Time to Catch Up

It's been awhile since I last blogged. My main excuse is that I havent done anything blogworthy and I havent really thought of a subject. To be honest I have had a couple subjects pop into my head but it was just too personal, I didnt really wanna put it out there for everyone to read. But my life so far has been pretty okay. Its just the same routine practically everyday i get up i go to school i do homework and i go to work. I have had a couple movie night with friends. Also my sister got me hooked on ONE TREE HILL I love that show!!!
But I wanted to talk about my experience today. For all you who are LDS its a very exciting weekend this weekend. Its general conference and we get to hear council from the prophet and general authorities.

                                      This is the First Presidency. Prophet Thomas S. Monson and his counselors Henry  B Eyring and Dieter F Uchtdorf
This year since I am a single young adult I got the opportunity to go with a couple of friends. I wish I had taken a camera I could have gotten some good pictures. But we went down to the conference center to listen. The highlight of the day was when I got to actually got to see the Prophet. It was so cool, when he entered the room it all went quiet. And I got to sustain them as the prophet and general authorities, i usually do that in the living room while Im watching it on tv. I have to admit I sorta dozed through the whole session. But I did take some notes in my planner cuz I forgot a notebook another thing I wish I had brought.
Robert D. Hales a general authority said " Returning to the lord isn't easy but it's worth it"
Quintin L. Cook also a general authority said " It is by the Lord that men know good from evil"
Richard Higby presiding bishop said" CHOOSE FAITH, We ar responsible of our own faith and our lack of our faith. It is a choice"
This experience made me grateful to be a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and I am proud to say it.
Of course the day was pretty fun too, we got lost and saw the stake president and his wife, we ate at subway and just talked  I really enjoyed it.

Peach Days!!!

So this weekend was PEACH DAYS!! All of you are reading and dont know what the heck peach days is, its just a celebration my town has for the harvest-i think-cuz my town is pretty big on peaches we have acres of them. So thats what this weekend was and it was probably the funnest weekend ive had in awhile.
             The weekend started off with me and my friend going to peach days mostly cuz i wanted to get out of the house. We had a great time, we went to all the booths, saw some cool rings and jewelry that i wanted to buy but sadly didnt have the money ( and thats a whole other story) and then we got bored and cold so we came back and watched PUSH. that movie always makes me wish i could move stuff with my mind or be able to see the future

                         This is us chilling out in my basement watching the movie.
Saturday was the BIG day. Our morning started out with a parade. I had to pass out flyers for work so I missed most of it but what I saw it was pretty great. We had family with us and little kids running for candy it was pretty entertaining. I must admit sometimes its kinda fun to go for the candy. My little cousin would show me every piece of candy he got and then put it in the bag and then he would show me all the candy in the bag.

       After the parade we all went back to my house for a BBQ. We had homemade salsa peachces of course and sloppy joes, but you probably dont care one bit what we had. It was really entertaining to see my little twin cousins interact together and its just great to get together as a family.

I love how my grandma's mouth is like open

Of course Me and my cousins went and walked around the booths,got us some free cheese and buttons, Katie entered into like every drawing, and we got flipped off. People at peach days get annoying plus that was the first time ive ever been flipped off. But it was great to just hang out wtih my cousins for a few hours and i saw an old friend from high school. I really do miss those friends.

I couldnt figure out how to get it the right way but thats me and my cousins
Saturday evening me and my friend decided to go back to Peach Days to see the hypnotist. But I also found that my sister got engaged!!!!!!!! it was so unexpected and i wish i would have known. But anyway we sat there in the park forever waiting for the hypnotist, we had to listen to some lame beach boys cover band play. But the hypnotist was great, if you havent seen a hypnotist you have got to before you die it is like the funniest thing you will ever see the people just act like idiots. Personally I would never do it , i dont wanna make an idiot of myself. But i could go on and on about all the funny things the people do. Overall it was a great peach days weekend and I cant wait for next year.
Till next time, Jodi

Its finally hit me

So as you know like 4 months ago I graduated high school. It was the best time of my life, high school was, i went to football and basketball games, hung out with my friends and had a great time in all my classes and of course like any normal girl got a crush or two. But it never really hit me that I was officially graduated from high school. But school started this week for me and the high school and I realized sunday night that I was never going back to high school I had to start my new life as a college student. So after my emotional breakdown on sunday night I was nervous and excited to start this new chapter in my life. I have to say it kept hitting me all week that I was in college and everything I do now affects my future. I made it through my first week without any problems. I gotta say some of these teachers are prettyimonument. Oh and he's a huge harry potter fan he kept talking about it. He also swears which is pretty funny cuz usually teachers arent supposed to do that......right? But my other teachers are pretty cool i got an old man that reminds me of a hippie and two teachers who are very soft spoken and has probably never said a swear word in their life. I think im gonna like college I just cant wait to get enough money so I can move out and experience the real college life.. you know the roommates, the partying and thhe football and basketball games.

My Twilight Obsession!!!

I technically wouldnt call it an obsession i just really really like it. I must admit when the books were starting to get popular I didnt wanna read them I thought a book about a vampire who falls in love with a girl is stupid I'd rather read Harry Potter, but then I read twilight and LOVED IT!! Edward was like the most perfect guy ever. And then I had to read New Moon and almost cried but its my favorite of all the series because this time its Bella saving Edward and its a sweet reunion in the end. And of course I read eclipse which I didnt like, the whole time Bella cant decide and well its just annoying. The last book I read in like 2 days it was great I got it at midnight and read till like 2 am. I guess my obsession really started when the movie came out. Also to clear the air im TEAM EDWARD He's definitely a lot cuter than Jacob and I go for the winning team not one that doesnt have a chance.

                              Me and my sisters have gone to each of the midnight shows of the twilight saga movies. Twilight was super fun I counted down the hours....it was a very long day at school. New Moon was just great it was so much better than twilight and the midnight show was just a little bit funner than twilight. I got me a shirt and my sister got us all burger king crowns and we wore them ( we looked like total dorks as soon as the picture was taken i took it off...its now collecting dust on my shelf edward in front of course)

Eclipse was like the best one yet!! it was great, the sountrack was better than the first two and the whole movie was just freaking awesome. ive seen that one like 3 times and i could see it again and again. For it not being my favorite book it sure is my favorite movie. We have this new tradition where we go to wingers before and get asphalt pie and fries and then go stand in line for what seems like forever.

This is us standing in line for eclipse. thats my awesome blue hat I love that thing

Of course now i have to wait for Breaking Dawn so how am I gonna be able to stand such a long wait? Read the books of course. I've read them each a few times but I could read them more. I always have the other movies too so that will help. Like I said its not really an obsession just a very strong liking towards the series and movies.

Till next time , Jodi

All About Me---no wait that sounds conceited

Hi, Im Jodi Gleed. Im an 18 year old high school graduate about to embark on a very stressful journey called college. Lets see, I still live at home and have a job at a place called Cauliflower Retreat which is a self-worth place that helps girls build their self-esteem and it also has home decor books and shirts. To be honest I live a really boring life I wake up I go to work and I come home. I start school very soon and I still need books--like i said stressful but those who went to college know what I mean. I love to read books especially twilight--yes i am one of THOSE people. but i love jane austen and nicholas sparks, im a sucker for the romance what can i say im a hopeless romantic. I am also a harry potter fan. I guess you could say im a bit of a nerd but im proud of it. I have a bright future ahead of me and hopefully more entertaining blog posts to come!
                      till next time, Jodi
