"Who Are You When I'm Not Lookin'" by Blake Shelton

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

Do you pour a little something on the rocks?
Slide down the hallway in your socks?
When you undress, do you leave a path?
Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad?
Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails?
Call up momma when all else fails?

Who are you when I'm not around?
When the door is locked and the shades are down?
Do you listen to your music quietly?
And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

My oh my, you're so good-looking
But who are you when I'm not looking?

Back in Idaho

This weekend was a lot of fun. I already wrote about Friday night, which was way fun might I add. But then Saturday I just spent the entire day with Greg and Karina. I was just happy to be with them. We actually went to Jessica Labrum's house (Tod wasn't there). She cut Karina's bangs, as well as mine. It was nice to see her for a tiny bit. That night, the three of us went to see the movie Salt with Angelina Jolie. I'm usually not a huge fan of her, but this movie was actually pretty good. Then we went back to their house and watched The Bourne Identity. Karina made us cookies, which were bomb.

Sunday, I went to Leah's aunt's house in Lehi for breakfast, then I dropped the car off at Janet and Martha's in Draper, and a got a ride with Sean (Leah's cousin) to Salt Lake for conference. We saw the second session on Sunday. It was AWESOME! The conference center is amazing, and hearing the apostles and general authority, as well as the Prophet himself, was such a blessing. Definitely worth it. Then the ride home was pretty long. We met up with Greg, and we all drove to Ogden to hitch another ride with Nicole up to Rexburg. It was a long process... We met Nicole in Roy, Utah at a Panda Express, but we had to wait there for Nicole to go back to Ogden to get her own car, and then come pick us up at the Panda. While we were waiting, we had no food, so Leah and I bought some food for all of us. BUT! The best part was that Greg was outside watching all of our stuff, but decided to come inside to talk to us, but he straight up smacked into this huge window NEXT to the door. I don't know what he was thinking, but it honestly made our day. It was the funniest thing ever. He didn't even bother coming inside after that because it was kind of embarrassing. Some guy was sitting right next to the window too, and it didn't even phase him. But Leah and I were almost on the floor crying because we were laughing so hard. I will never forget that. After that incident, we finally got picked up by Nicole and her boyfriend Kyle, and drove home to Rexburg. I, of course, sat next to Greg the entire way. It was a lot of fun.

On My Way To Provo...

Well, today was an awesome day. Here's why:

I had one class today from 12:45-1:45, and then went and hung out with Nicole Goold, a girl I met a few years ago at BYU Soccer Camp. At about 4:30, Greg Livingston came over to Nicole's apartment, where Nicole, her boyfriend Kyle, and I were waiting (because his class didn't get out until 4:15). We ended up leaving for our road trip to Provo, Utah.

The ride was a lot of fun actually. We played car games, talked, listened to music, and teased each other. Greg even tried to braid my hair, but couldn't quite get the hang of it... We stopped in Ogden because that is where Nicole lives, and she wanted to drop off all her stuff before we kept going toward Salt Lake City. After about a half hour there, we were on the road again, trying to use the GPS in Nicole's Jeep Cherokee to guide us to a food place in Salt Lake City. We followed all of the directions the GPS told us, but we were somehow still lost. I called my brother Greg, who drove up to Salt Lake with Karina to meet us halfway, and as he was trying to explain directions to where he was, we still couldn't find him or find out where the heck we were. Until we found out that we were in the wrong city, using the wrong directions. We were in Bountiful. I don't know how we messed that one up, but long story short, Nicole finally let Greg drive the car because he kind of knew what he was doing, and we ended up finding Greg and Karina.

Greg Livingston, Greg, Karina, and I drove to Draper after that, and stopped at Janet and Martha's house. They ordered pizza for us, we talked, had some good laughs, and they ended up letting me use one of their cars for the weekend. They are the most generous people I have ever met. I love them so much. Greg Livingston and I then followed Greg and Karina to Provo, where we stopped to get some Frozone (frozen yogurt). Greg kept trying to get free samples the whole time. It was hilarious. Then we went to Center Street in Provo because Greg Livingston's brother was DJing at a party over there. The only bad thing was that it cost 7 bucks each to get into the party, and there was an "intimidating" bouncer at the door, so Greg was the only one who could've gotten in for free because of his brother. But instead, he came and hung out with Greg, Karina, and me at Greg and Karina's place. It was a lot of fun :]

Overall, I really enjoyed today. A lot happened, but I got to hang out with Greg Livingston and see two of my favorite people in the entire world! Which, in fact, I'm staying at their house this weekend during Conference. It's awesome having this much freedom and being on my own!
