So I have come to a conclusion about myself.
I can't flirt.
It's embarrassing. Seriously. Every time I try I feel like a fool. Suddenly my ability to talk magically disappears. But then, as I am not around said person, I can suddenly think of the perfect things that I could have said.
It's a sad sad fact in my life...:/

Can I Have Yo Numba?
So, this is probably one of my favorite youtube videos ever. I laugh almost to the point of tears every time I watch it. For several reasons that I can't say.
*there is some language, if you have issues with that.

Top Ten Moments from Glenwood
In one week, Glenwood comes to a close in my life. So I thought I would take the time and write about my top moments from living here...
1. Well of course the best part has been rooming with my cousin Rosie! We have had some very interesting moments. I have seen a lot of different sides of this girl. It's been great, cuz!
2. Rosie and I have a fro yo place that we love to go to. Menchies. So yummy. We have been there so many times this year! We even have a spoon collection. What are we going to do with it when we move?? That is a very sad thought...:(
3. I discovered the shows Community, The Walking Dead, and Arrested Development while living here. They have provided some good times!!
4. I have had an awesome fhe family! They are so funny. One of my favorite moments was when we all squished ourselves to fit on one love seat.
5. I had a nail polish problem when I moved here, but I also rubbed off on to Rosie! Now we like doing stuff to our nails.
6. All throughout the year, I have had a problem with spilling things on my bed. Water, lemonade, Dr. Pepper, and even chickfila sauce. It's interesting.
7. While I was at a fondue party, we roasted a marshmallow over a candle.
8. One time Rosie was making cupcakes. They were very good, but the process was pretty intense. And when it came to making the frosting something went wrong, and Rosie ended up having around 3 gallons of frosting made. Don't ask me how this happened...It just exploded. I am never going to forget that moment. But the cupcakes turned out delicious!!!
9. Apparently one time while I was sleeping the lightbulb exploded. Interesting.
10. I have had incredible roommates! I really loved when Ashley came back to stay with us the night before she left for the MTC. That was a special experience. Leah leaves on her mission in a month! I love them.
11. I have had a great ward. Such genuinely good and down to Earth people.
I am so glad that I have some good memories! It was so fun to think back on these fun times :)

High Five for Friday
Top 5 things from my week:
[one]
Last Sunday was my last testimony meeting and break the fast with my ward here at Glenwood. I can't believe that the end is actually here! I have a pretty cool ward :) I'll miss these guys.
[two]
I learned how to cook the food in the back at work this week. It is so fun! It was scary the first time I was taught. But today I actually got to cook the food on my own for a good hour. I'm enjoying it. It gets easier the more you do it.
[three]
I finished season 3 of Arrested Development. That show is one of my favorite discoveries. Hilarious. But just a warning to anyone who might be interested- it has a lot of inappropriate stuff in it that you might not appreciate. But it is so funny.
[four]
I'm finally finishing off my Easter candy. Chocolate bunnies and peeps!! The best breakfast there is, right?
[five]
I got a new toothpaste (crest 3D white) and I really like it. It is so minty that it makes my eyes water. And it really works. My teeth are getting whiter!
So that was my week. Hope yours was great as well! Have an awesome weekend and good luck with finals!

Everyone is Fighting a Hard Battle
It has been kind of a crazy week so far. I have been kind of stressed because of silly little things that keep happening over and over again. And the terrible events in Boston have kind of created a dark feeling right now... Life is crazy, right??
Well recently I have decided to take a step back and just evaluate where I am at right now with my life. What am I doing that is good? What am I doing that needs to stop? Am I becoming the person that I need to be right now? I've never really taken the right amount of time to really look at myself.
I have noticed that my priorities have gotten extremely messed up. I have started the bad habit of going to bed extremely late very night, and waking up very late as well. I guess I have been completely ignoring the counsel of "early to bed early to rise." That really makes a huge difference on my mood. When I wake up late like this I am tired, a little grumpy, and sluggish. I don't want to do anything except be in bed! Thats messed up..haha
Of course, when you are in a bad mood, "everyone else" is doing everything wrong. It can't possibly be you. I have this horrible habit of complaining about what other people do and not even take a second glance at myself.
However, today I was talking to my boss about some of my concerns, and during my shift I was thinking that there are probably some concerns that people have about me. Even if they don't, I have things I need to work on. I need to stop judging. If someone is struggling at work, maybe they are just stressed. Maybe they, like me, have had a crazy week and don't feel like laughing at your stupid jokes. Come on Katie.
I am making a goal to stop judging other people for things that I don't completely understand. Life is freaking hard. Everyone lives in this messed up world. Everyone is a child of God. We all have our own struggles and trials. It is a commandment to not judge others. We need to love one another as God loves us.
This has been one of THE hardest things for me to learn and discover for myself. I need to take a step out of my own head. Get out of my little bubble. There are other people in this world. I need to love those who I may have issues with. No one is going to be perfect. Heck, i'm not perfect, so why am I judging others?
I am going to focus on getting rid of those negative thoughts. Thoughts are the hardest thing to control, but it is so important. I know I can do it. I need to make the change. And I know that I will have my Heavenly Father there to help me along :) I will be a happier person.

Jedi Master Yoda
So I recently made the connection that I kind of have a little Yoda collection in my possession. Last year when I went to Disneyland I bought this Mashter Yoda potato head. It's my favorite "toy". I have enjoyed him being on my dresser this year.
Item number 2 would be my yoda headphones. I was at Walmart with my sister getting a game and we saw a collection of Star Wars headphones. They were less than 10 dollars, so, naturally, I had to buy them. They had Darth Maul, C-3PO, Darth Vader, and a Storm Trooper. But the Yoda ones stood out to me.
I am not going to lie to you, they do kind of creep me out. But they are so awesome.
The final thing is my souvenir from Disneyland this year. I had a really hard time choosing from the plethora of Star Wars shirts in the Star Trader store (my favorite store on the Earth!!!) and finally decided on this one. It is Yoda with hipster glasses. Now, normally I hate everything about hipsters. But Yoda is the only one I have seen pull these off. This is a pretty cool tshirt.
So there you have it. My Yoda collection. I feel so incredibly nerdy for even owning 3 Yoda things....But he's cool.

Thoughts
I hope everyone has enjoyed their Sunday! I definitely have. Today has been one of those days where I soak everything in and feel completely immersed in the Spirit. I think what really pushed this Sunday over the top was the visit from my home teachers. I have the BEST home teachers in the world. It is definitely going to be sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the semester. Anyways, their message really struck me. I'm sure you have all heard the home teaching message this month. You can read it here.
But this message is about the Resurrection. We are so blessed with the Plan of Salvation and to know that we will live again and also see our loved ones again. Think about what it would be like if death was the end. How scary would that be? So scary! But with the knowledge of the beautiful plan of happiness we be at peace. It is called the Plan of Happiness for a reason.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to bring us happiness and peace.
In my Relief Society lesson, we talked about our trials. Though our trials are very hard, they happen for a reason. Whenever I make it through a trial I look back on it and know that I learned so much from it. They are such an incredible source for strength and growth. They are the ultimate learning experiences.
One thing we can never forget is that our brother, Jesus Christ, is always there for us. When we are alone, and completely lost, He is there. He suffered and died for us. He will bring peace. He will bring forgiveness. You will feel His love if you turn to him.
I wanted to share these things with you today because they have given me a boost. I feel a burning desire to better myself after feeling this Spirit.
Have an awesome Sunday :) And good luck to everyone who has finals this week!!!

Jamming Hipster
Ok. So I had a HILARIOUS experience today while driving down University Ave.
There was a guy behind me wearing hipster sunglasses. That should say something right there. Hate those things. So I knew he was one of those weirdos.
I was stopped at a red light and looked in my rear view mirror. He was rocking out. I mean jamming! He had the air guitar going, some jazz hand stuff and everything. He was completely immersed in his music. And then when I thought it couldn't get any better, he grabbed the head rest of the passenger seat (there was no one else in the car by the way) and he started to sing to the seat as if there was someone there. At this point I am crying from laughing so hard.
People in other cars probably thought I was this freak girl for cracking up alone in my own car. But man oh man was that a fun experience. I am still smiling thinking back on that.
Thank you random hipster for making my day. Thoroughly enjoyed the free show.

What's on the Hip Hap With My Life
I've gotten progressively worse at updating my blog... :/ But I will try to be better! I was initially planning on posting about my Disneyland trip, but my computer hates my phone and is struggling to upload the pictures. So that is coming soon hopefully.
Life has been a little crazy lately though! Since I am not in school right now I am working as many hours as possible. That has been so good. I love and hate working long shifts. They are definitely hard because I get so tired. But it is awesome because I am making more money, and I love who I work with. My last paycheck actually made me smile to myself. It was my biggest one yet!
I only have 3 weeks left here at Glenwood. It is bittersweet. I am very excited to move back home and see people that I haven't seen since last summer! It will also be rent-free, and that is very cool. It is so sad though because I have made some great friends here. I love my ward and my roommates. It is just now hitting me how much I am going to miss it. But it will still be good.
This fall I am moving to Alpine Village. It is right next to Glenwood, so I can still party it up with those staying there next year. I am so excited though. I'll be living with my friend from work. I don't know how I got so lucky to get to be her friend, but she is awesome. We are going to have some interesting times there for sure...haha. Alpine Village is also a million times nicer than Glenwood, and for that I am even more excited! It'll be fun to be there with friends while going to school :) So stoked.
That is a little update on what is going on with my life now! Pretty dang excting, eh? <=say that in a nacho libre accent please.
Also, Elder Liddle comes home in less than 8 months. I am missing my best friend so much. It's winding down! kinda...

High Five for Friday
Top 5 things from my week:
[one]
Well, I was in Disneyland this week. That is awesome. So I guess I'll say the top 5 things from Disneyland. The first one is that the weather was amazing. It was cloudy and a little chilly in the mornings, would get very warm during the day, and would cool down to a nice temperature at night. I loved it.
[two]
In Cars Land, there are different places to eat at the "cozy cone". And we got mini churro bites with a DELICOUS chocolate dipping sauce. Amazing doesn't even give these little babies justice. Yum.
[three]
Star Tours is amazing ever since it was remade. I love it every time. If you've been on it, you will think this next part is cool. I was the rebel spy. Basically, i'm a bad guy. ;)
[four]
I enjoyed every single ride I went on. From space mountain, to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I really enjoyed every bit of it!
[five]
We were able to fly to California this time. We usually drive so that was fun. Although I will officially say that I am sick of airports haha.
Well, I will probably update you with my Disney trip later on. I'll go in more detail.
Enjoy General Conference this weekend! I am so excited. I really need this. I need some answers to prayers. If you don't have t.v., you can watch it online right here. It comes on at 10 tomorrow morning. Please watch it.
