me

Hi. It's me, Nikka. Last week when I took pictures of Mel, she took some of me also. So lets take a look.. 





I mean I love taking pictures...but I also love having my picture taken, so this day was like the best of both worlds. 



I threw a snowball at the camera

"Wups"




Melissa is a pretty darn good picture taker if I do say so myself

Gotta love it.

dorm life adventures

The past 24 hours have been quite the adventure...it all started when Melissa and I tried to go to bed at 8:30..BIG mistake, going to bed early always backfires. Ahyhoo Mel took some NyQuil cause she wasn't feeling well so she fell asleep. And so I stayed up and watched some netflix until 11 when MEl woke up. At this point I was SO bored and craving no bake cookies to the extreme! So we decided to go make some (why we did, i don't know) but we did.

So Mel looked or a recipe

 And I didn't have anything it required so we just got what we could find.
And we had some pretty good intel that there was Oatmeal in the basement so we were just gonna wing it.

 We picked up Tana on the way
And turns out there is no oatmeal in the basement. So we just hung out down there for a while.. a little too long now that i think about it.

And then we came back up and I still couldn't sleep.. so I painted my nails, obviously.

And then TODAY....
Melissa and I wanted popcorn, buttered popcorn, so she decided to put movie theater butter popcorn in her air popper...BAD idea.

Is started smoking


So what'd she do? Well she took apart the entire contraption and tried to clean it.




Meanwhile, I watched 24, cause like what else am I supposed to do while my roommate is catching our room on fire?



Once she realized cleaning it was futile, we decided that before we could throw it away we had to cut all the wires (don't ask). 


But because of the 24 we pretended like we were diffusing a bomb. 


And then it just ended up in the trash...sad day, I know.


But Mel still wanted her popcorn....so she tried to air pop some with a blow drier, then that started to smell like fire. so i made her stop and we went to the CANC instead.


And then we did a little skyping. 


Basically it has been quite an adventurous day filled with mostly fire and terrorism...my favorite combination! I told Kenna and Tana i would take pictures of them next week so I am super duper excited for that!! Let's hope tomorrow is as exciting as today was! Gotta love college life.

Also I may or may not be going to Asia in August with my brother and sister-in-law and her little sister who I adore!! So like i guess you could say I am completely stoked for that!

Happy Birthday Steph!

Today was Stephanie's birthday so to celebrate we went to Olive Garden!



Not only was it delicious but we also had a blast!


She was either amazed or terrified of her dessert...I'm not sure which one.





The four of us on the outside are all living together next year and we are so excited for Stephanie to come over for sunday night dinner. I really love these girls and feel so blessed to have met such wonderful girls here at BYU!

this week according to instagram


I love instagram. And I feel like it is the perfect representation of how I spent my week so I figured a little instagram photo montage is in order so here goes nothing.

We had a little future roommate date night at Slab Pizza and let me say, that place is awesome!



Church was lovely..we made a list of qualities we want in our future husband and it was a throwback to MiaMaids.


Cupid sent me Elle for Valentines Day


Third fire drill of the week.

To close out Valentines Day Christian and Jackson did a little serenading for Melissa and me. It was sublime, the perfect end to the day!

cheers

Wednesday required a high bun as most hump days do.

Mel brought a pizza lunchable to my Bio review...she loves those things!


Not only is Claire super fun and pretty...but she is also an artist!

Friday was spent sleeping in and taking midterms

And the big Friday night plans were movies and skype with this kid.

overall it was a great Valentines Day week

They Say Honesty Is The Best Policy...Lets Try It

Honestly...

I love my family more than life. 

I love my friends. 

Playing basketball scares me more than most things

I will never be satisfied with my wardrobe

I want to travel the world

The reason I love the airport is for the anonymity it provides

I have no idea what want to major in

I respect people that pray in the cannon center

I'm scared of the dark

I sometimes wish I was an assassin

I wish my hair was blonder

I wish I was Dallas Friday

I wish my skin was perfectly bronze all year round

I love my eyes

I envy those smarter than me

I want to work for the Department of Defense

Jack Bauer may or may not be one of my biggest heroes


Thats all

Mat Kearney

My lovely sister Elyse once burned me a CD entitled City of Black & White and I never knew who it was, but I did know that I loved it! And then about a month ago Elyse asked if I wanted to go to see Mat Kearney with her and I remembered, that is who that beautiful voice belonged to! So for the past month I listened to every Mat Kearney song I could find on Spotify and I fell in love all over again. 

So last night Elyse and I saw him In The Venue in downtown Salt Lake, it was so wonderful!


He not only a great singer but also he was so entertaining.
Robert Francis opened for him..I had never heard of him before but I really liked him




Here we are, having the time of our lives.



I am so blessed to have such a wonderful big sister who takes such good care of me and loves hanging out with me as much as i love hanging out with her! Sister date nights are the bomb.com, seriously though she is the best.
