall!!!

Hey! Since I just described my night as being completely void of anything but me, myself and I, I will fix the error. It seems someone took pity on me. I'll tell the story. So everyone was gone and I really wanted to watch seven brides for seven brothers (Krista just checked it out at the library) since it is just a vhs I knew I was going to have to watch it in the lounge. Fun, watching a movie by myself and not even in the apartment where no one could see my patheticness. Luckily, Rebecca made it back right before I was heading up to the lounge and so she said she'd follow soon. As I was going up the stairs I heard someone playing the piano (very well I might add) so I started to feel bad/nervous considering I was about to try and kick them out to watch my movie. When I made it there it was just Jesse playing and he asked me what I was doing and if he could join me in a bit. So I of course was very polite and said yes [= Then Rebecca came, the vhs would not work properly so I voted to go ask Derall if he could fix it (Rebecca said she saw him home) so we did. Derall could not fix it, it is definitely screwed up. So I thought that was going to put a complete damper on my already sad night. Luckily we just decided to watch a different movie (dvd) Half way through it, Rebecca left for an icecream date with Jeron, so I watched the rest of the movie squashed between Derall and Jesse. When the movie ended and we were all separating Jesse invited me to go get a bite to eat. So we did, ON HIS MOTORCYCYLE. (Sorry mom, I wore a helmit) It was really really fun! After we ate, we just kind of went on a joyride, then went back to his apartment and played guitar hero [= Then I came home! So all in all, my friday night was not a failure.

I love ya'll!
