This Just In!

The fire alarm just went off again. 
JUST So You Know... that is the SEVENTH time.. in five weeks. 
....and the second time in the last 42 hrs. 


When there's a real fire, Jones hall will ACE that! 

no showers, tin foil dinners every meal, and lots of bugs.

Hi, My name is Jerrica C Osmun, and I'd like to live in a cave for the rest of my life.
...okay, okay, not necessarily a cave, although I do have one in mind if it came down to that.

What I mean is outside, I'm going to live outside. While it's warm, I'll hike around and rock climb where ever I can get to. When it's cold.. well that's why I own ski's, duh.

If you need to contact me, well just don't try.

P.S. Dad, I'd like to go skiing at least.. 3-10 times this year, you up for it? I think Christmas Eve and Christmas would be perfect days with no crowds(maybe new years too), if we start now we Might just be able to convince mom to let us.

Oh, it is love.

Apparently. I love Jbird (Joshua Bird, one of the boys next door). Except my hand says that I love Lauren more. Predicament? I think absolutely yes. 

What do you think? Josh? Or Lauren?

P.S. Yeah, they both wrote on my hands at the beginning of the training we had last night for callings. You know, Sunday dress, in the church. I tried keeping my arms folded for the rest of the meetings, not because I was embarrassed.. it was just not the time to have things plastered across the tops of your hands... duh.

Two weeks

Two weeks ago I told myself I would share my testimony today. 

I hadn't remembered until my legs were walking myself up to the stand. 

When I got to the podium, I sat in the chair waiting for the person ahead of me to finish.

I didn't know what to say. The morning had not started out well, the night before I had been a mess.

How was I, Jerrica Osmun, going to say something that these people wanted to hear.

She finished, and it was my turn. I stood, walked those excruciating five steps and stood. 

When looking down, there were a Lot of people watching me. 

I didn't know most of them, but there were my friends, and my older brother.

I don't remember a word I said really. At least not much of it.

I only remember, prayer, being here for a reason, He has a plan, and Families Are Forever. 

After sharing what I really felt to say, I walked back, and sat down.

They may not remember what I said, but He will. He was watching me and supporting me when I shed a few tears when referring to my family. Because I miss them So much. He listened to every word and knew I was terrified to be up there. No one else knew how long it had been since I had last gotten up in testimony meeting. They say that our testimonies grow as we share them. I Know that is true. 

Craft Night #1

D.I., 3 frames, 1 mirror, two books, one to read, one to rip.

Hobby Lobby, Paper, more paper, Mod Podge. 

Walmart, Oreo's, cream cheese. 

 1. It started like any other trip Laur and I take, with Yellow car and Music.  

We went to D.I. first and picked up some frames and books. I found an old one called "Phronsie Pepper" Yeah... I tried reading it because I almost felt guilty for ripping it up, after trying to read the first paragraph I didn't feel bad anymore. I also got a book with Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Collected Poems of Emily Dickenson (Which I already have and Love, however, it had those other books in them! I had to get it!). We then went to Hobby Lobby. Let me just say this, that is One Dangerous store! We both picked out some paper and Mod Podge. Last we went to Walmart and got Oreo's and cream cheese. Oreo truffles, duh.

2. Then it went to this. Ripped paper, frames, boxes, vases, books, Mod Podge, music, phones, and sticky fingers like you would Not believe!

3. The first finished product. I wish we had taken before and after pictures! But we didn't. So before this lovely thing had a make over. It was all wood where the purple was, kind of boring. I also took a picture and some words from the book and added those for a little extra charm.

4. I don't have any pictures yet. I'll add them tomorrow maybe. Next I Mod Podged three frames, and put pages from the old book on them. Kenzee had shown me a poem called "Date a Girl Who Reads" I fell in Love. (You can read it here.) I formatted and printed it off, so the picture frames were for that. 

They look so good, I'll take a picture later today and put them up, pinky promise.

5. Kevin came over and we made Oreo truffles. I may or may not had burnt the Almond Bark. We don't need to discuss it really. So off to Walmart it was. finally we finished them.

6. 20 minutes of Mary Poppins and off to bed

Craft Night a success? Absolutely.

what just happened.

I don't know what it is. and I don't know why.
but let's just not talk about today, or how tonight went.

not Everything goes as planned all the time, right?
it's okay to call in big brother to talk.
sometimes you won't even talk that much.
just sit in each others company.
and it's even more okay to eat his candy,
while watching Swan Princess.
it may end at 2:30AM
but sometimes that's just what you need.
a hug from a concerned neighbor boy
and a late night with no thoughts.

until next time.
Jerrica.
