Today, Annie and I went to Albertson's and of course we entered on the right side because that's where the Wells Fargo branch is. We don't go there to deposit money or anything, but that particular Wells Fargo has about 5 very attractive men all in their 20's working there. They are there every time we go, it's great. So along with Costco, I saw good job Wells Fargo.
I just recently learned about BFOQ's (Bone Fide Occupational Qualification (something necessary for normal business operation, that could be discriminatory otherwise)) and so I really do wonder if they just had the luck of having beautiful applicants or if they got a BFOQ to get the "Wells Fargo look" maybe. Probably not, because Abercrombie tried the whole "Abercrombie look" thing and had to pay huge fines for discrimination; but still, I've never seen a bank with so many attractive boys in one location. Anyway, I just thought I'd add to the boy crazy blog. . .

Grocery & Boy Shopping
Yesterday, Annie and I decided that we needed to go grocery shopping because we had been eating bread for two days after getting back from Thanksgiving break. So we brought our roommate Juliana along and started our adventure. At Costco we found a fabulous wreath for our door, and if you compare it to the competition throughout our apartment complex--we win. Just to show how much we care about boys, as we were leaving Costco a very attractive boy (he's new, and I say good job Orem Costco) checked our receipts and Annie and I immediately turned and commented to each other what we thought of him.
We then went to Albertson's, and happened to enter on the side with the Wells Fargo branch because we happen to know that there may or may not be attractive boys working there. Luckily, Annie's friend was working so we were able to actually talk to all of them this time. Then throughout our shopping experience Annie and I were quick to decide which of the guys in Albertson's (there were quite a few) were attractive. Sometimes I think we went down aisles to look at a boy rather than get food on that aisle; yes it may be a little sad, but it's true. Juliana just thinks we're crazy because we talk about boys so much.
Finally, as we carried the groceries in; I was basically useless. It took two trips and each time Annie had about 10x more than I did. Especially the 2nd trip; I carried our great wreath and she carried the box of all our Costco purchases. We were hoping that a nice boy would drive by and offer to help us; but the only one that did was late for class. It's ok, we're strong girls (especially Annie).
Basically Annie and I are very hung up on boys. We look for cute boys everywhere we go, no matter what we are doing and it makes errands much more enjoyable.
Oh and a word to the wise; if you want to buy a fresh wreath for your door, get it at Costco--they are bigger, prettier, and less expensive than Albertson's

Thanks
Well tomorrow, (technically today since it's 12:06 a.m.) is Thanksgiving so I thought I would write a few thanks. I am thankful for everything that I have and I realize that I have a pretty easy life. I am well-fed, well-sheltered, well-clothed, well-loved, well-educated; but, yet I still find reasons to complain, things to be jealous about, and quite often mix up my needs and my wants.
I could list all the things I am thankful for for days, but if I had to list 15 things that are high on my list they would be:
1. my mom and her constant and dedicated service to others
2. my dad and his hard, hard work and giving attitude
3. my sister, Annie, and her wittiness, and willingness to put up with me and my personality
4. my extended family and their love for me
5. my roommate, Annie, and her willingness to put up with me, and listen to my constant talking even when she's heard the same story five times
6. my friends that look out for me and really care about me and the things that are happening in my life
7. my testimony of Jesus Christ and his teachings
8. my education
9. my toothbrush and toothpaste
10. my comfortable home and nice apartment that my dad has worked hard to provide for my family and me
11. chapstick
12. the advancements in technology that exist today
13. my car that gets me where I need to be
14. running, warm water
15. electricity
Those are obviously just a few things I am thankful for, but I think it's interesting to sit back and really think about all the things the Lord has blessed me with and to realized that my life really isn't so hard.

Hiking the Y
So last week Annie and I got the bright idea that we were going to hike the Y. We both grew up in Utah, and now go to BYU and have never hiked the Y. We got a fun group together Friday night and headed up. As I started walking up the steep inclines and hundreds of switchbacks I was thinking, who really does this for fun? This is like a "Parent's Weekend" or family reunion activity and I'm just thinking, "Do people honestly do this for enjoyment?" That's a hard hike, not that I'm out of shape or anything, but you can feel it. Then I saw like 10
couples on dates to the "Y". I'll be honest, that is not a date I would be too excited about going on, it might be a good joke to start the date, but who really does that? We made it quickly to the top, and it was like, "well, sweet, check that one off the list." It really didn't give me the gratification I was expecting, but hey, at least I can now proudly say that I have hiked the Y.

The Boys Next Door
More from the single life of Kristen
So our balcony (or sad excuse for a balcony) faces the balcony of some attractive young men (football players). Annie (roommate) and I started the semester coyly taking peaks across the way occasionally. We had a monumental moment when one waved at me, he broke the look-only barrier. We then became involved in the blind game--they open their blinds, we open our blinds. We take a not-so sly glance to see who is home and usually get caught by one of them looking at us. Occasionally one will wave and we gladly wave back. Now our roommate Kali has joined us in the couch-blind game. The three of us sit on our couch with the blinds open and wait for one of them to wave; when one waves we wave back and laugh hysterically because we think we're so funny. Now you may think, why can't they just go over and say hi? It's almost not possible. To go over and formally introduce ourselves with a plate of fresh cookies would ruin the game. We couldn't sit on the couch anymore and get our daily wave. Now this doesn't mean that things can't change, but for now we enjoy the couch.

Aren't you proud to be married?
First may I say, IF YOU ARE MARRIED, WEAR YOUR DARN RING! It's just not right, especially at BYU, to not wear your ring. It's just common courtesy, especially when everyone is constantly checking. Everyone does the quick check upon meeting anyone--the whole approach an attractive specimen of the other gender, take a quick glance at the left-hand, ring finger, if clear we go in for the kill, if not just keep walking (it's ok to feel that brief moment of jealousy that someone else found them first, but at least you know).
Why do I preface with the above comment? Oh, I just recently spent some time flirting back-and-forth (definite flirting) with a married boy. Now this isn't totally my fault--he doesn't wear a ring, why? because he "doesn't like rings". No excuse!
He also failed to mention that he is married--odd; most BYU married boys have like this disclaimer they make sure to put out about every other conversation--"Well my wife, oh I'm married, my wife so-and-so" and so forth, but this boy felt no need to give the disclaimer. So we've been talking we have fun conversations, and I almost begin wondering why he is so slow in asking for my number; well as it turns out he's married, which I found out from some random 3rd party. Now my own disclaimer, I really don't think I'm that cool that every boy I talk to is going to ask for my number, but his flirty behavior was noticed by some of my friends and they were all wondering what was going to happen as well; it definitely looked like two single people flirting and starting to get to know each other a little bit. Well, that "little bit" is over, and I just think it's weird, I mean who does that? I'm now being called the "home wrecker" but it wasn't my fault, I don't do that. So the moral of this story is, wear your wedding ring and make life easier for you and those around you.
