My First Kiss Went a Little Like This...

OKAAAY, IT'S TIME!
Today it has been officially six months since my first kiss. Say whaaat? Time has been flying like a fighter jet! *pew pew*

Because of this wonderful milestone I've reached, I will TELL YOU A DETAILED STORY OF MY FIRST KISS! Ahhh!

For those of you who just want the gist, scroll to the bottom and read the section after the last gif :)

I'm honestly REALLY embarrassed to tell this. I don't even know why I'm doing this in the first place! It's like whenever I make a post on this blog, I just get this huge surge of bravery and share everything, which is really out of character for me!
Well, I hope you all can handle all my sharey-ness! I feel like this blog is more of a diary for me... I'm really writing all of this so I don't forget, because I'm one of the most forgetful people I know!

ANYWAY, the story!

Now, our Feature Presentation: Chanel's First Kiss! (Chanel's side of the story)

Adventures of a Sugar Rush

Ehem... An important announcement!!!!!

Okay guys, it's coming... This Friday will mark 6 months since I hiked the Y with Adam, so on Friday I will tell you the story of my first kiss, gifs included!!! PREPARE YOURSELF :)

Okie now it's time for my unrelated story of the week! :)

This past week I hung out with a couple of my friends from high school, Elias and Lori. After watching a movie, we decided to go to Sonic to get their half-off shakes after 8pm, because who doesn't like cheap milkshakes??

Anyway, so we get there and start drinking our milkshakes. And what's only natural for Lori after she takes a few sips?

SUGAR RUSHHHH!
Then I got super hyper too, probably from a combination of lack of sleep and sugar crazies...

So then we blasted the radio, singing our lungs out, and were having a dance party in the car while Elias drove around.

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to dance in a car when you have a seatbelt on. It's very restrictive! So Elias offered to stop in Costco's parking lot. So that's what we did.
Lori and I got out of the car and danced our hearts out.

Then we drove back to my house and watched Youtube videos til about 12:30.
Typical Monday night in the life of Chanel? Mmm... Sometimes. :)
So much fun!

Rainbows, Hiking, and Divine Intervention!

Oh MAN has this past week been insane! Yesterday I finished my last final of the semester, and today I'm heading home to Oregon! Yeeeehaw! I'm SUPER excited!!! I've missed my family so much, and I can't wait to see all my friends from back home! It feels good to be done with my first year of college :) But at the same time, I'm a little sad. Some of my friends from BYU are leaving off on missions, and for those who aren't, I won't see them until Fall semester, and it won't be nearly as often cuz we'll be in different housing :( I know I'll see my friends again at one time or another, but why do "see you later"s have to be so hard? :/ I wish all my friends could just sit on top of a happy rainbow and stay there forever… I guess I'll just have to wait until we get to Heaven until all these "see you later"s are over for good, huh? :)

Ooooor... I could just gather all my friends together and puke a rainbow for us to sit on right now! Just kidding, just kidding. Guys, that's just plain gross, even if it is a rainbow.

Wednesday afternoon I hiked the Y with a few friends! It was so much fun, and it was SOOO windy! Anyway, we took some pictures and hiked to the top and whatnot! 

My Face Is Destined To Be Eternally Red

So I woke up this morning, and my first thought:

(If you don't know what this is and you want to laugh so hard you cry, click here. You're welcome!)

♪ It’s Monday, Mondaaaaay, Monday Monday Monday!! ♫

Do you know what that means?!

I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM MY ELDER! :) YAAAAYYYY!!!
Monday is my Funday of the week! :D

I really wish there was something I could do for Elder Gibby when he's having a rough time... I just need to accept the fact that since I’m thousands of miles away from him and he’s on a mission, the most I can really do is just support him, cheer him on, write him, and pray for him. Sometimes it's hard to only be able to do just that. But I hafta remember, this experience will help him grow and continue the process of him becoming the best man he can be! Gooooo Elder Gibby!

However, on the bright side, he got to play soccer! He’s crazy about sports (remember in the letter he wrote to my parents, his number 1 thing on the list was the he LOVES (capitalized and underlined) sports!), so I’m sure he really enjoyed that!

Oh, you were wondering about the title of this post? 
It's something related to embarrassment, perhaps?
Uh, so yeah. 
I just found out that ELDER GIBBY'S MOM KNOWS ABOUT MY BLOG.

Pilot: 1,000 Days

I figure I should probably make my first post about the general story behind this blog... Well, I'll give a brief overview of the situation I'm in. So here it goes!

Hah. I kind of hate telling this story in a way, because it makes me sound like such a stereotypical BYU student! I know it sounds like things were really insane, rushed, and whatnot. I never would have imagined I would've been involved in this situation, but here I am!

Adam (now Elder Gibby) and I are students at BYU in Provo, Utah. We met each other through a mutual friend at the beginning of December 2012. The next week (finals week), he asked me out on two dates. The first was, y'know... average, nothing too special. We saw Brave in the movie theater, ate candy, and got to know each other a little bit. The second date, December 13th, we ended up deciding to go hike the Y. The Y is a giant, well, Y, that is on the side of a mountain.

It's quite the hike!
