Update para ti

Ok so wow, it snowed here in Utah too. You know where it didn't snow? Alaska! Ha it was great weather!
Danielle, that's insane! I can't believe he decided that quickly, but I bet it's crossed his mind before. The army is a pretty tough one but I think marines is worse. He should have joined the air force. I quite enjoy AF boys, :) But I hope that whatever happens with you two is for the best. I think that USU is a great school too, but you should probably try for the random scholarships that you can get online that aren't through the schools, those are pretty helpful.
Bergen, I'm sorry about the snow. I would have gone back to bed haha cuz I'm cool like that. I don't much enjoy morning classes either. I am so not ready to go back to school again.
Ok so here is my update:
Last Tuesday I spent all day in the airport with Nolan. It was alright, long and boring but whatev. Then on the plane I sat by these smoker, foul mouthed, stinky people. It was upsetting and I wanted to move. But I tried to sleep the majority of the flight.
We got into Anchorage at quarter to one in the morning. At baggage claim we were all looking around for Evan. I saw him first and of course ran and hugged him! He is my favorite!!! He looks so great! He's all buff and what not and his hair is short but not bald and he looks great. Nolan was also stoked to see him. So between my Nana and us siblings, there was a lot of hugging going on.
Then we went to our hotel and got settled in. Evan went back to his apartment because he had to work in the morning. Adjusting from the time change and long day of travel, we all slept in for forever. When we woke up we had just enough time to get ready before Evan got off work. Then we met him at the mall and shopped around a bit. He invited Chelsea (his girlyfriend) to meet us there during her break...I tried really hard to be nice but I pretty much failed. Then she left :) Nana, Nolan, Evan and I then went to dinner with some of Evan's friends: Dakota and his wife, and Teejay. I had no problem being nice to the boys :) They were both very funny and kind of flirty. Ha they pulled some fat jokes though, it went like this:
Me: Here I am eating a salad but watch, I'll gorge myself in cake later for my bday.
Dakota's wife: You don't need to count calories anyway
Dakota: Are you kidding?
My jaw drops
Dakota: Oh! I don't know you well enough to joke like that yet! You don't need to diet!

Then later, I got a cake (note, we all got cake!)
while I was eating it
Teejay: Hailey, do you feel a little weighed down?

It was terrible but funny. Then when we were all hugging goodbye (people in Alaska hug lots) Dakota was like: give me a hug Hailey, oh wait, I don't know if I can reach my arms around you.
So I punched him in the sternum. It hurt my hand, ha it was awesome.
Then outside we were hugging again and Dakota gave Nolan a high five and went to give me one but while we were practicing the looking at elbows thing, I (jokingly) went for his face and then he actually hit mine! ha he's a fun guy.
Later he txted Evan: Dude your sister, if I was married...lol :)
Hahaha it made my day cuz he was a cutie. But he left for training in Guam the next day so I didn't see him anymore.
The next day we all just kind of hung out and spent time together, going to gift shops and stuff during the day and what not. Then we took a tour of base and stuff. Then Nolan, Evan, and I went to the midnight showing of Clash of the Titans. We went with Teejay and of course Chelsea. Again, I tried to be nice, I did better...haha. Oh and Nolan totally ruined my game and sat in between me and Teejay, ugh upsetting. lol but Sam Worthington is pretty much gorgeous so I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The boys were a little disappointed in it though.
Then on Friday we did more hanging out and such. Evan and Chelsea took Nolan and I to an Easter Pagent at the Baptist Temple--the story was just a bible story, but some of the prayers and songs and such were nutso.
Then we picked up my Nana and went out to ice cream (note I probably gained a billion pounds there---no joke we ate crap the whole time...and tons of it!) and by this point Chelsea was growing on me a little and I was much nicer.
Evan stayed the night with us in the hotel that night. The next day, Nana and I went and got our nails done and Evan and Nolan did Evan's laundry and hung with Teejay. (Teejay is Evan's roommate). Then we met up with them (Teejay came just to drive Evan's truck so he could take it back to base because we were going out of town. That was the last time I saw Teejay. He looks like a whiter version of Peter, they have similar faces...needless to say I liked him :) We hugged! Ha that was my excitement.
Then we drove two hours up into the mountains where Chelsea's parents have a cabin. We met them and did the chatting thing and then ate with them and then we stayed in their guest cabin. Oh wait, So for my birthday I had called Evan weeks ago and told him that since he had an iPhone that he didn't need his iTouch and should just mail it to me. So while I was there I was like You giving me your iTouch yet? and he of course said no...Then HE BOUGHT ME A NEW ONE!!!
So when we went to the guest cabin, Nolan and I spent the night putting Evan's music on my ipod while Evan and Chelsea watched Ben Button.
The next morning was Sunday and so we got up and got ready for church. First we went to a brunch that the church put on. Everyone seemed to be related to Chelsea's family. Like their church was like a big family reunion. And NO CUTE BOYS ANYWHERE!!! They all looked imbred lol it's rude but...kinda true. Anyway then we went to the church service and it was nutso. No one was in sunday dress-like people wore jeans! and there was a drum set and all sorts of music for the band and choir and then the hymns were put on a projector and we all had to sing them. One of them was words to a Beethoven song! It was so weird! They had like a Sunday school session for lil kids up front, in front of all of us. They did a monoloug. And then the preaching was just whacked. Idk, I struggled.
Then we stayed at Chelsea's parents' forever and met more of her fam and just sat and talked--so just sat for me. Then Nolan, Chelsea, Evan and I went out to a horse ranch and then a camp site that was like an abandoned city theme in the old west, it was cute. Ha we played around there for a while. Then we got in a snowball fight (it was warm enough to just wear a sweater but there was about three feet on snow on the ground). Ha I got to push Chelsea in the snow and throw snow on her while she was down...it was safisfying. I liked her better by now. Her family was super nice too.
Anyway then we ate dinner, talked more (UGH!) and then finally hit the road. On the two hour ride back we (we being Nana, Evan and I) got into a religious discussion and tried to explain gospel principles to Nolan. Evan is very sure that he is right and knows the truth and the rest of us are being led by false prophets. His close mindedness is really hard for me and makes me sad, but I am glad that he found God and loves Christ. That church was nutso though.
Once in Anchorage, we went to dinner with Matt. Mmm he's the boy I met on Skype that plays the guitar and is super cute. It was nice having dinner with him. He's a funny kid. And then that was it. Nana, Nolan and I had to get checked into the airport so Evan rode with us and Matt drove his car there so he could take Evan home (well actually he had to take Evan to the hospital..his smallpox vaccine was whackin out and he was getting pox!).
I tried not to cry as I hugged Evan goodbye...but I failed miserably. Nolan did better, he was super sad though. Nana only got teary when she saw me crying. Anyway, Matt sat there awkwardly and I was like: don't be so insensitive you jerk! lol He gave me a hug and was like it was really great to finally meet you in person, you're super funny.
Then I hugged Evan more but he really had to go to the doc so I had to let him go. Then we waited until our flight which left at like 2am and I slept most of the way..but I threw my back out and it kills to move. I've pretty much been in bed all day. Nolan is safely back in St. A and my Nana is safely in Boise. It was an awesome trip.
I saw three wild moose! Two were laying down not far from where Nolan and I were walking in a park and the third ran across the super busy street! It was funny. Alaska is gorgeous! Evan was my favorite part though. It had been exactly a year since I'd seen him. No joke, the day before my bday last year I was stuck in the Denver airport coming back from Texas and the day before it this year I was in the SLC airport headin for Alaska. I missed him soooo much! He is my favorite. I'm struggling now. I've been crying and sleeping and eating all day.
I didn't like Chelsea because she was dating my brother and I didn't think she was good enough. Then because she had a super high annoying voice and a baby lisp kind of, and pencil thin eyebrows. But mostly because she's been with him forever and I haven't seen him in a year and he still wanted to do everything with her. I guess it's safe to say that I was jealous. But she is a funny girl and is super nice so I went out of my way and added her on facebook.
I miss Evan, have I mentioned that?
Well ya, now I'm back. I'm a week behind in school and I only have a week left of classes before finals. I am super depressed and probably ten pounds fatter. Kinda sucks. But that's my update. I love you girls!!!

  1. Hey babe! Well first of all I'm glad you had an awesome break in Alaska. I'm sorry that Evan still wanted to hang out with his gf. I think it's a guy thing cause that's how Paul was when he was visiting a couple weeks ago. And I hadn't seen him in a year either. Bleh. But we still love em right? haha. I think Evan's church sounds fun!!! You might actually be surprised to find out that many MANY churches are like that. All the ones (except LDS ones) I've been to have been like that. I don't mind not having to wear dressy clothes haha. I love wearing jeans to church! And my old church had drums and all that fun jazz! The singing was super fun! Pretty much how Bible camp was too. Anyway...I'm sorry you have to come back to real life....I'm sorry I have to come back to real life! But guess what? You'll have another break in about a month...with me!...and Bullet for my Valentine! ha we're gonna have an awesome time. And then there will be summer. Bergen and I will come visit you and good times are ahead of us! I promise! Keep you head up...cause I love ya! And miss you!
