FEC
Dear FEC,
Please just love me. Love me even when I burn your grill cheese. Love me when I ruin your favorite shirt. Love me when the house is a mess. If I'm angry, mad, sad or stressed just hold me. I'm a crier. It makes me feel better. Don't try and fix it. Just tell me that you love me. Please go on bike rides with me and laugh at me when I wear tie dye and a poka dot skirt to church. Understand that my family is crazy. But they are everything I've got. My cousins are my best friends. I need to see them at least once a year. I also run on sunshine and Diet Coke. The ocean makes me happy. So does jumping on the bed. The Gospel brings me joy. I hope it makes you happy too. I want to have a square dance for our wedding reception. Complete with a caller. I sleep with a stuffed animal fish. I like NPR. I like to think that I can dance. I really like trashy TV. I hope after you read this you will still love me. In return, I promise to love you, grow old with you and to improve my cooking skills.
Love,
The Future Mrs. Lauren

airport thoughts otra vez
1. Headphones where invented for a reason
2. I wish that the McDonald's in the airport had $1 Diet Cokes
3. You shouldn't try to check your email while you are eating fries
4. The security guy: "How fast do you get going on your longboard?"
Me: "Pretty Fast"
The security guy; "You must be a BA."
5. Texting makes waiting go by so much faster.6. Next time I'm in the airport I'll be on my way to NYC
7. Beyond stoked to get back to school and start flirting with the new awkward RMs
8. I have to have a legit portfolio ready to show by next Thursdays. The creator of the Old Spice "Smell like your Man" is coming to the AdLab. Get excited.

wheels
for the last three years I've asked for a longboard for my birthday. every year its the same response. "nope. you are going to end up hurting yourself." while this year my Dad finally decided that a $3 board from DI was worth it to shut me up. Trust me...I'm still going to end up hurting myself. But as for now, I'm happy.
P.S. I need someone in Utah to teach me. Any takers?

tim toone
I called my Dad. And had this conversation.
Dad: Uncle Bill said that Tim Toone (The Lions' Wide Receiver) will probably be at Church tomorrow.
Me: That's cool. Why are you telling this to me?
Dad: So you can get all dolled up tomorrow.
And this is why I was at the store at 11 pm debating over ALMAY Intense i-color Volumizing Mascara or Neutrogena Weightless Volume Wax-Free Mascara. I think that it might be his dreadlocks.
you should write that down
Last night my Mom was my date to a wedding. I kept on having inspiration for what I want at my wedding. She got sick of listening to me and told me "You should write it down." So I'm going to write it down.
No Cake...I hate cake. Brownie Sundaes instead.
No Head Table. I don't want people watching me as I eat.
No first dance. Awkward.
Yes to having a Caller and some good old-fashion square dancing.
Yes to cookies. Philly Style.
No to a veil.
Yes to a photo booth.

I was eating a FiberOne Bar on the pool deck in between swim lessons. A little kid came up to me and said "Fiber makes you poop." The end.

I maybe the oldest in my family, but at 5'10 I'm the shortest. Even my fourteen year old sister bets me out.

en da [mother]hood
I finally get it. At least some part of it. What its like to be a mother. Not in the sense of motherly love but in the amount of work it take. Last night I started my weeklong stint as pseudo mother for the Shippens. Today I put a movie in for the chillens so I could clean the kitchen. I ended up falling asleep on the coach for two hours. Good thing Clara was smart enough to restart the movie.

nostalgia
it's been stormy here in UT. That only reminds me of Michigan. Ohhhh...how I love that state. Watching the storm last night reminded of TFAC and Tracey's pool. I even put on my TFAC sweatshirt for nostalgia. Let then two weeks I'll be in land of lakes, salt bagels and humidity.

commitment
i'm noncommittal. thats why i hate signing apartment contracts and taking showers. my roommate tell me that I should date freshmen. By getting in the shower, it means that you are committing to the day. Staying in PJ means that you are not. Sometimes my roommate has to threaten me to get into the shower. I like smelling good and feeling clean. But somedays I need a little less commitment.

el noche
I went to bed last night smelling like campfire and covered in paint. I was too lazy to take a shower. At least I did brush my teeth. I woke up in the middle of the night really hungry. I stumbled into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of bread. Mine you that I wasn't wearing my glasses and the apartment was only light from the light of my ipod. This morning I woke up with a stomach ache. I decided that some toast would be the perfect cure. Only to find out that my bread was moldy. Really moldy. Thous the stomach ache.

family time
So my whole fam bam was in town for a week of reunioning. I got scrapes from the Alpine Slide. Bruises from Dirt Biking. Scrapes from being pushed down a snow field. And blisters from ironing. I'm a weekend warrior. Also so my Mother loves me. She cleaned my room for me and bought me rice.
