Since my roommates would probably think I'm crazy if I did this...

I listen to this instead...
Listen to it. Love it.

For about two weeks now, whenever I'm feeling stressed or like I want to give up, I listen to this song. It's my little pump up song, if you will.

Kansas Weekend!
Three words...
BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.
Okay I'll write more than three words...
So I forgot my camera at the hotel the first day and a half that I was there, so there aren't even any pictures of Oaklie in her precious little blessing dress or anything, but I assure you the grandparents have plenty to go around. I'll see what I can do about getting some of those. But even without pictures of every single minute I was there, it was still the most amazing trip ever. I hadn't seen Matt since Christmas 2009, I hadn't seen Reagan and Preston since the family reunion in June, I hadn't seen my mom since December 28th, my dad since January 3rd, and I had NEVER seen Oaklie! It was a weekend full of reunions!
We played hard the whole time we were there. Matt gave a beautiful blessing to his baby girl, and I think it was even more special because, not only were both grandpa's there, but Matt's little brother Josh was able to stand in the circle with them (Josh was on his mission when Preston was born). We got to go explore Kansas and a little bit, we checked out the new temple being built in Kansas City, we explored the "aquarium", Preston played in the water...overall it was such a good time!
Preston is so grown up, talks so much and so clearly, he loves his parents more than anyone, he loves his little sister Ickie...or is it Oldie? Maybe Olkie? I think by the end he was saying Oaklie pretty clearly. :) He even said my name..."Warlen". Preston and I were buddies on Monday morning, while Matt and Reagan when on a belated Valentine's date. I was the happiest girl ever, to say the least.
Oaklie is two months old and as precious as can be. She's got the sweetest little face and body anybody could ever ask for. I can't wait to watch her learn and grow!
Here are some pictures of the weekend...seriously not even half of them...I can't imagine if I would have had my camera the whole time!
This is my favorite picture ever! :)
Thank you Ogle's for being such great hosts and having such adorable, fun little kids. Thank you Dad for finding me a cheap flight so that I wasn't the only one that hadn't been to Kansas anymore. Thank you mom for bringing my El Pato jar to me all the way from Boise so that I can actually use my El Pato. Thank you Preston and Oaklie for making my heart so happy. I'm so blessed. :)

Idaho Chicken
I made lunch for the roommates today...Idaho Chicken. It was delicious. I have lots of left overs, for which I'm super grateful. The roommates loved it, one of them even told me it tasted like her Mom's! :) Today is a great Sunday.
That's all I have to say...just thought it had been awhile since I posted so I wrote whatever came to my mind (of course it was food).
OH and I just remembered...First Women's Glee performance on Tuesday at devotional. We are singing "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need". It's a beautiful song about Psalm 23. Read it, then listen to the song. It makes my heart happy. :) Wish me luck!
PS for some reason it's not letting put a link to the song on here, but YouTube search "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need-Mormon Tabernacle Choir", it's the third one down. LOVE IT!

Late night fun...
Because I am sick, I allowed myself to take a nap yesterday. This nap that was only supposed to be an hour and a half turned into 4 hours (it was amazing). But, when it was time to go to bed I wasn't sleepy, so what did I do? I made Meagan, Courtney and Jessica put their hair in a side pony with me (sorry mom) and we had a little photo shoot/dance party (with no music). Talk about hilarious and fun!
I have 18 chins in this one...oh well!

Floor Plan
Dear Mom & Reagan,
When you walk in the front door you are in the kitchen, with the family room on the left. If you walk straight back from the front door you will see the two bathrooms and the vanity on your right as well as Meagan and my bedroom. The other two bedrooms are on the left side of the hall. Is this helpful?
Love,
Lauren
PS The first two days of classes have been good, minus the fact that I have a nasty cold. I can't stop sneezing and coughing. MER. Please bless it will be gone by next week.
OH and how could I forget...a heat wave has hit us today...25 DEGREES!!!
