To be honest, I probably won't be posting here as much anymore because Ben and I have our own website. I'll be more likely to update and post there. In fact, there's a post there that I was going to copy over here, but never did. Anyway, the website is http://benandlaura.us.

You know, married life is busy! I'm always surprised how tired I am at the end of the day. And yet, I still don't get to sleep until 1 or 2 in the morning. Ah well. That really needs to change, though. I need all the sleep I can get. That's because. . .. . . I'm pregnant!Yep. I'm around two-months along now.

Ben and I are trudging along in our wedding plans. They seem to multiply. A few weeks ago we were saying stuff like, "Oh we're almost done" and "There's not really that much left to do." But now, we're singing a different tune. I still have to get my bridal pictures taken and figure out who we're going to hire for our photography.

Well, I remember it. I was going to say that pain is evil. I think that any sort of pain should be outlawed, but especially mouth pain. I just got 2 of my 4 crowns replaced. While the temporary crowns were on, I was in constant pain. Sometimes so bad that it would radiate into my arm. It's really no fun living on ibuprophen.

My college has a speculative fiction magazine called "Warp and Weave". I've submitted to it several times, but have never been accepted. Well this time, I was! That's right, I'm gonna be published. The story is called "So I Forgot Them, Too" and I think it's pretty darn good. If you would like to read it or get a magazine, let me know.

Yep, it's true. I've actually been engaged since September 9. I've been really busy and haven't been able to post it, yet.Here's how it happened:Ben's niece had caught lice a few days before the 9th, so we had to go over to his parents' house toLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1125603182390746642005-09-01T12:33:00.000-07:002005-09-18T13:29:41.870-07:00The same day as all the other pictures and we're having far too much fun.So, there's another picture for you. I think it looks quite nice, especially since I tweaked it from the original. That should please both Pat and my dad, seeing as he was getting sick of looking at the old picture.School has started.

Just for you. Ben and I are in a little play-house at his brother's house. This particular house belongs to Ben's niece and nephew who are 2 years old. It's actually pretty roomy in there. I wouldn't want to live there permanently, but it'd be a good summer-home. ;)Everything's going well. I'm having a ton of fun with Ben. We went to Lagoon on the day after our birthday and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1117343275092252662005-05-28T22:07:00.000-07:002005-05-28T22:07:55.096-07:00Ben and I.

It's very exciting to me, seeing as I've never had a 1 month anniversary with any boy. It's a little aggravating, though, we only get to see each other twice a week and it's going to get worse the closer we get to school. He has to get a certain licence and I'm going to get a job and start an online course.

Long time, no write/read. I've been really busy lately, what with finals and all. I got pretty good grades, though: mostly A's and B's. I got the first C i've ever gotten, though. A C-, actually, in math. I'm very happy with it, though, because I don't have to take it again! And, I'm completely done with math! HURRAY!So, this summer, I get to find a job.

Everything is going well. I'm still substituting for Murray School District. In fact, yesterday, I substituted for the band and orchestra at Riverview yesterday. For some reason, whenever I say that, everyone laughs at me. I guess it's a funny image or something. I definitely discovered something, though.

It's a Harry Potter/Labyrinth crossover. Basically, Jareth and Snape have to work together and they really don't like each other. Go read it, it's actually a lot of fun.

I'm having a rather easy day. I got here at 11 and my first class was a prep period for the teacher. Since it's Tuesday, that means it's an extra long class, an hour and a half to be precise. I'm just a bit bored, so I decided to update.
Everything's going well. I'm not really working on my Galadriel costume as much now that Halloween's over. I'll keep working on Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1098509912362128922004-10-22T21:41:00.000-07:002004-10-22T22:38:32.363-07:00Alright, I'm finally updating. The only reason I'm doing so is because my good friend, and Bishop, Duane told me to. So, here I am. Today, I wore my Galadriel costume to school. I'm still not quite done with it. Okay, so I've only just barely finished hand-beading one sleeve. But for me, that's a big accomplishment. No, really it is!

My bird, Wedgewood, died last night. She was a blue Budgerigar (more commonly known as a Budgie Parakeet). She's been sick for the last few days, and it finally got to her. I can't describe how sad I am. She was seriously one of my best friends.

I've decided that I wanted my blog to look more professional. I just wanted to have something new, for a change.
Unfortunately, I've lost my old comments since I'm using the comments provided by Blogger. I'm still trying to get Sitemeter back up.
There's nothing really that I need to say. I'm doing well, but I'm tired all the time. I'm looking for a job.

It's going to take forever, so I'm starting on it now.
I've gotten the overdress sewn together. It looks beautiful. Sarah keeps saying that she wants it and that it's gorgeous. It's really funny. I think I did a really good job on it.

It feels wonderful, since I was failing it, literally. My score was in the 50s. I was so worried about it. Now I have a lighter step than I did when I woke up. I've also put my contract at Parkway Crossing up for sale. So...if anyone's interested, it's available. Let anyone know that might be interested in a two-person apartment.

I've been so busy trying to catch up in school that I haven't really had time to think straight. On Tuesday, I was up until 4:00 am doing a test for my Tolkien class. Needless to say, I could not wake up for my morning classes, but I got the test turned in. We went to talk to Brother Bartholomew, our institute teacher, about how we've missed class so much.

It was really awesome! I kind-of freaked out a bit when he did the schizophrenic (I can't belive I spelled that right!) scene from "The Two Towers". It really made the movie real to me. Gollum was in the mall with me! I must admit, it was really cool. When he signed my book, he made fun of me because I was wearing a Legolas t-shirt.

I'm really scared. I'm excited, but I'm a litttle worried about how I'm going to perform. I didn't do as well as I wanted to last semester. I think a lot of that had to do with personal problems, and I had some really hard classes. I'm rather excited for my Advanced Fiction Writing Class, though, because I really want to write again.

It's crazy how busy the end of the year is. I took my finals and got pretty good grades. It's kind-of funny because I went to Return of the King at midnight on a day when I had a final at 1:00. I was rather tired, but it was completely worth it.

Has it really been over a month?! Wow, I'm really sorry, everyone! I didn't realize how long it's been. I've just been so dang busy, and not wanting to do anything that I haven't done anything, not even write. I just wanted to tell everyone my schedule for next semester.
I'm taking Advanced Fiction Writing at 10:00 MWF, British Literature after 1800 at 11:00, Biology 1010 at 2:Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1065325852978064842003-10-04T20:50:00.000-07:002003-10-04T20:50:52.380-07:00I am so sorry that it's been so long! I have been so busy that I just had to get some other things done before this. So, I'm basically the ward organist in my ward. I'm not too worried about it, even though I really did stink when I played it last. They said that I can play the piano if I need to.
I just have to say that I really love my job! I really do.

I am completely freaking out! I can't do this! What was I thinking saying yes? I'm so stupid. Yeah, flipping out, here. I don't even know that songs I need to work on right now.

For instance, Brother Bartholomew. He is the best. He helps us so much, even when what he says hurts dearly. He told Lisa and I that we needed to separate more to meet guys. He's right, but it hurt all the same. I love that man! I really do.

Sorry everyone. I've really tryed to keep this updated, but my internet has been so stupid lately. It seems as though they have it fixed, though, and all we're waiting for is cable. Some apts already have it, so it may just be our setup that's killing us. Dunno, have to think about it. So, school is so boring right now.

It's awful! Mostly because I have a feeling that nothing is going to come of it. The thing is, though, even if something does come of it, I feel like it won't. So, something may happen, and I'm just being paranoid. We hung out a lot together the other day, and it was so much fun!

I can't wait to be down there in a brand new apartment, living next door to my best friend, and not having to commute down to work! Don't get my wrong, I love being at home. I really do. It's going to be hard to leave. I'm going to miss going around the house and always having my mom to talk to when I need her. I'm going to miss my birdie, too.

I wrote it in a total of 2 hours. It may not be the best story I've ever written, but I kind-of like it. If anyone would like to read it, let me know. It's about Snape and Aragog.
Today, I told two co-workers that I'm interested in someone.

It was about Terrence Mann. Now I am obsessed with him again. Hey, at least it's drawn me back from my David Bowie thing. I found the best picture of Terrence today at work! It is amazing! I tried to put it up here, but the site that it's on wouldn't let me. If you want to see it, go here. It's the big one, the first one you see.

A guy came in to get a tutorial, except he didn't want me to read a paper, he wanted me to answer a question about a Supreme Court ruling that I've never heard about.

I'm back from Florida! I had such a great time, but I'm really happy to be home. I was most excited to go to church today at my home ward. I was even more surprised when Camille showed up.

A teacher here at UVSC asked me out last Thursday, and me being the stupid innocent girl I am, said I would go. I talked with quite a few people about it after that and I finally decided that I couldn't go, for a couple of reasons. 1) it would cost him his job, 2) I didn't want to pursue the Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1057897997319264922003-07-10T21:33:00.000-07:002003-07-10T21:33:17.310-07:00Sorry, mateys, me job interfered with me postin, but 't won't happen again.

That's right! That's what I did this weekend. There were thousands of Mormon Crickets at our campsite. It was really discusting. I went to our tent that night and there were at least 50 crickets on it. Lets just say that I stayed for one night, then left. I had a few good reasons.

I went to work until 7:00. It was okay, except for the last hour which was terribly boring. No one came today, well hardly anyone.
I am so tired that I really should be asleep right now, but I really want to read some tonight. I haven't been able to read all day, and I have to read a little everyday or I go mad!

I think everyone should read it, even if you're not wanting to be a writer. It's funny and there are a lot of good points about life in it as well. I have taken some of Terry's advice and have really thought through my novel, Altaira. I still have a lot of things to iron out, but I have Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-1056767992631416622003-06-27T19:39:00.000-07:002003-06-27T19:39:52.673-07:00Sorry it's been so darn long since I've written. Since my last post, I have had my 20th birthday and was on the Today show and have read the new Harry Potter. And I must say all of them went and were extremely cool. I'm very tired right now. I had to go to work today, and even though I really love what I'm doing, it's also rather annoying. It's very dead right now, seeing as it's summer.

They wanted to do a story about a family who loves Harry Potter, so my sister, Emily, wrote to them and said that we are addicts. They emailed her back and they called us. Last night they filmed for two hours, getting thirty minutes of video. It will be airing on Saturday at 5:00 am. That's really early, isn't it?

I'll have 18 hours a week and will only work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I'm going to drive down, so I'll get a lot of mileage on my car. But I would rather do that then ride the bus.

I feel really good about the interview and hope and pray that I get the job. It sounds wonderful to be working in a field that I actually want to go into.

It was great! We had time, so we had a testimony meeting. First, Lisa got up and said how frightened and nervous for her surgery next Monday, and that got everyone crying.

I was going to go tomorrow, but the state has asked that we don't drive tomorrow if we can help it.

Finals are creeping up on me, so I've been half-studying (meaning, I study for ten minutes, then do something else). Well, I finally have my laptop, and it's wonderful. No more hand-writing stories for me!
Today my apartment is getting a "family picture" taken. We're all wearing the same shirts so it's going to be cute.

She is the most amazing woman I know! She is willing to go and help my grandma out even though she isn't related by blood. Every week my mom goes to my Grandma By's house to take care of my grandpa who has Parkinson's Disease. She is even willing to help out when my grandma takes him to the hospital.

My dad just bought our new laptops! Go here to see it!

And instead of being outside in it, I'm stuck in here doing stupid homework (which should please my mom). I'm really sad that this semester is ending for a few reasons. One: I really love my classes and will be sad to not have them anymore, especially institute. Two: it means I have to go home and get a job *YUCK*. It's okay, though. At least I'll have Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-922053872003-04-07T23:34:00.000-07:002003-04-07T23:43:55.000-07:00Hey everyone. My sister has just put some of our pictures up from BYU Preference. I think they're pretty cute! Tell me what you think!

My dad is the best! He just said that he is going to buy all four of us kids a laptop as an "End of Project Gift". I can't believe it! I have been wanting a laptop for about two years now, and I had finally given up on the whole idea because I couldn't save my money for the life of me. I cried for ten minutes when my dad told me Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-917537862003-03-31T20:10:00.000-08:002003-04-01T11:18:58.000-08:00I almost missed the deadline for scholarship applications, again. My mom would have killed me if I had! So, that's what I've been working on all night. I'm very confused as to one point in the application, but I'm going to ask them about it tomorrow. I hope that I can get a scholarship. I really could use it!

Today in my LDS Church History class, we were looking in Alma. We were talking about Alma's interview with Helaman and the scripture "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6-7). My teacher asked us what it was that lead up to this saying. What did Alma ask Helaman to do? Well, no one in his other class got it and my class was Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-910333822003-03-19T19:24:00.000-08:002003-03-19T19:24:49.746-08:00You know, being sick is really rotten. Especially when the people you live with don't really think that you're sick so you have to cook you own meals even if you can't stand up for more than two minutes before falling over. It's even worse when you're twin sister gets mad at you for not calling people when you feel that you're about to throw up.

We were going to take her out to eat at Macaroni Grill, but she hasn't been able to eat at all, so there went that idea! Also, we did give her a shirt so that we all match and a stuffed bunny. It worked though. Um, I'm still sad that there's no Oliver Wood, but I'll live.

I don't understand. It's not very hard and it makes me feel good! Anyway, I haven't been feeling very good lately, but it's nothing compared to my poor roommate who just broke up with her boyfriend. I've done that before and it's really not pleasant. Anyway, we have a big surprise for her which I hope will make her feel better.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-902864762003-03-06T22:10:00.000-08:002003-03-06T22:10:27.903-08:00So, today I saw a guy carrying an ironing board and an iron to school. I was walking with my sister, Lisa, of course and we started up a conversation that went something like this:
"Wow! Is there an ironing class here?"(Me)
"That would be cool wouldn't it?"(Lisa)
"Ya, we could learn how to press!"
"And then we would all sing 'Let Us All Press On'"

I think I did a pretty good job and if anyone would like a copy of it, let me know! I'm really tired today and I don't know why. I'm going to bed early, like right now.

Last year a guy from my ward asked me out on a date, which was great. I liked the guy okay and we went to one of my favorite musicals, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". I was so excited to see it, but it was my very first single date and I was only 18.

I'm going to be published on www.writershood.com for the month of March! They've been having problems with the website, so it's not up as yet, but it will be soon. My story is called Taveria. I'm not actually ashamed of it, but I could have done much better and plan to edit it later. But for now, it's rather exciting.

Since I had to reload my template, all of my additions were deleted. I knew how to do the sitemeter, but the comments aren't going as well. It'll be up today, I hope.

My blog was really messed up for a while there, but I've gotten it back to normal! Hurray! Anyway, everything is going well with the writing thing. My teacher is currently looking over my latest story so that I can get it to what I want it to be. I'm actually writing a ton more than I was able to a while ago, so that's good.
Anyway, I'm heading home, so I can see my Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-898241212003-02-26T22:49:00.000-08:002003-02-26T22:49:57.716-08:00I know, I know. I never write, and I'm sorry. I'm going to do much better. I'm taking an intermediate fiction writing class at school and my teacher told us to write every day. I'm going to start to do just that, on my blog.
I've just got to say a few words. I'M LEAVING! I'm really excited. Next year I'm moving into an awesome apartment building. It's actually more like a resort than Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-869960632003-01-05T23:01:00.000-08:002003-01-05T23:01:14.176-08:00Well, I'm starting a new semester in college, and I'm not very excited about it, even though I do have some neat classes. I just hate all the work! One thing I've decided on, though, is that I am seriously going to start writing. An hour every day. If I don't, how in the world am I ever going to get good enough to get published, which is my dream? Anyway, I'll tell you how it all went.

I actually forgot about it for a while there. You see, my computer, being stupid, kept having errors and giving me the blue screen of death. We decided that it was my Windows that was the problem. So, I took it home, and my dad being a great engineer that he is, we tried to install WindowsXP instead of ME.

I don't know if I wrote about it or not, probably not. Anyway, I saw on a billboard that Terry Brooks was coming to Deseret Book in the University Mall in Provo, Ut. I was so excited, to say the least. I took my book "Morgawr" to have him sign it, but was sadly depressed to find that he had been delayed and he wouldn't be there until 3 hours Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392056.post-842648202002-11-08T20:59:00.000-08:002002-11-08T21:02:36.000-08:00If you want to see pictures of me and my roomies as Hogwarts students go to this website and click on the link there. http://wahlee.blogspot.com/ If that doesn't work, here's the real site. http://photos.yahoo.com/wahlee_98Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700385695421906028noreply@blogger.com0
